Just picked up my first table saw, been using my friend's shop for years. These tips were really helpful! Thanks!
Learning from Colin is like working with my next door neighbor. Always friendly and so informative. My favorite thing is that Colin is never apologizes for admitting that he learned from a previous mistake.
Thank You, Terry!
All good, but i especially like the quick slot jig. Really simple and effective. You can't beat that.
A quick and accurate way to square your miter jig is to flip it over, put it in the miter slot upside-down, bring it back towards you, and square it on the edge of the table saw top, or the fence rail, no awkward framing square, no other type of squaring tool.
I've been setting my miter jig like that since my father taught me back in the 60's.
@@pjmazar4533 : well now you know if a quick, easy, and very accurate way.
I’m sure your father would approve.
Here is another way to set your miter gauge to exactly 90° without any additional tools. Assuming the front edge of your table saw is 90° from the slots on top, turn your miter gauge upside down and place the miter bar in the slot and let the head of the miter gauge hang off the front of your saw. Loosen the bolt and slide the miter gauge up until the head butts up against the front edge of the saw. Tighten the bolt and you have just set it to exactly 90°. Turn the miter gauge over and place it back in the slot.
This is so simple yet ingenious it's one of those moments for me (which happens so often with woodworking/carpentry and I love it) where you feel stupid for never figuring it out on your own before.
So many things in wood craft take either a more experienced influence, or you do it the dumb inefficient way so many times that one day it clicks that there is a far better way. Again, you have a "shoulda had a V8" moment but they usually make me chuckle, and I'm happy to have figured out a better way
We used to hang it off the saw table in shop class and let gravity straighten it. Assuming your tables level of course
Great tips as usual. I've been making a living with carpentry and woodworking for 42 years and still learn everyday. You forgot to mention to subtract the blade thickness for making the slot gauge for the newbies. Thanks Colin, for the simple straightforward videos.
definition of humility, is to remain teachable. 👍
Learning about woodworking since last october, and read comments like yours, is a light at the dark tunnel. Learn always, everyday, is one of the reasons I started as a hobby
Love your vids Colin. Really, good useful info without taking 30 + minutes to make your point. Thank you
Adorei muito meu Amigo, tem muita habilidade e criatividade para facilitar o trabalho, é isso aí!
Abraço aqui do Brasil 🇧🇷
The 45deg trick is awesome! Great video. Thank you Colin!
I've been messing with wood for 55 years and I always love listening to what Colin has to say. Good job buddy.
That’s what she said
This video may be several years old, but the tips are timeless! Just yesterday I was struggling with a couple issues you covered and won't be struggling with them ever again. Thanks, Colin. ...Retired guy new to woodworking and new a Subscriber from Oklahoma, USA.
I like that piece of scrap as a shelf under the fence. Also that slot jig you made really slick no measuring.
Thanks Joe.
@@knecht105 I have a table saw and i rushed it did not choose the right one. So i am getting a new saw it is called everlution rage 5s table saw it is a job site table saw even has a sliding miter panel with a clamp. costs more but worth it my old saw cost just over £100 pounds. This new one one is Nearly £300 pounds.
I am from South Africa. Thank you for the very wonderful and helpful video. I am chasing 80 years and enjoy learning from the Masters. Blessings,
GREAT tips Colin. For some people they are obvious and for others (like me) they are light bulb moments.
Thanks again.
You're welcome. Thanks for watching.
Terrific video, thanks very much. I've just bought my first table saw and as a relative newbie I found your video quite valuable and informative. Thanks for making it!
I'm 51 years old and thanks to you, a source of inspiration, I decided to embark into learning woodwork... better late than never I guess. Ever since I repaired the bottom of my sink myself instead of paying $250.00 for someone else to do it (water rotted the wood) and I been watching your videos, i have decided that I will learn as much as I can. So keep those videos coming.
Carl - this might be the most helpful 7-minute video I've seen. I just started using a table saw a few weeks ago and I've been trying to find a way to make rip cuts when boards aren't straight on either side. Your screw-down idea is brilliant. Thanks for making this video. I've also subscribed. I really like how you explain everything in a low key, modest way.
Who's Carl? 🤪
this is the best tips and tricks video I've seen so far! so useful and actually fast and accessible. Don't have to spend a whole day and a bunch of money making different fancy jigs and such. Thanks!
Love your tips! Just watched a 20 min. video on how to make a jointer sled and you just showed me a 20 second hack to get an edge probably just as straight!
I appreciate your talent for explaining yourself...brief and clear instructions. Not 15 minutes of stammering and repeating ones-self to try and get a point across like some “instructional” videos. Not trying to be hard on those guys, it’s just not their talent....or mine for that matter! Glad I found your channel!
I sincerely thank you for this video! Very good tips, I'm absolutely making those keep jigs! going to make one for every 1/4 between 1 and 4!
Great tips as usual. I particularly like the out feed table and slot jig. Thanks.
Great tips Colin! A speed square (if you have one big enough) is also good for setting up the miter gauge. The lip on one edge let's you lay it flat on the table and still register with the miter slot. It also has 45 built in, so no need to line up numbers. Good for dummies like me who get the scale on the inside and outside of the carpenters square mixed up :) Downside - I generally have to lower the blade whereas the carpenter square goes around it.
Thanks for the tip Matt and thanks for watching!
Matt Heere yyyttfdfghjjuiihoiiijiiiiar)ï
T-square for squaring up works great!!
These are genuinely excellent tips. I've run many many boards through different types of saws, and I can't believe I didn't know the trick with the carpenter's square to the other slide!
Great tips & love the workmate idea...Thank you, once again Colin. God bless you & keep 'em coming.
Thanks Glyn ... many more to come.
The one for the lap joints. Oh my Gosh. I love iT!
I started wood working last winter out of curiosity due to watching my Grandpa be able to make and fix anything, never having to have fancy tools or digital readers to give him the results he needed. He has since passed before I could pick his brain about this new hobby of mine, but your video just showed/reminded me why my grandpa was the sh*t. Thank you for these tips sir, you have a new subscriber for sure. I look forward to more videos from you.
I'm new to wood working and I really appreciate your help. Thank you for the videos!
Colin, thank you so much for sharing these tips. I am a beginner at Woodworking and was looking for away Two Notch a project. Your method was awesome that works great for my project.
My jaw literally dropped for several of these. Great hacks that I will definitely use. Thanks!
I love the "non-jig" jointing trick! I needed that yesterday and will need it again tomorrow! I just found some nice plywood offcuts that will work perfectly for that! Thx again!!
And now I'm a new subscriber!!
Great idea for the outfeed table. I am definitely going to use that!
Thank you Colin, I especially like your tip to get a straight edge on bowed wood!
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
These are amazing tips, going to help immensely in the shop. Thank you!
Excellent, thank you for your time and expertise. Well done.
Just really getting started in the hobby. The outfeed table hack just saved me hours. Thank you!
I don't do a lot of woodworking, but now with your videos I feel empowered to do so, thanks ever so much!
I've had one of those workmate tables for probably 30 years. It really comes in handy for some tasks. I'm definitely going to use mind as an outfield table.
Great tips! I especially liked the outfeed table idea. My wife, dad, and I go to estate sales every week and just last week we went to one that had three of the Workmate benches for $10 each, but I didn't get them. Had I seen your video prior to that sale, I would have bought them all. Oh well. I'll find more, I'm sure. I hadn't even thought about them as a viable outfeed. Great idea!
Thank you very much for sharing these tips. Yes, I am late seeing this video but the information is still relevant. Thank you Colin!
Great tips.
With the slot trick, I clamp a piece of the material that needs to fit in the slot to my fence, then just do the 2 step off that then the fence.
No need for jigs and works for any size you need.
@STAINO - That’s brilliant... So simple yet ingenious...
Wouldn't you be off by the thickness of the blade doing that?
thanks Colin. I watch a lot of your videos have learned from them. again; muchas gracias amigo!
Thanks, Colin. Like the 45’ carpenters square hack. I have had a Workmate for almost 50 years and still use it.
Great tip for getting a straight cut on warped lumber - Thanks!!
I like all these from You and have bought many of these very convenient and light weight B+D foldable and easy to move gatchets. All Your tipps are worth noting, I do!
You are appreciated sir. Thank you . God bless.
Not just Quick, but GREAT Tips Colin.
I'm glad you liked them Peter!
Great input. The output table is definitely going to be used in my new shop.
I appreciate your slot jig. Great idea for quick grooves.
And the outfeed table - another great idea. I’m currently struggling with this issue. This video was very timely for me. Thank you!
Great tips as always! Thank you for sharing!
Just bought my first table saw. Thank you for the tips!!!

Creating an out feed table with the WorkMate is genius! Heading to the shop to build that right now! Thank you.
Great tips. I'm sure I will use every one of them. Thanks!
FanTASTIC information. Thank you!
REALLY liked the tip about cleaning up the live edge. Many thanks
I hope it helps you Mike. Thanks for watching.
Mike Peacock related to Mitch Peacock in the U.K. that has a CZcams woodworking channel?
Not that I know of, any link would be way back before the 1890s. Might look up the channel though :)
Awesome table saw jigs. And those older workmates are fantastic I have a couple perfect for a small shop
Thanks for watching Thom!
Thom spillane
I love this channel because you give us simple jigs and ideas that work. Nothing over complicated, nothing that a newbie can't do. As a newbie I appreciate that.
I hope they help you out Eric! Thanks for watching.
This was great Colin. Last year I stepped into the role of teaching wood shop to 9th thru 12th grade. I have a better than basic knowledge of tools and how to use them but I’ll admit I used you tube a lot. We are a special education school and had I not taken this over the kids would have lost it. Unfortunately this school year they are not doing the program but I am continuing to learn and hone my skills. This video was great. Thanks a bunch
This is one of. The best group of woodworkers shop hacks !
That tip/hack with the workmate alone made this whole video worth it. Not that the others weren’t good. Thanks.
I'm almost ashamed I didn't already think of a few of these myself.
Especially that slot "jig." So simple, yet practical and useful!
GREAT tips Colin, thanks for a great video!!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching.
Thanks you sir. I have recently got into and fallen in love with wood working. I have a lot to learn and am accumulating tools and equipment as I go project by project. I am looking at getting a table saw and the one wants only weakness is that it will not take Dado blades. This was very helpful.
Im a beginner and your way of explaining is so simple thank you
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Thanks! These hacks are really great and ridiculously simple. Should have thought of these myself but I didn't , so keep 'em coming!

Great tips, I'm sure they will help me quite a bit! Just yesterday I was fighting with a wide board while trying to cut it :)
Outstanding! Thank you!
Love your videos. The hack about the 3/4 slot....I'm so gonna steal that one from ya! Thanks for the ideas!
Great tips! I'm sure you've seen it, but there's an easy to build jig for getting a straight edge on boards -- instead of screwing them down. I use it a lot to get one good edge on salvaged pallet wood. Thanks for the tips!
Aa zzz.
Love the tip on using a workmate to make an out feed table. And here I had an old one gathering dust. Thanks!
You're welcome, thanks for watching!

That is a real winner!
This woodworking book is really detailed, *TopFineWoodworking. Com* ! With the aid of this plan, I was able to use words, drawings, real images and different diagrams. It is really an informative product. I am presently making furniture together with my brother and thanks to this product, I feel like helping him is possible.?
