Wood anything , etc. Much more enriching than wealth. Today i can only watch others . But memories are there, of past achievements wonderful life.
I like how fast and concise he delivers the info
Tommy is the man! He's my write-in vote for president in 2020.
Quick concise explanation and detail! Learned a lot in less than 4 minutes! Learn how to set up a stair stringer in less than 10 seconds! I love this
Tommy is terrific!
As always, great information!!!!! Merry Christmas to all!!!
helpful information, thank you for sharing.
great video thanks guys
Learned something...thanks!
Hi guys, that is great info on the most misunderstood tools. Thanks and Merry Christmas...Frank
Tommy, Kevin. Other Cool Features - The Swanson Speed Square has a patented feature - the diamond cut, a diamond-shaped cut-out on the ruler edge of the tool. This is used for squaring on a line scribe-ed across the board so that you can then make a perfect 90° line from your scribe-ed angled to the edge of the board. Showed, me what I missed about my Speed Square on 45 degree side as a skill saw, fence. I've, used it as a skill saw fence, for accurate 90 degree straight cuts for years. But. Now, watching this video I've picked something new. It's, called Speed Square, because the inventor Al Swanson, said, "it speeds up my cuts, and helps make those cuts square and clean. So, I chose the name because of it's functionality not it's shape. It, gives you fast square cuts."
Thanks for information 👍🏻
Thanks guys, Amazing
Outstanding!
Great tips👍👍
Mind blown!
I learned more from this video than I did in the first 5 years of work.
Why we keep calling these triangles square? ;)
jokes aside, I learned something new, so thanks :)
I wish Tom was my grandfather, not because my own grandfather is not a cool guy, but because I could borrow Tom's tools for my projects :D
That brass screw at the tail on the combination square is used to scribe wood like dove tails or if you don’t have a pencil.
Of course you have to unscrew it to use the pointed end of it.
Tommy is the man
Whole lee shit. Most knowledge and info packed into 3 minutes. Awesome!
love you tom
Mr. Tom you had a segment on cutting boards beautiful board but I didn't see you make a juices groove did I miss it.?
I love using Soars to cut Futty Fuuves.
Hello :)
Super job :)
Like :)
Tom I have a question for you in my back bedroom in the corner I’m starting to see separation from one wall to the other deeply concerns me if the stucco or there is dry rot underneath the foundation that is causing this separation slim floor Two ceiling do you have any suggestions do I need to get in to the wall it is our third bedroom we have the original hardwood floors I wish you guys came out to California Mike in Concord California
Saw this
That screw in the combination square can be un-screwed and used for a scribe if you don’t have a pencil or used for an awl.
Music. The circle... Of FIFTHS! 😳 !! Whaaaaat 👀
Hi everyone at TOH ,Merry Christmas !!!
Mike Nelson Merry Christmas Mikey.
Confused on 10" tread with 7" riser. I see he set blade at 10" but I didn't see the tongue set at 7". Can someone clarify plz?. Thanks!
I'm just as confused. Seemed to me he was doing a 10" tread and 8" riser, right? What am I missing?
It looked like 10 by 7 1/2.
To me it looked like 8 lol
My grandfather would always snap a line from corner to corner and go off the line not the crown when doing stairs for the perfect set of stair horses... go off the edge of the wood and not the line will through them off...
Ahenkel36 Them Old Pros hey my Grandpa was a Carpenter also
I need a metric square ... Yall got anything
Wow I should have been a carpenter
But you're not Blanche, you're not a carpenter...
👌🙏👏👏👏
Just think if like the rest of the world you measured in metric you would use one measurement ie mm. But instead we get to use sixteenths, eights, quarters, half inch, three quarters, inches, feet and so on. Try this: nine sixteenths plus seven eights plus three and a quarter inches. Then try 10mm plus 8mm plus 140mm plus 14mm. See which is the easier and quickest. I worked all my life in construction and dreaded the change from imperial to metric in the 70’s Now when I visit my family in Texas I bring all my metric tape measures etc with me. Could not go back to that system.
Yep, but we're stuck with it I guess.
Specially for precision works , the milimeters do a great job!
I spent three years in Holland designing and using only metric. Only when we had USA products did we use inches, but converted them all by 25.4. Now I use only CAD in MM and any inch stuff I convert.
9/16+14/16+3+4/16=3 27/16=4 5/16 i did that in a minute with fingers as a calculator
@@natalieisagirlnow Takes no time with metric.
Why is a 2by4 1,5inches wide, i thought that it was 2inches by 4inches
2 by 4 are the dimensions of the lumber in its rough cut stage. once it's been milled down it's 1.5 by 3.5 but we still call it 2 by 4
Im here from google classroom lol

*WTF you can go on forever but we will leave right there? Keep going? You have no confines of network TV. This is CZcams!?!?*
This Old House is a TV show the clips we see here are clips from the show. So yes they are confined to network TV. But there are videos already here on YT that you can watch that go over everything.
Very clever but still in imperial units... the horror...
Why is a 2x4 called that, but it's a 1 1/2x 3 1/2?🤷🏾
Just old terminology. They used to be a true 2 x 4 back in the day. Over the years they just slimmed down the lumber hence why building codes change. A 2 x 8 is now 7 1/4 not even 7 1/2
1st.
3/10ths I DONT GET IT. 1:20 mark. you said 7 inch riser and you had it on a 8 inch riser. so, do you mean a 7 or 8 inch riser? YOU DID IT TWICE. you are cracking up tommy.
The marks on that edge of the square are 10 marks per inch, rather than 8 or 16. So 3 marks = 3/10 of an inch. As for the stair tread, I think he was just rushing through so he didn't get things lined up as precise as he would have if he was doing it for real.
I saw it at 7 1/2.
First
reupload much?
Tommy 2020,. Much better than trump
the host of show keeps breaking Tommy's balls, being a little of bully, think Tommy is a push over, Tommy shows him little signs of "dude if you only knew"
He did not properly mark the steps for stairs. This video should be removed...
Way to commercial......Typical paid advertisers. Show me what all those lines mean on a square...show me all the other things a speed square does...we/I watch for all the secrets...don't waste our time on the BS....
