Shannon, some may think your channel doesn't have the professional edge like This Old House, or Home Renovision DIY, but I've got to tell you your videos are so much more interesting to watch. You're a guy who knows what he's doing, and the way you break things down to the camera makes it easy for your watchers to follow along and understand. You pass on the tips and tricks you've learned through the years and the techniques you use just make sense. You've no doubt helped more people than you know. HouseImprovements puts Bob Vila, Matt Risinger, and all those other guys to shame. Please keep doing what you're doing and thank you for dedicating so much of your time to post these videos!

Dude you are the best at demonstrating what your video containing. You are not long winded you get right to the point. I immediately hit that subscribe button. OMG, your video is a breath of fresh air. I have tried to watch other videos about the same thing and usually after a minute I just close the video because the people usually go on and on about everything else which feels forever before they get to the point, BRAVO

Snip is the worse. It cracked my piece all the way up.

[@Maxid1]

Nice thing about the snips and the knife is you get those impressive Popeye forearms thrown in for free!

[@billtmarchi4320]

Here is my take. Years ago i was siding a couple sheds i built. I happened to have one of those school hand powered paper cutters. That have a long curved sharpened blade with a handle, thats on a spring that you use like a shear or scissor. On a square base with a built in straight edge and measuring lines etc. Works great. Usa a saw horse or 2 and set the cutter up. And where ever you need the cut, you slap it down against the built in edge and scissor the paper cutter blade down and it cuts siding real easy. I always wondered what pros use. No electric needed or anything. Portable handy easy cuts like butter. (The edges can be tough if not real sharp)

Did my garage years ago and this helps a lot to bring back some of the ways I used. So now I can start a small patch job with more confidence.

[@notyourboy4476]

Malco MV12 snips! Grinder or oscillating tool for below around -20C not counting wind chill. We do only use factory edges for visible edge in seams though so no need for cleanest cuts. Snips for technical cuts, cold or not.

If you put blade in backwards on your circular saw why not do it on your miter saw.

[@danmarion145]

The only reason why I turn the blade backwards on the chop saw mitre saw is the speed. If you don't flip the blade over you have to go real slow. I ain't got time for that!

[@Ne3M1]

Thank you for this video, your cutting techniques might seem obvious to you but to me (first time working with vinyl siding) this is gold. Thanks.

[@steverMCMLIV]

Thank you very much for helping me realize I needed to make a little jig, which quickly led to making my porch renovation so much easier and better!

[@mikechiodetti4482]

Thank you for the saw tips and how to make clean cuts. Definitely a keeper video!

[@xcrewchief1]

Replaced a piece of damaged siding yesterday. Just for quickness’s sake, I used an oscillating tool. Quick, straight cut which was pretty clean. Great video!

[@checkitworkshop]

Thanks for this video! I know it may not be rocket science... but for a beginner with vinyl siding it totally helps. Shooting videos / editing / etc. is not an easy task also. Appreciate your time!

[@oldpathsbaptistministries7904]

Great video! Putting the blade in backwards on the circular saw works well for cutting steel siding panels as well. I actually roofed and sided a garage using this method.

[@bryanderksen4448]

Nice job with the shop-built track saw.

[@Bob1Mack]

Thanks. I have a mess of scraps I have to cut up to dispose of, and this will make it a lot easier.

[@huejanus5505]

Thanks for taking the time to make this video (your other ones too). Lots of great tips, tricks and good building practices.

[@tomrluther]

Good job! Thanks for sharing.

You're a damn good man Shannon.
