I think I've already covered most of my bases in the dialogue of this video, but I will update this description if commenters dredge up any relevant points. Seriously, be careful when it comes to the use of any dado set. I'm not saying that you should be afraid; I am telling you to train yourself focus, and above all, to think. This is not one of those "zone-out" projects.
I don't always dado, but when I do, I pay attention.
Stay cognizant, my friends. - Навчання та стиль
I have watched quite a lot of videos showing how to make finger joint boxes... but your video is the first one teaching people how to do it without using a dado blade.. . I love it. I'm going to try that method though I actually have a set of dado blades. Thank you for teaching... .
pocket that was awesome! I love your videos and love your narrative. "problem solved" while dumping everything back in the drawer😂... and you said you never make practical items.
Thank you for making all these videos!!
Absolutely wonderful video. You are the only person that address the blade stacking issue. I have asked myself the same thing many times and could never find an answer. I thought maybe its a weight issue when using 10” table saw blades. All the dato stacks I have ever seen are 8” blades. Oh and you are the 1st person to point out the hard carbide being able to chip. Thanks for the video.
Good job, dude! Really appreciate you actually doing what is said in the description unlike some of the other guys that claim to be budget friendly or use “one tool” and then bust out the whole shop.
EXCELLENT process. Great video. Also, i love the way you dumped you stuff back into the drawer. Keep up the good work. Thank you for s sharing...
Lots of great stuff in this video! I really like the log-cabin style of box joint. It might look great with contrasting woods for decorative projects. Also, you're good at provoking the audience by refusing to do unit conversion, and topping it off with a power strip push-block!
Applied Science That's exactly what it was: a provocation. Don't get me wrong: I would love to live in a world free from Mars orbiter blunders; you should know that I spent most of my university time as a natural science major, and as such, I have no problem with multiple systems of idea expression. I'm not the one who refuses to do unit conversion! The simple fact is that I live in a place that uses imperial, but I present to an audience that is split. For my role, I advocate that a person should be comfortable with using both systems. By the way, I'm slightly flattered to have your interest- I admire your work.
pocket83 I agree completely. If I ever mention a single imperial unit in my videos, I'll get at least five comments which are simply "Please convert to metric" -- as if it's so difficult for viewers to do. I usually mix and match measurement systems in my videos, just as I do in my day job. If I do a video in metric units, I'll receive not a single comment about unit conversion.
I like finding channels on youtube that have the "just right" level of production value. The glossy, commercially-funded channels aren't as nerdy as I like, and the random shaky-cam/unedited channels without decent narration are hard to watch. Finding that great balance is what I like the most, and why I like your channel.
+pocket83 So I take it you live in Liberia, or Burma. Because the US doesn't use Imperial, it uses US Customary System, which predates the Imperial System. Little known fact cherished by the overly anal retentive technical types and other nerds... Love the video, I subscribed and I will watch the other soon. Now, for the "hater" part: the use of rubber is a very bad idea. I deal with fasteners and joints on a daily basis (and have been for close to 20 years), and this has "emergency room" written all over it. I do appreciate your disclaimer, but, rubber creeps under load; you're adding pressure, shear loading, and heat into the equation. You'd be safer with washers/shims... Take it from a guy with 9 3/4 fingers.
Looking forward to more videos from you.
Danimal GB Nylon washers. Won't slip as metal washers. None of the suction cup effect, as the rubber has, nor the compression...Just for entertainment, of course...
Roarn'Leon nylon will creep too. I'd love for someone to do the calculations, but my guess is steel shims would have more than enough friction under a self tightening clamping load to resist slipping. Especially when sized correctly.
This is perhaps the greatest video of all time. Not only is it pretty informative, and humorous....but it's so chalk full of subtle trolling that any woodworker without a sense of humor would completely lose their crap.
Bravo....BRAVO.
This is the first video I ever saw of yours, and I have subbed because of it.
I would love some popcorn right now!
+Paul Avesaath - - - Well Spotted !!!
Nice work with the DIY dado stack. I'd been toying with this idea for a bit, but wasn't sure about a couple of details which you brilliantly addressed here!
Love the push stick
Clever. Thanks for taking the time to demonstrate this so thoroughly.
Thank You So Very Much Sir! I was able to locate sales at big box stores where I got blades as low as $2 each, so, I made up an individual 2 blade, 3 blade, and 4 blade set. They really do stick together, so, I just leave them that way. It cost me under $20 total. Amazon runs those "Add-On" specials and I was also able to pick up blades incredibly cheap at a big box store. Now, I don't have to disassemble the blades and risk the chance of damaging something. They work GREAT at a fraction of the price for a set of manufactured blades.
Beside your techniques showed, I loved your extension push stick!
The i4
OUTSTANDING ! ! ! I have finally seen a video that the host speaks clearly to the subject without using 50 cent words, youknows, and Ums. . The pace of delivery was just right.... Thank you!
Curby
I am a lover of all things that can be done safely, on the cheap, well the inexpensive side of things and/or more simple, less complex or with the least amount of equipment!! So I subbed for sure!!! I appreciated you showing the different ways of doing the various cuts and builds, because I can see being able to still accomplish it, even if a person only had one blade to make it work, because you showed us how to make it happen!!! You're awesome, for entertainment purposes only!!! and yes I found the video ussseful!!! Lol! I got a good chuckle out of how you said that statement, whether intentionally said as you did or not, it was funny...in a good way!!
😊thank you this is one of the best videos ive seen on doing this. I love it.
I like you sense of humor man, keep it up, good vids
I laughed so hard at 8:33 when I saw you pushing the wood through with a Multiplug :) lmao
Lol. Stopped the vid to hit the comments on that!!!
Hi, I watched your video because I'm initiating in Table saw world and you explained it so well how to make joints easily so I'm sure I can achieve.
But I must focus on your t-shiit that is my favorite one of all that I have too.
Keep doing videos like this and you know... Sky is the limit!
Pocket83, your "MacGyvered Dado stack" totally works. I am an intermediate skilled woodworker and know enough to realize how dangerous this endeavor could be. I think it's responsible of you to also include the caveat in your presentation. Knowing that, I was very uneasy trying it out. But I figured if I set it up and then started my machine from a remote distance I could run the blade for a good while to see if it holds up. And guess what?....it works like a charm! The blades, as you described, stick together so well that it's hard to peel them apart when disassembling stack. I only used two blades to test viability of idea. I think I will keep them like this as the setup is a nice "thick kerf" kit, which I find useful. I love how you say: "oh, you are gonna kick yourself"...lol.
Pretty awesome... Simplicity and perfection in one.. Thanks for the options... Jack
at the end when u droped every thing in all messy gave me good chuckle lol. nice vid
I really like this channel! I don't have a workshop to do anything in, but these videos are very entertaining, though they're for informational instructions. What I really don't like see is the hate comments, like come on! This guy is so cool with all the awesome content he produces and the funny descriptions! If you don't like the channel, then ignore it.
thank you! Not only entertaining but very informative! you have to be an engineer! You're simply brilliant! thank you for taking your time to entertain us and Enlighten us with new ideas.
Thanks for this. Always wondered if you could use regular saw blades to make a dado stack and now I know how! Good simple video.
Love love love the whistle ring! My mom has a few from the 1930’s alone with some decoder badges.
This is a perfect display method for them! I’m going to try with precut balsa wood since I don’t have your awesome tools ;)
Thank you for the great ideas!!
Nice summary of your process. I am working on a box joint jig design that I will be releasing soon but so far you have to pay attention too much during cutting, so I have not solved the mindless aspect yet.
Darbin Orvar I think things are far less confusing when you aren't distracted by a camera. I made a terrible mistake while filming this, which I will probably post later in my off-cuts. Oh, but if you are playing around with box joints, try the Cedar closet liner if you can find some. I was very pleased with that ;)
Exact and simple, good job buddy!
If that is you,you're very pretty.
This Pocket 83 jack ass does't know his ass from a hole in the ground
3 of the same blade does almost 3/16"
Plus there is cheaper blades than those POS Diablos wants to advertise.
@ Darbin that would require a toothed jig, which just clicks over to the next setting - the sled would have to have a backplate that moves mindlessly with the clamped piece,,, click and push.
Pure honesty here. Nothing pretentious! You didn't have to explain yourself. What is, is what is. Power stick pusher, junk tossed back in, go for it!
Speaking of push sticks, just a quick idea, I was at Harbor Freight and found one of those drywall sanding blocks for about $5. Cheap, made of plastic, has the locking part at each end for sandpaper. I took that, has some of that rubber shelving sheets you put in drawers, and cut a piece of that and put it on the sanding block like you would the sand paper. It worked great as a push block for plywood.
Great video! great Idea for the blades! Definitely saved me some time! Loved the Fight Club homage. Thanks!
New to your channel. Wasn't sure if you had a sense of humor. Now I see it! Dry as evaporated Riesling. Power strip pushstick = laugh for 2 minutes straight! Thanks. Your content is excellent.
That was a very useful video. Thanks very much, and I have subscribed. I also enjoyed your dry, salty style.
Brilliant video have wanted a way to do this for ages so simple, thank you.
Nicely done!...quality video...very much appreciate your work.
I just found your Chanel, all I can say is AWESOME !!!!
Awesome video! You answered a lot of questions. Thanks!
Your demo on creating box joints with strips of stock will make multiple colored boxes easy. Thanks !!
Thanks for this information. Much appreciated. Do you get any variation with the rubber spacer "taking up"?
Genius! You're awesome!! Thank you very much for the creative thinking.
Such a great video with very clear explanation, Thank you
Thanks for your thorough video. I have a question, is it possible to do all the 4 pieces of the tray in one shot? I saw you did 2 sides at a time. I hope my question is clear.
super work ,super idea with good finishing .
Forrest Company makes a pair of finger joint blades that are meant to be placed together, with no spacers. The teeth are set to one side, so that placing them one way cuts 1/4", and the other way (facing out) cuts 3/8". I wouldn't worry about putting blades together, they don't and they are one of the biggest blade companies. I've been using their blades for years.
Very useful, very informative, very well made video. I will make an identical setup today for making bee supers. Thank you Jack.
Excellent! I will certainly use your stacking technique.
Great Video, excellent concept on stacking Blades, well done....
this was definitely informative. great tips!
This was awesome. Well done.
Great vid! Great info! I enjoyed it a lot! Thanks!!!
Love the push stick.
+djAnakin I got a charge out of that as well. It was a powerful hack.
That's a pretty neat trick there, how you made them by cutting the board into thin strips. I think I might give that a try.
I love the star trek T Shirt, big fan of that and big fan of you! awesome videos!
Everyone's a Hitchcock now.Even ballsy woodworkers.
I've been having troubles making box joints. I like your idea of using a sled to hold them on, so I'm gonna try that, thanks!
Superb. You are easily on the same level as applied science. All of your videos are unique and informative, thank you very much.
***** I'm flattered by the comparison. Thank you!
like the homemade table saw. Good for cutting small pieces and you dont have to breakdown the dado setup. I will make one soon great idea. Thanks
I like your idea because is works fine! I wanted to try it but i thought, ...what if I use a metal washer in between blades rather than inner tube rubbers? Have you tried it?
Amazing work
Ablolutely brilliant idea. You're an natural teacher.
Just stumbled upon your channel. You have a new sub, you dangerous subliminally-popcorn-hawking ANIMAL! LOVED this video, even though I already own two dado stacks. 😒
Also, your "ripped box joints" were entirely new to me. I have not seen that idea before ANYWHERE in my vast InterWebs adventures. 👍🏼👍🏼
I struggled with making my own box joint jig but still had problems getting my box joints to fit good, especially very long or wide box joints. I finally bought an Incra I-box and that took care of that. I also use a Freud dado set of blades that I've used for year. My primary problem there is keeping the blades sharp. I sharpen my blades myself.
Your setup is really good and I may try to experiment with you blades of choice.
Loved the power strip push stick. You are great.
Excellent presentation.
Great job! Love your work. Funny though...I have this strange urge to go and buy some...popcorn!!
You are the only woodworking/crafting channel that I'm subbed to. These videos are masterfully done, and it's really interesting to see your process unfold. So smart, and it makes me want to explore this medium even more and expand my knowledge. Even though I don't craft in this way myself, videos like these make me curious. I've been subbed to you for a bit now and I can say that I admire the hard work you put into these projects and am looking forward to what you have to show us next. You inspire me to learn more in the way of crafting and creation... keep up the great work man and thanks for just generally being a cool guy.
Also! I saw that Chozo from Metroid on your wall. You're a fan? That's pretty sweet :]
Zero Man Thanks, that's really nice. And yeah, I'm a long time Metroid fan;)
Diggin that thumbnail! Lovely video as always
did you just use a plug strip to push the wood through..? sometimes I wonder
Great video, thanks for making this available! I've never seen dado blades in hardware stores here in Germany, so this may be the only way to go for me.
I just wonder why I'm always wanting to eat popcorn when watching this ;-)
Apparently dado blades have been been made illegal in the EU because of safety concerns, e.g., no riving knife can be used
Awesome job you just save me a lot of money thanks
Have the same idea in my head for a quick diy version of the dado blade, now I've seen it done.
Cool and instructive video, thanks.
Do you have to use fresh rubber shims each time or can you reuse them a couple times (till you them start to deteriorate)??? A d thank you for showing your method of how you make a box j joint with a single blade!!
Do you have a video of how to build the slay you used ? Thanks
I remember an old schooler telling me they just gave the blade a twist til they got the result they needed, I have yet to have tried it but it's amazing how ingenuitve old schoolers were.
the return of the power bar push stick!
It's ok it has a quick blow fuse!
Your great content is making me wanna me a woodworker like you. Keep up the great work mate! :-)
nice video, thanks for sharing the information.
10:08 Popcorn. LOLz.
It's a pleasure to watch videos made by someone with good verbal skills. I believe that your dado stack trick is safe but am not ready to try it out myself. Kudos for clarifying that this video is FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY, hence the subliminal image of a popcorn box. I've subscribed to your channel in the hope that you may thereby garner some material benefit, knowing as I do the importance of self-promotion in this material world.
wow, woodworking is so cool
This is one of the best instructional vidz I've seen in a while.
Well done sir
The push stick has 'multiple' uses...ha ha ... great video .. . good footage
Been using this for box joints and other cuts for years! works great no problems no safety issue's, don't over freak out
Thank you very much. This is very good.
I liked the idea of assembling and gluing sticks instead of cutting finger joints . Smart idea !
Love this. Im gonna try this now
Thanks heaps for this clear and concise video tip
Very interesting video!
For some reason I just got the sudden urge to eat some hot, fresh popcorn.
awesome! very well done.
beautiful project. very nice!
On the thrid project making a box joint without a dado blade. when staking couldn't you use a biscuit cutter and add them for strength?
Good advice about the carbide teeth flying off…in fact every time we use a NEW blade with Carbide Teeth, stand clear of the pathway of the blade as one tip might fly off!
Yep, that was shear awesome. I hate my dado set up I have and have been wanting to do exactly this for some time. This was a eureka moment for me.
very clever and effective.. nice job..
Great Video! thanks for sharing.
More than one problem solved for me with this video. Thanks for the tips...for future entertainment, of course.
Gracias por compartir su conocimiento. Excelente video, y de mucha utilidad.
Great video!!!
That spikebar push stick gave me a laugh. Your second channel is cool, wish I had heard sooner.
I watched this video shortly after you posted it, and I really enjoyed it. Then I had a project to do for a friend that called for some unconventional box joints. I remembered your last technique on here and employed it in my project. I'm hoping to make and post a video of it soon. I hope you won't mind if I give you a shout-out in my video, since this was where I learned that trick. I think I've seen almost everything you have posted. Great stuff!
I'm gonna go eat popcorn now... I don't know why.
Excellent video- felt like I was back in shop class in High School
Fun as always!
