I love watching Steve do actual woodworking! (Don’t get me wrong! I have loved the lockdown videos! But I love seeing Steve teach!)
12:55 - Thanks for keeping this in. Many channels would edit out a take like that. "It's ok to be a mere mortal."
I bought a used mitre saw about 3 years ago and it came with an accessory that I could not see a use for. I never throw anything away so I held on to it. Steve used it to lock a stop block in place. An aha moment for me. So this is what that’s for. This is the only time I have ever seen it used. Another good reason to watch this channel.
I really like this project the way it is spread over multiple episodes. I especially like the cross sharing with Antonio's progress updates.
It really makes it more realistic to me.
Thank you for not editing out your mistakes. You could have fixed the tray size and reshot the test and played it off like you nailed it the first time, but instead you showed us how to recover from a mistake and why dry fitting is important.
Very natural instructor. Easy to watch and listen to.
New to the channel, new to woodworking. I could have used some of these tips a couple of weeks ago. I learn stuff from you every time I watch a video. Thanks for taking the time to explain things.
Incredible teaching! Thorough, concise, and you hit every detail.
A perfect Saturday morning: coffee and Steve's new video!
Steve, I really like these deep dive videos on setting up the saw and the Grrriipper (by Microjig). BTW: It's time again for a Halloween video that "nobody watches"... Except for me... I watch them 😁
I second the Halloween video! I watch them!
Good lesson about always measuring where you put the stop block, even when the saw comes with a ruler. The other option would be to get some left and right reading ruler tape, and tape over that ruler BUT don't forget to check that and adjust it if necessary when you change blades (not all kerfs are exactly equal, and some kerfs are intentionally narrow or wide).
Good video with a clear and simple explanation of what to do and why. Though I must admit I was hoping for a cat bridge video. ;)
Using rubber bands for the quarter inch plywood drawer glue up is a very good tip. Thanks. Need to make some drawers this weekend and I am going to follow this 👍
Steve, this lockdown series could be renamed, how to solve woodworking problems. No wonder it has been so successful!
Nice job explaining when and why you could use rip fence and miter gauge at the same time, very helpful safety info. in this video.
Ya know, it was those silly "Gripper" ads that endeared me to your channel in the first place. Definitely appreciate the touch of silly wit and "dad joke" humor, in the parlance of our times.
Class in-depth as always
Thank you for explaining this in a way that is easy to understand.
After watching the clamping method, couldn't help but start singing; “Hey, y’all, prepare yourself for the rubber band man. You’ve never heard a sound like the rubber band man. You're bound to lose control when the rubber band starts to jam- Oh, this dude is outta sight! Everything he does seems to come out right!” :D
I love all the details in this deep dive. It really brings a lot of your lessons in focus to watch you set up each cut and bring the whole thing together. One simple complete project is a great way to learn! Thanks, Steve!
this was a good, slow, detailed, informative video..
Suggestion: Use some steel electrical work boxes on the inside of the corners to square up your corners and hold the sides upright. These boxes are generally square and you can use spring clamps to hold the box together while you glue and rubber band clamp the perimeter.
Cheers!

Pretty nice work, Steve! 😃
Looking forward to the next part!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
I’m not sure if it’s dealt with much in these times of COVID-19, but videos like these ease my mind in that I’m not alone in the world. Steve, even bough I don’t know you, it feels like I’m actually hanging out in your garage with you and we’re just talking while we build some stuff... and randomly one of us asks the other things like, “ah... you’ve got a micro jig, I was looking at getting one, do you love yours? Tell me about what you don’t like about it.” Or “how much do you worry about tolerances when making something for yourself? Does it change when it’s a gift for someone? A client?”... keep up the wonderful work, we appreciate the videos on a visceral level.
You are the Bill Nye of woodworking! Great video production!
you are best teacher steve +1
I didn't have any rubber bands when trying to build the drawers for the drop down workcenter and I ended up just gluing one corner at a time to minimize the likelihood of any torsional forces kicking them out of square. It's much slower, but it worked and the piece is better for it. Great videos, tips, and ideas as always!
nice one. cool tip i saw on youtube was that rather than a rubber band, use painter tape as a lightweight clamp to hold the sides of a box. not only is it easy to hold together but you can unfold it easily for glue up.
Great video. I love the small box making.
I noticed your 2 most recent videos aren't on the "Lockdown Woodworking" playlist. Have you stopped updating that for all future videos?
I've really enjoyed being able to use that playlist to ensure I am able to watch all of these in order without missing episodes. It's nice to not have to rely on The Algorithm to show me when new episodes are available or to put them in the right order.
I've been loving this vlog format and I'm glad it's your new normal!
Very true when it comes to plywood Steve!
On the miter saw, shouldn't you have measured from a tooth since the teeth are wider than the body of the blade?
Rubber Band Man, great video. I almost hope this virus doesn't go quickly. Cheers John
Cool!!! Looks Great!!! Thank You For Sharing!!!! 👍😎
a few 1-2-3 blocks can be useful as stands to set thin/small sides agains when making small boxes.
That's very helpful. Thanks for the tip. Glad I remembered to look at the comments. 👍🙂
Steve, why not extend the fence on the miter gauge beyond the blade and run the fence through the blade? Then you would know exactly where the blade cuts and could measure from the end of the fence instead of the blade.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. It also backs up the cut so the off-cut won't have tear-out. More of that piece will be useable for the next project.
Steve! Can you do a video where you use no power tools? Could be interesting to see what we'd all be in for if we attempt a more natural method of wood working!
Nice 👍
Awesome Update Steve !
COOL!!!
Thanks Steve!
nice work
I do miss the Gripper ads from way back.
ditto, and Steve's hilarious pre-into for it
What's crazy is that they stopped in 2017 and yet I still think about it almost every new video lol.
Lol
Me too and just when you think you knew the answer to the question..."Grrripper!!! (by Microjig)"...Hahaha!! Gotcha! 😁
Good video 👍
Hi can’t wait
Hey Steve, great video! Could you make a Deep Dive video of making a picture frame on the table saw and miter saw from one Big Box store pine board? I’m finding that my miters aren’t coming out perfect even though I’m following all the same processes you use in your videos.
YOU ROCK
Tiny rabbits are kind of cute. Even when they are spelled rabbet😉
BTW... I have had my miter saw for 25+ years and you mean to tell me THATS WHAT THOSE CLAMPS ARE FOR....... I always thought they were just to stabilize or hold certain odd small or difficult cuts....granted I have always had a Folding saw stand with sliding supports and stop "blocks" built in... but OH WOW! gotta go dig out those clamps out of the junk box in the shed....
"hit the sketch up" 😂
I used a bandsaw to cut the top. Smooth as glass, a perfect fit.
Can you make a video about what kind of joint should be used for certain things?
Halloween this year, attempting to build a trebuchet to launch treat bags with a parachute ( like those paratrooper toys from 25 cent machines) - for contactless delivery.
Ever think about buiding a catio for Corba and Bubbles?
Cheap acid brushes are a great way to spread wood glue.
Steve, I noticed you measure to the blade tooth on the table saw but locked the mitre saw down and measured to the body of the blade. Why not measure to the tooth on the mitre saw blade as well?
Glad to see I wasn't the only one thinking the same thing LOL! When I use Steve's stop-block method on the mitre saw, I bring the non-running blade down on a scrap piece so the blade makes a small dent where the cut will be, then measure again to make sure I will be cutting to the desired length. Although I'm probably over thinking it :D
Steve’s table saw blade teeth extended beyond the edge of the blade (kerf) and his miter saw blade is flat so the measurement is the same in the center of the blade and the outside edge teeth
Teri Singleton What blades is he using? On every saw blade I’ve used (table saw or mitre saw) the teeth are wider, if only slightly, than the blade body.
Steve "Get your shine box, Spider" Ramsey
If you have multiple pieces of stock, you can 'Gang Cut' your pieces by stacking the stock and cutting several pieces at once, and they will all be the same length - at least if you clamp or tape the bundle of stock together. That sort of drawer would be pretty good for inside drawers for your router table update, just use slightly thicker wood, maybe 3/4 for the bottom and just drill blind holes to store router bits in. Painters Tape is just Masking Tape with a fancier price tag.
I somehow missed this video and well, you use rubber band like clamps, can't be too many. :D
Hi steve thank you. Hope your ok in California
You could use the plans to figure the size of the inside box ( oops, that didn't work so well ), or could just mrasure the box itself.
Hi Steve, I was suddenly wondering: what was your job before you became a full time UA-camr?
Hello steve, 11:37 i've notice that you slide your miter gauge from the front of the table saw, it is easier if you slide it from the back of the saw, so you dont have to fit the tip when you start sliding. I hope i make any sence.
Impresses of how you divided the video
I have been looking at buying a miter saw lately and have noticed that several of them don't have the holes in the fence. I have been leaning toward getting one with a 7.25" blade with a sliding arm, so it is much smaller to save space, but it can still cut a 10" wide board. Max thickness to cut is 3.375", which if you have noticed the lumber at the orange store have been labeled lately as 1.375" instead if 1.5".
You can drill your own holes in the fence if it doesn't have them. You might need to use bolts to secure the fence though.
You can always drill your own hole through the fence (with cobalt drill bits and some lubricating fluid)
Do you have a video on how to cut rabbits without a table saw?
I've recently gotten into woodworking thanks to your channel so I dont have many tools yet. I do have a circular saw and mitre saw though.
What tape measure are you using? I like the way the fractions are marked.
What brand of tape is that it's cool it's got all the measurements already on it that would help me out a lot what brand and model number that is awesome
"It worked in rehearsal" - that's what John Cameron Swayze said.
💜💜
I might be interested in the course, however I have not heard what the cost of the course actually is.
I understand you have costs to cover and whatnot, however I have never heard or seen the cost of your course advertised anywhere.
Perhaps I was overwhelmed by the videos. Thank you for the videos and I’m hoping you can enlighten me where I am in the dark. Thanks, Frank.
Thanks for your interest! There are 3 courses. Prices range from $97 to $197. You can compare them all at theweekendwoodworker.com/
Does he have plans for the Mitre Saw Cart?
😊👍
We have the same saw! I bet we eat the same thing. Say it on 3! Ok 3...2....1 Captain Crunch!
One can never have too many.... rubberbands.
anyone know what brand of measuring tape used in this video. Don't normally see them with the fractions and wanting to find one
like this for my son.
I'm new to the channel but exactly who is Antonio? I feel like this is a callback to a prior video or something
This box is definitely not for newbies I would cut off my fingers and it make a great Halloween show
Have you ever ripped a Gripper? :)
Rubber bands can make the best "clamps" sometimes. Especially when you have an irregular shape. I try to keep some on hand.
I see you have a ripping blade on your miter saw (low number of teeth, large gullets), is there a particular reason ?
7:43 Every European just quits ;-)
Would there be any time you'd measure from different points on the blade (like the centre or the opposite edge)?
Only time I use the center of the blade is if I want to cut a board in half. I draw a line in the center of the board and cut the line in the center of the blade.
Sometimes I find myself measuring to the far side of the blade when positioning a dado or groove but it depends on how my plans are drawn and the orientation of the work piece.
You know, wal mart sells boxes pretty cheap.
Hello can u help me how to fix the stop collar on my drill bit? i cant open it with the hex key. pleaseeee
Time for smoko
93rd.
You do know that a camera gives out negative vibes when it's filming..🤣
Camera? Film? Negative? Haw haw!
Any reason not to cut the rabbet for the bottom along the full length and then cross cut into 4 pieces?
If you're making all the cuts on a table saw, it is to reduce the number of times you need to change the blade. You need to cut rabbets on the sides of 2 of the pieces of the box. You can't do that until they're all cut to size. So unless you want to change your blade from dado, to regular, back to dado, this is the faster way of doing it. Also, this way you aren't messing with the height of your dado stack so it cuts all rabbets consistently.
3:40 That's what she said!
Can you link the tape measure someone please
Teach us how to make a rustic American flag!!!
thank you for being human, we all make reactionary adjustments to unforeseen dimensional conflicts.....(notice I didn't use the M word)
Second comment is better than the first. 😁
Why the rubber bands and not clamps?
Question
On the box why didn’t you use the quarter ,quarter,quarter method
On quarter-inch (6mm) plywood, that would be eighth, eighth, eighth, and the tongues might be kinda weak, and possibly difficult to cut. Just a thought. What do you think? I'm still a newbie and may be over-thinking this. 🤪
Actually it’s the same process except for a dato rather than a rebate
I can explain why 1/4" ply isn't 1/4".......... Because it's 6 mm. I don't know when it happened, but Birch ply has gone metric for thickness. Go figure.
Which would mean that it’s 5.5mm here in the UK. In much the same way that 4mm is 3.6mm.
Makes no sense to me at all. But there you go.
@@lifeofmrordinary Ok... Why would it be 5.5mm in the UK? Nominal vs Actual? (Which I just realized I hadn't accounted for)
In Australia its 7mm not 6mm or 6.35etc.
Ima jump in here and say great video even before I’ve watched it because I don’t want to let the opportunity to be comment #9 pass. It’s my favorite number and video was posted 9 minutes ago.
Everything okay? You look somehow 10 years younger 🤫
Please oil those miter slots! Argh that noise!
