  • For absolutely perfect table saw joinery you need a blade-width shim! This is a great way to make shims, for any thickness of blade, without even measuring the blade. This would also work great for cutting splines for mitered corners.
    NEED A BLADE THAT LEAVES A FLAT BOTTOM? CHECK THESE OUT:
    The Flat Grind Blade That I Use- amzn.to/337590J
    A Less Expensive Alternative- amzn.to/2HrRFoI
    Another Less Expensive Alternative- lddy.no/rfkd
    (Please keep in mind that I do not own and have not used the less expensive blades. But these are Flat Tooth Grind ripping blades and at a much lower cost. It's good to have options!)

    Literally said "THAT IS FREAKING GENIUS!" as I saw you doing it. The simplest trick and yet I never would've thought of it, definitely using this one!

    I’m 76 and been working with wood for 1year, thanks for woodworkers like you I’ve not been hurt and learned do such, thanks for your videos, everything I make I give away to friends and family, that way no one can complain, thanks again

    @anneoreilly4900 3 роки тому +6

    As a newbie, I’m not ready to have my hands that close to the blade with unsecured (2) pieces of wood. But with a crosscut sled and some hold down clamps...
    I’m enjoying the real life measuring videos. Thx.

    This is quite possibly one of the most useful woodworking tip vids I've ever seen. As I'm certain several people mention below, this is the perfect way to cut key strips for keyed/splined miter joints. I wish I'd have known this technique - it would have saved me literal hours (and a lot of nice walnut) trying to dial in the 'perfect' spline thickness.

  • @StevenHearndon
    @StevenHearndon 3 роки тому +5

    That's a really clever technique. With UA-cam having an abundance of woodworking channels, you have to find ways to differentiate yourself, and I think you've been doing that quite well. I've gotten a lot of helpful info from your videos and I have no doubt that will continue.

    Last night I watched your previous video on the half lap. I thought to myself... He needs to show how to make a kerf wide shim to match the blade thickness. Voila! You did it and kudos!!! Love it! Good on ya!
