    Here are my answers to frequent comments about this video...
    Where's Your Push Stick?-
    Lots of viewers are concerned about me not using a push stick. I have push sticks and push pads that I use frequently. But there are times when I don't, and the reason I don't is because I am perfectly safe NOT using the push stick. Safety is often (not always, but often) a subjective determination. I've pushed miles of wood through table saws over the years and there are times when I don't need a push stick, BUT you might need one (and if you are questioning my technique, you definitely DO need a push stick). You can't go wrong using a push stick. With safety in mind, you might appreciate the video I made right after this one, "Accidents We Have Known," ... th-cam.com/video/BvH_3ToTqkc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=7SuGyb6b1gRYOsEn
    Where is your guard and riving knife?-
    I've never had a guard or riving knife on my saw, BUT I totally agree that I should have the riving knife (not so much the guard). No one but me uses my table saw. In the video linked above I explain that if my plans to build a "real" workshop materialize, I will outfit it with a new saw outfitted with the riving knife. 👍
    Why don't you simply just set and reset the fence?-
    If I had a high-quality fence with micro adjustment capability, setting and resetting the fence might be just as easy as using the trick I show here. BUT I don't have that luxury. The original fence on my old saw is not one that can be easily adjusted and readjusted to exact settings. If you have an old saw with a poor quality fence, you know what I mean. I've learned to work with the fence I have, but it would be unnecessarily time consuming to reset to previous dimensions. Also, I appreciated the comment below from the man who mentioned that he learned this trick from a pattern maker. The idea is entirely dependable for getting very precise measurements.
    I appreciate everyone's comments!

      I was not too much concerned. I noticed you did something that I often do, which is when ripping boards maybe 4" plus, without a push stick, I keep some fingers over to the right side of the fence as a way to force my hand to stay on-track and prevent inadvertent drifting of my hand towards the blade.
      Knock on wood, but I too have run an awful lot of wood across a table saw. Of course I use a push stick for MANY of those instances but not all. Paying careful attention to paths, stance, weight-distribution, hand-control, etc are the keys to being able to do that for so many years without ever having a rotating blade contact any part of my body.

      I really upset James Hamilton of "Stumpy Nubs" fame a few years ago when he made a video about how it was every woodworkers dream to make their front door (huh?) and then proceeded to use five or six large industrial machines and a different operator on each machine that processed each aspect of his _dream project._ I made what I thought was a humorous comments his _dream door_ was easy to make with all the thousands of $$$ of industrial machines to do the work for him.
      Well James must have gotten out the side of the bed that morning which had an open second floor window and gave a really testy reply to which I responded with _"Oh _*_zinger_*_ you really got me there." To stop it escalating I took it off line and emailed him to voice my concern about his _dream build_ and the *not* doing it himself but used his staff on the high cost industrial machines. He never replied and while I found he did produce some really excellent content that was interesting and very educational for an old fart like me, I Unsubscribed and never went back. I really like making things but I am really crap at it so YT Channel like Stumpy Nubs was quite helpful but James had moved from the basic hand and power tools to industrial ones and lost touch with us common people.
      My apologies for the waffle but yeah, it's kinda nice to see the real workshop of this Channel even if it has a table saw that I will never be able to afford just like the expensive timber / lumber that I guess from the excessive price of it no longer grows on trees. Eg, where I live a 235mm x 19mm x 1.8mts piece of _unobtanium_ costs me AUD$53. If I want to make a simple foot stool, that I learned how to do in woodworking class 53 years ago the wood will cost me AUD$33. It's nuts.
      Again my apologies for the waffling rant.

    Back in my "FNG" (...new guy) days, I learned to frame with a bunch of old guys who knew all the tricks, but didn't like talking or teaching. So (listen up youngsters who already know everything) I shut up, did what I was told, and never stopped watching and learning from the real pro's. I kept trying to guess how I would do it (before they did it), and I was always wrong. But I tried. I was constantly amazed at their tricks - how much faster they did it, how much better they did it, and how much smarter and more efficiently they did it. By keeping my mouth shut, observing intensely, and learning from those wiser and more experienced than I, I learned a TON that I would never have learned had I not had that opportunity. Never miss an opportunity to learn from others. Thank you Herrick! Brilliant! Short and to the point.

    I found you comments about not having a guard or reving knife interesting.
    As a retired wood patternmaker we never had either on our table saws.
    When OCHA came through they said we did not have to use them. The types of cuts we made were difficult with a guard in the way and they agreed the guard added danger.

Mine has driven me crazy over the years, making inaccurate dados, etc. I was going to have a shop mill it flat, but then I got the extra bid to deepen the fence grooves, and it was more than the saw was worth, so I learned to compensate and live with it.

    That's a nice one, any time you can take the tape measure out of the equation it eliminates the margin of human error. I use a similar concept for crosscutting half lap joints on a sled, you just need both workpieces and a shim the same thickness as the kerf

    Great tip & “jobsite safe” (i.e. practical, but still safe-ish). Thanks for sharing.

    You know, I'm not an expert by any means, but it seems rare that I actually find a tip that I didn't know. Thank you so much for this. I'm also thinking that this is good for ripping thin strips safely. God bless.

    • @herrickkimball
      @herrickkimball  หลายเดือนก่อน

      The technique does not work without a sample. ☹️

    • @olywolle
      @olywolle หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@herrickkimball I thought so ;-). But I even so appreciate the trick. It will motivate me to keep some strips in reserve during a work session, just in case I will need them later.

    Mr. Kimball that’s an awesome trick,definitely just learned something. What all the safety police missed is you turning the piece around to finish the cut. Also they missed the part about this being a jobsite multi user type situation. And far as the sleeves go the safty police must not have ever worked out in the cold while doing production work. Easy to criticize from a 2 car garage with central air. Keep up the tips.

    make sure you use the guard, riving knife and anti-kickback safety equip.

  • @davidharnett5640
    @davidharnett5640 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Flipping end for end is a good old time technique which is getting forgotten and lost and is far safer than running your hands and sleeves down both sides of the blade with no apparent riving knife 😳🇦🇺

    Interesting, but could you have just used one of your previously cut wider pieces to establish the width between the saw blade and rip fence to readjust your rip fence?

  • @hairy-one
    @hairy-one หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    old Craftsman saw. I use that exact one. Sloppy fence, but I figured out how to make it work. Zero clearance insert was a bitch to match the thin sheet metal insert, but I did it using VERY sketchy techniques. Loads of fun, and surprisingly I still have all my fingers.

    this is the way I’m trying to train my brain to work. Because it’s math. I normally have an easy time with this kind of thing, but I’m new to woodworking so it’s a struggle.

  • @garyfestarini9608
    @garyfestarini9608 28 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    I have been woodworking for 45 years and have not use that trick. I do however use the method of flipping the board over to finish the cut. It is a way to avoid putting your fingers at risk when cutting narrow stock
