Coping Cabana

ea_copeThis is just a quick video of me assembling an Eagle America coping sled. I find this type of sled is not only helpful, but a necessity, when making frames and raised panel doors. Its a great jig for running those narrow pieces through a big router bit. Speaking of raised panel doors, check out Raising Arizona for a quick review of the process of making raised panel doors with router bits.

  1. That was fantastico!! Takes me back to the days of sun and nights of Salsa dancing in Miami. “Say hello to my little friend, coping sled”
    I knew that inside there was a Don Juan just waiting to break free.
    Viva La WoodWhisperer!!

    Let’s just say that you’re the only one that getting “THAT” excited about a coping sled, lol.

    Nice mini.

  5. Skee April 26, 2009

    Very nicely done. I really enjoy that you keep it real!

  6. Lovely. It would have only been better with a Seinfeld ‘Pirate’ shirt.

    Had me rolling on the floor as I learned a new assembly technique.

      I’ll chip in a buck to buy Marc a puffy shirt, lol. Do they make puffy graphic t-shirts?

    hmm… something tells me that you grew the mustache just for this video… wow great stuff

  8. I wish I had a pencil thin mustache
    The “Boston Blackie” kind
    A two toned Ricky Ricardo jacket
    And an autographed picture of Andy Devine

  9. Now THERE’S something you’ll never see on the New Yankee Workshop!! B-)

    Does Matt Vanderlist share a similar salsa passion with a tongue and groove plane?

    I’d like to see the 2 of you dance …

  11. That’s awesome.

    A Salma Hayek cameo would have been nice, but still a cool video.

    Eagle America should use that clip for their coping sled commercial.

    I like the new look and I guess the sled is OK too. SALSA

  14. Loved it, but it needed more hip shaking :). Next stop DWTS!

    Are you sure that those once trusty 3m filters are working on your mask ?

    Or maybe this is an early safety week video- what happens when you breathe too much varnish !

    Muy Gracioso, El pelo, bigote, y la camisa dieron el toque perfecto. Gracias por hacernos reir.

  23. Evan H. April 27, 2009

    just when you thought you’ve seen it all. A man does the forbidden Tango dance with a coping sled.

  24. Paul-Marcel ST-ONGE April 28, 2009

    Nice upgrade to the soundtrack; maybe I’ll play this whisper-mini at my next salsa party… azucar!

  25. You one crazy guy

  26. _funk April 28, 2009

  27. Eric Wolf May 21, 2009

    You’re new indian name is “Dances With Tools”……

    That’s a lot better than mine: “Runs While Bleeding”.

  28. Mark.. I just have to ask.. whats the name of the tune for this little coping-cabana ??
    Thanks again for another great class session.

    Marc I just found you’re show as I am getting into building projects. I have spent several sleepless nights watching your podcasts. I can say without a shadow of a mustache, this was hands down the funniest thing I have ever seen! I don’t remember the sled but man OMG was that funny! I just got a PM 64 table saw and am hoping to start a bedroom in the arts and crafts style (stickly) I will look the American Eagle sled and I think Laugh every time I use it. I guess go to their site and get it? I just finished watching Duane’s trunk mini-sode and liked that nice job! Keep it us.

  31. Dude, that was awesome!!! I too get excited about any new purchase. My heart pounds when I hear the roar of a diesel engine outside my garage. I know the difference between the usps truck, ups truck, fedex truck, etc…

    My name is Mike, and I am an addict.

  32. The stache is cool, but I’m more a soul patch kinda dude. ;)
