Hey, thanks for checking out my channel. I hope you find some useful information and don’t forget to subscribe so you won’t miss any new videos.
With the Holiday coming up unfortunately I'll only be posting 1 video a week on Fridays. I'll get back to twice a week in February 2024. Thanks again to everyone who has subscribed and watched my videos!
The reason for this channel is I have had projects that I feel I have wasted so much time trying to research online and on UA-cam because the information is either not there or incomplete. My goal is to provide detailed videos with links to everything that I use to make your life a little easier.
I have been doing woodworking since I was in high school (a while) and I also enjoy making 3D projects and general projects so the videos I post will be basically what projects I have going on and how I go about getting them done.

Ultimate Shop Organization: How I Mastered the Matchfit Dovetail System
Welcome back to Wilmer Woodworks! In this video, I’m diving into Micro Jig’s Matchfit dovetail system to show you how I’m using it to organize my shop. From router bits to clamps, this system offers a ton of versatility, and I can’t wait to share how it has transformed a cluttered space into something functional and efficient. Whether you’re new to the Matchfit system or just curious about how it works, I’ll walk you through every step, from relief cuts to routing dovetails, and highlight why this innovative tool is perfect for woodworkers like us.
Micro Jig’s commitment to safety and creativity is something I genuinely admire. Although this video isn’t sponsored, I’ve been a fan of their tools for years. I received their Gripper push block last Christmas, and it’s become a staple in my shop. It’s amazing how much peace of mind it provides during close table saw cuts. This time, I’m taking their Matchfit system to the next level, using MDF and some simple 3D-printed fixtures to create a custom storage solution that fits my workflow perfectly.
Stick around to see the final setup and how everything comes together! I’ll also share some tips on using the Matchfit clamps and making your own fixtures with affordable hardware. Whether you’re into woodworking, shop organization, or just looking for smart solutions to everyday challenges, this video has something for you. Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more woodworking projects and shop upgrades-I’ve got plenty more ideas in the works!

Diy Pallet Frame In Minutes: Easy Rustic Tutorial
Nice video; thanks for sharing! Glad to hear about the 1/4” washers; it’s nice to have an alternative to buying the green inset pieces you were talking about 3D printing. I ended up making some hold-downs for this with 3 pieces of 3/8” by 3/4” ply (glued together, with a slot in the middle for the bolt), some 1/2” dowel at one end, and rubber furniture shims at the other. They work pretty well so far. Thanks again for the vid!
I have been using this product for a while now. This is a Great system.
Yeah I'm really liking it so far.
Matchfit makes 1/4" collet dovetail bits as well. I've used one without a relief cut, but I probably won't do any more that way.
Good to know. A 1/4" bit would be nice in a trim router but I would be worried it would be under powered.
Helpful tip: Right-click the # heading in the cuts & layers window and select "sort cuts last". Thanks for this excellent video!
Great tip! It's amazing how many little things can make the process easier, thanks for sharing.
How is it working for you so far? Still happy with it? Thanks great video.
It's still working great! I am definitely happy with it. I think I might try adding a camera to better align projects and possibly a rotary tool to do cups.
@@wilmerwoodworks@wilmerwoodworks Thanks, super useful.
This is fantastic! Thank you so much!
You are so welcome!
Wow! This is super helpful! Thank you!!
I'm glad you found it helpful!
I stopped makiing these as you cannot buy the mini booze bottles here in Canada. Only the 50ml ones are sold now. Two big for this kind of holder.
That's a shame - hopefully, they bring the smaller bottles back!
I like the ornament and the cutting boards are beautiful!
Thank you so much! I hope you get a chance to make some of these.
Excellent demonstration. Thank you!
You're welcome! I hope you give it a try!
Awesome
Thanks!
Nice, little project. Merry Christmas for you too.
I really appreciate your kind words! Merry Christmas to you too; I hope you have a wonderful holiday season!
Thank you for sharing. Have been looking for a file like this. I clicked on your link. The photo says it’s free, but when I add to cart there is a charge.
Sorry about that (my site isn't the best) it was supposed to be free for the weekend and then a charge on Monday. I've adjusted it so you should be able to download it now for free. wilmerwoodworks.com/product/mini-bottle-holder-christmas-ornament-festive-and-fun-holiday-decor

Thanks! I hope you everyone can enjoy this video during the Holidays. Merry Christmas. 🎄🎁🎅
That’s amazing - love the stream deck! Do you have that linked?
I'm still getting the handle of the stream deck. I used it with OBS but I really need to set it up for Davinci also.
MacBook Pro!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 so happy you chose to do it!
It was a scary choice but I think well worth it. I was able to render a 3hr video in about 20min (with my old computer it would take about 10hr 😂)
New Sub!! Thanks for a great video.
Welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for Subscribing! 👍
Hi, thank you for the design. Very cute. I'm new to laser engraving. I have the falcon2 22w and I used 1/8 basswood. I scored the wood but did not cut at all. Can you tell me what I did wrong?
What settings did you have your cut set to? I would suggest you try 500mm/m @ 70-80%. If that doesn't cut through adjust the settings to slower and more power gradually (speed in intervals of 50mm/m and power by 5%) until it cuts through. If you have additional questions let me know - Steve@WilmerWoodWorks.com
With the end of the year would you still recommend the 12w falcon 2 from creality? Its got a pretty good sale right now hoping to start my own small business
This is a great question and I wish it was just as simple as yes or no. Unfortunately the answer is - it depends. This unit is a great laser for "Hobby" use and yes you can use if for a small business but how "small". If you want send me an email (Steve@WilmerWoodWorks.com) and I'll layout all the points to consider (it's just too much for a comment reply) I'll also try to put together a blog post on my website that covers all of my thoughts. - GREAT Question and thanks for asking it!
What paint markers are those
Amazon - amzn.to/3ZSxSUM
Wow! I always wondered how they were made! 🥰 it would be amazing to learn how to make them, but unfortunately I don t have all the tools. I might research and someday, try making one. ❤ Thank you for sharing
Thank you for your kind words! I'm thrilled to share my process, and I hope you find the right tools or methods to try making one yourself in the future!
Great video bro, thanks for sharing the wisdom - check your emails btw. 👊
Got it! Thanks again.
Tha k you for sharing! 🥰 what are the requirements for Amazon affiliate??
@@LouisaSamayoajerez The process to join Amazon Affiliates is straightforward. First, you’ll need an Amazon account: amzn.to/3ZD0iAy . Next, fill out the application to become an "Associate." This gives you access to create trackable links for products listed on Amazon. To qualify, you must: Be at least 18 years old. Provide your Social Security number during the application process. Optionally, you can link a bank account for monthly direct deposits. Once approved, you’ll need to generate a sale (someone clicks your affiliate link and purchases an item) within six months of signing up to keep your account active. After that, you can add your affiliate links to your social media posts or UA-cam video descriptions and start earning. Keep in mind that joining the "Influencer Program" requires meeting additional criteria and is a bit more challenging.
That's a good tip having an intricate design on the back of the ornament. I'll adopt it too. Thanks
Glad to help! It really helps to add that extra something!
What pens are you using
Acrylic Paint pens from Amazon - amzn.to/3VwvCjA
Hola una consulta, que programa usas y que potencia y velocidad le das para cortar una mdf de 3mm por favor
I haven't cut mdf but for the plywood I use 250mm/m and 100% power
I really like this design. Good idea I never have cut cardboard. Always afraid it was going to catch on fire. What settings and speed do you use thanks. Newbie
I usually cut my cardboard at the same power as wood but just faster speed. What is the power of your laser?
@wilmerwoodworks 5.5
@@raywatts3595 The lasers I have worked with are 10w or 12w so for a 5.5w I would try maybe 500mm/m and 100% power see how that works on a simple small square and maybe adjust the speed up or down from there.
@@wilmerwoodworks Thanks
Thank you for this great video! Very helpful!!
Thanks, glad you found it helpful!
Awesome video! Thank you
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Very nice demo. You took the mystery out of it! By the way, take up woodturning and you’ll buy superglue (CA glue) by gallon.
I have done some woodturning in the past but have been thinking about trying it again great tip I'll have to remember it! 👍
WooPay is not available in your region.🙄
I love your designs!
Thank you! I'm glad you liked them! CONGRATULATIONS ON HITTING 8K! I've been watching your videos keep up the great work. I still don't like the thought of paint but decided I can deal with the convenience of paint pens.
Great video, thanks for sharing your skill set. I just finished two of the snowflakes one on 10w and the other on 20w, they both came out the 10w had some light burn marks so thats on me. I need to thank you for letting us have this file for the holidays. What do I need to adjust so I don't get those light burn marks? Have a great Holiday season.
Are the burn marks on the top or bottom? If on the Top check the filter on your air assist. if on the bottom are you using a honeycomb bed?
Great review me ole mucker! Looks like a decent bit of kit that! You seem to have mastered the intricacies to getting the most out of it! The shout out is much appreciated too! 👊
😂Had to look up what a mucker was because it doesn't sound good. LOL! Keep up your great content!
@@wilmerwoodworks haha me ole mucker is an old cockney term for mate, haha, comes from bricklaying
This is a great project, will dl it and try it out and put your logo on the back. mahalo
Sounds great! Don't forget to send me a photo! Steve@WilmerWoodWorks.com
Thanks Steve for the file, I was able to cut it out just fine. you have a great skill set.
Glad it helped
Steve what grand name are your marker set and can you post the link please.
I updated the video description. Here is the link: Paint pens - amzn.to/3ZuHaFd
@@wilmerwoodworks Thank you.
Great tutorial. Easy to follow. Definitely learned some great techniques.
Thank you so much for the kind words! It means a lot to know that you learned some valuable techniques from the tutorial.
I am trying to follow your directions. I chose reindeer instead of snowflake. Everything works fine until I try to Boolean the second shape. The Boolean option is grayed out. What am I doing wrong?
Sorry it took me so long to get back to you about this. Did you resolve the issue here? When you select the shape do you only have 2 shapes selected? Let me know if you still need help with this.
This is what I'm looking for. I like it .Ty :)
You're welcome 😊Thanks for watching!
I have 3 lasers, one of them is an AlgoLaser. The Quality of the AlgoLaser is AMAZING! The build quality is excellent and the metal has a great feel to it - I guess it's whatever finish they used. The gantry action is very smooth. It came with built-in air assist, and I've been using my airbrush compressor with it, but it struggles to keep up, so I'm going to start using my larger compressor. Of course (without question), I use LightBurn with it. I've contacted their company, and they've been helpful with any questions I had. My other diode laser, which I won't name, works okay, but I've had to rig my own air assist, and I've contacted their company twice, and got no response at all. I last wrote and asked if they were going out of business, because they don't even have any lasers on their website, now. Anyhow, I highly recommend AlgoLaser. You'll great a great machine, without the crazy overpricing of a laser that's very popular on UA-cam - actually there are two that are popular but WAY overpriced.
Thanks for sharing your experience! It's great to hear that you've been impressed with the AlgoLaser's build quality and performance. The built-in air assist is such a nice feature, and switching to a larger compressor sounds like a smart move to get the most out of it. I completely agree that good customer support makes a huge difference, and it’s reassuring to know AlgoLaser has been responsive to your questions. The value they offer without the high price tag is definitely a standout. I appreciate you taking the time to recommend them-it’s always helpful to hear firsthand insights from someone who’s put their lasers to work!
do you have the file for this wonderfull heart ?
This isn’t one of my designs I found it online on a free website when I first got the machine before I knew how to make designs myself. You can find it on this site: free-dxf.com/design-love-floral-hearts-sign/free-download-dxf-cdr-ai-svg/844jm
Awesome video! Thank you for it! Could never seem to find help or advice for one my grandpa passed down to me.
I'm glad it helped! I couldn't find info or advice on this either, I'm sure I'll have more videos featuring it because I want to make some accessories for it. Like a custom router insert.
It looks great. The stacking of the little ornaments give a wonderful 3D effect, which makes it stand out really nicely.
Thanks so much! 😊
Awesome! I love the idea!
Thank you! Cheers!
Hi. I'm new to laser. I thought line was for cutting and fill was for engraving in Lightburn. However you used line to engrave the boat background. You had the same speed and power for the cut and engraving the background.????
😮🎉❤
I know right! 🎆 I just discovered paint pens. It's PAINT in a PEN! crazy. Now I have to start thinking about my next design.
Awesome! I did something similar for my craft show!!! ❤😊 thank you for mentioning your pricing … I was on the fence about what to charge. Good luck at your show!!!
Great minds think alike! I will make a monetization update video early next month to talk about the two shows and my pricing in depth along with how I'm managing on YT & Affiliate commissions for anyone interested.
