Patron Version Video: The CR Dovetail Square
Added 2024-12-06 19:22:49 +0000 UTCFriends:
I've been frustrated with dovetail layout tools for a long time. Most of the layout gauges out there are cheap and flimsy, or they're expensive and they only do one thing. And I get irritated switching back and forth between an angle gauge and a square.
I've often thought: "Why can't the square and the gauge just be one tool?"
So, I did something about it. Today, we're launching the Compass Rose Dovetail Square: a layout gauge and precision try-square in a single tool. This idea has been tried before, but the results have been a little clumsy. I think our square is elegant and useful.
And just like any tool release, Patrons get special perks!
Use the code GETSQUARE to take $5 off the introductory sale price. Patrons also get exclusive access to our limited stock of cosmetic seconds. These are perfectly functional tools with minor blemishes. We can give a deep discount on these and you can take an additional $5 off with the code GETSQUARE. We have fewer than 50 of these, so they won't last.
And we're delighted to announce the return of the Compass Rose Vise Block! It's the same great solution for holding your work, but now printed from PETG. And, we now have a left-handed version.
Everything is ready for purchase right now at www.compassrosetools.com and we're shipping in time for Christmas (or your winter holiday of choice.)
And here are all the links in one place:

We've worked hard on these tools. We hope you like them.

2024-12-10 21:09:08 +0000 UTCNow this is a real top flight endorsement.

2024-12-09 03:30:35 +0000 UTCRex, I’m sure glad you aren’t in the cryptocurrency business. Your sales pitches are irresistible.

2024-12-09 03:27:06 +0000 UTCYou are doing a fantastic job. I find that the tools you have created are really filling niches that have not been available previously with the new and semi experienced woodworkers in mind. Congratulations on this great product design. Those little extras never seem to get addressed

2024-12-08 13:29:37 +0000 UTCRex, I applaud your continuous innovation and throughput! Creating products is not easy and it makes me super happy to see you keep at it! I would love a behind the scene on all the iterations you went through if that's something you're willing to share - for me the journey is more interesting than the destination. Wishing you and your family a merry Christmas!

2024-12-08 02:13:07 +0000 UTCOof! That sucks, thanks for letting me know

2024-12-07 19:21:38 +0000 UTCYes I have but nothing they do seems to help. I believe its connected to Youtube but sending them a complaint about it has produced no response. It’s compounded by the fact I am now in Portugal and calling them is a bit more complicated. I am going to try and call them another way and if I get results I will let all know. My fear of just quitting and resigning up is I may lose the forum as well and I love the forum!

2024-12-07 17:06:30 +0000 UTCGerald, I'm shocked that you're still having this problem. You show as a member in good standing to me. Have you reached out to patreon customer support yet? They won't answer me any faster than you. It's not a problem I can fix, or I would have fixed it already. i really want it resolved.

2024-12-07 17:05:51 +0000 UTCIn order to offer packages, we need to rebuild the whole site on another provider. We need to do it, but it's a big job. We'll get there!
Rex Krueger
2024-12-07 17:04:38 +0000 UTCWe were hoping people would appreciate that feature. It's the real innovation. Thanks for the compliment!
Rex Krueger
2024-12-07 17:03:33 +0000 UTCI'm so glad you like the square! As to the router plane kit, we lost our supplier of blades and finding a new one has been a challenge. We're working on it.
Rex Krueger
2024-12-07 17:02:56 +0000 UTCThank you!
Rex Krueger
2024-12-07 17:02:19 +0000 UTCVery neat!
Bradley Barth
2024-12-07 13:31:54 +0000 UTCSuper excited about this tool, it looks like it’s going to be great even just as a regular square for small marks and I love a multi tasker. I’ve also been wondering for a while what happened to the router plane kit? I’d really love one but it’s not even listed as out of stock.
Eli Maxwell
2024-12-07 01:56:27 +0000 UTCPutting the angle-guide inside the square is a *great* design feature. - that really makes it a 2-in-1 tool that.

2024-12-06 23:39:47 +0000 UTCIt's really just unacceptable how Patreon or YouTube or whoever it is can't fix it!
Thomas Hverring
2024-12-06 23:01:24 +0000 UTCGreat idea. Couldn’t pick one up fast enough. I bought the vise block as well. Hmmm package deal?
joseph severson
2024-12-06 22:20:26 +0000 UTCI’d love to watch this video, but Patreon just charged me and now they want me to pay all over again to watch. I guess I am done watching your videos Ter even though I know this has nothing to do with you. Sorry.

2024-12-06 21:46:53 +0000 UTCThe leftie vise block is great news and I can't pass up a good layout tool (it's a sickness). Grabbed them both.

2024-12-06 21:18:33 +0000 UTCAwesome! Thank you!

2024-12-06 21:18:16 +0000 UTCPerfect timing! I was just looking at dovetail markers
