    I love the story board! Can't believe I never thought of it. I guess that's why you're the master and we're the students. 👍

    The story board is a great tip. I really like the method for cutting repeated thin strips too, I’m always cutting thin strips for a lot of my projects

    I just have to say, this is my first view of your channel. I am just starting to get interested in home woodworking as I come from a family of pretty impressive carpenters. I love how quickly you get into the "meat" of your videos, and how you don't waste time on needless opinions. It's all very helpful and succinct. Thank you.

    For mixing Epoxy: I cut the sides out of empty plastic milk jugs and use those for mixing on. No big advantage for clear epoxy, but for JB Weld and the like, incomplete mix swirls can be easily viewed through the bottom. Once cured, flexing the mix 'sheet' a little will pop off the remaining epoxy, leaving a clean sheet for next time.

Thank you for this and greetings from the Philippines Colin

    Very interesting, even for we who do not have a table saw. For example, the storyboard for setting fence position for cuts. I can use that method when setting up rip cuts on my radial arm saw. The only difference is that the fence is fixed and it is the blade that is moved to position.

    Thank you for this video. I have a beginners 10 inch Ryobi table saw that I bought a few years ago when I was getting into woodworking. I really don't like using it because the fence system absolutely horrendous. I like the storyboard idea. I used to cut strips of wood to use as quick spacers between the saw blade and fence but your method makes a lot more sense. It allows for many common measurements on a single piece of wood.
    I was thinking about rebuilding the table saw fence system. I bought the wood online today but after seeing this video I might not need to.

    @andrewk-majordochomerepair6014 3 роки тому

    Great new tips I haven't seen before. I had been considering purchasing the Rockler thin strip rip jig as being less expensive than making my own that fits into my mitre slot, but only having a jobsite Dewalt table saw, I've found the slot ISN'T machines the same width off by 1/64" to 1/32" - this makes making runners either too loose or too tight. The other issue is that is is slightly oversided for 3/4" so standard locking mitre bars are too loose (need to add tape). Simply using a long board on the opposite side of the fence with a "sample" width piece you want your thin strips to be and to be consistent solves all that other hassle and expense. Also super tip on refurbishing a home made zero clearance insert.

  • @ChemicalChrisOttawa
    @ChemicalChrisOttawa 6 років тому

    Very handy series of tips and tricks for the table saw, as a new guy in the hobby, it has been quite helpful.
    As a new guy, I did a bunch of book learnin', but no matter how 'prepared' one is, you don't realize what you don't know till you are looking at 50 razor sharp teeth coming right for ya at about 300 feet/second. With a lil hands on practice, you know what you need to learn, and this covered most of it for me (for now, of course, life is long after all).
    Your helpful vijeos has/will make my life easier, and more likely to die with all my original fingers, which is comforting (as a dude with a B.Sc in Chemistry, losing fingers was already a very real possibility, so I need all the help I can get).
    I would also like that thank ya for some of the info on kickback you've given over time. Had my first one today actually, I was pretty sure it would happen (thanks to your info), so I made sure when the suspect fragment got thrown, it would go into the cement wall (not me), and my hands would be well in a safe spot. I mention this as had I acquired these tricks this morning, I would have known how to make the cut safely. Of course, I might have forgotten as us human peoples tend to not remember stuff so great unless we realize our life depends on it. But now I know and am quite thanful.
    Oh, and I kinda wanted to experience kickback in a controlled way, to feel how it happens in a controlled manner, rather than be surprised (and hurt) later on. Also, I got to test it out in front of a friend (I was helping him make shelves), so I got to look super bad ass and add a few stamps to my man card.
    Hey, my Dad wasn't handy, so I am learning from the ground up, and you have been very helpful in that pursuit. Thank you.
    PS I have a question (if you are able to get around to getting to it, of course); I have an older crappy Cryobi portable table saw. The issue is that the fence is crap. It doesn't stay parallel to the blade when clamped down, only going all KattyWompus on an angle. Other than using a tape measure to ensure alignment each time (thanks for the tip), is there any method you are familiar with that could save me a fussin and a feudin by improving the fence I have?
    Please bear in mind, the Cryobi was a free gift, would not be my first choice if it was my money. And the frustration of multiple measurements and calibration between different cuts drive me nuts, and I figure if there's an easier way, you'll know it.
    Have a good one eh,
    and
    "I'll catch ya on the flipside"
