Excellent video. When I'm sneaking up on the final cut I call it, "Tickling the wood." lol

Let's Go Redwings. Thanks for these valuable tips.

I wish I could spend a YEAR with you to learn some of the knowledge you share with us !! Thank you so much for all you teach us !!

I watched another guy make a very similar jig but he used the exact wrong technique to cross-cut with the board against the fence. Amazing. Glad I found you James.

Good morning from Ohio James. Although I've been a woodworker for a very long time I never get tired of hearing the basics. Thanks.

Old beginner here, and while I'll need to watch the video multiple times, thank you for showing the safest, and most accurate way to make these joint cuts. Although I enjoy watching fancy woodworking project video. I always come back to you for the safest and most accurate way to work.

Thanks for explaining why it was okay to use both miter and fence while cutting the outside rabbit! Blessings!!

Adding tape to your fence for fine adjustments is a fantastic idea!

Mating rabbits. You’re bound to have thousands of bunnies hopping around your shop Great videos man.

Marking the centre of the blade on the insert is such a simple idea, but I have never thought to do it. I'll be putting that to rights first thing tomorrow.

Thank you for advocating making a test cut. So many other channels brag about how accurate they set up their rip fence is try to prove by quickly moving it to a measurement, lock it down and make the cut with out verifying the distance with a test cut. I always wonder how many times they cut that piece only to find out is was not cut to the proper measurement. You never see that in the final edit. Most wood workers have scrap wood, yes I said that out loud. Admitting we have a problem is the first step. We always have scrap for a test cut. Besides, with the cost of sheet goods these days, why not take the time to make a test cut. More cost effective in the long run. Another great video, thank you.

My grandfather was a joiner who apprenticed in the Glasgow shipyards before coming to the USA in 1923. He always told me to "Work to the wood, not the rule". Still good advice.

wow this is a gamechanger. thank you so much for the share.

As a high school wood shop teacher I show the students how to cut rebates and lap joints as an intro to tenons. I liked this video due to the fact that there are things you say that are almost exactly how say them to my students. Keep up the good work!

I really like that you made a video about this. It's true. I started with a half lap...but that process honestly upped my game.

Mr. Rogers meets Al Borlan meets the guy narrating my life. Good video.

"Half laps are just a pair of mating rabbits."

These videos are really well put together -not amateur in any way.

This was awesome. It made something that is kind of intimidating ( at least to me) really approachable. the whole idea of "sneaking up" on a cut is something that I have been doing in other settings, but I thought that it was because I was bad at cutting. Seem like more of a strategy now.

Love your channel

Amazing great videos. Thank you! I like all your work, not just this one. It shows that you have experience, unlike the other youtubers who make a living with making videos, not with woodworking.

Simple, direct, and smart.

I could have used the masking tape tip this week! It’s in my brain now, I won’t forget, thanks!

Very helpful!

I've commented before and I've always meant to say this. You are a great teacher!! Thank you!

Dear Stumpy Nubs, thank you for your channel. Its honest and informative and I enjoy all your videos, again, thank you, Michael from England.

This is such a good video 🙌 Your time and energy that you put into these videos is much appreciated. As a woodworker, I am always looking to improve my techniques and be as efficient as possible without sacrificing quality. You always either confirm that I am doing something correct or give me something new to try. Thank you! 🙏

Thank you!! I have cut dado's and rabbets and either not enough cut or just a bit too much. Going to use the tape trick. Another educational and informative video.

I may have missed it last video (or so), but congrats on 600k, James. And thank you for the excellent tips.

You a man of sophistication, makes jigs for cutting rabbets on the table saw. Me, a caveman, uses a hand router.

Great video!

Great video. The hard part for a lot of us small shop guys is that our contractor table saws just don't have the quality fences that a professional cabinet saw does, and man is it hard to make jigs with no play when your fence has a lower tolerance for its manufacturing specs. My DeWalt fence, while pretty darn good for a contractor saw, has a slight little dip in the middle. It isn't a huge deal for normal rips or anything, but on jigs that ride the fence I always have trouble, as in the very middle it has some play.

Excellent tips, James. Thanks so much for sharing these.

Fantastic instructions, thanks for helping out all the newbies getting into woodworking

James Hamilton has presented another great video filled with practical tips for all woodworkers. After over a half century of woodworking I agree with everything presented. However, even when using the single blade method I prefer to cut my dados close to the fence. I believe this method gives greater control over the cut and the workpiece can't spin out and ruin the cut. although the masking tape trick won't work in that position, you can still start narrow and sneak up to the width of the dado. In any event, I always make test cuts on a scrap piece before running my actual stock through the blade or dado set.

Stunning helpful, James. Thank you very much.

I followed you design and made a jig like this for myself. It helps a lot when making lap joins or notch out. Since I got a job site saw, I double up on the support piece on the right so it doesn't fall into the mitre track. Also it gives it little more stability since the my table saw fence is very narrow.

Thanks. You again make something difficult a simple and accurate task. I enjoy your channel

Excellent video as always. I am so thankful you have a channel.

Thanks 👏👏👏

Nice info thankyou

Most excellent presentation. Concise, logical, applying theory to practical skills... good job! Tom Byrne

Despite being in Australia, where we call them Grooves and Rebates, I got interested in woodworking from watching youtube videos, and since the majority of woodworkers on here are American, picked up the US lingo instead.

Hola! 🖐 Really good video, the masking tape tip is awesome!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and making these videos, please keep them coming. Take care and have a good one, Adios! 🖐

Thanks for sharing with us James, good information really helps after being away from the table saw for a good while. And for misplaced jigs 🤗. Stay safe and keep up the good work and videos. Fred. 🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻✋🏻✋🏻

Great video and I've made a bunch of rabbit and dado cuts in my time. I'll be making a couple of those jigs.

I like my Incra fence. Built in micro- adjust.

Rabbet / rebate? The great dabbet / debate!

Thanks Jim.

Thanks again James!

this is great

This video gets saved to my “woodworking how to” playlist. Great vid, thanks.

Very helpful. Thank you!

Thanks for another useful video.

Great tips again.

YOU GET A BIG THUMBS UP ON 👍 THIS ONE. KEEP THEM COMING

Sometimes, if I only have one or two rabbets or dados to make, I'll just use the "nibble" method, but if you have a reasonably decent table saw it's worth the expense to buy a good quality stacked dado set. I also have a dedicated sled with a wide cut-out for the dado cutter.

Great lesson James, thanks for sharing it.

Thanks!

Just another great tip. I really like the tape tip never have thought about that, great idea👍. Keep the ideas coming.

I really love this video for so many reasons….one essential point that could easily go unnoticed is the benefits of marking the location of the apex of the blade…can you please explain In some more detail how you go about finding the apex of the tablesaw blade? It’s not the center point of the opening of the throat plate on my ridged saw, thanks! Rob

All thru the video, all I could hear was Samuel L Jackson: "How do you catch a unique rabbet? Unique up on it! How do you catch a tame rabbet? The tame way. Unique up on it!"

Great video and thanks for sharing. I’m in the process of making a bookcase for my daughter and I need to cut some rabbits on the case pieces to hold a back panel. While I do have a dado blade and have it set up for some reason my table saw doesn’t seem to be staying at the set height so I’ve been thinking about using my trim router with the fence. However, I might try making a fence for my saw and trying the rip blade double cut method.

Rebates are way faster than rabbits.

That double cut method looks a bit sketchy in my humble opinion, but it definitely looks as useful as tp on a road trip! Thank you for the technical skills and the relationship association to the wide world of rebates! I mean rabbits 🐇. Wait. Eh, you know what I mean…. Grooves

Is this what is referred to as a rabbet hole

traduccion a varios idioms youtube es universal

Great content!!

Thanks agin

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 thanks

This is great, But Can You Turn on the Subtitles ?

Shhhhh, We’re hunting wabbits and their berry sneaky. 👍

Just a question. Why no featherboards?

I didn't even know Rabbits could use Table Saws!!

Re: Masking tape shim. I also have playing cards and business cards and post-its scattered around the shop for consistent shimming.

mating rabbets produce sawdustbunnies.

what do you mean when you say you use a tape?

Mating rabbets 🐰🐇🤣

Your my boy blue

Trying to find the tall tendon jig you used in this video

0:10 - 70s stumpy nubs..?

or... why not just use a router and edge guide? I'm sure this has been asked, but here is another :)

“Rabbits, or Rebates as some folks call them.” - You do realise we call them rebates because that is the name of the shape (a step shaped recess). Some American chap, at some stage in the past was partially illiterate and pronounced it “Rabbit”, & it stuck, forever making the rest of us think that they’re all slightly illiterate. 😂

My table saw doesn't have a depth setting. How can I work round this?

Hey Big Ray, He's the shop teacher of the 2000s

"Waiter, I'll have a double rabbit inside an inside-out rabbit."

What dado stack do you recommend for Sawstop?

Round here we say "DADDO" .. Okay not really around here so much as, just me. DAYTA? DADDA? Either one... DAYDO, DADDO? ONLY DADDO.

Hey, James, which "ATB/R" 10" table saw blade would you recommend? I've got a Dado stack, but there are also times I'd like to use a standard blade with a flat top cut.

Got a table saw given to me but without a fence. What kind or how would you suggest making a fence for saw?

Need assistance Sir. Not sure if I am going to burn up my sander Please help. Have you ever heard of a random orbital sander slowing down in speed?? This happens when I turn on the shop vac. I have my shop vac hooked up where the dust collection bag was on the sander. Thank you in advance for any guidance

This is great, but I'm not a rabbit... I hope the "more" part includes humans.

Done much faster/better/safer/consistant on a spindle moulder...

Ewww inside out rabbit 🐇 lol

Super useful. Thanks.

Another good one. Thanks. Ever thought of a series on "what did I do wrong?" Giving help and commentary on subscriber's video/photos?

I would like to thank you James, I recently bought an entry level table saw. It’s mitre slots are totally different to all the saws on RU-vid, but with hints and tips from stumpy nubs channel and Steve Ramsey I’ve been able to set up the saw and made my first cut yesterday. A 4 foot long rip cut in 9mm ply, you guys make it look so easy. After many practice passes I successfully cut 6 inches off the length of the wood. Why have I waited so long for this tool, it’s amazing.

Well done! Test cut and ease up to the final size! Thank you for the time you take in sharing you methods of table saw skills!

Shhh! Be vewy vewy kwiet. We're hunting rabbets!
