How to make a simple wooden box using rebate joints and using a minimal amount of tools, only 3 inexpensive power tools were used and a few clamps

  • I'm not sure I agree with the sanding of that joint at 1:03. Once that lap is cut, advance the piece and pass it tansversely across the blade for a consistent surface. Plus, at 0:43, repeated at 1:13, you're doing the cuts in the reverse order. Using the square and the fence for that first cut is a dangerous technique that no pro would do. At 1:56, what the heck are you doing? By the way, it's RABBET, not rebate. Please don't post any more videos. You're going to get someone hurt.

  • @TomKaren1994 jesus i'll need a mug of tea for this one,

    First, at 1:03, that was a sample piece, also sawblades were not meant to have pieces moved across them.

    Second, i dont see how 0:43 and 1:13 is dangerous

    Third, at 1:56 i am sanding some wood

    Its a rebate in Europe, not rabbet

    (No need for caps lock, i can see your comment just fine)

    People hurt themselves, I dont hurt anyone, dont expect to be able to sue me if you get hurt.

  • @TomKaren1994 And whats up with the no show on the channel?

  • I enjoyed the music with the video...who is the artist?

  • it hasnt got much room inside though has it..

  • @IrishWoodDoctor You obviously have little experience if you don't know why your technique at 0:43 and 1:13 is dangerous. Ever hear of "kickback?" Make the cuts from the end of the board in to the shoulder cut, not the other way around. Your sanding of the joint like that leads to humping... fine if you're building a flower box for the garden, but not much else. As far as me getting hurt... 40 years in the shop and not a single injury. Good luck, "lefty."

  • the music wasnt bad. but the technique was questionable. if your showing how to do this type of thing with inexpensive tools. why not toss in a router table to clean up the lap joints? also, glue... you don't need nearly 1/8th of the amount of glue you poured on those joints, if the surfaces are true, it only takes enough to wet the surface. brush a little on both mating surfaces of the joint then clamp. proper glue joints are stronger than the wood they join. flooded joints fail easily.

  • @IrishWoodDoctor Why not?
