I just got Rick rolled

Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down!

“Please leave your disgusted in the comments below. That is so healthy and fun “. LOL. I love it. Thanks for the laugh.

Nice touch Rick rolling everyone in the background.

just bought a set of setup blocks yesterday, and used them to make half-half-half drawers using somewhat 1/2 inch plywood. Amazing this came up today , internet knows all.

One of the first things I printed when I got a 3d printer were 123 blocks. Dialled the printer in until the calipers agreed, now have a ton of them. 10, 20, 30mm, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4"; you name it, I've probably got it. Child of the UK 70s so I'll use which makes more sense to me at any given time.

My wife got my that rockler brass bar set for christmas 2016 and it's easily the most used tool in my shop. Not a project goes by that I don't use them. Your sense of humor is absolute gold. XD

Did he just rick roll us??? LMAO

We were robbed! If we would have switched to the Metric system when I was in school, life would have been so much easier! Excellent video subject today. I use the $675 set of blocks, but they are awesome for so many different things. Thanks.

The most elaborate rick roll ever conceived and executed

Never gonna give you up, Picciuto!

I have my set of set-up blocks on my bench at the ready. As David mentioned, so much more accurate than looking at a tape measure. Use them a lot for machining lumber to thickness. Feeling the difference of a 3/4" piece and a 3/4" gauge block so much easier and precise than a measure.

I agree David. I use the bars frequently. Was thinking of your Grandad as I was working at my scrollsaw today. Still love that video.

Nice subtle Rick roll

For anybody wondering, five thousandths of an inch is about the width of two hairs from your head. Though maybe not Dave, beard hair is thicker than that. Also, love the easter eggs on the TV! Something different every time.

I had to watch this video twice because "Never Gonna Give You Up" was playing in the background.

David I will just say I'm not used to imperial being in the UK so it's really getting me thinking ATM as I am doing projects from your kitchen tools and cutting board books. Every day's a school day

I always keep a set of setup blocks near my table saw. Very handy to have. The 1x2x3 blocks are great to use for clamping support too.

I ordered 2 sets of setup blocks by accident but glad I did. I find myself doubling blocks for the measurement I need more often than not. 👌 P.s. love the making it podcast 😁

Damn! I just got Rick-Rolled.

Great Video! So awesome that we all got Rick Rolled.

Did you really just Rick Roll us?

I use setup blocks and 1-2-3 blocks all the time. I definitely have a favorite use for setup blocks. When you use a roundover bit and you don't quite get the corner of the blade under the base of the router, you get an annoying ridge next to your roundover. I learned a long time ago that if you hold your router upside down, and run the setup block on the base to the bit, you can see if it hits before the roundover part. If it does, you can lower the bit until it moves into the round part. That has saved me so much aggravation I can't even tell you.

Maybe I should get some of these. Thanks!

I have the 1, 2, 3 blocks and they are fantastic. I have a five piece set of set up bars and they are much better than a tape. Good job, sir.

I've been patiently watching for years, waiting for this awesome day!! Well played sir! Never let us down!!

You can use a combination square to set the height of your blade very accurately. A steel ruler is better than a tape measure for just about any fine measurements. I suppose if you need fine accuracy and can spare the cost...why not buy the blocks.

"How is he on camera? Some guys, you take away the mic, they don't know what to do with their hands." "Yeah, no Rick doesn't have that problem."

Guess I’m going to have to keep watching your content to see the finished tool box too

If you can't afford the set up blocks at first, you can use the square dowels from the big box stores. Both the Orange and Blue store have square dowels from 1/4" up to 1". I measured mine and they are pretty accurate. The ones from the Blue store are made from poplar. I bought one of each dowel and cut them all to the same length (3" and 5") and am using the rest for what ever. Can you argue that because they are made of wood they are susceptible to shrinkage and expansion or inaccuracies. Yes you can, but I won't listen. LoL I'm fully away of that and that's why they are temporary set up blocks for now. So far, for the past year, they have worked great.

Did you just Rick-Roll yourself???

OMG! Im just starting woodworking and this will save me so much setup time, thank you, great tip :D

Thank you! I really liked this video. Very helpful as a novice woodworker!!

Even when I'm not particularly interested in whatever it is you are covering I can't help but watch. I know I'll get a random chuckle and definitely learn something new or see things from another angle (see what I did there?). And when all else fails, RickRoll the viewers FTW!

I love that you rickrolled us for most of the video.

Gotta love Rick Astley in the background. Haha.

Never thought about it, but everything youre saying makes sense.

Thank for watching! Links to the setup blocks in the description. Stay safe my friends! Expired Film Video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f72fiMl3udy2qqs.html Patreon: www.patreon.com/picciuto

Great video. I've had a set of those for years, glad you're educating people on them.

Very nice video. Great tool. Very helpful tip and trick. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my David. Keep making. God bless.

Why did I feel like I'd been Rick Rolled watching this?

Love my 123 blocks, always reaching for them.

Love the Rick Roll in the background!

Just casually Rick Rolling everyone who watches LMFAO! I'm with in setup blocks. I got a small set about a year ago but it just wasn't enough. I just picked up iGaging's new set of setup/gauge blocks. It's a really nice and comprehensive set from 1/16th - 3/4, comes with plywood sizes like 7/32, 5/16, 15/32, 23/32 and comes with a 1-2-3 block.

Ha ha ha- had to rewatch cause I saw Rick Astley Video in background, so I was laughing and didn’t hear a word you said! 🤣😂😂 Thanx, Always enjoy your videos! Oh and I use Rockler set up bars too! Quick and easy, been thinking bout getting the 1 2 3 blocks…

Was this a subtle Rick-Roll with the music video in the background? Great ideas, might have to pick up a set!

Stealthiest Rick-roll ever.

I am so happy to use the metric system

Built in RIckrolling... I love it.

Veritas has a setup block set with both metric and imperial for the price of the brass blocks!

Man, came to learn about setup blocks, got Rick Rolled instead 😂

Imperial measurements suck altogether. Metric is not only easier to use it's a super time saver. Thanks for your awesome videos.

I never expected you to Rick roll me. I thought I knew you better.

Something I didn't know I needed...

Thanks!! Yesterday I bought from AliExpress a metric measuring gauge blocks it was half the price that was sold in my country and on Amazon ( saw similar sets of imperial and metric on Amazon). It have a German standard certificate.. hope it will be accurate

I decided to use a measuring system based on my pinky finger, way better than imperial or metric, and no one else knows or can use it! So much better than either of them! Once I can convince big measuring that I am the center of all things I will be rich! Watch out metic/ imperial here I come! But on a serious note, set up block they are great!

Make Something where we get woodworking tips and Rick Rolled at the same time.

I've been Rick Rolled

Thanks for the subliminal Rick Roll.

Great video! I need to get these!

Rick Astley literally has one dance move.

Great info on setup blocks and great to see the Sawstop logo removed from your table saw :-P Thank you David!

A 7 minuet Rick Roll Nice!

Great video, I always learn something new from you. Thank you

Did I just get Rick Rolled ?!

Damn, you Rick Rolled everyone there... Great video though! set-up blocks are great!

Missed a word in the title. The trolls are gonna get ya.

So much Rick Astley. It's long overdue, really. Anyway, great show and tell. I'm sold! Thanks for sharing!

Did I just get Rick Rolled?

Wait til you try a story pole. Great tips!

love the video so funny ! Thanks for the hard work.

Drill bits (at their rear ends) may also be used as gauge blocks. They aren't as convenient as blocks and they are made of steel, but you can use even broken ones.

Rick Ashley - never gonna give you up

Yeah thanks now that song is in my head and I did not even heard it!!

I need to get some of these!

Gah! Silently Rick Rolled!

Rick rolling? Seriously? LMAO

Awesome tips, Dave! Thanks a lot! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Did you just Rick roll us?! 🤣

Great video. Cool tool. Mahalo for sharing!

Thanks!

You can use the block and feel with your finger. I tried feeling with my toe...it's really better with your finger.

Definitely considering getting these now. I have been using ny digital calipers alot to set up my cuts but they still have a chance of not being square.

I have there’s set up block from Rockler. They are a must buy!!!

The Lufkin Folding Rule is what I use for this stuff normally. The blocks are nice though, I can see them being more accurate.

Rick Astley in the house lol!

Dude, did you just Rick roll us?

thanks

Damn... Rickrolled yet again!

All those have their place, but for myself, a good digital snap gauge is the best.

Inherited two 123 blocks from my father-in-law a few years ago. I didn't know what they were for a couple years. Now I use them all the time.

"Never gonna let you go" on a loop in your shop? Thanks for the tips.

Great video. I have a digital gauge but it always seems to have issues. I won't use it to set my blade at 90, no matter how many times I have done it, it is always off. I rely on my engineers square for that. My thought is that if I can't use it without issue to set a simple 90, how far off is it when I cut a bevel?

No hate, love metric and imperial. We use both in 🇨🇦.

Je kan ook een duimstok gebruiken

Just FYI, the product you linked to is unavailable. Thanks for the tips! And not just the tips

Good points in a fair presentation. It would have been a really good presentation except for the highly distracting person jerking around in the video in the background. I lost what you were saying every time the camera angle changed and brought the display back into view. I kept wanting to yell "For dog's sake, quite jumping around back there!" or "Turn off the mad TV!!" BTW. I've hated the Imperial system for over 50 years, ever since trying to figure out which "pounds" were meant in various engineering equations: F=ma {force (in pounds-force)= mass (in pounds-mass) x acceleration (in ft./sec^2}, with pounds sometimes abbreviated as P, or p, or Lb., each different (maybe), and used differently by different authors in different engineering books (back then). The difference between some of them, sometimes, was the gravitational constant, g. Then there were slugs and poundals. In the metric system, 1 Newton (force) = 1 Kg (mass) x m/sec^2, easy peasy! (Got all that? There may be a quiz later. 🙂)

Jesus, we all just got Rick Rolled in a wood working video 😳

Man.... Now I want a 6" gauge block, just a giant 6" chunk of brass

LoL'd at 4:45
