collinb Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 Anyone besides me watch Woodsmith Shop (PBS/CreateTV)? This season they're doing a quality router table with mortising jig. Looks like a Summer project for me. But I"ll use a different table and concentrate on their mortising attachment. My recent mortising attempt will be converted to this better design. But it needs one change -- the ability to clamp in a board end for mortising. The original design only does sides. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 The Bessey auto adjust toggle clamps they used on that jig work great. You should be able to shift the clamps to one side and rig up a place to hold the board for routing a mortice in the ends. I would just use a roller stand to support the other end of a long board. I wonder what the hardware for that morticing sled costs and where the hand wheel was sourced from ? I would watch that show more often if the guys had better personalities. Everything is so deadpan deliveries and lacks passion. Don just needs to get a personality and remove that stick........ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new2woodwrk Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 I can never find the listing for that show on my network - Dish - I get pbs but have only seen the show advertised once:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 Try " ontvtonight.com " for local listings. If you sign up it's pretty easy to select all the channels you get or like and delete all the junky channels that have sprouted up in recent years. You can even select favorite shows and receive an email reminder that a new episode is airing that day. Or does " Dish " use the national PBS feed ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s some pretty decent content but it’s so monotone I lose interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've watched for two years, this is the third. This season is #11. The projects are better. The shows can be streamed from their website.

ClassAct Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 I'd call the Woodsmith crew's delivery matter-of-fact. I much prefer that to over-the-top or waaga-waaga. Too many vloggers think the only way to interest an audience is to talk fast and over-emote. But boy, I could listen to and watch Frank Klausz all day long. I downloaded their router table plans (free, for now) and added it to my one-of-these-days list. Have to get a shop first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do acknowledge that this season the shows have a fuller script, a richer text. The last two felt strained, just a bit. Or maybe it's me more ready to listen.

Not sure of the dish feed, but I know I have not seen the show when doing a search - we used to have comcast cable and that's where I saw the show. The one show I watched was pretty good Thanks for the link, I'll look for it there Searched for the show, not available in my area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
