This is an excerpt from the live Demo Night that took place 7/23/08. The topic was creating Greene & Greene style joint for the Gadget Station project. Its a long video, but lots of details were covered and numerous questions were thrown out by the chat room. This was our best turnout yet with 180+ viewers! This isn’t exactly as fun as the live experience but its a close second for those who couldn’t make it. Enjoy!

    Nice demo, thanks. It just shows that there are multiple ways to achieve a goal…just use whatever is comfortable to you.

    First time watching one of the demos, live. Good info, and fun to watch, the video stream was near perfect. Keep up the good work!!!

    Marc, thanks very much for taking the time to edit and publish this. I’m glad I didn’t miss out! Good demo, I love that joint.

    Great Demo. but the live version was a lot more fun, makes the show well worth it. I hope you double attendance next week.

    I didn’t get to view the live demo (time zone difference), but the edited, yet still long excerpt was great. Nice joint, good tips.

    Since the time difference for me means that I would not be able to participate in the live event, I really appreciate the edited version. I found this well worthwhile and look forward to many more to come.

    Thank you

    Marc,

    I noticed you using your Japanese style chisels in the video.

    What brand do you like?

    I may be going to Japan for my friend’s wedding in November.
    Would it be worthwhile to pick up some tools while I am there?
    Or is it just easier to use the web and avoid the TSA issues?

    What would you recommend?

    Whatever it might be I should probably start saving up for it now.

    Thanks!

    Hey James. The brand I use is Fujihiro. You can check them out here: http://www.hidatool.com/shop/shop.html

    Not sure how much money you would save by getting them overseas, but at those prices, its certainly worth looking into. I imagine if you just put the chisels in your checked luggage you would be fine as far as TSA is concerned.

    If you happen to have any local friends there, I am sure that would make the job of locating a reputable dealer a whole lot easier. Does Rockler have a Japanese store? lol.

    Good luck.

    Hi Marc,

    Just curious, why not set up a stop block on the miter fence to line up your cuts instead of relying on the rip fence? Especially since those Incra miter gauges have that ability built in.

  12. thewoodwhisperer on August 3rd, 2008 9:27 am

    No real reason. Just didn’t think of it. lol

Got something to say?
