You lost a credibility when you used a pen. You never use a pen or marker in woodworking !!! Pencil only.

You do have to spend some time setting the saw up... blade, fence, etc. But once done, the saw is great. Fairly compact which is Nice kzfaq.infoUgkxXh-4_3-ZT1fFWP91ZV7iVqzElr0lEb-a I did get an Incra Miter Gauge which takes some setup as well. The stock miter gauge can be adjusted in the miter slot with a little painter's tape... this tightens up the side to side play a lot.

The author does like to kzfaq.infoUgkxkNYRBJuiJ6EwD-tQSAlxg0eFKsnR2cgz from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. As another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us don’t have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we won’t be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.

That's what I was thinking. Only the tape should be used for something first before making a ball. You can also make cubes or pyramids with tape, but is much more difficult with used stuff. Bored painters watching paint dry here.

I'm a retired wood worker both fine furniture and architectural millwork. 60 years man and boy and I have ALL my fingers. This is first video I have seen that is smart and has first class advise. The in out thing with the jointer I have been doing for 40 years. Note: Check your joints by dry fitting the panel and lightly clamp one end and see if there are gaps in the joints at the other end. You should be able close the open end with you hands. Do not force a gap closed or you will induce a stress in the panel. Now allow the glue line to dry for a number of days so you are not sanding wet raised grain which will shrink later.

@DeveloperChris 2 жыл бұрын

A variation on the sticks for measuring the inside. Is to not clamp them together at all, because when you remove sticks they could either jamb in place or cause the clamped sticks to move slightly. Instead throw away the clamp and simply scribe a line across the sticks, remove the sticks and realign when you need to measure or use it as a jig. it will always be accurate from that point forward, if you have a lot of measurements to make don't scribe the sticks instead use painters tape on the sticks and draw your line(s) on that.

@cyrilheslop6917 2 жыл бұрын

The inside measurement is a good opportunity to not measure it at all. Use the two stick method and use the clamped stick to set your saw or whatever it is you are doing. It is easy to fall into the trap of believing you have to measure everything - I always find ways of measuring as little as possible. The ways of finding the centres of the board and the circle are great examples of this: we don't care how wide the board is we just want it halved.

@ManSkirtBrew 2 жыл бұрын

Totally agree. No ruler or tape measure will ever be as accurate as a story stick.

@maxwang2537 2 жыл бұрын

Exactly. If I’m getting this correct, the key is to gauge not to measure, in woodwork. We almost never care about what exactly the measurements are while we do care a lot about the precision of gauging and cut.

@BobBlarneystone 2 жыл бұрын

I do that with two combination squre rulers (6, 12, 18, 24 inches), and use a cut off finish nail to keep them in register and brass stair gauge to clamp them.

@gnarthdarkanen7464 2 жыл бұрын

Getting into the truly fine work... with curves, organic shapes, and bending... often we don't even particularly care about "square" or "straight" either... A line of symmetry can help balance something that needs to stand upright on it's own, but that doesn't necessarily even require a register to "vertical" or "horizontal" exactly... Ships were built with ticking sticks, lengths of cord, and a lot of old fashioned "judgment"... as were truly old-school carriages. Learning to match and batch cuts and shapes saves a LOT of math... as does "solving it graphically" instead of bothering with a bunch of numbers that are going to be "off" anyway (see anything to do with pi)... ...AND if you can get to bending, you're one of a remarkably select group of artisans that seem to accomplish the impossible. ;o)

@joshn1678 Жыл бұрын

Was going to say the same, that's a great trick lol, and it cuts out the measurements altogether.

No jointer for me.....YET. So, I love the idea of writing "up" and "down" on the boards to make them fit together correctly. I wish I would have seen your video BEFORE I finished the desk I just built for my son. The desktop is comprised of five 1x6 boards and while they are "close" to being joined well, there are gaps. I had to overcome that as best I could by squeezing them together with a large clamp and then doubling up on the pocket holes to hold them in place. It worked, but it is far from ideal. I'm going to build another desk to try to sell and I'll be incorporating your idea for that one! I'm looking forward to getting much better results! Your other tips were awesome as well! Thanks so much for these! Great stuff!

All great tips. For measuring inside dimensions my father had a wooden folding rule that had a brass insert on the last portion of the rule. It could extend to cover the last few inches allowing it to touch the opposite inside edge. It had graduations marked on the brass to determine the exact width. I guess they're still made today.

Good stuff! As a 2nd gen craftsman and dedicated expert in many woodworking techniques and practices, I like your style! I’d like to add to the ‘inside dimension’ discussion- for small areas like inside a cabinet, I use a 123 block (a machinist’s trick. A 1”x2”x3” block) and measure back to the block. And for longer dimensions like measuring a wall for crown, I measure 40”, 50”, 60”, etc. out of one corner and then measure back to that mark. Doable as a donut 😅

For measuring the inside dimension, you can also take the two sticks and where you lay the one on top, mark a line at the end of the stick and an x next to it. That way you can carry the two sticks away and just line up the mark again.
