Went to buy the Massca Dowel Jig X, ended up getting that, a clamp, and their pocket hole system on sale for Black Friday. This is perfect for an outdoor picnic table I’m building and some garage cabinets.
I got that dowel jig X on your recommendation a few months ago. I’ve used it several times already. As a newbie to this hobby it’s really helped strengthen my joints. Thanks, Matt!
I love love love my METRIC Fastcap tape measures. I grew up with metric and I’ve had a hell of a time with imperial, so now I just convert and I never make errors. Love the pencil sharpener in it but also love the white circle, great for writing measurements with that sharpened pencil on it, because my mind is a sieve!!!
Love your videos! The lefty/righty FastCap tape measure (the green one) is my go-to. I am right-handed but I use a tape measure the way a left-handed person would, so I was always trying to read upside-down numbers. Many measurements went awry, and a whole bunch of wood was wasted. FastCap lefty/righty was a game-changer for me.
I’m sure you’ve heard this before but you remind me so much of one of my three all-time favorite UFC fighters, Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone. His look, his personality, and his humor. Great video. Thanks!
I actually use my pocket hole jig with dowels, I have also used my pocket hole jig to make a French cleat style wall mount but with angled screws instead.
Howdy Mr. 731.. I can vouch for that Suizan saw. Bought one about a year ago. I don't use it too too often but mann..mann. When I need it, it's awesome and works great 👍. I like that dowel jig too. Again...using dowels don't happen much in my shop...probably cause they are a pain to do properly, but I'll definitely have to invest in that angled one.
On the FastCap tape measure the spot where his sticker went is a writable surface, perfect for jotting down measurements. For my cabinet work, I use the FastCap flat back tape measures. It's a flat blade (no cup like regular tape measures, so measuring and marking on a board is easy and accurate. It's not for inside measurements, as the hook doesn't have the normal slippage found on regular tape measures.
Man! Can you make a video on a high budget break the bank tool video? Like “if you’re just starting out and money is no object these are all the tools you’ll need to do just about anything”. That would be a super fun video!
My fastcap tape has both SAE/Metric but on the SAE Side it shows the fractions. Comes in very handy for someone who grew up with basically only metric. I’ve had mine for about 3 years, my shop ordered brand new ones for some new guys and I checked the accuracy with the new ones and it’s still perfect after being dropped hundreds of times
I just bought one of these so I can start working in metric. I'm tired of wasting brain power on fractions, plus i can't count fractions on my fingers.
The Rocker Router set up jig is missing the 8 mm shank router bits, which with CNC being so popular, are more and more common now. I'd own one otherwise. I have a Fastcap tape measure that has a center-finding scale built in. Not only is the center-finding feature awesome, it's the only tape measure I have (sadly, not even my Stanley's are this good) that matches my very expensive Starrett measuring tools for accuracy. That is, no matter how far the tape measure is extended, the distance marks match exactly the marks on the Starrett measure. Excellant tool.
My favorite tape measure... Stanley metal case 12 ft. No huge bulky casing you get with longer tapes and over 99% of the neasurements in my shop are under 12 ft. I have them attached to ttols and work areas in a few spots with screw-on earth magnets... under $10 at the Depot.
Absolutely love the look of Massca Dowel Jig X - hopefully it won't be too long before it's available in the UK 🇬🇧 Looked at buying it direct from Massca, but shipping to GB costs more than the actual jig!! Ridiculous 😮💨
I made a X cut dowel jig years ago out of a piece of hardwood and put in hardened drill guides which i can alter for bigger sizes, and it still works a treat
What is the length of the body of the Fastcap tape measure? It used to be easy to find tape measures that were 3 inches long and that made it easy to accurately measure between 2 inside corners using the 3 inch body of the tape to offset the measurement. Now it seems that most are 80mm which doesn't make sense on a fractional tape measure. I realize that we're behind the times here in the States but how hard is it to design a fractional tape measure using fractional units?
Anyone have thoughts on using the Massca Dowel Jig on Langstroth boxes (beehive box) instead of using box joints? I can't use a dado and this would be much easier for me to toss a couple dowels into the sides instead.
FastCap makes an even better tape measure than that. It has all those features plus the measurements labeled down to 1/16th of an inch, which makes reading a measurement massively easier and more likely to be accurate. And they are SO CHEAP too. FastCap makes great great stuff.
I've used that cross-dowel technique for decades. Never had a jig to help line things up though. Great way to add a nice look to your work, but I've always done it just as a way to strengthen the joints. Nice to see someone making a quality metal-body tool to help with the process and I will definitely have to pick up a set.
I like masca jig but I think it is not really practical. They have not thought about clamping and provided very small surface and no ability to have side "wings" to help with clamping. Speaking from owning 4 jigs myself 😊. Dowelmax is the only one that has thought thru and have a solution for clamping on edge, face and over miter.
I offer you a ”tool”tip so you dont need four tape measuses that you still have a hard time finding. Put an airtag or similar on one 😎Will be cheaper aswell.
took a few cuts , but i've had to figure the difference between my tape and a co-workers tape when he was taking measurements. luckily my tape was reading 3/32" long, so no material was wasted, but shows how two tapes can be different. i usually prefer that whoever takes the measurements makes the cuts
That dowel jig looks really nice. I have and use that small Suizan saw. One thing that I don't like about it is that their steel rusts very easily. If you use it to flush-cut dowels and you cut the dowels before the glue sets completely, any remaining moisture content from the glue can start to cause the saw to rust after you put it away. If you get this saw, you probably want to wipe it down with some sort of rust inhibitor any time it might come in contact with any moisture. I think even moisture content in wood itself can be enough to cause surface rust. With that said, even though mine has some traces of surface rust on it, it still cuts fine. I think it's good for flush-cutting and also sometimes cutting off small parts. I also use it when I'm cutting notches in wood pieces -- like with half-lap or cross-lap joints, and I want to get nice crisp corners. I'll first cut with a circular saw, but if my cut edges don't meet up perfectly then I'll finish the cut with a small saw like this at he corners. Since this saw is razor-thin with a very fine kerf, you can get really square corners when you finish your cuts with these, and you will have little to no required touch-up with a chisel after you cut.
The FastCap Lefty/Righty tape measure is my favorite. You never have to read it from the wrong direction. The same clip that makes it easier to put on your belt is on it also. The flat back tape measure is super for measuring something that isn't flat.
@@rleeingram Yep. That's the difference between having the tape in a tool pouch or hanging on your belt or pocket. For smaller jobs, I don't find a tool pouch to be helpful. Larger jobs, yes.
I’ve been carrying a Fast Cap Lefty-Righty on my left pocket for some years. Never know which end of the board I’m going to be measuring from. Love how 8th and 16th marks are numbered. You forgot to mention that if you don’t slap a sticker on the side, that white disk serves as an erasable note pad to jot down measurements when partner is at the top of the ladder and you left your paper pad back at the saw. Use it every day.
Someday we will hopefully see some woodworking on a regular & consistent basis like it used to be. Algorithm or not, that's what brought me here & had me. Haven't enjoyed what used to be in a very long time. These types of videos are a dime a dozen now, everywhere on YT unfortunately.
Understandable. I make content for a living. People watch these videos 10x more than anything else so you're in the minority. I watch the data and see what works and what doesn't. Dime a dozen or not, these are what people want to see.
Bought the fastcap tapes years ago, and they are the only tape measures that have stood with me. Everyone who borrows one loves them and asks where to get them. I also love my flat blade tape, makes measuring super simple on most wood with a flat face! Their glü bot glue bottles are amazing as well
The folded Suizan saw is not dovetail saw. It is a ryoba（两刃, which means double edge） saw. A Japanese dovetail saw typically have saw back to increase stability.
Could you please do a tutorial on the Rockler Router Bit Center Gauge? (I understand the depth portion from the bit recessing into the table... BUT I don't understand the "Centering" portion.)
Everything but the tape measure is impressive. All the extra stuff is nothing. Whatever happened to tape measures that actually had the indices noted in fractions so you don’t have to count off in your head? Imperial on one side metric on the other. It’s measuring 101. That tape sucks. 4 out of 5 ain’t bad tho.
Interested in the tshirt. I found a site that sells a shirt like that but it misquotes and says “Put the full armor…”, leaving out the word “on”. Link maybe? Thanks for sharing your talent and Jesus with the masses. You rock bro!
A cheaper and easier option for the Dowell X is glue and clamp the piece and drill a couple of random holes at any angle insert Dowell's and ,,,,,job done.. who care what the angle is .
I much prefer a brightly colored tape measure. I have a tape measure dedicated to both the table saw and the miter saw and there are times I have trouble finding them; however, the bright color stands out so easily found!
If they are already exposed dowel, i would just stay with my jigless way. I just use glue and screws. Once the two boards glued together, i take out of them, enlarge the hole, and put dowels inside.
As a chair-maker by trade, I never liked pocket screws. The dowl-X looks pretty amazing and could open up a lot of possibilities for functional furniture.
If you lay things out right, you can touch or overlap the dowels so the visible ends look like a figure 8. Or use just one side so you get a row of teardrops going down the line.
If you use a regular dowel jig you don't have the dowels exposed. I can't see any application where I would use this worthless jig. I don't see anything amazing about it.
Danger! 😅 I bought the first 3 items before I could get to the 4th tool on the list in this video. I’m afraid to watch the rest. 😅 Somehow it led me getting into Magswitch featherboards and fences. I have no drill press fence, no left-of-blade miter slot on Ryobi TS, and plastic HF router table fence. This video was dangerous to my wallet. But thanks a bunch!

Ok Matt the drawer organizers look great but do you have a tool for under $30 that help me put my tools back in the organizer tray?
lol I wish there was such a thing. I'd pay a lot more than $30 for that!
I believe the tool that’s supposed to put away the tools is you 😂
I bet for that price you could rig up something that, when you open the door to your shop, says “Put your crap away” (or any variation you like)
Best I can do is under $30/hr. Get shop a assistant.

On the stanly tapes the rubber can remove pencil marks. I bet those you showed would do the same.

@@mooseroo2005 There's a link to it in the description that brings you right to the jig on their website.
I dropped my fastcap tape measure and the case split open. it still works but it's time on this planet is limited.
Bummed it doesn’t seem to be on Amazon anymore…
Love the router guage! I think there other things you can do with it as well.
Danger! 😅 I bought the first 3 items before I could get to the 4th tool on the list in this video. I’m afraid to watch the rest. 😅 Somehow it led me getting into Magswitch featherboards and fences. I have no drill press fence, no left-of-blade miter slot on Ryobi TS, and plastic HF router table fence. This video was dangerous to my wallet. But thanks a bunch!
lol 👊🏻
