Plans - www.izzyswan.com/Store/DIY-SL...
This Homemade slot mortiser using very simple plywood dovetail slides to move the x and y positions has far exceeded my expectations. I was able to build it out of scrap plywood and a cheap router. The whole build cost less $100.00 Just goes to show some times DIY and Homemade is really worth the effort. This build saved me $1,400 dollars and I had a blast designing and building it.

Cool build! Some thoughts: 1. I like the longform, (mostly) quiet content, as I'm a *BIG* fan of both Mr. Chickadee and JSK-koubou. (Using the captions to explain what is going on is fairly easy to do while editing, too, though including a notice right at the beginning that you are doing so is pretty much manditory.) 2. For the pivot points, I would make the holes big enough to easily fit two nested pieces of brass tubing, with outer one being tight enough in the hole to need to be pounded in and the inner one being just a smidge longer than the thickness of the plywood & outer tubing, then use a washer on both sides. That way, they will rotate *much* more smoothly and you can torque the bolt right down without affecting the action. (Some graphite/etc. for lubrication would also help. 3. Some HDPE tape in the dovetails would also help make the carriage action smoother. 4. I think that you will find separately adjusted endstops will be less hassle than stacking them and using a single knob. 5. Temporary endstops for the actual face of the piece would probably be handy, as they would serve to limit the side-to-side motion of the drill bit while setting up, making setting the main endstops a lot easier. Cheers!

I think that you need a balance between this and your other videos. I like it when you say why and why not. But just hearing the tools is ok to. In the end it is all about just being you. That is why we watch. I have never heard you try to tell me to get something that I already have a never use. The only thing that you say to get are things that work and that will make work simpler. I appreciate that. When you don't explain things we get to? Why you have done something. Both ways work.

Hey Izzy, that's awesome! My only complaint is that the length adjustment seems a bit finicky. If you're going to release the plans, I think that the very first adjustment we make should be the starting point, and then adjust the "end" point in relations to the starting point. This would mean that we could only move the starting point and keep repeating the same cutout. In order to do that, the "end" point adjustment should be bolted down to the start point adjustment. If we want to repeat the same lenght cut, just move the first one. If we want longer or shorter cuts, move the first one then adjust the "end" point. A ruler could also be afixed to determine the length of the cuts. Love the idea though :) just think it needs a bit of refinement for the plans if youre going to sell them hehe

i really don't think any of the "domino killers' are even close to ease of use of the actual domino machine. For all of them, you mark the locations, take all the wood over to a table or some other jig, clamp the workpiece, use a variety of doodads to position the wood to the cutter, cut the joints and do it again for how ever many mortises you have. the domino just registers everything-incredibly easy to keep track of the joinery (ie, making a rail flush or offset from a leg). Plus, all in place. I made a heavy duty outside porch table for a neighbor-all 4x4, 1x4 and so on (oak). I laid out all the joinery on my bench and cut it all in 10 minutes. i bought one when they first came out and have used in on nearly every project since. I get it is expensive, but it works extremely well. think of it as a tool you will have for decades-mine is from 2007, the first year they sold in the US. these videos sometimes just sound like guys talking about making a table saw from an upside down circular saw as a real alternative to a table saw.

Izzy you know you are awesome. I have not bought anything or built anything. Suck because I really want too. Every since 2015 till now I have enjoyed watching your work come alive. Either way you do your videos, you always explain the little things, like you understand the virgin mind when it come understanding how you build, design, and use the thing you build.

Not that I have a problem with videos with more dialogue, I did really enjoy getting to see very clearly the step by step methods for the build in silence with key explanation points. This gave me the opportunity to really think through what you're doing and make sense of everything. I think both formats have good value, and since most videos have constant speaking, this is a nice change of pace.

I own a Festool Domino…and I 100% LOVE your self made tool! VERY clever design man!

@davidadams2173 5 ай бұрын

I was watching your video originally for making the tool, but ended up watching you using your tools and your methods/ techniques. I do somethings different but got some different perspectives! Thanks

Brilliant work. Definitely has more functions than a Festool Domino. I do like the video format this way. The irony of cutting simple pocket holes on a $1500+ Castle pocket cutter is perfect. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

I like both formats, so don't stop doing either way. I love making my own tools and yours looks excellent. You got yourself a customer for the plans!.

You sure have come a long way from when I first started watching your awesome videos working in your garage to what you have now and I'm VERY happy to see it.

When it comes to thing like this build. I always see a fact that most problems can be solved my understanding how thing move / operate. Amazing work.

This is great! I love that you can use straight bits instead of a spiral bit as well.

The Festool dig in the title got my attention. You are very talented if your ideas are your own you were definitely born to it. I'm sure you realize Festool sell point is the portability. If you've ever done a yacht refit or Private Jet alterations. You'd appreciate the stealth of a Festool package loaded into flight case you would have custom built to meet the deadline. I do applaud your creativity.

I personally love the running commentary! Any one who does not like to hear you talk... ALWAYS THE MUTE BUTTON! Good to see you on your feet again. Thank you for inspiring so many of us!

I am simply astounded by all of the great ideas you have. All of your videos get me thinking and wish I had 1/10th of the level of skill you show. You make it all look really easy!

I enjoy your dialogue. That said, I didn't need the play by play. I'd say you have the VO just right in this vid. Love the machine.

I had to giggle a bit when you talked about a "$1500 one use tool" not being in your DNA and then proceeded to use a Castle pocket hole system to build it, which is an $2000 one use tool! Love you videos! Keep it up. Even though I am giggling 🤣
