  • Half laps and some other woodworking operations require finding the exact center of the workpieces. This is the fastest, easiest and most foolproof way that I've found yet.

    Nice! And you don't even have to move the saw blade to exactly 45 degrees to find the center. Any angle will do the trick, as long as you cut both sides of the test board with the same angle.

      Geometry, probably... It always blows my mind how both the best machinists and woodworkers just have such an intuitive grasp of geometry

      It is clear Jodi has a great grounding in geometry! To that end, there are even a couple of woodworking authors (Jim Tolpin and George Walker) who are avid woodworkers and committed math geeks. They have written three (or more) books highlighting woodworking skills in light of mathematical truisms. Fascinating, even for this committed math geek. One of the books, "From Truths to Tools," is even masquerades as a children's book. Available at Lostartpress.com and a wide variety of woodworking outlets.

  • @supersignsaustraliaptyltd3734

    It all makes so much sense, true craftsman true genius, using repetition and the tools we have to achieve the best result. one of my fav channels. I laugh at the end of every vid I watch, I have made every mistake he has the solution for but this channel has changed my way of thinking. How can I do this easier how can I do it more accurate, how can I do it safer, this channel has most of the answers but I am starting to understand this craftsman. I am nowhere near or will achieve his level of expertise in my lifetime but his shear logic and well explained vids has expanded my abilities, projects and level of weekend wood working adventures. Thanks for sharing very much appreciate from downunder.

    Great tip Jodi. Great video too. Note though that the angle for the cut can be anything and this technique will still work, it doesn’t need to be exactly 45 degrees. As long as you keep the angle the same on both cuts, 30 degrees will work, 42 degrees will work…you get my point.

    This video is two tricks in one - the line for the saw blade to know its max height was brilliant. I'm constantly fidgeting with setup blocks and rocking the blade back and forth to find the highest point, and using a vertical reference line makes that super easy. Going to mark all my blades with one now.

    This is an excellent method. It's not difficult with a saw that has a vertical arbor lift mechanism. But for older saws that have a pivot lift mechanism, the position of the reference tooth will change slightly and so care must be taken to bring it back to TDC.
