No nonsense, just clear & easy to follow instructions. Good work & thank you!

[@valleyforgemtn]

Thanks great video. Music is unnecessary and interferes with hearing you.

[@SpringfieldGuy]

I was just going to make the same comment. Music distracts and detracts from your otherwise good video.

[@nicolasromero3917]

This is like the ninth speed square video I've watched tonight but the first time I've seen the circular saw fence trick mentioned. Good to know

[@omarm3649]

Great video from start till the end Thanks from the uk 🇬🇧

[@loumonte658]

Best speed square video I've watched to date. Well done sir.

[@TheCraftsmanBlog]

Thank you sir!

[@brandonpaugh922]

I do know most of the but learning the 2 things I didn't know, and the 1 thing Ive always been unsure of was completely worth every second.

[@hossainkarbassi3440]

You are a good teacher

[@marxug1]

You use the left-handed saw right-handed too! I’ve alwsys found that most comfortable myself.

[@oscarguerrero7865]

Thanks brother

[@anthonydunne7385]

Thank you.

[@jimquail587]

Very good tutorial. Thank you 👍

[@ikust007]

Thank you ! Finally an answer for the Pivot ! Cheers to you

[@areg6068]

[@johndeneen980]

Great job!

[@mindflood85]

solid video and explanation!

[@googleuser1992]

Good video except for the music
Visited for information not noise

[@thomasnappo6309]

Stanley Square looks like the best one..

[@ricdonato4328]

Turn off the background music! It is beyond me why UA-cam content creators think it necessary playing music over their voice. We came to hear and learn from you, now we must fight the music as well. Many folks have hearing difficulties, some have English language difficulties as well, all too quickly your background music becomes extremely annoying.
Try this, during your next client meeting as either one of you begin speaking turn up music to about the volume of your voice. My bet those in attendance will become annoyed, then demand you turn off the music.

Also, if you can, get the speed square that has the little adjustable fence, or guide on it so you can set it at the angle you want. Finding the seat cut with out the adjustable, locking fence is near impossible, and i know wtf I'm doing and am saying that. Someone will no doubt argue this withm, but im right, and they're not.

[@garykorzelius5930]

Excellent video

[@TheCraftsmanBlog]

Thanks Gary!

[@blaze806]

Great description on the uses for a speed square

[@TheCraftsmanBlog]

Thanks bro!

[@sparks6666]

Great video.

[@YODHEY7]

thanks

[@briggsdidnotstrapem7699]

Very informational video thanks.
I like the speed square the other way around when I’m cutting using a square as a guide which I don’t do a lot. Better grip for me when I’m pulling the square towards me and running the skill saw forward feels locked and secured. I’m just saying overall this was very educational and please put up more videos thank you.

I dont mean to be so off topic but does someone know of a trick to log back into an instagram account..?
I somehow forgot my password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me.

[@roycecoleman8292]

@Jace Eliseo Instablaster ;)

[@jaceeliseo5491]

@Royce Coleman thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and I'm trying it out atm.
Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@jaceeliseo5491]

@Royce Coleman it worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my ass :D

[@roycecoleman8292]

@Jace Eliseo You are welcome xD

[@normandofranca5430]

Nice video, Thank you.

[@ikust007]

Would you be kind enough to talk about the topics of the various système of lifting (pulleys, springs etc.) for the sash windows ? Thanks

[@kreatifconsultingconcepts840]

Are there plans for the lesson?

[@oliversilva6505]

Thank u

[@KLNYC]

[@mdthun4358]

Nice

[@DavidGurrney7589]

No music please besides it's annoying when you are trying to learn something 🥸🥸😵‍💫😵‍💫

[@christophernewell3660]

Please remove the music when you are talking.

[@eric4709]

Why oh WHY do you have to have the ANNOYING background music ???

[@seriousandy6656]

IT's 7" - 2 2x4s

[@andynguyen8342]

Why did you add music in the background. It’s so annoying.

[@eric4709]

ABSOLUTELY agree Andy. It TOTALLY spoils what is actually a good video. We want to concentrate on what is being SAID ... not listen to mind numbing music that is just... well... irritating. AND - I say that as a musician !!!

[@passenger3]

Swanson every single time - most brands arnt square

[@lazycarper7925]

music is crap and no use to the video

[@matthewthompson1783]

That is not what the diamond is for.

[@MrLouisPerrotta]

Lol yeah it's for your seat cuts.

[@angusblacky]

Twice I paused the video because I thought some annoying music had started playing on another tab, only to find that the music was part of this video. In case you haven't realized yet, please discontinue the music. It's intrusive, annoying, and counter-productive: I can't hear you over it.

[@rickster5241]

Get some hearing aids

[@joe226825]

A horrible waist of my time.
The Square has many uses which you don't know. No Pro tips here.
Go learn some real uses and the other markings on the Swanson Square..

[@TheCraftsmanBlog]

Let me know when you have your video on the REAL pro uses of a speed square posted and I'll be sure to stop whatever I'm doing and study it throughly.
