@@731Woodworks I Bought 1 anyway, This would have saved me billions if it came out a couple of years ago. Have a nice set of Hollidays. Both of you

Went to buy the Massca Dowel Jig X, ended up getting that, a clamp, and their pocket hole system on sale for Black Friday. This is perfect for an outdoor picnic table I’m building and some garage cabinets.

Bought the fastcap tapes years ago, and they are the only tape measures that have stood with me. Everyone who borrows one loves them and asks where to get them. I also love my flat blade tape, makes measuring super simple on most wood with a flat face! Their glü bot glue bottles are amazing as well

I got that dowel jig X on your recommendation a few months ago. I’ve used it several times already. As a newbie to this hobby it’s really helped strengthen my joints. Thanks, Matt!

I love love love my METRIC Fastcap tape measures. I grew up with metric and I’ve had a hell of a time with imperial, so now I just convert and I never make errors. Love the pencil sharpener in it but also love the white circle, great for writing measurements with that sharpened pencil on it, because my mind is a sieve!!!

Love your videos! The lefty/righty FastCap tape measure (the green one) is my go-to. I am right-handed but I use a tape measure the way a left-handed person would, so I was always trying to read upside-down numbers. Many measurements went awry, and a whole bunch of wood was wasted. FastCap lefty/righty was a game-changer for me.

I’m growing my workshop and have found your videos so helpful in choosing the best tools and jigs. Thank you for sharing your insight!

I've used that cross-dowel technique for decades. Never had a jig to help line things up though. Great way to add a nice look to your work, but I've always done it just as a way to strengthen the joints. Nice to see someone making a quality metal-body tool to help with the process and I will definitely have to pick up a set.

Ok Matt the drawer organizers look great but do you have a tool for under $30 that help me put my tools back in the organizer tray?

The thing is, I am not a "woodworker." I do not make plaques and I do not make furniture. I am a home improvement guy, and I am only that by default. I bought a distressed foreclosure 13 years ago, and I have spent that much time living in it and bringing it back from the dead. But what are houses made of? That's right, even your brick house had a wooden frame underneath. So all of my tools are the same tools you guys use to build your furniture and picture frames. And this guy right here, he is very helpful. Yeah, he is selling things. But aren't we all? He is selling things in a way that helps me out a LOT! That's the right way to do that!

I bought those organizers. They really are fantastic!

@@mooseroo2005 There's a link to it in the description that brings you right to the jig on their website.

I’ve been carrying a Fast Cap Lefty-Righty on my left pocket for some years. Never know which end of the board I’m going to be measuring from. Love how 8th and 16th marks are numbered. You forgot to mention that if you don’t slap a sticker on the side, that white disk serves as an erasable note pad to jot down measurements when partner is at the top of the ladder and you left your paper pad back at the saw. Use it every day.

That dowel jig looks really nice. I have and use that small Suizan saw. One thing that I don't like about it is that their steel rusts very easily. If you use it to flush-cut dowels and you cut the dowels before the glue sets completely, any remaining moisture content from the glue can start to cause the saw to rust after you put it away. If you get this saw, you probably want to wipe it down with some sort of rust inhibitor any time it might come in contact with any moisture. I think even moisture content in wood itself can be enough to cause surface rust. With that said, even though mine has some traces of surface rust on it, it still cuts fine. I think it's good for flush-cutting and also sometimes cutting off small parts. I also use it when I'm cutting notches in wood pieces -- like with half-lap or cross-lap joints, and I want to get nice crisp corners. I'll first cut with a circular saw, but if my cut edges don't meet up perfectly then I'll finish the cut with a small saw like this at he corners. Since this saw is razor-thin with a very fine kerf, you can get really square corners when you finish your cuts with these, and you will have little to no required touch-up with a chisel after you cut.

I received the massca dowel jig x, and would have liked it if they had a center line indicator. I’m going to continue playing with this.

I didn't know you made that jig! Cool, good on ya

Got me that flush trim saw a couple of years ago when I was building a coffin-shaped bookcase for my daughter. I used pocketholes to join the top and bottom sections together and then plugged the holes. The cheap flush cut saw I had destroyed the surface around the plugs. I upgraded to the Suizan and now I use the cheap saw to cut dowels to length. The other cool feature of the FastCap tape measures is the temporary stop under the tape. Instead of using the push-down stop above the tape to temporarily stop the tape, which can be hard to control (especially compared to my old Stanley's), the one on the bottom is much easier to use. My problem is, I've used the Stanley's for so long, before I got my first FastCap, that I never remember to use the temporary stop underneath. Lol That dowel jig looks like the bee's knees. It's certainly not for every dowelling application, but man, talk about a strong joint.

I much prefer a brightly colored tape measure. I have a tape measure dedicated to both the table saw and the miter saw and there are times I have trouble finding them; however, the bright color stands out so easily found!

On the FastCap tape measure the spot where his sticker went is a writable surface, perfect for jotting down measurements. For my cabinet work, I use the FastCap flat back tape measures. It's a flat blade (no cup like regular tape measures, so measuring and marking on a board is easy and accurate. It's not for inside measurements, as the hook doesn't have the normal slippage found on regular tape measures.

I like the message of the shirt.!

I’m waiting for you to show me a Festool Domino for under $30! 😂😂😂

I'll have to try that dowel jig. There's better tape measures out there.

My favorite tape measure... Stanley metal case 12 ft. No huge bulky casing you get with longer tapes and over 99% of the neasurements in my shop are under 12 ft. I have them attached to ttols and work areas in a few spots with screw-on earth magnets... under $10 at the Depot.

Great video and info! Makes me wonder how woodworkers got by 100 years ago with just basic hand tools.

Howdy Mr. 731.. I can vouch for that Suizan saw. Bought one about a year ago. I don't use it too too often but mann..mann. When I need it, it's awesome and works great 👍. I like that dowel jig too. Again...using dowels don't happen much in my shop...probably cause they are a pain to do properly, but I'll definitely have to invest in that angled one.

Just go ahead and add that dowel jig to the cart. Great tool at an even better value from a family owned business.

I’ve been using a Dewalt flush trim saw for a couple months now and I hate it. It tends to jump around on me because it’s a little to flexible, and I’m tired of patching up my fingers because of it. I’ll be getting that saw you showed and see how it works out. Thanks for the recommendation blue brother. 👊

@3:00 Matt, as for making splines... Maybe using the hole in dowel jig with a table saw fence clamp.. ( you know.. those square u-bolts cut in half). Put the bent part in the hole in the jig and figure out how to clamp it on the other end depending on the orientation of the wood. Just an idea.. God bless!

Just wanted to point you toward the Gridfinity system for organizing drawers! It requires a 3d printer, but it's an awesome open standard

4:47 You probably already have a V-groove router bit. Put it in your collet and measure from the point to your fence. That's dead center. Then replace it with whatever bit you're using and the center of your cut will be exactly where you marked it.

I love the shirt brotha!💪

My fastcap tape has both SAE/Metric but on the SAE Side it shows the fractions. Comes in very handy for someone who grew up with basically only metric. I’ve had mine for about 3 years, my shop ordered brand new ones for some new guys and I checked the accuracy with the new ones and it’s still perfect after being dropped hundreds of times

@chingonbass

Жыл бұрын

I just bought one of these so I can start working in metric. I'm tired of wasting brain power on fractions, plus i can't count fractions on my fingers.

The Rocker Router set up jig is missing the 8 mm shank router bits, which with CNC being so popular, are more and more common now. I'd own one otherwise. I have a Fastcap tape measure that has a center-finding scale built in. Not only is the center-finding feature awesome, it's the only tape measure I have (sadly, not even my Stanley's are this good) that matches my very expensive Starrett measuring tools for accuracy. That is, no matter how far the tape measure is extended, the distance marks match exactly the marks on the Starrett measure. Excellant tool.

Love the shirt!

That pencil sharpener did it for me.

The folded Suizan saw is not dovetail saw. It is a ryoba（两刃, which means double edge） saw. A Japanese dovetail saw typically have saw back to increase stability.

If you use a regular dowel jig you don't have the dowels exposed. I can't see any application where I would use this worthless jig. I don't see anything amazing about it.

The only problem I've found with flush cut saws is storage. Not the storage itself, but when you do store it, if you're not careful, the teeth get damaged. But no matter how careful you are, if you let someone else use your saw it almost always comes back damaged. I really like your videos. BTW.
