Making Good Chamfers with a Hand Plane - No Router

[build4fun]

I often enjoy using my hand tools in lieu of power tools. Making chamfers by hand is one good example, but I do a better job on some days than others. In this video, I build a 'chamfer guide' - something I find helpful when trying to chamfer the edges on a relatively long workpiece. I make two prototypes with the 2nd being much better than the first.

Well done. I like the idea and will add it to my list.
What I really like is your wall organization. I need to get that done in my shop.

A French cleat system is wonderful as I 'almost' get the spatial organization right and then buy something else and need to change it. Very flexible and helpful.
