Thank you for the great explanation.
I was confused as to how to go about making notches in a 4 x 4 piece of wood.
From across the pond - I found that really useful, short, simple and straight forward. Great stuff.
Is that “pond” referring to Atlantic?
Videos like this one. Thank you! Straightforward, no long introduction.
This helped me a lot lot lot! Thanks a ton! I came to my native house where I had only the circular saw and was in a requirement to do three notch cuts on a single lengthy teak wood for a mosquito net frame. I applied your technique 2:00 by cleaning the cuts with the circular saw swiping movement itself. This worked like a charm and was amazed while doing the work thinking of you. Thanks a lot once again. 🙏👍
Thank you for taking the time to comment. :)
@@TrainingHandsAcademy ofcourse yes. You are dedicating whole lot of your time for wonderful informative videos. Infront of that commenting is nothing. Only thing I can do is, appreciate your talent & dedication. Thanks a lot. 🙏
Never used a circular saw, just bought one and about to start work with it. I was confused because all videos say the blade has to be at a depth below what you are cutting, so good to see the versatility of uses in this video
You are a great instructor and you make even the simplest things seem interesting! Thank you.
First time here and I'm hooked!
I've just learnt a lot in 6 minutes. Just subscribed thanks.
Same here
Me too. Thanks
Well spoken & detailed. As a novice woodworker but someone who has always just dove in., I really appreciate the time you spend detailing not only the “how” but also the “why” . Thank you again!
I appreciate that Eric!
This is a great how to video!!! I asked Santa for a kreg jig so I can make my own storage pieces. I have never used a power tool, but have been inspired by the women on TH-cam, Eternal Harvest, Ana White and April Wilkerson. I am a new subscriber 😁
I'm honored to have you here Angie!
Watching your videos has taken me to the next level of carpentry. Thank you!
I’ve mostly used bridle & dovetail joints, but now that I’ve purchased a circular saw, I’ll be glad to add these other techniques to my toolbox
Good, clear demonstration of the various joints. Thank you.
In my oppinion, the half lap is a joint every woodworker, hobbyist to professional, should learn how to make.
The table for my jobsite tablesaw and router and my assembly table were made using mostly half laps. The half laps on my assembly table were made on the sliding miter saw. :)
I cut my joints with a tiny bit of tobacco, a pinch of lavander and a moderate helping of rose petals.
All organic or beyond organic of course!
Thanks for the demonstration video!
I always had a big rough rasp with me to smooth out the notch after you knock out the kerf pieces. The rough side of rasp removes the high spots and flip it over and couple strokes with the smoother side of rasp and you've got a nice smooth even notch! When the deck building craze of the 1980 's took off , we built a bunch of decks and made lap joints on deck posts to set ledgers on! I discovered what a great tool the old Stanley rasp is,and been using it since
Great tip! Thanks for taking the time to tell us Greg!
You solved a problem I was thinking about. I need to make a 5/8" deep channel, just 3/8" wide along a piece of 3/4" plywood, running for about 8". It will be a simple stand for holding up a 6"x6" tile to be used as a quick notepad with a dry erase marker. The channel however is slanted to keep the tile at an angle so it stays put. The circular saw technique you taught in this video for notches can work for my project with the saw set to that desired angle and depth. I was contemplating using a trim router to do this but could to quite figure out how to create the angle in the channel. Thanks.
Thank you for the video. Explained very clearly. Just got a used circular saw and watched your videos , part 1 and 2 of the beginner's circular saw guide.
You're so precise in your teaching, while doing your video's. Thanks much
Thank you ! It's nice to have an explanation straight and to the point. Great demonstration. lol just learning at 63 year young off-grid woman. Many Blessings and Thank you again for sharing your knowledge.
I'm glad it was helpful Asharay, and thank you for the blessings!
Thanks man, I got started woodworking a few weeks ago and how to create these type of joints was a mystery until now
I'm excited for you Conrado! Have fun!
I'm beginning to have interest with carpentry and power tools and your video helps alot. Easy to follow and understand.
Thank you for letting me know. :)
ah pretty straight forward video. I wanted to use some notches for a cross support for large over the bed bookcase style thing my wife wants. I'm a bit green to wood working so this will help alot.
Thanks for watching Matthew!
It's video's like this that make TH-cam worth it's weight in gold. Very clear and easy to follow. I learned a lot. Many thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much for this comments. I am a new beginner and have a number of projects to improve the outside of our house. I did not know how to start. Again thank you...
Great tips. I like your straight forward information style. I cut those notches same way. I use the same thickness scrap piece of wood in front of the notching piece as a guide - it helps keep all cuts same depth, no early lifting or dipping. Also, I find it easy to clean notches with horse rasp, probably works only with softwood.
Great info... thanks for the comment!!
Great tip to help avoid dipping!
Still watching n learning. Thanks for your inspiration
Thanks for watching!
I love joints
Good evening
Thanks for the step by step explanation.
I am just starting out on wood working.
God bless you
Very useful.
Greetings from India
👍👍👍
I like this how it’s very straight forward information right away,thank you
Got a "C" in woodshop in Jr. High School. Wish you had been my teacher. Great video.
Those joints are so useful, starting w/your 1st work table.
So important, U showing different ways of doing it. . Thnks & keep it up.
PS...Nice Shop..!
Thanks, will do!
Thanks a million sir..m a beginner in woodworking from malaysia.
One of the best instructional videos I've yet seen; no irritating blurb and all information delivered clearly and efficiently. Subscribed!
very useful info indeed. best part is that you don't waste a lot of time on extraneous bla bla bla... you just give the info we need succinctly.
thanks!
I've used this in the past,but it's been a few years. We're fixin to get into raising meat rabbits and I've got some hutches to build from mostly rough scrap lumber. Much of it is irregular so this is one way to keep the hutch frames looking decent even if they're not exactly square,plumb,and true.
You definitely are a skilled carpenter and you are able to convey the information simply and quickly. This is also a skill. Thank You for sharing you knowledge with us!!
That's very nice of you... thank you.
I’ve used the half lap to build fence gates for 25 years. Glued and screwed together. No call backs no failures.
Great explanation with none of the irritating gimmicks! Thank you sir!
Just got a cordless circular saw and will be making some very strong deck chairs for the wife and a desk for me. So thank you for the tips and tricks.
Anytime! Have fun!
Wow! I too am building up knowledge. I am working on a pair of beveled glass pocket doors. I need to fill in the gap between the bottom of the glass panel which will butt up against the bottom frame. I am sure I am not describing this right, but after watching your video I think I may be able to use the dado. I am still thinking on it. But thanks for the information. Very useful.
Great .
Redoing my deck.
My first time notch 4x4's to attach to the sidebof my deck
Enjoy the process. Thanks for the comment.
I’m just about to build a garden arch, with like a pergola top, and your video has just taught me how to do the top joints, great video keep the good work up
I'm excited to try some of these joints. I am not a woodworker, but I want to become one. Your videos are great. Just what I need to get started. Thank you so much
