Gol darn it. I hate to imagine how many cuts I've made with a speed square without figuring out the "flip it around" thing. I've always thought you had to raise the saw blade so the hump of the motor won't bump into the lip of the square.

Thank you. Your videos are always very helpful and I'm doing some layout work with a speed square which is not my norm so this is really helpful. Even if only introductory and little tricks of the trade. Thanks again!

When you’re measuring out the parallel lines using the notches on the inside of the speed square, flip it around: line up the notch with the line you’ve already drawn, then you can just draw the new line along the edge of the square, saving the step of marking where the notch lands and moving the square over to make the line.

Interestingly, I noticed this week that my carpenters pencils from Home Depot are exactly 1/2" so I used one to set the depth of my light boxes. I was channeling your vibe before I even saw the video. Nice!

That´s not reallife, so i hope he never goes to do that sort of shizzle to confuse viewers. If you always use a certain tool, use that in video aswell. Do you know how wide of a line you get from a sharpie?? that has nothing to do with carpentry.

Ben, as I'm sure you already do: Disregard the nonconstructive bantering from the dingleberry gallery. Dingle-berries, you know who you are! They kinda remind me of the "blisters" (I.E. coworkers that show up only after the work is done) & then say "why'd ya do it that way?" Yep, the same kind of folks that would attempt to cut down a tree with a butter knife or mow the lawn with scissors in a snow storm. Dingle-berries, please resist the urge to procreate. Amen. BEN, KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK. Your videos have been instrumental in making my work easier. Appreciate your time spent on tutorials Sir.

1:06 No you don't... Your pushing you saw against the square and it's easy to make it move (watch the video, that's what is happening) Reverse your square on the 2x4, that way it won't move and THEN you will get a REAL square cut (unless the 2x4 isn't straight)

The way he, and I do it, gives more of the square to guide the saw into the cut. Also, if you keep a sharp blade on your saw, you don't have to push very much at all.

Bro that’s a cabinet saw. That’s not even a standard Saw carpenters use that’s a homeowner DIY saw. I typically don’t allow those saws on my job site. Only a drywaller or a painter shows up with a saw like that. Not sure how they do it in Vancouver that might be the main saw everybody uses LOL not sure. Out here in Cali we use Skil saw‘s but for some drywall backing I guess that saw will work. Typically those saws are to cut three-quarter inch material plywood things of that sort. But still cool video man I would just get some better tools and if you’re a Carpenter where are your bags bro. It should say Vancouver drywaller/painter or DIYer. I’m just saying 🥴

Just an observation... Safety glasses when using a circ saw, or working with tools in general that can generate ricocheting particles, or if teaching as a role model perhaps. Injur an eye, that definitely won't help develop any useful skills, just my thoughts of course... carry on. I do like your content otherwise, even though I loath taping & mudding, as I don't do enough of it to develop a skillset with it. It does help seeing it done as it should be, so thanks for sharing what you do.
