I would love to build something like this! Great stuff!! Any more info. would be greatly appreciated!!

[woodentoolcompany]

@monstrol You know I was thinking today that I should post a video showing how to make this beast. I just hate to give up my secrets!

[akquicksilver]

I saw the video you previously posted making the joints and I would love for you to post that again as well as show how you build this beast.

[woodentoolcompany]

@akquicksilver Thumbs up are what get more video's! LOts of thumbs up and I get crazy and show more! Then Wooden Tool Company will go just like this rig LOL! Hope your having fun watching.

holy crap, when i saw that log at the begining i thought you were insane, just a few mins. later i figured out you are a genious. very very nice. do you have plans for it? also is it pretty heavy after a while, or since you're sliding it on the guide not so much?

[woodentoolcompany]

@Skeebled The way I got this set up it is real light to handle...The router floats on springs so I more have to push down rather than lift it up. I understand why you thought I was insane LOL! You think this is bad you wanna see some of my other vid's with this rig. This stick was nothing! Sorry no plans yet but if enough people show interest I would concider spending the time to make a set ready. Leave a thumbs up or a comment if your interested in building one of these.

question :

it seems you ask a lot of work from your bit.

[korsikanec99]

Nice smell of wood in there I think !

[handygibby1]

I would love to have plans for this would you make them available soon???? Great work.

[Beastmasterbrett]

yea thumbs up, let's see some plans. or make a dvd video of step by step construction of it and sell the dvd with plans for $30.

Nice work mate...please share your secrets, this would be a nice addition to my lathe...cheers!!!

[HarveyWysong]

@woodentoolcompany This really is an ingenious machine. Like @Skeebled, I didn't think that piece of wood was good for much more than a camp fire. If you ever decide to make the design available, I'll be grateful.

[grebnel1]

really good tool, you make it look so easy to use and lots of fun. I would love to build one myself, are there plans for it yet. great idea, regards Paul

[bucksnort3d]

I really like what you've done and would also give you the thumbs up and like wise would like plans for it too. Great job Don

[LarGrin]

Fantastic. Very clever.

[ockteby]

That is amazing.

[MrMldillman]

Looks like you've really tuned in the floating router since the last time I stopped by...That's friggin' awesome! Keep up the great work...

[OnSPop]

Awesome! What drill/router bit is that? What router?

[MtnWing]

Your work is fascinating. I found myself mesmerized while watching this video.

[woodentoolcompany]

@srslyusuck YOu should see what else it will do! Finger joints, mortise and tenon, it does it all!

[srslyusuck]

that rig is freaking awesome!

[Caleb6543]

Nice. Could you replace the cutting tool with a cylindrical sanding tool and use your set-up to put a nice finish on the piece too?
