Teds woodworking, biggest scam on the internet
😂😂😅
I do have to say those ancient carpenters even kept secret the fact they had electricity to use with their routers. They are truly amazing! And they kept the secret so well hidden all these years only to be exposed. Oh and I guess they also were able to make the electric motors for the routers and much more. Those guys were the best! We should all follow the example of these 'ancient' carpenters. Good thing for the internet to expose all the dirty secrets they hid from us.
Lol
😂😂😂
😆😆😆
I clicked this video just for this comment
@@gelo1238 me too !
This one was subtle. For those that missed it, the ancient secret was that with enough clickbait you can get a C&C machine and not worry about making a jig.
Wow I'm amazed! I truly am. I didn't know that ancient carpenters had electric routers.
Ancient Chinese secret.
I was amazed they had wrenches lets alone nuts and bolts! But that's what I get for sleeping through all that Bronze age stuff!
Oh, they had the routers, they just had to wait for electricity till the 19th century..
how do you know they didnt?
And bench saws. Probably water driven.
Wow! who knew ancient carpenters had steel nuts and bolts and even routers!
They had routers but no place to plug them in. So the router just sat on the shelf and collected dust.
@@steveoshaughnessy3736 An excellent point and probably why this gismo never caught on.
And plywood who knew...
@@steveoshaughnessy3736 To be fair... my router has been collecting dust for probably 3 years since I last had a use for it!
And, of course, all of them knew about T-Slot !
At last, you've solved the mystery of how ancient carpenters controlled their electric routers! This should be on Discovery Channel.
Build this jig and you can make shallow rounded corner squares of any shape!
I literally grew up watching my father create pendelum granfather clock cabinets (and all sorts of other intricate furniture) with mother of pearl inlays and moulded doors with glass panel inserts finishing up with traditional French Polish and stains, all mostly done with hand tools and devices he designed and made himself. Even the glue he used was prepared in his workshop. I can still recall the peculiar aroma. I wish I had been able to visually record the progress of his work for YT but this was all sixty+ years ago and he had done his apprenticeship in Edinburgh in the early 1900s.
"Dad, have you seen Benji?" "Who the heII is Benji?" "You know, Benji my little puppy?" "Look son, can't you see I'm busy making glue. Benji's probably run away to a farm in the countryside." "You think Benji's run away?" "Stop crying. And close that door! You know how your mom hates the smell of boiling dog."
@@fluchterschoenLOL! I can tell even worse stories.concerning a favourite old aunt, her legendary soup pot and a missing kitten from her cat's recent litter....suffice to say I went off soup at a young age.
there's an excellent point being made here, that a clever person with a career in carpentry was perfectly capable of inventing a tool when he had a problem. as an apprentice he'd learn the core skills as well as how to think, but he'd build on that in later years into a complex knowledge. and most of that knowledge was probably lost, except for what he thought were the "basics" to pass along to an apprentice, and maybe a genius idea or two copied by other carpenters. and it didn't matter that these ideas were lost, because later generations were too creative to be reliant on books and youtube when they needed something. it might be underappreciated that historically, geniuses didn't go to college and leave their class to become surgeons and mathematicians. moving to a higher class was largely impossible. geniuses just became exceptional examples of their craft
@@5naxalotl TLDR
The only point is that a carpenter of unknown ability can kludge together a flimsy jig that probably cost more in time than it was worth - unless you are paid pennies an hour for your work. @@5naxalotl
This craftsman has beautifully demonstrated that with a well stocked workshop and infinite time on your hands you can make a flimsy wooden thing that does the same as a metal jig you can buy for 10s of pounds. Ideal if you don't have a queue of real project to work on.
Ouch 🤣🤣🤣 May the curse of a thousand Ancient Carpenters fall upon you!
But it is beautiful.
"Why did ancient carpenters keep these secrets?" Watching this won't tell you. They're truly safe with Will Wood.
when I was a cabinet maker 20 years ago. we had metal jigs that did the same thing and had dust collection. They didn't exactly invent the wheel here.
The way I look at it, the beauty of KZhead and such is that in the old days, if you weren't lucky enough to have a neighbor or family member to teach you, you never got any exposure to the tips and shortcuts that were used by people who actually put food on the table with their skills. Now anyone with a curious mind can just learn and learn even if you don't know a single woodworker in real life. I'm not surprised it's old tech, but I had never seen one before. The right idea in front of the right eyes at exactly the right time are how we get great new innovation.
@@neilnelson2933 I partly agree, though having lived and worked for a bunch of years without KZhead... I feel that, at times, all the info (including bad info) stifles a person's ability to hone their critical thinking skill set. I'd figured out the basics of a lever my first time on a see-saw (are they even still "kid-approved"?).
@@neilnelson2933 "The way I look at it, the beauty of KZhead and such..." - Unfortunately, the dark side of KZhead and other social media is that a lot of the videos people watch are filled with misinformation or actively dangerously methods of doing things which can get people seriously injured or killed, and amateurs and novices may not have the knowledge or insight to differentiate between the good and the bad.
I tend to skip over videos or stories whose titles or descriptions convey the idea of recovering some lost ancient secret or wisdom. Most often, the idea is nothing more than a bad idea that deserves to remain in the garbage bin of history. But the still-frame picture was compelling enough to trigger my imagination, and I saw a potential application for my low-budget woodworking "shop". That still-frame was sufficient to motivate me to put the description aside and at least commit to watching the first 30-45 seconds of the video. Since I appreciated how you walked us through the process, I realised this could be a fun project to work on and watched the video to the end. I read two pages of comments, even using Google Translate to see if anyone had a useful suggestion to improve or modify the project. I left the peanut gallery and watched the video to the end a second time to make notes of how I could make use of some of the hardwood I have sitting on my wood rack. Thank you for walking us through your process. You have motivated me to get off my duff to build something useful for my shop.
Not only did those "ancient carpenters have electricity, they also had plywood, routers, table saws and a whole heap of precision secret equipment to help them. This is actually a rather elegant version of steadily available router jig. Shame about the title!
They did have plywood. It comes from the plywood tree. It's neither a softwood nor a hardwood, it's actually sedimentary - that's why it's in layers.
I like this jig. Great for quick setup. Seems worth making. That said, if only the ancient carpenters had wingnuts, it would be perfect.
...and electric routers which would call for such a jig...
Is there to be a part 2 in which the secret is divulged ?
Perfect tool for installing outlet boxes in the Pyramids.
Nice tool, short and to the point build, but clickbait title. Nothing about that was an ancient secret
Thank you for watching and leaving your comment 😉👍🙏
wow ! didnt know ancient carpenters had table saws, routers , drill press
A. I thing the ancient carpenters still keep their secrets from the author concerning safety: 1) not to stand inline with piece being cut as in case of blocking and kick-back it will be fired directly in their gut; 2) not to blow the dust as it will get into the eyes, which would be dangerous in workshop full of machinery. B. I made the same jig using 4 pieces of aluminium curtains rail, 4 L-joints and 8 bolts M6 with wing nuts. It took me 1 hour with coffee break.
not gonna say anything about push sticks?
ad A. The ancient carpenters died out because of it before they could share those secrets
True carpenter wouldn't be putting their fingers in harms way when cutting 😂
Thank you for watching and leaving your comment 😉👍🙏
Because ancient carpenters don't have any Electric Machines.
No they didn't.
Exactly
That was awesome. And to think I almost bought one. Thanks for showing me how to make my own!
Those ancient carpenter secrets just robbed me of 3 minutes of my life.
MAGISTRAL, GRACIAS POR COMPARTIRLO.
Надо же! А я и не знал ,что у древних плотников были циркулярные пилы, фрезы, болты и сверлильные станки
Не знали потому ,что древние плотники хранили эти секреты.
I don't get it. What is the final use of this? - Maybe you should have shown this additionally at the end of the video.
Absolutely perfect way to lose some fingers at the table saw!
In part 2 do we find out how they built the teleport that was able to bring electric routers from the future back into ancient times?
The title didn't match the video. Yet you have 224K subscribers? Glad I'm not one.
L'antichità è sempre piena di preziosi insegnamenti, Grazie, bel video
Thanks for watching 😉👍🙏
Wait. You have a router, bit decided to take an extra hour to cut those grooves with the edges of the boards, then glue that pressed wood to it and then cut the pressed boards? Why not just use the router bits and be done in like 2 minutes? Plus, you have a drill press, yet chose to use the hand drill and added another 20 minutes to the job? Look, I understand you wanted to take as long as the "ancients", but that's just silly.
*_"Why did ancient carpenters keep these secrets? "_* Well, for the same reason one could expect the Spanish Inquisition. Maintaining the status quo. Keeping it in the family. Keeping it within the blessed.
The History channel might have to follow up Ancient Aliens with Ancient Carpenters.
Ancient carpenters discovering IKEA furniture.
WOW - suuuuper genial 👍👍👍👍👍
Excelente trabalho, Will! Fantástico jig!!! 😃 Abraços e se mantenha seguro aí com sua família! 🖖😊
Thanks meu amigo! Obrigado por assistir e deixar seu comentário. 😉👍🙏
my god, he's invented .... the square.
Почему бы не сделать длинную шпильку на всю длину деревяшки? Удобно ведь закручивать снаружи гайкой-барашкой, а не корячиться ключом в небольшом отверстии
Fair enough. Genius!
But now you've put a lot of time into making something that you'll actually only use once or twice, and it'll take up space in your shop for the next thirty years, rusting and warping. Just tack one up on the spot from scraps. Use it. Burn it. What, you have no scraps?
There's this thing called a T-slot router bit. Much faster than making your own.
Surely that's too much material to take out in a single pass, no?
@@madwilliamflint Depends on the wood.. I wouldn't try it with rock maple, but I've done it in soft maple just fine. Poplar, too, but I didn't expect it to last very long.
Uauuuu !!! Excelente trabalho. Parabéns!
I was unaware that ancient carpenters had table saws, routers and drill presses.
Trabalho maravilhoso, parabéns pelo excelente trabalho. Forte abraço 🪚🇧🇷
Valeu amigo. Obrigado por assistir e deixar seu comentário 😉👍🙏
KZhead should have a functionality whereby headlines that are lies cause the account to be banned. First for a week. Then a month. Then a year. Then a decade. Then a century.
I dont think the ancients had power tools bro
Thank you for watching and leaving your comment 😉👍🙏
Everybody knows the router jig was invented way before the router itself.
I came here to say this. Those secretive ancient ones with there table saws and router's 😂
Ah, they had…routers with power cords. And they even had a cutter that made t-slots in one go, before titebond and Irwin clamps were invented. 😉
In ancient times, carpenters couldn't just order a jig for their compact routers.
Regarding those arguing about hand-powered tools vs electric-powered tools..... The same sense of fast, fine, broad and acute dynamics get applied to the hewing of wood with electric powered tools, as does with hand powered tools. I teach a class that addresses the common denominators here and guarantees to make a better "craftsman" of you, when you apply what's being taught. That to also say, it is/was far quicker for well experienced crafter, artisans, Carpenters, builders etc, to hew wood with hand powered tools, than it is for 21st century people of the same vocation, to do it with electric tools. There are good and valid reasons for this. However...!, those using electric tools, (... and doing so with the optimum cognition possible), are wielding far more skill(s), in many different areas than those using the hand powered tools. And while the 2 different approaches are quite polar in nature, they are congruent in reason.
Thank you for watching and leaving your comment 😉👍🙏
Ah yes... Those ancient carpenters that used nuts and bolts and router trimmers... I've heard about those ...
Lots of dunning-krugers needlessly dunking on this guy because he happened to use some electric tools, but that thing really does look useful.
Its a brilliant effort .
The title doesn't match the video. Its just a jig.
Thank you for watching and leaving your comment 😉👍🙏
Goofy clickbait title notwithstanding, that's a clever little jig.
It's a cool jig, but I see nothing here that an ancient carpenter would even recognize. Not the tools or the glue or the materials. Nothing.
It's a really good jig but, as plenty of comments have already expressed surprise at the video header, I do agree the word "ancient" is not just a strange choice, it's a really stupid one.
Where did the ancient carpenters get 1/4 - 20 hardware and what would and ancient carpenter do with and adjustable router template?
It is just possible the ancient woodworkers didn't keep the secrets on purpose, it could have been that they didn't have writing paper to keep a record for the future. OR the records were destroyed by the fire in the library of Alexandria Egypt. 😉😊
Every time I see someone using a table saw with their bare hands, I always wince and remember the professional carpenter I know with 4 missing fingers on his right hand.
Desperate for views? Secrets of the ancients, yea, ok. By ancients you mean "look what dad taught me" Another clickbait woodworker blocked
Bro, the ancients definitely had table saws
The reason ancient, and medieval, carpenters kept secrets was job protection, same as all other crafts and trades. That is also why the name of the profession has legal protection. You are a Carpenter if you went through formal apprenticeship and are a Jounreyman or Craft Master. Otherwise, you are legally not allowed to call yourself Carpenter, you are only a Woodworker. This is to protect the craft and the customers.
Are these the ancient apprenticeships you speak of? If that were true, there would be no more carpenters in existence very soon, because the apprenticeships that enabled them to become carpenters, ceased long ago. But yes I agree that is the usual reason for secrecy in trades.
@@prestonian1066 From the Ancients through medieval and deep into enlightenment and further. Countries that today still have craft and trade guilds (such as Germany) still have the law that you have to have undergone proper apprenticeship to put the craft's or trade's name on your shop window.
Красиво, но очень специфично. Древние столяры растерянно курят в сторонке. 😅
Merci pour cette vidéo très intéressante, gabarit facile à réaliser
Let's forget the Obvious and sarcastic comments about electricity. The idea is very clever and I can can see how slight variations of this could be used on a variety of products, with or without electricity. If they are the only comments some people can make, better to not bother with comments. Thanks for the video
I was kinda skeptical at the beginning. I think I will give it a try. Cool jig.
😉👍🙏
esses segredos? é apenas um (01) gabarito, um simples gabarito para varias medidas.

древние плотники очень хорошо умели хранить секреты.... особенно те, о которых еще не знали!

@@user-wk4hf7ng9z это и есть главный секрет, что и фрезеры и циркулярные пилы у них были, но очень хорошо хранили этот секрет.

This style of jig has never been a secret. 😂
Something tells me that ancient carpenters weren't building router guides using machine screws....
Наверное потому, что у древних плотников не было ручного электрофрезера.

@@user-uz7hd5er4m Хранить секреты одно из развлечений человечества. Больше того, нет никакого секрета как изготовить двигатель(любой) почему то никто не пользуется таким знанием. Возможно что этот секрет стал секретом потому что никому не нужно было.
@@user-uz7hd5er4m у древних плотников не было метизов, и болтовые соединения им были недоступны. наерное это и есть самый главный секрет 👺

Wow. You are building Ikea furniture. Great job.
У древних плотников были каменные молотки и гвозди из костей.
Bravo!! 👏 🧙♂🧚🧚♂🧚♀🎶
Может, древние плотники хранили эти секреты, т.к. сами их не знали, потому что у них не было электрооборудования?😂
за циркулярку с электроприводом на костёр бы потащили, а за ручной фрезер убили бы на месте и в болоте утопили. Потому и хранили в секрете. Это если те, древние, которые с топором за поясом.

What did ancient carpenters make with that router jig?
All (completely justfiable) jibes about click bait aside, it is a nice jig which I will find useful if I ever manage to put it together, and I am glad both for the video and the hilarity of the comments.
