Do you have another source for those Safety Glasses? Who makes them? The link doesn't work.

[@roncostas2223]

Your videos are great I learned so much ty

[@harveysburger]

Hey, the safety glasses + ear plugs link is broken. It says the product is no longer active

[@jonathanoakey4745]

This is the sort of video that KZbin was made for. Perfectly executed and chock full of useful and interesting information!

[@johnduffy6546]

Thank you, Stumpy. Of all your videos I have watched, this one gave me the most confidence! I am still new to the table saw and I want very much to keep all my digits and to be able to confidently use my saw for its' intended purposes.

[@Noone-of-your-Business]

I was an idiot to every use my table saw before discovering this channel. Your videos should be mandatory watching for every home improver! Thank you a thousand times for setting me straight while I still have all my fingers! _Going to the workshop to build myself an auxiliary fence for my miter gauge._

[@UncleSarkis]

There are a few people on KZbin that I trust when giving advice on KZbin, Stumpy Nubs is one of them.

[@413DaveRN]

This series is so good, it should be required viewing for anyone with a table saw!

6:35 - "a dumb mistake that a surprising number of folks make". Yeah, that would be me. Just before Thanksgiving, I almost lost the end of my right index finger reaching over the blade to move an offcut. 8 weeks with it almost totally immobile and protecting it like gold since. The skin is nearly 100% healed and I don't see stars every time I brush up against something. I was incredibly lucky - no nerve, tendon or bone damage. Can't bend it at the last knuckle anymore, but I'm lucky I still have a finger, and I'll always have the scar to remind me not to be so stupid! First project (after I check the 8 things in your latest video) is to build the auxiliary miter sled in this video! I've watched this whole series a number of times. Thorough and clear (as usual), with lots of good tips and troubleshooting to boot! You're one of my go-to channels for all things woodworking. Thanks for all you do Stumpy! Hope you're recovering well from your own angle grinder accident.

ATTENTION NEW WOODWORKERS: Download this video series! Then SUBSCRIBE James gives a wealth of very valuable information in a 12 minute video.. As a 40 year woodworker , " the old dog can learn new tricks". You will produce a much higher quality project following this advise, while avoiding potentially harmful injuries. Great job James, 2 thumbs up.

[@AkinAkinsanya]

i am addicted to this channel.

[@JR-rk5dr]

its so great to get a explanation with out gimmicks or obnoxious screaming just a guy explaining his craft in a calm manner channels like this or so under rated :)

[@freddyfriesen]

As a retired shop teacher of forty years, I find myself smiling and nodding a lot, but there are still many tips that have me wishing I had known that several decades earlier.

[@2AChef-n-BBQ]

Dammit James, this is becoming an addiction, Been woodworking for 35 years, but you always have some good nuggets,. Thank you!

[@gerryseymour]

We really don't need to think about James' nuggets.

[@2AChef-n-BBQ]

@@gerryseymour bwahahahahahaha Amen to that!

[@ignae]

How is all this information free? props for sharing a high-quality class. There's a spot for you in wood heaven.

[@watermain48]

Thanks James. I'm re-watching these because I just got a new SawStop Jobsite Pro table saw and thought some refreshers would be in order.

[@Finksta951]

I have recently acquired some woodworking tools from my grandmother. She had a mess of a garage and told me if I clean it I can keep anything I want. So far I've got a 14in bandsaw, 10in table saw, a few hand planes, and other hand tools, my buddy gave me a nice dewalt 12in miter. I just wanted to know that since watching your videos I have learned how to use these screaming death machines and keep my fingers so thank you.

[@brettm1118]

I love this. Nothing wrong with teaching old dogs new tricks and reminders to not get complacent with unsafe habits

[@weezerOU812]

I've been a woodworker for 20 plus years, but a refresher never hurt anybody. Plus, like they say, if you're not careful you might just learn something. Keep up the good work Mr Hamilton.

[@cramit]

I know this is an old video, but I just want to say thank you. I am new to all of this. Covid introduced me to woodworking when I built desks for my wife and I, so we could work from home. I found a passion for it. We are having a workshop built in our backyard, and I am finally facing my fear of some of the more intimidating tools, the table saw being at the top of the list. All the information on youtube is helpful, but overwhelming. Videos like this help me feel much more prepared. So thank you!

[@coreygrua3271]

This thoughtful table saw series proves once again that the devil is in the details (along with the accidents). Thank you Professor Hamilton. You have saved a lot of fingers. Plus, I always like good results.

[@bobkent21]

I have been woodworking for 45 years and these are great videos. I learn from them and every new woodworker should watch them carefully and often.

[@kernsails]

Thank you for all you offer us. Your manner of teaching is great, and it doesn't drag. I have learned so much Thank you, K

[@jimmypage122]

invaluable series so far! would love a similar series on the router table next.

[@hurley1896]

A no nonsense, simple, but very informative video. Brilliant

[@LuckyEleven1177]

You are an exceptional teacher. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You’ve helped make me a better woodworker and avoid becoming one with stumpy nubs.

[@richardroehr5020]

You are a natural born teacher. Thank you for the clear, thorough and easy to follow lessons

[@kennethspengler9934]

James, this series is terrific. I like these videos that stay on topic instead of the ones that jump around with comic outtakes like earlier videos. I’ve learned a lot from your you tube videos and am glad I am a subscriber. Keep up your excellent work.

[@chipsterb4946]

As a beginning woodworker, these tutorial videos are GREAT. They are packed with useful content in an easy to grasp presentation.

[@cindymullen665]

As a complete novice (and I do mean novice - as in I’ve never even been around a table saw!), these videos are gold. I have to take a lot of notes and master the vocabulary, but I’m able to learn what I need to make the cuts I couldn’t before. I used pre-cut wood to build a cabinet. I had a miter saw that could handle the cuts I needed for that one. It turned out really well - the second time. 😂 I only had 5 inches and made a spice rack with full extension. It was challenging since I had to make my own plans. This expands my ability to make the next ones considerably since I can’t buy wood the size I need for the next ones I need to make. Thank God for these videos! I was especially glad to have the safety videos. I have a VERY healthy respect for the saw blade! I’m a musician and would absolutely die if I cut any fingers!

[@theyuha]

Just got a table saw from a friend, decided to see what I got here and how it works. It is very well thought out and presented.

[@gregjohnson8486]

This is a GREAT series!! Thanks for sharing 👍🏾

[@benjamincook3800]

This is a great series of videos for an old retiree who just took up woodwork dabbling about a year ago ,now im hooked.Your presentation is excellent Im thinking maybe your a teacher of some sort? Anyway great series and like some other comments I read on here Do More!!!!! Thanks my man...

[@bobd5119]

Several thousand dittos!

[@greybeard9396]

Excellent videos, just subscribed! But, man, I'm having to actually make notes (which, I think, is good practice) to remember the stuff!!!😂

[@nancycrase7112]

There are some good woodworking youtubers out there. I'm a new woodworker and I think your content and delivery is just about the best I've seen. Thank you (and thanks to those that help you to create these comprehensive videos) !!

[@bloomtimer2257]

now i know what makes some of my cuts uneven, thank you for that.

[@pashay4723]

Very informative and thorough. Thx so much for making it

[@joshflammrealtor2894]

Stumpy, far and away some of the best videos out there! Bravo!

[@JoeMac1983]

All of your videos are extremely thorough, to the point, well produced, and full of amazing knowledge. Thank you for sharing what you know with all of us!

[@shnuggumz]

Damn informative! So thorough and descriptive.

[@johngilmour6850]

So many helpful tips!

[@Shirodx]

Wow, so much info. Very helpful. If I had never watched this video, I would have definitely made some of these mistakes you had out lined. Thanks again.

[@jimzeleny7213]

80 or 90 tooth blade has worked great for me, crosscut and rip cuts

[@jlh5995]

Hey James, thanks for the great video tutorial on the basics of making cross cuts on the table saw.

[@jamesmccarthy6430]

James. Your videos are the best reason to have KZbin. Really love the series on table saws. Makes me want to run down to my shop, turn on my Delta cabinet saw and just cut some stuff for fun.

[@juleswebb1885]

I love these videos..it focuses my mind on how to make better, more accurate cuts, even if i 'know' all the principles covered here. For example...need to make a new zero clearance insert plate, need to fix my sled as it's a tiny bit warped and doesn't quite sit flat on the table, need better quality blades... it's so easy to neglect the little things that add up over time and affect your work

[@cduncan7768]

You sir are a great teacher.

[@MikeTatman]

Thanks James. Loving these videos as always.

[@stratlix1]

KZbin should have the thumbs down button make you state why you are giving it a thumbs down or you can’t leave a thumbs down. When I viewed this INVALUABLE lesson on table saw safety and tips it had 6 thumbs down. How can there be 6 people in this arena that are so negative they would thumbs down this video? I just don’t get it. If you don’t find value in these great videos just stop watching. Man people bug me sometimes. Thanks Stumpy, your teaching is over the top. I learn something valuable every time I watch. And I support you through my purchases. Always great tips!! THANK YOU!

[@MadMFox]

This is a great series for beginners like me. Thanx!!!

[@rosswaring2835]

Excellent, clear instruction James...great work! Thanks...

[@fuerzalatina134]

amazing amount of information!! you are incredible!! thank you!

[@e.dbogan6266]

I like your channel. You always have good tips to helpmthe beginning woodworker. Keep,up the good work!

[@MrPeterPanos]

Thank you so much for all your videos, I just bought my first Table Saw, and I find all your videos very helpful. I especially appreciate your safety video, thanks!

[@mjp5546]

Another few great tips. Your videos are awesome, thanks for doing them.

[@bijoysaraf650]

Your tips and tricks are succinct. I have learnt a lot of wood working safety tips watching your videos. I have been a subscriber to your channel for a while now - always liked your videos and your style of presentation. Being an engineer, I pay a lot of attention to details in fine woodwork. When in doubt I search for an answer in your wood working journal and/or the videos. Way to go James! Looking forward to your next video.

[@BloodysChannel]

This is a great video. So much information packed in! I wrote everything down and it took me way over 30 Minutes to watch the video and make my notes. So valueable, thank you very much!

[@huwdavies5264]

Another set of great tips for good results and safe use of a table saw. Keeping the series for re-watching as a refresher. Thanks James. Cheers, Huw

[@Ajackeroo2]

Love watching his videos, i learn so much

[@MrMarkpeggy]

Thank you for another great lesson James. You are a gifted teacher.

[@alexfedrick7634]

Great series’s I’m just a beginner and am finding this so much help.

[@zahirig]

This is great. Your advice is excellent and well delivered.

[@simoningram9442]

So much information! I'm going to have to watch this several times. I'm just starting out doing woodworking, but there's so much mind-blowingly simple, effective know-how here, it's crazy. Every issue I've had so far has been answered! Thank you!

[@raindropsrising7662]

Thanks for the series. Just got a table saw. These are fantastic and well structured. Appreciate them.

[@chemcody5119]

All good tips stumpy! A refresher course is always a good idea. Keep up the good work!

[@scottlouis7785]

I`ve heard all of this before but IT is always good to hear again thanks

[@Dsoginventor]

A few decades ago I bought a Sears contractor table saw. Gawd, I wish this video was available then! If you are new to woodworking, you pay attention to what James says, or you will be a statistic.

[@Dsoginventor]

@Rocket Man, no, I sold it a year ago.

[@deltaone7835]

Your material and delivery is an awesome piece of work. I have many years of wood working and still always find something interesting, accurate and remindful if that is a word. Thank you James Hamiliton for your awesome contribution to wood workers world wide.

[@BillHartCooks.]

Thanks for your content. I really do believe that you do want to make all of us better wood workers...

[@carolewarner101]

Really appreciating these tutorials. Really valuable. Thanks Stumpy!

[@theothermarshal]

This is a great series!

[@grahamhagerty8648]

Great Series indeed !

[@nicktucker4916]

Great tutorials, really appreciate you taking the time to do them. It's always good to go back to basics

[@shabazan]

You sir, are a great teacher. Even after years of experience, I learn something from every posting. Thank you.

[@Dave-kq7gv]

Cool vid with great presentation style as always, Mr. Nubs! While I get that it was a demonstration, I chuckled at the ghastly amount of tear-out @9:30 b/c you just showed us how to prevent it ;)

[@negotiableaffections]

A great refresher James, thankyou.

[@velcroman11]

Great video. No mellow drama just good clear explanation on the How, what and …….. whoops! Thanks Stumpy

[@freddyedwards67]

Absolutely invaluable advice. Thank you very much

[@roBLINDhood]

You are a very good educator.

[@917Stefano]

Thank you for making this video. It contains a ton of excellent info.

[@deanprosser5224]

Very useful, I will implement these points straight away. Many thanks.

[@osvaldocristo]

Thanks Stumpy. Great as usual!

[@clydedecker765]

As usual - well done. You always cover a subject well.

[@greg640]

this series is really helpful for this beginner, I will likely re-watch it

[@deanwilliams93]

Why Stumpy Nubs channels don't have 1.5M views is beyond me.

[@4SafetyTraining]

You do a great job, keep the safety in front.

[@mannyp3993]

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

[@Scatyricon]

invaluable information. the whole series is awesome

[@larrybeck3857]

Thanks for the help and what Thomas said.

[@guyh.4553]

Another great Rockler video!

[@divchief07ut]

Good stuff!! I usually raise my aux fence to leave a 1/16" or so off the table to reduce the dust buildup

[@Godlike-87]

Amazing work. You’ve inspired me and given me the confidence to truly pursue this as more than a hobby but a way of life. Thanks 🙏

[@gbjones54]

Great series James, Good reminders even though I've been using a tables saw for years..

[@johnduffy7502]

Excellent presentation. Thanks

[@charlessullivan8861]

Great video James!

[@emm_arr]

Excellent stuff. Thank you, James.

[@Iosifavich]

@Stumpy Nubs Great videos i really enjoy your particular band of explanation. I am new to the channel and new to woodworking (just starting) and i noticed that you brought up a Crosscut Sled and depicted a large one but i was not able to find a video on making one. I would really be interested in seeing even a basic Crosscut Sled construction project that us less experienced woodworkers could fallow at home. Keep up the great and informative work!

[@StumpyNubs]

Videos and plans for 3 different sleds, plus jig attachments: www.stumpynubs.com/sleds.html

[@MartinMosman]

Nice tips James. Thanks for the good videos!

[@MINGLE2008]

Thanks for the very informative videos.

[@bernarddouthit4647]

I watched 2 or 3 of your videos today and found them really helpful. I don't own a table saw and was renting one - just wished I had watched your videos a day or two ago. You do a great job explaining why things are dangerous. The saw I rented - a Makita from Home Depot, didn't have the fence adjusted parallel to the blade - and even when I made adjustments it had some wobble. Are fences supposed to wobble? Anyhow, do you have any favorite saws that you think would be worth purchasing second hand? Thanks.

[@patrickweckermann9121]

As always there are some great tips no matter your skill level.

[@markbryan9989]

Good stuff. Thanks James.
