Peanut 2 or Lamello Tenso? [**Gifted/Ad][video 450]

Can a plywood jig and cheap router really take on the £1300 #Lamello #Zeta P2 and #Tenso connector in a straightforward cabinet construction? In this video I find out when I use my #Peanut2 #MiniJig from @IntelligentFixings (available direct, or through @AxminsterTools) and my DIY dedicated carcass / cabinet jig. Enjoy!

It's always a pleasure to watch a skilled craftsman work!

I think I may have to lay off these vidoes fora while. I'm seriously contemplating building our new kitchen from scratch :D

domino jig would be awesome :-) another interetsing video Peter. Thank you

[airwolf]

Many thanks Peter youve got me in trouble with my wife again alls i get now is “ Well if Peter can make that in 50 minutes then then why does it take you 6 months to do a small job “ thankyou Peter 👍👍👍👍

Thanks for the comparison, Peter. A loose tenon jig sounds like a very god idea to me!

[johnbarlow]

Thank you Peter - very informative. 55mins to complete - I’d just be finishing my coffee and wondering where to start at that time! Regards

Peanut 2. Beware of expensive immitations... Great video.

I've had a 4k monitor for a while, but have just found a 4k PC video card for £40! It makes a massive difference and what I hadn't realised was that you are one of the few DIY channels broadcasting in 4k. Very sharp picture, and thanks for a great watching experience :)

[licurgius]

Very nice Peter. I have a mini-jig and I was thinking of building jigs for standard sizes as well. After seeing the impressive and unexpected results of your video, I'll definitely start doing that asap! Thank a lot for your valuable content!

A loose tenon jig sounds very interesting - another great video - thanks Peter 👍

[danielrisberg]

Interesting! Thank you for all your work put in to this!

Great video. There is one advantage I think the Tenso / Lamello has over the Peanut. Obviously with the Peanut, you have to start with the pieces offset from each other when doing the joining / assembly. They're offset by 10mm or whatever the length is, and then they slide together to form the joint. The Tenso just clips on directly from above, without that offset. This would be advantageous for a situation where you need to attach a trim piece to an already-installed cabinet where there may not be any room to "offset" the pieces from each other before joining. But otherwise, I like the Peanut much better, In my case I have a 4x8 CNC machine and would MUCH rather just buy the Peanut router bit and use my CNC to cut the slots rather than have to spend $1, 500 on the Lamello Zeta and then rout the slots by hand. I thought Festool tools were overpriced but that Zeta P2 takes it to another insane level!

Unexpected outcome indeed!
A ‘domino’ jig for us poorer folk would be appreciated. Tamar made an amazing one a few weeks ago but a simpler one would be good to see too.

The Wood Knight has also tackled the loose tenon jig approach; be interesting to see the different techniques between both of you :)

[michaelkaye]

Another great video. I don’t see myself putting cabinets together with these types of fixings but tucked it away for future use.

An interesting revise by me on the Peanut jig with your comment ‘I am all jigged out but it does occur to me you could make a domino jig’ and how history unfolded from here. It is fun to see these older videos again if just to see how you transformed your workshop over time.

Brilliant Peter - I for one would LOVE a domino / router jig vid when you feel up for it

[murphymmc]

One thing was very clear, your experience and skills had you standing there and regrouping a whole lot less than you'd see me do. In the fast forward it was as seconds of contemplating, with me you'd have a challenge editing out the " now where was I" parts. The peanut system was a win in my book. Assembly appeared to have less of the balancing act of the Lamello system. Consumables and initial outlay would play a large role as the ultimate endgame is a bit smoother system with lower costs. I don't have an unlimited

Again Peter another awesome and informative video. The loose tenon would be a good video. These sort of videos really help the DIY'er with a limited budget achieve great results 👍. Thanks very much again

[daviddickson]

That’s brilliant Peter. Thanks for sharing
