I am a beginner to woodwork, the main test I have with this bundle ru-vid.comUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt is that I think that its hard to settle on a choice of the plan and outline to use as there are a large portion of them there. Nonetheless, I like the simple stride to step directions laid out there.
Really well done in craftsmanship. I'd only change the tightening handles or install a spring mechanism to save force in tightening up. But again: really well done!
Interesting setup. There might be a change in the last bit or two: Might want to use wax paper or maybe wax down the two horizontal surfaces, as they might end up being glued to your work pieces.
Great design and could even be expanded upon for larger or even pieces with "strange" angles. Might even be better than the belts and clamps I use periodically
This is a great realization of the idea. My only caveat can also be encountered using the less sophisticated method of conventional bar clamps with separate clamps to squeeze the cauls. When pressure is applied on the cauls to flush up the clamped pieces, any pressure applied on a cantilevered part of the caul, rather than inboard, acts to bend the cauls slightly, lifting the pressure in the middle of the glue-up and allowing the members to slip and slide to an unflush condition, defeating the function.
@@davidbostock6933 yes, it definitely would. But no need to go to that length, when the remedy is merely to shift the pressure applied vertically to a point inboard of the edge of the stock. Goes for all applications, the subject of the video included! In the pictured case, extending the clamping screw less would allow the apparatus to engage the caul a notch or so farther inboard. If that point is even only slighty in from the edge of the stock, goal accomplished!
@@Syncuno, imagine this: a freshly made S'more (do you know the Girl Scout camping confection?). Now, you are trying to spread the filling between the two Graham Crackers by squeezing with a pair of popsicle sticks laid flat on top and bottom. If you just squeeze those sticks by their overhanging ends, they might flex so much that the stuff in the center does not flow but the crackers break in half. Rather than letting that happen, you squeeze with your fingers closer to the middle of the sandwich, the sticks don't deflect as much, and a tasty, more evenly spread treat is achieved. Well, I guess that was just as obscure, sorry. What are the terms I used that were not clear? Cauls? Cantilevered?
I bought the hardware kit from WoodCraft in 1992, six sets, my oldest son has them now in his wood shop. I used white oak boards and mounted the hardware on them. I do see a slight advantage in these he made because the notches go all along the length of the board rather then the shorter length of the WoodCraft hardware set.
Excelente proyecto muy bien desarrollado y mejor ejecutado , una buena herramienta/prensa muy original y peculiar , gracias por compartir tanto ingenió y conocimientos , un saludo cordial y por supuesto un gran like desde Narón (Galicia) 🤓 🔝
I'm sure there's a video laying around here somewhere to help in the lathe department. Or any other department for that matter. Search, find, think, build.💕
Nice jig. Love how it aligns everything. But what happens if one or more boards are just slightly wider than the rest? Say 1/16" wider. Or even 1/32". You'd have to make sure all the boards are the same width and be accurate at it. Not everybody has a nice tablesaw.
