Had a great day today working in the shop. I have gotten behind on my schedule for the cherry quilt chests because of some family isuues and increased work load. Today was a warm and sunny day in Portland and it was a pleasure to get out in the shop and make some cherry sawdust! I thought it would be fun to make a small video to share the experience. The original video was too long so I made a two part episode. I figured you guys would be the only ones that could actually sit and watch a router and LEIGH FMT Jig for 10 miniutes! Please excuse the ameteur quality!
My set-up
Stock mounted to cut a tenon
Sighting alignment bar
Routing a tenon
My LEIGH FMT Jig Video – Part 1

Hey David!
That was great! I lived in PDX for 5 years and was started on the road to woodworking by a model airplane builder in Boring, OR. The video was great! It gives a very good demonstration on using the FMT! Thanks!

David, great video. Great jig. You ‘perform’ very well on camera! I’m a little nervous to do the shop tour video… Thanks for sharing.

Thanks! You have two choices. (1) At the end of watching a video clip click on the far end down arrow – this will give you a drop down menu and you can click and save as a self-contained movie – or – (2) send me your snailmail address and I will pop a high definition version of both parts in the mail.

Well done. I’ve said it before and I will say it again. You should put these out on as a video Podcast.

I would say Mot is a tough act to follow, although, I would love to work in his shop!
