Dang, that little tip on take a 64th and a 64th is awesome… and I would never (in a million lug-head years) ever have been practical to think of doing so. Million dollar tip of knowledge. Thanks from me and my son! Love learning new stuff.
The tip taking off a 64th was so smart. If both lap joints are the same size, why not cut them at the same time? I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos.
Fantastic tips, Jon! Thanks a lot! 😃 I need to show your video for my father tomorrow morning! To show the difference the blades make, because of a project he wants to make! Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Appreciate the video Jon. I wondered if there should be some accounting for glue volume within lap joints when setting up for cuts. I have had a perfectly flush dry fit on religious crosses that I've started building and end up with a proud appearance on both sides after glue up. Thanks again.
Great demo, Jon~! I like the trick of ripping the thinnest slice off of the opposite side of the notch to make the faces flush. Great tip~!! Don't know if you've ever tried this one, but I'm practicing with a new joint of my own: the castle (or Shiro) joint. We saw the ad for the bed frame that uses them (Thuma) and I'm taking on constructing my own. I'm using some crazy expensive 2-by as well to do the mock up (practice) before tackling the hardwood. Looking at either Walnut or Cherry for the bed frame. Can't wait to see how this turns out~!
Now those were excellent tips and tricks Jon! I also like the fact that lap joints are very strong & stable joints when done correctly. Great video! Thanks...... 👍👍👏👏
Oh hey this gives me an idea for building cube/cubby storage. If you alternate vertical and horizontal (and don't care if the shelves are slats instead of sheets) you could make a grid of cubbies without any cutting at all (like a tic tac toe hash).
4:10 clearly this is a faked video … in a real video the carpenter drops the nut into the sawdust below the saw. At least twice. Also, no swearing. And, he turned the nut the right direction the first time.

I would have thought of it, and promptly taken the 64th off the wrong edge.
Great tips Jon! Thanks for taking the time to do this video!!!
Hello Mr Peters! Greetings from Nicaragua. God bless you always.
Great idea on shaving the 64th. I might also consider doing the last method on all lap joints instead of trying to nibble out the cuts.
hello Sir im from philippines.i have a lot of things learned from you about wood the working.thank you Sir

Hey Jon thanks for the lesson my request is can you also show how to make this joint using Sheet Ply or MDF for example like for shelvings
Excellent procedure tips! It really made me laugh when you said "OK, that wasn't supposed to happen..."
Great info, Jon. Thanks.
Bill
Interesting. I didn't remember the 'building' of the lap joint for the round Lilly table--this was a good refresher.
Great, well paced tutorial!
Thanks Jon. I always learn something from you.
I love these videos! Great learning from someone with such skills, and a professional!

Clever... that last trim was very helpful.
excellent tutorial. Thanks Jon!
Great info.
To set the width you can use an off cut set against your stop block. Make the 1st cuts and then remove the off cut.
Great video... again!!!
Thanks Gary!
Great as usual thanks Jon
Very nice advice thank you
Taking me back to high school💓😊
Awesome video, thanks!
@@wpphili thanks! Appreciate the good feedback 👍
Good stuff john
Great video !
Great video Jon...🤘🤘🤘
Great tip

Vertical and horizontal 2x2's I mean.
well done. im looking into making a pantry shelving unit with 1x8's, about 48" x 66", hoping this might be doable.
Thank you Jon. Amateurs like me always wonder if a lap joint is a good thing or not.
If both pices are the same length, why would you not have cut them together? Half as much work?
Do not be scared of hand tool wood working. It is not as time consuming or as hard as people think.
Would you call these half lap joints, or cross lap joints?
4:10 clearly this is a faked video … in a real video the carpenter drops the nut into the sawdust below the saw. At least twice. Also, no swearing. And, he turned the nut the right direction the first time.
😂 I’ve done that too
Why not using a kerf maker or a table saw blade thickness shim
People should experiment and use hand tools along side machines.
@@Art-is-craft he used table saw not hand tools in this video
Why don’t you just use a kerf maker? They’re very precise!
I see why the un-intentional perfect fit happened; your stop block is held by a SPRING CLAMP!! (just a little too much of a BUMP, and whoops! -miscut)
Jon, I was taught to call this a cross halving joint ... 🤔
This guy's neck makes pro wrestler's necks jealous.
😂😂😂
and you are doing all this being allergic to pine. I know a hero when I see one.
