@TwoBitWoodworks

4 жыл бұрын

Doug Kepley thank you very much! I tend to use the stop blocks when doing smaller projects like making cross braces for cabinets. I might make it out of 1/2” ply instead of 3/4” just to keep the weight down a bit, although the extra weight does help with keeping it in place even without clamping it down

I looked through many designs and liked yours the best. Gave me just the right idea to build my own. However, I did make 1 major change just to benefit my own taste. Instead of making an open section to insert a parts holder, I decided to create a drawer with sections for individual screw sections and assorted other parts for the jig, on soft-close drawer guides. I then cut a piece of plexiglass and attached it with small hinges and magnetic catch to secure all items in place. Then just added a simple catch to hold the drawer closed while transporting. I know, it was a little overkill when a parts box would do the same thing, but I was having fun doing the build and didn't want to stop. I'll post some pics soon. P.S. Where did you get the small notched plastic glue spreader? I have looked everywhere for something like those that I can buy in bulk without breaking the bank for such a minimal tool.

what do you use the t track for?

That's a great looking piece of kit. I especially like the track for repeated holes at a set measurement. My two cents worth, I think I would keep the 'bits and screws' container separately so I could make the whole jig lower to the bench, that's a design suggestion that others may consider, not really criticism. Great job

It's discouraging when woodworking YT'rs take credit for someone else's intellectual idea, pass it off as their own and, worse still, sell it for profit. This workstation was created by Woodsmith and shown in Season 12 of Woodsmith Shop. Woodsmith presented a YT video of their workstation 5 months prior to your video. Their plans are free to everyone. Yes, you made minor changes - principally, a solid back to the storage compartment, and you plowed out a recess in the case to level the Kreg jig to the work surface. Woodsmith's design is superior in this latter respect as they added spacers to level the jig resulting in a full 3/4" of wood to screw the jig vs yours with ~3/8" (best guess) depending on how deep your recess. This is Woodsmith's design, and it should have been credited as such. Or, is it unreasonable to expect intellectual honesty where monetization is involved? Particularly when the plan from the original maker is free.

I made it with woodprix !
