No thanks Festool, I'll keep my $1,500 

Cool build! Some thoughts: 1. I like the longform, (mostly) quiet content, as I'm a *BIG* fan of both Mr. Chickadee and JSK-koubou. (Using the captions to explain what is going on is fairly easy to do while editing, too, though including a notice right at the beginning that you are doing so is pretty much manditory.) 2. For the pivot points, I would make the holes big enough to easily fit two nested pieces of brass tubing, with outer one being tight enough in the hole to need to be pounded in and the inner one being just a smidge longer than the thickness of the plywood & outer tubing, then use a washer on both sides. That way, they will rotate *much* more smoothly and you can torque the bolt right down without affecting the action. (Some graphite/etc. for lubrication would also help. 3. Some HDPE tape in the dovetails would also help make the carriage action smoother. 4. I think that you will find separately adjusted endstops will be less hassle than stacking them and using a single knob. 5. Temporary endstops for the actual face of the piece would probably be handy, as they would serve to limit the side-to-side motion of the drill bit while setting up, making setting the main endstops a lot easier. Cheers!

Thanks @Izzyswan! I have to say I prefer to hear you speaking throughout...it's far easier to understand what is happening. You have a lovely voice and don't shout like someone else does... Everyone learns differently...I need to see and hear...otherwise I might as well just read a book...if someone doesn't want to hear ya they can always mute the speaker or go pound sand...lol

I'm trying to learn so please forgive my question...would it make it move more easily if I waxed the wood? Not the work piece...wax the jig

yeah but i was awestruck by that machine :)

@@markstevens6935 Heh, I was completely confused by that machine until I realised what it did. That's EXTREME pocket-holing, that is.

I think it's about volume. He may do a couple 1000 Domino joints in his whole career. But I guarantee you he's going to cut more than a hundred thousand pocket holes.

@@brianjustice908 That's purely a matter of choice. For example, here in Europe, basically no one uses pocket holes for anything, I've never seen on in my life except the ones I made myself. On the other hand, dowels are in EVERYTHING and you can replace those with dominoes as an upgrade.

Agree, it just doesn't feel right without it. Still loved the video though.

@@chrishewlet5471 agree... Izzy's personally is the cherry on top

I like when you explain as you go vs silence

I value Izzy’s thought process throughout the build and more.

Especially the part where he is " testing the efficacy " love it

It's got what they've all got my friend. A motor, a material removing endpoint, and a limit to how nasty you can be with them.

If you drop, or somehow tear up a Bauer tool, the mourning period isn't nearly as long as the much more expensive tool.

i agree, thanks , it allows your own headspace to focus instead of be entertained unnecessarily, cheers

Awesome! Thank you for the feed back.

Agreed

I feel like he hit the perfect balance.

Yes..! What he said..

Exactly!

Exactly!

Awesome, thank you for the feed back. Also the plans are up now.

Noted!

My pleasure! Thank you for commenting

Wow, thank you!

Cool, thanks!

The specific use is called making cabinet carcasses. If you were a professional kitchen remodeler then a Festool domino is a no brainer. You'd pay for the tool before lunch on the first day.

I appreciate that!

Thank you for the compliment and the feed back

Glad you liked it!

That's true. Though the panto Router is much more versatile. Still i Like Izzy's Work.

Thanks so much! The plans are up.

Very nice indeed, just right amount of comment very informative. Thanks very much.

Very cool, thank you for the feedback

I agree. Take a look at his "Pantorouter XL build" in his playlist.

Can’t agree with that last point: it takes up quite a bit of space.

HANG IT ON A WALL!@@mm9773

Yes. The two stops need to be independently settable.

Hey Izzy would edge banding the ply woods with melamine make it slide better ??

It probably wouldn't hurt but not sure it would help much

Right on, thank you for the feedback

@@izzyswan hey, do you still have videos/plans for the crochet vise you built a while back?

Yep. I'll also keep my 1500 hours by not building something used to build something.

Cheap drill press: $70 (should be in every shop) Drill Driver set: $200 (should be in every shop) Table saw: starts at $300 (should be in every shop) Pocket hole jig: Starts at $30 Jig saw or band saw: Starts at $50 This thing requires no specialty tools.

​@@mychalevenson7710 Probably could get this done with a circ saw, a guide fence, a router(same one you use for this jig), drill/driver, various hardware and glue. Granted you could even go more basic and use no power tools, but you would probably end up paying more for those in this day and age.

If it would take you 1500 hours to build that jig without power tools, then I don't think you are much of a carpenter. @@PhpGtr

What model do you use?

A dowel jig can do everytbing a domino can. Idk what you smokin. A circular saw is a table saw. They use the same motor, and the same saw blades.

@@aaronmarkstallerA circular saw is not a table saw. A table saw has the ability to make precisions cuts where a circular saw can’t and it is much saver.

I was a cabinet maker in my teens and 20's and I was doing aluminium fabrication a few years ago for about 5 years and I still learnt a couple of things from watching.

Bonzer!
