I normally don't like hacks but yours are fantastic!

[@willyzook]

Hi Colin! I hope you realize what a tremendous help you are to people like myself. You give so many great tips, and you're very good at explaining everything! And as a side note, you have a fantastic personality! Thank you, sir!

[@jc4givs564]

I love the story board! Can't believe I never thought of it. I guess that's why you're the master and we're the students. 👍

[@pndamonium1241]

I love this Zero clearance “insert” hack. It can only be described as BEAUTIFUL. Thank you!.

[@jameslamm9315]

Thanks for your videos I’m 76 and a new wood worker, about 10 months in, I have improved so much just watching your videos, and yes, I still have all 10finger

[@ulrichfroehlich4707]

I'm over 60 and my dad when I was very young always made me help him do stuff. I was always excited when he didn't have what he need so I could stop helping and go play. Unfortunately for me like you and my dad had to learn to make something from nothing he always some how came back with a solution. I don't think we think in those simple problem solving solutions anymore. Best safest thin strip I've seen.

[@StamosTee]

This was among the most useful 8 minutes I've spent on KZbin so far. Many thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@knecht105]

You're welcome, Stamatis! Thanks for watching.

[@jimmckelvey459]

I found your idea about repetitive cutting of same-width pieces to be awesome! Thanks for the other great ideas as well!

[@MeansWoodshop]

The story board is a great tip. I really like the method for cutting repeated thin strips too, I’m always cutting thin strips for a lot of my projects

[@knecht105]

Hope it helps! Thanks for watching!

[@neco777777]

Love the thin strip alternative method of using "the other side" of the fence. Thanks for sharing!

[@mikeplunkett2041]

I always learn when I watch your videos. Thank you Colin.

[@zootcst]

I have an ancient, beat down, and broken old job saw that I have been trying to figure out how to do a zero clearance insert on. You nailed it. Thanks!

[@knecht105]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@jeffbavely2416]

I just retired and want to do more wood working. I've learned a LOT just by watching a couple of your videos. Thanks!

[@knecht105]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@johnvodopija]

I like coming back to these tips. Great stuff. Thank you 👍😎🇦🇺

[@Uncle_Buzz]

Story board... brilliant! Good stuff Colin. Cheers, Chris.

[@knecht105]

Thank You, CrossWood!

[@bluegill2030]

I made a story board today!!! That thing is AWESOME!!!! Saves so much time now

[@Jamestheterrible]

I just have to say, this is my first view of your channel. I am just starting to get interested in home woodworking as I come from a family of pretty impressive carpenters. I love how quickly you get into the "meat" of your videos, and how you don't waste time on needless opinions. It's all very helpful and succinct. Thank you.

[@alext9067]

Pretty ingenious stuff. All good ideas. Sliding the thin sheet of wood along is genius. And the storyboard is terrific. Glad I saw this. Need to write these things down.

[@goodairin]

This is the second time I have received good ideas from you that I use in my shop. So, this time ... THANKS !

[@AndrewMcQuillen]

Agreed Adrian. Storyboard idea is awesome. Some other gems in there too Colin. Thanks as always for sharing out your wisdom.

[@knecht105]

You're Welcome, Andrew!

[@grantadamson3478]

I'm always looking for good ideas but it's rare to find simple, logical and easy to use tips. You managed to do it. Thank you.

[@bobg1315]

As a new woodworker, I have been watching a LOT of videos. While many are helpful, Colin’s quick hacks are quick, to the point, and very helpful. Thanks and keep them coming.

[@knecht105]

You're Welcome, Bob!

[@bryankirk3567]

You are a Gentleman and a Scholar! You never cease to amaze me. Thank you.

[@knecht105]

[@MrKly123]

Love the story board idea! Thanks!

[@TheAussiePirate]

Colin you never fail to educate, entertain and elucidate. Thank you so much!

[@knecht105]

Thank You, Carl!

[@thestime]

GREAT tips my friend. Got a slightly older Craftsman table saw and it's got the worst throat plate design ever. Not even close to being flush with the top of the table and huge gaps abound. This video was exactly what I needed. Love the thin board on top idea. Thanks!

[@louislandi938]

Thank you! Absolutely super lesson. I think we will all be making story boards!

[@ITWorksSoftware]

I'm am just starting to use a table saw and that story board tip was phenomenal! Thank you!! 🖖😘

[@gholmes182]

Genius, brilliant ideas… thanks Colin.

[@captainsawdust8935]

The beauty of these hacks is in the simplicity. Absolutely genius! Thank you.

[@NorthVanDukeOfDirt]

Great suggestions, as always, Colin. I particularly liked the storyboard and the epoxy for renewing the zero clearance insert. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@TommyT888]

love the tip about epoxy for new zero clearance. I'm going to try that tomorrow!

[@stevenkonwent7213]

Such awesome tips! My dad was a craftsman, carpenter, woodworker genius. Did amazing stuff, but unfortunately did not pass this skill and kraft down to me so thank you for these inspirational videos. I won't make the same mistakes with my kids.

[@michaelbradford4444]

I make my splines the width of my blade and now I can do that safely and accurate using your trick , TY !

[@ascott6804]

When your good, your good!! Great tips!

[@flyingwoodshop1545]

Nice Colin. I liked the one where you clamped the scrap on the opposite side of the fence and used a thin strip as a spacer. Great idea!

[@knecht105]

Thank You!

[@tannerbeverley26]

THANK YOU for making original tips that no one else has really hit on!

[@knecht105]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching.

[@jonathanpopp3529]

A+ for the story board and thin strip cutting ideas, thank you!

[@knecht105]

Hope it helps! Thanks for watching!

[@marcoroose9973]

I very much liked the idea of the story board. Definitely something I will use! Thanks a lot!

[@knecht105]

You're welcome!

[@lawrencep5427]

Colin....you have put out great videos with terrific and practical woodworking advice. Thank you!

[@knecht105]

You're Welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@Jleitte]

Outstanding video! Thanks for adding great content for my table saw.

[@ericserafim7954]

You nailed it Sr. Thanks for sharing!

[@nathancd]

Great ideas! I know I’ll never remember them, hopefully one will stick with me.

[@FormerlyKnownAsAndrew]

Thank you for this video. I have a beginners 10 inch Ryobi table saw that I bought a few years ago when I was getting into woodworking. I really don't like using it because the fence system absolutely horrendous. I like the storyboard idea. I used to cut strips of wood to use as quick spacers between the saw blade and fence but your method makes a lot more sense. It allows for many common measurements on a single piece of wood. I was thinking about rebuilding the table saw fence system. I bought the wood online today but after seeing this video I might not need to.

[@joeabad5908]

Got wiser after a few minutes of watching this video.. Thank you for sharing

[@WPGinfo]

The storyboard tip is very helpful indeed!

[@jredmmoore]

Outstanding tips. Really enjoy these quick hitter tricks!

[@rwbishop]

For mixing Epoxy: I cut the sides out of empty plastic milk jugs and use those for mixing on. No big advantage for clear epoxy, but for JB Weld and the like, incomplete mix swirls can be easily viewed through the bottom. Once cured, flexing the mix 'sheet' a little will pop off the remaining epoxy, leaving a clean sheet for next time.

[@knecht105]

Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching!

[@sandyhunter6141]

Thanks Colin. I'm a newbie and a woman luv your channel luv the story board idea....I've only got a cheap table saw and am building a new fence... I've failed 3 times but practice makes perfect. .😆

[@SomethingFromTheShed]

Goodmorning sir. Im a bit of a novice at this woodworking thing and decided about 3 months ago that im going to take it very seriusly as a hobby. The story board youade is awsome and since im only a novice i have have a basic cheap table saw so i had to make a new fence for it. Put a new blade on it and now im going to make a story board. Thank you so much for showing us this. Its going to make my life a lot easier.

[@knecht105]

Hope it helps! Thanks for watching!

[@bishoptyandbetsytice]

Awesome.....you have become my "GO TO" when as a newbie I can't figure out what to do. Thanks a million!!!!

[@georgigoranov4445]

Storyboard looks amazing ngl.

[@RayCollins-dv4ts]

Impressive and creative solutions. Old video with timeless help.

[@PIANOSTYLE100]

[@DanJoy07]

Very good stuff! Each was well thought out and very well demonstrated. Been woodworking over 45 years, You provided very useful tips here! Thanks.

[@paulfurry9447]

Been a winter of having puppies but getting close to being ready to start on spring projects and watching a few of your videos is pretty good way to get me excited. Enjoy your advice and only wish you was closer so I could visit Great tips as usual and Thank You

[@knecht105]

You're welcome, Paul! Thanks for watching.

[@MrMarkpeggy]

Thanks for the great tips Colin! I really appreciate your efforts.

[@knecht105]

You're Welcome, Mark!

[@ryan421sbc]

Colin you are awesome! Thanks for sharing

[@whateverthisis3929]

That storyboard idea! This is going to help me out a lot. Thanks!

[@NathanNostaw]

Normally I have an issue with most channel hack tips, but these are handy tips. Some not as handy as others, but all are very useful depending on the features of your saw. Thanks for the video.

[@tvanloon3995]

Thanks Colin! Those were some of the best tips I’ve seen anywhere!

[@knecht105]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@woodburyben]

Excellent tips that I've never come across before. Thanks for sharing!

[@knecht105]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@marcusfowler139]

Thanks for this. Hacks for a cheap table saw works miracles.

[@GraemePayne1967Marine]

Very interesting, even for we who do not have a table saw. For example, the storyboard for setting fence position for cuts. I can use that method when setting up rip cuts on my radial arm saw. The only difference is that the fence is fixed and it is the blade that is moved to position.

[@knecht105]

Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching!

[@OrlandoORC]

As always, great tips Colin. Thank you!

[@krn14242]

Thanks Colin. Love the storyboard idea.

[@knecht105]

You're Welcome. Thanks for watching!

[@pathardage1880]

You have just saved me so much work. Thank you.

[@johnvodopija]

Really clever and useful tips. I bought my first table saw today and will be using these for sure. The story board is genius! Thank you 🙏

[@jameslamm9315]

John I’m too

[@michaelleas]

That storyboard idea rocks!

[@knecht105]

Thank you!

[@eketelon]

These tips are awesome! Thanks I started using 2 of them right away.

[@knecht105]

You're welcome. Thanks for watching!

[@kathleenbasieiwcz4636]

Thanks for the tips, especially the story board one.

[@knecht105]

You're welcome, Kathleen! Thanks for watching.

[@charlieodom9107]

I really like the storyboard idea. In my case, it would prove very handy, as I don't have a fence and have to manually setup a straight edge each time I want to cut something.

[@cletusrobinson]

You are certainly a Wizard With Wood!

[@carlroberts2029]

Excellent teacher. I have learned a lot watching his videos.

[@knecht105]

Thank You, Carl!

[@GeorgeCooper_LoneWolf]

Out of all the Table saw tip videos I have watched ( this is the best ) some really great tips.

[@knecht105]

Thank You!

[@COLDB33R]

Here's another idea. Cut your storyboard to such a width that you can make slots that are 1", 2", 3" and so on from one edge. Flip it over, and the SAME slots are 1½", 2½", 3½, and so on from the opposite edge. FYI, this is not from years of experience. I replaced all the 40-year-old aluminum windows in my house with modern high-efficiency vinyl windows a while back and needed a table saw to do the trim work. So I bought my first table saw earlier today. Your tips are GREAT! and will save me a lot of time. Thanks.

[@joeh5059]

Very good tips Colin Thank you Joe H.

[@knecht105]

You're Welcome!

[@letsRegulateSociopaths]

that "story" board is a great idea!

[@rpnp2]

Never thought about a story board for the table saw b4... good idea and going to try that epoxy trick

[@robbysearle]

Clever, clever, clever. Greatest tips ever! Well done Colin and thanks for sharing. 😊

[@armus550b]

The story board for those of us with cheap saws is brilliant

[@philackerly3174]

Thank You Colin. Great tips!

[@knecht105]

You're Welcome, Phil!

[@andrewk-majordochomerepair6014]

Great new tips I haven't seen before. I had been considering purchasing the Rockler thin strip rip jig as being less expensive than making my own that fits into my mitre slot, but only having a jobsite Dewalt table saw, I've found the slot ISN'T machines the same width off by 1/64" to 1/32" - this makes making runners either too loose or too tight. The other issue is that is is slightly oversided for 3/4" so standard locking mitre bars are too loose (need to add tape). Simply using a long board on the opposite side of the fence with a "sample" width piece you want your thin strips to be and to be consistent solves all that other hassle and expense. Also super tip on refurbishing a home made zero clearance insert.

[@xyloidify]

Good ideas, thanks Colin!

[@knecht105]

You're welcome, Steven!

[@52memor]

Colin that's such a good idea ... Many Many Thanks from the UK

[@bobgordy7209]

Love your videos-OLD but still learning!

[@luchism6283]

Great stuff! For mixing epoxy I use 3 oz disposable bathroom water cups and popsicle sticks.

[@mikec2810]

Great tips again Colin! I really like the storyboard,thanks.

[@knecht105]

You're Welcome! Thanks for watching, Mike!
