      It's insane that this video popped up. I was literally making a decorative box minutes before, and came to the realization that using my 45° bit on my router table could be the solution! Then I saw your video. But I'm pushing it at 5/8 in. material. What size is the bit you were using, and did you have 3/4 in. boards there?

    First off, your music choice is top-fucking-notch, mon ami. Second, your little philosophical diatribes and conversational perambulations around life, craft, emotion, dendrology, art, and our relationship with art, etc... are a solid third of what makes your videos so great, followed by your actual woodworking and a list of items from there. Keep doing you, brother. It's always a treat.

    I did something similar. My mom needed a simple box to hold seed packets and I needed to divide it into two sections for the small packs and big packs. I wanted to practice hand cut dovetails and did that. Decided to mortise and tenon the divider in. I cut the mortise on the wrong side of the line so the big packets no longer fit and now they fit in diagonally just like your magazines 😂

    The FIRST woodworking project I ever made was a bookcase for my National Geographic subscription. I precisely made the shelves to the exact height of the magazines (precision!!) and as soon as it was done I realized that they needed... at least 1/16", but probably 1/2" more space to actually FIT on the shelves. My woodworking has been a lifetime of those lessons.

Unfortunately I didn't measure the height of paperback books. They did not fit. The teacher recommended that I should not enter the competition. Oh well! BTW I feel it was a grave mistake on the education system to remove shop classes from schools.

      Interesting. I have commented on several YT people's lack of router respect- usually a few times a week. Sorry to hear the odds are catching up with them. Old enough (40+ in this industry) to remember a router being just in the very large shops- a luxury. I have more work holders on my router gear than all other tools combined. Although my biggest shaper does has a toilet paper roll on the side. Pushing the ON button does make people tend to crap themselves. Stay safe- trust nothing.

    I've found that my 'subbed/bell' list in YT only tends to retain those who understand the algorithm, adhere to length guidelines, etc etc, and then give all of that a casual middle finger and do what is necessary to convey the story. You're one of those, and don't change.
    I feel I speak of all of us in woodworking when I say that the non-fitting magazines and saw solution got a laugh, but then a moment of "ahhh, yes, I remember that with such affection," feelings. Just about wasted a mouthful of coffee on that, dude.
    Last - I'll second the shout out to Mrs. Sawyer for what she does... I'm a former Army guy trained to hand out 'Go To Hell, Literally' cards to our enemies without raising my heart rate, but her job... I.Could.Not.Do.That. Respect.

    Awesome video. But to clarify the French "Mise En Place" it is a cooking term that means you prepare all your ingredients to be ready ahead of time. for example you already have the herbs and seasonings measured and in little bowls to be ready to throw into the recipe when its ready etc. It's the preparation before cooking. To fit this into the context of woodworking - maybe it could look like setting out all your layout tools and hand tools before cutting dovetails (as an example)

I've been running through how to do all this on a Table saw or my Radial arm saw, and just haven't been happy with how it plays out in my head. It never occurred to me to use the router, and I think this will make things much, much easier. Thanks for the inspiration!

    Another entertaining video, and yes... you got me.
    Props to your wife as well. I work at Randall's and see how crazy things can get in the PICU. Much respect to both of you.

      Oh no kidding?! That’s wild. Guess you guys are part of the same now that OHSU acquired legacy. Will be interesting to see how that plays out for the employees

      @@SawyerDesign that it will. I was told that it is “mostly financial”, and that there is little crossover expected, but that remains to be seen.

    Where can I get the plan you used to remove the glue?

    Baby wipes aren’t just for glue clean up, that made me laugh(hope it didn’t hurt you though). Great video as always

    Kudos to your wife! My daughter in law works in the NICU also. It is a special person to take care of the most vulnerable among us. Can you tell me the white glue you used on this project and why? More open time than yellow glue or better performance? Thank you for your response.

      That’s awesome. NICU/PICU are a special breed for sure. I just used Titebond 1 on this. For miters, it’s a bit more viscous and less prone to soaking into the end grain as much which can starve the join of glue.
