Wood is a beautiful combination! Can you tell me what it is or where to find it? I am a novice but always eager to learn. Woodworking has saved my life and has become a stress reliever after my husband passed away at 49 years old. (Taking lemons and making lemonade) Thank you so much! Love LOVE the videos!

The frame is made from Walnut and Curly Maple. We recently opened a store near you! It is in Cary, NC. You can find everything you need there, and we offer classes as well. 💙
Why does the jig require a 1/2" bit? As I see the video the bit size has nothing to do with the function of the jig /holder. So a 12mm, 8mm or 1 inch bit would work the same.
That is our recommended size for optimal performance. A smaller bit may chatter & flex, while also requiring many passes. A larger bit may make the workpiece chatter and leave a poor, inaccurate finish.
OK, fair argument. But - the narrative could have been "you need a bit of a reasonable size, not too small, not too large". ½" is 12.7 mm, so a 12mm spiral upcut would make no difference at all. Instead, you tell it as if ONLY an imperial size bit of EXACTLY ½" would work, since needed for this specific application.
He is using an up-spiral bit to help clear chips, and to draw the workpiece down tight to the jig. I’ve only seen that style in 1/2 inch. If you can find an up-spiral in diameters other than 1/2 inch, they would work the same way.
I like it, that's a nice jig. A bit pricey. I can see $50 maybe $60, with it on sale at $40, but $100. Out of my price range. I'm retired on a fixed income. It is a great idea though and looks cool.
If it were made and sold by the red bird it would be 3x the price. This is a very affordable jig that appears to be made of uncompromising materials. Perhaps you need to sell some of your own products to help you afford more tools to make more products that can be sold for more money. 🤣 Woodworking is a slippery slope! 😂😂😂
That is definitely very cool and seems way easier than getting a domino on those miters.

Would be nice to be able to micro adjust the piece into the cut with stops for repetative cuts.
Thanks for the feedback, we'll pass it along to our product development team.
