- Learn how to use a jigsaw with this in-depth 30-min. tutorial. If you've ever wanted to get started with power tools, I highly recommend getting started with a jigsaw. They're the least intimidating, are versatile because they can cut wood, plastic, and metal, and they can be affordable. In this in-depth tutorial, I walk you through WHY you need a jigsaw, HOW to get started, the parts of the jigsaw, and HOW to cut wood and metal. I also share with you my favorite jigsaw blades for cutting laminate, wood, etc. for getting the best results.

74 year old woman and I just discovered I love making tables. Thanks for this informative video. Now I'll buy a jigsaw to make my next project easier.
Awesome, glad this video helps you!
It is mercy of Allah that you have a such a wonderful life. Please also take a moment and learn about Islam. Hope you enjoy good health as well as Iman/faith. Thank you.
I absolutely love this comment and feel so inspired.
This was an awesome tutorial! Informative, clear & concise. Feel like my bestie just taught me how to use a power tool!! Thrift Diving, You ROCK!!
I just found this tutorial, and I LOVE IT!! I need to watch every tutorial you've ever posted!
This is probably the first time I have watched ALL of a 30 minute video... and it was worth it. Thanks for such a detailed and informative tutorial. It's very helpful.
I just loved this tutorial. I've been using power tools since 1996 and you're the first person who took the time to explain every part. thank you so much, I learned so much!!!
You are most welcome!! I appreciate the great comment!
You are a gifted teacher and I'm very impressed. I've had that Ryobi jigsaw for years and never paid any attention to all the features. Thank you for sharing your knowledge & I'm looking forward to being a subscriber. ( I just bought the Ryobi 10 inch table saw and have been staring at it for the past few weeks. It's a wee bit intimidating. If you ever feel like putting together a tutorial on the table saw that would be great!)
just bought a jigsaw. so excited to use it. appreciate this tutorial.
Thank you so very much for finally making it clear in all the little details that other youtubers overlook, how to understand and operate power tools as a newbie. I've been so intimidated I have probably lost years of fun and satisfaction. I will now take out tools I bought years ago but never used and finally overcome my intimidation.
very comprehensive, just starting with a jig saw and this was almost everything you need to know to begin in 1 place!
Thanks so much for making such a clear, thorough, high quality video! All the little details were really helpful for me - a complete beginner. Looking forward to cracking out my new jigsaw now, and to watching all your other vids!
Thank you so much for this great tutorial! My MIL just recently gave me my late FIL's jigsaw. Now I'm excited to do some projects!
Thank you! Got my first saw power tool today, a jig saw, and am so glad I could watch this first as I hadn't a clue where to start with it!!
Thank you for posting this! I own a hand me down jigsaw & am terrified of power tools! I've learned the dremel & drill & LOVE them!! After watching your tutorial, I feel confident to try out my jigsaw
Just bought this Ryobi jigsaw so this was the perfect tutorial for me. Thanks!!
Thanks for these videos I just started using power tools a couple months ago working with wood. Your videos are very informative and interesting.I like ur positive energy it keeps me comming back! I subscribed good stuff ☺
Aww, yay! Glad I could help!! Thanks for the sub!
Thank you for sharing! I am just getting started with power tools and I appreciate the detailed review!
Fantastic tutorial! You covered everything so well and explained it so clearly I feel confident I can use one! Thank you for all of the time and energy you put into this training. 😊👍🏼🤗
Awesome!! I'm so glad you found it helpful! I have more tutorials coming. Hopefully they will be equally helpful! :)
Very thorough and informative! I'll be using a jigsaw for the first time to cut laminate flooring and this video gives me the confidence to start the job.
Absolutely amazing tutorial! I feel so much better after watching and will definitely start using a Jigsaw now!
Thank you for taking the time to break things down. I feel confident enough to use my saws!
It is amazing details. It's a huge knowledge i had received about the jigsaw that I didn't know before.
Thank you very much 👍😘
I understand very well your instruction regarding the use of Jigsaw and I learn also about the safety of the unit since that tools is not yet available in my tools thank you very much.
Thanks for your video! You go into great detail and you also cover the safety aspects of using the power tools! Please keep making more videos so people can learn the correct ways to safety learn the skills that they need to do projects at home!
Great tutorial, detailed and highly informative! Thank you a lot, Miss Nice Lady!
Thank you for being an inspiration. During this pandemic, I've been feeling the need to work with my hands. I know you have to start somewhere, so on Monday, I'm going to attempt the planter with the screen around it...You are amazing! And your kids are cute too!
I truly appreciate you doing these type of videos. I cannot wait for the next one.
Thank you SO much for explaining this! I’m heading out to my garage to use my new jig saw now. Woop woop! 💪🏼
Seriously, thank you for doing this video and all the others as well. I love that you do these things and share it with others. It's really inspiring. I've never thought of asking my husband for power tools for my birthday but I will. He's not a handy guy which is fine but I'd like to think I can make stuff on my own if need be because I am a lil bit handy and very creative so, yeah.
You are a great influence on your kiddos as well as to the entire U-Tube-verse.
Awww...what a great comment to wake up to this morning! :) I appreciate it! You'll enjoy having power tools. They're awesome! I hope you have space because you'll want more and more after you start using them. LOL
Thank you for this! I love that you were not afraid to be super basic because basic is exactly what I needed as a first-time jigsaw user! Mine is not nearly so fancy, doesn't do angle cuts and has a plug, which I kept having to worry about; Ryobi should be happy because I think you just sold me on that one.
I agree with Shannon! I just found your TH-cam channel and love how you explain everything in detail. I'm an artist and have been wanting to learn how to cut my own wood in various designs for resin projects :)
4 years later and this video is still relevant to my need of learning to use a jig saw. I had no idea there were so many blades. Especially a scroll saw blade, now that’s a game changer. Thank you 🙏
Thank you so much for this video 🙂 I have just started woodworking and bought myself a jigsaw a couple days ago, this video was super handy, lots of stuff I now know that I didn't before. Thank you 🙂
Omg 😱 this was soooo awesome, thank you sooo much for this video. I’m a event designer who’s interested in making my own props and this is exactly what I needed to know..thank you, thank you 🙏🏾
Great video. I use the same Ryobi jigsaw and your tips helped me a lot. Thank you.
I've been using power tools for many years but was so happy to learn about the new blades you found.
As always Serena thank you for reinforcing my knowledge and now I have more understanding of a jigsaw and it's blades. Now if I can only find a toddler bed I'll be set! Thank you so very much!!!!!!!
LOL, check Craigslist! LOL :) Very happy that it helped you!!
Love this video! So many others are staged to make things look really easy, never showing the problems that might arise. Also, such clear explanations in a logical order with no time wasted: no long drawn out introduction about her professional expertise; all really genuine & down to earth. I'm subscribing, something I've NEVER done before. You rock, girl!!!
Yay! I am so happy to have you, Marsha!! :) Thanks for that wonderful feedback! I'm going to keep these tutorials coming. ;)
Best power tool tutorial ever!!! Some guys might be better at using tools but none of those skilled handy guys can make a tutorial video as good as yours. So encouraging and confident. You go, girl. And many thanks for the good work you put into this video. ❤️👍
I loved all the information you demonstrated in this video! I just purchased my jigsaw & have yet to actually try it. You gave me the confidence I so badly need to get started. I would love to see you cut circles in metal, thanks!
Very empowering! I've been a little shy to try out my power tools, but I just got a table saw and have other power tools. This gives me more confidence to get going! First project: installing laminate flooring.
Your video is so thorough and I can understand more about the blades. Thanks Serena!
Thank you so much for explaining it in detail. Now I can buy this tool and can do DIY which require cuts and all. God bless you! 🙏🏻🤗
Wow. I’ve watched several videos on jigsaws and even though your video is nearly 30 minutes long, it’s the most helpful video compared to all the other videos I’ve watched combine. Thank you so much!
This video has been very informative to me since I was just starting to look into jigsaw to buy one. I find your videos very motivating thank you keep up the good job!
super informative. appreciate that you go in detail with which blades should be used for what, alot of guides miss out on that stuff
You r amazing in very simple way to demonstrate the working and all about this power machine . Thank you , keep growing and stay safe
Thank you so much for the video and being detailed in how to properly use the jigsaw! Much appreciated!
Fantastic video! Thank you for not yelling, being over hyper and just too much selling the thing! Superb safety instructions!
I just bought a Ryobi corded jigsaw as I've been needing to redo the shelving on my book/dvd/CD cases. This has helped me immensely as I've never used a jigsaw previously. There were so many useful tips in your video, I'm so glad I watched before I started just cutting away lol
thanks - great introduction - I wanted to get a jigsaw but have never used power cutting tools before, and know I feel much more confident in how to get started .........keep up the great work!

FANTASTIC video! I just bought a jigsaw to do some DIY stuff around my first home....I feel so much better prepared! Thanks!
Excellent tutorial. Must say, I'm obsessed with my jigsaw, can't stop cutting things. My latest was a wall hung seahorse key holder. Fitting given I live close to the beach.
This video was so helpful. I’ve always loved diy project, but all the time I need tools I need to borrow from dad but I decided to purchase this jigsaw. I was nervous but watching ur video made me feel confident on my buy. I can’t wait until it gets delivered! Thanks!

Lesson I learn from ALL your videos - don't be afraid to try something new! Thank you for such a great video!
I love this!! You hit the nail on the head, Carol!! :)
The video was very helpful thanks for sharing. Just bought my 1st jigsaw to round off a new window sill.

Great tutorial packed full of information. You have a gift for this.
This is excellent! I look at a lot of videos and this one was clearer give you the ability to do a lot more.
Thank you so very much for the info. I was looking into buying a new circular saw, but now I will be purchasing the jigsaw.
You're welcome, Yvonne! Yes, get a jigsaw first! Get comfortable with it, and then add a circular saw to your DIY toolbox! :)
Very well done video. I’ve been a carpenter for 35 years and felt the video was very well done, very informative. It left me with almost nothing to add, and was well worth the time. Anyone with a jigsaw should watch this video.
Brilliant! Thank you for your incredible tutorial on using a jigsaw.
I have just bought this same jigsaw. Thanks for some really useful tips!
This is the first time I've stumbled across your channel, and I'm in love 😍😍😍
I brought the same exact jigsaw as you have about 9 months ago and it was still in the box until I just watched this video. Tomorrow I am ready to go. I also brought a circular saw and a miter saw at the same time and have yet to use those but you are giving me confidence to get started. Thank you.
Excellent video. One of the best for jigsaws. So easy my 4 year old was able to understand. He loves tools!
Thank you so much for making it look so easy and teaching me!!
This is an amazing video, thank you so much. I have just gotten into using power tools and have struggled to find videos aimed at beginners - thanks again!
Katie L You are most welcome!! Glad I could help you!
I watched this video after buying my first jigsaw and then confidently made my first cut! Thank you @ThriftDiving so much for this super informative and very thorough video! I went from knowing nothing about jigsaws to being ready to make my first cut

Super helpful! You’re a great teacher, thank you! ❤️
That's a great video I've had a jigsaw for years and I still learned a lot from you good job on this video
Loved this video, very useful. I'd like to see more videos like this one. After seeing this video i think I'm feeling more comfortable using a jigsaw. Thanks 4 the info.
Sister Appiah, this is so helpful! I like that this Ryobi uses the ‘t’ blades - better because they feel more secure. God bless! 💛😎
I watched a couple of these videos today, this one is by far the most professional. Thanks !
I learned so much from this video. Love your channel and blog. Since I'm a new DIYer. I'd like to see more videos like this on all the power tools you have
sofia Rivera You got it, Sofia!!!
Great video! Love all the demos. And I had no idea the base could be set for angled cuts.
Fantastic tutorial!!! Thank you!!! I only regret that I have discovered you just now. Getting serious about being a DIY person. Will depend upon all you can share to learn more!!
You help me get the fear out of some of my first times tools! Thanks Serena.
Thanks so much! I'm an avid do-it-myselfer and have renovated many rooms in my house, including two kitchens (two houses) but I have a fear of power saws. I once cut a 30" panel with a japanese pull saw (because as you explained saws that cut on the push and pull are awesome). I feel more confident in giving a jigsaw a try now. About to install floors that will require some weirdly shaped cuts!
Fantastic info covering all my questions and simple to understand, thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you sooooo much!!! Here I've been putting off projects awhile waiting for a man with power tools to come along and help me ..(like waiting forever, lol)... and you made this all so easy for me! I wish I'd seen this years ago! You explained things so well and simply and I'm going out to get me a jigsaw! Thank you!
YAY! So happy to hear that this is happy! :)
Very good tutorial....just what i was looking for. Thank you.
