Sure thing, Andre! Glad to hear you liked it!

I have to glue up some miters tomorrow and I have a ton of plywood/mdf offcuts lying about the workshop so this is perfect Eric!

Thanks for this. I’m making this tool for my first thing I am building. It’s a frame for some art I bought my wife. Thanks so much for this real tip.

Just discovered you. Glad I did! Im liking your simple, down-to-earth style of explaining. Great editing, too. Keep up the good work, we need people like you for people like us😂.

Interesting. I’ve been scouring videos looking for a way to clamp up almost that exact same angle lol. Thanks!

Using abrasive paper as a method to create good clamping purchase can be used in other applications. I also have abrasive adhered to my miter gauge surface as well as the clamping surfaces of my doweling jig to keep the material or jig from slipping when pressure is applied. Screw type clamps could be used to more securely fasten the jig to the material. Most people apply too much clamping pressure to close the joint. When if fact, cutting a clean and accurate joint is the real Achilles Heel. Applying too much pressure allows another dynamic, unwanted movement such as "lifting" of material. If everything is in alignment, extreme gluing clamping force is not necessary for a strong bond. You did a great job of explanation and layout about the need to apply pressure at a 90 degree angle to the center of the joint.

metal or hardwood dogs on your worktable top? they should already be there. x

These is just what I would need... But I didn't quite get how to draw the line... for pressure directing guide, if you will. Marking the center, yeah got it, but where to from that, that is a mystery for me. Maybe it's the language barrier that makes this a bit hard to understand. Oh, but is the line supposed to be the same angle as one need to press?

@SpencleyDesignCo

3 жыл бұрын

Ideally the force would be applied perpendicular to the joint face, but it’s not always possible depending on the angle of the joint. You just try to get as close as possible

Where do you get that protractor and ruler with the holes in? Can't find them online at all.

@@SpencleyDesignCo Its been amazing wish I could have done this years ago, although I'm not sure how disciplined I would have been on safety so it's probably better I started at a later age so I have a better chance of keeping my fingers. My favorite project has been my 8ft by 7 ft tall wall storage with drawers and cabinets. I used French cleats to hold it against wall since I live in earthquake prone Los Angeles. It is solidly built each shelf seems to hold a minimum of 100 lbs. Some easily hold 300 lbs. I will never buy cheaply constructed furniture again. My designs are getting better but what I have most enjoyed is everything I have made has been my own creativity while stealing methods on how to build my ideas. PS: Turns out 1 inch pine can actually take a couple thousand pounds to 2 tons. Now most likely what will fail will be the pocket screws before I get to that point but now I know what my wall storage can take. I actually have a 100lbs on one shelf and it doesn't even look like it's holding anything. I'm so used to store bought furniture flexing just by setting 50lbs worth of stuff on it.

So simple that it's BRILLIANT!

I'll agree HF sandpaper is the worst. I was polishing something once and worked my way up to 600 with some 3m stuff and the next grit I chose was HF 1000 and it scratched the work all up, all paper was aluminum oxide. I was all ready at near mirror and it just fked it all up. With proper expectations and ignoring their grit claims it's not so bad, and I've had rather good results with the garnet paper there like you have in the video 24grit and 220. Hf is the only store near me that you can get paper other than Aluminum oxide and I've found that I'm certain situations it really pays off to have the proper abrasive. I have an embarrassingly large chest of sandpaper. 24 grit to 15000. I like Shiney things.
