Thank you for the great explanation.
I was confused as to how to go about making notches in a 4 x 4 piece of wood.
From across the pond - I found that really useful, short, simple and straight forward. Great stuff.
Is that “pond” referring to Atlantic?
Never used a circular saw, just bought one and about to start work with it. I was confused because all videos say the blade has to be at a depth below what you are cutting, so good to see the versatility of uses in this video
I've just learnt a lot in 6 minutes. Just subscribed thanks.
Same here
Me too. Thanks
Well spoken & detailed. As a novice woodworker but someone who has always just dove in., I really appreciate the time you spend detailing not only the “how” but also the “why” . Thank you again!
I appreciate that Eric!
I’ve mostly used bridle & dovetail joints, but now that I’ve purchased a circular saw, I’ll be glad to add these other techniques to my toolbox
Thanks man, I got started woodworking a few weeks ago and how to create these type of joints was a mystery until now
I'm excited for you Conrado! Have fun!
I like this how it’s very straight forward information right away,thank you
One of the best instructional videos I've yet seen; no irritating blurb and all information delivered clearly and efficiently. Subscribed!
I always had a big rough rasp with me to smooth out the notch after you knock out the kerf pieces. The rough side of rasp removes the high spots and flip it over and couple strokes with the smoother side of rasp and you've got a nice smooth even notch! When the deck building craze of the 1980 's took off , we built a bunch of decks and made lap joints on deck posts to set ledgers on! I discovered what a great tool the old Stanley rasp is,and been using it since
Great tip! Thanks for taking the time to tell us Greg!
Thank you ! It's nice to have an explanation straight and to the point. Great demonstration. lol just learning at 63 year young off-grid woman. Many Blessings and Thank you again for sharing your knowledge.
I'm glad it was helpful Asharay, and thank you for the blessings!
I'm beginning to have interest with carpentry and power tools and your video helps alot. Easy to follow and understand.
Thank you for letting me know. :)
Great tips. I like your straight forward information style. I cut those notches same way. I use the same thickness scrap piece of wood in front of the notching piece as a guide - it helps keep all cuts same depth, no early lifting or dipping. Also, I find it easy to clean notches with horse rasp, probably works only with softwood.
Great info... thanks for the comment!!
Great tip to help avoid dipping!
Great job Josh, well explained and instructions easy to follow. God Bless Paul
Incredibly helpful, thank you! Still trying to be more precise with my circular saw, these tips will come in handy.
I love joints
Got a "C" in woodshop in Jr. High School. Wish you had been my teacher. Great video.
Blade change, nice touch, thank you.
Smart, understanding of showing things to people
Those joints are so useful, starting w/your 1st work table.
So important, U showing different ways of doing it. . Thnks & keep it up.
PS...Nice Shop..!
Thanks, will do!
Thank you so much ❤️ Learned a lot from this video. Great instructor
ah pretty straight forward video. I wanted to use some notches for a cross support for large over the bed bookcase style thing my wife wants. I'm a bit green to wood working so this will help alot.
Thanks for watching Matthew!
What a great video. Must have taken a lot of time to put together, much appreciated!
Wow! I too am building up knowledge. I am working on a pair of beveled glass pocket doors. I need to fill in the gap between the bottom of the glass panel which will butt up against the bottom frame. I am sure I am not describing this right, but after watching your video I think I may be able to use the dado. I am still thinking on it. But thanks for the information. Very useful.
Great teacher. Taught me more in 6 mins than I did back in school
Thanks a million sir..m a beginner in woodworking from malaysia.
Very nice information on joints. Could you please make a video on securing the joints. Thank you.
Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks my brother!
Glad I could help!
I've used this in the past,but it's been a few years. We're fixin to get into raising meat rabbits and I've got some hutches to build from mostly rough scrap lumber. Much of it is irregular so this is one way to keep the hutch frames looking decent even if they're not exactly square,plumb,and true.
Best video on this I have ever seen. Great explanations
Thanks man! I was notch sure how to do this properly until I watched your video!! 😊
Very good presentation style. I appreciate the speed of your narrative and the pacing of your video. I also liked the fact the you didn’t have background music. I wish you very good luck with your channel. I subscribed.
Much appreciated!
Thank God for you bro. So much useful info in an efficient amount of time.
Superb instructional video. Quick, simple and to the point. Excellent!
I liked all these joints and this is how i learned to cut them. Thank you for improving my manlihood by atleast 30%
That was great. I will be using what you showed.
Learning a lot from your videos. Thank you much.
Best video I’ve seen so far on the subject matter
very useful info indeed. best part is that you don't waste a lot of time on extraneous bla bla bla... you just give the info we need succinctly.
thanks!
Very well explained. Ran into you for the first time and immediately subscribed.
Awesome, thank you!
All are perfect
Thank you for this wonderful instruction.
Great gifted teacher. Thanks
I love the Indica kind of joint. :)
I’ve used the half lap to build fence gates for 25 years. Glued and screwed together. No call backs no failures.

Finally, can finish fixing that hole. Thanks! To the point, appreciated.

You are a great instructor and you make even the simplest things seem interesting! Thank you.
First time here and I'm hooked!
Pergerlers lmfao. Love that accent haha. We pronouncer pergolas per-goal-lahs in Australia and New Zealand 🇳🇿 🇦🇺
I think I like your accent better. :)
Hello... Novice here... if you decide to use one of the notched joints, does that eliminate the need to screw those together? Thanks for the great videos. I see where I've made past mistakes using a circular saw. This certainly bolstered my confidence and my desire to try my hand at more projects.
Perhaps it does, it just all depends on the application. Thanks for the comment.
Thanks for that great video and all the useful tips
You're welcome Gerald, nice to hear from you again! Be well.
Great tips!! I did learn something, thank you!
I'm an amateur carpenter,diesel mechanic by trade, when you add materials to knotch let's say for something like a kitchen island,do you need to fasten pieces or rely on knotches to have the strength needed as a shelf?
Hey Nick! Generally notches like this wouldn't be used for shelves. If you'd like to send me a picture and/or a message on Instagram, I might be able to better answer your question.
Great video, very informative. Are there any of these joints you wouldn't screw or nail together?
Depending on what the application is, simply gluing them together would work.
Great video ... got me thinking.
The best circular saw Makita number 👍 Only #Makita®✓
Great video thanks
How do you finish the joint
glue and screw
glue and clamp
Or Glue and nail
Hey John! Yes, anyone of those would work, it just all depends on what you are building. :)
Thank you. Newbie here!
Welcome!
Thank you, but how do we fasten them? What glue and where? Nails or screws and at what angles? Thanks again
If it is for an outside project, I would glue and screw.
If you don't have a chisel lift up the guard on your circular saw hit it with a polish plain
Thank u
Hi. I'm new to woodworking. I learned a lot from your video. I'm just trying to understand why a 45 degree mitre cut is not as good as a notch. Is it because it is more fragile of a joint?
