Just started plumbing about 6 months ago and the three main tools I have to step out of the truck with is a level, a pocket knife, and a tape measure. Thankful for videos like this that make learning something I wish I had known as a teenager.

How do we block a main drain line in case of EMP so as to avoid backflow of sewage into home?

Now we all know. Thqanks.

What's the purpose of the screw on the one leg footing?

I have the same saw... how the he'll do you see that line.. and you see how dangerous it is to lean behind the saw to see the line? Who freaking made these right blade saws and why tf left blade saws are almost nowhere to be found and are double the price....!?

So helpful. Got my screw with 30-year-old paint on it out easy-peasy. Thanks!

I was building a component at work and missed one of the 2-1/2" holes,it was done on a drill press, but now that the thing was assembled it was too big to get back on the drill press, I used a Mauwaukee "hole shooter" 1/2" drill, it was slow speed but it had a chuck large enoughfor the 1/2" shank multi spur bit I needed to use. I started slowly boring the hole thru the laminated 2 sheets of 3/4" with 1/2" apple ply, so it was 2" of ply to go thru, the way that drill was designed it had a switch that was not really a trigger switch but about 2 or maybe 3" long that when you held the drill maybe 3 fingers depressed it together. The multi spur bit jammed and the drill suddenly spun, well, with that stupid design it had- as it spun it didn't let me release the power switch right away, it didn't break my wrist but it hurt like heII and was probably very close to breaking the wrist. It was slow speed high torque, I think it's max speed was around 950 rpm which for a hole saw or in this case a multi spur bit- the speed is good- you dont h=want 2500 rpm on large cutters or bits! but the slow speed meant it had a LOT of torque!

Thanks a million, i just set up my very first table saw, and im quite terrified of it because we dont know what we dont know!

But it smells sooooo good 😊!!

There was a case of a couple who died from exposure to arsenic from cutting treated wood, because they built a whole house from treated wood and cut the wood even inside the house they kept going to the doctors for being sick but the couldn't understand why, till they died . I saw it in an old episode of mystery diagnosis long time ago. Back when arsenic was used .

if you mix poison with wood filer, they stop drilling holes in that spot i like playing badminton with them

As a time-served Bench Joiner, we used to flip timber or sheets on the cirrcular saw too. But, we used to turn the blade off before removing the timber. This allowed safe handling of the material and also mean there was no spinning blade to further damage the timber. It takes a few seconds, but it''s better than having 4 and a half fingers!

Who's nailing down decking boards????

I'm a DIYer, I own a circular saw. I utilize everyting he said. I don't want my fingers cut for any reason. I'm so afraid of this saw which is why I treat it with so much respect and utilize all he said. It's just plain common sense. I can't believe that such a video of common sense has to be made, but sadly, common sense is not so common. Stay safe out there. These are great tips!

I'm going to call Mr. Magloo. He will take care of the problem. Epoxy"

I ordered that wrech off Amazon…mine is locked up tight. 😐

What if we sand the whole fence before staining? Is that enough? My fence is half the size, much smaller sqft.

what model is the table saw behind you sir

When it comes to flip ripping one could make it safer by just shutting the saw off at the half way point.

Home inspections are like getting a physical from a doctor. There is only so much they can uncover. But when you consider that $150/hr is what a licensed plumber or an electrician will charge, a quality home inspection can save a homeowner untold sums.

Just because someone has worked on building homes doesn't mean they did their job right or well. Carpentry, the main aspect of an inspection is not a licensed profession.

Aaand they just changed code from anything you just said. Go go gadget government 😂 oh plus you need to use every single fastener possible, with wood, concrete and steel beams for extreme safety. Can never be too much safety.

Good reporting software categorizes flaws as being major or minor.

I just took a pre-licensing course in Illinois which consisted of 60 classroom hours and five practice inspections. I don't feel like I have stratched the surface of what I need to know.

In Illinois inspectors cannot work on the homes they inspect until a year has passed.

Thank you. Your tips are always superb. Thank you again. God[Bible] Bless.

Interesting (and excellent) video with very relevant analysis included. The video should probably viewed more than one time in order to fully appreciate all its content. Many thanks.

Awesome video. As a long time DIYer, I had acquired some epoxy coated deck screws for a deck repair job, and have really liked them and got more of them. Good to know you like them as well!

I won't get within twelve inches of the blade (that's when push sticks come into play). I do flip rips regularly by holding the far portion with my hand and depressing the near one with a push stick . That ensures that the material is being both pulled through and pushed down at all times. I tend to slow it down to a crawl when reaching the end. I'm a very very safety conscious person (masking up, headset, and gloves nearly at all times when indoors) and have not seen any reason to be concerned about this approach.

I liked that gravity assisted cutting and also the trick of turning a 4x4 iteratively: those are not dangerous and look to be working well.

This is an awesome video. I've done a moderate amount of skilsaw work: maybe a couple hundred cuts of varied types. But I have not been confident *at all* about free cuts: for cuts demanding precision I have instead relied on clamped guides. This video has brought up many great tips including: (1) getting the cut started perfectly (2) giving about 1/4" opening (3) keeping your eyes directly on the cut line (and not on the v-cut guide) (4) getting the blade completely up to speed before entering the cut (5) leaving the saw on the exact spot if you need to stop it for a moment (and backing up 1/4" before starting again) (6) allowing 1/4" inch of blade below the cut (I sometimes did less) (7) cut through the line (but I guess more towards the kerf side?)

Would you take a look at my user-friendly tape measure design and give me some feedback please? kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipSbh6d_rb-ol8U Thanks, Joe

Not helpful

Both. I use pallets but have never heard of cull wood so I’ll check that out too

I use my multitool mostly for cutting thick cardboard boxes at home, with blade turned 90 degrees to the left and cutting those large boxes from top to bottom,

There is no gravitational force acting on the board, it's just density. Good video though.

You forgot the coolest trick. Stanley tapemeasures are made exactly 3" wide so you can measure between two inside corners without bending the tape, just lock it, read the tape and then add 3".

Great video

hiibb

Lol, no brainer, get a tank.

Good stuff! I'm 72 and this is my first real experince with a circular saw.

Very helpful, thanks!

You are buying plywood at HD... good luck matching my price on 3/4 and finding a flat sheet of 1/2 finish grade..

thank you...

What if it is hollowed?

Avesome idea! I’m looking to hook a headboard to the wall as I can’t attach it to my bed.

Pock marking your surfaces, where it can be done, will give some mechanical adhesion in addition to the gluing.

First time mounting a TV hiding the wires, but I wanted to do as much research I can before digging in ny drywall. I’ve came to accept that ima have to make another hole to get through the horizontal fire beam thing. I was gonna buy that mud thankfully you put me into the spackle. Highly appreciate it

We had one of these in my woodshop back when I was in highschool, loved using this thing. But a kid did cut the tip of his finger off on one, was a wild day in class.

Do you think cordless saw is better for beginner diyers?
