Dude. Adding the lag bolt to the wooden clamp handle=genius. Among other helpful tips, I love finding ways to implement my power tools into traditionally menial tasks.
You should be able to add the bolt to the modern plastic handles in the same way as the wooden handles to.
Awesome book that gives you step-by-step photos ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt and directions to make every day project. I can see myself making a few of these projects and giving them as housewarming and holiday gifts!
I am not a woodworker just a lover of good carpentry and I am having a good morning watching your antics. Priceless!
Put the setup block lengthwise along the blade. Raise the blade. Any part of the blade reaches the top surface of the block first is the center and also set to the correct height.
any part of the blade? what if the tooth of the blade is not directly at the top? the blade needs to be turned on like he showed to make sure the peak of the blade is accurate
@@tysonkoehn1 you have to assume some modicum of common sense with people doing a skill like woodworking with power tools you know. With the power off, manually rotate the blade to check for high spots.
@@martinmoss317 if your set up block is directly over the insert lengthwise like you mentioned, how do you manually turn the blade while it's lowered inside the saw and cover by the block?
I know what you meant....👍👍
@@tysonkoehn1 on the insert next to the blade man. Set block next to blade, adjust so as you manually turn the blade the highest point only comes even with the setup block. You're not putting the block over the blade itself.
There are also downcut blades for jigsaws to avoid blowout, for instance the Bosch T101BR blades.
Thank you never heard of them man!!!!!
@@michaelprescott387 be mindful of them though, they tend to "chatter" a lot worse than up cut blades.
@@travisdoe4663 yeah you have to push down harder on your saw but it's worth it.
designed primarily for cutting laminate from the top side (sinks cutouts, etc)
@@mattrinne also turn off the oscillation setting on the jigsaw 👍
That coffee grinder trick is absolute genius 👌 can't tell you how many hours I've wasted over the years going the orbital sanding / emptying dust collection route...
You sir, deserve a very large bourbon 🥃
LOL, Bourbon Robot and calories. At 74, just now getting back into woodworking. My decanter and cigar humidor has been moved safely away from the work bench. But I find myself moderating my woodworking, and enjoy life's little pleasures all the more. Love watching your videos. I've learned a hell of a lot.
Your chanel explode in the last two years! Good job!
I really like these videos I've been wood working for about 40+ years and there is always something new to learn. I have the Rockler clamps for the saw fence but the way I mark the abor center (I know every one has there own way sorry) I just raise the blade to nick the bottom of the wood pc then lay a flat square up to it and scribe my line no need to move anything. No square just cut a piece of scrap to 90* and mark.
One other thing I would point out is if you steam wood or soak it with hot water to get a dent out WAIT until the wood is dry BEFORE you sand it. If you let it dry it will be slightly above the surface and can then be sanded flush. If you sand it WET it will dry and be slightly below the surface and leave a slight mark. Give it a try on some scrap. As long as the wood fibers aren't cut from what ever caused the dent you can get out some pretty big dents to where they leave no trace. Thanks RCW
Ha, good on ya man!

I must say, I have been in the custom woodworking business for a while but I still enjoy watching, I occasionally have your channel on in our showroom
Awesome video, picked woodworking up last year all self taught... soo done all these things haha, thank you very much from N.Ireland
The 14:27 "brand new saw from harbor freight" gave me a chuckle
those Harbor Freight saws have come along way!
Hey pal! That music on this video is just as good as your Cointreau Margarita recipe! Enjoyed it more, Thanks!
i hate your "antics". but i love your skill. nothing but love. i think you are awesome.
I love your videos! You present useful information and (sometimes great, sometime very good) humor/entertainment at the same time. I also like watching you struggle sometimes because I do, in real life and when not acting.
I have another tip for finding the dead center of the table saw blade: Before putting the blade into the machine, draw the diameter line through the pivot hole's center on the blade's side. Now, when you put the blade into the saw, all you have to do is to put a square next to it. When the diameter line is parallel with the vertical side of the square, there is your dead center. This way you don't have to mark your table, just your blade.
I just made the almost identical comment, then read yours. Great minds think alike 🙂
But then the marks gone after a few cuts
Lol I never would have thought about the coffee grinder trick. Good stuff man good stuff!
Love the new saw from Harbor Freight!
Comedian!! Love it. Some guys are so dry in their videos! Nice work.
You can find the center of the table saw blade the same way when you are making a zero clearance insert. Just stop the saw when you first start seeing the blade come through and mark directly on the insert. Turn the saw back on and finish the cut.
Coffee Grinder - Great idea, Thanks
Thanks for the videos! Now you can make one on making a new shop stool!
02:26 If possible, put the straight edge on the good side of the cut so that if the knife does wander it does so away from your workpiece.
Even more important - get a straight edge that has some protection for your fingers in case the knife rides up or snaps. I've see what happens and it isn't pretty.
Yup. Happened to me just last November. Before I realized it climbed up the ruler, a portion of my index finger was already separated from the rest of the finger.
Worst woodworking accident I've had so far. Wouldn't stop bleeding...
14:26 I got excited there for a moment thinking Harbor Freight was introducing a cast iron table saw!
LOL, when you flipped the glue bottle, my first thought was "not enough bourbon." :D
Nice Kegerator! Good addition to any woodshop! :)
Just a heads up about the glue and saw dust. If you putting clear on top you should be fine, if your staining you could be in for a bit of a head ache. The wood glue seals the saw dust used and neither the glue or saw dust will absorb any stain while the rest of your project does.
So mix the dust with stain ... you might fiddle with the tint a bit, but it should be easier than trying to hide a glue spot
@@miketheskepticalone6285 great point. With that it would be logical to have a scrap piece of the same material stained to your desired finish so that you can test a glue dust mixture for colour match before applying it to the finish project. Thanks for helping add to the conversation! It’s all about helping the community in finding solutions and avoiding issues if possible.
Love the spice grinder idea!
I never would have thought to use a coffee grinder, but I'll start now! Thanks Jason!
If you use shellac much, the coffee grinder is also great for grinding up shellac flakes. Makes them dissolve much faster in denatured alcohol.
That Craig Jig is incredible!!!!!!
Best tip for the jigsaw cut, just use your jigsaw below the board. You'll see the blade for more precise cuts and the tearout will be on the bottom, which is good enough most of the time. Great video tho and i'm always a fan of your funitures
Jigsaw tips are great. You can also buy a down cut blade.
The glue+sander on a crack in a board trick was pure galaxy brain thinking. Love it!
OK, the coffee grinder deal was genius. I'm definitely stopping at the thrift store for a coffee grinder. I see them there for like $5. I hit thrift stores to pick up old cutting boards and wooden spoons and such...
You need 'Pop Up Bourbon' on your work bench. (Like pop up electric sockets for kitchen islands)
Excellent. Greetings from Ireland
The coffee grinder trick to make wood filler is awesome. The only downside is everyone complains that their espresso now tastes like they licked a tree. 🤷🏻♂️
I like the coffee grinder idea and it will never be necessary to buy wood filler ever again.
I like the coffee grinder for filling open pore wood. You can also put on the first layer of lacquer sprinkler the dust on it and sand while wet. When this dries you sand off the lac and have a perfect first layer ready for the next.
Yet another, excellent "Tips & Tricks" video!
Well done!
Awesome tips and definitely some that I will use. Like the idea of the coffee grinder in getting the fine dust.
Jason, I noticed that you said you have a new table saw from harbor freight. Could you do s short video on the purchase, set up, model number etc? Thanks, love your videos and craftsmanship!
Being sponsored by Grizzly and still buying a SawS-um, Harbor Freight saw really speaks to how nice those Sa-dangit, Harbor Freight - the Harbor Freight saws are.
Really nice tip for jigsaw cuts. Your demonstration sparked an idea for using a scoring wheel to score the cut line. Sawdust wood filler also a great idea. Thanks
Damn i need that Kreg Jig, so helpful!!
Gotta enjoy the antics and comments such as “it’s a new saw from harbor freight” lol. Great video.
Harbor Freight has really upped their game
I did learn something. Some situation needing a clean cut with a jig saw is not important but some situation I will use a blade that the teeth are pointed down rather than up. They are hard to find but they do make them.
I learned that iron trick in highscool woodwork class. one of the class bullies dented up someones work, Mr Taylor whipped out the iron and fixed it.
Every time I use it I wonder if anyone else in class that day remembered it.
Dope Steak Knife!
I really enjoy your content. I like doing things myself but don’t have anyone in my life to teach me. You make it very fun and your personality is great :D
I’ve never had good luck with the sawdust and glue ,it gets to dark any suggestions.
I have to admit I was really looking forward to the Kreg-jig to clean the toilet. Lol. Nice tips.
Coffee Grinder saw dust...genius
Using a coffee grinder to make sawdust is the most “Seattle” woodworking tip of all time.
Awesome! Thanks for the tips
The coffee grinder trick is genius.
I have a Bethany jig for the bathroom myself, it has an attitude too.
Great video! Great tips! Thanks...
Regarding the dent...
Put a bit of water in the dent, as little as necessary. Use a soldering iron to heat and boil the water.
Damn harbor freight is stepping their game up. Great dead center tip !
The Kreg jig is awesome, maybe one day I’ll get one of my own
A carpenter tip for you.
If you flip the jigsaw up side down (holding the jigsaw on the bottom side of the board) having the blade going up where you can see it you get a nice cut on the front side and it is way easier avoiding the blade warping.
You could try to do the trick with an exacto...or you could buy a downcut blade for your jigsaw. A few things I hadn't heard about & the bolt in the handle of the clamp is inspired!
looking forward to a future video featuring kegerator upgrades (11:45 appearance)
Could I ask you to make these a a playlist? cause embarrassingly I've had a hard time finding a previous video that I watched a while ago and UA-cam search is making hard to find.
Reverse cut blades help a lot with a jigsaw If you don’t want to flip it over. Love the videos man that little boat you made with your buddy with a 3.6 horse motor was pretty fun to watch. Keep the fun projects coming!
So you finally found a good use for a coffee grinder that has a blade! I grind my own coffee each morning with a burr grinder. So a blade grinder (actually cutter) does have a good use! Thanks! One thing I find frustrating about some tools is that they actually do their job, which is frustrating, like that bourbon robot! Oh...and...watch out for that stool!
Heya the tip about the center of ur saw blade. I would assume factory meassurement is to attachment point of the blade wich means that is in fact center of all blades unless ur blade is oval. Actually even with an oval blade it will be the highest point...
Love your content. There is a 3rd option for a clean cut on finished side, down cut blade. I use them all the time. A lot safer than cutting upside down!! Oh, next time I’m Blighty, you should check out Scotland 🤣
I like that trick about cleaning the toilet.
Lol! When I was watching the video during your "Kreg Jig" segment and you went to get your "Craig Jig", the video was interrupted by a UA-cam ad. The ad was Chris Salamone (foureyes) talking about Kreg Academy! I thought it was part of your video and you all were doing a strange collab.
Thumbs up on the kegerator 😀👍
The 'Craig'-jig for the toilet was worth the price of admission all by itself...
I need to know about your glue! Why is it so nice and thin?! Mine SO THICK! I could watch an entire tips video on glue/glueing!
Thrift stores like goodwill always have coffee grinders for 3-$5 that work just as good as buying brand new
Why not align your set up block parallel/lengthwise against the saw blade, rather than perpendicular? TDC is always going to poke above the set up block.
I need to get one of them Craig-jigs!😂
Just another reason to keep a clean shop !🤣
When I'm setting my blade to depth, I just raise it up a little higher than the setup block, and rotate it until the next tooth in front and behind of the top tooth are flush with the top of the setup block. then I know the middle tooth is at top dead center and finish setting depth off of that tooth. My biggest problem isn't knowing where the center of the arbor is, but knowing when one tooth is perfectly aligned with that point. This trick solves that.
Diablo jig saw blades leave a very clean line when cutting your wood, Stumpy Nubs did a review
Nice Craig jig. I have a wife jig but it tends to fuss a lot.
You can also use a soldering iron to steam out those dents if it’s in a tight space where the clothes iron doesn’t fit
For finding the center of blade, you can also mark the two points where the same spot on a single tooth crosses the plane of the table saw and then find the point between those two points.
Great video. Liked the intro a lot.
I love the look when the robot butler brings the bourbon to the other guy and not you, lol.
Also, what is the robo Butler? A shop Roomba type thing?
I was taught in college, to take a dents out of hardwoods, like you're explaining, just spit on it!! and wait 15 minutes!!! Faster, and cheaper, you don't need to buy an iron or Borrow your wife's iron.
I tell you, she'll get mad at you...
But in all Seriousness,
I love your videos, have learned from you a lot of neat stuff!! Keep it up,
GOOD JOB 👍
Concerning finding the center of your table saw blade. I don't know if this is particular to Contractor Table Saws like mine, but the center of the blade moves forward or backward as you raise or lower the blade. So, an extra step is required to use your method of locating the center. I use the setup block to mark a line to the desired height of the blade on the sacrificial fence. Turn on the saw, and raise the blade to that mark. Then continue with your method.
Clamp idea/ A+
"... cause this is a brand new saw from Harbor Freight..." LOL. Didn't see anyone mention it in the comments... absolute comedy gold.
You can rubberise your clamp handles (or anything else) by mixing up some silicone & acetone to thin it out... then dip or paint it on...

Wow sweet tricks dude, love the bolt in the clamp handle :-)
2 words. hockey tape.
A product everyone should have in their toolbox. It's a great solution to slippery handles. Especially wooden handles. That is specifically what it is designed for. It provides excellent grip and is obviously really easy to apply. And if you want even more grip, just twist a small section and wrap it around the handle, then apply more tape over top.
With the jigsaw you could always use a down cut blade
Hey do a video on joining old fashion. No nails no screws
Jigsaws they sell 2 blade types
1) up cuts (teeth facing "UP") when you cut the blade cuts upward creating the rough edge on top.
2) down cuts (teeth facing "Down") the blowout or rough edge will be on the bottom
I have the same coffee grinder for a situation similar. I use mine to custom blend dubbin material for tying flies. Sometimes you don't have the color you want but you have two or more colors that will work if blended. Maybe I will retire it to the woodshop for making fine dust for wood filler? Maybe II will buy another grinder for $15.
Gees, I already knew how to trip over the stool.
To find the high point on your tablesaw:
1Remove the blade and with a sharpy draw a line between the tips of 2 teeth on opposite sides of the blade i.e. right through the centre of the hole.
2Replace the blade and table insert.
3Lay down any old offcut with 2 square edges on its edge next to the blade and rotate the blade until the line is parallel to the (vertical) edge of the offcut.
4Then mark that point on the insert and lay down the offcut to square the mark across the insert onto the bed of the saw.
2 other ways of getting cleaner jigsaw cuts:
1Where access to the workpiece is not an issue,you can hold the jigsaw upside down underneath the workpiece and watch the blade from above whilst steering it from below(this works best with the non D-handle type of jigsaw) or even mount the jigsaw upside down like a router in a scrap of sheet material.
2They can be a bit pricey but there are blades which cut on the downstroke only.
These have to be used carefully though with workpiece held down and firm downwards pressure on the jigsaw as they want to send the jigsaw jumping back out of the work at you.
With a jigsaw you can do a 'plunge' cut with the right blade, saves you drilling a hole first.
