Thanks Graham. I like to work accurately because I'm used to not being the only one working with the same components. If everything is just done correctly at each stage, the people down the line don't need to figure out what has gone wrong and have to adjust for the inaccuracies. I spent about 10 years running industrial CNC routers. +/-0.001...no worries 😂
Wow that's a lot of work! I don't use a router* but it seems like you could set up an adjustable jig for doing these with much much less moving of pieces. Some setup of a fence on a screw or threaded rod, and some sort of dial to tell you the distance per rotation (calculated from the thread pitch). Drill some holes for locating pins in the top of the fence so you get them in the same places each setup, and all it takes is some cranking (or drill assistance) to move the stops exactly - no need to cut new scraps each project. Though I suppose you could just standardize your mortise distances and simply repeat using the same stop blocks each time. *- I have an old one for the odd emergency, but would have to set the workmate up outside to use it... too much dust for my apartment!
It's not a bad idea that you offer. It would be a lot of work to create your jig initially, and inevitably it will end up being too short on one job sometime. I only use custom length blocks when I want to guarantee the mortise being center of the workpiece. If the mortise is off to one side of center, then I just set the blocks and cut each mortise as required. Cutting custom length blocks and setting up the router like I have in this video takes me less than 5 minutes without filming. I can afford the 5 minutes. Cheers
169.7mm - that's some next level accuracy!! I got a cool book for Christmas - by Simon Winchester called "Exactly - How engineers created the modern world" - it's about the evolution of precision and accuracy in engineering - it specifically excludes wood because of its inherently unstable characteristics with movement etc but so far it's a great read. cheers 👍
Long have I envied the engineers. They can work to within 0.001mm and have it stay that way. I can work within 0.1mm and have it stay that way for 10 seconds. It's like ball bearings. Buy em off the shelf and they fit every time! When asked if I can produce another component, I say sure...gimme one so I can copy it 😂
Neat, festool eat your heart out. Love your editing, Kuffy, can I ask which software do you use? Thanks mate, cant wait for the next one and looks like a change of heart on the feet for the tv stand eh.
I'm using Filmora video editor. It just underwent a pretty major upgrade to Filmora 9 and it is really good now. It used to be pretty good, but very laggy. Now it's a lot less laggy. And yup! Those work boot feet on the TV unit are gone, gonna turn some big fat chunky bun feet. Should look a treat!
You either need new glasses or a new tape. To my calculation that short length stick was 169.5 not 169.7 But I won't tell anyone else ;D I like the fancy laser graphics effect to show the mortice positions etc. Keep them coming. I'm enjoying my morning tea with a little entertainment :D
Very satisfying cutting your own tenons but if you had a domino you’d have had time to go to the beach afterwards... unless you went back and fixed all the misalignments that is...

Well explained, Kuffy.
Thanks Steve. I worry that I skip over crucial details when explaining things.
Good show I’m learning a bit one show at a time,thanks
Me too! 😂
Thanks for another great vid mate 👍👍👍
No worries mate. 👍
Great precision there mate, love the way you work things out down to fractions of a mm. I quite liked the old legs 😒 oh we'll never mind 👍👍

Ahhh, it seemed like it took a lot more fiddling/measuring outside of the recording. Thanks for the detailed response.

Hehe, no worries mate. 👍

I work within -0.0mm-+0.2mm so were all good 😂
I’m going to the shed to hug my domino 😃
Yeah, but what if it breaks! What then! You'll be glad for this video then 😂
Kuffys Woodwork 😂👍👍

I think that's what a domino would be for me. More time to watch TV or goto the beach, but not necessarily more work completed each year.
Who in the world uses MM?...Get up to date with the rest of us and use imperial.
🤣🤣🤣 Perhaps the rest of us will eventually catch up to the THREE countries that still use imperial 🤣
