Thanks so much, your videos always are informative, and helpful. Been contemplating this using a bandsaw but mine is a bit old and needs help, it is not accurate. This would make it easier. though I am trying to blend 1.75" pieces for guitar bodies, so I am not sure if the accuracy would work. But I am gonna try!

Looks like that 1 1/8 bearing is sold out on Amazon. Do you have any suggestions for an alternative. I don't want to get the specs wrong, I trust your judgement. If I order it I'll probably get a 1 1/8 ball bearing made out of cheese. Thanks for an excellent video for the exact project I'm working on! Timing!

"A lot of people were very complimentary about that video" lol

I’m a simple man, I see Stumpy Nubs, I give a like.

How's that old line go? "... long time watcher, first time commenter..." Well I did exactly as you stated - even got the 1-1/8 bearing - and ended up with a perfect wavy joint between maple and walnut for my daughter's charcuterie board. Now everyone wants one! I should do as 'Stumpy Nubs' first advised 10 years ago and, "break out those crutches as my leg is acting up." Thanks!

If you overlay your two pieces and cut them at the same time sanding ever so slightly just to get rid of the cut marks you can put a filler strip a very thin strip of wood of a third species to fill the gap to make up for the saw kerf. For example you could use two boards one walnut one Purple Heart and then use a thin strip of maple to go between. Because The maple is so thin it will flex and bend easily as you clean up the two boards together during your glue up. Just remember not to make too tight of curves are your snap your maple. The gentle curves you were showing in this video would work very well with the use of a thin strip to make up the curve.

I quite appreciate all your videos - the explanations etc are always so straight forward without any exaggerated chat.. 👍 I especially appreciated the followup to the table saw controversy - it shows, to me anyway, that you actually care about your followers. Good show fom Vancouver Canada

I want to mention one additional condition. It will work only if there is no tight inside corner or curve. The roller bearings have to reach into every part of your templates. As one bearing is bigger than the other you have different min curve radii for inside and outside curves. Can be a hassle on inlay projects.

I just tried it. I am astounded. It freaking works!!!!!!

To us metric folks: the router bit size is X, the bearing needs to be 3*X. (makes more intuitive sense to my non-imperial brain than 3/8 and 1"1/8) Not sure what bearing sizes are readily available 'round these parts so just calculate what fits your project. I seem to find imperial sizes on the German Amazon easily so it's fairly easy to use the sizes on this video and not think about it at all. Just as an explanation as to the reason it's 3X is that when making the working template you remove 1X width with the router bit from the template, so you need to move the router bit towards the master template line by 1X (B on this video is the exact copy of the master template, i.e. the line you're trying to create). You do this by adding a 1X overhang bearing and as it overhangs by 1X on both sides (as circles do), it's 3X. Makes more sense in drawing form, but what can you do in a text-comment section. Behold, my wonderful text-art below :D ______________ |_____bit ____| | X | | |

Maths does help it make more sense. Even more so when you want to add a strip of something else in there. You just have to account for that width on both sides and subtract and route. Definitely going to try this on the weekend!

So the "correction" bearing needs to be 3 times the size of the flush bearing and bit. If the original bit was 1/2 then the correction bearing should be 1-1/2.

The offset must be equal to the thickness of the kerf. If you are using the same bit for both cuts, then the 3X rule applies. However you could use different bits if that was more convenient. For example, you could cut the kerf with a 1/4-inch bit, then make the offset cut with a 1/2-inch bit that has a 1-inch bearing, creating a 1/4-inch offset to match the 1/4-inch kerf.

I think Pat Warner described this in one of his books. Getting more of his wisdom into instructional videos is a good thing.

Great tutorial!!!! That is a cool idea!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!!😀👍💯😎🤘

I think this is one of your handiest vids ever! Thanks, Stumpy!

Wow!! Pretty slick tip. Thank you for sharing brother. Gotta get to practicing it.

4:40 Am I the only one who noticed all the chipping and uneven edge? No way in heck did these pieces line up perfectly let alone imperfectly.

I just love videos like this, because they clearly demonstrate how to go about doing things like this, which i knew were possible, but just couldn't find an explanation on how to do them, in a way that even I can wrap my underdeveloped german brain around. Thank you for your great work, I can't tell you how much I appreciate it!

I am fairly certain that original video was the first of yours I saw and was responsible for me subscribing to your channel.

Terrific - top drawer sir - many thanks

My apologies for not being able to send you an obscene amount of money, I'd love to pay you for your amazing content. This one in particular is just fantastic. Thanks so much!!!

2 Thumbs up video Stumpy. (JF)

Thank you - this seems like a very elegant and easy solution to a vexing problem!

This is probably the best explained video on this topic. I want to curve join 2 live edge slab along grain line to reduce any disruption and this is way to do it! I probably have to do it hand held but that's ok

I already have 3/8" pattern cutting bit. Ordered a Ball Bearing Guide #214 from MLCS. Thanks for the video.

Great video tutorial again. They're all informative and well done, and this one, like many others is a reminder that I didn't know what I didn't know. Keep them coming, please.

That piece of oak looked like it felt destined to become a piece of firewood and split. :) Thanks for all of your great insight!

Thank You, I did understand it, wow.

Wow. Im not a carpenter. Just fascinated at what can be made. That was useful.

great for segemeted turning

Very impressive

You are a fantastic teacher.

Been doing this for years within the world of car audio. Works great..!

Excellent

Great tip.

This took me far longer to understand what was going on than I care to admit. I was having issues figuring out how two templates that would not fit together could make something that did. It wasn't until i thought of that offset space as a representation of what the original router cut would have made, just shifted to the other side of the bit that it finally clicked. If you could use the same side of the router to cut both pieces, rather than having the two cutting edges 3/8ths of an inch apart we'd have essentially an infinitely thin router bit and no problems. By shifting the template off the line of one piece the width of the router bit, and adding that same distance of buffer onto the router bushing, you effectively turn the left side of the router bit into what the right side would have cut if you did it flush. Awesome idea and a great video.

That was awesome! Cheers Stumpy!

James you're amazing! This is a great procedure for very creative work! Thank you!

OMG! Like others, I've been thinking about a special project that would include this design element. I knew the kerf would be an issue, but I was clueless about how to compensate for it. This video has reinvigorated my interest in that project. Thanks for another excellent and useful tutorial!

Great technique, can't wait to try it out. I'm going out right now to watch for the delivery person to bring my bits so I can make some small cabinet doors :-) Thanks Mr. H. for updating this great technique!

Thank you Mr. Hamilton for showing an ingenious method for perfect mating cuts on separate boards! This is going to help out a lot on upcoming projects for me! :)

Had to watch a few time to get it... I got it! Brilliant! Thank you!

Thanks for sharing. This is the type of experiment that every router user should try at least once, whether he likes curves or not. It teaches a lot about templates and router usage.

Excellent. More things I didn’t know. Thanks for enlightening us once again. Hopefully I won’t forget this all when the times comes that I need it.

Now that’s a very helpful video for a fun future project. Super job stumpy one!!!

Top vid Stumpy, thank you, stay safe and well

I was real impressed with your video. I’m making a jewelry box out of walnut and thought I’d try this technique on the lid using walnut and maple. I bought your recommended router bit and bearing set. Made the templates, band sawed the walnut and maple, and started routing the maple with the 3/8 bit and 1-1/8 bearing. Everything was going perfect until the cheap Chinese router bit decided to explode. Pieces went flying at 18,000RPM. I don’t know how, but everything missed me. In hindsight, the lesson learned is don’t buy a Chinese 5 router bit set for $18.

I love your videos... It is that simple.

good trick!!

I can't wait to try this out!! Thanks for all the videos you do . They have helped me a lot.

I admit I had to watch parts of this multiple times. I like the possibilities but I think it a technique I’ll have to try and work through.

Basically, you need an offset equal tot he width of the kerf. The bits don't matter as long as you account for that kerf. For example, you could use a 1/4-inch bit to cut the initial kerf, then a 1/2-inch bit with a 1-inch bearing to create the 1/4-inch offset to account for that kerf.

Aha! That inexplicable stepped drill bit is a stack of bearings. Need to do a bit of doodling to understand how the bearing size compensates for the kerf. Thanks for the great idea.

Scott Grove from Imagine Woodworking has a great video on this using his router guide and bushing.

Thanks for the review, I ordered the bits/bearings and they will be delivered on next Tuesday! ! !!!

Brilliant Dr. Nubs just brilliant. Really James what a way to join different woods.

I once worked with a Mennonite company in Ohio making curved Stain Grade crown molding and casing and it took a while to rap your head around the offsets when creating templates and the inside and outside diameter of the material so it would match the curve of the walls. But it was probably the most fun I’ve ever had at a job and I learned a ton about making customer molding. Thanks for the video and God Bless.

Beautiful, I've been scratching my head while making a jewelery box 2 years ago. Now I know. Thank you James !

Very clever. Thanks stumpy.

This technique works perfectly for the example shown. But, what if the curve exceeds 90 degrees, like jigsaw puzzle pieces?

Slick!

Great guidance on how to complete this project successfully. I just ordered the bits and bearing set to give this a try and see what possibilities come to mind during my learning curve. Thanks.

DAMN YOU ARE GOOD AT THIS

Super idea! Thanks James!!!!

Eventually had watch to find out how the kerf issue was dealt with. Neat method. Also, I was just looking at those router bearing sets on Amazon. Perfect timing with this video. Now I may want to buy them after all, but need to do the non-elective router work on my plate first. Bah.

That was truly fascinating, like a lot of things obvious when explained but really hard to figure out. Off topic a bit, what is the rectangular hole for in some router table insert plates for. About to buy a plate, some have it others don't. Driving me crazy, can't find a single video that explains it.

Great video James, thanks. I'm going to use this technique for a cutting board project.

Love your work 👍

Thanks James! Great update on the technique!

Fantastic James. Thanks!

I watch and it never fails I learn something new to me and cool. Keep up the good work, OBTW I loved the old videos too hee hee

GREAT video!!!

That is ingenious.

Brilliant!

Fantastic! Thanks!

Always interesting

That looks amazing.

Absolutely beautiful, and as always, clear and concise explanations! Thank you!

Excellent instruction!

I love this. Can’t wait to try it

Harder than it looks? IDK Mr Nubs, it looks pretty frickin hard lol

Seems like a guide bushing could also be used instead of the large bearing.

Brilliant, thank you!

Thank you for this very helpful post!!

Top notch explanation.

Great technique can’t wait to try it

Thanks James! Your previous video on this subject was actually the first Stumpy Nubs video I watched. Thanks for the remake, and the links to the affordable bits and bearings! I can't wait to try it out!

Brilliant! I'm definitely going to do this one.

This looks like a lot of fun! I look forward to trying it out! Thanks for the tips!

fantastic, I look forward to trying this technique soon, thank you.

Outstanding video and info

I can use my laser cutter for making templates so I have to try this once I have time

Once again a very well done video, thank you.

Awsome tutorial

That’s incredible.

I do really like your videos. Beautiful work there

As you say difficult to get your head round but w’ll described to make it easier. Many thanks.

I excited to try this......thanks for sharing!

Great...

Thanks for another easy to follow explanation of the technique. Very cool.

I've made some artsy items with a two-piece element divided by a curvy line. Since, as you cautioned, cutting two blanks at once results in an imperfect margin, I filled it with a thin slat of softer wood. By sandwiching the slat between the two halves (and squeezing the living stuffing out of the slat with clamps) they glued up gaplessly.

Hurts my head, but I will try this eventually and just do it one. step. at. a. time. per your video. I love the possibilities for unique creative projects. Thanks!

This is awesome! Thank you. I'll file this one away for future use!
