- 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
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.
Smooth operator
Game changer for me thanks a bunch
I like this technique a lot.
So many great tips, thanks man
Thanks for adding the less expensive alternative blade!
Thanks for watching and acknowledging that. I'm glad someone noticed!
That's it Mr. I have been seeing people showing up all kinds of stuffs of dado for what....just show up to people they are pro!! Yes for pro.
I just wanted to tell you I used this method today for the first time and it worked perfectly.
You do have to spend some time setting the saw up... blade, fence, etc. But once done, the saw is great. Fairly compact which is Nice czcams.com/users/postUgkxXh-4_3-ZT1fFWP91ZV7iVqzElr0lEb-a I did get an Incra Miter Gauge which takes some setup as well. The stock miter gauge can be adjusted in the miter slot with a little painter's tape... this tightens up the side to side play a lot.
Awesome tips, thanks for sharing.
Thank you!! love your videos!
This video just got you a subscriber
You have great videos
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
hi...I made a watching your video. Thank you for being an inspiration to me.
Awesome video. Thanks for posting
Thanks a mil bro - this was the best explained and shown method. Wasted the last hour until I found this!
Nice video man. Thanks!
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!
Flat bottom blades make the woodworking world go round
You are a great teacher. Thank you.
Awesome dude. Your vids are quickly becoming my "bag of tricks" go-to.
Man, I’m literally inspired by all your videos!!!
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!
Brilliant! Thank you
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.
Thank you!
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. 😁
very interesting...thank you!!
Nice job!
Very useful, thanks
- V E R Y good technique. Thanx 4 sharing.
Nicely done, and so much simple than a Kerf maker!
Best how to channel
best best best video, script, and approach on this topic
Very good instruction; short and to-the-point. Thank you.
You are incredibly talented AND have a knack of sharing that knowledge with no-nonsense, to-the-point concise videos. Truly INSPIRATIONAL. Keep up the good work - love to watch and learn.
I love the simplicity
Great video!
Always breaking it down and giving great, and useful, information!!
Thanks
Beautiful
This was very simple and helpful. As a new woodworker, I appreciate the tip.
As always, good and practical tips!!!!
Always learn great tips from you Jody, thanks!
Another great tip. Very useful. Thanks!
Your the man Jody! Thanks for the great tips!
Thank you man it's the easy way to do it bravo. 🎩 ghany from Algeria.
thank you Jodee. That is an absolutely fantastic tip.
Great tip. Thank you.
Great tips and tricks, love it!
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.
Thank you for the videos. As always super helpful
I’m 52 yrs old. Never worked with wood. Bought a lot of Festool but using my small Dewalt table saw scares the shit out of me because of kickback….. I bought many jigs to safely use it but I’m still scared… I need to do cross lap joints in the middle of a workpiece….. Can I still do it with a sliding miter saw or with a router… ?
A lot of woodworking seems to be done with a table saw…… I’d like your opinion. By the way I am subscribed to your channel and I think your way of talking and explaining is exceptional. You are a very good teacher for old Newbie’s like me…..
Excellent, as always.
That was great. I’m always grateful for what you share.
Very well presented. This is a GREAT - NO MEASURE technique. Will get that shim made and make some half laps! !! !!!
Clear and to the point that’s why I subscribed to your channel
Awesome video, thank you for sharing!
I have now watched three (3) of your instructional videos and very impressed with your presentation and content.
Excellent, and with paired to the video on making the perfect shim it is unbeatable!
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.
great video
Perfectly explained. Thanks for sharing. I'm going to try this.
Really nice technique, thanks
Absolutely BRILLIANT !!
Great job explaining everything thank you
Genius!
Thank you so very much, you finally made it so easy 👌
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!
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! 👍
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!
Well done video! You sir are a good instructor. Thanks for posting.
as always pleasure to watch your vids
Well done. Will look forward to the right project to try half laps.
This is really good stuff! Thanks!
This video was very helpful. Thank you 👍😎🇦🇺
Thanks for sharing
Your so right in my opinion i been using routers from 1974 and the round base are best and i use the flat side maybe 2% of the time its only for odd ball case's plus I do have a nice router table but good job and good teacher
Thank You Sir!!! Great info!!! Much appreciated!!! 👍😎📏
You make things so easy and it only motivates me to learn more about wood working. Great video! Thanks.
Yet another clear and helpful video. I really like your approach
Thanks Jodie....excellent !
Nice man very precise cuts
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!
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.
Great and useful tip using shim...
Awesome thanks!
I just finished making and adjusting my crosscut sled. In order to adjust the fence, I bought some cheap feeler gauges. I was about to make this shim when I realized I could just stack some feeler gauges until they fit snugly in a slot cut by my blade and use those as my shim.
Great tip, thanks for sharing.
- It WORKED VERY well. Helpful video. Thanx 4 sharing.
Yup. Figured that out a couple of years ago. The blade-thick spacer is the key. Works like a charm. Good video. Thanks.
Very very good instructions!!! Thank you! Appreciate it! Learned a very valuable technique.
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.
I knew there had to be a way to do this. Thanks.
Great stuff! Subscribed!
Good video. Thanks for sharing
Wowsers that is Very helpful video thank you so much. That turned out very smooth look on that half lap. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend keep making greatness.
