Nice video.
I'd be interested whether you think there's a correlation between experience and injury rate. I suspect that most accidents with these things happen to medium-experienced woodworkers who get complacent / careless.
The first few times you turn on a table saw you KNOW it's really dangerous. After a few hundred cuts you start to forget that, and that's when you get hurt.
That's an interesting question. I think in the beginning, there's a safety learning curve where it's important to at least understand what can potentially happen and how to avoid injuries. With a solid base, you are probably hyper-aware of everything you do. Then as you get more time in, it's easy to get complacent. You might be right: that medium-experienced zone is probably the most dangerous time.
That said, plenty of injuries happen to experienced woodworkers. We might be well aware of safe procedures and do everything right, but one moment of losing focus can lead to an injury. It's the very definition of an accident. Kind of like how you can drive a car for years but still space out and run a stop sign.
I strongly believe in making dry-runs a habit. I honestly, seriously do this all the time. There have been procedures where I've made dry-runs and just didn't feel 100% confident. That's when I know I need to come up with a different strategy for making the cut.
I'd love to hear what other people have to say about this question!
I think the more experienced get hurt more often. I know this from experience lol. I feel that the more wood working you do the more you get into "the zone" and start letting your guard down because it starts becoming like second nature. That's all it takes then, bam, you get hurt.
You can get injured regardless of your level of experience. When you're starting out, you make mistakes due to lack of knowledge. When you have some experience, you get complacent and lose focus for an instant and have an accident that way. Then you get lots of experience, you start to thing that the rules don't apply to you, and again... an accident.
I just got a table saw and from first cut to the last one i did i did a dry-run and i always will be. Thank you so much for making this video! I'd like to keep my fingers and hands!
@@vileguile4 Please do! I'm recovering from a very fortunate accident, where I lost focus and only required three stitches (and lost two fingernails!)
imagine the cut? I dont even have a table saw, I'm just imagining being a woodworker.
Careful! That's the first step!
Still no guard
hahaha thanks for the laugh
Go for it try some woodworking it’s very good feeling once you set out to build something and you finish go have fun and the possibilities are endless
LMFAO
The "imagine your cut" or "do a dry run" advice from Steve is the first thing that I do everytime.
Same.
Yes!! Such good advice!
Still no guard........WHY,!!
The best way to do it! Yup!
Fundamentally changed how I work now. Priceless advice.
Don't fear that power, but ALWAYS respect it!
I had a tablesaw injury this week and it was from a hazard that is not mentioned often. I was swapping blades. The saw was unplugged. I had removed the blade and set it aside. I was reaching into the saw to clean some of the build-up of sawdust. I cut my arm on the sharp edge of the table casting. It was a minor cut, but it could have been worse. Remember that the internal parts may have sharp edges.
Steve is like the Bill Nye of woodwork. So inspiring, helpful and fun!
"Don't fear that power, but always respect it". Great nugget of wisdom, Steve. Applicable to other aspects of life, not just woodworking. I love your videos.
Hey, Nubbs here. First time back on the table saw since high school wood shop when I cut a perfect 45 through two fingers.
I need this. I have had a table saw, in a box for 3 years. Scared to open it up. LOL Had a kick back years ago and it scared the heck out of me. Last time I ever used the table saw. Time to be brave!
I had a similar experience about 8 years ago when I first started using a table saw... but that’s because no one taught me how to properly use it! Kickback is actually very easy to prevent, even without a riving knife (although that will certainly help). Some tips: 1) Make sure your blade is spinning at maximum rotation before you try to push material through. 2) For rip cuts, expect the blade to want to push material towards you. Your job is to provide resistance to that movement as you move the material against the spin. This is a very nuanced dance as pushing too much or too little can be dangerous. Kickback can sometimes occur when you try to push material through but you aren’t providing ample resistance with your right hand as you push. This takes a little practice because it’s kind of a “feel” thing. It is nerve racking the first few times, but as long as proper resistance is there, it will not kickback. 3) Make sure you are maintaining a steady pressure into the fence as you rip material. The material will not naturally travel through the blade in a straight line and if it wavers too much, the pieces can pinch the blade, causing kickback. The table saw will work with you but only when you keep your material locked into your fence. 4) Push material into the fence beneath the blade (closer to you). Avoid pushing material against the blade as this can also create a pinch that might cause kickback. 5). Never ever pivot material as it goes through the teeth of the blade. Always keep your material pushed up against your fence and as straight as possible. 6) This one is the least intuitive, but incredibly useful. Keep calm and (as long as your hands are clear from the blade) you can actually stop moving material while maintaining resistance in both directions (against the teeth and against the fence). You can hold material still as the blade spins in the middle of a cut and, if you are applying enough resistance, It should remain still. This is a great default if you are feeling overwhelmed mid cut. It should also enable you to turn off the power as the blade only kicks back if it’s meeting resistance. Keep watching table saw videos to get a better idea of how to position your body and learn technique. Good luck!
@@stephenschaffenberger6765 Thank you so much! Yes, I binge watch tool movies constantly and read many magazines. Thank you so much for your advice&
@Fist Bump Thank you so much for the tips!
I absolutely love this! I'm almost 24 years-old, avid computer/office guy, but I've always loved getting my hands dirty and handsy. I worked at Home Depot as a stocker for a year and stocked everything imaginable including the heavy table saws, routers, sanders, blades, sand paper bands, etc. I've thought about doing woodwork for years but never seriously considered it. But now as I have a very nice job with an above average income and a yearn to get away from the computer, I plan on investing $1,000 to $1,500 into the equipment he listed as well as tools, materials and etc. I want to start small and steady and advance and make furniture as a hobby, for family/gifts and possibly to sell!
These videos are astounding and I plan on following all of them - thank you for this video, it was great to find your channel!
That sounds great dude! how you getting on?
I can see why you have 1.68 million subscribers. Great teaching and demonstration skills!
I used my table saw today after watching this video. Thanks for your help.
So many videos touch on safety but only as an after thought. As a beginner I am so grateful this video focused on safety alone. I would love to see a series of safety videos for all power tools if you havent done it already. You do them very well! Thanks
Steve, your videos are truly in a class of their own.
Packed with relevant information and very fun to watch - with a positive attitude from start to finish.
You will get my vote for the title planet earth's first ambassador of woodworking.
Haha...well thanks Niklas!
I agree. I love his approach/attitude. He makes it enjoyable.
Greetings from the Maldives,
Steve is a good actor and flawless woodworker
Still no guard!!!
3400 SKIL SAW BLADE NUT --LEFT OR RIGHT THREAD ?
Greatest table saw video on the internet.
The most practical advice for any new physical bodily movement you perform in life: 8:52 but especially for this as well
I often get shitty watching DIY tip videos that confuse the hell out of me but this is a good one. Everything I needed to know. Thanks
You’re such a great presenter to the camera and everything is so well thought out to make it seem flawless. Well done mate.
Well thank you. I really appreciate that!
100% agree! You’ve taken the mystery away and set some great guidelines for safety which is paramount of course.
Yes but Steve forgets one vital?? No guard......dear chap never replies to this comment....
@@johntaylor1359 I’ve found a guard more troublesome than helpful for accurate woodworking to be honest. I still use my riving knife, but I’ve cut off the top that attaches to the guard, so I can do rabbets and groves with it still in place.
Abso rubbish why no bloody guard Steve. Please answer
Hey man! I’m a 13 year old, with your help I started woodworking with just
Leftover wood from home refurnishing
Cheap chisel
Cheap hammer
Electric sander
Some 4 dollar clamps from Walmart.
This just goes to show how much you can make with so little, and such good of a teacher! Stay safe!
This vlog did help to take the anxiety out of using my saw for the first cuts. Very Nice.... Let me watch again, Can't hurt; actually may prevent it.
just bought my 1st table saw, after years of wanting to upgrade from a handsaw.
while i feel like a lot of this is common sense, i feel confident enough to use it now.
thank you
As someone who is beginning to work with wood, I loved your presentation of each small step. This was extremely well done.
Its nice to see you making these "basic" videos again. There really hasn't been anything else out there as detailed and straight forward as your videos. As a beginner, I can't tell you how empowering and confident your videos have made me feel over the years. I have completed more than I ever believed I could and I have you to thank for that.
This should have 744 million views! Great vid!
It's been a couple years since I used the saw, and also since I watched this video which made a great refresher.
Wow, I remember when you got your PC table saw. That means I’ve been watching your videos for more than ten years. You do a great job of teaching.
I work with my tools very infrequently, so I like reviewing these kinds of videos before I start on any project. You're helping me stay safe and professional. Thank you for your time and effort, it does a lot of good!
I might be overcautious but I'm an ER RN and see the damage these things can do, the video is exactly what I needed to get started, thanks!!
STEVE!!!!!! You made this video especially for me!!! I have watched many, many videos (including yours of course)!!! I have purchased my table saw (Fury 6 - duo chop saw/table saw), and I tried it out and switched it off VERY QUICKLY, and don't want to touch it again!!!!! So when I saw the thumb nail - I thought, I NEED TO WATCH THIS VIDEO!!! Thank you very much for all your invaluable advice - I really appreciate it!😜
Great video!
For the part where you demonstrate usage of the push sticks, it should probably be explicitly mentioned that the the 2nd push stick you use (with your left hand) shouldn't exert pressure towards the blade on the piece you're cutting. Last thing you'd want is for it to bind with the blade.
Just want to give credit where it’s due. Thank you so much for all your woodworking/safety videos. Calm voice and presentation with tons of info. I really cannot thank you enough. I hope all is well and thank you !
I saw a video you made a few years back where you gave the same dry run advice. It's something I ALWAYS do.
I am 67 years old retired amateur just started using table saw, your video is so interesting, I love it.
Great tip to imagine the cut before making it. Whenever cutting long heavy stock I like to do a practice run with the saw off and the blade down. I want to know ahead of time if I'm going run out of outfeed space or if something is going to get unstable during the cut. If so, make it right and do another practice run!
Steve: seeing one of your recent posts, I’m a bit bummed. You don’t give yourself enough credit. Perhaps you’ve been immersed in this for awhile and can’t see the forest for the trees. You are literally one of, if not THE best CZcamsr in your category. The video quality, sound and camera angles are absolutely on point. Your confidence is comforting and your experience is super obvious. Keep on making videos man. I look forward to all of them.
Echoed - I'm doing my own floors for the first time and just sent a link to the video to my sister saying how helpful, useful, and well thought out it was. Especially the planning and doing a dry run. Thank you for your videos
All very chummy but still no guard
Another great one Steve - I dare say you've saved a few fingers with this. Thanks
Thank you for the videos! Because of you, I've taken the leap into woodworking. Appreciate the REAL candid advice. Amazing how you still remember how it feels to be a newbie and how table saws can be intimidating. I feel much more comfortable after watching your videos (over and over) :)
Love your videos !! Definitely giving me alot more confidence on using the table saw for the first time ! I've been using a circular saw for every cut which hasn't been the easiest for a first timer! Thanks again!!
Just bought a home with the wife and we wanted to fix some things and save money. Bought me a table saw bc I also wanted to try picking up a woodworking hobby during covid. I took shop in middle school so basically I dont remember anything. This video is super helpful!
Thanks ! for the refresher .... I’m an experienced table saw owner ... never hurts to go over good safety instruction and keep your ten fingers and your two eyes ..
I've watch this video a hundred times, like 20 times everytime I'm about to make a cut , you are making me feel more comfortable with it
This video came in perfect timing! I just got my first table saw this week and I’m going to be using it this weekend. I was really intimidated by it, but I feel a bit more confident after watching this video. Thanks!
Miranda Cutler what make did you go for?
Fantastic! On Monday, you'll be imagining all the things you want to make! Stay safe and happy woodworking. 😀
Remember the dry-runs! When i did it for my first cut there were several potentially disastrous things i noticed!
A habit im starting after watching stumpy nubs accident is to have my cell phone on a table so i can at least call emergency number. Not easy pulling a phone out of your pocket with two fingers while also bleeding...
@@vileguile4 i always have my phone where i could easy pick it up just in case.
Ditto Miranda! I feel so relieved to have this video
Man. Gripper by microjig. What a legend. Lol
Steve is the man. I'm a pro woodworker and all his info is right on the money. I always recommend new woodworkers to check out Steve's channel. And I have to mention that to my knowledge he is not related to either Gordon Ramsey, or Dave Ramsey...
This is exactly the kind of video series I’d love to watch more of! It’s really great to get a better guide for absolute beginners.
One change I would like to see you make for future versions of this is to slow down your presentation in the first half, and also to get a bit more detailed (or maybe more visual guides like graphical overlays) when giving terminology.
I myself am very new to this hobby and loved this video. Can’t wait to see more like it from you.
Anyone else think its funny how Steve looks like he's gotten younger over the past 10 years rather than older?
For real dude! It's crazy. Lol
definitely
No kidding!
Must have a skin product channel too lol
Healthier for sure!
Excellent video. Just got my first table saw and I’m glad I watched this before I use it.
Good job 👍 demonstrating. Bought a new one in 1985. Just a hobby then and now. The rules for safety haven't changed. Still have ALL 10 fingers and never been gut punched by flying wood.
If I were developing a video curriculum for Woodworkers this would be on the list.
I just got my first table saw. Very good timing! Greetings from Belgium. 👍
as a paramedic and a ER nurse... thank you for removing the guard on the blade... :)
Ah, the blade removal is a good job security for you. I think universal healthcare would be better job security, no?
I have NO affiliation with Steve whatsoever - but I AM a member of his “Woodshop” course and let me tell you....IT’S WORTH IT! I highly recommend you checking them out. I will certainly be a part of the others once I get my shop up and running! Thank you Steve and I mean that most sincerely!
Well thank you so much. I'm so glad you're enjoying the course! 👍
2:25 You got that saw 10 years ago? How is it even possible that I've been watching your channel for more than 10 years??
The best table saw introduction I've ever seen!
Steve. In a CZcams world that is loaded with expensive shops and complicated projects (and epoxy), thank you for keeping things simple, affordable, informative, and entertaining. I do miss those funny grr-ipper intros tho!
GOOD ADVICE STEVE FOR EVERY BODY ESPECIALLY FOR US WHO START WORKING WITH A TABLE SAW
Steve, I've been binge watching all your videos and I literally JUST bought a table saw today, perfect timing! I know you have another table saw video but this really broke it down and explained every aspect to getting started and I really appreciate it! Your videos are great and I've very excited to start working on some of my own projects!
Oh that's awesome! Stay safe and have fun. You'll be making all kinds of things really soon! 😀
"Stay safe" how about using a guard Steve
Great video, Steve! I just bought my first table saw today and this video gives me some confidence- I especially appreciate the recommendation to visualize each cut. Keep up the great work!
For me, da noob, this is gold. Thank you very much.
Literally every part of this video spoke to me from finally jumping in after watching videos to being startled by the sound. I really appreciated learning the tips about imagining your cut and watching the rip fence and board rather than the blade. I think these tips will help alleviate some of the fear I still have towards the tool !
Everything was so well explained too, coming from a beginners perspective!
"Imagine the cut you're about to make... make it a habit." I remember the first time I watched one of your videos when you mentioned this. I've followed it since, and it's now just part of my workflow: dry run before the saw goes on. In another video (maybe that same one), you said something along the lines of "if it doesn't feel safe, don't do it." I do this as well as part of that dry run. I'm more than two years into this woodworking journey and can't seem to learn enough. Thanks Steve!
Steve, have you/can you do a video about improving a table saw, miter saw, router, etc station ie building a fence, jig, slide, or whatever that makes your woodworking experience so much better?
The first thing I built with my table saw was a crosscut sled. The second thing I built was a 45-degree sled. (FWIW: I used plans from the website Family Handyman.)
Sir. You just saved my fingers. Thank you for appearing in my recommendation section. Great videos and awesome teaching techniques
thank you Steve, I learn a lot from your videos. I am new in this area and with your help I will be able to make my own workbench soon. shalom from El Paso TX
10:57 I miss the micro jig ads :( They were really funny.
I agree. Those were great. And, I bought one.
I've been think that for the last couple of videos!
I chuckled at the knowing smile on Steve's face!
I came to the comments section to say the same thing!
Steve, you've got to make the Micro Jig ads again, we love them!
14 seconds in, you have no idea how relatable that intro was haha
This was the best how to table saw cut video! Thankyou for sharing ❤
Hello Steve!
Very good movie for DIY enthusiasts! You simply explained what
as with a saw.
You also need to talk about the dangers of using saws.
Better to say ten times than regret once!
Greetings from Poland.
Paul
Okay, how did you know that I just bought my first table saw two days ago and set it up?! I have also been watching your videos over and over again for at least two years and have learned so much. I even bought your weekend class. I haven't plugged it in yet because I am a little afraid of it. I did add the guard as well as the anti kick thingy. My Gripper came yesterday but I haven't assembled it yet. Perfect timing on this video! I needed that boost of encouragement. Thanks Steve!
Janine Lew great to hear you’ve bought your first table saw. What make did you go for ?
O.G.B Woodwork It’s a Dewalt DWE7485.
Janine Lew very nice. I love dewalt tools. That’ll be extremely precise. 😁👍
@@o.g.bwoodwork I watched a lot of reviews before I made my decision. I already had a Dewalt miter saw and scroll saw and I like them as well.
Janine Lew I’ve only got an impact driver and drill made by dewalt, but i can’t wait to grow my collection.
Wow, you’ve got quite the collection. Have you made any videos with them yet?
This is exactly what I needed. I'm left handed and my uncle saw me cut wood on the table saw and he said, "WHOAH!" I learned my body placement was very dangerous.
I'm left handed as well. I don't have a table saw yet. I'm close buying one (already for years). From time to time I use an upside-down mounted circular saw
but as Steve says, it's far from ideal. I still don't know if I should try to learn to use a table saw (when I finally will have one) as a left-hander or as a right hander.
I'm 100% left handed. With my right hand I'm not able to write, open jars, use a knife or any one-hand-operated handtools such as a hammer, screw-driver, wrench
or whatsoever.
@@hansdegroot8549 Same here. I was reading that moving the fence to the other side of the blade can help. Since I share the table saw with right handed folks this really isn't an easy option. Oh well, something will work out. Have a good one
@@hansdegroot8549 Probably should learn to use it the way he uses it in the video. Unless you don't like
your balls, or thighs..
Depending on your saw, you may have the option to mount the Rip Fence on the left and use the Mitre on the right (although, from what I've seen, most saws that allow the fence on the left have less rip-width available compared to the right)... this may allow you to use your saw comfortably and safely without right-handed conventions...
@@hansdegroot8549 try moving the fence to the other side of the blade also there are some right tilt saws out there
As a young man I used to chop logs into firewood using an ancient table saw. It had a 30 inch blade and was powered by a PTO off a tractor.
Looking back, I am surprised I still have any fingers!
My Son in Law gave me his table saw and he explained to me how to use it (but I needed a refresher and I found your video and I'm so glad I did. I watched a few videos and yours is the best, you explained what side to cut and how to line it up and all the safety tips. Thank You!
Where's the micro-jig ad?! This is a perfect opportunity!
11:06
@@Asmuk Not the same, I want an OG micro-jig ad, while Steve is in mid-sentence :)
"This video is _not_ sponsored by---"
"THE GRRRRRIPPER, FROM MICRO-JIG!..." 😎
Nor is it sponsored by hospital.......NO GUARD
Thank you for this. I always wanted to do woodworking, but when I was young, girls were not allowed. As a result, i have been intimidated to learn. I built electronic circuits, to my parents dismay, but never owned the tools to do woodworking until now. My ex-boyfriend was teaching me, but he got cancer and died. Thank you for making these videos!
Good luck I hope everything works out for you!
You are the master of woodworking no doubt, I like your efforts and the teaching methods, I am not a professional woodworker but I am very fond of woodworking and want to make something, Thank you for providing me the best knowledge and video, Zafar from Quetta Pakistan
I just wanted to say thank you for this series. I just bought my first table saw, and of course I’m watching your table saw series. :)
Great video as usual! I missed one important piece of advice though: never go past the blade with your against-the-fence push stick.
Good point. Keep it pressed toward the fence in front of the blade so you aren't pushing against the blade.
You can only push whilst holding stick?? No fingers no hold......NO GUARD
Hi Steve. Why do you not use a guard.......and why do you not comment on my multiple comments regarding ' no guard
I'm not even joking, the first thing at the beginning of the video made me smile because that's literally me right now.
Steve,
You are one of the excellent but rare instructors who can teach without droning on and on but
keep your students hanging on every word. Good thing you’re thin. You’d be able to walk through my shop. 😊
After setting the fence, I always make a practice cut(s) on shorter scrap wood to make sure it's set at the correct distance from the blade. Provides absolute accuracy.
When asking how high the blade should be above the stock, ask yourself how much of your finger you want to cut off!
I find when cutting melamine, the higher the blade the less chipout that I seem to get. Though a piece of masking or painters tape usually reduces it.
the only reason for having a high blade is trying to get a cut close to 90 degrees, but in that case, you might want to use a jigsaw or bandsaw
one tooth above the cut. alot of excess blade seems to reduce accuracy. also depends of the blade and what your cutting for combo blade and real wood i find it gives less tearout and burns.
I was told that the gullet should just clear the thickness of the wood
I've often heard that you want the blade one tooth width higher than the wood. You get a smooth cut and the chips can clear the blade. However, in harder woods this can lead to burning because the teeth spend more time in the kerf. If your work is getting burn marks, try raising the blade a bit and see if you get better results.
VALUABLE BEGINNER'S LESSON. THANK YOU
Great video. Thank you! I just got my first table saw a few weeks ago. I’m excited by seeing the help it brings to my shop in making good accurate cuts but have definitely found myself having a lot of questions I hadn’t thought of before, all of which have been answered in this video. Thanks again!!
"Theres no dumb questions when taking about powertools"..... Challenge accepted :-)
😂
"Should I touch the blade will spinning to see if it is sharp?"
If I cannot get the saw to turn off, should I use it to cut its own cord❓
(That happened. Not a stuck switch, but did not see where the cord was. Good thing I had a spare cord on hand)
"Should I lick the blade while moving to clean it?"
Should I use my table saw to make exactly sized French fries, and if so, which is better for a push stick, a stalk of celery or a carrot?
I ask because slicing bologna on the miter saw had some issues.
FYI, bologna in a dust collector, well let's just say...........
Was shutting the saw off with your knee part of the tutorial? It was very vague. I need every detail on this tool. 😉
It really depends, I'm shorter so sometimes I kick my foot up there for shut-off.
@@tessabuesgens5831 okay so anything other than your hands sounds like it should work
Being able to turn off the saw without removing your hands from the workpiece is a great advantage. Should the saw start bogging down or the piece behaves oddly, you can quickly turn off the saw with your leg or knee and hopefully avoid an accident. Having to move your hands to turn off the saw can be dangerous and result in an accident
@@KellyConcepts I'd tell you what I use to turn mine off but it wouldn't be very appropriate lol
@@MC-zr7hl Hahahaha I think I see where you're going with this
I value your videos so much, Steve. I truly do. Thank you for continuing to make them. I always look forward to them.
just got my first table saw. this was super helpful.
Am I the only one that misses the gripper "commercial"
I miss them too. I imagine there are a lot of us that do.
Gotta be honest: when you held it up and it didn't cut to the Micro-Jig ad, my brain kinda broke. Great video!
I appreciate this. I’m a complete noob. Just looking to do minor repairs.
Thanks for the lesson! I will help me with my new saw and upcoming projects.
Never, never use a table saw without a riving knife-I had a small lapse in judgement and bingo kickback. Believe me it hurts- *_really_* hurts.
I thought he did have a riving knife.
You’re lucky to be able to write that warning. There’s nasty videos of that
@@DennisMathias The op in the video did, I think "GMOOH" is just telling everyone who watches this video/reads his comment.
Most of us have been there! I keep the block of wood (grenade) that was supposed to be "just one quick cut" near my saw as a reminder. My ribs thank me.
Get Me Out of Here why do some people take it off in the first place? Is their a certain cut that requires you take it off? But damn that sounds terrifying. The power they have took me a while to get used to. I can’t imagine that throwing something at you.
I get all heeby jeeby when I watch John Heisz's videos, he always just uses his fingers along his fence and as much experience as he has, I still just see him losing a couple of those fingers one day
....thank YOU sooooo much for YOUR sooo professional Vido !!! I' m not a Profi , so I learn sooo much !!! Kinde regards from Switzerland !!!

Never assume your table saw blade and slots and fence will be square “out of the box” check and adjust as needed first thing.
Yeah, just got a used one... can't get it to cut straight... no idea what to do...
Square the blade to the mitre slots?
Just ordered my first tablesaw. I am having anxiety now.
@George Glass Being a weeb is good, better than being an ass.
@George Glass Still marginally better than any lifeless loser tries to provoke random stranger.
Now now gents. Less of weeb talk.....how about. Chatting reference no guard
Great video Steve. Thanks for your Weekend Woodworker series. It is fantastic!
50yrs old single and decided I want to make a gazebo! Designed it myself, have all my measurements all my wood bought a used table saw and now thanks to you I'm going to go make my first cut! I will be power watching all your video's starting tonight! Thanks
Just got a free Delta table saw yesterday. Thanks for the instructional video.
So I was just given one from my grandfather and it's almost as old as him. I love the fact that I'm missing most the safety stuff lol
