Man I wish I could post a pic here of the cabinet bases and built in shelves (backlit w/ WLED) I built using your videos. You help us normal DIY people build amazing things, please keep up the great work!!
I'm really interested in seeing your work!!!
Hi from an aging Kiwi, who has been a secondary workshop based, wood and metal teacher for around three decades. Who now, for a number of years, has had a really tough boss, who doesn't pay me. When I get time which is rarely. I repair and build acoustic musical instruments. . The world is constantly changing. I found this U tube, extremely valuable. I Learn'd heaps, thankyou so much.
As a CNC freak, using templates cut on the CNC with a real router can actually be faster than using a CNC to cut the entire piece. This is especially true when there are inner pockets involved, which take forever on the CNC. With a nice fat router base and a beefy bit, a plunge router will fly through those.
Often while cutting somthing out on the cnc I think to myself " I could have had this done by now if I used a template" yet still no templates have been made haha
Yep. Can confirm. I do my templates on the CNC for accuracy and then use a bandsaw and router to do the actually pieces. Comes out cleaner (don’t need to worry about tear out or blow out) and it’s quicker.
@@austinhall485 luckily with the CNC you could work on other parts of the project while the robot does its thing. That's what really makes the CNC faster, even though it may seem slower for the CNC to actually cut the piece.
@sparrowhawk009 yes and no. Not all projects allow you to just walk away without risk of somthing going wrong. Many times in the middle of a run I've lost suction on my material and comes loose, if I walked away and did somthing else it could have been very problematic. Usually when running 600ipm I'm not just walking away and hoping for the best lol
@@austinhall485 yes, you still need to keep an eye on it, but you can still work on another part of the project or clean up the shop a bit while the CNC is doing it's thing. You don't have to stare at it the entire time. Though I normally find those videos fascinating 😀
Jason!!! Jason!!! Jason!!! Great tutorial!!! It's so nice to have all that info in one place. And, your style of presentation provides plenty of memory anchors. Way to go!!! 👏👏👏
Comprehensive and entertaining. I watch a ton of UA-cam and this may be the best, most concise and complete info on template routing and routing in general. We'll done Mr. Peech
Dude!!!… you are freakin hilarious!! You make these videos so entertaining the whole time you are educating the masses. I had a drafting teacher in high school that had a fantastic sense of humour that made learning so fun. You are the same.
Two simpler ways to perhaps think about preventing a climb cut: 1) remember to push against the direction of rotation of the router bit. 2) If you have your template to the right of the router bit (i.e. you are routing on the left side of your piece) you are routing on the wrong side. My 1 1/4 cents (due to inflation). Love your channel Jason.
2:36 the video literally jumped to an ad right after “the end” popped up almost like it really was the end of the video. It got me for a second.
Jason, the best explanation of use of templates on the router that I have seen. I now have the confidence to use straight bits in my router table on very small pieces end grain while feeding by hand! They call me twoey.Just kidding, much better understanding for me as a new woodworker to get these things accomplished. Going to start on a jewelry box for my wife the has rounded drawer fronts. Now I know how to do it. Thanks and please keep providing these videos.
That's the first time I've heard a really clear explanation of template router cutting. Thanks! I learned a lot!
As someone who just had surgery due to a woodworking injury, I really appreciate the focus on safety! Thank you!
Can I ask what happened? I'm a firm believer in the power of learning from other's mistakes.
@@toddsalmon6541 it was a table saw accident where I was uncomfortable and went to turn off the saw and a piece slid and by instinct I went to grab it and nicked the end of my fingers. I’ll still have full functionality but they will look a little weird 😊
@@allycami ouch! That dang reflex to grab stuff that is falling. I'm glad it wasn't worse.
There was so much information in the video, I have watch it again!!
Starting my Saturday with a little Bourbon…? Ok!
This was a video I didn't know I needed until I watched it. As usual, very thorough and entertaining at the same time. Thanks for putting it out there for us!
Thumbs up for the sound effects at 32:00! Seriously, great tips. I recently purchased a router table and you've given me some great ideas.
Some really good advice, A few years ago, I was asked to build a social club bar for a local basketball team. The bar took up an area of approximately 6m x 2m with a sloped front that turned 90° . I designed it like an aeroplane wing, lots of ribs to form the shape, and then clad with laminated mdf followed by timber veneer . I made a pattern for the ribs out of 16mm mdf with an attached bracket to hold it in the vice, the hold down mechanism was an old fridge compressor used as a vacuum pump to a small hole in the centre of the pattern, a thin rubber seal was used around the edge of the pattern and one after another the blanks were seated and routed, the quickest pattern cutting ever.
As usual, I learned something appreciate it compression bit. It is making outdoor furniture with templates. I definitely needed that piece of knowledge. Thank you Bourbon Moth
Jason, thanks for sharing your knowledge and helping keep us safer. I knew 90% of this, but a reminder is always helpful. Especially when it's so well presented and interesting. 👍
I too knew a lot of this material. One bit of suggestion for safety. The circular plate around the cutter is a "No finger zone". Keep the fingers outside that zone. Seems to work.
Hi Jason, have enjoyed your channel for years now. That was a neat overview of template routing, but I beg to differ about end grain routing - well at least slightly:
Depending on the shape of the pattern and what's actually necessary, sometimes I start on the end-grain and go back to do the long grain afterwards. This works especially well doing decorative mouldings (with a guide bearing).
I often make hardwood mounting plates for things like water taps (known as "bib" taps here in the UK), and cabin hooks, and sometimes display plinths. These will often be a qudrant moulding with quirks though, so there will be some uncut material left to support the cutter.
That way, any small tearout gets milled away on the long grain passes. But you're spot-on about not having blunt cutters for end grain!
Also, you don't _have_ to do your cross-grain stuff with a template cutter - you used the mitre saw in the early part of the video, making your template, and that's by far a better approach if it's a simple squared-off profile .
If it takes one quick extra step to get the corner crisp (router table then table saw or mitre saw), it's probably worth it.
You will be partially happy to hear we don’t call “water taps”, actually I’ve heard that or similar to name what we do call a “hose bib”. All that assume you are referring to the outside connection, if you were meaning interior then yes, we do commonly refer to them as water taps and the water we get out of them is called “tap water”
For the direction, I just marked an arrow with sharpie on my table to show the rotation and the direction in which to feed material.
The sound effects are absolutely epic
Jason - you have one of the best channels on UA-cam. Every week I not only learn several new things, tips and techniques but also am entertained. Education with humor - the best. However, I have to say this week's video went even further. When your wife casually interrupted your filming and the resultant look on your face is priceless.... Very funny and, honestly, appropo for you. Keep'm coming.
Agreed
Thank you. I now thoroughly understand how a compression bit works, and the reason to use one.
Carpet tape: 'round heah, comes in "light", "medium", and "heavy". If you use "heavy" on wood, you're pulling splinters off the surface of your workpiece when you pull it off. If you can pull it off at all. "Light" works just fine, and you really only need tabs of it, not continuous lines.
16:30 this actually is a very interesting bit. Not the router bit, the bit in the video, about upcuts and downcuts. And the bit about the special hugs leading to kids - very useful too, Jason!
Thank you for this great video! Probably my favorite yet as far as helpful content. I find the doubter super intimidating and you addressed so many of my question about bits. So great. Keep them coming and thanks again for all the helpful content!
Your best video for ages ... thanks Jason.
Great video Jason! You got the level spot on, not too dumbed down or too technical, so it's useful for beginners and more experienced wood workers. Thanks for sharing 🙂😎🥃
Dude, your fun to watch, thanks for the tips.
Thank you for sharing these tips on router templating. Also it's cool seeing your wife in more of your videos.
This was really helpful, thanks!
Thank you very helpful to us new guys.
Love all your videos and the knowledge that you put out and your quarky dad jokes
Excellent tutorial.
Love to see you so excited! I am working towards the same dream. Good luck! Go for it!
Just got my router and table today! Let’s Go!
Thanks for the video. Very entertaining.
Wow! Nothing left you didn't mention 👏👏👏 thanks
Thank you, I bought a straight bit and I struggled following a template and I thought I was doing something wrong and I stopped. Seeing you struggle the same way makes it clear I just bought the wrong tool. I will try again with a compression bit.
Stunning sounds effects !
Thanks. That is one of the best instructional videos on using the router!
Thank you so much for the best video I have ever seen on routers. Really informative and fun. Love watching thanks Michael in the uk. 🇬🇧😊
Well done, great reminders, especially the climb cut. It is fun but very dangerous if done wrong.
Thanks Mr. Moth. You covered sooo much in that 👍🏼
Great Info. Thank you!
Excellent explainer on template routing. My only suggestion would be lose the background music while you are talking. It makes it harder to hear what you are saying.
Great vid, very informative with whacky humor - perfect!
Jason, great educational video. Thanks for putting this out for us guys that are still learning this stuff. lol
Most excellent video. I have been making sawdust for 35 years now and have never seen this much authentic information in so little time.
I have been using carpet tape for over thirty years now, and doubt I'll ever even try the CA/blue tape trick. I trust carpet tape. Don't necessarily trust blue tape. I'm good with CA...just kinda sketchy with the adhesive power of a tape that is designed to be removed easily. A roll of carpet tape is a couple bucks more that blue tape, and I can spend a couple bucks more to save my digits.
Another great video, Jason!! Thank you.
Great lesson! Glad to know what that thing-a-bob is for!
Incredibly helpful!!
Many thanks for sharing!
If using a straight bit leave a little extra at the corners of the stock when cutting at the band saw. Router the end grain first, so the tear out happens on the excess waste. When you router the long grain the tear out will be trimmed off.
Thank you, Jason! My Dad turned me on to making templates so many years ago, and I end up using them for almost everything!! if anything, you should STRESS how important it is to have very smooth clean edges, since (as you mentioned) all imperfections will transfer to the target piece!! My biggest question is, since I'm NOT a professional woodworker, will it substantially up my game if i make the sound effects like you do? THANKS!!!
10:04 I just perked up moments before you said what just happened.. lol
Excellent teaching I made all those mistakes and will be saving this to review again!
Outstanding!
The first templates I made, I just sent the SVG file to SendCutSend and had them cut it out on 1/4 MDF on their laser and send it to me for like $25. Not the cheapest option, but the results were great. Once I had a jigsaw and a nice belt sander, I was able to print out templates myself, rough cut with the jigsaw, and shape with the sander. It's a little more effort, but it's also a bit quicker and definitely cheaper!
I was lucky that I was introduced to the concept of climb cuts when I was using a belt sander in the wrong direction. The cost of my education was a couple of badly skinned knuckles, rather than the lost fingers a router would have cost me.
I like watching videos where I made all those same mistakes like the POS trim router bit that jumps across end grain. And then loaded up on bits and bits router bits last year. Lol
I just buy the 2" golf tape, and use a wheel marker to cut a few desired widths on the roll. Usually 1", 5/8", 3/8". It only lasts a few turns but you can just line it up in the groove and cut again.
Extremely helpful. Thank you!
I think this is your best "how to" video yet.
Excellent training, as always
So much better dust collection on a table, dad hooked it up this Christmas!
That back wall gives me clamp envy lol
My first reaction also ha! Just a few more larger ones right, then turns into oh I need a few ratchet clamps, oh and some more high capacity f clamps oh and a few more corner clamps oh and......
@@johnnycorn7225 I had to get a towel I was drooling so bad lol
@@lechatbotte. ikr the shop building process never ends now I'm working overtime this week so I can get an upgraded bandsaw for resawing purposes. Good tools are just worth it in the long run!!
Only one big complaint about your video. A coping saw clearly makes a pew, pew pew sound not whatever you were making. Thanks so much for the video. Loved it and learned a lot.
Génial j'adore. J'ai appris des choses intéressantes encore une fois. Vivement samedi prochain pour la prochaine vidéo. ( France )
Great and informative video. One thing caught my eye about your comparison of the compression and straight knife bit. The straight knife bit has a way smaller diameter. May not be a big deal, but still a thing to consider.
Yeah, great help dude, very informative, cheers😉
Great class. If I could take you back in time, I’d make you my shop teacher because I would have listened to you. You’d be the most popular teacher in the school. Lol
Your end grain routing with the straight blade bit was giving me real anxiety : O
Super informative-and entertaining too boot. Thanks bro!
your right hand trick works for router tables too. but its the wood you move in that direction. basically whatever you move, router or wood.
I tried to count how many times you said cut.......too hard. your awesome Jason. thanks for the great content.
Wow.. I actually really enjoyed this..... best yet
Jason my friend you are looking SWOLE 💪🏼 amazing video as always
Great job thanks
Great explanation of the process. Thanx
Great content as always . Thanks Jason
Fantastic video, Jason, with excellent instruction and examples. Keep up the great work! 👾👾👾
Great information.
Super informative
Great video, very informative. Did not know about compression bits, I’ll have to look into it.
Great info, thanks!
Excellent video. Entertaining and learned valuable information. Thank you.
Now I know why I have not had very good luck using a router. All my bits are straight cut bits. They don't work very well as you have demonstrated. I don’t have a router table. I just have a 1/4 " cordless ryobi router. Every time I use it I feel like it just messes up the wood. I will have to invest in some better bits. Thanks for the tips.
Excellent tutorial!
Love the way you explained all that, for once it all made sense to me! Thanks
Thanks - great information on a topic where you can get it wrong so easy.
Good stuff, thanks Jason!
Hey mate, greetings from the UK. Love all your vids, but simply cut from left to right no matter which way your router is orientated and your going the right way 👍
I wish I knew about the compression but years ago. Thank you.
One additional tip is to not be afraid to stop the cut, reposition hands, and continue, for safety or better control of larger pieces, or to adjust for grain. Cant do that with table saw!
Thanks Jason....😊😊
28:44 Jason made it where the compression bit had less to cut out than the straight bit. Of course the compression is better but the straight bit would have cut a lot better if it had the same board as the one he used for the compression bit. He knows what he's doing lol
Just a heads-up, your CA Glue link goes to the Festool Router.
Thanks for keeping it fun…
Jason, i love your channel, i am thinking of building a foosball take for a game room and would love to see how you would take a project like that.
Thanks for the great instruction!
