Awesome vid man. I have a question though. I'm new to the woodworking thing. I've never even touched a router before in my life. My question is do you think the Ridgid corded router will work for making that sled? Its 5.5 amps and rated as 1.5hp. They're calling it a trim router. The reason I ask is because there's a smoking hot deal on it right now. The router and a sheet sander for $99. By itself without the sander is normally $129. It looks like Ridgid only makes 1 cordless router. Without battery (I already have them anyway) they're also $129. The questions section of the corded is a mixed bag. Ridgid rep says it can't handle a dovetail, users says it might if you use multiple passes. Your method with 2 different bits makes me think it probably could. Any guidance would be appreciated. Edit: another question...why didn't you just make all the first cuts with the first bit, then follow up with the dovetail? Moving the straight edge is easier and faster than swapping bits, no?

@@KlockoFett I own 6 different hand held routers. Why you ask because the price was right for correcting my mistakes and I did the foolish thing the first time I purchased a router and bought a unit to small for the task. For heavy work buy a reputable hand held router that will work for the main purpose and for various other uses such as a router table mounted unit. I have 2 Porter Cables, 1 is dedicated to my Incra Router table with Lift and yes I have the base if I should ever need to use it as a hand held that unit is 3.25hp. The second unit is a Porter Cable 890 2.5 hp and came as a kit with 3 bases , D base, Plunge base, Standard base. It is 16 years old and has seen thousands of board feet in usage and still going strong. I originally used it under my router table big mistake not enough HP. 3rd unit is a Ridged trim router and I picked it up on sale for 59.00 years ago and only purchased it because I could not find my Makita trim router at the time. Those two units are only used to make door jams , door hinge /strike plate cuts and very light profile work because of the 1/4 inch collect . Such as trimming edge banding for frameless cabinets and shelving. I did Formica work long ago when I used to repair counter tops in apartments that had Formica. I also have an older Bosch 1600 series and use it for various hand held stuff, but my go to is my Porter Cable with my Omni Jig 4216 for dove tails because of the template guide bushings. I also have a Craftsman router that is a Bosch 1600 series disguised as a Craftsman and I picked it up off craigslist for 50 only because it was a packaged deal I wanted the dove tail bits and circle template, guides bushings, parallel guide the guy was selling. That is one of the other reasons I own a Bosch they're motors and bases ( Craftsman/ Bosch) are interchangeable and I can set different bits in the motors when sign making. Then the most expensive and it is dedicated for one job only and that is my Festool OF10 and it is mated to a LS32 system for shelf pins and other rail system routing needs. I had to pick up a collect to let the unit work with my 1/2 inch router bits. the factor collects are mm. So in summary think about what you are going use the router for before you buy ( most import part of owning any tool or machine). Buy it once save time and save money by getting the correct tool the first time around. Trim routers are for very light work only and come with a 1/4 in collect if I recall correctly. 2.5 hp routers will handle light task to medium heavy tasks come with both 1/4 in and1/2 in collets and MM collects are available if you want to use Euro bits. 3.5 hp Routers all task can be done with one, but they are heavy use both 1/4 in and 1/2 in along with mm collects, Will mount to a router lift / plate for table usage. Important factors : Soft start and variable speeds are a definite thing to have on a router or the ability to step the speed down. ( Not all bits turn at the same speed. Warranties are semi important. but for the cost of say a Bosch 1617 dual base standard and plunge $219.99 at Lowes just easier to go get another when out of manufacture warranty. Name brands are just that name brands most all tools are made in China or Taiwan. I have 5 different name brands and would not change a thing because each one has it's usage as I have adjusted to that. For a non production shop get a multi base setup in a kit for general usage and a trim with attachments for special work. Plunge base is a good option to have hence the multi base kit. I was against plunge base routers for a time in the beginning because I did not understand the multitude of things a plunge could do. Piss poor training by piss poor instructor(s) leads to piss poor knowledge and piss poor decisions in tools and their usages. hope this long very long post sheds some light onto the subject for you or any one else brave enough to read through it all. Because when I started out there was no KZread and most craftsmen were stingy with the knowledge of the trade and apprenticeships were very hard to come by.

@@KlockoFett To answer your question the router the poster of the video is using is a palm router aka equivalent of a trim router. So that router is working over time to cut that much material with a dove tail bit. and Heat kills/ dulls router bits very fast. So using an under power router would require the usage of two bits for ease of cutting and to reduce tear out. But also it is a good practice to use that setup . Straight bit to get to depth of the dove tail plus it removes majority of material. Dove tail bit only has to remove the beveled cut of the dove tail. Keeps dove tail bit cooler and prolongs the life of the bit. As dove tail bits cost a lot more than a straight bit. Router horse power is also a big factor in bit usage. That is why poster made statement about router table.

You go girl! I just got my board planer. It's still in the box because I'm busy building a staircase with venetian tile risers and solid wood steps. Though I just got the next couple days off, might be unboxing time! Already made my planer sled.

I should tell you that I used to watch my carpenter grandfather joint using a handsaw back in the 60s. When he built cabinets for our bathroom he would take to well matched edges and glue them together, then saw through the glue line, then re-glue them back together leaving a pretty much invisible line. Any variance from straight was matched with the opposite variance on the other piece. He did pretty much everything with hand tools back then. You have a wonderful channel, thank you and God bless.

It is pretty spectacular when you realize the quality those men put out with just their hand tools.

I feel like a hand plane deserves mention as a method to joint a board without a jointer. Even a really good jointer plane is cheaper, smaller, and quieter than a jointer and an inexpensive jack plane can do a great job as well. The jack plane will also get a ton of other use around the shop. These techniques and jointing with a hand plane are also complementary because the machine techniques can get you close and do most of the work and then following up with a hand plane can get you perfect. This remains true once you get access to a jointer, just "close" gets a lot closer and ideally there is very little work to remove the machine marks and make the surface perfect.

Hey Matt! Love so much about your video, most of all, your engaging, humble, humorous and honest personality, along with all the technical stuff that makes for a clean, clear video. Greatly appreciate the look behind the curtain to learn from your oops - dropped push block and pulling the dovetail bit up out of the groove. I had a couple questions, but you already answered one in the video (I had to watch again before it sunk in) about using a relief bit to put less wear and tear on the dovetail bit, and one about wishing for a router table - so that you could do all your relief cuts, then all your dovetail cuts, only changing the bit once, and using a table's fence and not having to clamp and re-clamp straightedges several times. Thanks!

I loved when you pointed out that it can be a high fence also for things like tapered table tops.

Love the fence jig - gonna make one of those! Regarding the 90-degree blade set - the most foolproof method is to joint the first board face up, then joint the second board face down. The two edges may not be exactly 90 degrees each, but the two together will always be 180 degrees and a dead flat perfect join.

@ShiningDarknes

If the board is wibbly wobbly you are probably best getting a flatter board or, if the thickness of the board is not a concern, planing the board to be more flat or completely flat is a good option. A much more involved option is steaming the board and then clamping it in some sort of straightening jig. If the bard is cupped or otherwise warped and you joint it, the whole piece is not going to be right anyway (unless that is what you are going for).

Kudos on jointing using the level as a guide and then ripping. Simple, quick, efficient. I carry all my tools in my car, don't have a ton of room for machinery and all kinds of jigs. As soon as I saw you setting it up, I knew where you were going and that it would work. Great idea!

The use of the sliding levels along the fence to square a plywood edge were perfect for me - I had almost given up on working with plywood until I tried it - it works - thanks!

I got my sled made the other day! I went for 2 layers of 3/4 mdf. I wanted 1" mdf, but austin hardwoods was out of stock... I glued them and clamped them to a piece of stone slab to stay dead flat. I got a nice 2' x 7' piece of slab scrap from the job I'm on. The things that get thrown away in construction are amazing. I could make end table tops if I didn't want to save it to try my hand @ vereering. There's more slab at the job too. A couple nice full counter pieces that broke on install. It's a crazy blue color. I want it, but it's not in the trash pile. I'm considering talking to the homeowner about possibly using it as a base and rim for wood pots on thier deck.

Great video. As for the need for a perfect 90° between the table saw and its blade (0:53) you're absolutely right, it is better to have a perfect 90° cut however, if you alternate-flip the boards to be joined, the offset angle is canceled and the finished board will still be flat. The farther from 90°, the more effort it'll take to keep the boards flat on the table when you glue them together, but for small offsets that's not a big issue.

Thanks for the video! This sled is going to be a game changer for small shops that don't have a lot of room.

This is really cool. I don’t do enough serious woodworking do justify buying a jointer, and honestly probably never will. These kinds of tips make processes like this so much more available and possible for me, thanks!

Thanks so much. I love your videos and your wonderful personality. As a beginner, I learn so much from you.

That sled was genius!! I actually cheered when those boards lined up tight. Will be making one. Bravo!!

I liked your light hearted humour... learning the various techniques was a joy... !

On the jointer jig at the end, leaving the sharp edge on that one side can also prevent tearout depending on how close you set the fixture to the blade. I am going to make one of these!

Love the 4ft level trick! I use it all the time but might try out the micro jig set up. Also love the shirt, that’s a great album! 👍🏻

I've been racking my brain on ways to get a nice square cut for my seams, and this video just solved it for me.

I grew up hearing “joinery” instead of Jointery. I think in the old days, joinery was a term for all woodwork that was “joined” at corners, like casework. I checked Google, and “jointer” is now used about half the time. Anyway, I really enjoy your style. Very informative.

Jointers square the edge of a boars. Joinery is, like you mentioned, for joining corners, like a dovetail. Planers, while I’m at it, flatten the face of the board. So, if you joint the edges, you can ensure you have 2 flat edges to glue boards together. If they’re planed, they’ll be flat across the face, and if you want to make a nice corner without screws or nails, there are lots of joinery techniques you can use.

I saw your video the other day, about your path from dispatcher to KZreadr. It was very touching God bless you brother. Btw, I think these tips and tricks for budget/intermediate woodworkers are awesome videos, even if I know them already.

I'm 100% sold on this style quick clamp! I got 4, 8" jorgensen ones on the zon for $14 each. I've got plywood coming out of my ears! You could probably get a piece free from a jobsite. I would check small jobsites and ask to talk to the contractor. I get most my plywood free from jobs I'm on. It's always around somewhere and often building up as trash. I got a full sheet of 3/8" and an almost full sheet of 3/4" and some decent pieces of 1/2" from my last job. Plus a 2' x 7' slab of stone! 2 10" x 10' 4/4 oak boards, 6-6"x6"x8' pine lumber, 2 4x6's, and a 4x4. That trash pile was like Christmas!

Yeah and for longer cuts, clamp them down to a table. You could just use circular saw straight through it with a track. Perfect everytime.

An alternative method is to use leg bolts up through the bottom of the sled similar to Rockler's Hold-Down Clamps instead of duct tape, much more secure. Drill the holes for the bolts offset from the center so you have a side for wide and narrow material.

The best way I heard to describe why the level trick works is because the level being longer than the fence allows both ends of the board to maintain contact. With a regular fence the opposite end of the board is not in contact with the fence and is allowed to move side to side as the cut starts.
