Listen here now, Stumpy, I play things straight. Ain't no way I risk using these tips on the weekdays. I'll stick to weekends only, thank you very much.
For the "angle on a square" tip, even if you don't have a chart, you can use trigonometry (tangent of an angle is, by definition, opposite side divided by adjacent side)
I was about to say the same thing. Rise/Run = slope = tan (angle). So many folks seem afraid of simple trig, but it's really pretty simple and quite useful.
Fav framing square calculation you can do on your phone calculator... tan(degrees)*run = rise Say you want a 22.5° angle on a framing square... tan(22.5)*12 = 4.97 inch rise on 12" inch run. Want 60°, it's... tan(60)*12 = 20.78 inches of rise on 12" inch run. tan(30)*12 =6.92" inches of rise on 12" inch run is 30° Of course you can change the run or degrees and get any rise you want for any angle you want. Comes in handy though.
The one about setting up for half-laps is a 10. I'm a half-lap joint addict, so it's perfect for me. I used to watch the great Norm Abrams with my dad years ago, and he would always say, "Norm always leaves out how long it took him to set up that tool so it would make a perfect cut. It's not that easy!" That setup tip makes it way easier.
Great tips, every one. And have to say, I am one of the great unwashed who never figured out the perpendicular drill technique using a scrap piece! Sweet n' easy technique, my favorite kind.
You can actually calculate the angle at the long side through the rise and length by arctan(rise/len), which every calculator is able to compute. Simple geometry and you dont have to rely on tables (which are not complete)
If you lose your chart with the run/rise/angle relationship and have access to a smart phone you can calculate the angle with atan (rise divided by run), or if you want the rise for a run with a certain angle you can do run*tan(angle).
Finally my trig knowledge comes to play. That is a simple use of tan. Interestingly wood working relies quite a lot on trig for me. I find calculations more precise that way, takes out lot of the guess work for me.
Hi James, Brilliant video. Tips 1 & 3 are the ones I will be using and it's one of those moments when you say "Why didn't I think of that"? Thanks as always. Take care James. Cheers, Huw
Thanks for the great tips. Keep them coming. I've been woodworking for 40+ years and your show along with these tips remind me of advice received from my father about woodworking. Love it and thanks for dredging up those old memories!
I really love these tips, they improve my quality of life when working on a projects. Setting the blade to exactly half the thickness is just the tip i needed!
very good video. as someone who has been woodworking for almost 30 years, most of these videos are the same old shit. most of these were actually new to me. the half lap one is so simple i cant believe ive never seen it before.
I saw this in one of the click bait life hack videos. (I hate that I even ever look at them but that's another story.) Drill through the center of a CD with the reflective side up, when the reflections of the bit and drill are all the same length you are perpendicular to the work. It works surprisingly well and easily.
That first one, I use two slotted boards clamped to a stanley benchmate, works quite well.I have been meaning to replace the original boards, when I do one end will be rounded and one end slotted....
G'day James, cool mate. I especially like the draw jig, always a pain, lol. The framing square method is particularly appealing too and yep, they have a lotta uses for not much dough. Cheers Duke.
Thanks for all the tips and I really loved the Half Lap tip - so simple, yet amazing!! Also, glad you allowed us to use the tips during the week also! :)
You know, I've never done any woodworking. But since I always dreamt of furnishing my living space with my own furniture, I have to do some in the future. And honestly, your channel is awesome for Information and you present everything in a way, that even I as a total outsider in the World of woodworking can understand it. I thank you for that and I hope you stay the way you are.
I was at a guys shop, and he had a varible control of speed on his grinding wheel. He said, "I'm not as young as I used to be, so I had to slow it down, so if make a mistake, I don't ruin my blade, and I don't have to worry about over heating them. I tried to ask him, how he set up grinder, but he just kept talking.

Never used to appreciate your channel and that was a mistake
Seriously you and your channel are a gem and I always take something from them
Thank you
What a passionate rep for her company!
Listen here now, Stumpy, I play things straight. Ain't no way I risk using these tips on the weekdays. I'll stick to weekends only, thank you very much.
Just two videos in, and this is by far one of my favorite series, please keep them coming
Agreed
Love the half lap tip! Little things like that make woodworking so much easier.
"Feel free to use them on weekdays as well" that's comedy gold
I needed this validation! XD
I LOLed, and I haven't done that to a video in a long time! 😄
"Feel free to use them on weekdays too." Thanks for the permission! I was worried that if I tried some of these on a Tuesday, they may not work!
You only have to be a little careful, because they only work on days ending with a 'y'. ;o)
Dang, where I live they don't end in "y"...
For the "angle on a square" tip, even if you don't have a chart, you can use trigonometry (tangent of an angle is, by definition, opposite side divided by adjacent side)
NO!
Rise over run is also a fraction aka a percentage, 50% is 45 degrees extra. More math but you won't need a calculator
I was about to say the same thing. Rise/Run = slope = tan (angle). So many folks seem afraid of simple trig, but it's really pretty simple and quite useful.
Thanks. That half-lap tip is an especially good one.
Fav framing square calculation you can do on your phone calculator...
tan(degrees)*run = rise
Say you want a 22.5° angle on a framing square...
tan(22.5)*12 = 4.97 inch rise on 12" inch run.
Want 60°, it's...
tan(60)*12 = 20.78 inches of rise on 12" inch run.
tan(30)*12
=6.92" inches of rise on 12" inch run is 30°
Of course you can change the run or degrees and get any rise you want for any angle you want. Comes in handy though.
i don't do anything with wood working but i really like these down and dirty tips for accomplishing easy tasks=tasks made easy when you know how.
#1 for supporting drawers for sanding - genius!
I’m always trying to clamp the drawer or clamp blocks into it; this is so simple.
Your channel makes this man, who will suck at woodwork the rest of his life, slightly less sucky. Thank you so much.
Thank you for the half lap tip. That is a peach.
The more I watch, the more I enjoy these videos. The videos are smart and informative, and I get a kick out of the subtle humor.
I like the table saw tenon test. So simple and effective.
The box holding tip is a good one. Nice easy jig.
#3 was AWESOME.
The one about setting up for half-laps is a 10. I'm a half-lap joint addict, so it's perfect for me. I used to watch the great Norm Abrams with my dad years ago, and he would always say, "Norm always leaves out how long it took him to set up that tool so it would make a perfect cut. It's not that easy!" That setup tip makes it way easier.
That was some cool tips!….now if I can just remember them when the time comes.
Oh man, that half lap trick is money!
THNX FOR THE INFO, IM KINDA NEW IN WOODWORKING AND U MAKE THE FRUSTRATING THINGS MUCH EASIER
This series needs more uploads. Please
Great tips, every one. And have to say, I am one of the great unwashed who never figured out the perpendicular drill technique using a scrap piece! Sweet n' easy technique, my favorite kind.
You're the man, Stumpy!
Thanks for sharing with us James. 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👋👋
Thank you man. I appreciate all the help you provide to newbies like myself
That was the most informative 4 minute video I’ve seen. Well done!
Holy crap that half lap trick just blew my mind.
News I will definitely use
Came here to say this, indeed very useful tip.
I plan to use these ONLY on Tuesdays, even though they are weekend woodworking tips. Thanks for the knowledge as always.
every video makes me smarter, thank you

The half lap tip is excellent... so simple... why hadn't I thought of that...lol
Thanks, going to print that chart and hang it on my wall beside my square.
Hi James, Brilliant video. Tips 1 & 3 are the ones I will be using and it's one of those moments when you say "Why didn't I think of that"?
Thanks as always. Take care James. Cheers, Huw
Love the drilling tip. I always come away from your videos with at least one great idea. Thank you as always.
Thanks for the great tips. Keep them coming. I've been woodworking for 40+ years and your show along with these tips remind me of advice received from my father about woodworking. Love it and thanks for dredging up those old memories!
You can use your tips on weekdays as well. Boy got humor!
Great tips. Always looking for ways to make the job easier. Thanks.
I always have to marvel at the thought of the first person who ever learned and tried these tricks.
Best tip: I can use the weekend tips on weekdays. 😎😄😅😆
If I don't say that, people leave comments like: "Aren't these tips good for weekdays too?"
James you have such great tips for us! Can't thank you enough for what you've taught me!
The lap tip is amazing thank you.
The most sincere complement- I was disappointed that this video ended. This was a great video!!! Thank You!
Great tips SN! That half lap tip is pure genius! Thanks for that.... 👍👍😉😉👏👏
I always appreciate your tips. Thanks.
more great content SN- thanks! Tip #1 love the simplicity. Half-lap tip is a full measure of wisdom.
Finding the center of the wood end is just brilliant!
Pure gold. thanks so much.
I’ve only been woodworking for about 2 years and I find your videos very helpful! Definitely subscribing. Thanks for sharing what you’ve learned!
Thanks for giving out these tips.
Good tips here James. Keep them coming. Thanks!
Thanks James. I appreciate your time.
nuggets of simple genius as always. Keep it coming my friend. x
Like the new coffee cup! Wish it was a ontreal Canadiens logo though…
I really love these tips, they improve my quality of life when working on a projects. Setting the blade to exactly half the thickness is just the tip i needed!
Very useful stuff. Thanks, Jim.
GREAT Tips! Usually I've seen at least one of them before but all 5 of these were new to me!
Great tips. It's amazing how long we struggle before thinking of, or seeing a simple tip. Thank you thank you. Colin
very good video. as someone who has been woodworking for almost 30 years, most of these videos are the same old shit. most of these were actually new to me. the half lap one is so simple i cant believe ive never seen it before.
I envy your shelf. If only I could have these many cool tools

Good job stumpy you are the best
Best half-lap tip ever!
the cup is looking good.
I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.
That half lap tip is golden.
They are some good tips Stumpy. Thanks
Great, thank you for showing
There are also calculators, Inverse tan(rise/run)=angle. Make sure the calculator is in degrees, not radians
That first one, I use two slotted boards clamped to a stanley benchmate, works quite well.I have been meaning to replace the original boards, when I do one end will be rounded and one end slotted....
G'day James, cool mate. I especially like the draw jig, always a pain, lol. The framing square method is particularly appealing too and yep, they have a lotta uses for not much dough. Cheers Duke.
Fantastic tips, James! Thanks a lot! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks for all the tips and I really loved the Half Lap tip - so simple, yet amazing!! Also, glad you allowed us to use the tips during the week also! :)
#4 is priceless- I have some metal blocks from my apprenticeship for this purpose
This was a legit compilation of tips!
These are great. Keep up the good work.
These are all very useful tips! Thanks
Those are all solid tips, thanks
You know, I've never done any woodworking. But since I always dreamt of furnishing my living space with my own furniture, I have to do some in the future. And honestly, your channel is awesome for Information and you present everything in a way, that even I as a total outsider in the World of woodworking can understand it.

Go for it, buddy !!!
Some great tips! Even an old dog like me can learn new stuff. Thx
Oh wow, that box sanding jig is really smart.
Loved the half lap tip. So simple
For the love of woodworking, the learning never ends.
Thanks James. I want more! These are some of the most useful tips I have seen.
I was literally talking to my shop mates about #3 and #4 a few hours ago probably perfectly synced with the upload lol! thanks for the tips!
Thank you again, really enjoy watching you.
Appreciate the tips and especially the jig for planing boxes, very clever!
knew some but the rest were gems
Wow, good stuff, thanks for posting!!!
I was at a guys shop, and he had a varible control of speed on his grinding wheel. He said, "I'm not as young as I used to be, so I had to slow it down, so if make a mistake, I don't ruin my blade, and I don't have to worry about over heating them.

Great new tips and reminders. Now go have a cold one.
Yay! Get me another video!!!
Well enjoyable always watch a couple of times just to make sure I didn't miss something. Thank you from a uk 🇬🇧 shed husband
The best woodworking chanel.
Great grinding tip
