  • A very simple jig allows anyone with a track saw or circular saw to copy an existing piece - exactly!

    This has been incredibly helpful! My school cancelled shop class, so I lost my access to a table saw. I almost bought a contractor/job site saw, but luckily, I found this video, and now I don't need the extra expense. Thank you!

    Okay, I have watched EVERY woodworking video on CZcams and have never seen this method. I remember in engineering school how the simplest, most logical approach could often be the most elegant solution and this one is that. Great option for all shops, especially small ones. (Well, maybe not watched every video, but I have earned a Master of DIY from CZcams U.)

    Nevermind the jigs etc, what interests me is the state of the tools etc in the background. This is a proper workshop with more than likely multiple jobs going on at the same time, hence stuff all over the place. In contrast to other CZcams "shops" where the tools are all on peg boards, racks of drills and more Festool boxes than Festool have in the warehouse, and not a pick of sawdust anywhere. I would show my bench if I could find it... Nice one Stuart.

      A bit unfair. Many college courses give students the space and facilities they don't have at home. Nowadays, college students also follow CZcams videos which keeps the tutors on their toes (many of the tutors also make YT videos). It's a pattern for all trades. Eg our regular heating and gas engineer is one of the few tradespeople we know who has a son going into the trade - getting all his certificates and watching videos and talkign stuff through with his dad who is, as a result, learning new relevant stuff too. A few years ago, YT vids were often unhelpful, dangerous, bad sound, bad lighting, bad camera angles but now we have good bandwidth and high quality productions

    Having watched this a few times now, I get it! So amazingly elegant. I've had to draw a diagram of my own setup for my circular saw. In my case I will use the wide side of the circular saw for a guide as I have trouble keeping it square when I use the thin side, but perhaps the thin side works anyway because the saw has so much to lean on?

    Like it! I just completed my first cabinetry project. I made a simple jig for my circular saw to be used in combination with long straight edge like a level or similar. I ripped two small blocks of ply now to get the distance from outside of my saw bed to the blade on each side. I then used whichever one matched the directions I was cutting as a offset template to set the straight edge up parallel to a line and to run the saw against. With a thin pencil line this proved very accurate. I also used it to repeat cuts for multiple panels. Cut the first panel as above then lay this on top of the next, squaring up as many side as possible. Then use the offset template to setup the straight edge exactly along the cut line of the top panel. Cut along this line and the bottom panel (panels depending on depth limit of saw) will be near on exact to the top panel. Good enough for my diy project anyway! Love the videos!
