Awesome, thank you!

Oh wow! I wish I would have seen this video before I built my rug tufting frame. That was my 1st time using a circular saw, and the only thing I knew about a speed square was how to use it to scribe a straight line. I’ll be building a larger tufting frame soon, and I’ve saved this video to my reference playlist. You walked me through changing the cord on my pendant lamp earlier this afternoon too! I wish you were still making videos because the 2 that I watched today really helped me out a lot. ✌🏼💜🛼

Thanks for the positive feedback. We have loved creating these videos but as it goes life gets busy. We are hopeful to get back to some new content soon.

@@gallery710 I totally understand that! I've wanted to make crafting videos for years, but real life keeps me too busy to learn how to record & edit videos that would meet my quality standards. Regardless of whether y'all are able to start making tutorials again, I'll still be using your old videos for reference. Best wishes!

What if I'm trying to cut a straight line on a large piece of wood and it's uneven on all sides?

I would square up one side of the material to create your reference surface.
