Can we see it in action ? 6 month review ?

Your findings echo my own, and are why I mostly don't even bother with pocket screws any more. For most joints, I just use my dowelmax. Otherwise, the construction screws.

NIce video - as mentioned elsewhere fine dust is the killer - two ways of minimising that are 1) keep your dust collection filter on the other side of the wall or in a room which ventilates to outside and/or 2) have suitably sized extraction fan ventilating to the outside rather than the filter. I know that is "difficult" in a basement!!

If you're not painting the cabinets (in which case you'd be looking at a lot of painted endgrain whenever you opened a door), and if the client isn't averse to some endgrain in their door joinery, the bridle makes for a highly attractive joint. I know I sent hundreds of such doors (meaning thousands of such joints) out into the world, where they would last a few centuries in the unlikely event they don't get scrapped in about ten years time, which is about as long as kitchens survive before the next remodel, in the U.S at least. Sort of sad to think about it like that. Then there's the thousands of handcut dovetails in the drawers… _Fine Woodworking_ magazine did this test a few years ago (I think they may do it periodically), and I recall the bridle proved to be the strongest. I did a more informal test on my bridle joints: I glued together a rail and stile, stood the stile upright on the floor, and then made a seat of the rail by putting virtually all my weight on the distal end. When the joint didn't budge it was good enough for me.

I built my first large tv stand with three tools. I would suggest you to add a cheap electric hand plane to the list and save some time.

I need to watch this at half speed. Gaps between sentences would help also. It's like speaking words without punctuation.

I want to make a small production line, and that tip about flip down castors would make an amazing change to the small area I have to work with. I didn't know they existed. It will allow me to build a couple of different workstations and move the appropriate bench to my work area rather than set up some multi-use thing that requires part changing and compromises in design. *I don't know what stations I need yet, I haven't even finished inventing the PRODUCT. But the idea is going straight to my file of good ideas

The craftsmanship here is just insane. I'm building a mechanics bench so it doesn't need to be that classy, in fact I really don't want it that nice, because I don't want to hesitate about banging it up with engine parts. This is so nice I'd rather have it in my house.

Absolutely terrific video man

Very helpful, thanks!

Can you add a spline to a rabbet?

Dumb question, why can't the miter saw just... live close to the right wall?

the other point that you missed with duct work, every tee will introduce a "dead space" that introduces more turbulence

2:20 "random orbit sanders" - shows the probably best orbital sander on the market with a price of 600$, totaly random :D

You would record the amount of current the new system draws for one set of ducting vs the other.

Everyone knows thicker is better…

With all of that wood dust flying around hope you are wearing a dust mask. It doesn't appear so in your video. Lung ailments will await you, my friend.

I genuinely enjoyed this video. Awesome job! (and great table 😁)

What type of tape do you put over the gap in your circular saw dust hood? I have the same model.

Great video Scott! I learned some stuff from this too, although you didn't mention the godfather of all dust collection research & testing- Bill Pentz!

I am all for paining outdoor furniture. It is so frustrating keeping wood looking good. Just deteriorates out there.

$20,000 workshop so I can make a low cost $200 workbench. Makes sense.

Where do you go to buy pre-milled pine?

GREAT VIDEO!!!! Thank you for making it!

That was fun. Thanks for the video.

If you need a weekend or lifetime home for that dog, I'm your man.

Specific props for the audio consistency. Hard to hear the difference between your voice in the Big Box store and your shop. Lots of other great value in this video, had to add props for the audio.

gel base 100% looked the best.. I think you should just buy a tin of gloss paint to get the finish you want.

Hey man. Love your channel etc. etc. Countersinking. Wouldn't wood screws with flat heads be better for the job? I imagine that screws with this standard cone head would have a tendency to loosen their grip over time.

I treat pocket holes as clamps for the glue and not as a source of strength.

What brand jointer is that and the specs 12:21

I think you need stronger timber and glue !!? LOL ! 😂

made my first last year, just got tired of working on the ground, so had to build something xD

Any chance you can share a link to the formica/melamine sheet you bought? I want to build just a little box to sit on top of my workbench for assembly but I don't want to spend hundreds at Home Depot for a single sheet.

When cutting for the diagonal braces, allow for any end play in the circular saw shaft bearings. If there's a lot of slop and it will move back and forth easily, the saw blade position is going to shift on you.

Figure the lumber mill knows about the core warping issue; that's why they cut smaller boards from it, where the warp angle x the smaller board dimensions will give the least distance off.

My solution: Don't have enough internal space and do all my wordwork outside :D

Best outro ever.

As a person that knew nearly nothing about dust collection, thanks for the video. However, I think that's been really unpolite to say "hey, the brand that I carefully make you see in every shot that I could take actually made me this video". I mean, i get the gist at the fourth perfect focus of the brand, so think "saw" that coming. However, was really not fun to look a close to thirty minutes ad of the brand. If it's an ad (payed with money or goods not my problem) STATE IT. It's simply polite and allow people to choose if they want to see that. Cheers.

Can I just say...at the start of the video when you pointed at your pristine workbench and said you want to do something about that mess.... All I can say is... you would absofreakinlutely lose your damned mind if you saw my shop. LOL...

With the mitre on a slide I wonder if you could Jerry rig some kind of DRO for measuring?

you put a rabbit in the legs so the sides would fit and not allow dust and yet you put gaps between the panel boards??

I hate to do it but it is Asterisk* not astricks or astrix. Now show me some ass tricks

Not if they are smart enough to use an RAS!

I’m not ever going to make a simple mitered or simple butt joint drawer. So that’s out of the question full stop. But I like the splined miter and I have and will make it so it’s good to know it’s strong as well. What about the lock rabbet and lock miter? Very common and a bit of mechanical for longevity.

The "free way" needs a laser level? LMAO!

I love the idea of the dowel jig you're using, I went to buy it to make sure to use any affiliate links you have but was shocked to see it's $225-$300?? I just screw around with wood projects occasionally - I don't need to spend that much on a dowel jig. If you had a more reasonably priced affiliate link I would have used that, just FYI 🙂

Homie I'm intimidated by the price tag of owning a home where I could put this, let alone the cost of making one LOL but I love this design it's real good.

And for those of us without huge muscles (I’m 70), there are wonderful small size circular saws out there. I love mine. Very doable!

How do you keep dust/dirt/shavings out of the linear guides? That’s why I hate the T-track on my existing cabinet…
