Thank you for the great explanation.
I was confused as to how to go about making notches in a 4 x 4 piece of wood.
Videos like this one. Thank you! Straightforward, no long introduction.
From across the pond - I found that really useful, short, simple and straight forward. Great stuff.
Is that “pond” referring to Atlantic?
Watching your videos has taken me to the next level of carpentry. Thank you!
This helped me a lot lot lot! Thanks a ton! I came to my native house where I had only the circular saw and was in a requirement to do three notch cuts on a single lengthy teak wood for a mosquito net frame. I applied your technique 2:00 by cleaning the cuts with the circular saw swiping movement itself. This worked like a charm and was amazed while doing the work thinking of you. Thanks a lot once again. 🙏👍
Thank you for taking the time to comment. :)
@@TrainingHandsAcademy ofcourse yes. You are dedicating whole lot of your time for wonderful informative videos. Infront of that commenting is nothing. Only thing I can do is, appreciate your talent & dedication. Thanks a lot. 🙏
I've just learnt a lot in 6 minutes. Just subscribed thanks.
Same here
Me too. Thanks
Thank you for the video. Explained very clearly. Just got a used circular saw and watched your videos , part 1 and 2 of the beginner's circular saw guide.
Never used a circular saw, just bought one and about to start work with it. I was confused because all videos say the blade has to be at a depth below what you are cutting, so good to see the versatility of uses in this video
You are a great instructor and you make even the simplest things seem interesting! Thank you.
First time here and I'm hooked!
One of the best instructional videos I've yet seen; no irritating blurb and all information delivered clearly and efficiently. Subscribed!
I love this tip! I actually just made a short with circular saw tips and this was one of them.
Well spoken & detailed. As a novice woodworker but someone who has always just dove in., I really appreciate the time you spend detailing not only the “how” but also the “why” . Thank you again!
I appreciate that Eric!
Great explanation with none of the irritating gimmicks! Thank you sir!
It's video's like this that make CZcams worth it's weight in gold. Very clear and easy to follow. I learned a lot. Many thanks for sharing.
Great job Josh, well explained and instructions easy to follow. God Bless Paul
I’ve mostly used bridle & dovetail joints, but now that I’ve purchased a circular saw, I’ll be glad to add these other techniques to my toolbox
Thanks..loved the tip about holding the speed square to get the circular saw to be cutting straight
Incredibly helpful, thank you! Still trying to be more precise with my circular saw, these tips will come in handy.
You're so precise in your teaching, while doing your video's. Thanks much
Good, clear demonstration of the various joints. Thank you.
Good evening
Thanks for the step by step explanation.
I am just starting out on wood working.
God bless you
Very useful.
Greetings from India
👍👍👍
What a great video. Must have taken a lot of time to put together, much appreciated!
You solved a problem I was thinking about. I need to make a 5/8" deep channel, just 3/8" wide along a piece of 3/4" plywood, running for about 8". It will be a simple stand for holding up a 6"x6" tile to be used as a quick notepad with a dry erase marker. The channel however is slanted to keep the tile at an angle so it stays put. The circular saw technique you taught in this video for notches can work for my project with the saw set to that desired angle and depth. I was contemplating using a trim router to do this but could to quite figure out how to create the angle in the channel. Thanks.
I’m just about to build a garden arch, with like a pergola top, and your video has just taught me how to do the top joints, great video keep the good work up
Superb instructional video. Quick, simple and to the point. Excellent!
I like this how it’s very straight forward information right away,thank you
This is a great how to video!!! I asked Santa for a kreg jig so I can make my own storage pieces. I have never used a power tool, but have been inspired by the women on CZcams, Eternal Harvest, Ana White and April Wilkerson. I am a new subscriber 😁
I'm honored to have you here Angie!
Thanks man, I got started woodworking a few weeks ago and how to create these type of joints was a mystery until now
I'm excited for you Conrado! Have fun!
Thank you so much ❤️ Learned a lot from this video. Great instructor
Got a "C" in woodshop in Jr. High School. Wish you had been my teacher. Great video.
Thank you ! It's nice to have an explanation straight and to the point. Great demonstration. lol just learning at 63 year young off-grid woman. Many Blessings and Thank you again for sharing your knowledge.
I'm glad it was helpful Asharay, and thank you for the blessings!
Indeed I learned something! Also great presentation to the point, thanx
In my oppinion, the half lap is a joint every woodworker, hobbyist to professional, should learn how to make.
The table for my jobsite tablesaw and router and my assembly table were made using mostly half laps. The half laps on my assembly table were made on the sliding miter saw. :)
I love joints
You definitely are a skilled carpenter and you are able to convey the information simply and quickly. This is also a skill. Thank You for sharing you knowledge with us!!
That's very nice of you... thank you.
Dude you are soooo good at the videos! So easy to understand and well explained. Thank you!
Wanted to do the cross dado for my sisters balance beam. Very helpful video. Thanks so much!
Great tips, very helpful as I don’t currently on a table saw, but I do have a circular saw, thank you for the video!
Thank you for this wonderful instruction.
Excellent video!
Thanks for your time and most of all, a big thanks for posting. Cheers man👍
My pleasure Dan Dan!
I always had a big rough rasp with me to smooth out the notch after you knock out the kerf pieces. The rough side of rasp removes the high spots and flip it over and couple strokes with the smoother side of rasp and you've got a nice smooth even notch! When the deck building craze of the 1980 's took off , we built a bunch of decks and made lap joints on deck posts to set ledgers on! I discovered what a great tool the old Stanley rasp is,and been using it since
Great tip! Thanks for taking the time to tell us Greg!
Thank God for you bro. So much useful info in an efficient amount of time.
Great information and instruction. I really gained a lot of useful knowledge with this video. Thanks for sharing your skills. 👍
Great, I was looking for something like that, please make videos of recommendations for the ones who don’t have many tools but very basic stuff .. thanks !
Oh man, I just love all the videos you make.....instructional and to the point. Keep them coming and God bless
I appreciate that Jacob! God bless you too my friend.
Best video on this I have ever seen. Great explanations
Great teacher. Taught me more in 6 mins than I did back in school
Quick, informative. Learnt a lot in 6 mins, thanks !!
Great tips. I like your straight forward information style. I cut those notches same way. I use the same thickness scrap piece of wood in front of the notching piece as a guide - it helps keep all cuts same depth, no early lifting or dipping. Also, I find it easy to clean notches with horse rasp, probably works only with softwood.
Great info... thanks for the comment!!
Great tip to help avoid dipping!
a really clear explanation of the techniques and the joints on which you can use them. v good videography btw. thanks :-)
Thank you for your vlog I've learned so much from you ty.
Great video.. every joint and cut explain very well. Learn something today..😁
Kind of basic, but very well explained. Got my thumbs up!
I've used this in the past,but it's been a few years. We're fixin to get into raising meat rabbits and I've got some hutches to build from mostly rough scrap lumber. Much of it is irregular so this is one way to keep the hutch frames looking decent even if they're not exactly square,plumb,and true.
I'm beginning to have interest with carpentry and power tools and your video helps alot. Easy to follow and understand.
Thank you for letting me know. :)
Love this video. Very clear and to the point.
Thank you Sir your instructional video and knowledge is very much appreciated.
Thanks so much for this. Watched this after your circular saw part 2 video, and I'm definitely going to get the clamp on the straight edge tool!
Got yourself a new subscriber-cheers for quality, no BS content and clear explanations!
Thanks for subbing Freddie!
Great gifted teacher. Thanks
This was super helpful and the camera shots were great! Thanks a bunch!
Just what I was looking for, thanks.
This was a great video. Thanks for making this.
I learned a basic skill with confidence. Great video!

Redoing my deck.
My first time notch 4x4's to attach to the sidebof my deck
Enjoy the process. Thanks for the comment.
Awesome and educational video mate, thank you so much! I will try some of your methods soon . . . . :)
Many thanks sir. Your teaching method is very useful.
I'm excited to try some of these joints. I am not a woodworker, but I want to become one. Your videos are great. Just what I need to get started. Thank you so much
Glad you like them!
This is really good.Info delivered fast without waste words.Thanks
Smart, understanding of showing things to people
Great video. Perfect pace and instructions!!!
Great content for us wood working beginners
Great training. Thank you for the same.
Best video I’ve seen so far on the subject matter
Very nice video, thank you. Great teaching skills.
I cut my joints with a tiny bit of tobacco, a pinch of lavander and a moderate helping of rose petals.
All organic or beyond organic of course!
Thanks for the demonstration video!
I learned a LOT! thanks for the video!!
Amazing! I was just needing to make a notch so i am so glad i subscribex and hit the bell! I am totally sharing this now on FB. Thank you
Awesome! Thank you Allan!! 👊
Learning a lot from your videos. Thank you much.
Excellent video. Many thanks for the tips and tricks. I have an older, massive circular saw my dad gave me. Now I have some ideas of what I can do with it, although I did use a jigsaw to do the cutting for some wood to clean the joint out like you did with the circular saw. More unwieldy but interesting. I would saw give it a go as it's useful but be careful. Got a little kickback. Be safe. Thank you.
Thanks for the comment Blazing Smoke!
Thank you very much for this comments. I am a new beginner and have a number of projects to improve the outside of our house. I did not know how to start. Again thank you...
