couldn't disagree more. this is soooo poorly explained. had to sketch it out to understand what is going on. filming from the operator's POV would help a lot.

Love that you show how to make things fit without measuring anything. Thanks for the great info.

I also agree. You are my woodshop inspire professor. Seriously, thank you for your clear concise teaching. I’m new to woodworking and primarily watch your channel. True blessing.

Genius!! SOOOO glad KZread keeps populating your videos into my feed. This is one of the FEW channels I will stop whatever I'm doing and watch. Thank you sir for another great video.

"Shim"ply great explanation of a great tip! I've been enjoying your channel.

Brilliant! I love the way you come up with simple easy to understand ways to make very effective jigs. As a beginner woodworker this is great! Thank you!!!!!

Witchcraft!!! Lol. I had to watch it twice to understand what was happening. I really enjoy watching ways to do thing that doesn't involve measuring. This is great thank you.

Wow! As usual you provide awesome content that is practical and improves my woodworking. Thanks.

It took me a couple watches to figure out the mechanics of exactly how making the shim worked. Now that I understand it, I think it's brilliant.

Fantastic. Whatever money your making from KZread is definitely earned and deserved.

It's like a GIANT kerf maker! :) But TBH, the trick you taught me that saves HOURS is how to rip off the double stick tape! G.E.N.I.U.S!

hey man, your videos are really making me a smarter carpenter everyday. keep them comming bro. dont stop the grind !!!

This is genius. I have a kerfmaker jig for dados, which I always considered to be fairly simple and mostly accurate, but this is even more straightforward and dead on perfect. The adjustment screw for the saw kerf on the kerfmaker is not as accurate as making an exact shim like this. Well done 👍

Excellent tip. I cannot use a dado set as the arbor on my saw is too short, so this method will allow me to easily make exact dados. Thanks for sharing this.

You inspire always. I have been following your videos for a while now including the first time you came up with the blade width shim idea. I admire you taking that concept and demonstrating its applications. Keep up the great work.

I’ve learned so much from you in the last couple of years that every time a new video pops up I know that I will learn something new. School days 🇮🇪

Absolute Gold!!

Hey, thanks for these videos. I don't really see any other channels teaching these really helpful methods for super precise results.

Taking the previous shim up a notch! Awesome, thanks

Man this is an epic tip. I hope you smile when you think about how much you help people that share your obvious love for wood working.

Over and over and over again, YOUR INFO IS SO VALUABLE!! GREAT tip that transfers to countless projects! I watch a lot of woodworking videos on KZread - there are none more valuable than yours. Cheers and THANK YOU.

Simply genius.

Really fantastic tip! 😃 Thanks a lot, dude!!! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Josie you always come through with the great tips. Another winner.

Very helpful ! Thank you.

WOW. Awesome tip.

Brilliant, thank you

So much amazing and concise content from one creator! Keep it up!

Very neat trick ! Thank’s

an education,superb methods,its the way forward

Thanks for sharing useful info.

I've enjoyed all your videos, but the no measure cut videos are excellent. Thank you!

Very nice update to original method !! Still so very impressed with this method...... Thank-you

Brilliant, well presented.Thank you

Brilliant ! you keep surprising me with your "Inspiring" tips. Keep them coming Jodi

Great technique!

This is a great idea! Thanks

Clever, and very useful! Thanks for sharing! 👍

Thanks for the helpful information on another way to cut accurate in a simple way 👊👍

Been loving these quick tip videos recently, info dense and all super helpful. Keep killing it!

Very informative and no BS. Great video Bob. Nice to see as of this video, all digits are still present.

As ever, brief, concise and informative. Just gotta say, every one of your videos raises my game - Great Job 👍

Awesome...thank you!

Can always count on some great tips from your content...thank again..

Such a fantastic tip. Thank you for this.

Great video as always mate, thank you. 👍

Man I love your content. The more steps you remove, the more measurements and marks you remove, you get more accuracy. I can't wait to make shim sets for all my blades now.

Brilliant tip but better yet, thanks for taking us through the steps of making it work and explaining it carefully. Keep up the great content.

Great tip.

This is brilliant. Solid explain explanation of the process and the reason behind it. A fence based Kerfmaker!

Every time you show these techniques you seem like a magician. Thanks for sharing your knowlegde

Thanks for another great tip, I agree with A.Quattrone when he mentioned about your teaching skills. Thx for sharing

Great information well presented.

Great tip. Haven’t seen this one before.

Genius. That tip will save.e tons of time trying to get setup just right Everytime. Great stuff...keep it up

Great video. I pressed "Like" 3 times.

Always very ressourceful, keep them comming

Brilliant!

Many Thanks. I like how you think, and explain.

Awesome tip- wish there was a quicker/easier way to make the shims the right size (without using and cutting up so much extra material)- but awesome idea. Could you use an old identical dull saw blade to set the fence, and just rip a shim the correct size that way?

This is awesome. Thank you!

Yet another brilliant tip from you, thanks! I always learn something new or a better way of doing something from you’re well put together videos. You’ve definitely helped me become a much better woodworker & it’s much appreciated!

Love this kind of content. Tips like this are really valuable. I tried a bunch of stuff for dados (e.g. kerf maker) and this shim is the simplest setup, quick, and flexible.

Thanks - I recently subscribed to your channel and I enjoy how easily you explain things. Detailed and in layman’s terms . Double Thumbs up !

Dude! This is awesome!

Really one of the best technic in woodworking, which I saw ever. Thanks a lot!!! 👍💪

Dude, you rock

This is a great tip! Thanks for sharing. Another way to get a shim rather than making one, is to find some slats from a standard 2" wide plastic vertical blind set that you can purchase off the shelf in Lowes, Home Depot, Walmart, etc. The slats are the exact width of a saw blade. I use the extra slats that I removed from a 44" long blind when I was fitting it to my window height; although you could really use any length you prefer. I have multiple slats on had and when I make my dados I just add slats one at a time on each pass until I get to my desired dado width.

Thanks. I was wondering what material I could use without making the shim and wasting material.

You're a clever guy 👍

Great job Jody, super useful tip.

I'm going to echo all of these other comments. Great and useful tip. Well explained and demonstrated. Thanks for all you do!

I'm going to have to watch that again several times to understand the process exactly but I love your tips like this!! You do an amazing job and I love anything where I don't have to math the heck out of something or spend forever trying to get to the perfect cut!!!

Good idea.

a great tip. Replaces the kerfmaker. Nothing can change here. thanks for the explanation. Greetings from germany

Great tip. I will likely watch many more times as it is not quite sticking for me yet.

This is simple genius! My coffee hasn’t yet conquered my sleep deprivation but I will understand this better soon enough

I’ve got a whole bunch of shims made by your previous method that I use for splines on my mitres. This, once again, is excellent!

Brilliant

Another awesome tip thanks again for sharing I feel like déjà vu 3 tips in under 5 minutes and I just subbed

That’s bloody genius - no need for expensive dado cutters and spot on accuracy too 👍

Thanks!

Great idea 💡 👍

Great video and great idea making different shims for different blades. As soon as it warms up above 25 degrees I’m going to do this.

Haha, I was thinking the same thing - great tip, but too cold in my shop to even consider this right now!

Leaving the 4" had me confused. Thanks for saying why in the end. Great tip.

Dude, your videos are awesome! I am always impressed with your techniques. Great job, sir.

Wow this was an amazing tip

my shop teacher back in the day...30 plus years ago was really good...you sir, take it to a whole other level. thanks for sharing. always learn something new from your videos.

That video where you showed making shims worked well for me. I used that method again a few days ago. Today I am planning on making some more shims but these are going to be thicker than the 1/8" blade I normally use. I was going to use the 'creep-up method' but instead I will be using the method shown in this video. Thanks, again, for showing us some interesting and helpful tips.

You are brilliant! I love your pursue of the concept of "accuracy without measuring tools", or I should say "perfect fitting without measuring tools" You keep demonstrating that there are so many practical ways of precisely measuring and fitting as a first approach, and a the measuring tools are just as a reference to a "measuring unit" (inch, meter) for approximations and for standardization purposes.

Duh. Been playing with wood for a very long time and see such a simple setup. Hats off to you,😉

Absolute genius. Take it from me, I too have been called a genius.

That is so clever! Maybe this is a technique that every experienced woodworker knows so well, they’ve forgotten it’s not obvious. But in ~9 months of watching woodworking videos on KZread, by most or all of the usual suspects, this is the first time I’ve seen it. Really well explained and demonstrated. Thank you!

This is so damn simple it's ingenious. Thank you.

Saw your video on pencils, very informative. I personally use the Bic mechanically pencils. They twist feed and I have had great results. Not knocking what you said, these are cheap and work fine. Great videos, keep it up. Thanks, Mike.

ANOTHER great table tip~! So glad that I found your channel. New subscriber here~!!

I saved this video on my KZread shop playlist when it first was posted, knowing that I would use it in the near future. I just had reason to use this method for the first time, and I am declaring it pure genius. I was fabbing a divider assembly for storage of tall, thin pans and cooling racks. I wanted to use some "1/4" birch plywood from the big box store for the vertical dividers. The stock measured about 0.205, so routing the many "1/4" slots on the 1/2" base was not possible with other than a 1/8" bit, which I am not keen on using. Cutting all the grooves in the base to accept the vertical panels was a breeze on the table saw using this "blade kerf" method for nailing the width of the grooves. Many thanks for sharing this method.

That's an interesting way to do dados. I've made and used a kerf maker, but this is much easier and better for longer dados. Thanks.

Damn brother your channel was well named because you are indeed inspiring. Even if I'm not necessarily going to work on exactly what your doing, you always make me wanna get in the shop. Appreciate you man!

Although it seems intimidating I see other woodworkers talk about frustrations they find trying to make perfect shims and I always comment to watch your content! Tomorrow I’m giving possibly both versions a try because I’m going to be making bridle and half laps and a perfect shim would make my cuts accurate and consistent. Hopefully it works out, if not that’s not your technique that’s my level of skill. Thanks a bunch

Another great tip. Love the preemptive strike on the safety police comments. 🤣💪✌
