Never have gone to college, woodworking is self-taught. You pick up bad habits and lack a lot of tips, channels like yours help me improve myself and my works, thank you
A bit unfair. Many college courses give students the space and facilities they don't have at home. Nowadays, college students also follow UA-cam videos which keeps the tutors on their toes (many of the tutors also make YT videos). It's a pattern for all trades. Eg our regular heating and gas engineer is one of the few tradespeople we know who has a son going into the trade - getting all his certificates and watching videos and talkign stuff through with his dad who is, as a result, learning new relevant stuff too. A few years ago, YT vids were often unhelpful, dangerous, bad sound, bad lighting, bad camera angles but now we have good bandwidth and high quality productions
@@MrFoxLoganwhile I did go to college, it wasn't for woodworking. I am both self and YT taught. I initially got into it as a hobby for gifts but am now selling cutting boards alongside my day job.
@@joshuaquick5511yeah youtube is great, although im self-taught UA-cam has shown me some nasty habits I've been doing and also some safe shortcuts I should have been doing. You can always learn something new.
As a child of the 60s,i hated woodwork at school, simply because the teacher didn't have time for us, it was a case of here's a piece of wood, and do something with it, I'm off the teach higher grade students, but now I love it, over the years I've done most of the carpentry in my houses, all self taught, from books, no you tube then, and I really enjoy stuff like this, I wish as a pupil at school we would have had this fella, who knows what I could have done, all it takes is a spark, and he has it in bucket fulls.. 😂
Okay, I have watched EVERY woodworking video on UA-cam and have never seen this method. I remember in engineering school how the simplest, most logical approach could often be the most elegant solution and this one is that. Great option for all shops, especially small ones. (Well, maybe not watched every video, but I have earned a Master of DIY from UA-cam U.)
Nevermind the jigs etc, what interests me is the state of the tools etc in the background. This is a proper workshop with more than likely multiple jobs going on at the same time, hence stuff all over the place. In contrast to other UA-cam "shops" where the tools are all on peg boards, racks of drills and more Festool boxes than Festool have in the warehouse, and not a pick of sawdust anywhere. I would show my bench if I could find it... Nice one Stuart.
I couldn't agree more. I think all us diy and beginners should just instantly boycott and video that opens up with a shot of a guy or girl standing in a workshop with the wall behind them adorned with green and white from floor to ceiling. Let's start a movement 👍
Someone was explaining how much they made from You Tube videos and said all you see in the Background is Advertising for that particular company and they receive a fee for it.

Leonardo DaVinci once said, "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." This is the perfect example of that. What a great video, my friend. Thanks so much for sharing. Cheers!
New subscriber here due to this video alone. As people from the U.K are so fond of saying "this is absolutely brilliant." I have a feeling you are going to disappoint some sellers who make those really expensive guides that attach to your track saw to make repeatable cuts. This is every bit as accurate, and so much cheaper too! Thanks so much.
What a brilliant tip. I have had a circular saw for at least 20 odd years, and it was always a pain to do repeat cuts. I shall never look back now I'm armed with this tip. Has to be one of your best so far!! Thanks for sharing it Stuart!!!
in my 50 years of working with Wood, I have struggled with this very same issue. Your solution is top notch. I wish that I had thought of it along time ago. Thank you.
This has been incredibly helpful! My school cancelled shop class, so I lost my access to a table saw. I almost bought a contractor/job site saw, but luckily, I found this video, and now I don't need the extra expense. Thank you!
Thank you, I'm not very experienced at working with wood and have recently purchased a circular saw. Trying to get consistent cuts is something I have been working on, but this method is great! I hadn't thought of doing it and will certainly be using it where precision matching is key. Thank you.
I thought that I was watching your channel for entertaining only, but your trick for repeating cuts with a track saw is fantastic. You taught me something new. Thanks. Keep up 5he good work😊
I have watched a myriad number of woodworking and diy videos during my learning journey so far and yours are consistently the most well explained and considered however I would venture that this is possibly one of the finest, simplest and ingenious solutions to a perennial problem most diyers face. I tip my cap to you sir, bravo!
Ridiculously simple and absolutely clever method! I currently was thinking about a method as I am planning to make some kitchen cabinets to a friend and I only have a track saw. My ideas were overcomplicated and half this reliable. Thank you!
Definitely a keeper. Also, never knew Freud made a chop saw. Love their shop vacs, multi-tool, blades and router bits. Guessing the quality is the same.
This is one of the most use- and helpful videos I've ever seen. Thanks SO much! It's so obvious that it must work, and without any measuring at all, that's the best thing!
As a fairly new, though rather ancient, DIY-er, the hardest thing for me is to cut ply sheets perfectly straight, square and at accurately repeatable sizes. I've tried all kinds of things but keep having problems when using my circular saw for this kind of thing. This is such a great idea! Can't wait to try it out on the carcasses I'm building for a set of workshop drawer units. Your videos are really excellent and I can't thank you enough for what you do. 🙂
I must say I’m blown away by this simple jig yet so accurate I’ll be using this jig the only problem is every time I use it I’ll think of you and I don’t know if that’s a good thing or bad thing lol
This is absolutely brilliant. I wish I’d known about this when I was making a wardrobe with shelves. Simple but clever as well - a bit like myself without the clever bit 😅 thanks for sharing 👌🏻
Great video Stuart !!! Woodworking can become a very expensive hobby if you go down the branded name route , so its great to see videos like this, thay shows people very afforadable methods of doing woodwork as woodwotking can be a very good way of relaxing and dealing with stress related issues, well done and thank you !!!! 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
As a new track saw owner I appreciate these videos to help me become more accurate. I'd love a video on dust extraction management using multiple tools and types of shop vac options. Great work, thanks!
Ohhhhh, this one's gonna come in super useful, Stuart. Nicely done. Y'know the best bit is the simplicity of it, and yet I probably would never have thought of it until years down the line. I guess many of the best ideas are the simpler ones. Great vid!
Proper Top Tip there Stuart - no-nonsense straight-forward and to the point - this will be really helpful to many makers although they may be disappointed that they don't "need" to buy more expensive kit ! Exact-e-mont ! 🤣
Simple and genius. I have the same lidl tracksaw and have thought about making a diy MFT but haven't made the plunge as my projects are few and far between. This is a great solution... quick to produce with scraps, no need to measure, no worry about being square. Bookmarked this one.
This is brilliant. I thank you so much. I only have a circular saw-no room for a table saw. And I always struggled with figuring out how to make all the shelves the exact same length! I’ve daydreamed adding a stop block to my crosscut jig, but this is SO much simpler.
That is awesome and perfect timing, it is gonna be so useful in my next upcoming project making loads of shelves. So simple as well. Just brilliant 👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks for that great tip I’m making some new kitchen units so will use this method. I’ve just bought the park side saw a bargain at £75 loving using it
A cracking video! This method is pure gold and would have saved me a lot of headache last weekend. However, I have a similar project to complete this weekend and will use this tip guaranteed. Thank you for the superb content! Cheers 👍😎🇦🇺
Like it! I just completed my first cabinetry project. I made a simple jig for my circular saw to be used in combination with long straight edge like a level or similar. I ripped two small blocks of ply now to get the distance from outside of my saw bed to the blade on each side. I then used whichever one matched the directions I was cutting as a offset template to set the straight edge up parallel to a line and to run the saw against. With a thin pencil line this proved very accurate. I also used it to repeat cuts for multiple panels. Cut the first panel as above then lay this on top of the next, squaring up as many side as possible. Then use the offset template to setup the straight edge exactly along the cut line of the top panel. Cut along this line and the bottom panel (panels depending on depth limit of saw) will be near on exact to the top panel. Good enough for my diy project anyway! Love the videos!
Simple and ingenious! The only downside compared to the jigs I usually see probably is that, as you tend to change the line of cut with every different piece, you have to exchange the bottom board when it gets so dented it gets difficult to level the piece to be cut.
This video is very good. If you use the Kunlun tooth saw blade we developed, you can achieve higher results. The Kunlun tooth can make the upper and lower sides without chipping, bursting, or cracking.
genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you. this is it. i kept thinking there has to be a better way of making repeatable cuts than measure draw line etc etc. i bought the kreg rip cut and its not very accurate/flimsy to hold. after scouring youtube, this is what i was looking for. its so simple but i would have never thoguht of it. like a mitre saw stop block oriented horizontally.
The graphical representation of why the cut width will be perfect was better than a thousand words.
Mind blowing idea innit?
Genius is often about making things simpler. This is genius.
This has to be the best video on youtube. No doubt! Totally eliminates both the table saw and miter saw (for 90-degree cuts).
Never have gone to college, woodworking is self-taught. You pick up bad habits and lack a lot of tips, channels like yours help me improve myself and my works, thank you

I just used this trick to build 16 drawer boxes! I can’t thank you enough for sharing this!!!😊
A practical application of "the best measurement is no measurement at all".
Very clever, and another step towards why I don't need to buy a table saw.
Leonardo DaVinci once said, "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." This is the perfect example of that. What a great video, my friend. Thanks so much for sharing. Cheers!

I love it. 👌🏻
Thanks, you just saved me money on a table saw. Great tip.
I just recently spent all the bucks on a table saw, and I’m STILL obsessed with this tip 😀!
The kerf got me thinking when I built my jig for repeatable cuts. Thanks for the video.

12:54 This is genius. I have never seen any other videos like this super simple type of approach on making repeatable cuts
Thank You Stuart
Brilliant video. This should be taught by all teachers. Thanks.
Brilliant method, especially for anyone whose workshop has a limited footprint or who does not have a table saw or even a track saw. Thanks! 😊
Wowwwwww if you could have just make this video 10 years ago... amazing tip really amazingly explained
Thanks Stuart I’ve been a joiner nearly all my life and I didn’t know that……. I’ve learnt something today. Thank you😊😊😊😊
Proper instruction, proper illustration and a proper channel!
Brilliant, this limits the need for a tablesaw in a smaller DIY workshop, and I can make good quality at the same time. Thanks for sharing
I'm so impressed with this jig. I've only just bought my track saw and now I cant wait to use it just how you showed us. Thank you so much.
Thank you, I'm not very experienced at working with wood and have recently purchased a circular saw.
Trying to get consistent cuts is something I have been working on, but this method is great!
I hadn't thought of doing it and will certainly be using it where precision matching is key.

damn - so simple and yet so effective especially with the bonus of visuals -- you earned my subscription sir!
