The Other Sofa Table
I seriously forget how much I enjoy building tables, so when a dear friend asked about a sofa table I jumped at the opportunity.
This project was about as simple as they get when it comes to tables. Four, double-tapered legs, with a straight apron and beveled top.
The most difficult part of the project was routing the bevel on the ends of the top, but with the help of a hand plane, that was adjusted in no time.

Sofa Tray Table
Переглядів 3,3 тис.4 роки тому
Nothing is worse than sitting down in the middle of the couch to watch your favorite show and suddenly realize you’ll have to stretch across to an end table to set your drink or snack down. Wouldn’t a moveable little tray table be the perfect item right about then? I did too, so I made one just so I can keep from pulling something while sitting around doing nothing.
Spline Jig for Narrow Stock
Переглядів 1,4 тис.4 роки тому
Miter joints are beautiful, but sometimes they can benefit from a little reinforcement to keep them together. Even with mechanical options such as biscuits, dowels, and possibly even screws or nails, a potentially eye-catching option might be to cut slots across the joint and insert a spline. For a recent project, I needed a jig to cut splines in narrow stock, so rather than building a big sled...
Figured Maple Key Hanger
Переглядів 1,5 тис.4 роки тому
“WHERE’S MY KEYS?” is probably the most common question asked in the Vanderlist household, next to “Did you say TACOS?” Since scrap wood projects are some of the best, especially with something as beautiful as the figured maple I used for this project, I was pretty excited to find a great use for it. For certain, this is a project that can be knocked out in no time at all, and is a great idea f...
The Storage Shelf Box Thingee
Переглядів 1,5 тис.4 роки тому
With the shoe bench built and in place, it became obvious really quickly we needed some more organization in the back room. Once again I grabbed some stock from the maple stash and decided to build…a box…a box to store some wicker baskets that will hold all sorts of items that seem to just get put somewhere I usually can’t find them. For this project we kept the joinery super simple using nothi...
Resawing Thick Stock with a Tablesaw
Переглядів 14 тис.4 роки тому
I have a bandsaw capable of resawing most of the stock I work with, but occasionally I have pieces wider than it can accommodate. While I have an auxiliary extension for the bandsaw to increase its capacity, it’s time consuming to install, and even then it’s sometimes more of a hassle than it’s worth. In about the same time it would take to set everything up (even with the extension already in ...
561 The Shoe Bench
Переглядів 2,3 тис.4 роки тому
There's nothing like scratching two things off your to-do list with a single effort. In this case it's replacing a real eye-sore of a project (that wasn't as helpful as originally thought.) and also another way to use up some old stock that's just been taking up space for far too long. This version of a shoe bench is great not only because it can store more pairs than the old one, but in additi...
Angled Half Lap on the Tablesaw - sneak peek from "The Shoe Bench"
Переглядів 11 тис.4 роки тому
There are several ways to create a half-lap joint, and I can't claim proficiency at any of them. So when my latest project not only required the joint, but it also had to be angled, it's safe to say I was trying to think of any and every other joinery alternative I could use. Regardless, sometimes you just can't find a replacement for what just works.
560 Benched
Переглядів 2,5 тис.4 роки тому
Who doesn’t have a hodgepodge of wood species sitting around their shop? For certain I do, and sometimes I wish I could swap one piece for another to create a project. In reality, we already mix species in a number of our projects anyways, so why should this one be any different? Sure continuity is important, but sometimes we can make allowances and just work with what we have. In this situatio...
559 Dice Tower and Tray
Переглядів 16 тис.6 років тому
Anyone who plays games involving dice there’s two things you always encounter; 1) they inevitably go flying off the tabletop, or 2) someone claims you threw them in a way that meant you were cheating. Aside from building a gaming table with raised sides like a craps table in Vegas your options can be limited on how to fix the problem. A quick little project I built to help keep the dice in play...
558 Utensil Drawer Organizer "Forks, spoons and knives...oh my!"
Переглядів 17 тис.7 років тому
It’s easy to be inspired in the kitchen to make something, and I’m not just referring to food either (okay, maybe I am just a little.) Items for use in the kitchen are popular projects, not only with our spouses but often with family and friends. My wife Samantha has a long list of things she’d like built to help her keep things organized in the kitchen, and at the top of her list is to get rid...
557 The New Workbench is Here!
Переглядів 26 тис.7 років тому
For years I've been saying I was going to build a new workbench for the basement workshop, and after just as many years of not doing it, it's finally happened! The "design" of the bench is simple, and the dimensions are perfect for a smaller shop like mine considering the goal turned from making a monster bench like we've seen in magazines, or elsewhere and instead turned to constructing someth...

555 A simple planer sled
Переглядів 100 тис.8 років тому
For the past several months while I've been on the road for work my wife Samantha has been tackling a kitchen project. I've been helping out where, and when I could, but for the most part it was all her sweat and effort going into it (and before anyone asks, no, I didn't build any cabinets or new doors for the kitchen.) In fact, aside from removing a small partition wall, along with tearing out...
554 Small bowl for holding stuff

I can't believe this is happening to me, but I'm getting bit by the turning bug and it's obvious it's contagious! Now that my time in the shop is currently less than it use to be, I really want to be able to knock out a project or two from start to finish, and the lathe is probably one of the one tools where this is entirely possible. In today's episode I'm literally turning some scrap maple in...

How many letters does each size come with? Like I want to make a word: OFF. Is there 2 FF's? Thanks
25:25 - Very nice, Don. Love that.
The dovetails are the direction they are, because they resist the force of the open leaf on the fixed leaf.
Well done! I just purchased the Whiteside's 9500 Solid Brass Inlay Kit.
all talk and no action
This video said nothing about whether a brake was installed or not
If you mean the brake cartridge. Yes it is. This is to show you how to bypass that. So if you say cutting wet lumber putting it in the bypass mode keeps the wet material from triggering the brake cartridge. But be careful of fingers because your vulnerable while doing this.
@@billybleedscrimsonblood9478 TY
Thank you Matt for such an informative video. I have 2 Walnut rings that are about the same size as the 2 you were working on and they are next in line for sanding and finishing. Where are you at in Michigan? (The T-shirt) I am in Traverse City.
Thank you brother
Ps, drat, now I’ve got to watch all your videos again doh lol oh well :)
So good to find your vids still up here Matt, so very cool. I do hope and pray sincerely that you and your wonderful family are doing incredibly well and are being blessed day by day. From when woodtalk began a few months before I first started listening aah how long ago now lol and I went back and listened to the first 10 or so episodes then got totally hooked, then started going through all of yours and Matt’s videos and then Shannon when he arrived, through the sad for us, glad for you time when you left the show to get on with your life with your family and from then right up until I lost my wife to leukaemia in ‘20, and through that time, you guys taught me so much wisdom and such fine techniques that you created in me a half decent fine woodworker. Maybe running into you today is Jesus telling me to get back to doing what you taught me to enjoy so very much. Not for any further compliments I may ever receive for the things I make, but simply because I’ve been given a gift and taught an amazing trade by the finest teachers and woodworkers I could ever have been exposed to. Toss in the new Matt, hey, from tree to fine cabinet, that hurts as far as setting the bar lol, one day lol, add in Rob Cosman and most definitely James Hamilton of Stumoy Nubs fame, what a cool guy and so sharp, reminds me of you in so very many ways. Anyway, thanks Matt, I do pray you and yours are well in these tumultuous times and if you’re ever down under, give us a yell, take care, Phil 😎👍
Love this build!
That last cut seemed extremely dangerous.
I had to cut some aluminum backed with foam today and this video made it so easy to understand how to work the bypass in order to cut the board. I read the instructions in the Saw Stop book but your video made it all perfectly clear. Thank you so much.
I have the Kreg Multi-Mark. But I never use it. Why? Because the square is not accurate!
I just ordered one. Thanks.
A great review, thanks very helpful.
As a carpenter I bought the stanley thru tang chisel in set , in construction work you never know what you will get in to. If your going to buy 3 chisels my as well buy a set.
Do you need to keep the router at a certain speed?
Very good explanation. Thanks. I think I’ll try one of these kits.
Hello, nice video. Why the bit is down cut if we need upcut?
Super genius guy, he did a Tetris on this tools X-D
Fucking useless. The thought of the bypass system was the one thing that kept me thinking about holding my nose and purchasing from the shady company. Knowing the hoops I have to jump through for each and every cut it's an even hard fucking no for me. Stop being lazy about safety people and you won't need gimmicks that don't even stop the source of the vast majority of tablesaw injuries.
great idea. Matt... Greetings from Pakistan 🤩🤩
what depth was router bit?
Woodglut is nice for that.
Woodglut has very good and accurate woodworking plans.
To much waffling ..
Greetings from Australia Just discovered your channel and subscribed. I love the variety of topics and projects you create and will go back and watch more videos. Your workshop is a great backdrop for your videos and the spline jig is so simple. Regards One Handed Maker
you're using your stones from the wrong side
Climbing cut is a bitch. It's not body position, it's direction of a cut, blade hit the corner and ripped the router out of your hand.
Another product Made in China.
I certainly like the K5 better than the 720. But that's me.
Does Lee Valley still carry this clamp? What is it listed under?
Great video! Thanks
Can you use this on a low angle plane?
I’m sold
I bought a UNIBASE and you screw the bushings on it , not turn junk as those or Craftsman base plate the plastic wear out not the Unibase bushings.
Forgive my lack of attention if you already addressed the following, but the plank you were planing for cupboards is 6inch thick. Do you have access to a wood mill to make horizontal cuts in think planks or did you use the wood as a thick plank for the cupboards?
I have a WEN Model RT6033 plunge router. NONE of the holes in the baseplate are anywhere near fitting this base - what to do? Do you have different base plate which will work? Thank you!
Thank you for your video. I have been looking for a video that could not only explain it but also show how to use it. I have a project that I want to do with this type of bit. Again, thank you.
I am desperately trying to find a video or something on making a display for my gemstone eggs and spheres. I want to make various size crescent cuts in wood slices that will hold the gems. My eggs are all different sizes. I have an idea of what I want and bought an inexpensive router and Baihens 1/4 Inch Shank Cove Box Router Bit Set Solid Double Flute Nose Bits. Help?
What size round over Bit would you use on .5 thickness board?
That's like 20 minutes from my home town and I had no idea 😒
Show, don’t tell. Please
im hoping someone can help me,,i activated the brake on my contractor saw stop yesterday and today i put the new brake cartridge on and set it up exactly the way saw stop tell you too using the yellow guage and when you go to start it,,it kicks off,,then the green light starts blinking,,and i have trying to get it closer than the guage says but im at my limit according to what the book says,,,but it still kicks off,,can anyone possible help me
Reboot the system. Unplug the saw from the power source for about ten minutes. While the power is unpluged, turn the power switch and start switch on to drain any voltage that might be stored in the system electronics. Turn both switches back off again. Plug the cord in again and start up as usual.
I would put blue tape over the spacer letter. I know myself tool well and I would end up with an upside down T in the middle of my sign... doh!
Newbie Woodworker had a very similar accident. I don't have a trim router, but it's good to be aware of what can happen with them, before I get one.
use tape with C A glue , ut a piece of tape on the sled then put a piece on the shim where its going to be glued and apply the glue to the tape and then it just peels right off
At 3:31 you said it '' they come loose'' I'm looking for a router that the bushing don't come loose. mine came loose and ruined my 1/2 bit and plate, any idea which router that can keep the bushing from not coming loose, beside using lock tite or plumbers tape?
Thanks for keeping this out there Matt!
