| Feb 23, 2022 at 20:20 | comment | added | Mazura | "... to make a bevel [on a door]?" - I was going to say, what the hell you using a 3 degree bevel for? Pretty much that, and only that, because that's not much of a bevel. | |
| Feb 23, 2022 at 19:47 | comment | added | user5572 | In conclusion, Reddit is wrong. Again. Qu'elle surprise. | |
| Feb 23, 2022 at 19:44 | comment | added | user5572 | And, present company excluded, seeing how awful the internet turned out from when I was a young politicized whippersnapper who was sure the internet (this was after ARCHIE and MUDs and before WWW) was going to free us all from corporate interests and save us from our own backwards tendencies... well, let's just say I have a rather dim view of most of what we call the internet these days. Now I will go outside and yell at the clouds. | |
| Feb 23, 2022 at 19:42 | comment | added | user5572 | I mean, in my house it was definitely hand-fit with plane installation. Never underestimate a pro's eye and thumb for getting a Good Enough fit on something that has to be custom fit anyway -- it's not like the jambs in my house were laser square either. | |
| Feb 23, 2022 at 19:40 | comment | added | Outdated Computer Tech | You can read the suggestions given from the post, table saw, hand plane, Rip saw. Anyone that did suggest the bit I posted in my question, was ignored. Honestly, this is what reddit has become, a left wing, reactionary, mob rule, group of child. Even the adults act mostly like children. Basically Lord of the Flies with Ralph as sub moderator. | |
| Feb 23, 2022 at 19:32 | comment | added | Outdated Computer Tech | To everyone wondering, this was the post: reddit.com/r/woodworking/comments/syxkk6/… It seems that after the OP got 2 responses that had nothing to do with answering his question (which is very common with reddit, no one really answers your question), he was frustrated and asked for help in finding a place that could answer his question, which was met with even more hate. | |
| Feb 23, 2022 at 19:20 | comment | added | Graphus | @jdv, while I kinda want to agree on Reddit in general there are a few practical subs with enough solid, dependable members that you can get good info and feedback on things. Woodworking is one of those, but the signal/noise ratio is going to wax and wane over time.... as it does on almost any forum — I recently read a couple of old threads on a few traditional fora (including FW's, UKW and SMC, which I believe are broadly considered to be dependable) and I regret to say they were excellent examples of how the consensus view can be horribly poor. | |
| Feb 23, 2022 at 19:10 | comment | added | FreeMan | heh... maybe I should pay more attention to the HNQ listing... :) | |
| Feb 23, 2022 at 19:07 | comment | added | Graphus | @FreeMan, we've actually been represented in the HNQ sidebar I think thrice this month. And yes, I'm as shocked as you are :-D | |
| Feb 23, 2022 at 17:38 | comment | added | FreeMan | Wow! This question made it to the HNQ list! ---> I wonder what the last Woodworking question on the HNQ was? | |
| Feb 23, 2022 at 14:45 | comment | added | gnicko | I don't see what the problem is. This kind of thing is what router bits do. | |

| Feb 23, 2022 at 13:34 | comment | added | user5572 | Also, if I may offer some unasked-for advice, it would be stop using Reddit for anything. It is literally the worst of the web on any subject. If the internet is the tragedy of the commons, then Reddit is the prime example of how to boost noise well over the signal. Only the dumbest things, by and large, get amplified on Reddit. | |
| Feb 23, 2022 at 13:30 | comment | added | user5572 | "Special" saws and rails are not "traditional" for sizing doors, that's for sure. This word "taditional" can, for many meanings of the word, actually often translate to "frugal". You would hang your doors to the best of your skill using the tools available to you at the time. | |
| Feb 23, 2022 at 12:15 | comment | added | Graphus | "Special saws and rails that cost hundreds to thousands." Well that's just, stoopid :-D As for the traditional methods, sure, I'm all in favour IF you have a hand plane already.... but then I'd imagine if the OP on Reddit had one he wouldn't have asked the question in the first place *le sigh* P.S. straightedge (which can even be built on a strip of flippin' hardboard) and circular saw = most of the functionality of a track saw, as we have addressed here in a few previous Q&As. | |
| Feb 23, 2022 at 10:08 | comment | added | Outdated Computer Tech | Traditional methods. Special saws and rails that cost hundreds to thousands. What else? | |
