It might not even be related to construction work, but likely is. Regardless, a person working in any physical trade is going to get some Knicks and Knicks. That's life. Sometimes a person is working in a cramped area and scrape up against door a nail that's protruding in such an area, or a tree branch , when pruning, can't be removed. If we wasted time to analyze every little move, we'd take an excessive and costly amount of time to get things done - it doesn't mean that a person isn't trying to be safe to stay on time; it means we know that shit is going to happen and requires some reasonable mitigation to keep minor injuries to just that

Now when I watch all your other videos I won't be quietly rolling my eyes as you talk about 20 and 7/8th inches haha. Also... the fact about why the tip of a tape measure moves.... unbelievable. This is the first comment I have made on any of your videos but I have been watching ALL your videos since I bought my house in Feb this year. Doing a full renovation ourselves.

I have been a Machinist and Tool and Die maker for over 40 years. I really liked your video. I also use the imperial system for most jobs. When it comes to anything to do with wood, I have to step back and stop thinking like I am working with metal where the tolerances can be measured in ten thousands of an inch on tight tolerance jobs. In a machine shop you can park a semi sideways twice in 0.005 of an inch (yes, I am being fastisious). With a CNC, when you run with metric, you theoretically made your job 154 % more accurate because 0.01 of a millimeter is less than 1/2 of 0.0001 of an inch. (The correct conversion factor is 1 inch equals exactly 25.4 mm.). My son, who is a red seal carpenter is always telling me that I will starve as a carpenter because I am always trying to hold tolerances way to tight because a change in humidity will shrink or swell wood way beyond the tolerances that I am used to working with ----and he is 200% correct. You have to match your measurements to the job that you are doing----that is not saying that you can be sloppy. You have to work to the correct tolerances required by the job that you are doing 👍

When I unplug a tool, I always press the switch afterwards for two reasons: (1) if multiple tools are plugged in, you could have pulled the wrong cord! (2) In case the tool has a giant capacitor storing energy, it might help dissipate some of that as a safety measure. Great video here!

Not to nit pick or be that guy, because I do appreciate and watch every video, but as a suggestion to add, is to take a minute to quick clean your tools after you use it. Clean and lubed power tools work a lot cooler, quieter, safer, etc; plus, they generally last a lot longer. Wood dust has moisture and it can rust your blades if you just throw your saw back in the little bag it came with only to find a rusty blade the next time you go to use it. A quick blow off and a few sprays of wd will save money and frustration over poor cuts the next time you need it.

As someone who grew up with imperial tape measures, I’ve been buying imperial/metric tapes and using the metric side of the tape measure more often because it is much faster to find the exact center of spans and is more accurate because the gaps between the millimeter marks are easy enough to count as .5 instead of using 1/64ths between the lines on the imperial side. Realistically, just using millimeter marks and not utilizing the gaps between the marks is accurate enough for 99% of wood projects, though.

@@olhesty2196 I’ve been using metric a lot lately easily figure out the centers of projects or what ever you need. And lots of people say that’s 1/64ths is more smaller than any metric tape…but first of all then how does the rest of the world do things precisely? And second of all if you really need to be that precise than you can get a more precise metric ruler there’s a lot of very accurate rulers. Just fractions are a pain in the neck. You can easily make some small mistakes if maybe that tiny 64ths line wasn’t a 3/64ths and was actually 1/64ths. Those small lines also can mess up after time after they start fading you are not able to tell which lines in longer than the others. Some manufacturers make the 8ths and quarters are so similar I often messed up now a days it’s very rare.

12 is a better base than 10. 12 is evenly divisible into 1/2, 1/4, and 1/3. Base 10 is only evenly divisible into 1/5 and 1/2. This is why the ancient babylonians (where a lot of math came from) used base 60 (which is evenly divisibly by 12. 60/5 = 12). It's why there are 12 hours on a clock, and why there are 60 minutes in an hour. Base 12 (or base 60) are superior to base 10. The only reason we use base 10 is because we have 10 fingers. It's a primitive system, which should be abandoned in favor of the more modern, more reasonable base 12 or base 60.

Maybe bring up differences in drill types too - I know many people ask that (impact vs not, or what each setting is for).. 2. Can you do a video like this but on materials selection? Ie wood types, sizes, dimensions or things to consider, how to pick a good piece and 'fair pricing'. Why use ply, particle, mdf, etc.

I just finished a kitchen last week. I made the cabinets. A carpenter showed me a trick that saved me hours leveling cabinets. I use a 4” base, level the base, and make the boxes to sit in the bases. By the time the boxes go in everything is good. Saves time making the boxes and installing them. I tried to send you some pics but I can’t find your info and I’m not on Facebook. Love your work.

@jackt6112 Жыл бұрын
I've been DIYing for decades and learned some why's that didn't know before. 1. Why to set the depth of cut, but while he was explaining it I thought of another reason, especially with plywood and that is because the cutting happens in a more forward direction than a vertical direction, which also then favors large blades even for the relatively thin plywood. 2. Measure from one side and make a mark, and then measure from the other side to the mark. I've been pretty good at guestimating, but that never leaves you confident. Jeff's way you can have confidence. 3. I learned that I never understood the Skill saw and will make the mark on mine and had crappy cuts and only SOMETIMES did I get a good cut with even a speed square. *The Fein multi-tool he shows that costs $300-$400, you can buy the identical tool with the Hercules 3.5 amp from Harbor Freight for $99 with the bag a few attachments, and man does it cut fast. I have another from Harbor Freight and it was taking forever to trim the base on a 33" cabinet to make room for a refrigerator. It would have taken several hours of holding the tool up. I drove 80 miles to get the Hercules because they couldn't keep it in stock locally. The blade change works EXACTLY like the Fein and it cut the bottom of the cabinet, particle board and oak in minutes.. Whatever you do, do NOT buy the Dremel for the same price. Dremel blades work on any tool. Other blades do not work on the Dremel, and Dremel blades aren't even the best if you check the reviews. It also doesn't have the nice blade change mechanism that the Fein and Hercules have nor is the track record as good as the Hercules. When Jeff bought his, this didn't exist, and Fein was the best. I'm also guessing that a patent on the blade change mechanism just ran out because I don't see it on any other than the Fein and Hercules. People complain that the Fein gets hot and the Hercules does not. That is false. I own the Hercules and it gets hot too just maybe not on the same area. That doesn't mean the old super cheap Harbor Freight tool doesn't work for other things. I replaced a sub-floor in a bathroom where you need to cut along a tub, wall, etc., and it worked fine. I still like it because it is smaller and lighter. The advantage of the new hard-to-find Hercules is the blade osculation cutting angle range is greater. The Chicago Electric Harbor Freight is 2.5 degrees. The Hercules is 3.3 degrees, the Fein is 3.2 degrees and ~$180, but the Milwaukee M18 Fuel is a whopping 4.2-degree oscillation and it beats the stars out of anything else for cutting, but it is $220. A little more oscillation angle requires significantly more power but cuts exponentially faster.

@ericdebernardi2291 3 жыл бұрын
I definitely prefer Metric! But that's because I grew up in it. I live in England now where a lot of things are still in imperial and I got used to it. I don't like it for long distances, km are easier for me to understand than miles. But it's all a question of context, for DIY imperial is great! For fine scientific work metric is better. And ultimately whatever works best for you to get the job done is best! That being said, in co-operative teams it's useful if both sides can do their conversions and own measurements to come to an agreement. BTW Jeff, you forgot to mention that it is possible to get shitty measurement tools with one or both systems being off! I've seen tape measures with things being off by a cm! Then again you probably assume that any self respecting and serious DIYer will buy decent tools that are properly calibrated!

His point is that on a 25-foot tape measure (standard here vs 8 meters) there are 9600 separate marks and yours only has 8000. This means we have 1600 extra marks on a foot shorter tape measure to make very fine measurements that aren't possible in metric without moving to micrometers.
