Ive been in this type of environment most of my life but its still fascinating to watch how other people do there work, if you had made this twice as long it still wouldn’t have been long enough thanks for the footage and a big thanks to Derek for spending the time to do it with you 👍

Shame there’s no part 3. Brilliant content. 👍👏👏👏.

That was a great video, I thought 30 mins might have been quite long but could have watched hours lol. Definately food for thought and great to see experience from large workshops being used. Thanks Sam

I could watch hours of him showing his methods! Great stuff!

You two are amazing, Derek has stripped everything down to its component level and examined every process to save time and money. Using the Kreg was a complete eye opener as I was saving for a Domino or Lamello. No point. You have to follow this up as to what you change in your own new workshop. Only just caught up with this episode and it’s a gem 👍🏻 👌👍🏻 thank you so much and hope you got home okay.

Derek strikes me as a true gent, Many Thanks for sharing this.

Brilliant vid. I hope you go back and visit him again with your camera in hand. I could easily watch another hour of you 2 talking tools and processes. Cheers David

Really impressed by Derek - he knows his business and has thought everything through - top man!

this is why high exp tradies are so important,once you get us yapping we love comparing and sharing what we have learned...thanx so much alistair and derek..i love how you share your mistakes and how you fix them and your method..i hope you know how much we appreciate it...Ty from s.oz

Another great video , love seeing how other people work and use in their workshop . Go back and buy something else of him so we can see part 3 and 4 ... 👍

What a cracking guy Derek is 👍👍

Omg mate! What a very interesting video, I like many of the people who commented could have watched for hours. He seems like someone you can bounce ideas off and get a good confident answer. Good to see another Grass guy too!

Thanks for a great pair of videos which are so rich with info. That's one hell of an edge gander!

Really appreciate this...Derek is very generous with his work process..thanks so much..

Thanks for all the great content. Looking forward to the next bid.

So informative, brilliant video - thank you!

Absolutely fantastic couple of video's, really enjoyed watching these. So informative. Learned so much from these, thanks for all your time and effort you put into your videos

Great videos and discussion with Derek! Thanks for sharing!

Big thanks to you and Derek for sharing.

Great content Alistair! some great tips on the tools, and Derek. what a nice guy!

Great 2 part vid. Hints, inside knowledge was great to listen to. Be great to see a dedicated hints and tips vid. Thanks for your time guys

Very interesting vid, Derek seems like a cool guy.

Finally got round to watching. Thanks for sharing Alastair and for your content Derek.

I thought this was excellent! So much information shared and processes that have clearly been very well thought out. I like the drawers! And yes, I've started to follow Derek on Instagram.

Great video/ chat . I'm considering an edgebander at the moment so this was very informative . I could listen to you guys chatting all day . brilliant . ( James BH Kitchens)

Thank you Alistair and Derek great video 👍

Thanks for sharing - Im impressed 🖒

Brilliant videos lads

He's a top bloke. Great video.

Great video.

What a great and no nonsense video wish I was 20 years younger I may have started a cabinet making based business in the strength if this alone. In the meantime with stick with friends and family projects. Will nick some ideas though👍👍👍. John

Thank you for all the information much appreciated kind regards Wow Interiors Bedford.

Yes, "a lot of interesting stuff". Thanks. Cheers, David

Great video. Love a few of my cheap ryobi tools too... That little trim router he pulled out is cracking. Homebase has them for £45 every now and then. Also like their hot glue gun for £19!

👍 what an interesting guy.

Nice video, nice chaps, I’ve a blend of dewalt and Ryobi, their brushless tools are very good. 👍

Great video, still can’t see why anyone with a workshop who does fitted furniture doesn’t have an edgebander, side drilling cnc and a cnc, saves so much time and effort. Pre mill on an edgebander isn’t essential when cut on cnc. Half them tools would be useless with a cnc. It’s just a shame alister that you have chosen a diy cnc rather than an industrial one but hopefully you can learn on that and move on the bigger and better things, edgebander is a must for the new workshop if you can afford one in the future definitely have plans for one in the future if you can. Good luck with it all with the workshop it’s very tough to make money in this game when the overheads are not kept affordable, it is fairly easy when times are good but when you hit harder times then it’s easy to go out of business , on the other hand you can’t build a decent business in what we do without a proper workshop.

Great video, while I have the Rafix (Häfele system) as well as the Domino, the Lamello P2 Zeta Clamex and Tenso are the winner for knockdowns. Confirmat screws are also a great system.

Great insight to how these big guys work and I guess he could have done a part 3 as well😂.

Great insight from Derek and your discussion. Lots to learn from you both. I was curious as to how he uses the hot melt Ryobi tool. Does he use it to apply scribe strips permanently or with another adhesive? Or just for temporary hold of pieces. Would you trust hot melt glue for scribe strips?

great videos

Thanks for a great couple of informative videos. IMHO perhaps the only improvement would be to have had Derek with his own microphone,

Can you post the contact for the Unihopper drawer products?

Thank you for your video amazing! Honestly very helpful but.Dominos connectors are not good please try ! Lamello Zeta P2 as u said this is an amazing system ! U will love it !

Really interesting to see/hear the processes and kit. Could be a good idea for a spin off series of videos.. you taking “shop” with other quality makers.

This is unbelievably good

Great conversation sharing ideas, tips and techniques. 👍👍👍 I'm another fan of ryobi tools, after having my Dewalt battery tools get nicked, I switched over to makita those also got nicked. So I dug out my old USA tooling, now the only problem is Ryobi will not do repairs under garentee because I'm a pro user 😔😠😠😠😠

As far as i know the Hk55 only goes to 50degree and the hk85 goes to 60degrees so if buying for understair units doublecheck before buying.

👍

Anyone know which Grass drawer runners he means? When I've looked in the Hafele catalogue that all appear to be more expensive then the Blum (Movento,) not cheaper.

Brilliant and interesting , makes me feel very inadequate in terms of knowledge 😂

Great video. The hk55 and hkc only go to 50 degrees

Grass runners cost like 40 pound in where I live

I’m glad I don’t work with Derek. I wouldn’t get any work done. I’d be talking to him for hours.

Derek Barrett needs to start a youtube i think

Problem with the edge banding machines is the extreme price.
