    I just found your channel and I'm making my way through your past videos. I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your presentation. I'm an old boomer and really amazed at how just about anything a person wants to learn about can be found for free on you tube. Not only is the information there, but you can "shop" for the teachers you find most relatable. I have subscribed to 154 channels over the past few years and that's after probably watching dozens of content providers on each of the various topics that interest me to find the ones I like best. The absolute top priority in choosing my teachers is their relatability. If the content provider has a personality(at least what I can discern from their videos) that is friendly and has a dose of humor- that makes learning enjoyable. Next is their knowledge of what they're presenting. And finally the presentation itself; clarity of instruction,logical sequence of the lesson,video shots and photoshopped "post it notes". I especially like the shared mistakes/accidents, as they remind us that even the experts will miss something occasionally.
    You speak clearly,get right to the point; the camera work is spot on, and the edited "script/mark-ups" really drive home the points your focusing attention on. Add to that your dry humor with a touch of self deprecation and you become the teacher I wish was my next door neighbor! Just a very "wordy" way to say-your an excellent teacher and I really enjoy your channel. Looking forward to whatever the next videos cover.

    I apologize for being wordy. I am a CZcams fan of yours. I am writing this to several presenters.
    About 60 years ago, I took high school woodshop. Thereafter, I learned a few basic things from my grandfather and father. Over the following 20+ years, I had neither the money nor the space to do any woodworking. About 25 years ago, some tools were passed on to my by parents, so I took over my garage, but my skill was rudimentary; the things I created were crude and imprecise, but I enjoyed the process.
    About 5 years ago, I got very sick. During my recovery, I discovered you and your colleagues on CZcams. Since then, I have been a junky watching mostly woodworking videos. I must THANK YOU and your colleagues for teaching me so very much. I moved to a new home and created a shop on casters (I have to move cars) and have tried many of the things YOU have taught me-and bought way too many new tools!.
    I now spend as much time as possible in my shop and have actually created some pretty good project products and shop furniture. Without you to help me through my convalescence and your clearly understandable videos, I don’t think I would be enjoying this hobby as I do. Thank you and the whole CZcams woodworking community.

    Excellent advice, One tip you left out for the transporting plywood, so here's a pro-tip, Ask your friend that has a truck for help... The conversation starts like this "Hey buddy ol' pal ol' friend..." and then you get into the details from there... So not only do you have a truck for transport but you also have someone to help you carry the plywood into your shop. Frequently the panel saw at my local HD is "broken" I think they're just saying it's broken so they don't have to make cuts... I've had to go to another store to get the materials I need that has a "working" panel saw to make my cuts... I've been tempted to bring my tools with me and make the cuts to break down the plywood in the parking lot... oh that would be fun (Being sarcastic) 😜
    For breaking down plywood, I have tried a few things, but I like the 50" Harbor Freight straight-edge clamping bar, to make a cut you have to add the offset of the blade to the edge of the saw frame... It's like 1" or 1.5" so I make a mark where the cut is supposed to be then I add the offset and mark that, then I set the bar up... before I make the cut I check that the blade lines up on the cut line... a bonus is that the handle has a clamp built in and is inline with the direction of the cut so it doesn't get in the way. However I do like the jig you made too, I've used that type before, faster to line up the cut line and you can see where the saw will cut, but clamping can be tricky and I've had them interfere.

    • @rwind656
      @rwind656 Před 2 lety +1

      I bought one of the 52inch or so Harbor Freight clamping tracks. Haven't used it yet. Ply is too pricey. How about incorporating a piece of hardboard as a spacer onto or alongside that tool? Seems even a cut slice of hardboard, sized in width to a specific circular saw's blade offset, could be used to quickly set the clamp in place?

      @raymitchell9736 Před 2 lety +2

      @@rwind656 Yeah... I think you're right I think it was 52"... it's been years ago when I got it, I think it cost about $20 or so, I didn't think it was too pricey... but it turned out to be a good investment. A spacer for the offset makes sense for faster setup. Next time I need to break down some plywood I'll make one... an excellent idea. Thanks.

    • @TheNewbieWoodworker
      @TheNewbieWoodworker  Před 2 lety

      Thanks for the great comment. As for the friend with the truck, a friend of mine says that if you own a pickup truck, you can see it a mile away when someone's going to ask for help. 😄 As for breaking it down in the parking lot, that's actually a great idea. With a cordless circular saw, a clamp or jig, and something to set it on, it might actually work.
      I actually have a clamping straight edge I use - 3 of them in fact. But I've seen jigs like this before, and I just watched a video with someone using one, and thought it'd be good to include in a video. And it turns out it's pretty easy to use too.

    Great video as always, Dan, with some excellent safety tips for using a table saw.
    I just forwarded a link to it to my son who's relatively new to woodworking and who just purchased a table saw.
    But frankly I couldn't help thinking in watching your video how the points you make are really a compelling argument
    for biting the bullet and purchasing a track saw for cutting down large plywood sheets. It's much safer
    than a table saw and much more precise and easy to use than a circular saw. And when combined with a multi-function table
    (one with Festool MFT-style dog holes), it's actually at least as accurate if not more so than a table saw for making super precise right angle and 45 degree cuts. As you point out, it's definitely more expensive than a circular saw, but you can get a high quality one (e.g. Kreg, Makita) for well within the range of what most DIYers spend for a typical job-site table saw. And the market now offers low cost MFT options as well, far below the cost of a Festool MFT (e.g. Bora Centipede).

    Nice video :D I get my plywood cut in 3 pieced, just like you showed. Makes them more or less "hobby" size. By the way that cut you were uncomfortable with, I do all the time. Just keep watching the fence and not the blade. Also, here in Norway and in Europe no-name brand track saws are readily available and quite inexpensive. Some also run on the Maktia/Festool style rails, meaning the accessorites for them, like rail squares, will fit.

      Thanks again, Steve. I'm fortunate because I fell in love with editing videos before I shot any of my own footage. I spent a lot of time putting together music videos from footage I found on the Internet, and music I like. Once I started editing my own videos, it took a while to learn how to shoot video that would be useful in explaining what I did and how I did it. But of course I'm a perfectionist, and there were lots of times I didn't think the video showed the details well enough, so I learned SketchUp. The problem with all of this is that it takes me forever to edit a video, and it can get depressing to realize I might not be able to make the video I want. And that doesn't even get into the voiceover, which again takes me forever to get "just right". I *so* envy people that can talk straight to the camera, off the tops of their head.

    Thank you so much for this and all your other posts. I'm another lockdown newbie and I'm still absolutely terrified of the tablesaw that I bought to 'achieve all my projects'. Your manner and explanations have helped a great deal. As yet I still have all my digits. I've been using a jigsaw to break down all the BIG 18mm plywood boards that I reclaimed from next door's renovation. Even with pandemic prices, it seems the builders there have been using full uncut boards as table-tops for plastering and painting, then discarding them- lucky me, if I can sand them properly. For now I'm only interested in shop projects, so no worries about cabinet-grade finish...
    Nevertheless, that leaves me with boards that still feel a bit wieldy for the tablesaw at my level of confidence. I hate the phrase "man up", but the time has come. Hope to let you know how it goes, but if I don't, it's because a) It all went well and I cracked open the champagne, or b) I chopped off all my fingers and can't type ever again.
    Hoping for a), and wishing you all the very best for 2022.
    Cheers from London UK, Simon.

    OMG this is the video that I have been needing to find! I have no way to transport 4x8 sheets home. The one time I did, I had the store cut them down to 2x8, and they nearly broke the SUV , they were still so long. Cutting them down to 32"x48" is genius, wish I thought of that. Edit: actually in my case, I needed them 2' x long because I was making a workbench top out of them, so the 32"x48" size would not have worked.

    Good idea to cut 4*8 into 3 pieces. I always cut them into two 2*8 because I usually need one side to be ~2ft. It's a little tiring to put them into my small car though.

    When possible, I put the wider part of a panel cut against the fence. I then push with both hands on that wider part, pushing it into the fence. The off cut runs free.
    I haven't done this on the table saw, but if the wider part of the panel won't fit between the blade and the fence, I would clamp a board to the underside of the wider part, and run it along the left edge of the table. The board would keep the panel from moving toward the blade. That's a trick for ripping wide stock on a radial arm saw.

  • @terryt2910
    @terryt2910 Před 2 lety +1

    Entertaining and worthwhile video. Thank you! It looks to me that the circular saw's kerf will cause the cut to be past the guide's edge, the cut off piece will be narrower than the mark you measured. So, how might you compensated for that? You could estimate it, I suppose, but that seems a bit crude. Any ideas?

    Foam has one extra advantage - it prevents chip out on the bottom side, as the material is fully supported (like on zero clearance table saw plates). If you lay it on the ground - you can apply your body weight to the excess of table track (at the begging of the cut behind the saw, and then swapping...)

    At 5:20 I would rather cut it the way that makes you uncomfortable because more the stock is supported by the table saw and find it easier to keep it against the fence.
    As far as roller stands, I use the same ones but you have to make sure they parallel to the saw so the stock doesn't walk in the wrong direction, I wish I had purchased ball bearing stands to start
    Really like the video and that your back at it.

    The most important lesson I've learned for avoiding kickback is to make absolutely certain that your blade is parallel to your fence.

      @TheNewbieWoodworker  Před 2 lety

      Yes, that's important. But if the teeth in the back are protected by a riving knife or whatever, then even if the fence pinches the stock, the most it should do is make it harder to push the stock through. Of course, anything's possible...

    I made a couple saw boards using the factory edge of half-inch plywood as the "fence". It didn't occur to me to use an angle iron!
    I used the eight-foot saw board to rip 16-foot 6" pressure treated planks for my deck. I screwed the saw board to the planks. Mistake: I used only two screws, and when the cut relieved strain in the planks, they twisted and danced. Shoulda used three screws. Maybe four...

  • @michaelmcdonough1989

    Nice video Dan. Correct me if I am wrong, but when you measured the board you cut (near the end at 9:59) if the short piece was the piece you were to use it would be short due to the kerf of the blade. If the short piece was the off cut you would be okay. Always remember which side of the saw blade is referenced to the edge of the jig. BTW love the humor in your videos.

    The rule of thumb I've heard was don't make cuts on the tablesaw using the fence where the width of the cut (the part between the blade and the fence) is larger than the depth (height?) of the piece being cut.

      @TheNewbieWoodworker  Před 2 lety
