Incra is a company based in Dallas Texas (according to their website) that make high quality precision tools for woodworkers.
I do not have any connection with Incra, I just really like the products they make.
I first discovered Incra products approx 6 years ago when I was looking for a better fence system for my cabinet saw. I was so impressed with my replacement fence and the build quality I've since bought a lot more of their tools and I am extremely pleased with them all.

Great work looks good 👍🏻
Hi MM BB, thanks. 😁
@@GTWoodshop you are welcome
Your skill and knowledge is impressive. You make it look so easy. So important that all the depths of cut a precise.
Hi Brian, thank you, and yes you're right absolutely vital. 👍
That was spectacular. And a good tip about flush trim the ends first to avoid tearout.
Hi Douggg, Thank you. 👍😎
Nice project Graham. Good attention to detail.
Thanks Len.
Simply fantastic! Can't wait to continue. Thank you very much!
Hi David, that's very kind of you, thank you. 😊👌
I really need to start using my system, I will try to build the box you just did, thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Hi Juan, you're welcome. 👍
Great demo for the Incra system. I’m putting mine together now. The first project, sadly, will be a coffin box for a cremation urn. An elderly cousin passed this past week from the virus. I’ll take great pride in making the box and it will allow me to learn how to use the Incra system for something meaningful.
Sorry to hear that Dan, I hope making the box brings some joy.
Love the incra set up in your 3 series videos....
Thanks 👍
Your channel is excellent. I have no idea why you only have 2k subs. The algorithm sucks.
I’m a blacksmith and getting into woodworking. I’ve decided to get the incra table instead of the JessEm because of your videos. I’ve also decided to at least try the festool sanders (I don’t care for the price tag). Incra and Festool should sponsor you. Thank you for your effort.
High TexaCajun, thank you. Its really encouraging to know that people like yourself are enjoying the vids, as you say, 'The Algorithm!!' Anyway, I really hope you enjoy the Router Table, its a fantastic tool that every workshop should have (IMO). Let me know how you get on. 😁👍👌
Great job! I have an older incra model that I bought used. I am definitely going to try this joint!
Hi Lucy, thank you. Just took a look at your cutting board vid and sub'd . 👌👍
@@GTWoodshop thanks! I am excited to follow your channel. You are a great teacher!
Thank you 😊
What a great box! I also to take a moment to applaud you on your technical merits - you have some of the finest camera I've seen in all the woodworking videos I've watched. The ceiling camera is excellent. Your audio is good, as well, and at a good level with your music. I'm not sure why you don't have more subscribers, as you're putting a lot of effort into a quality product. Keep it up and they'll come to you! :-)
Wow, thank you Matthew, it seems to be building slowly. Patience is a virtue. (so they say) 😁👍
Yes, I agree! I watch an awful lot of CZcams videos focusing mainly on joinery! You camera use, and editing are excellent….no stops and starts to reposition cameras. The composure of your videos is equal to that of good ole Peter Parfitt! Keep up the good work Graham….would be good to see more frequency!,
Gonna have a go at this one. Thanks for sharing.
Do it, its all in the setup, Hope you enjoy
Hi David, am I correct in thinking that the imperial version of the LS Positioner has a scale that will identify the centre of the board being worked on, but the metric does not? I find this really strange and frustrating that so many tools/equipment seem to favour imperial, and only giving metric a look in when they feel like it. None more so than ‘Woodpeckers’, who mainly make imperial tools, but on the odd occasions when they’re feeling generous, also make a metric version of the same tool too. Incra also sell a project book for use with the LSP, but, you’ve guessed it, only for the imperial version, meaning it’s useless for those of us who own the metric version as the scales do not work. Most of the planet use metric, I just don’t get it, besides you’d think they’d be over the moon not having to multiply and dividing imperial fractions. My other question if I may, did you purchase your Woodpecker tools direct and pay the obscene shipping costs, or have you found someone in the UK that will sell these tools at a competitive price?
I really enjoyed your 3 videos, I’ve no excuses anymore to keep putting off cutting these type of beautiful half blind dovetails. One thing that did make me smile was when you interchange the words "rebate" & "rabbet" through your videos. Was that to keep the folks either side of the pond happy?
HI Steve, no, neither system has a center finder. Once 'You've ' found center you can set it on the scale of either. My first 'Incra' on the table saw was imperial, I've now converted it to metric. With regard to Woodpecker tools, I have bought direct from Woodpeck and in the UK. Buying direct, the tools are a much better price, but the shipping cost for some reason is obscene. You can now get quite a few of their tools form www.woodworkersworkshop.co.uk, but their not cheapo, see,s to be a dollar to pound rate, and yes to rebate and rabbet. 😊😊😎
Nice video. I have the exact same LS system so will give your project a go. Question: Is there a way to extend one of the dovetails and pins so when you cut off the lid in accounts for the router bit kerf, keeping the remaining equal in size to the uncut dovetails? Or do you find the difference is not noticeable?
Hi Jim, Yes you could just skip one of the cuts. That a brilliant idea that hadn't occured to me. Thanks Jim.👌👍😎
How do you account for wood movement in the top and bottom panels?
Hi jtambor1, I made sure the wood I choose was dry, if memory serves it was 6%. So far there is no sign of adverse movement, plus I also thought with the piece being so small movement would be very little anyway. Time may prove me wrong. 🤔👍
