Thanks for examining the composition of plywood - very helpful. Loved the masking tape tip!

Any advice on cutting finger joints on the ends of long thin pieces?

[@nickupdated9981]

these are only straing cuts. What if I need to cut out round, oval or any other different shapes in the plywood? What tools are needed for this job? As I know there are only large table machine tool can do this.

Hi Nick Plywood to the rescue we will make a video for you showing you how you can create a plywood jig to cut round oval and other shapes in wood, we spoke about it a bit in our video do you even use plywood. We will make a full video for you with a step by step explanation

Thank you Louie

I'd be interested to see plywood cut with a hand saw, Alan. Just for those of us on a really tight budget.😀

Great Ian here is a video for you kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIHCnXyVlph5bNk

Does that Makita circular saw really cut down from the top?! I've never seen a handheld circular saw do that - they always rotate anti-clockwise as you look at the blade securing bolt. Would be very curious to know how they handle if they're backwards as it sounds like they'd be trying to lift themselves off the surface they're cutting that way around.

[@ohallifax]

Might have got the clockwise/anticlockwise backwards but you know what I mean - they always cut from the bottom up through the material to the plate of the saw.

Thanks for the informative breakdown on plywood cutting! Could you tell us the name and model of the small red battery operated saw? I love the fact that is is compact, not too expensive and easy to use.

It’s a black and decker multi-evo , great value for money tool

[@rorypennefather2954]

Great advice thanks Alan. I've had a terrible time with tear-out, so I'm keen to try some of the systems you have illustrated. Will the use of more saw teeth and masking tape apply to melamine? I'm trying to neaten up my cupboard making.

Best of luck!

Um? 🙃Which direction does the blade turn? 😁
