In fact you should be excited because that tells you we have more videos to come in the weeks to follow. I could tell you the titles but that would ruin the surprise.

    Thanks for this. I’m a total noob but I want to create two 11” outer diameter rings. I was going to get a CNC company make it but because of this I might try it myself.

    Does the router method give a better surface finish on the cut edge than the bandsaw method?

    Can you do the bandsaw method with a scroll saw?

    Double sided tape a sacrificial board to your wood if you don’t want to have a centre hole in the finished circle.

  • @jimkownacki3629

    When using the bandsaw jig, would adding a sacrificial piece of 1/4 inch ply eliminate the chip out?

    Would you mind making a boxing speed bag platform that rivals the $2,000 model that is currently on sale with Title Boxing? I want to learn woodworking in general, but I really want to make a beautiful and sturdy one that I can sell for some extra money. I live in California, and 40 bucks an hour just ain't cutting it 😫 if you can believe that.
    I'm thinking of stacking plywood circles to make a really thick platform. (Probably 8 pieces of 1/2" plywood)Yeah, that thick. It must have rock solid rebound and no vibration. I want to sand it down to perfection, weatherproof it, stain it and varnish it.

    Put tape on the cut and it will eliminate most of the chipping

    How about instead of moving the router you just spin the plywood like with the bandsaw

    Not that you let this go up on your site, but the band saw idea is crap, you know it I know it. The band saw never stay in line and dances and pushes itself side to side. Just watching your final cutting of that disc we could see it was coming around short of be true leaving around a 1/2 inch flat spot

      Hey Gary; I just bought a Bosch deluxe router guide on Amazon. It was around 30 bucks. It includes a piece that looks like a suction cup with a metal rod sticking out of the top. They tell you to tape this piece to your board in the middle so that you don’t have to drill a hole. Hope that helps.

    Good content but all your videos are dark, fuzzy, and low resolution.

    You should have measured the circle that you routered. You made an assumption that it's 16". If your 8" was off, it would not have been 16".
