Great content. How long have you been doing woodworking?
20:30 I saw something like these blocks but you can take a 2+/- foot piece of quality aluminum 1/4" flat stock. 7000 series works well since it is harder than most other types. Cut this into 4" - 6" shorts, drill a through hole in one end of all your pieces. For that extra fancy 1/8" step just add a single 1/8" piece on the top of the stack. Then label that side starting from the "bottom" and go up by 1/4" increments. Flip THE WHOLE THING OVER & label from the 1/8" side from the bottom up as well. As long as your fasteners are flush to the face you're good to go. I like to countersink the 1/8" side and tap the 1/4" end to receive a machine screw. These work the same as a gaping tool for spark plugs. Whatever size you need you can just use 1, 2, or as many plates as u need for your depth of cut in 1/8" increments & label them so you can see the measurement from the top of both sides.

Love the channel. Where are the links to the pole saws your promised?
Just found your tips videos by accident. I used to do a lot of maintenence, a bit of woodworking and a huge amount of improvised repairs. Unfortunately I had a stroke which messed my memory up and I forgot quite a lot of things. It was like going from pro to novice overnight and I quit for a few years in frustration.
I eventually decided to start learning again and a big thank you to you as your tips have been really helpful to me in getting back into it. i've written a lot of them down along with the title of of your video they're on. Thank you👍
MUY buena calidad, el texto imagenes. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO Un manuel muy completo y trabajado. Resulta muy práctico. Para principiantes y profesionales. Lo recomiendo
Wow... don’t think I’ve ever commented on TH-cam before but you’ve got to be one of the best teachers I’ve ever come across. Content was great, the way you talk through a tip and then show it, and all while being entertaining. Prop’s!
I wish you posted like every day. most honest, simple, and funny pro woodworker.
Regarding the spacer blocks, when setting up the plunge router, instead I’ve used my drill bits. If I want a quarter inch depth set on my plunge router, I would place a quarter inch drill bit, setting the depth using the diameter of my drill bit. Great advice!
Wow! Excellent idea!
Nice! Great trick dude! 😎👍
This works if you have quality drill bits, however a lot of drill bits are slightly tapered and undersized. Best to check with a caliper before using them for this purpose.
@@James_T_Kirk_1701 Mate you must have cheap drill bits, and or don't tighten your chuck properly 😁
@@kezzatries cool story, but I’ve checked them with calipers and it’s quite prevalent, even a couple major brands have low quality drill bits. How the hell would not tightening my chuck properly effect the drill bit?
I have watched HUNDREDS of woodworking videos on TH-cam. I learned something from each of them. But, BY FAR, I learned more usable information per minute of watching with this one. More. I want more. Oh, and it was entertaining too. Double oh, and it was free too.
I’ve been woodworking for 17 years and still learnt a bunch from that. You did a great job of being educational while still being entertaining. Thank you for your great content. I will be watching more of these as you publish them.
I’ve been working in carpentry for over 15 years and I’ve just learned so much that I wish someone had shared with me a long time ago. Cheers mate! Keep up the great work.
I appreciate that when you go into the details of "why", your explanations are so clear. Many other woodworkers just add more confusion when talking about the "why". Thank you! Subscribe!
This is "why" I subscribed!
Jason, thanks for sharing the tips. I 'm 54 years old, started my workshop just a few years ago and self teaching along the way. I have learned so much from TH-cam. I just found your channel this week and have already learned a lot from you as well. It's a journey for sure and I just wish I knew at a younger age just how much enjoyment I could get from building and restoring projects. Please keep the entertaining videos coming, and can't wait to see the finished boat project.
This is such a great series. I am 70 and my dad had crossed back in 2004. Dad was a Master Machinist and often needed to make tools to get jobs done. He taught kids... girls send boys the same. Your tips and tricks are showing some things me things that I either forgot, and I didn't learn. Great Job.
This is my first time here. Thanks.
50yrs of woodworking and I still learned something. Really like the humor and sound effects!
I speak for all of us when I say “More Please”. :) Great Video!!
I am retired but you taught me something! I knew that the same angle on two boards will produce a perfect joint but the ,"A-B" marking saves a lot of time ! Thanks! On the dowels for setting a routers depth ,I use drill bits. You can get an unlimited number of very accurate depths!
your explanation of router speeds just blew my mind, glad i found your page last night at 0100 and stayed up till 0730 watching, you have revitalized my love of wood working
Humour whilst learning, best combination.....thank you.
Thank you for this video. My husband took wood shop back in high school (in the early 70s) and I never took it but we have decided to start working towards a small woodworking so that when he retires we will have an established business by then. Again THANK YOU, you are making this learning process fun and exciting for me.
I usually don't leave comments on videos because I watch TH-cam on my TV.. But today I thought you infotained me so well that you deserve a 👍👍👏👏👏.. Thanks for the useful tips and tricks I'm just getting into woodwork for fun and as a hobby.. All I want to say is I appreciate you brother.. Thanks🙏
I'm pretty much a lifetime subscriber. Your talent of explaining, showing, humor, and weird running into the scene has me hooked. I'm a total noobie learning a lot. Thanks Jason!
I have a crazy idea, what about a video on wood. Specifically the different varieties, how and why you pick certain dimensions, specialty wood, box store vs lumber yard, pricing, and maybe any techniques on transporting wood alone.
I'm hoping to start getting into woodworking as a hobby once I build a shed this spring
Very creative
I’ve seen that pull saw trick before on another TH-cam channel that I genuinely don’t remember. It’s impressive that you thought of that on your own. It’s one of the reasons I’ve been watching your channel exclusively after watching about half a dozen other woodworking channels. Great content!
Thank you for clean language, its flipping awesome!
WOW! been working with wood for years and the first 4.33 mins of this vid opened my eyes, never too late to learn something, will keep watching, thank you soooooooooo much
I have worked with wood for many years. Retired now at 68 I just finished my building in my back yard just for wood working. It is 10x24 with a 14 ft cathedral ceiling. It is going to be a fun place to work. I constructed bridges for 34 years and most of my wood working skills are in heavy construction. Although, I did have a state of the art shop at my place of work. I had a vacuum system that will pull your shirt into it if you got too close. It even had an auto shake down system build in to vibrate the dust to the bottom to the huge dust and saw chip container. At times when I was not busy with the bridges, I would be ask to make furniture or doors, bookcases, chair rail whatever they had a hankering to ask for. I loved it. Now that I miss having all of the shop, I decided to build one of my own. One thing for sure, you never stop learning how to build things and never stop learning new tricks. Thanks for you part in the TH-cam family. I will keep watching. Oh by the way, I am a damn good cook too. Wood working, Harley-Davidson riding Chef Jerry
For the pull saw I typically start my cut with a push just like with a western style saw you can give a couple pulls before you start the cut. Also scoring the cut line on atleast 2 surfaces helps the cut track straight you can also start the cut with the teeth flat on the board all the way down the line instead of up on the corner so it doesn't bite or dig is much and then slowly stand the saw up at the normal cutting angle
Lol. I'm glad someone said this. Although I think modified tools can be great and that what he did makes sense
I do what you do and have no problem
very solid and old school method. With western saws this process is even easier as the blade is thicker, so it deforms less when you move it in the reverse direction. in both cases the teeth are still cutting, but a great deal less.
Another option especially if your cutting into end grain like with dovetails or tenons you can take a chisel and cut a small groove in the waste side of the material. If you use a marking knife or marking gauge to make your marks instead of a pen this is even easier. the small groove automatically orients your saw along the cut, and you get a straight cut every time with no tear.
browse a few videos on hand cutting dovetails and you'll come across the process allot.
49 and starting with woodwork to get out the office. Watching this I've got so much to learn but this was awesome thanks.
I'm one of those guys who picked up "woodworking" later in life (I put that in quotes... because I don't think my feeble attempts are yet good enough to be called woodworking... but I digress). My dad knew his way around the workshop, but, sadly, I didn't pay attention. Nor was I smart enough to have taken a wood shop class when I could have in junior high or high school. Feel like an idiot for missing those opportunities. As a result, I'm mostly self-taught through watching youtube videos and old episodes of the New Yankee Workshop (my dad loved the show, and now I understand why... though there's no way in hell I can ever afford half of the tools that man has).
Finding this episode and your channel has been a godsend... Thanks for making this video, you're awesome.
same here man haha
I’m glad I paid attention atleast the trades parts not the life lesson parts 😂
same for me.
I've been a woodworker for 50 years and I always learn something new bourbonmoth plus he has a great sense of humor.
Used a router the first time last weekend, and out of the 30 odd vids i saw on how to use and set one up, NO one explained the plunge setup like this, coulda saved me an hour trying to figure that had i saw this. thank you! maybe a a full how to on routers is not a bad idea.
My father purposefully set his jounter fence out of square when makeing tops...said it provides more surface area for glue ups.
Plus it makes sure that you do it the right way
It spreads the glue surface area across multiple grain structures, thus spreading the load into more of the grain and makes a stronger joint.
Casey - making
jounter?
. . . when you set the fence 20° off-square (which is pretty remarkable) then you get 6% more surface area (which is absolutely neglectable) . . .
You can use drill bits for your setup blocks also.
Cheap and reliable. I do the same.
Came here to say this. 👍
good idea, never thought of that
And you get more choices than you can possibly ever need.
And if going for .25 or .50 the router bits themselves...
I was also thinking the shank common screws. They are usually just barely under the nominal size which would allow yo to test the cut and sneak up on perfect.
I was surprised by the cost of the set he mentioned though. You can get a gage block set for less than $100US (low accuracy one for machining, but really high for woodworking). You won't use half of them, but they are hardened and ground steel.
Be aware that drill shanks are slightly smaller than the marked size as well for clearance when drilling.
Before your intro was finished, I was already impressed by the neatness, cleanliness and organization of your shop. The rest of the video was fun. Thank you.
Great show, good energy.
Regarding the use of Dominos to keep wood flush while gluing pieces together. The Domino allows pieces to be joined together exactly where you want them to be. The Domino keeps pieces from moving left & right as well as up & down . This enables pieces to go back together in exactly the same position if taken apart and put back together multiple times.
I have been fabricating Yacht Interiors for the last 17 years in Ft Lauderdale Florida. Most of the pieces I fabricate have to be "Dry Fit" before it goes to finish or paint. Most of the time the pieces I am trying to install are larger than the door opening to the cabin. So the ability to take an item apart and put it back together again multiple times makes it possible for me to assemble a large cabinet ,bed, etc... in place to make sure everything fits properly before I take it to be finished or painted. After the piece is finished or painted I can then final assemble the piece in place using glue (if needed).
To stop pieces sliding I use a few grains of salt. As for taking pieces of wood apart, if using wood glue that won't be possible. You'd have to use something specialised like hide glue.
The router setup block thing is so stupidly genius.
You are an absolute nut.. And I love it. It's people like you that make things fun to learn. Your videos are informative and fun. Thank you.
This video is probably one the most informative video I’ve ever watched in woodworking. I’m significantly impressed therefore registered. Thank you for your great job.
With the pull saws, if you look at the front, there's a kind of hook. That's for scoring your line for your blade to ride in.
Which also means you don't start pull cuts from the closest point of the wood (as he did) but from the farest one which guarantees your cut is straight... That's why the notch on japanese saws is at the front of the blade and not close to the handle.
I assume he learned using push saws and with push saws if you start off with the back of the sawblade, you can get a straight cut, but if you start off with the front of the sawblade, it can jump around just like it does when he’s starting off with the back of the pull saw blade.
Recently started work working as a complete novice.
Thank you so much for your videos. So much simple information brought by your experience!!! Thanks!!!
Enjoyed the video. Take the major tools in your shop and do introduction to how to use them with the tips and tricks that you have learned over the years. What works what doesn't. Your approach to "teaching" is great. Thank you for making your videos so enjoyable while being yourself.
God, I really like this guy's energy and charm. Good content too.
Great even for old timers. Solved two problems, router cutting direction and plunge depth!
Need more videos like this. The jointer one was the best. Will be doing that from now on.
I’ve heard you say “if your stock is milled correctly,” or “because I mill my stock correctly,” or “you should mill your stock correctly.” Could you do a really boring video about how to mill stock correctly? Because in all honesty, while there is great transformation and reward, there’s nothing exciting about the milling process. 😁 Love your stuff!!
I disagree! Milling wood, esp ugly rough lumber, is one of my favorite things about woodworking. Nothing like having a beat-up old board put through the milling process (esp. the face) and then finding out you have beautiful figured wood underneath all the ugly.
He did
Yes alternate the grain not because the cupping issue though. In my experience, grain orientation has little to do with the direction of the cup. The side facing up always cups, because cupping is caused by the wood drying on one side faster than the other. Hot air rises, and carries moisture with it, so the side closest to the up has a faster drying process. Nothing to do with grain.
@@heman5954 I respectfully disagree. In my experience wood will follow the grain in regards to cupping. As far as a tabletop or large slab is the best way to ensure and even surface. That being said there are no absolutes in woodworking
@@justinrealityforeverisnow4574 I'm not a professional furniture builder but I am a carpenter who builds houses daily from the ground up. I deal with a lot of sun. A board laying in the sun always cups towards the sun. If I notice a board has cupped badly and I simply flip it over, in a day or two the board has flattened. If I leave it another day or two the cup is in the complete opposite direction as the original. The sun is my worst enemy. 5/4 deckboards are the worst about this. A day before I use them, I try to orient the ugly side up so when I use them the cup (ugly side) faces down. After a few short days, it never fails, the cup will be facing the sun again. As you said though, there are no absolutes with wood.
you remind me of my dad, he was a professional carpenter and always wanted to teach me his craft but being a dummy i want interested. He past 7 years ago and its only now I have plucked up the courage to get his tools out and start to learn and buy new tools to add and turn my garage in to a wood work shop. I'm learning so much from you and i really appreciate it. thank you
the saw grinding trick is awesome, Paul Sellers has been doing it for 40 years or so by filing down/blunting the teeth, you should watch his stuff even though you're not a hand tool woodworker. Rob Cosman's sells hand saws that have very fine teeth on the tip to start the cut and coarser teeth along the main beam to do the bulk of the cutting. they are push saws though, which i prefer because you can be more aggressive on the push stroke than on the pull, thereby removing more material per stroke. keep up the good work man, I like your videos.
More please
hhhmmm, i always found pull saws to be more efficient and accurate. But, it really depends on a the engineering and quality of the saw. my vertias tenon saw definitely out works my japanese saws, but i don't have any pull saws nearly as nice as my veritas. have you spend considerably more time on push saws, so your body position and motion is just more locked in? Im thinking maybe i should focus more on only push saws for awhile just to build up my technique
I was taught by my grandfather (a qualified joiner / carpenter from ye olden days, before power tools) to start cuts with a western style saw, by lightly pulling the saw along my line, then the first push engages neatly in the score line made by the back of the teeth on that first pull. When I used my first pull saw, I reversed the process and it works the same way.
This is really interesting because I have two pull saws and both have this leading edge on both ends. They are much shorter though. However, I saw a video from Matt Estlea where he showed how to use the pull saw properly: first you should push it, which doesn't cut deep but cuts the edge of the wood piece enough to make a leading 'track' for the rest of the move. Also, it's important not to push the pull saw hard into the wood. You literally just move it with only a very slight pushing it downwards. Especially at the first few pulls.
Yes. I was about to say that you should rather grind them at an angle to sharpen then instead of deleting them from existence
From one moron to another: THANK YOU for teaching others what you did not know initially! We don't all have the funds to take in-person classes, and these videos are so helpful.
I love your energy, Bro. Keep the Wood work!!
Really loved all of the tips, especially on the plunge router set-up. Paul Sellers did a 10 Quick Wood Working Tips where he recommends that you file down the teeth at the front of a push saw. It is excellent that you thought to do the opposite on a pull saw.
Thank you. I have learned today. Especially, about router set up.
Excellent production my friend. Started getting serious about woodworking a year or so ago (at age 70 now). I likely don't have 30 years to amass all the knowledge you could take in, so these little intense bits of wisdom are super helpful. Keep em coming!! Doc
Love that you keep your language clean and love your presentation method. These tips are so helpful and appreciated man, thank you and keep Em coming - love your channel man.
Agreed.
that pull saw trick is life-changing. Like actually changing lives. My life specifically. lol. Been looking for a fix for this for the few times I use handsaws (I also like to make money and I love power/electricity)
Frown Smile grain pattern identifying is going right up there in the brain forever. Thanks, great tip!
When you laughed at do-do, you had me, I subscribed.
Me too!
Love that you don't curse man keep up the great work!!! Part 2 was hilarious
Omg! The router tips have revolutionised my life!! Awesome thanks
The jigsaw tip was a major light bulb moment. Never even questioned drilling a hole to start. Also enjoyed the square dowels tip. Thanks!
The take away I got from this , is to keep an extra tape measure on you. One for measuring and one for your drink.
Love it buddy 🙌
Great reminders, thank you for sharing, stay warm, safe, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia
That pull saw grinding technique is a wicked tip. Thank you so much for sharing that. I can’t believe how easy you made that look starting a cut. I’ll be trying this one real quick.
It left me curious how that trick compares to leaving the saw alone but scoring the cut line with a razor beforehand. I'm guessing two quick swipes with a razor through that corner and the pull saw will be good to go. Not that you're likely to use those teeth way down by the handle much anyway.
Awesome video. I would love to see more router tricks. I'm just getting started with mine and learned a lot from this video
Brilliant.. Lots of the videos I see tell you the best way to do something but rarely tell you why, this always leaves me with the thought "Have i really got this right", when you understand why it makes it a no brainer to follow.. :)
The “A/B” jointer method is actually preferable to perfectly square edges. The angles increase surface area, allowing for more glue and strengthening the joint.
Isn't the joint going to be stronger than the wood anyway?
Aku Viljanen From a breakage perspective, yes. However, more surface area means the angled joint is less likely to fail over time - due to seasonal movement - than the flat joint. Flat joints are much easier to clamp up though. For the record; my comment wasn’t intended as a criticism. Just additional information. 😉

Yes, _technically_ there is more surface area with an angled edge. But, like, 1/10%. Your gluing technique is going to make a bigger difference than that. Doesn't negate the value of the joining tip, however, or stressing out about the angle not being perfect.

Another alternative for setup blocks is to buy a cheap set of Allen keys, they are the exact same thing only 6 sided rather than square
Or simply use drill bits. Ok, they are round, but normally it works fine and you already have them in your shop.
Martin Jacob Yes, I’ve done that as well but difficult to stack up where the Allen keys can be much more easily
Philip Byrnes Good point.
I've set my router in so many ways over the years, read this and thought 'You silly old duffer! Why have you never thought of this?" Cracking idea!
Robert Harris Thank you, enjoy
I just found this video and I loved it. I'm new to woodworking, so tips and tricks like these make me more excited about this new hobby. And yes, I'll mind my fingers when I start cutting lumber. Thanks again
I wish this guy was my wood shop teacher back in the day.
me too
Do they still have wood shop?
I think the stumbling around and popping up from behind the workbench gags he does wouldn't play well to an audience of junior high kids, though.
Still, you'd learn something about working with wood, which was more than I learned in "wood" shop.
@@billybobjohnroane1692 no. The school system closed them and now junior college teaches the trades.
I went to a rich area school in the 70s. We had both woodshop and car shops.
My woodshop teacher was a retired air force bird colonel who had high standards.
99% of the times Im wearing headphones when I’m watching videos so my family doesn’t have to listen. I find your videos helpful. And your reactions to yourself even funnier. I’m constantly laughing leaving my family asking me “what’s so funny?” They wouldn’t understand that woodworking videos can be helpful and funny at the same time. Thank you for sharing your tips.
boy this guy is great at explainingnin a way that is not only entertaining but also how to do with the pros and cons. will always watch him to learn
Thankyou.
Thank you! I immensely enjoyed your antics and funniness and at the same time enjoyed learning so much! I, too, was so afraid of using a router; at first, I couldn't figure out in what direction to start routing. I will definitely remember your tip.
Whiteside sells a set of brass setup blocks (model 9800 I believe) for less than $12 on Amazon if someone is looking for cheap alternative. Thanks for the tips Jason. The router finger trick will definitely go into the memory bank!
Keystock works too
Thank you Dr. Steve Brule. Always informative.
Thank you so much for the “A” “B” jointer tip. I’ve been struggling with trying to make flat table tops. You provided the solution I was looking for. :-)
The boards he used already had flat (or so) faces. Try that with cupped, warped or uneven board faces, and your results will not be very good. When working with rough lumber, you run one face, first. His point was only referred to an edge jointing technique, assuming otherwise decent lumber. In my opinion, of course.
absolutely love the fact that you add in the "budget options" very helpful when trying to do projects and obtain all the proper tools etc and know what can be used for the time being! Thank you!
That was such an explanation of RPM and big vs small bits. I mean very well explanation of all of the tips but I loved that one the most. Thank you for all of these videos
First video I've seen of yours, you're a nut. I love it! Fun and informative. I am however VERY surprised at the comments section. A lot people just want the dead pan tips, move it along, no attention span. Well I enjoyed it. Keep it up, screw the haters.
Bro...from me switching from IT to woodworking (don't ask), I've been overloaded with conflicting perfectionism at every turn. Your shit is all I'm watching here on out, God damn these are gold. God damn I'm so mind blown I'm ranting in the abyss that is TH-cam comments
Steve you off your meds again buddy?
Hints for the pull saw and set-up blocks…are great! Thanks
Plunging a jigsaw doesn't always go that smooth, my recommendation is do that a good ways away from your finish surface as every once in awhile it runs off on ya
Jigsaw plunge cut also works with a "sawzall" reciprocating saw, for instance plunging into flooring.
I have been doing the jigsaw plunge thing for 50 years. It just seemed natural. I do use a drill on thicker material because you will get bouncing as you go more vertical and the wood is still not fully pierced.
Both video of woodworking tricks are so good I saved them. Thank you.
It's nice to have a "normal?" guy to explain the questions you sometimes don't think to ask.
I hate getting my beard and mustache sloppy, thanks for the pro tip. I've been using a funnel but I have a really weak gag reflex so this may help.
Best collection of tips I’ve seen. More, please.
22:11 There's another way to get setup blocks on the cheap while in your favorite big box store. Go to where the metal stock can be found in square tube, or square stock form. They are available in steel and aluminum, or if you really want to get fancy, you can also find them in brass or copper. If you buy them in steel, there will most likely be an oily residue on it (protects against rust in shipping and long term storage) that you'll have to obviously clean off before use. As with the square wooden dowels, these are also manufactured to precise measurements, you can cut them down to your desired length with a hack saw or angle grinder, they'll last A LOT longer than the wooden ones, and they're comparably priced.
Or buy the cheapest set of drill bits you can find (think garage sale or swap meet). Used is good. poor metal and dull edges but the diameters are still very exact so use them for setup blocks.
@@riversider681 That's actually a great idea!!! Thank you!!!!
Thank you SO MUCH for not calling them 'hacks' - that is the most misused AND overused word of the 21st century!
100% agree! Often paired with “Genius!” Brilliant! or “game-changing!”
Brilliant! Loads of useful tips for newbies, DIYers and I'm sure a fair few professionals!
Thanks from London England 👍💪😎🏴
Better alternative for stop blocks when gauging your plunge router: drill bits. Every woodworker has drill bits, and they are cheap and come in every size you could ever want.
Use the shafts to measure your plunge stop with 100% accuracy every single time. Even when the drillbits get dulled out and you end up replacing them, you can still find useful things to use the dulled bits for.
I rarely feel compelled to comment on a video but damn homie this was legit. The knowledge is invaluable while at the same time, delivered in a very comprehensive way. I even got 90s children educational TV show vibes like beakmans world.
Thank you so much! This was super helpful since I’m just joining the ranks of woodworking.
Great presentation and attitude!
I was just looking up
"How to make a box"
And came across this video.
I didn't learn how to make a box here but you were way more interesting with a wacky sense of humor.
We need more of that these days.
If you can't make a box you shouldn't be using any power tools lol. I could build a box when I was five 😂 Jk man I thought your comment was funny when you said " I didn't learn how to make a box here but..." Keep trucking man you'll learn
@@Merciful2u ahh cool cool again I was just messing with you I hope I didn't offend you.
“If you are not entertaining, you are not training.” but you’re doing both. I just learned a ton of stuff and I’ve been making sawdust for a long time. Thank you.
That jigsaw tip is sweet. No need to have a drill to hand...
I stopped watching for woodworking a little while in and started watching to laugh 😂. That’s how you make an informative video. 👍🏻
the plunge cut trick has been around since there where saber saws. blade stiffness has improved over the years making it easier.
"the jigsaw is affordable..."
Pulls out a Fesstool. :)
LOL they're like $700 in Australia
@Michael Jones I got my jigsaw when it was on clearance from Lowe's for $16 (Porter Cable cordless). So mine really was affordable.
Gee, my reconditioned Ryobi does the same thing! And for a fifth of the price of the one shown! And I can buy blades at Harbor Freight!
My general experience is that items like these power tools are significantly cheaper in the USA. My very rough rule of thumb is, take the USA price add about 30% to the Dollar price and then swap the Dollar sign for Sterling sign. For example a tool that costs $180 in USA becomes £240 ($310) in UK.
I suppose it's all down to things like import duties, shipping costs, high VAT in UK , supplier mark up. Also, in USA, the market is much bigger - so sellers get bigger bulk discount.
Compared to other Fesstool products it is.
Great tip on the Pull Saw!..I have a nice one and you’re right, its tough to get the saw to start properly.
Could you do some over making milled lumber flat and square I enjoy how you explain and make things fun
One of the best beards on TH-cam
Need to see The Handyman for comparison. Maybe have a competition.
Where do I enter this competition? 😂
Mike Coffey too!
You're a great teacher. I am impressed
