I appreciate you. Growing up without a father can be tough, not being able to learn these kind of things. You teach me things I feel like I should have learned 20 years ago

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Glad to help...

Ditto bro, 32 here haven’t seen my dad in 16 years I’ve learned everything about my truck and house thanks to KZbin.

Same here bro. KZbin is a lifesaver

Now this is a proper "How To" video. Straight to the point, no frills and jargon. Very informative and useful for someone like me who bought my first jigsaw yesterday and not knowing the first thing about using it. All I know is, it can cut wood in curves. Well done and thanks for sharing.

Did this video help you?

[@TwoRiversFarm707]

The only thing I REALLY needed to learn was how to insert the blades.

[@idiotwithpc]

Exactly , I watched a video that’s half an hour long and was way less informative than this

[@acolon4617]

On point, no jibber-jabber, straight instruction, clear examples and advice. Great job! Thank you for taking time out your busy day to share your skill and knowledge. God Bless. 🙏🏽

[@jack-a-dack4881]

Being a 71 year old woman, I was never really taught how to use a lot of wood working tools. I have learned some things along the way and enjoy working with wood. My husband passed in 2015 and he had a LOT of tools. I kept most all of them and have since learned how to use most of them. I have recently demoed a shed that was overrun by bees and critter shinanigans. You're tool instruction videos have helped me in learning how to use my tools properly, to demo and down the shed. I even used a come along to topple it over, once I eliminated the 2 long walls; leaving only the 2 X 4 frame. It is so satisfying to be able to use the tools I have, with confidence and safety to finish this huge project. Thank you for your channel! I'll be watching more of them, I'm sure!

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Thank you for commenting and sharing a small piece of your life with me. I'm happy that my content is helping. Be sure to comment on other videos if you have questions... the more the better. :)

[@jacquelinegreen7796]

What a beautiful comment and I second the sentiment. I'm nearly 60, have had a jigsaw for a while but scared to try it out. I will now though as I've a couple of projects for it. I'm not demolishing anything, I'll leave that to you professionals, but it is exciting to look forward to doing another job correctly. Thank you and I'll keep watching now I've found you.

This is one of the BEST tool videos EVER. The content was perfect for me (about to use a jigsaw for the first time), his voice is very clear, the filming is spot on. THANK YOU.

[@justcuz9837]

New to wood working/ carpentry, Im purely self taught and need all the info I can soak in. I was given an older Porter Cable and know nothing about using it. Your video gave me exactly the info and instruction I needed. Thank you for your time and dedication to being thorough!

[@BrokenHeartedVS]

I already knew a lot about the jigsaw, but I needed to brush up on my knowledge of it because it'd been years since I'd touched one. This video was perfect and was exactly what I was looking for. Straight to the point, extremely informative, and the man teaching the basics had a way of keeping your attention with his confidence in the tool. Thank you!

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Hi Amber, my name is Josh. Thank you for commenting!

[@jackierostow9537]

I like your style. You're straightforward and smart. I understand so much already. Someone gave me a jigsaw and I'm dying to use it. Thanks!

[@rogeliojr.sarmiento6738]

This is a great, straight forward,easy to understand video. Thank you very much. I totally agree with all of the positive comments you have received so far.

[@debbiew.7716]

Thank you for the simple tutorial and warnings! LOL Though I had experience in a school workshop many years ago and have watch others use power tools, I have decided now is the time to invest in my own. I am a Grandma with a young Grandson who does not have a male figure in his life. I have a great desire to teach him as many life skills as I can. My Dad would be so proud! Last year we took up fishing, this year we are building some small projects! A refresher before I plug these things in is super great. Safety glasses...think ahead...Check:)

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Thank you so much for your comment Debbie! I am here for you!

[@deanoh6414]

May not have a father figure but he has one hell of a grandmother figure ! You are given your grandson what money can't but.. the love of family. He will do well in life.

[@briancross6726]

good luck with everything. Kids need occupying in their formative years wether its taking up a sport (my 3 were, and still are into football and boxing) or learning how to work with their hands. Iwish you all the best from England

[@mkilty6971]

Thank you for being a professional and well-spoken. I'm using a jigsaw on wainscoting and cutting out a rectangle for an outlet

[@TheUltimateBlue]

Excellent. Straight to the point and everything relevant. No turning 30 seconds of info into a drawn out 5 minute bore. Thank you.

[@FranciscoGarcia-pv7qr]

Starting from scratch. Building up a pretty nice tool inventory. I should have everything ready to go by August. Ill be practicing and studying till then. Glad I found this. You picked up a fan here. You obviously really want to teach. Well I'm here to learn. Thanks for your effort and time.

[@hassanahmed9496]

At first I was like go on then i've used a jigsaw all my life but I might learn something and I did! choosing the right blade is very important I never thought about it before. Thank you.

[@user-kp6xf4gf7t]

I have a 1983 Sears-Craftsman Jigsaw that has a cool feature: You can turn the blade while you’re cutting for easy scroll cuts. The blade turning separately from the saw is also awesome as you don’t have to turn the entire saw. (Model 315.10723)

[@derosamarie999]

Execellent video .....Im not scared anymore on how to use this tool ..thanks a million blue eyes

[@jamesporter4749]

10/10 video mate. I wish more people making videos got more straight to the point like this video.

[@abunaylah405]

I love your explanations. Straight forward to the point.

[@wulipondcatforeverwild3156]

Thank you, sir. Thank you very much. I need to cut a vent hole on a plywood, for my floor AC. The guy I so politely requested to help me out with this hasn’t responded. Well then, I shall have to do it myself! It is good to be self- reliant, but be sure you know what you’re doing, and be safety conscious. I am no stranger to small power tools ( I have a small cordless miter saw and small cordless circular saw from Ryobi, and of course, have the power screw/impact driver). But my experience is very limited. So I always check in on available training or refresher courses. So, after this video I’ll get me a jigsaw and get on with my tiny project. Thank you, again!

Thanks, really helpful and I guess a vital addition the the printed instructions that came with the jigsaw that I'm about to use for the first time. Previously I've only ever used the hand powered, old and very slow jigsaws that my father used to make jigsaw puzzles.

Love the honesty. In the beginning of my framing life, I cut through things with a sawzall or circular saw a few times, that were under the piece I was focused on. It only takes a couple "oops" and you start to think and plan ahead. Great "to-the-point" on topic video. Thanks!
