John Heisz - I Build It

Videos on woodworking and workshop related projects.
Check out my website for hundreds of cool projects: https://ibuildit.ca/

Me and my shop are in Ontario, Canada. I'm a carpenter by trade and have worked in commercial construction since 1985.

Concerning my videos:
I can't and won't cover (or follow) every safety rule when doing a project, and it's not my responsibility to train the people that watch my videos. It is up to them to learn, understand and follow the safety rules concerning the tools they choose to work with.
My videos are not comprehensive tutorials - they are a look at how I did the project and should be viewed as entertainment or a source of inspiration.

That's what I was going to do in the first place, before I noticed the V-groove bit. The V-groove bit takes longer to make the cuts, though, and router bits get dull a lot faster than blades. While it takes some time to cut the folding miters, it takes no time at all to assemble - just fold and tape the miters. This method would work just as well for larger drawers made from thicker plywood, but you'd want to use that dado blade instead of the router bit to speed things up. ▶️ Project plans for sale: https://ibuildit.ca/plans/ ▶️Support the work I do on Locals: https://ibuildit.locals.com/ ▶️ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=865843&ty=h ▶️ Join my Makers Mob for detailed build tutorials: https://go.themakersmob.com/john-heisz-i-build-it/?via=ibuildit My "Scrap bin" channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/IBuildItScrapBin #ibuildit #woodworking Website: https://ibuildit.ca/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/I-Build-It-258048014240900/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/i_build_it.ca/
Easiest way to Make Small Drawers - Woodworking

Before you get in a big hysterical panic about how dangerous this is - or more correctly how dangerous you THINK it is - I should tell you that I got this idea from Fine Woodworking magazine published in the 1980's. Go scream at them :) Seriously, it's spinning at around the same speed as it would be on a bench grinder and still has a guard (under the saw) much like that does. It's a little more open on top but this isn't and would not be for heavy duty grinding. It's for sharpening which is light grinding. An insert for the table saw that fits neatly around the wheel is a good idea. That said, if you do decide to do this, it's YOUR responsibility. If something goes wrong, you are to blame - no one forced you to do it and if you think it's not safe don't do it. Anyway, it works great. I was able to sharpen 5 sets of knives for my jointer and planer and that's a total replacement cost of over $300. The planer knives are the disposable types that aren't made to be sharpened, but I've found that you can sharpen these at least once and more, depending on how much you need to grind off to restore the edge. Taking it to the next level on the stone and then stropping is optional, but doesn't take long and seems to be worth it. At a minimum you need to get rid of the wired edge that grinding produces. ▶️ Project plans for sale: https://ibuildit.ca/plans/ ▶️Support the work I do on Locals: https://ibuildit.locals.com/ ▶️ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=865843&ty=h ▶️ Join my Makers Mob for detailed build tutorials: https://go.themakersmob.com/john-heisz-i-build-it/?via=ibuildit My "Scrap bin" channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/IBuildItScrapBin #ibuildit #woodworking Website: https://ibuildit.ca/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/I-Build-It-258048014240900/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/i_build_it.ca/
Grinding on the Table Saw? Let's Try it

A new and greatly improved version of the router jig I made in a previous video. This one is easier to make and more solidly built. It also has guide wings that the base of the router fits on that line up exactly with the recess you need to cut. And yet there's more! It has rulers to make a recess cut to the perfect size quickly and accurately.

Join the Makers Mob for just 99 cents for a limited time: 99¢ Woodworking Sale: https://rlnk.cc/jh99cwoodworkingsale This is the new version of an older idea - a ready to use track for making accurate crosscuts on the table saw using a cordless saw. It swings down over the stock that needs to be cut and is self adjusting. When it's not needed, it swings up against the wall out of the way. I still need to make a clamping system for smaller panels (especially angled cuts) and an outfeed table for support under the track. ▶️ Project plans for sale: https://ibuildit.ca/plans/ ▶️Support the work I do on Locals: https://ibuildit.locals.com/ ▶️ Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=865843&ty=h ▶️ Join my Makers Mob for detailed build tutorials: https://go.themakersmob.com/john-heisz-i-build-it/?via=ibuildit My "Scrap bin" channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/IBuildItScrapBin #ibuildit #woodworking Website: https://ibuildit.ca/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/I-Build-It-258048014240900/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/i_build_it.ca/
