It seems I was in need of a dado jig for my router for some upcoming projects, so I decided to put one together and share it with other woodworkers. I hope you enjoy my short and to the point video!

The Ultimate Shop Stool
Check out this easy to build shop stool! Not only is it a great place to sit in the woodworking shop but it also can serve as an extra hand for great outfeed support.
These plans used to be free but now they charge for them! How silly?!?! I'm so sorry everyone but maybe I can get another video out describing the dimensions and things in more detail? click here to go to American Woodworker's page on it.

How to build a Folding Stick Chair
Draft
This chair is a fairly simple build, although it does take a fair amount of time to cut the parts and drill the holes in all of them, but after that's done it's pretty simple. The design sparked my interest and I figured I would make one or two of them, I'm glad I did, they turned out great!
IMG of Chair
There are plans for this chair in a few places online, some will cost you some will be free but are difficult to understand or navigate through due to ads and whatnot. I hope to provide you with a straight forward and easy to follow how to guide!
Have a look at my short video to get the what all the project entails and understand how everything works. You will find the details and dimensions of the pieces below the video.
All of the pieces are cut out of 2x4 stock, they are all 1 1/4" x 1 1/2".
All holes are drilled on the wider 1 1/2" side of each piece and also centered across the piece.

Easy Door Frame Rot Repair
My future father-in-law's back door was starting to rot at the bottom and he asked me about it. He said he wanted to know if he needed a whole new door. I told him I could just patch it up with some epoxy putty and he looked at me a little funny. Once the job was done, he was pleasantly surprised at how good it looked and he was surely glad he didn't have to buy a new door.
I made a video on the method I used, maybe you could use it too!

Installing a Router Plate in a Router Table
Since I did a video on my Mobile Router Table one of my Youtube subscribers asked me to do a video showing how I cut the hole for the router plate to sit down into. Have look and see how it's done!
The router plate I used is a Kreg Precision Plate and it's probably one of the best router plates out there for the best price, alot of positive reviews on it. Any other router plate would install basically the same way though.
Details on the Leveling Screws-
To install the leveling screws, just drill a hole a little smaller in diameter than the bolt itself and then carefully thread the bolt into the hole. The threads of the bolt should grab onto the wood and hold fairly well, if it goes out of wack it's simple to adjust later. Any size screw will do, I just used some spare ones's I have laying around.
Thanks for visiting and be sure to come back for more!
