- Half laps joints can be used for all sorts of joinery tasks and mastering them can open the doors to some more creative joinery options as well. This is just one of many ways to cut half lap joints on the table saw, but it's a good one.
HERE'S AN EASY WAY TO MAKE THE SHIM:

(Please keep in mind that I do not own and have not used the less expensive blades. But these are Flat Tooth Grind ripping blades and at a much lower cost. It's good to have options!)

HEY! If anyone needs a quick and easy way to make the blade-width shim, here's a quick and easy way that's ACCURATE! czcams.com/video/nsw5qlrdx2A/video.html
Wow that blade height trick is just what I needed thanks !!!!
This is a great video.
I’m a novice woodworker and I decided to try this technique on a “hidden” frame for a project I’m doing. Great opportunity to try your method because any mistakes won’t be seen. But it turned out way better than I expected
Awesome how he gets straight to the point. No time wasted, precise clear instructions then done. In and out in few minutes
I've been watching videos to improve my woodworking for 3 years now, how come i'm just now finding your videos? All of them are amazing. Thank you.
Thanks for adding the less expensive alternative blade!
Thanks for watching and acknowledging that. I'm glad someone noticed!
A nice, elegant use of direct measurement to size the pieces correctly. Use of the shim is a plus and the step I've been missing. I gotta make me one of those!

Absolutely love that quote. I need that on my wall in the shop!
I just wanted to tell you I used this method today for the first time and it worked perfectly.
I always appreciate your videos of expected cleverness, but never as much as when I’m working on a project which involves one of your topics. It’s then that the relevance and usefulness of your information shines. I can’t wait for morning to start on my half-laps. 😁
This is by far a very cool technique; I think I have watched this video several times which mean I plan on using it- thanks

NASA could use Jodee so there are no metric vs. imperial confusions ;-)
Amateur woodcrafter. I used this technique tonight in some half laps I'm using for cabinet doors. Worked INCREDIBLY easy. Definitely recommend using a flat tooth blade as I had some extra sanding to do with the blade I used.
Thanks for the great content. Earned a sub, for sure!
Great video!
Always breaking it down and giving great, and useful, information!!
Thanks
Another great video! You could probably save a little time by drawing an 'X' from opposing corners on the end to find the center. I would just use the shim as a straight edge to draw the lines and that should get me dead on center or really close.
You make things so easy and it only motivates me to learn more about wood working. Great video! Thanks.
amazes me how much more acheivable a tight half lap is from watching this video. looking forward to scrolling through your other videos! Thanks mate!
Cool! I really like half-laps, but have struggled to get them accurate. I've always thought that there should be an easier way, and you just provided it. Thanks! I also like that special saw blade. I have not seen those and will have to look for one.
Awesome dude. Your vids are quickly becoming my "bag of tricks" go-to.
Well done video! You sir are a good instructor. Thanks for posting.
Always learn great tips from you Jody, thanks!
Thanks a mil bro - this was the best explained and shown method. Wasted the last hour until I found this!
Tried this today and it worked perfectly the first time!! Thanks for this.
Excellent, and with paired to the video on making the perfect shim it is unbeatable!
Perfectly explained. Thanks for sharing. I'm going to try this.
This was very simple and helpful. As a new woodworker, I appreciate the tip.
Excellent demonstration and presentation. I learned a lot from you today. Please keep these wonderful, helpful videos coming! Thank you ever so much for your time and efforts.
hi...I made a watching your video. Thank you for being an inspiration to me.
I have now watched three (3) of your instructional videos and very impressed with your presentation and content.
Thank you man it's the easy way to do it bravo. 🎩 ghany from Algeria.
Nicely done, and so much simple than a Kerf maker!
Thanks, your a great teacher. You might include in a future video lesson that," The reason you need the shim is because your saw is calibrated to the Right side of the blade". I look forward to getting notifications of your new lessons.
Terrific idea! Wish I’d seen this and the 1/2 lap vid two walks ago. Would have saved me lots of head scratching and scrap making. Many thanks!
You are a great teacher. Thank you.
That is a great way to do half laps! I like it because I use a lot of reclaimed wood and the pieces are never the same width. I always flatten a reference side any way so thickness is never the issue.
Superb! I'm an old shopfitter who has been pottering around in my ever developing garage workshop. This is an absolute gem of a tip. Easy to execute and virtually free. I went ahead, a while back and bought the Banggood kerf-doofer when it was on sale at £15 Sterling. Well, it absolutely works, and I cannot complain with the quality of the accessory which is excellent - especially for the price!
However, your tip makes half laps, dados and grooves a breeze on the table saw.
Thank you for sharing! You have a new subscriber! 👍
More brilliance! I think the most challenging part of woodworking is getting the measurements correct...problem solved. After only two clips I'm ready to put you in the top ten woodworking channels on YT. Thanks for sharing!
Very good instruction; short and to-the-point. Thank you.
Yup. Figured that out a couple of years ago. The blade-thick spacer is the key. Works like a charm. Good video. Thanks.
Yet another clear and helpful video. I really like your approach
Your the man Jody! Thanks for the great tips!
Great tips and tricks, love it!
So many great tips, thanks man
Absolutely BRILLIANT !!
Great tip, thank you
Well done. Will look forward to the right project to try half laps.
Thanks Jodee ... Once again a fantastic video!! I always learn something new with every video you make. Your time and effort is truly appreciated. Cheers Mate!
Smooth operator
Clear and to the point that’s why I subscribed to your channel
Thank you for the videos. As always super helpful
Thank you so very much, you finally made it so easy 👌
thank you Jodee. That is an absolutely fantastic tip.
This is perfect! I'll be using this method with my dado stack to create my half laps instead of a router and having to build some complicated jig.
Very well presented. This is a GREAT - NO MEASURE technique. Will get that shim made and make some half laps! !! !!!
Great tip. Thank you.
That was great. I’m always grateful for what you share.
I love the simplicity
Brilliant! Thank you
Nice job. Great that you showed using a single blade. I have dado stacks but like the flat grind single blade method and the use of spacers to ensure a quick fit without all the nudging etc. With all the blades I have it's time to add a couple more 24tooth flat top grind blades. Will use the link you provided which is much appreciated.
This is so good. For those trying it be aware not too push to hard against the shim/fence with your piece. My first fits were so tight I could barely get them together but I stopped trying to be the Hulk for a second and they ended up fitting perfect. Hope that may help someone.
Great video. I liked how you found center. I use a radial arm saw but the principal is the same.
I'll have to remember to use the correct blade. I have both flat tooth and tilted teeth on some blades.
Thanks, Barry
Man, I’m literally inspired by all your videos!!!
Great job explaining everything thank you
Another great tip. Very useful. Thanks!

Very useful, thanks
Game changer for me thanks a bunch
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much, I enjoyed your video, woodworking is my hobby and this is very useful. 👍👍👍
Flat bottom blades make the woodworking world go round
Thanks Jodie....excellent !
Thanks i watched this video this morning, Went out to shed and tried it out both on sled and miter gauge was very surprised at how neat they both came out definitely a worthy way of doing things wont be using the ruler now lol
That's Awesome! Thanks for coming back and commenting on how it went!
Really nice technique, thanks
That was particularly useful. I only need to make sure I can get that shim cut to exactly one blade width. Thanks again.
Thanks! Hey I just uploaded a video on how to cut the shim if you are interested. Super easy and no measuring. czcams.com/video/nsw5qlrdx2A/video.html
as always pleasure to watch your vids
Nice man very precise cuts
Thank you
This is really good stuff! Thanks!
Nice video man. Thanks!
That’s amazing brotha! Dude you’re coming thru with some great tips. Thanks man!
Thank You Sir!!! Great info!!! Much appreciated!!! 👍😎📏
Awesome thanks!
Ingenious out of the box thinking tip for how to make a kerf-width shim that is simpler than using a kerf-maker device in some scenarios. Having to smooth the bottom of a dado or half-lap with a chisel is wrought with potential error, so I invested in a Freud true flat tooth blade that increases the joint accuracy and time it takes to make a given joint; no bottom cleanup! For some rabbits or dadoes, although $$$, love using my Lie-Nielsen router plane. Caveat to that is when using plywood as a router plane can catch and pull up/splinter the layers (probably not as much an issue if using good quality ply vs the medium big box store stuff I more readily have at my disposal). Thanks you for video tips and instruction.
very good video, I ALWAYS HAD TROUBLE WITH THEM . THANKS,lloyd
This video was very helpful. Thank you 👍😎🇦🇺
