Leah, you’re my hero! My husband passed away and left a shop full of intimidating tools but you have taught me so much I spent the summer building a chicken coop! It’s not perfect but I’m kinda proud of myself for finishing it. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

I'm sorry for your loss. I've lost my husband of 39 years (not to death, to a divorce I never wanted), so my pain is similar. However... what kind of chickens did you choose? There's so many breeds, and they all have their pluses and negatives, LOL!

Centering jig alone made this brilliant for me. Gonna make me one of them.. great idea!

As a homeowner and a woman, I’ve really wanted to learn some basic carpentry skills to repair and improve our home. You inspire me and make me believe that I can do this! You rock, Leah!!

Half lap reminds me of the old fashioned Christmas tree stand we had when I was a child.

Leah you’re literally amazing. You make me feel like I can take on the world with wood after I watch your videos. You probably don’t even realize how many DIY’ers you’ve helped in this world

Leah, I really want you to know how much you have helped me by sharing your knowledge with me me and others like me! Thanks to you I have found the courage to do things that I never thought I would be able to do. I spend every evening watching your videos and learning the skills that I need to accomplish tasks at home.

Back for a reminder, and I just want to say: when you see a person with bandaids on their fingers, you know they actually work for a living, and aren't just there for decoration. 😉 Those are the ones that you can trust! As for the chisel work, she's absolutely correct to just work to the middle from the outside. And the protection with a scrap of wood is also dead on. Those kinds of things I know already. I just needed a reminder on the center line maker, and this was the first video I knew she used it in. 🙂

Watching you use a circular saw, speed square, hammer and chisel to make a half lap makes me appreciate my table saw and dado set a lot more. Keep those videos coming, Leah. You're an awesome instructor.

I wish I had you as a teacher back when I was a young man, your good at what you do. thank you

Who's with me in approving Leah for sainthood? It has a good ring to it- Saint Leah, patron saint of tools and women DIYers 👩🏽‍🏭!

Its been two years and half laps and variations have been GREAT helps.

Hi Leah, Just wanted to say Thank you, I have watched a few of your videos on KZread, for different projects, and i wanted to say that you explain things in simple terms so that people can understand them easier, i am just getting into woodwork and i have been able to make notes on some of the stuff you have done. And because they are explained in simple terms they are easy to follow as well. So once again Thank you.

Thanks Leah I saw your video and learnt how to cut and join a cross joint. Today I tried it and got it correct the first time. I have loved your channel and have been following for some years now.

love the band-aid and purple fingernail. you be workin!

I can watch your videos all day. I have learned so much for you! Keep you knowledge flowing! ❤️

Without this lesson I would never attempt this cut. Your words “You can do this” echo in my head! Thank you AGAIN!

I hit the like button before I even watch because I already know I'm going to learn something ❤️

I am about to build some new steps for my home and will remember this since I have a saw to cut the wood, and can do this myself. I also have a nice set of chisels also which is nice and sharp, which I can use to make the cuts and clean up the joints with. Thanks so much for showing us this and letting us know that anyone can work with wood like you showed here.

As a complete novice carpenter, this was so helpful, thanks very much, loved the centerline jig too.

This was an awesome tutorial. No excessive frills (like corny background music or the camera pointed elsewhere while demonstrating something important), just simple and to the point.

You are a lovely teacher! Thank you from Argentina!

These are great vids for homeowners . Next thing you know they go to buy all the tools needed and realize how much everything costs to get these things done . For example , blades , fasteners , trips to the store , set up , demo , remove the demo , all takes time ...more than most know . Who s with me ? Anyone who does remodeling or anything knows there s a lot of things to consider , especially when the homeowner is asking for something ridiculous

I've been making corner lap joints to make a gate. I will say it took me some time to learn how to chisel out a decent flat surface. I'm a lot better than when I started. Just expect a learning curve as to familiarize with the tools and technique.

Awesome video. Thanks for posting. I need to watch your video on making the centring jig. Genius.

Leah! Just found your channel, and I’m hooked with your methodology for instruction. Some of these woodworking channels mean well, but for a novice when they throw around terms without explaining them... Well, it makes my eyes go cross! That wasn’t the case here. You thoroughly explain (and SHOW) exactly what you’re doing and mention alternatives to achieve the same result. Bravo! Needless to say, I’m subscribing! You’re great! Thank you so much!

Leah, I'd like to thank you for your time and for making this video. I've learned quite a bit from you. Could you please do a video on making half lap joints using a router?! Or maybe building a jig to do half laps using a router. Since I don't have the room for a table saw I'll have to learn how to do them using a router. Thanks for your time and for taking the time for making your videos! 👍😉

I have a jig i made at home for my router, it's perfect for stuff like this. Just make the reference lines, then line the jig up and use your router like a planer, inching down a pass at a time. But it's always great to show different approaches to the same result with different tools. Never know when you'll be shorthanded of a specialized tool :)

Hey, I love the way you explain everything so thoroughly... I had to subscribe.

You explain things extremely well! Great demonstration!

What an amazing tutorial. Excellent presentation style!!!

This was my first joint used in making shoji panels for the master bedroom window years ago. Multiple curtains, vertical blinds and mini blinds have come and gone but the shoji still in good use. At the time I only had basic hand tools like a back saw with a cheap wood miter box, chisel, wood glue and a manual staple gun.

Great vid + knowledge. Like the use of the circular saw to cut to depth.

Best teacher on youtube. Never stop!

I love this lady. She always gives encouragement. She makes me feel that "even I can do this".
