Thanks I'll have a go with that, this was a bare tool so I didn't get one. This is what Makita say about that bag - Also compatible with Makita 6-1/2" Plunge Circular Saws, including cordless models XPS01Z, XPS02Z and corded model SP6000J, I guess a Google search would've prevented this video 😂, www.makitatools.com/products/details/122562-9#:~:text=The%20dust%20bag%20is%20engineered,XPS02Z%20and%20corded%20model%20SP6000J.

I was in the same boat with the bare unit. All my Makita gear has a different size dust port 🙄👏🏻 Anyway hope this works for you, really enjoy your videos thanks for all the content & sharing your years of experience, I have put many of your tips & tricks to work. All the best buddy 👍🏼

Thankyou, much appreciated & you're welcome 👍 I've been doing some small jobs but not much worth sharing, I will have some more to upload from 2022 before I got poorly once i get them edited & there'll be more in the future, glad you enjoy them 👍

Yep, I use it more now than the Dewalt, the Dewalt is corded & this is cordless, It's what I used on the reclaimed door cupboard. For a while I couldn't afford the dewalt mitre saw stand mounts, £60-£70 😱, always forgetting when I had time & a bit reluctant to take the ones of the Dewalt saw because I might want to put that saw on the stand one day, then when i did buy some mounts they sat in my room until I finally did get my a$$ in gear & got them on the Makita saw, then got poorly. 🤷‍♂️ But yeah it's the one I get out now. 👍

Yeah any of the bags I have would fit with an adaptor.

Yep, in this I'm ripping 8x4 boards, my hose would just pi$$ me off, & occasionally as you say it's quicker to just put a bag on for a few cuts 👍

That's what I've done to my little Makita chopsaw to hold the adaptor on so I can fit the Makita vac to it 😅

The lungs will one day!

Thanks I'll have a look, hardest thing about finding a bag is there's loads online but the specs are either very vague or non existent.

Yep that's what I mainly use but sometimes like this it's easier to put a bag on.

Hi, I can't remember exactly but it got notched over the posts & I'll have screwed it up rather than down like the others, prob from the front & from behind.

👍 Thanks, & yep when I first started I had a compass after watching 'the old men' doing it, mine was a kids school type which had crap adjustment & a long point that I wasn't keen on, I then went through multiple 'scribers' none of which were quite right, one had the threaded adjustment on the wrong side which meant you couldn't get it against the wall, & I kept trying other types, (none of these fancy scribers you can get now where you can spot the flaws just by looking at them, they're trying to reinvent the wheel & failing). Soo I've come to the conclusion & the reason I made this video is that a good pair of compasses is very hard to beat & maybe the the old men knew this, I just didn't know or realise at the time, it's taken 40yrs & now I'm the old man 🤦‍♂️😂👍

Thankyou, much appreciated 👍 I try to share what I can 👍😊

Thankyou, much appreciated 👍😊

👍 I have considered those U-Scribe jig sets, the hardest one for me is the trim piece at the top of a wardrobe up to the ceiling, often there's nothing to clamp to & if it's spayed banging some pins in isn't an option. Yep there's some rubbish out there on the market, too many trying to reinvent the wheel & failing, can't beat a good compass, I wouldn't have made this vid if I didn't believe in what I said about these ones & had tested them for quite a long time so I hope your's work out as well as mine, 👍 When I made the point I hammered a small nail in as a rivet, that split the compass leg a tiny bit, I think it's cast which is brittle, Mitre mate super glue fixed that, I then ground it to shape with a file or grinder after it was fixed in place, the outside wants to be straight so it doesn't have like a heel that prevents the point going against the wall, that was quite a few yrs ago now & everything is still fine. 👍

@@Gidjoiner I noticed you'd ground the blade. I like that cos I guess you can use the ground edge flat to the wall.

👍 Exactly 👍

Thanks, I'll consider it when the time comes, if n when I do another 👍 Useful info for someone tho 😊👍

Sexy work as always 🤌🏻🤌🏻👌👌

😂😂👍

😂 Can you describe what you were scribing? I'm going to create a video but I'm not sure how many real world scenarios I can replicate in the shed, so I might only be able to show the basics & their rules which then need to be conveyed to each job..

@@Gidjoiner It was a sheet of ply which I was cutting to use as the bottom shelf on a workbench I'd made. It had to fit around the legs of the workbench so probably a bit too complicated for a first go at scribing 😄.

it doesn't sound that hard but that's me talking, I'd liked to have seen you do that, promise I'd have kept a straight face 😁👍

@@Gidjoiner You wouldn't have😄😄😄

🙈😊👍

😂 The main 16'x10' part of the shed where the saws are I threw up when I moved in to store 'stuff'. At that time I was still working on site with a box of tools, a bag of power tools & a couple of levels, The shed grew as I added bits but it never got a concrete floor that's why there's sawdust on the floor, nobody likes standing on bare ground, mud tends to travel. Also there's organised chaos because it was never really built properly, the back wall behind the mitresaw has studs at 1220 centres that were only enough to hold a board & the bottom is sat on bricks but is 20yrs+ old now so hanging shelving units on it isn't ideal, I plan on extending the back & when I do the mitresaw table is coming out & hopefully that back wall can then be rebuilt. The whole thing just got stuff put in & gets moved around to fit other stuff, so really there's not a lot to see that you don't see in the videos, stuff, cobwebs, wood, sawdust & overspray 😂😁👍

@@Gidjoiner it’s great . I personally love it . Don’t get me wrong I love all the clean sparky shops 90% of CZcams channels have but yours brings 100% real world to the show. The struggle is real for most of us with dust and clutter , there’s so much to relate too with your videos and I think that’s why myself and others enjoy your videos so much. I just can’t find my bearings when you’re in your shop in relation to house garden and oreantation and layout lol . Maybe draw up a Birds Eye plan on your pc to help us understand lol . Anyway glad you’re feeling better and glad you’re getting some great content out again.

👍 I've got a list of 'short' videos I keep meaning to make, my videos are never short 😂🤦‍♂️ I'll see what i can come up with 👍

Thankyou Mike, much appreciated, glad you like it,. Yes the client is happy with it, I've worked for her quite a few times over the yrs 👍👍

😂 Yeah prob would cost as much, you could ask tho, an email with a pic costs nothing www.staedtler.com/uk/en/service/contact/, saying that postage to Aus. 🤔😮 & yep the mask is going to be a bit weird, my breathing really is going to sound like Darth Vader, & it's got a cod piece to go around the waste 😂

👍 No the drs didn't even look into it, they haven't got the money & therefore the time, they fix you up & get you out the door, I had an infection in my blood (Sepsis) that caused fluid on the lungs which created an ulcer, made a hole which then collapsed my lung, or I had an ulcer in my lung that caused the fluid which then rotted my lung, made a hole & got into my blood 🤷‍♂️ Either way when I'm spraying because I have stubble/a beard when I wear my other mask which is pretty good I can still taste a metallic type taste after spraying, So now my lung is partially damaged I guess it's time to make a bigger effort to look after myself a bit more, yrs of wood dust etc I've just lived, apparently they're mainly organic particles that your body can break down but these two part paints don't dissolve & so prob (definitely) aren't good to be breathing in 🤦‍♂️😂😂👍

@Gidjoiner I'm a doctor (not your doctor of course, so I can only guess) but I definitely would expect the lung infection came first. Whether the sawdust/wood had anything to do with it would be hard to prove, but protecting it now is ABSOLUTELY the right call. Stay healthy, pal. x

Yeah, image adjusting that tho with those wing nuts? 🤔

Yep....great idea,,,,,and to remind the younger ones the importance of a mask...

I was thinking of fitting a face frame to a cupboard on top of my kitchen units (that empty space at the top), which means three sides (left, bottom and ceiling) need to be scribed - not sure how to do this!

Never easy fitting to three points, hard to say without seeing it & not easy to describe it text, but make the board wider & taller than needed, scribe up to the ceiling so the bottom is roughly where you want it, make it a little bigger than the final size, leave the line in + a bit when you cut. Then scribe to the left, again leave that a little long 5mm-ish, If you're not scribing to the right either scribe the left so the right fits where you want it or cut the right to size after the left is scribed, When it's almost where you want it scribe again to remove the 5mm excess you left on in the first scribe.. You would normally scribe in one direction, scribing left & up creates an offset in where you scribed to the wall, but just the tiny offset that 5mm creates shouldn't be noticeable,, Good luck 👍😁

Gid, I reckon that a few videos on common things from a jobbing joiner perspective would be really valuable for a lot of viewers. I'm thinking back to some of your older short vids on hinges or why you use a particular sandpaper as examples. There's so much nonsense from people with these pristine workshops that just don't come across as having real world practical jobbing joiner experience. What has always set your videos apart is that you show real jobs in real houses. The value for apprentices is huge to see the reality where stuff isn't perfect.

Thanks 👍

😂 I keep seeing these things & some just look crap, some are over engineered, some you'd need to hands to adjust & even then it'd be awkward & others just simply won't work so that doesn't surprise me.👍 Yep these are as the title says the best I've had, I honestly think they're hard to beat 👍

Thanks, much appreciated 👍 I'm thinking of showing the basics in a vid, it might not be easy to replicate real life scenarios in the shed but if there's anything in particular you're thinking of I'll see what I can do. 👍

@@Gidjoiner Thank you Gid, just the basics I’m confident any info would be greatly received.

Good, glad they're working for you & yep I thought it was time I showed them because as the title says they're the best I've had to date 👍 Did I recommend them, mention them before or did you just work it out? Sorry memory like a fish sometimes 🐡😂

😁 I've done alcoves a couple of times & I'm not sure if I can replicate that in the shed but I'm seriously thinking of making a vid about the basics of scribing, I'll see what I can do. Thanks, much appreciated 👍

Thanks for the kind words, much appreciated 👍😊

😂 Amazon, Screwfix stopped doing them during covid, & before that my local stopped putting too many out because people were just filling their pockets 😂 I think they've gone digital in store now. I prob have a Screwfix one here n there but the majority are Half Pencils www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004G6PA0E/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Same I tried a few gadgets but bought a compass yrs ago when I was scribing an architrave to an exposed brick wall. They're amazing can't beat it. Going to order the ones gid has as my current one only takes round pencils.

Hi, thanks & you're welcome 👍 Yep too many gadgets out there all trying to reinvent the wheel. There's a couple of simple rules to scribing but unfortunately they're hard to put into words, maybe I'll make a short video one day

@@GidjoinerThat’s something I would also like to see when you get around to it Gid.

I'll see what I can do, thanks 👍

Thanks a lot, much appreciated 👍

Thanks a lot, much appreciated 👍 It's a compass that I swapped the needle point for a flat point that I think I made from a jigsaw blade, & then used a nail as a tiny rivet. + super glue, I like this one because you can put a normal pencil in it. The compasses are still available on Amazon www.amazon.co.uk/Staedtler-551-01-Precision-Universal/dp/B000WGVMNG?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE

Exactly, & frustration of having to find that 'thing' you put away somewhere safely can upset the flow of the day resulting in errors or rushed work.

Thanks much appreciated, glad you like it 👍 I never cut off things like cills, this type of thing maybe built in but is classed as temporary/semi permanent, when someone one day removes this they don't want to find some muppet has cut the end of the cill off. The same goes for scribing around skirting, remove the cupboard & find some lazy d*ck has cut a slot in the skirting instead of taking the time to scribe around it. 😡

@@Gidjoiner sH*T! Looks like i may get a few calls in the future 😆😆

That's what I presume but anyone daft enough to put their fingers in there deserves a bandaged finger, & there's a lot worse tools with exposed blades.. My shop extractor had a 2x2" square grid on the chip inlet which got clogged quickly, a sharp knife fixed that problem 👍

Thankyou, much appreciated 👍 Yep, can be a challenge but in a weird way I like that, stops life being boring 😁👍

Are you sure, maybe it was an illusion 😂... had to in order to use the router, had to sharpen it first too 😮👍

😁 Thankyou, very much appreciated 👍

Thankyou, very much appreciated, it came together ok in the end even if I say so myself 👍 😊

Thankyou, much appreciated 👍 😊
