hey folks how you guys doing hope you
are all having a great day today this
video is a rather long video and while I
encourage you all to watch the entire
video I understand that not everybody
has that much time so just know that you
can press the little gear icon somewhere
on YouTube and change the playback speed
to one and a half two times speed
whichever you need to kind of get a
little bit more of the video in less
amount of time if you choose to do so
the whole video is about using this
panto router to make the panto router a
cart to make this entire setup and an
all-inclusive very convenient ready to
use joinery station really the hybrid
panthro router if you're not familiar
with it it is a fantastic machine for
all kinds of joinery you may have seen
this used with mortise and tenon joinery
most commonly but it's not just that you
can do mortise and Tenon's variable
space dovetails or box joints dowel
joints bowtie diamond templates any
template that you put up here is a two
to one reduction that can be cut precise
on here and with various stops it's very
very repeatable now that may have just
sound like a sales pitch for the machine
I have nothing to gain or lose whether
you do or do not buy this machine I
don't make any money on their sales and
I'm not being paid to make this video
but I do have plans available for this
particular card so if you're interested
in that I'll have a link to my website
where you can purchase these plans and
if you want to show your support with
for what I'm doing without spending a
dime then just watch my stuff on my
website rather than on YouTube so with
that being said let's get into this
pretty long video I only have three
hours of shop time today so I want to
get all of the lumber cut or all the
pieces cut for the frame every bit of
the frame is going to be cut out of
regular two-by-four material here at the
miter saw all these pieces can be
crosscut to a rough length and these are
some pretty rough two by fours I didn't
really take my time to get some really
nice ones simply because I doesn't
really matter that much for defects
throughout the length of the board just
so long as there are no defects no major
knots
at the ends of my pieces where the
joinery will be alright so those four
two by fours are cut into four front to
back sides left right top bottom front
to back pieces and then four corner
posts four legs whatever you want to
call them and then four structures that
go left and right front back top and
bottom and then also the rest of it
I just cut in half so these are longer
than all three of these pieces and I'm
gonna go ahead and take these through
the milling process as well so that I'll
have some stock that is the exact same
width and thickness as all of my pieces
so that I can use it for testing and
setups and then also if I screw up one
of these which is kind of known to
happen
then I'll have some stock to continue on
with the build that's already the exact
same thickness
[Music]
now the pieces can be cut to their final
lengths
before I get started cutting the joints
I want to walk you through a dry
assembly to show you how this will be
assembled we have a top and bottom short
piece and two vertical pieces per side
assembly so this is obviously laying
flat these pieces will be the vertical
pieces with the Tenon's the horizontal
pieces will be the mortise pieces
so for mortise and tenon joints and
that's how this will be assembled the
side assembly two of them once they are
completely glued together then I can cut
mortises on the back side because this
side right here is facing out so the
mortises will be cut on the other side
and then the two side assemblies will be
connected with a board like so once
again this board will be on the other
side this side is facing out but just
just to give you an idea this board will
be in this orientation connecting the
two side assemblies so for mortise and
tenon joints glue them up and then four
more mortise and tenon joints the thing
is every one of my pieces have the same
thickness so I need to set up the
machine based upon the thickness of all
of my stock regardless of which
orientation they're gonna be in because
all the mortise and tenon joints will be
cut with the tenon flat on the table the
first thing to set on the panel router
is the height of the template holder and
you want the height of this to be
perfectly centered with the height or
thickness of your material that way your
your your joint is cut centered on the
material thickness to do so we have this
stop lock right here that's calibrated
when the machine is initially set up and
this is a scrap block or a off cut of
the same material that I'm working with
so it has the same three inch and one
and a quarter inch dimensions as all of
my other pieces and setting this on top
of the stop lock I can then release the
template holder and let that sit on top
of this material clamp it back down and
now if this goes on to the table this
cut
we'll be perfectly centered vertically
on my material
the next thing to set up is the table
fence and we want this to be positioned
so that the material is centered on the
table every single time so you probably
can't see it but there's a line
scratched on the table which is the
perfect center of the table based upon
the center of the template holder and
there's two scales on this bar over here
the scale closest to the camera is a
one-to-one scale and the scale closest
to me is a two-to-one reduction scale so
I can set my block here and see that it
is indeed three inches so now I need to
line the center of the table to the
two-to-one reduction of three and that
will position my material let me go
ahead and set this really quick now my
material will be perfectly centered on
the table when it's up against the fence
every single time there's two main
takeaways from this machine its
precision and its repeatability the
precision comes from when you set up the
machine properly the first time which is
very easy to do and repeatability comes
from stops and reference phases so long
as you keep track of all your stops in
this case the fence and we've got a
couple stops here on the front of the
table that I'm about to show you and you
keep track of the reference faces up
against those fences as well as the
table then you can batch out a lot of
joints very precise very fast so this
fence naturally allows for perfect
centered Tenon's but we're gonna cut the
mortises first you always want to cut
the mortise first and then size the
tenon to that mortise in this case the
mortise needs to be cut on this face so
we need a couple more stops when the
joint is assembled this side of the
tenon board up against the fence when
they need to be lined with this side of
the mortise board so obviously we use
defense as a stop in that direction so
we we also need to make sure we're not
angled this way when we cut our mortise
so that's where these stops come into
play they're plastic so if the router
bit interacts with them or touches them
it's not going to damage the bit any
these are disposable in that regard they
can get chewed up so I'm going to put
two fence
our two stops on the front side of the
tape
well that will position the material
this way and make sure that every one of
these cuts are in line in the same way
and then pushed up against the fence
that way so now we have three reference
phases that will position our material
every single time the front face on
these stops this end over here up
against the fence and of course the the
face touching the table now the piece
can be clamped in place my mortise piece
is located where it needs to be now I
need to hold it in place these clamps
come with the machine and they slide
into these slots on the table making
holding stuff down really easy so you'll
notice that this fence doesn't go all
the way to the front of the table and
that is so you can get one more clamp
right here in the front and with the
piece positioned up against all of these
stops I'll clamp it in place sometimes
you want a little bit more clamping
pressure than just that but
unfortunately this isn't going to reach
this side of the material at all so the
solution to that is adding a support
piece over here that is about the same
height as your material and then some
type of bridge material to go in between
and now I can put downward pressure onto
the material over here
making a much more stable piece to make
the cut the last thing to do is set the
plunge depth how far you want to go into
the material and I'm gonna remove this
dust collection mustache well brush what
do I want to call it so we can see the
bit and first thing we want to do here
is put the bearing inside the template
so now we have our height established by
the template and if we move the bit up
against the work surface you can see we
have another stop block in this
direction how far do we want to go into
the material well if you have a
specified depth there's a scale here and
you can just set the stop block to that
desired depth on the scale and you'll
know that you'll plunge into that exact
distance this is a through mortise and
tenon joint so all I really need to do
is go through the material I'll be able
to feel that so setting this is not
necessary however I have one and a
quarter inch thick material so I'll just
set it a sixteenth of an inch past that
and there you go I've got the the depth
or the plunge depth set this is your
backstop
for mortises it's not necessary but we
will use it for the Tenon's now I'm
ready to cut and I'll put the dust
collection mustache back on because I
value dust collection more so than
showing you a router bit cutting wood
and we'll make the cut
[Applause]
and I know I'm talking a lot so this may
seem like it's a lot of work but it's
really not it's all reference phases and
a very quick and easy setup
so speaking of reference phases and
setup if these were non through mortise
and tenon if the mortises had a
specified depth they needed to cut
through that same front side of the
board for both mortises and in that case
we would have to reposition the fence so
that this front side stays towards the
router bit and we have a stop over here
we don't have to worry about that
because these are through mortise and
tenon joints 3ya through mortise and
tenon joints so it doesn't matter if we
cut through this side
or if we cut through on this side so
long as these two phases are parallel
and everything is nice and square you're
going to get the same location of the
mortise so on all these I can simply
rotate the piece around and cut the next
mortise with the exact same set up
[Applause]
now it's time to set up for the tendons
and needing to make sure that the front
stops are out of the way so the material
can go past the front of the table
lining up with the fence and sticking
out past the table longer than what your
desired tendon is so I just need a one
and a quarter inch tenon and that's fine
I can bring my clamps back to this side
of the table and then set my plunge
depth once again it's all about stops
and reference faces so we want to set a
stop so that every time we load a new
piece of material for the tenon this
face right here is going to be in the
exact same plane every single time and
we can do that with the backstop on the
the carriage here so if I slide the bit
all the way forward so it touches the
workpiece then I can set this backstop
all the way up against the bottom of the
carriage over here and that means that
this carriage cannot go this way anymore
at all so every time I load a new piece
of material up here to be cut I can
slide the carriage all the way towards
me left in this orientation then slide
the material up against the bit and that
will give me this reference face in the
exact same plane
every single time from there I need to
know how long do I want to make the
tenon well these are through mortise and
tenon joints at one in a quarter-inch
thick material so I'm going to set the
front stop or the plunge stop to one and
one quarters one in one quarter of an
inch so that way once I start cutting my
tenon I can only make it one quarter of
an inch one and one quarter of an inch
based upon this starting point right
here the machine comes with this how-to
guide that has this really handy chart
inside it and for all the mortises we're
using this 10 millimeter guide bearing
inside the templates for all of the
Tenon's well we have a variety of
different options for guide bearings
that we can use so in this case we used
a half inch router bit to create a half
inch wide mortise and we need a 1/2 inch
tenon thickness so for a half inch tenon
thickness and a half inch router bit I
need a 22 millimeter guide bearing so
I'm going to take this 10 millimeter
out and replace it with this 22
millimeter guide bearing as you can see
the perimeter of these templates is
tapered so that the maximum thickness of
the widest point is up against the
template holder and the minimum
thickness of the tenon or the the lowest
point is outside near the front edge
this will this taper allows you to
really dial in a perfect fit for the
tenon so with the bearing all the way up
against the template holder you're gonna
get the thickest tenon possible and go
ahead and make a cut on a piece of scrap
wood if it's too big to fit into the
mortise then you pull the bearing away
from the template holder just a little
bit
lock it down make another cut and do
that as many times as necessary to dial
in the perfect fit that you want for the
mortise and tenon joint once you have
the fit lined up once you have the fit
established I should say then lock this
into place and you can batch out all the
tendons that you need with the exact
same setup
[Music]
right before I glue these together I
want to show you that due to the using
reference phases and stops everything
should fit nice and precise which it
does and it's all compatible with one
another so all the joints are the same
meaning I can spin this around I should
get the same precision off of the
outside reference phases what you do for
it - pretty cool so I'm gonna go ahead
and do a dry assembly with all these
just to make sure everything fits wish
it it should I doubt it though then I'll
take it apart and glue everything up and
come back once these assemblies are dry
[Music]
with both frames glued up I can cut the
mortises on those but I can only cut
half of them before I have to make a
setup change to the machine so let me go
ahead and explain that real quick we
have this this other piece back here so
we can't simply rotate the piece around
and cut from the other face even though
they are through mortise and Tenon's
because well this is in the way we need
to start at this face without this being
in the way therefore instead of rotating
it around I need to move my fence so
that I'm no longer referencing off of
here and instead referencing off of here
because everything is based upon the
centerline of the table that's actually
pretty easy to do so long as you take
into consideration the width width of
your material so this is a scrap block
of wood that is the same dimension as my
material that I'm working with and with
it up against this fence it is perfectly
centered so now instead of referencing
off of this face I need to move the
fence so it's referencing off of this
face an easy way to do that is to move
one of these blocks into place on the
front and now I've created a stop block
on this side of my material stock right
so now I can use this to transfer over
here and move the fence loosen the fence
I'm no longer dealing with this scale
back here slide it into place so that
this side of the fence is now in line
with this stop block that I set make
sure everything is aligned properly now
I can move these front stops to the
other side of the table
making sure they're out of the way which
they are and now I can do the exact same
cut referencing off of the appropriate
side over here
[Music]
[Applause]
it's actually been about a week or so
since I recorded anything about this
cart that's because I put some casters
on the bottom plywood on top panel rot
or on top and started using it and it
got carried away with some other stuff
going on so let me get you caught up
very simple I added four locking swivel
casters to the bottom they work really
well I added a little plywood shelf over
here which this is just two screws one
right there and one right there
underneath I guess I didn't take the
bucket and that's to hold the cyclone
and I still need to trim this plywood
down so that's not a shin grabber right
in the middle I've got a shot back this
is a six horsepower five gallon shop
back and I sized the frame so that it
would just sit in place wedged so
there's nothing holding this in place
other than gravity and it's about I
guess about a half inch off the ground
so the simplest way to install that is
to not make anything to install it but
rather just use the dimensions to your
advantage and I have both the router and
shop back plugged into an eye socket
switch so when the SHA I'm sorry when
the router and the panto router turns on
it'll power the shop vac and have
automatic dust collection that goes into
a 12-gauge extension cord so there's no
electrical needed as far as making your
own circuit and then I put some cheap
hooks over here for the cord so that a
25 foot cord can be wound up really
easily so this just makes the entire
setup extremely convenient to use one
thing to note is you don't want a lot of
pressure on this dust collection hose
this shot by post because this is
plastic and you don't want to be pulling
down constantly and potentially break
this off long term so I have it just
draped over and have nice sweeping
curves nothing tight this is just
sitting in place I thought about zip
tying it right there but after using it
for quite a while
it just sits in place so there's no need
of me zip tying it
so very basic setup here but it works
really really well the only thing I need
to do now is to find a place for all the
accessories and stuff and for that I'm
gonna use box joints to make some
drawers these are the Box joint
templates and I say templates plural
because it's a bunch of these stacked
together these segmented box joint
templates and you can space these out
however you want to get any type of
combination that you want in my case I
want an even 1/2 inch box joints
throughout the entire length of the
joint so I have these pushed up against
one another and what's really cool about
these is it makes it a very foolproof
way to get either a quarter inch or half
inch box joints based upon whatever bit
you're using so if I wanted quarter inch
box joints I can take my guide bearing
inside the obviously this arm down here
and come in from the bottom on every
single slot and that will give me one
quarter inch spacing with a 1/4 inch bit
four quarter inch box joints but if I
want to use a half inch bit I don't want
to accidentally get into the wrong one
because a half inch or that's a skip to
do half inch box joints that's where
these templates are cool because you can
come in from the top and one of these
slots inside every one of these
templates is stopped up at the top so
the spacing is doubled and therefore you
can get perfect half inch box joints by
coming through the top it's a foolproof
way to get precise joints without
accidentally hitting the wrong slot and
ruining your joint this is one of those
situations where you can reference
everything off of the center of the
table and the center of the template
holder if you want but in my case I just
find it easier to push push everything
up to one side and then work from one
side to the other always referencing off
of in my case the bottom edge of the
drawer sides and dwarf front so this
bottom edge will reference off of this
edge of the fence with the material but
where does this fence need to be placed
well in that case the template guide
bearing up here can reference off of the
far
right side of the template and I know
that is the furthest right that this bit
will need to be so I can put the bit on
the table very carefully making sure not
to scratch anything up and then slide
the fence up to the bit gently and then
lock it down now I know that with the
guide bearing perfectly in line with
this the this far edge of this template
over here to the right I am going to be
taking off one router bit with on the
bottom of the drawer pieces of course to
cut the mating part of that joint I
either need to a move the fence by the
exact width of the router bit or be
spaced the material away from the fence
by the by that exact amount and I'll get
into that once I get to those pieces now
we need to control how far the bit goes
forward and in this case I want to make
my cuts really close to the table so the
material is fully supported but
obviously I don't want the bit to run
into the table so you can see I have
this front depth stop set so that the
machine or the carriage cannot run into
the table there's always going to be a
small little gap between the pit and the
table that's fine for my ending point
but I want a consistent back point or a
starting point and that is so that I can
reference my new material for every cut
up against the bit to locate it this way
so the easiest way to do that is to
simply use a block down here to
determine how long you want the teeth to
be in my case I want the teeth I want
the joint to be the exact thickness of
the material so that none of it sticks
off some people like to leave the joints
a little bit long and then flush trim
them in this case I've had good results
just cutting them to the exact length so
in between either side of this doesn't
really matter I'll use a scrap block of
the same material I'm working with to go
up against this tab right here and then
slide you can't see it because the wood
is in the way but slide the backstop up
against it and lock it down so now the
gap between here and here is the exact
thickness of my material which means if
I reference the material on the table
see if I can't do this and stay out of
the way if I reference my new piece up
against the bit with a bit stopped
obviously and clamp it down
in our clamping down to the table now I
know that when I lift it up I can plunge
the exact thickness of the material and
cut perfect length box joints every
single time I'm using 1 by 6 material
for the drawer stock and all I'm
concerned with here is that they are the
exact same width
before I cut the other half of the joint
I want to mention the precision of these
templates and how you can adjust the fit
of your joints based upon how you
interact with the templates so first you
should always create a test joint before
you batch out a bunch of parts obviously
but in my case already
I've already messed with this already
know the precision that I want these
slots when the templates are squished
together are a little bit wider than the
diameter of this gyda bearing and that
allows you to have to reference sides as
you travel up and down the template so
in my case I wanted the most
I wanted the tightest settings so as I
was both going down and up on the
template I was putting pressure on the
template on the operators side of this
slot there's a little bit of wiggle room
like I said so if you want to have a
larger cut made just a tiny amount
larger than the diameter of the router
bit then you can go down on one side of
the slot and then back up on the
opposite side of the slot and that will
make a very very slightly wider cut now
you can use that will amount to three
types of precision right so the first
combination is all of your cuts no
matter what on both sides of the joint
are cut on one side of the template
that's what I'm gonna do here I'm gonna
make all of my cuts with the bearing
pushed up against the operator side of
the template the second precision or the
the second fit you can get is by cutting
half of the joint at the tightest
setting and then say on the other half
of the joint on those you use both sides
of the slot on your travel so half of
the joint is cut a little bit wider
the third tolerance or the the third
tightness you can get from this is by
cutting both sides of the joint with
both sides of the template so play
around with it before you batch out all
of your stuff I already know the fit
that I want I can achieve by using just
one side of the template on both sides
of the joint or one side of the template
slot on both sides of the joint to cut
the other half of the
we need to either offset the pieces from
the fence by the exact diameter of the
router bit or simply move the fence by
the exact diameter of the router bit and
one of the easiest spacers you can use
or the most convenient ones is a drill
bit because well you know the drill bit
size you should know the spacer this is
exactly half of an inch according to my
calipers but putting it right here and
having a piece of metal just kind of
sitting right there kind of unsecured
I've done it before
but it's not the most ideal situation so
instead I am actually going to move the
fence and it's actually really really
easy to do with a dial indicator so
first before I mess with this fence at
all I don't want to lose the placement
of it if something happens and I need to
reset so I'm gonna take one of these
front stops and put it in the table
right here up against the backside of
the fence so if I ever have to come back
to it or if I mess up I can always go
back to that exact same location now I
need to move this over by the exact by
an exact amount the exact diameter of
the router bit so for that I'm gonna use
a dial indicator and this is just a
cheap one that I've screwed to a piece
of plywood I've been kicking this around
in the shop for many years it is
extremely handy as a well it's handy for
many situations in my case it's taller
than the fence though so I'm going to
use a spacer block here or stop block to
extend the fence up and I'll push this
in so that it marks zero on the gauge
clamp it in place tweak it back to zero
and now I can move my fence in exact
point five zero zero inches very very
easily and precisely oh one thousandth
off and may or may not make a difference
probably not and there we go exactly
point five zero zero movement with just
a couple blocks that I recommend you
have anyway now the other half of all of
the joints can be cut and while doing
this
a little bit and found that dust
collection is a little bit better if I
come from the bottom up and that's just
due to the rotation of the bit and how
far the bit is sticking out this could
also be resolved by using a shorter bit
but the quickest and easiest solution is
to note that next time I should mount
the templates upside down in the
template holder and raise the template
holder just a little bit so that I can
still cut half inch box joints but
starting from the bottom and cutting up
here's a quick tip for you instead of
applying glue to all four of these
spaces if you can orient them to where
they line up simply clamp them together
and apply glue one time to all four
boards I'm using hide glue for two
reasons number one it's going to help
lubricate the joints and make assembling
it a little bit easier and number two
it'll allow me a lot more open assembly
time so I was using regular PVA glue not
only will it set up quicker but the
water and the PVA glue will expand the
joint making it an even tighter fit
causing me to swing a much larger hammer
than what I want to swing if the joints
are nice and tight you don't necessarily
need to leave them in clamps just use
the clamps to pull the joints closed
take it out of the clamps measure for
square and set it aside
I have the drawer fronts clamped
together with the top surfaces touching
one another and the drawer fronts facing
down now I can use a one and a half inch
Forstner bit to drill a hole right in
the middle of the drawer fronts and this
will result in a half circle drawer pull
on each one of the drawers and while the
drawers are still together I'll use a
roundover bit to ease the edge
[Music]
[Applause]
I'll never really put a lot of weight in
these drawers so I'm just using
quarter-inch plywood for drawer bottoms
and I'm gluing it directly to the bottom
of the drawer
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
using ball bearing drawer slides I think
this is just an economy one inch over
travel nothing expensive or anything and
let's see I want these to be high up on
the drawer just for convenience sake it
really doesn't matter how high you place
them typically you see them mounted in
the middle but in this case I want them
to be this top edge of the piece the
wider piece that will be mounted to the
cart I want it to be exactly one quarter
of an inch higher than the side of the
drawer so that's gonna be easily
achieved by flipping this over on a work
surface putting a quarter inch spacer
underneath it which is basically just an
off cut strip from this drawer bottom
and now if I reference the if I put the
drawer slide on my workbench and start
to secure it on this front edge this
inside piece I know that when I assemble
this in the case this top edge of the
drawer slide will be exactly 1/4 of an
inch higher than the top edge of the
drawer side so do you guys ever watch
these videos online these woodworking
videos and think well how this person
just always produces something flawless
right it's only everything always comes
out according to plan and everybody
always says at the end of their videos
well I'm just so happy with the way this
turned out anyway we all make mistakes
obviously I made these drawers full one
inch too long oh I'm an idiot so candy
would say it
I built the drawer to the exact width of
the opening and I did not subtract an
inch for the drawer slides I don't know
if I wrote down the measurement wrong or
read the tape measure wrong or set the
stop block wrong but something that I
did wrong and I didn't take that err I
didn't I didn't figure that out until I
went to install the drawers so dumb
mistake I went ahead and remade both of
these drawers not out of pine because I
ran out instead out of poplar and I
gotten carried away
we're
working without the camera running and
went ahead and installed them in there
so there's no footage of them being
installed but that's okay because we've
all seen drawer slides being screwed to
the inside of a case so man let me let's
just let me just catch you up with where
we're at over here if you can't laugh at
yourself then well the card is basically
done and as you can see that the drawers
are already installed and the drawer
slides are exposed in between these
posts and I don't want them to I guess
remain exposed just for dust reasons so
just to keep the dust out I'm going to
screw through the drawer slides and
install this piece of plywood just to
kind of cover things up a little bit you
know what's really frustrating when you
go to undo one of these long cord reels
and it's all tangled up and that's
because when you wrap it up you're just
making a right turn right turn right
turn right turn right turn you're
twisting the cord this is true with with
garden hoses as well and extremely
important to wrap up the cord the right
way and the vacuum cleaner in the house
so it's not frustrating in my opinion
anyway instead of going the same
direction every time make a figure eight
top down the top down top down top down
what you're doing is making a left turn
right turn left turn right turn left
turn right turning that way when you get
when you need to take this off it's
going to not be all tangled up so in
this bottom drawer it's just basically
overflowed some scrap test joints that
I've made these are cool to have on hand
to show people and this will just be you
know for the clamps odds and ends type
stuff this top drawer is where the magic
is right so this is all nice and
organized every single piece has a home
which is fantastic now really quick I
cut this out on my CNC machine and laid
out a rough size of surface area on my
workbench taped it off laid everything
out the way that I wanted it took a
picture of it imported that into
Sketchup and drew everything on top of
that and then used my CNC machine to cut
everything out I know not everybody has
a CNC machine and actually that wasn't
my initial choice for this my initial
choice was Kaizen foam but I realized
why
I phone when I can just cut one of these
out myself so if you buy the plans for
this cart I'm gonna have this whole
diagram ready to go so that you can
duplicate this set up and you'll know
where everything has a home and
everything fits for the Kaizen foam or
if you just want to or if you have a CNC
machine or know somebody with one then
I'll have the the vector file for all of
this to go ahead and cut it out
but anyway everything is here we've got
our horizontal mortise and tenon
templates are vertical mortise and tenon
templates the triple mortise and tenon
the variable space dovetail templates
the box joint templates the bowtie the
diamond the there's five dowel templates
some of the tools this is for the router
this is for the templates and this is
one of the most handy things to have for
just about all of these types of
machines so have this and then a little
pocket down here for some odds and ends
some wrenches extra screws and nuts and
the monster mortise and tenon bits bits
the monster mortise and tenon gyda
bearings the four main bits that are
used with the machine a couple little
setup pieces and the rest of the guide
bearings over there so everything has a
home and you can instantly look and see
if something is missing so you know to
put it back two more things to mention
before I stop talking and I did end up
zip tying the hose and cord to that
lower rail and just gives plenty of
extra without the added stress of it
just dangling down here at the bottom I
said I was going to knock the corners
off of this piece of plywood but I don't
think it's necessary and actually I've
already dumped this twice and having any
extra support right there is kind of
handy I don't have this bucket or
cyclone attached to the cart at all it's
just basically sitting there and I don't
think it needs one I've wheeled it
around all the way around the shop
several times and it really doesn't move
so I don't think there's any need to
secure it in any way gravity seems to be
doing the job just fine and it is a
completely non rigid setup so if you
accidentally bump into it it's not going
to damage anything if it Wiggles so this
project is done and real quick if you're
not
Miller with the hybrid panto router this
machine then I'll have a link in the
description check it out I am not
affiliated with those the folks at that
company at all I don't make any money on
their sales and I'm not being paid to
make this video however they did send me
this machine to use it's an upgraded
version of the one that I already had
and the biggest upgrade is the base
they've made some improvements with the
base made it more precise and it's a big
cast aluminum piece rather than some
these aluminum aluminum extrusions so
they have made some tweaks here and
there and they're continuously improving
which is fantastic I love it when
companies out there really and try to
improve on their product rather than
just sit back and try and sell the one
that they have so that's fantastic great
folks to deal with if you're interested
in making this cart I will have a set of
plans available link is in the
description if you're watching this on
YouTube but the plans aren't going to be
100% for this cart and that's because
I've noted some areas for improvements
along the way so it's gonna be close but
not 100% and let's see the card itself
it checks all the boxes for you want
strength in a cart like this and you get
all the strengths from the joinery
rather than adding panels and what I
mean by that is like a bookcase is
pretty strong if it's just sitting there
with gravity pushing down but any type
of lateral forces it's gonna be a little
bit wobbly just due to the nature of a
bookcase so just really strengthen it up
you add a back panel to it and that'll
really strengthen it up this way this
cart is really strong due to the joinery
so no panels are necessary for adding
strength like there's no need to add a
back panel although I guess you could if
you want I did add some panels to the
side but those were simply to to reduce
the amount of dust that gets on the
drawer slides so that's number one
number two it's an easy project to make
if you don't screw up like I did and the
the third thing is it's convenient and
efficient to use the machine now all of
the accessories are right here ready to
go
