Thanks! I'd like to get a table saw that will accommodate a riving knife, but it's something I gotta save up for. I'm currently using an older saw that's otherwise excellent, but has no riving knife. While using it, I want to avoid kickback and/or accidents and/or mangled flesh, so I appreciate this video that breaks down the fundamental causes of kickback, the forces acting on the board, and how best to avoid them. 👍
thank you very much ,you are really very a great teacher. how I wish that I could join your class and be one of your students . thanks again I really learned a lot from you videos .
Just a bit of feed back but the when it came to the crucial part of the maths and fully understanding it you speeded up the video, I think anyone trying to learn how to do this wouldn't pick up on where you've gone with the maths. In the past I've struggled with it and part of that is you obviously can't decimalise feet and inches, not easily. Say if it was an extension on an old house and the rise just happened to be 8ft 6 and 3/4 inches, the calculations are all getting a bit tricky, better to slow down the video at the difficult part not speed over it.
I was under the impression that he was gonna figure out the rafter length w/o using the calculator, by using the square alone. Great video tho. Thanks for posting.
So is it wise to cut the splines off while the glue is still wet... Doesn't that gum up the saw? I was just wondering if it's better to wait until it dries. Appreciate your input
Great video. Please don't stop. *Trick*: If you want to record a better audio so you can do it with your smartphone because cellphones are made to record only sounds next to the person and it will minimize the external sounds. On RU-vid editor you can delete the camera audio and use only the cellphone audio. Look it up on RU-vid *How to use smartphone to record videos audio and put it on video for RU-vid* Thank you so much for the videos.
Well I liked it up until the end. Nothing like investing a half hours time to find out you aren't really going to learn how it's done. Very disappointing!!!
As with any professional, they always make it look easy. Just did my first hand cut dovetail project and they didn't go together quite as nice as this guy's. It still worked but had to use a little filler to patch imperfections.
Love the one joint circus. People forget if you plane a 45 that is a 16th less than than the bottom 45 and you have a messy 4 joint disaster. its about 4 joints not 1 . A snake oil salesmen.
+nastythomashobbs If you, or anyone else, thinks this is an unlikely thing to do, you should see the videos put out by Paul Sellers. He makes many projects, in real time with no cut-aways, and using only hand-tools, proving that hand-tool work can be as close to perfect as you would want and the eye can detect. Machines have their place, of course, particularly where volume production in required, but it is entirely wrong to think that it is impossible to work accurately with hand tools. What is needed is knowledge and skill - like anything else. So no, as someone who works mainly with hand-tools, I don't agree with the 'snake-oil' comment.
Not sure whether you are referring to the angle of the piece or the angle of the two cuts he made for the splines. The over-all piece should be 90° because his shooting board angle was 45°. The spline kerfs were tapered slightly, as he said at 6:34, "so it kind of forms a dovetail". Probably about 7° each.
