Ⓕ Perfect Dados Without A Dado Blade - No Measuring & No Math (ep82)
Вставка

- Website article for blades I use - nickferry.com/2017/11/perfect...
Getting dados & grooves perfectly sized to your project material can sometimes be a difficult task. Not when you use this method. When it comes to woodworking joinery, using your material to gauge your cuts can often be better than measuring. In this video I show how to get perfectly sized dado cuts without even having to have a dado blade set. Aside from placing where you want your dado, you don't even need to measure or make a jig. I am currently using this technique to make some dados for a couple benches I am making but the process itself can be applied to many woodworking projects. This is something I learned almost 20 years ago in woodworking class and made me a much better woodworker. Making things from wood and shop class used to be all I could think about in school. But enough on that, I'm not even sure anyone reads these things. As always, thanks for taking the time out of your day to have a look at what I have going in my shop!

Nick I have been doing wood working for longer than you have been alive and you just taught this old dog a new trick! Thanks
That’s awesome - might not always be huge things but i try to pick up new stuff every day
The drill bit part was the best thing I have seen on woodworking in a long time! One of those "DUH" moments when it hits you that you could have been doing that for a long time and just never thought about it! Will never be forgotten for sure! Thanks!
No problem - glad you liked it
Thanks Nick!! This is exactly what I needed for some shelving I was working on. Dead simple. Subscribed!
I love your videos Nick and they are some of the only videos I find myself saving and watching again. I just used the technique you did with Jay for organizing drawers and it made a huge difference in organization. Thanks and keep up the good work!
thanks for the support - glad to hear you like them!
Good process, Nick - and timely! I purchased your sled plan last month and am nearly complete with it (blade guard & attachments next). I was thinking about dadoes last night and here you are with the answer. You're a full service UA-camr! :)
I try - and I have another coming up pretty quick for the sled that is pretty cool too - stay tuned!
I love "common sense" measuring techniques like this. I second guess my measurements a lot when things have to be super accurate. I will definitely be using this in the future. Good job Nick!
Awesome - glad you could pick up an idea or two
Good tip. I appreciate the superior production quality too. Lights/camera sound.
Thanks Nick! I’ve been watching quite a few videos on miter sleds and dados, but I really like yours a lot and I’m gonna be making one soon. Keep up the great learning videos man, you’re awesome!
Thanks Wesley - you'll have to let me know how it turns out!
Awesome, Nick. Timely too, since I am about make a crap-ton of these types of dadoes. Well done, sir. I applaud you, I salute you, and I give your regards to Broadway!
thank you Tim - it is now time for my curtain call!
I also have some blade recommendations in the article here - nickferry.com/2017/11/perfect-dados-without-a-dado-blade-no-measuring-no-math-ep82/
So, what you're saying is, size matters. Especially if you want a friction fit.
yup yup
Would you still use a full kerf blade on a job site saw just for dados?
R&D Machinist 50 years, I am impressed with your nice work. Excellent training video.
thanks much - that means a lot!
Great Video, No ridiculous Music!! clear common sense, clarity and not full of crap!! excellent man...one small comment, as a now retired engineer who is a keen woodworker, when you refer to friction fit, in engineering terms best described as at "Transition fit" ..no impedance as friction implies.. In summary, thanks again. loved the video and will be using this method. Top marks.
thanks much - good to know on the transition fit - learn something everyday
Just watched another guy make a kerf marker and used a little screw stop for blade thickness. We amateurs tend to forget about blade thickness when getting precise measurements. Great little tip and video. Thanks for sharing.
No problem - glad you found it useful
OH my gosh I'm so late to the game but dayum! I LOVE this video to bits! For someone who is just starting her journey into wood working after growing up watching her dad build the most beautiful furniture, and crown molding, I am stoked to know I can still make a dado even without dado blades! Thank you so much for a wonderfully helpful video! #newsub
Thank you - good luck with your woodworking and I’m glad to have you here
this is my favorite solution to this of all the bazillion videos I've watched!
Nice - A bazillion ways to skin a cat and I’m glad you found the one that works for you
.
"I have these drills but I have no bits!" hahahah that was hilarious. Thanks for the video
Awsome! Its the best technique about dados I have ever seen! Grats!
thanks much - glad you liked it!
I saved this video for reference. Thank you Nick.
Well done Nick! As you say, there is nothing that can take the place of measuring than the material itself! You really can't go wrong that way. Cheers!
thanks Kevin!
Nice to see you on you tube more regularly. I always like your videos. Thank you
Much appreciated Greg - I hope to be at it a bit more regularly now
"I have these drills, but I have not bits!" - That's. Just. Awesome.
haha thanks!
I feel very seen.
Wow thanks Nick some times the simplest things can make such a big difference. Thanks
thank you Charles!
Good job on the video - very clear presentation!
Awesome, thanks for sharing man!
Nice idea for single dado's Nick. Good to see you back into it!!
thanks Dave!
"But enough on that, I'm not even sure anyone reads these things." I do and did read your lengthy paragraph. Thanks for the explanation and demonstration. I built a sled for my compact jobsite table saw so that I could make drawers for the "quarter quarter quarter drawer method" but was unsure how I could make accurate dados and rabbets without a dado blade. My saw won't accept one. Excellent job for making a meaningful video that I could understand!
Haha - you were probably the first person that ever commented that congratulations - i’m glad you found this helpful I don’t always use it but it definitely helps out at least knowing that it’s something at your disposal
Thank you; this has been driving me crazy.
wonderful i love to learn cool techniques like this.
Such a simple yet incredibly useful tip.
thanks Steve - I think so too
Always a treat to see your videos!
Much appreciated man!
Awesome tips. Thank you 👍👍👍
Nice video! Thank you. God Bless from The Netherlands.
Thank you kindly
EXCELLENT! This is very clever and the easiest method I’ve seen yet.
Do you have a video on making bridle joints?
Thank you - not specifically but check out my tenon jig video - it makes bridle joints super easy - nickferry.com/2016/05/how-to-make-a-spline-and-tenon-jig-ep67/
I've done this technique. Thanx for the information. It has been years since i did this. Only once when the city shop I worked in lost the daddo stack they had, so I improvised. It worked great. Actually I have a daddo stack I don't use as I'm a little intimidated by it. Thanx again!
My pleasure, thanks for taking the time to check it out
Wow! I can use this technique to make finger joints. Thanks.
Very awesome thank u so much keep them coming
Thanks. You saved me $40-$90. This is especially useful for my cubby project where I'm making multiple long (but shallow) cuts.
awesome - glad I could help save you some coin
Brilliant! Loved the video.
Glad you dug it and took the time to watch it
Another great tip, thanks Nick. I will use it building a book shelf with my son this weekend,
very cool - glad I could help - father son projects are always good
Thanks for the info Nick! 👍👊
thanks as always Fred!!
You’re a nut Nick!!! I love that you don’t take yourself too seriously
thanks man - life is too short for any of that
This is so great!
Always nice to learn new tricks, thanks!
You're more than welcome man
Thank You, well done and planned with little effort. appreciate the pointer.
Thanks
Thanks. Great little trick. 👍
What a great method! I'm using it next time i'm running datos. Thanks for sharing
Great - thanks for watching
Simple and easy. Thank you.
Thanks
Great tip, Nick!! Thanks for sharing : )
no problem - thanks for watching!
Great method. Thanks. Well produced video.
thanks, glad you liked it
now this is one of those true craftsman tricks
Something to mess around with in the shop - I’m surprised many times what can be used to measure in the shop
Yay nice to see you again.
Always fun Dan!!! Thanks
Thanks.just what I was looking for
Awesome
Very awesome nick.
thank you Dan!
Thank you for this Nick. I am going to need this tip in the next few weeks!!! and I even have bits!!!!
thanks, if you have the BITS you're halfway there!
LOL...
So good and easy. Man...there are too many guys showing their tech. For what like u said....calculate, setup, explaining, math, all kind stuff danm......thks bro
My pleasure - glad you got something from it
Nick i liked your detailed well explained video. Learn a new trick using drill bit for spacers. Thanks keep up a good work.
Thanks, glad you liked it
Fine instructions, very clear all. I will try to do as well as You!
Thanks man
Well Explained young man,Thank You.
Thank you
Thanks, technique worked great. Was going to buy dado set and then make dado throat plate, but no need to now.
You still should. This one type of cut has its uses, but a good dado set makes your life easy when doing true dado work. This trick won’t help with anything other than edge cuts.
Thanks so much for sharing this cool trick or hack which ever way you want to say. Dado’s are a little intimidating to me as of now. I’m a newbie as far as being a woodworker and 65 year old widow. I have a small shop and I’m in it everyday working on projects or cleaning up sawdust!!!! Don’t ya just love sawdust. I’m working on some sort of dust collection slowly but surely. I enjoyed watching your videos Nick and it’s nice to meet you.
Thank you - glad you could pick up a few ideas - I agree, dados can be tricky starting out - I was just hoping this would point people in the right direction
Great information, enjoyed watching
thank you Russ!
Great idea! Thanks for sharing.
thanks for checking it out!
Super cool bro! Cheers, Chris.
thanks Chris!
Great video Nick!
thanks much dude!
OMG!!! The "I have these drills but I have no bits"... I don't now why I laughed so hard. But that was so hilarious. Great information in the video too. So glad you are back.
Haha, thanks Angie - had to put that part in
Watching some of your videos again today. Still laughed way too much at that part. I love it!
awesome tip, thanks! subscribed!
Nice - glad to have you here!
Really helpful! Thanks!
You make great videos Nick, you should make more!
thank you - now to find the time
Thanks for the tip. Very handy indeed.
thanks for checking it out David!
Hey, drill bits is a brilliant hack. Thanks for the idea!
Great content Nick!
Much appreciated Phil!
Great way to cut a dado Nick, I’m going to try that!!
Awesome - let me know if you like it
Thanks Nick! Thanks for sharing.
No problem - thanks for watching!!
You’re great! Great idea!
So simple and smart!
+Jonathan B thanks man!
Excellent method. Thanks!
thanks for checking it out!
Fantastic tip!! Thank you.
thanks for checking it out!
Very cool trick, thanks
My pleasure
Great tip and well explained. The bit about no bits made me laugh. Thanks :) ॐ
thanks, then my mission was accomplished!!
Nick, I really like your videos. I need to build a new sled (building kitchen cabinets and mine will not accommodate the 31" I needed for base cabinets. Great technique. I always learn something from you. Heading to Waukesha for Thanksgiving. I grew up there and maybe some time when I visit, I can take some time and visit your shop and shake your hand. Keep up the good work.
very cool - kitchen cabinets are a big undertaking - if you end up in the area let me know and maybe we can grab a beer
Love it I'm trying this!!!!!!!
Let me know how it goes ✌🏼
@@NickFerry as soon as work slows down and I can wood work again I promise I will lol
Great tip Nick! Thanks for saving me the cost and time of a dado set!
Thanks - don't get me wrong, I love my dado blade, but this works pretty well in some cases
That's pretty clever. Dado stacks cannot be purchased here in Europe, so this is really a helpful technique and should be quicker than using the router table. I don't know the reason they are illegal here, but...there it is.
Nice technique Nick!
Thanks buddy!!
Great Tip Nick. Very well explained. I'm looking at making some stools based on my Grandpa's (Long gone now) design and this will help. Good to see you back. The lives have been crazy fun
thanks Gary - so cool you said that - I am using this to make benches I designed (shaker-based) almost 20 years ago
Nick Ferry Maybe I can teach little Blakey how to do this someday when he get's a bit bigger. Have been working my older grandkids when they visits. Love it and wish they lived closer. I still remember working my Grandpa's. Fun to pass it down.
absolutely - it's those moments and the feeling of passing on valuable things that makes it all fun
Thank you Very helpful
Good one!
I like the way you teach.
Thank you
Nice job Nick
Thanks buddy!
A (not so) Ferry Quick Tip! Love it.
thanks Josh - maybe that'll be a thing lol
This is really nice and practical, without having to put dado blades! Can I make a series of finger joints using this technique? Hope you can create a video on how. I'm a newbie and am looking for simple way to create finger joints. Thanks!
Flys! I think I saw your mind driving by on 41! Great vid, thanks.
Flies are the worst! My mind is everywhere
Thank you, very useful!!
thanks
Great shop tip Nick!!! This will come in handy..... Now I need to get some drill bits. Ha ! Just Joking.... Good one Bro!!
haha - the missing ingredient!!!
WOW...I'm gonna be binge watching your channel. I can't believe I haven't found your channel before. 🤔
Very cool - take a look around and let me know if you have any questions - glad to have ya here!
@@NickFerry Thank you. You tube is where I learned Woodworking and so far you have had tips I never thought of. I'm really new so I may ask so questions. If you're ever on FB check out J316 Fine Woodworking and let me know what ya think.
Thankyou from all us beginners who never have a dado blade.
Thanks for saying so and noticing - granted I love using my dado set but I know not everywhere people can have them and I like showing alternatives from time to time
Great video buddy
Gotta try that out
thanks!
That's great!!!
Thanks
Thanks brother, this is an awesome trick. Will it work doing long dados? If you have the space to lay the material down that is.
Excellent!
Sweet! Thank you!
no problem
