20:30 I saw something like these blocks but you can take a 2+/- foot piece of quality aluminum 1/4" flat stock. 7000 series works well since it is harder than most other types. Cut this into 4" - 6" shorts, drill a through hole in one end of all your pieces. For that extra fancy 1/8" step just add a single 1/8" piece on the top of the stack. Then label that side starting from the "bottom" and go up by 1/4" increments. Flip THE WHOLE THING OVER & label from the 1/8" side from the bottom up as well. As long as your fasteners are flush to the face you're good to go. I like to countersink the 1/8" side and tap the 1/4" end to receive a machine screw. These work the same as a gaping tool for spark plugs. Whatever size you need you can just use 1, 2, or as many plates as u need for your depth of cut in 1/8" increments & label them so you can see the measurement from the top of both sides.

Just found your tips videos by accident. I used to do a lot of maintenence, a bit of woodworking and a huge amount of improvised repairs. Unfortunately I had a stroke which messed my memory up and I forgot quite a lot of things. It was like going from pro to novice overnight and I quit for a few years in frustration. I eventually decided to start learning again and a big thank you to you as your tips have been really helpful to me in getting back into it. i've written a lot of them down along with the title of of your video they're on.

My general experience is that items like these power tools are significantly cheaper in the USA. My very rough rule of thumb is, take the USA price add about 30% to the Dollar price and then swap the Dollar sign for Sterling sign. For example a tool that costs $180 in USA becomes £240 ($310) in UK. I suppose it's all down to things like import duties, shipping costs, high VAT in UK , supplier mark up. Also, in USA, the market is much bigger - so sellers get bigger bulk discount.

Yes alternate the grain not because the cupping issue though. In my experience, grain orientation has little to do with the direction of the cup. The side facing up always cups, because cupping is caused by the wood drying on one side faster than the other. Hot air rises, and carries moisture with it, so the side closest to the up has a faster drying process. Nothing to do with grain.

@@justinrealityforeverisnow4574 I'm not a professional furniture builder but I am a carpenter who builds houses daily from the ground up. I deal with a lot of sun. A board laying in the sun always cups towards the sun. If I notice a board has cupped badly and I simply flip it over, in a day or two the board has flattened. If I leave it another day or two the cup is in the complete opposite direction as the original. The sun is my worst enemy. 5/4 deckboards are the worst about this. A day before I use them, I try to orient the ugly side up so when I use them the cup (ugly side) faces down. After a few short days, it never fails, the cup will be facing the sun again.

And if going for .25 or .50 the router bits themselves... I was also thinking the shank common screws. They are usually just barely under the nominal size which would allow yo to test the cut and sneak up on perfect. I was surprised by the cost of the set he mentioned though. You can get a gage block set for less than $100US (low accuracy one for machining, but really high for woodworking). You won't use half of them, but they are hardened and ground steel. Be aware that drill shanks are slightly smaller than the marked size as well for clearance when drilling.

I’ve been working in carpentry for over 15 years and I’ve just learned so much that I wish someone had shared with me a long time ago. Cheers mate! Keep up the great work.

Great show, good energy. Regarding the use of Dominos to keep wood flush while gluing pieces together. The Domino allows pieces to be joined together exactly where you want them to be. The Domino keeps pieces from moving left & right as well as up & down . This enables pieces to go back together in exactly the same position if taken apart and put back together multiple times. I have been fabricating Yacht Interiors for the last 17 years in Ft Lauderdale Florida. Most of the pieces I fabricate have to be "Dry Fit" before it goes to finish or paint. Most of the time the pieces I am trying to install are larger than the door opening to the cabin. So the ability to take an item apart and put it back together again multiple times makes it possible for me to assemble a large cabinet ,bed, etc... in place to make sure everything fits properly before I take it to be finished or painted. After the piece is finished or painted I can then final assemble the piece in place using glue (if needed).

To stop pieces sliding I use a few grains of salt. As for taking pieces of wood apart, if using wood glue that won't be possible. You'd have to use something specialised like hide glue.

For the pull saw I typically start my cut with a push just like with a western style saw you can give a couple pulls before you start the cut. Also scoring the cut line on atleast 2 surfaces helps the cut track straight you can also start the cut with the teeth flat on the board all the way down the line instead of up on the corner so it doesn't bite or dig is much and then slowly stand the saw up at the normal cutting angle

very solid and old school method. With western saws this process is even easier as the blade is thicker, so it deforms less when you move it in the reverse direction. in both cases the teeth are still cutting, but a great deal less. Another option especially if your cutting into end grain like with dovetails or tenons you can take a chisel and cut a small groove in the waste side of the material. If you use a marking knife or marking gauge to make your marks instead of a pen this is even easier. the small groove automatically orients your saw along the cut, and you get a straight cut every time with no tear. browse a few videos on hand cutting dovetails and you'll come across the process allot.

I have worked with wood for many years. Retired now at 68 I just finished my building in my back yard just for wood working. It is 10x24 with a 14 ft cathedral ceiling. It is going to be a fun place to work. I constructed bridges for 34 years and most of my wood working skills are in heavy construction. Although, I did have a state of the art shop at my place of work. I had a vacuum system that will pull your shirt into it if you got too close. It even had an auto shake down system build in to vibrate the dust to the bottom to the huge dust and saw chip container. At times when I was not busy with the bridges, I would be ask to make furniture or doors, bookcases, chair rail whatever they had a hankering to ask for. I loved it. Now that I miss having all of the shop, I decided to build one of my own. One thing for sure, you never stop learning how to build things and never stop learning new tricks.

The “A/B” jointer method is actually preferable to perfectly square edges. The angles increase surface area, allowing for more glue and strengthening the joint.

the saw grinding trick is awesome, Paul Sellers has been doing it for 40 years or so by filing down/blunting the teeth, you should watch his stuff even though you're not a hand tool woodworker. Rob Cosman's sells hand saws that have very fine teeth on the tip to start the cut and coarser teeth along the main beam to do the bulk of the cutting. they are push saws though, which i prefer because you can be more aggressive on the push stroke than on the pull, thereby removing more material per stroke. keep up the good work man, I like your videos.

I was taught by my grandfather (a qualified joiner / carpenter from ye olden days, before power tools) to start cuts with a western style saw, by lightly pulling the saw along my line, then the first push engages neatly in the score line made by the back of the teeth on that first pull. When I used my first pull saw, I reversed the process and it works the same way.

This is really interesting because I have two pull saws and both have this leading edge on both ends. They are much shorter though. However, I saw a video from Matt Estlea where he showed how to use the pull saw properly: first you should push it, which doesn't cut deep but cuts the edge of the wood piece enough to make a leading 'track' for the rest of the move. Also, it's important not to push the pull saw hard into the wood. You literally just move it with only a very slight pushing it downwards. Especially at the first few pulls.

Better alternative for stop blocks when gauging your plunge router: drill bits. Every woodworker has drill bits, and they are cheap and come in every size you could ever want. Use the shafts to measure your plunge stop with 100% accuracy every single time. Even when the drillbits get dulled out and you end up replacing them, you can still find useful things to use the dulled bits for.

Great presentation and attitude! I was just looking up "How to make a box" And came across this video. I didn't learn how to make a box here but you were way more interesting with a wacky sense of humor. We need more of that these days.

If you can't make a box you shouldn't be using any power tools lol. I could build a box when I was five 😂 Jk man I thought your comment was funny when you said " I didn't learn how to make a box here but..." Keep trucking man you'll learn

I appreciate the math lesson at the end. Well worth the wait.

Dig it. Just bought my first house and ready to kit out a workshop

Really loved all of the tips, especially on the plunge router set-up. Paul Sellers did a 10 Quick Wood Working Tips where he recommends that you file down the teeth at the front of a push saw. It is excellent that you thought to do the opposite on a pull saw.

I really liked this one. I struggled with determining the correct direction to use with my router. Now I know the shortcut.

I wish he would have demo'd this one as it is great info but I don't understand what he was saying

@@maria-dawnw3595 the way to visualize this is to take the tip of your thumb, on your right hand (making the L he demonstrated), and place it on the edge you want to route. If the tip of your thumb is touching the face you want to route, your pointer finger will point you in the proper direction.

I like it when you put some humors into lessons

You are a rude, crude, bastard! My kind of guy! Keep up the great work and the irreverence. Thanks!

Need more videos like this. The jointer one was the best. Will be doing that from now on.

More of these types of videos would be great. I just picked up a table saw and miter saw to get started. Thank you!

Used a router the first time last weekend, and out of the 30 odd vids i saw on how to use and set one up, NO one explained the plunge setup like this, coulda saved me an hour trying to figure that had i saw this. thank you! maybe a a full how to on routers is not a bad idea.

another useful aid for the router instead of using setup blocks is to use regular drill bits. use the shank for the size you need

Thank you for this video. My husband took wood shop back in high school (in the early 70s) and I never took it but we have decided to start working towards a small woodworking so that when he retires we will have an established business by then. Again THANK YOU, you are making this learning process fun and exciting for me.

6:15 said doodoo and giggled, subbed immediately 🤣

Thanks. I know down the road I will use these tips. Thanks for the method of delivery. A little suttle humour goes a long way.
