@jdgceg I have all sorts of squares, the ones I use the most are the combination squares , and the planes for the most part are the Woddriver ones from woodcraft, I really like the lowangle knuckle one they have, its my go to plane for fine fitting, and the number 4 is my all around bench plane, for general purpose, the squares also came from WC.. they work well,,,

I see you using a square and hand planes. When looking at the stores, and online, these tools go from cheap to very expensive, and everything in between. Any recommendations? I'm not a professional...what should I be looking for and how much should I expect to spend for a square and plane?

Thanks for the great information!

@bkedp  I agree the title is decieving about the amount of content... but such decisions are not left to me.. :)

@dkennedy1730 the infeed and out feed rollers press down and push the material forward, in this thought the front cleat makes sense, then it engauges the cutter head, which is cutting against the feed direction, and with alot more speed and inertia , how about we just put a cleat on both ends,, seesm like the easiest way to be sure .. good to hear from you....

Charles,

When using the planer jig, I have always fed the cleat end first. Since the rollers in the planer are pushing the piece through, it seemed to me that having the cleat on the leading edge made more sense... I know that is the exact opposite of every other jig I've ever used, but in this unique instance the work piece is used to push, not the jig. I don't rely on the friction between the piece and the jig to hold it together, rather use the cleat.

Excellent video. I watched your video because I intend to build a Pie Safe similar to the one my grandmother had in her home but your video turned out to be one of the best overall woodworking educational videos I've seen. You cover topics which can be applied to any project and not just a Pie Safe. I think you would get more views if you changed your title to stress this fact. Thanks for making it available!
