woodpeckers doesn't want you to see this video

I used to drool over all these red Woodpecker squares you see on KZbin. That is until their marketing department made one critical error.

I just learned what a track saw was..I'm still using a Skilsaw and a piece of plywood... lol

[@CraigularjJoeWoodworks]

I laughed so hard at this video I watched it more times than I like to admit. I am buying a makita track saw and tso square partially because of this video

[@wittworks]

That’s great! I think TSO will have some good deals soon.

[@marvinramirez1110]

Digging the new content man. It's honest, truthful and most importantly real! keep it up Witt Works! Its refreshing.

[@wittworks]

Thank you Marvin! I found a groove I like.

[@andersonolive4553]

You could use those last four words he threw in there as a tag line too 😂 “Witt Works - It’s Refreshing!” Really enjoying the content as well, glad I subscribed.

[@intentionaltom9447]

I love the humor mixed with truth! I did the exact same thing and bought the TSO and it works just fine.

[@regbowdrey]

Excellent 😂

[@scottbarlowe2328]

I literally laughed out loud. Appreciate your honesty.. I have a Kreg project table so I don’t need the TSO square. But now I want one, …so thanks

[@wittworks]

Thank you! I just got the kreg version of the TSO square. Its nice. Don’t have the table though! 🙈

[@scottbarlowe2328]

It is great for repeatable accurate cuts, but you can’t break down four sheets of plywood without the additional support piece for the table. Even then it will only fit under the track width wise. I’m getting ready to build Paoson’s mobile workbench for my Dewalt tablesaw and will have to find a different way to break down the plywood as most pieces are too long to cut on the Craig project table. So it’s nice but only for 1/2 sheet size projects

[@731Woodworks]

You've got me intrigued!

[@supergimp2000]

I'm one of the suckers that bought the Woodpeckers track squares. To be fair, it was quite awhile ago and I don't think TSO had released theirs yet (or at least it wasn't as popular as it is now and never revealed itself to me). The Woodpeckers square is nice, but TBH I've never used it other than 90 degrees. Also, I find it annoying that the geometry of the pointer that fits in the v-grooves to lock the angle is such that bumping it can slightly cause the pointer to back out, resulting in a non-perfect cut. Ask me how I know. I have gotten in the habit of pressing that pointer into the notch before each cut to make sure that it's seated. I can live with it, but especially for the price, I wish the TSO was available (or I had known about it) when I purchased the red one.

[@wittworks]

Thank you. I suspected I would only use for 90 Defrees too…

[@andersstrick]

Yep, I did the same move, only with an even cheaper (but still accurate) rail square ;)

[@jaykepley5238]

Great video!

[@andiedonahue9400]

Too funny! I totally relate to your thinking! Great video.

@@wittworks I appreciate a YT channel that can curate the tools that are worth me spending my money on, and yours fits that bill better than any other KZbin channel out there.

[@drewfoxworthy1057]

I bought a TSO several months ago, thanks to you. I love it, by the way! How about a video or two about your drum sander? I could use the help....

[@wittworks]

That's awesome Drew! I need to buy a drum sander first! I drive to my friends house to borrow his. His is a SuperMax. It is SUPER! I need to find some space to put it though...

[@brianmccarthy1440]

Ouch! 😂

[@brianmccarthy1440]

BTW, love your content Drew. Keep slayin' it and providing that motivation for all of us to keep going with this!

[@wittworks]

Thank you

[@JaySellers]

I also thought about getting one of the Woodpeckers track squares which is why I have two of the TSOs instead. TSO products have become their own addiction. I use their parallel guide system on the regular. Ditto on the DBF-45 BigFoot. Bench dogs…track extension…UJK Parf Guide System…used weekly. However, I’m not proud to say that the MTR-18 Precision System Triangle Set that I sold many unused tools to buy has become a wall prop for the last six months.

[@wittworks]

That's awesome Jay! I love TSO. Got to chat with their co founder for an hour a few weeks ago. NICE people!

[@1975oldschool]

As usual, funny AF video!

[@hansangb]

I went a slightly different route. Got the Benchdog square rail for Dewalt saw/track. It's quality gear although you have to rip up some guides to make it fit. Then I wanted a parallel guide only to find that they don't make one for dewalt saws. Then I found out that my dewalt saw fits the festool track. So got the TSO sq rail and the parallel guide. Is this comment useful? Not, not really. No one cares about my blowing money on the benchdog kit (however well made it is). But i just wanted to pay my offering to the TY overlords to promote your video by typing a comment - traction, I believe they call it. LOL

[@wittworks]

Hilarious! I almost bought the benchdog but was scared away for all the alignment issues people had. I didn’t know dewalt fit Festool! Good to know. Thank you for your burnt offering. It smells pleasing. 😀

[@hansangb]

@@wittworks The man knows his Old Testament! FWIW, I had ZERO issue with Benchdog alignment. But you do have to rip off the plastic cut-alignment tape to get a nice fit.

[@wittworks]

Nice. I was a pastor for twenty years…

[@thelouiebrand]

Lol that was amazing.

[@thewoodshop69]

I love my woodpecker track saw square it will be kind of hard to make a 27° cut on that one.

[@Bonkers4747]

One of the Best videos !!!

[@wittworks]

Thank you!

[@thomasnielsen6409]

If you like the TSO, then you should try, Fonson rail square, it has a lot nicer features, than WP or Festool. Bought mine from Banggood (China). Dennis from Hooked on wood, made a video about it.

[@wittworks]

I’ve seen that one! Very interesting.

[@elmaestro35]

That was well done. Lmao. Great job. Keep them coming.

[@wittworks]

thanks! Got one coming tomorrow. And a HOT one later in the week.

[@HeliRy]

Must be something in that colour of red paint. Heck even the “cheap” knockoffs from China, which can be surprisingly good, skyrocket in price once they paint ‘em red 🙄

[@wittworks]

Ha.

[@ericerf6837]

Nice video. Nice product. How could you not like the inventor if you’ve seen his videos?

Hans? He’s great.

[@ericerf6837]

I see that Lincoln St. Woodworks just posted on the subject of Woodpeckers price and alternatives….great minds. Just to keep beating a dead horse, how he has 149k and you don’t, escapes me. Keep plugging - and I won’t have to keep repeating this.

[@wittworks]

Ha! Saw that too. An hour apart. Who knows. I don’t understand KZbin.

[@flboy77]

This deserves all the views

[@wittworks]

😃

[@jhornett]

This made me laugh. Nice job!

[@wittworks]

Thanks James! That was the goal!

[@rickgordon8377]

So relate. Your wife's voice is the same as mine's. I even suffered as I do on most of WP's tools. i just cant figure out why you didn’t pass out over TSO’s $150 for that size of aluminum! Outrageous is the word not “boo”. i am a woodworker and not a machinest. ill solve the problem and i wont look cool unless i get lucky with laminate or stain to compensate for my unpopular financial judgement. Dang, WP and TSO do look slick dont they? only my wife sees my shop, and could care less about what my stuff looks like. oh well. maybe on the next cool gadget you will have courage. Good luck.

[@wittworks]

well, as my friend says, "no one gets into woodworking to save money" - the TSO saves time and has a lot of other tricks up its sleeve when paired with other tools. It is a lot of money though.

[@jasonplugowsky3086]

What folks need to know is that quality tools need to match standards. ISO, JIS, or such. IF they have these designations the rest is features and marketing.

[@BriManeely]

Oh man. We need more of this level of debauchery on KZbin.

[@wittworks]

Thank you?

[@rickgordon8377]

Really like the cover you made for Makita saw hole. I hate the price even though you Festool and TSO can charge whatever you like. Shipping charges are killing your sales. Ouch. I think you should bundle two for the price of one and that would offset your shipping fee. Just a thought. Good Luck.

[@wittworks]

unfortunately USPS charges a min of $4 for shipping anything NOT a letter...So the options are 1) sell it at the price point and add shipping, or 2) add the shipping in the fee and ship it "for free". What would you prefer? $10 plus $4 shipping or $14 free shipping? The alternative is to buy a 3d printer for $1000, a roll of filament for $40, and then learn how to 3D model... $10-15 seems like a bargain for the short cut I provide. I've also had no problem selling them :)

[@AaronGeller]

I hate the price of candy bars… so what of it? No one will love the price, but if it’s a great product or service, they’ll love what they got in exchange for their money. $14 is NOTHING for a quality product that solves a real problem for a product that cost more than 25-50 times the accessory itself. As a business owner myself, I think Witt has priced it EXTREMELY competitively and a very affordable price.
