- I know a lot of you have limited access to tools. So today's video is about working with the one tool you have, the jigsaw. When you only have a jigsaw to make a straight cut, it can be challenging to get an acceptable looking cut. With a few tips, you can make your jigsaw cut straight and clean.

one important lesson I've learned while doing it, is do not apply pressure. let the jigsaw move freely and slowly or else you'll get a non-perpendicular cut
I just learned that lesson the other night. One video I was watching said..." apply pressure " to the jigsaw. NO -- not good advice. I found that if applied just slight pressure or none,...just enough to keep the jigsaw against the guide board, and no more, it gave me the best cut. I totally agree with your post.
sound advice with no verbal padding. great video
Watched because of this comment
Agreed. Great video!
Under 5mins, straight to the point... well appreciated. Thank you!
I’m deciding on buying a jigsaw for DIY work, but I also planning on doing some cupboards myself.
Simply great advice, which is often lacking in on-line videos. Thank you.
My landlord only allow us to use a drill and a jigsaw in our apartment, and here's me wanting so badly to get into woodworking. This video just solved the last problem i had to effectively start making things. I can now begin planing out my new workshop. I can't thank you enough for this.
what the heck? Hows this legal? Next they wont allow android devices and force you to use iPhones in your apartment?
@@Dennis-1367 Sure, use a table saw to annoy the neighbours then
@@printedprops8730 as long as it's not during the night or on Sunday, or all day long, who cares?
@@Dennis-1367 the neighbors
thats dumb as heck haha no one can specify tools, only disallow too loud sounds.
Saved me making about ten mistakes and wasting materials - thanks so much!
OMG! So glad I just found you! We're getting new carpeting in our older home that we've been steadily upgrading through the year's and we have 6 door's we have to trim. 3 of them are brand new Jeld-Wen hollow core door's that I just painted and we installed and when I heard the word's 'you have to cut them',...I thought I'd be sick lol! I just called my husband telling him I watched your video and we can totally do this and he's even going to buy a new saw etc just so we have no issue's at all so, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!! I'm going to get my saw horse's now lol!!!!!!!
Excellent delivery, clear and straight to the point. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this information. Just purchased a jigsaw and I’m going to be cutting my first straight line soon. Thanks again!😊👍
short, clear, and to the point. Well done brother.
Omg!! I learned a lot.. Thanks buddy.. Now I can make my own straight cut..
I just got a big smile from your comment! Thank you.
I just got into woodworking d/t COVID-19 and did not have a circular saw. Father-in-law gave my husband a bunch of tools a couple of years ago. We bought a miter saw but I can't rip plywood. I'm very excited to learns these tips and tricks! HomeDepot is great but sometimes their cuts are a lil off.
Thank you so much for this video!! I even replayed and paused to write things down because I'm making a pantry and while I have a circular saw, It's heavy and I'm a small woman and am afraid of it lol. This just alleviated my fear and now I can make my own straight cuts without worry! You totally rock!!

Very helpful video! Thx
Hey man, I'm really glad you created this video. Thanks for your reply on your other video about circular saw.I haven't gave up on my jigsaw yet (though I spent ungodly amount of time looking at circ saw vids and how to use it). Months ago I bought a set of extra clean wood cut from Bosch and there's a big difference with the cut quality.
I plan to use the factory edge of my once I purchase another playboard to act as straight edge for future jigsaw cuts. Finally, your way of getting the guide measurement is fantastic, thanks for the heads up.
As always, appreciate your time and be well!
I'm so grateful for your viewership! I'm always looking for video ideas, so if you want me to teach on a certain topic, just let me know.
Thanks! Really useful. I messed up with circular saw and need to fix it.
You are welcome!
wow! very useful thank you
Great info
Love your work! It would be much appreciated if you could demonstrate how to rip a 2.4 metre or any lengthy 2×4 into 2 2×2s with a jigsaw, cheers
Thanks so much.

@@TrainingHandsAcademy thanks!
Great video! Thxs
Thanks for watching!
Awesome bro!
really excellent tip! Subscribed:-)
Well, that helped me a lot! :)
I'm glad! Thanks for the comment.
Brilliant video! It seems almost no one talks about cutting a straight line with a jigsaw. I have relied on my jigsaw for a long time for just about everything that needed to be cut because it’s not an intimidating power tool. I was afraid to use a circular saw but recently I got the mini circular saw from Dewalt and I love it. Now I’m always looking for things to saw 🤣 PS, new sub 🙂
Welcome! Thanks for the comments!
@@TrainingHandsAcademy A suggestion for a future video, I think lots of your female subs would enjoy a video on the mini circular saws available.
