In my last YouTube video, I've shown you 5 tricks In my last YouTube video, I've shown you 5 tricks for better glue-ups. Here you can see me using alignment aids to keep the panels flush. The star of the show was for sure the @besseytool_official KRE parallel clamp! ⁠ Speaking of Bessey and the KRE: Next week I will be at Bessey's headquarters, take a look at the production of the clamps and hold a live stream for you (in German AND English) with their product trainer!.⁠ 🇩🇪 German stream: 15.6.22 9-9:45 AM CEST⁠ 🇬🇧 English stream: 15.6.22 11-11:45 AM CEST⁠ Sign up for the live stream (link in my story) and see their awesome clamps in action.⁠ If you have any questions about their parallel clamps let me know and we will try to answer them in the live stream.⁠ ⁠ Ad, Werbung ----⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #besseytools⁠ #besseyclamps⁠ #woodworkersofinsta⁠ #woodworkingmachinery⁠ #woodworkingprojects⁠ #moderncraftsman⁠ #cabinetmakers⁠ #cabinetry⁠ #cabinets⁠ #cabinetmaker⁠ #cabinetmaking⁠ #woodworkingtool⁠ #customwoodworking⁠ #shopproject⁠ #shopgoals⁠ #bestigwoodworking⁠ #woodworkingforall⁠ #woodworkingcommunity⁠ #craftworkhop
Router Table Build part 6⁠ Hinges & Drawer Front Router Table Build part 6⁠ Hinges & Drawer Fronts⁠ ----⁠ Many Euro hinges come with a handy paper template that you can use to lay out all the necessary hole locations. I did that and realised I bought the wrong hinges. They make the door flush with the outside of the cabinet but I needed them to end in the center of the side boards thickness. The drawer box fronts would be on the other half. It was a sunday and a trip to the hardware store was not possible. I made some spacers out of plywood and said that I would get the right hinges later. I will probably never do that...⁠ Then I used the old playing card trick to space the drawer fronts and screwed them on. ⁠ To attach the acrylic glass to the door I used construction glue.⁠ I had a bunch of Oak offcuts that made great drawer handles and screwed them on as well.⁠ A quick clear coat of finish and the cabinet was ready to go.⁠ The plug of the router motor had to go and I routed the cables in the inside of the cabinet to the main switch. ⁠ The last sequence is me installing the LED lights for the inside of the cabinet. Totally unnecessary, but somehow cool.⁠ -⁠ -⁠ Follow me to see the next video and many more woodworking projects: @bauwoodworks⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ #woodisgood #woodworkingideas #woodworkingshop #plywood #cabinetmaking #woodworkingproject #tablesaw #woodworkersofinsta #woodworkingmachinery #router #routertable #plywooddesign #cabinetshop #woodworkingdesign #woodworkingprojects #moderncraftsman #woodworkingskills #woodworkingtips #cabinetmakers #cabinetry #cabinets #cabinetmaker #cabinetmaking #woodworkingtool #customwoodworking #woodshop #shopproject #woodshoplife #shopgoals #igwoodworkingcommunity⁠
Router Table Build part 5⁠ Router lift & Table t Router Table Build part 5⁠ Router lift & Table top⁠ ----⁠ As the top I chose a 21mm baltic birch ply with white melamine on both sides. To prevent chip out I covered the areas that will be routed into with painters tape.⁠ The router lift plate had 6mm radiuses on the corners and by using a 12mm bit the corners would fit easily.⁠ I used offcuts with tape around it as spacers that account for the busing on the router base, to set up the @festool_deuschland MFS multi routing template (ad).⁠ After routing the outer perimeter, I drilled holes to insert the jig saw and saw out the rest.⁠ The fit for the plate is pretty snug and maybe a little bit tight.⁠ -⁠ In the next video I show you how I've installed the euro hinges and the drawer fronts.⁠ -⁠ Follow me to see the next video and many more woodworking projects: @bauwoodworks⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ #festool #festooldeutschland #festooldomino #festoolme #festoolfan #festoolfriday #festooltracksaw #festool_world #festoolusa #woodisgood #woodshop #bestigwoodworking #woodworkingforall #woodworkingideas #woodworkingshop #plywood #cabinetmaking #woodworkingproject #tablesaw #woodworkersofinsta #woodworkingmachinery #router #routertable #plywooddesign #cabinetshop #woodworkingdesign #woodworkingprojects #moderncraftsman⁠
Router Table Build part 4⁠ Acrylic glass & Black Router Table Build part 4⁠ Acrylic glass & Black color⁠ ----⁠ To route the recess for the acrylic glass panel into the door frame I pulled out the MFS multi routing template. I set it up and made quick work of it.⁠ I gave the cabinet a quick 220 grid sanding and when sanding the drawer fronts edges I ganged them up in order to not round over the corners and save some time.⁠ With OSMO's (ad) Wood Wax (3169) I turned the cabinet and drawer fronts black!⁠ -⁠ In the next video I show you how I've installed the router lift.⁠ -⁠ Follow me to see the next video and many more woodworking projects: @bauwoodworks⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ #woodisgood #woodshop #bestigwoodworking #woodworkingforall #woodworkingideas #woodworkingshop #plywood #cabinetmaking #woodworkingproject #tablesaw #woodworkersofinsta #woodworkingmachinery #woodworkings #cabinetmaker #router #routertable #plywooddesign #woodworkerofinsta #woodworkercommunity #woodworkingcommunity #woodworkinglife #woodworkerofinstagram #wooddesign #craftworkhop #shopproject #cabinetshop #woodworkingdesign #woodworkingprojects #moderncraftsman⁠
Router Table Build part 3⁠ Drawer Boxes & Glue-u Router Table Build part 3⁠ Drawer Boxes & Glue-up⁠ ----⁠ To make the drawer boxes I pulled out the Domino Station and routed all the slots. I really like that jig and it enables you to bring the workpiece to the Domino instead of the other way around.⁠ The box bottoms are screwed on and make sure the box ends up square.⁠ Installing the drawer slides was pretty forward. I used a 12mm offcut to get the spacing just right. This way I worked my way through the drawer boxes.⁠ -⁠ In the next video I show you how I've installed the acrylic glass and painted the cabinet black.⁠ -⁠ Follow me to see the next video and many more woodworking projects: @bauwoodworks⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ #instawoodworkers #woodisgood #dowoodworking #woodshop #bestigwoodworking #woodworkingforall #woodworkingideas #woodworkingshop #cabinetmaking #plywood #cabinetmaking #woodworkingproject #tablesaw #woodworkersofinsta #woodworkingmachinery #woodworkings #woodworkingwednesday #tracksaw #cabinetmaker #router #routertable #plywooddesign #woodworkerofinsta #woodworks #woodworkercommunity #woodworkingcommunity #woodworkinglife #diywoodworking #woodworkerofinstagram⁠
Router table build part 2⁠ Joinery and glue-up⁠ ----⁠ For the joinery I took out the @festool_deutschland Domino and made quick work of it. Using the extension wings on it, makes the process soo much faster. I was really hesitant to use them but once I did, it made the process super quick. Give it a try, too!⁠ The glue-up was straight forward. Glue in the holes, Dominos in, assemble it and clamp it tight with the @besseytool_official ⁠ -⁠ In the next video I will show you how I made the drawer boxes.⁠ -⁠ Follow me for more woodworking projects: @bauwoodworks⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ #woodisgood #woodshop #bestigwoodworking #woodworkingforall #woodworkingideas #woodworkingshop #plywood #cabinetmaking #woodworkingproject #tablesaw #woodworkersofinsta #woodworkingmachinery #woodworkings #cabinetmaker #router #routertable #plywooddesign #woodworkerofinsta #woodworkercommunity #woodworkingcommunity #woodworkinglife #woodworkerofinstagram #wooddesign #craftworkhop #shopproject #cabinetshop #woodworkingdesign #woodworkingprojects #moderncraftsman
Router table build part 1⁠ Cutting the plywood ⁠ ----⁠ Finally, it was time to build a new router table! Luckily I bought the plywood before the prices skyrocketed. I pulled them out of the garage and used my @festool_deutschland (advertisement) STM 1800 and the TSC55 cordless saw to cut the sheets to a rough size. The STM makes it so easy and convenient to work with full sheets on a comfortable working height.⁠ Down in my shop I cut all parts to the final size on the table saw.⁠ -⁠ In the next video, I will show you how I made the joinery for the router table and glued it all up.⁠ -⁠ Follow me for more woodworking projects: @bauwoodworks⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ #instawoodworkers #woodisgood #dowoodworking #woodshop #bestigwoodworking #woodworkingforall #woodworkingideas #woodworkingshop #cabinetmaking #plywood #cabinetmaking #woodworkingproject #tablesaw #woodworkersofinsta #woodworkingmachinery #woodworkings #woodworkingwednesday #tracksaw #cabinetmaker #router #routertable #plywooddesign #woodworkerofinsta #woodworks #woodworkercommunity #woodworkingcommunity #woodworkinglife #diywoodworking #woodworkerofinstagram
Let's be REAL! 👊🏼⁠ -⁠ Woodworking can be Let's be REAL! 👊🏼⁠ -⁠ Woodworking can be a pretty solitary hobby/profession. Most of the time, we, as woodworkers, spend a decent amount of time in our basement or garage with no contact to other people, and hence social distancing might be quite normal as a woodworker. ⁠ Last weekend I've been at the Leimholzfestival, where we, a group of seven woodworking guys and gals met up, built stuff, had a great time, and might have done a stupid thing or two along the way 😜(more about that in the next posts. Sneak peek in the last picture...).⁠ To be honest, this weekend made me realize how much I've missed woodworking with other people and how awesome it can be! ⁠💚 Thanks for the invitation, your hospitality, and the great time 🥰 : @brett_pit_woodworks @jo_himself @newmacdesigns @sabo.craft @sp1k3s_woodshed @polli_trees and credits for the fabulous photos: @wintersonnenblende⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ Follow me to see more: @bauwoodworks⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ -⁠ #instawoodworkers #woodisgood #dowoodworking #woodworkers #woodworkingporn #woodshop #woodworkerofinsta #bestigwoodworking #holzwerken #woodworkingforall #woodworkingideas #woodworks #woodprojects #woodworkercommunity #woodworkingcommunity #woodworkerproblems #makersgonnamake #powertools #powertoolsarefun #diyprojects #powertool #woodworkingfun #sawdust #woodworkerlife #woodworkersofinstagram #woodworkinglove #woodworkingtools #heimwerken #woodworkinglife #diywoodwork⁠ ⁠
