My head is going to explode . I'm just going to pay someone to do it.

I must be using the Collins thing wrong, cuz I hate using it

How is this a calibration? You haven't calibrated anything. Shouldn't the point of the video be to rectify a badly calibrated saw?

*Predicts we'd all have pocket laser measuring devices --- fast forward 20 years and turns out Gary Katz was right about that too.

As a new carpenter your videos are invaluable Gary, thank you very much A question: what to do if the existing jamb/wall is considerably out of plumb? Enough that the door would open/close due to gravity. Install the hinges plumb and have the door out of wind with the jamb? Thanks

Excellent video. I haven't seen anything produced more recently that takes the time to go into this level of detail and with this level of clarity. I would have bought the DVD set back in the day! It's funny, around 27-28 minutes, I noticed you were an inch short on your measurement and I was shocked until I realized you did it intentionally to make a point 😅

Love this man. You could tell he’s a good guy. It comes across in his instruction.

Best video on this.

Gary where can I find a door hook like you have in this video?

Your cousins bench is sweet

Wow!!!!??? I’m in love.

I’m still loving my SS after 12-13 years of use. Buy once, cry once!

Thank you 🙂🙂🙂. I just needed to see the machine in order to go to the local hardware store to ask for it. This was perfect.

How do you put J channel a round a Round window

I assume you are going for 12 bursts.

Best rafter video ever!!❤🎉

I don't know why he is subtracting the whole inch and half off the rafter length for the ridgeboard up top if the centre of ridge is centre of the span ,it should be half the thickness of the ridge board three quarters??

Larry and Joe left an indelible mark of goodness on this world no one could dispute. So awesome to see them in action even in their senior years …

great, old school carpenter work!

When diagonal measuring in confirming squaring to the placement in the building's window hole, how does that work if you are measuring off the kiddy corners in a factory framed window?

I don't think my guy did 1/10 of this.

First rain windows leaking 😂😂😂😅

Red Flag! The tool belt. Never trust a carpenter who’s tool belt isn’t broken in and ratty. 😂.

Great video

Why did you eliminate the channels for door sweep???

Honda and Robin are the two best small engine makers imo nothing rivals Japanese engineering.

I would also like to add a huge thanks Gary. Im on door number 5 and even my dumb ass actually cut and installed the very first one perfectly. You are a fantastic teacher, man!!

So glad to see you again! I just rewatched your door hinge adjustment this weekend to adjust a door. Thanks!

Hey! I have an older super split I picked up used and dead and rebuilt everything. I put a 7hp Robin motor on it and the thing splits faster than I can keep up with, I absolutely love it and couldn’t live without it! I love that it’s made in the US and I can easily still get parts for it also, they’re a great company. BTW your pre hung door installation and hinge adjustment videos have been an immense help to me recently, they’re extremely well done and easy to follow. I just want to say thank you!! Enjoy your Super Split, it’s a beauty!🙌🏻

It's a beautiful tool, too bad Americans forgot how to make those engines - it's worrisome. We need to make America great again.

Great video! Is that the Model J or the HD model? We’ve been looking for one. If it’s good enough for you, ifs good enough for me!

Oh how nice to see you ❤❤ missed your dearly. Hope to see you more in here. 👍👍👍

This are awesome and fast

I drank some of the green kool-aid recently myself, I’ll definitely be going back for more

Yeap, keepit up.

Great to see you again :)

Thank you! I have watched so many videos on this topic. This is the first one that explains the HAP measurement and how it affects the placement of the ridge beam. So many other videos will cut an arbitrary size of birds mouth and do not tell you the implications it has.

Just read the write-up. Amazing stuff. Where did you find how to do all of this? And do you offer courses?

Do you offer course anywhere? I'm in Canada but will travel anywhere in the USA to learn more. Getting serious about handrails. I have a background in mechanical engineering technology from 20 years ago but need refreshers on the CAD aspect and hoping to get hands on carving as well. Great video, thank you!

I feel so stupid from all the years I made excuses for not being able to produce perfect cuts on irregular circumstances where I should have been able to correct the problem. God forgive me. I get it now ! Don’t ever think you know it all because you don’t. We can all learn something beneficial everyday if we just pay attention and look for the lesson that might come our way

I will definitely save this video. It troubleshooting my biggest problem I have incurred in my life of installing crown.

The video was incredible. You remind me of Norm from this old house or the new Yankees workshop. That’s all I had to go by except books back in the 80’s. I get most of everything you’re doing but you had valuable tricks that clicked in my brain making a huge difference how I proceed from here. I’m never too old to learn. I wish everyone could say the same. I’m definitely not too proud to say I’ve been doing it for 40 years the wrong way. Not entirely wrong because I’ve had good results however I could have been better.

I can’t believe you surpassed my favorite trim carpenter. I’ll be sending people your way. I promise 😉

Always measure before you cope !

I’d still challenge you against my hand coping saw 😂

Bravo again and again this video just got better and better. Why doesn’t someone invent a lighter tool for coping rather than a jigsaw

What a fantastic video. I’ll be referencing frequently. Thank you

I’ve hand coped my whole life. I’ll have to try this coping foot

40 years ago I dreamt of inventing a motor coping saw. Didn’t imagine this type though

I like a double cope twice in a square room for tight joints. Just my preference
