An interesting vid. I was hoping you would show a Dome, at the end, that you had produced using it. I have considered buying one of these devices but have pondered how to cut a TRUE dome, using it. What I cannot figure out is that out of the templates that the video showed, . the one with the most sides had twelve. Therefore it would not produce a true dome but a twelve sided dome. Or am I missing something? No doubt sanding could be done but that defeats the object of the device. Maybe you could produce another video, showing how you produce a true dome. Please.

Thank you for this video. It made me brave enough to start the build! I must have watched the critical part of it 4 to 5 times at least. And for sure I made a similar error, nevertheless...DOH! For me it were both 5-sided parts as they are the only ones being asymmetrical. And I’ve only seen it after the wood glue was completely dry... Not reading through the comments here, I searched on wood constructing web sites and got yet another tip for loosening wood glue: As most wood glue is not heat resistant, a simple hair dryer pointing to the seam heated up the hooks on my parts so easily I thought I share this for all who come to your video (being the best assemble video for this shifting lands tool out there). It only took 30-60s to heat up per hook. Even heating up 2 hooks at a time was no big effort. Thanks again for putting together this great video! @Gerard: Perhaps adding a note to the manual pointing out especially to the fail-potential of the 5-sided discs would be useful for future customers. ;-)

FYI, you can get 3" thick XPS from Menards, but I believe you have to special order. Most retail building material stores (Menards, Home Depot, Lowes) only carry 2" in stock. For sure Menards can get 3." That being said, I am a concrete contractor, and through my supplier I can get 4" XPS, and I believe they can also get 6" but this is NOT your typical homeowner store. So yes, they do make XPS thicker than 2" in the US, but you can only get it through construction supply houses.

Excellent video! I have this jig but have put off assembling it because Gerard doesn't have an instruction video on how to assemble it. Soooo, thank you!

Thanks for this review! Keep up the great content!

Wow this is really intricate

You might consider drilling the dowel pins on the templates to a diameter of a toothpick. Placing said toothpick through the axis of the template would give you a small pin that can be placed in the mark from your circular cutting board. No need for measuring to ensure the template is centered.

Thank you very much for this amazing video and if you use Isopropyl Alcohol on the pieces you glued in the wrong direction this can happen to anyone but very well explained how to get the correct directions on the small parts the Jigs are just amazing and really mind blowing and I just can't believe the amount of time and the designs are just out off this world and I just can't believe how easy to put the Jigs together Thanks for this wonderful video I hope I can make a video with all the Jigs and Templates just life changing for me Greetings from the South West of Ireland Teady

Great vid! I'm waiting on my order to arrive. Got several jigs coming in from Shifting Lands. Your review was really helpful.

Woodglue fails if heated. you should put it in your oven at medium temp and bake it for a while

HOW COULD YOU GET THE TEMPLATE

I don't see the Dome Cutter on their website

I do enjoy your videos, but that is too much of a project for me... I want to craft, not construct. Not for me, but to each their own.
