The workshop makeover has its downside - in this case I can’t lay my hands on the super-simple positional jig I made years back for the #Festool #LR32 ‘holey’ #rail, so if I have to make it again - you’re coming along for the ride. Enjoy!

Built mine so that the plywood runs out far enough to flush up with the edge of your finished cabinet, this way when you set the router guide on the track it will drill the holes at a 37mm set back, if you build a lot of euro cabinets. 😁👍🏻

Likely nothing malicious, let's say that someone is not into woodwork and this appears on their recommended list. They try it but don't like it and also don't want to see something similar recommended to them, then they should hit the thumbs down button to improve the future recommendations. I do it all the time with music but not really with video for some reason, probably because I'm happy with my recommendations. I doubt it's anything more than that.

Love the idea. I made these after watching your other guide rail instant jig making video a while back. It was easier for me to buy a predrilled white melamine 18" x 8' board here in the states from HD (The "Orange" big box store) that had the 27mm & 10mm offsets holes predrilled in it. Using a 5mm bit in my router to sync with the 5mm holes in the board, I was able to find the correct distances form the edge. Then with my Peter Millard inspired jigs, I was able to set the correct offset from the edge. Did the same for a 10mm for the rear. For the middle, I just a split the difference for a 24" cabinet side for the middle pins if needed. Hardware fits, shelf's don't rock, works pretty good. Keep the great ideas coming. You inspire other woodworkers to do better.

Hi Peter... I'm from across the pond in New England where the weather is just awful... I watch 2 or 3 KZfaq's a day from a host of Wood Workers and I do so enjoy your content... the Jigs are just wonderful and I learn so much watching. As I told Matt Jackson of Next Level Carpentry I watch all your videos even if I'll probably will never do what your doing... BUT, I'll be exposed to a tool, a jig, a method or something I see you do will germinate in my mind and when I'm doing a project I'll have that AHA moment and say to myself... "I know how work this problem out!" or I saw Peter or Matt or one of the other You Tuber's do this or that! All I can say great is... Just Brilliant keep up the good work... I have friends up in Ipswich, one who has a radio program on Suffolk BBC "Mark Murphy" He is always looking for interesting people to interview I'm going to drop him line about you if he doesn't already know about you! Check out Matt Jackson both of you seem to be on the very high end of wood working... take care, again great topics!

Peter, was the doble sided tape you used in the video the same 3M 9088 double-sided tape you link to in the description? I bought some of that a while ago and though I can't remember why wasn't briliantly impressed with it, though it had been stored in a cold unheated garage just before I used. It's inside now but I wondered if you hald alternative stuff to try?

I really liked the earlier video #361 when you made a high end version of an Ikea product. Could you for the sake of entertainment make a video in which you make a bespoke version of a Billy shelf, like 10cm wider than the regular one but of similar quality as from the store? Obviously it would be interesting to know the time and cost that it would take.

@@10MinuteWorkshop Obviously it could be a smaller project, but the point of the excercise would be to show how much would it cost to make an item that would fit your house and your needs when the Ikea product is slightly the wrong size.

This one is making me feel stupid, but I just don't get it... What is the purpose of this jig? To get the rail square with the material by aligning the rail to a drawn line? To a drawn line that may or may not be square to the material? Sorry for being so thick; I'm sure I'm missing something...

@nialstewart8263 2 жыл бұрын

It's just a spacer to position the rail relative to where you want the shelf pins to go, you have to measure and mark that first. I'm surprised Peter didn't also cut a strip the width of his 'normal' spacing of the holes from the edge, because that would allow you to get set up much faster/ more reliably. ?

@10MinuteWorkshop 2 жыл бұрын

Sorry if that wasn't clear Kevin, but at ~4:40 I do say “…so there you go, a simple jig that lets you align your guiderail in exactly the right place so you know where your row of holes will go.” So basically as Nial says, it's an offset jig to allow you to position the rail accurately in relation to the row of holes. If you don't have an LR32 rail and system, then it's of admittedly limited use. 🤷‍♂️ 👍

@10MinuteWorkshop 2 жыл бұрын

@ Nial Stewart - Fair point, but it's because the spacing of the column of holes varies, depending on the application. 👍

@Wayfarer-Sailing 2 жыл бұрын

I sympathise with Kevin. I often spend most of a video (not especially on this channel - it's a general tendency) trying to understand what problem is being solved, which should be clear from the initial 'setup' part of the video. (Tell 'em what you're going to say, say it, and then finish by telling 'em what you said). I'm going to re-watch this one now to get a better appreciation of the value of the jig :) P.S. having re-watched I'm not convinced that you couldn't just measure the offset from the rail edge to the desired line of holes...

@TheLastPharm 2 жыл бұрын

I'm with everyone on this point. The jig seems to do almost exactly what the LR32 already does: it positions the router bit at a fixed distance from the guide rail. It would seem to be more useful to alter the jig so that it would also or at least position the holes at the standard distance from the edge of your material. That would ensure your consistency and reduce set-up time, would it not? Otherwise a great video, as always, Peter!

@3dmazter 2 жыл бұрын

why not make 2 marks on each end of the router base plate where the center of the bit is. Then mark the piece of wood and slide the base next to the mark and adjust the guiderail left and right to allign the marks.
