I bought this as a gift for my friend czcams.com/users/postUgkxcZqgZ8Ynkiz5n_LxIWRlAicuzmz5kCHG who is just starting out in the world of wood work. He loves it!! There is a great section on different wood and what to use for what kind of job and a similar section for tools as well. The projects in it are things you probably would have a go at with clear instructions, pictures, videos and diagrams throughout. Great for a beginner/amateur wood worker.
Guys, these tips are invaluable! Especially when they eliminate measuring…such a headache. Please continue this series. Love it!
Okay, I have a request - could you go around your wall and show: A) All of your tools, B) Tell us what they are called C) What the tools can do.
It would be awesome if there was a full video just about tools.
This would really help me out as English isn’t my first language, so basically while I can speak it freely, I do not know specialised language about woodworking yet - like what tools are made, or what they are intended to do, what kind of motions they have, what they can possibly do or be used for, if one tool can do other things other than say “this is a drill and it drills holes” lol
It would be awesome if you could go with all the tools in one video and brief description, and then maybe do a series of videos or shorts on what the tools can do in more depth? I’m pretty sure a good description of a tool’s capabilities can be fitter into a 30-60 seconds short. I’d love it. I’d really appreciate it. Have a think about it.
Before anyone goes - “why don’t you just google it?’, it’s often the problem - because I don’t know what to google. Like in my head - there’s an abundance of ideas, but there can be more or better and bigger ideas if my brand would know all of the capabilities of tools or what other people use a certain tool for even if it wasn’t made for that purpose. And as the saying goes - you don’t know what you don’t know, so it’s hard to google what you don’t know, when I try to google so,etching that I don’t know if it exists or what it’s called and I try to describe it to google, often in different languages - I usually 90% of the time end up sifting through pages of bs. And still don’t find what I was looking for. Most often I find what I was looking for from watching other people woodworking/ engineering videos 😅😂
Man, these are really useful. I’m always overthinking this kind of thing. Will definitely use the first tip to get the right depth on my half laps. I’d love to see more of these tips.
I always think that math and measuring will help me, but it’s often a clever way of approaching the problem that makes everything easier and better
I'm overthinking to and this make a lot of things so much easier. Logical thinking
The tip for using tape as a micro adjustment: So brilliantly simple I can't believe I didn't think of it.
I think this is a very helpful series. Would love to see it continue.
😊😊😊👍
Please continue with this series. My only concern is remembering all of them in the shop! They are very, very useful.
Yeah! A helpful info graphic tip sheet would be great! (With little cartoon versions of Chris and Sean!)
I'll second that.
Fourth here 👍
I love this idea for an ongoing series! Keep them coming. I especially like that you take input from your viewers.
Just commenting to add my own vote to please continue this series. There are a lot of tips/tricks videos but the ones selected here hit that nice balance of extremely useful but not overly obvious.
😊👍👍
Thanks, I'm a hobbyist woodworker and getting my first FTG blade for dados--about a year ago--was a life-saver (no more chiseling out grooves from ATB blades).
My builder is building me a house and I'm going to be doing a lot of the interior finishing. I have lots of oak boards and will be using these tips on a variety of projects. Please keep them coming. And, thank you both!!
Thank you! I am a new woodworker and can use all the help I can get. Love your channel, love your style, can't wait to get in the shop and use this to create the tables I wake up seeing in my head.
Honestly, insanely useful stuff. ALL stuff I have NEEDED on projects and literally ALL stuff I'm going to be using on upcoming projects. Thanks guys, looking forward to more of these!!
Very well explained and without any ANNOYING music. Keep up the great work.
👊
Brilliant simplicity. Several problems I had been plagued with, particularly the router dado and cutting the dado with the table saw. Thanks, I subscribed.
I love it. I love the amount of content in a short space of time. Don't get me wrong, I like long videos as well, but if I am about to try something new, I don't always want to sort through a 30 minute video to find the trick I needed!
"The tape as a micro adjustement" - a tip that is worth it's weight in gold!
I love the router tip at around 7:15 or so. Adding the tape to move the router over just a hair to get the dado just a fraction larger for the board to fit into the slot is a great idea! Thanks for the other tips too! Great stuff!
This series is super helpful. I'm just getting started and it's nice to have some quick, easy to remember tips that have huge impact. Between this and your "Taking Math out of Woodworking" I'm feeling much more capable
I am new to woodworking in any serious sense. I find these simple (in the very best sense of the word) tips are so useful. Thank you for taking the time to share them 🙂
Please let this not be the last episode tip and tricks. It was extremely helpful
Smart viewers! These are great tips. I'll double down on endorsing the painters tape for micro-adjustments. Sneaking up on cuts was the biggest revolution for my projects when I learned the value of it.
👍👍👍
Loved the tape as micro adjustment tip, and all were very helpful.
Great tips well presented. No fluff - quick and concise while still being nicely explained. More videos, please. 👍
As a beginner, I need and appreciate EVERY tip I can find.
Please continue!
Whittier! I grew up there! Makes me all warm and fuzzy thinking about my hometown. Glad to see you guys adding to its history and commerce. I also liked the tips. I’m thinking about getting back into woodworking.
Yes please, more!
There are lots of tips out there but you guys shooting and explaining them nicely is a bonus!
You guys are such an inspiration, I admire your work and follow it. Thanks for sharing. It’s because of guys like you I felt motivated to start on woodworking. Last year after COVID19 put us on isolation. Again thanks !
Cutting exact width dados just keeps getting easier. Great tip! One thing I do when I need a slightly looser fit is to add a playing card to the piece needed when you make that first cut.
New to wood working. I cannot tell you how helpful and inspiring your videos are. Thank you for this.
Really like the last tip with the dado. I’ve seen a piece of wood that fits in a blade kerf rather than a drill bit. This compensates for blade run-out.
Love this! Always find it so fascinating to be able to measure something without proper measurement tools!
Thanks for the tips. I've used the tape technique and it works well. I especially like half lap--perfect and simple.
I remember your guys other video doing a cabinet built in job. I'm a carpenter that works with one other carpenter it works good to build each others skills and challenge each other to constantly improve our work.
That tape micro adjustment is a surefire winner. Thanks for posting. 👍
Love the tip on better lap joints by using the tablesaw itself ! simple but so effective
Love the tips. Please make a series and playlist.
My passion is to make beautiful pieces and I’m not there yet. You’re one of those channels I consider at the top of the heap in that category so your tips are much appreciated. Thank you!
Oh, yes. These are simple and very smart tips -- lots of "why didn't I think of that!" in these, but - as you said - they're applicable for lots of cutting tools. They also appear to be really quick and fool-resistant. Thanks!
Since I have been at this since 1976 all of the tips were solid. One point is that the drill bit idea could present issues. Just keep a few shims handy of the appropriate thickness. Nice work, I enjoy your shows.
I’m halfway through and all of these have been useful to me so far. Keep these videos coming.
Please keep this going. I just finished cutting a couple of half laps and missed the depth and had to sand a bunch to make it look right. The half lap top made so much sense.
😊😊👍
The last? NEVER. We want more!!!
Tips: yes please!
Keep them coming. I will be using the crosslap tuning tip very soon.
Thank for this, I needed the tape as a micro adjustment for this weekend!
That dado drillbit was genius. You guys are awesome. Thanks for this video
The comments about the use of tape and the drill bit for offsets were very useful. Why didn’t I think of that !
Miter gauge that came with my table saw was loose in the slot. Wrapped it with a piece of painter’s tape and if fit perfectly with no wiggle. Great tip!
Great tips. Will use the dado width tip later today for a flip top bench cart build.
Love the blue tape fine adjustment. Will be using that one thanks friends
Very useful--please continue. These two guys are in my very short list of woodworking channels I watch regularly. Entertaining, and great at what they do....and this is coming from a largely hand-tool woodworker.
Yep, happy with this tips and tricks...nice to see/learn from other folks' experience and thought processes!
Great ideas! I especially like the half-lap hack and the drill bit/dado hack. Thanks!
I just discovered your channel and after watching this video, subscribed. I'm not a precision woodworker and I don't have fancy tools, so tips to work around those limitations interest me. I must say also that you guys are not only extremely talented wood workers, but also extremely talented and innovative videographers! Your use of graphics to explain your work is exceptional. Keep up the good work. Y'all are amazing!!
Skip the table saw and buy a chisel.
Wow guys! Thank you so much! These tips are really practical and clever. I have struggled thru each of these challenges so many times.
GREAT idea. Clear, to the point. Pure protein knowledge. Thank you!
That last tip is exactly what I need for my next project. Thanks guys.
Love these tips, makes my woodworking easier. Keep it up guys, really appreciated, when I get further into my fun, I'll be watching you whenever there's a new one!
Thanks for these great tips! Here's a product idea: shim tape. Tape that comes in precise thicknesses, like 0.010" etc. Doesn't have to be a huge roll, but it would really help in sneaking up to the precise width of a dado.
Thanks for gracing us with your tips
The tape idea is amazing, thank you...
Thanks for sharing, I don't think I had seen any of these tips before. I especially appreciate your tip about the drill bit for the tenons!
The tape trick for dados is awesome!
Awesome, guys! Some of these I knew or kind of knew but it’s great to have these concise lists for when you think of it and you want to refer back to the video but you can’t think which project it was associated with. Definitely hope this is just the first of an Ongoing series. 👍🏻
Don’t stop. These are great. Especially for us noobs who were just learning.
Tape method tip for cutting tapers was spot on! Keep the tips coming. Good stuff!
Please continue this series.
I don’t usually like tips videos because I know em, but this one had to I will definitely implement. Thank you !
Really enjoyed this video, great tips that can be used in regular basis, quick, precise.
So simple yet so smart! Thank you!
The both of you have such a interesting sense of humor. Over the years I always find my self laughing in the mist of learning something new on the regular. Props on the channel guys
Not just good tips, but good presentation too. Not over the top, without the usual narcissism. Well done gentlemen.
I love these guys for making a fun way to do tips in woodworking Thank you all. I look for more tips and tricks from you guys in the future!
Gentlemen, the information/content was amazing. Please continue providing this valuable and educational information. Thank you.
You guys are a great mix of corny, and insightful. Thank you, I picked up a LOT of good info!!
Man, that first tip was great I'm a newbie woodie and you spoke directly to me lol. Thanks again and would love to see more of these.
Thank you for sharing the tips with us that are newer
This is great! I‘d love this to be a series.
My son also loves listening to you explaining this stuff. He is for months old
Sure he does ..”four”
I like the short vids. Clear, concise and usable.
Great tips! Thank you :D
Hiii friend
👍👍
Guys, thanks for sharing! Liked the drill bit tip!
I always enjoy the tips and tricks series videos that the different people who I follow on CZcams post once in a while so I’d love it you guys continued on with yours.
My favorite thing about woodworking magazines is the collection of tips they do. I'm ALWAYS interested in learning how other people have solved or simplified the infinite tasks of woodworking / making.
Phillips half lap tip is very handy. Then again all the tips are awesome.
This is some advanced technique. No sloppy work here.
I love the tape trick. Going to remember this (hopefully)!
Love the half lap method
Great tips and a tour de force on the many applications of the humble shim. It's a good example of how certain basic engineering principles propagate throughout engineering disciplines. Almost like 'axioms'
Just one of things I love about woodworking.
Thx for sharing.
This is awesome. I am a pretty seasoned woodworker and didn’t know these. Great job guys. Keep this “Tips” concept going!
Great tips, especially for a beginner like myself! Thanks!
Very, very good tips here ! I am not into woodworking yet but I plan to build furnitures for my future home currently in construction, and such details always "fear" me because I think that perfect details are what make any piece of work look professional. I am looking forward to test those tricks in a near future !
The blue tape tip is really cool, I can think of several ways to this could be used. It might also come in useful at times to do things the other way an make the first pass with the tape and the second without.
I've only recently started using blue tape as the big DIY stores in the UK often don't stock it but having started using it I now use it all the time as it is far better than our masking tape.
Good advice on the dado cutting.
Going to try that method. Way better than cutting to lines. 👍
I learned a couple of things, and that's what life is all about. Nice job!
Big fan of these. You can also use tape to make dados smaller, if you get a too-loose fit with an exact-width router jig. Set up the jig then put a length of tape against one reference face. Turns a slip fit into a piston fit.
The tips are great, keep doing them. I like that you're crowd sourcing these too
That was a lovely set of tips! Very comforting and informative. Cheers,Rob
I install automated players on pianos. The blue tape trick I had used often with router.
Great tips and show.
Nice work. Using the workpiece and drill bit as a dado jig...great idea.
