The Tools


The instruments I used on this video are undoubtedly “excessive-finish” together with the JDS Multi-Router and the Festool Domino. Whereas the Domino has made quite a few appearances on the present, the Multi-Router is making its debut. Most people aren’t going to have the ability to justify the price of both software so relaxation assured that normal mortise and tenon joints (which I’ve proven you find out how to make quite a few occasions) will suffice. Actually, the plans I’ve included present commonplace mortise and tenon joints as an alternative of unfastened tenons as proven within the video.

Assembly of an Oneida Dust Gorilla Pro Cyclone Dust Collector

What Happened To ClearVue? Before we get into the assembly of an Oneida Dust Gorilla Pro cyclone dust collector, let’s address the elephant in the room: what happened to the ClearVue? Just like my table saw, I took the move to Colorado as an opportunity to try something new.
