Half laps and some other woodworking operations require finding the exact center of the workpieces. This is the fastest, easiest and most foolproof way that I've found yet.

Nice! And you don't even have to move the saw blade to exactly 45 degrees to find the center. Any angle will do the trick, as long as you cut both sides of the test board with the same angle.

@bhboyle Год назад

Jodi I dont know where you get your ideas from but I swear your the only one that has the ideas you come up with. Brilliant as always. Cheers.

@PatrickPease Год назад

Geometry, probably... It always blows my mind how both the best machinists and woodworkers just have such an intuitive grasp of geometry

@mikegallagher782 Год назад

He’s probably really good at pool too!

@stephenlelaurin8892 Год назад

It is clear Jodi has a great grounding in geometry! To that end, there are even a couple of woodworking authors (Jim Tolpin and George Walker) who are avid woodworkers and committed math geeks. They have written three (or more) books highlighting woodworking skills in light of mathematical truisms. Fascinating, even for this committed math geek. One of the books, "From Truths to Tools," is even masquerades as a children's book. Available at Lostartpress.com and a wide variety of woodworking outlets.

@vbikcl Год назад

Agreed. I've learned more really practical tips and tricks from this channel than any of the other 30 channels I'm subscribed to.

@D1G1TALSYNAPS3 Год назад

I don’t know if you’ll read this. But your videos changed the entire way I do woodwork. Thank you for always being so clever short and concise.

Thank you again 💓 oh & forgot to say... 💯 I subscribed 🙃🙂

@shaynesabala Год назад

Thank you. Your tips are sometimes the simplest but most useful. I will use this method for many year. Thanks.

@DonsWoodies Год назад

This is the kind of thing people knew decades ago and was lost to the technological advancements of the last years. Not to take away from your video. On the contrary, these things are what we need to rediscover, and you're doing a wonderful job of it. Keep it up, love it.

@20pump Год назад

2:28 excellent as always man. Thanks for sharing

@daleshewchuk3523 Год назад

You are outstanding because you know how to think outside the box, or anywhere else for that matter. Applied geometry.Your channel name is accurate as well. You inspire me to pursue woodcraft.Thank you.

@lvmadsen 8 месяцев назад

I dont often do this first time i see a youtuber... but this tip in this video made made me like, sub AND comment without you asking ! Amazing! - looking forward to see more tips from you !

@nitestrike1000 Год назад

This is so brilliantly simple and accurate, it should be outlawed! Thank you! I believe this could be applied to setting the router depth of cut as well if using it to make half lap cuts

@KyleBruns Год назад

Your tips are the best on YT! Keep it up.

@supersignsaustraliaptyltd3734 Год назад

It all makes so much sense, true craftsman true genius, using repetition and the tools we have to achieve the best result. one of my fav channels. I laugh at the end of every vid I watch, I have made every mistake he has the solution for but this channel has changed my way of thinking. How can I do this easier how can I do it more accurate, how can I do it safer, this channel has most of the answers but I am starting to understand this craftsman. I am nowhere near or will achieve his level of expertise in my lifetime but his shear logic and well explained vids has expanded my abilities, projects and level of weekend wood working adventures. Thanks for sharing very much appreciate from downunder.

Really nice tip, thank you.

@randallnorris231 Год назад

Awesome, thanks so much for the info. That will come in handy. BTW, I’ve dabbled in woodworking for many years and never noticed that line on a saw blade, learn something new every day if ya pay attention.. 👍

@dtork47 Год назад

Great tip, thanks again!

@David.M. Год назад

Nice quick tip, thanks

@ibubezi7685 Год назад

I like the short tip-videos - there should be a way to collect all tips (yes, I'm subscribed), in an e-book...

@jethropebs Год назад

AWESOME tip! Thanks Man!

@nipperdog7777 8 месяцев назад

This is close to what I do. I would suggest at 1:51 you draw a horizontal line with the table top. In addition to what you did. I also scribe it, not a pencil line. My dad taught me this way 40 years ago. It works great.

@meperson Год назад

That is great little trick. Since you are cutting two equal sides of the isosceles triangle the angle you use doesn't really matter/doesn't needs to be accurate to 45. Just use stop block and set angle to what you like.

@terryt2910 Год назад

Thanks. Always a new and thoughtful idea. BTW, any angle will do as long as you set the stop block so the cut clears the midpoint.

@tomwilson2804 Год назад

I was going to make the same comment. First I thought, "What if the angle isn't exactly 45 degrees, and worked it out through there."

@terryt2910 Год назад

@@tomwilson2804 actually, another viewer mentioned the same. I just added the "as long as the cut clears the center" part.

@robinpowell4570 Год назад

Great tip man, thanks 👍

@MikeCurtin-nn8xy Год назад

Thank you very much. This is brilliant. On the same level as William Ng's 5-cut method. You have a new subscriber. The angle of the bevel cut's not critical, either.

@steelsunpi Год назад

That is a great idea.

@michellegatz7077 Год назад

Excellent video

@vbikcl Год назад

This video is two tricks in one - the line for the saw blade to know its max height was brilliant. I'm constantly fidgeting with setup blocks and rocking the blade back and forth to find the highest point, and using a vertical reference line makes that super easy. Going to mark all my blades with one now.

@plainnpretty Год назад

Good information thanks

@hokaidosax 2 месяца назад

Just brilliant!

@stevengoulet3723 Год назад

Great tip Jodi. Great video too. Note though that the angle for the cut can be anything and this technique will still work, it doesn’t need to be exactly 45 degrees. As long as you keep the angle the same on both cuts, 30 degrees will work, 42 degrees will work…you get my point.

@anneoreilly4900 Год назад

Great tip!

@Marcelo57939 Год назад

Very smart idea!!!!!

@stevegronsky8904 Год назад

Good one Jodi 👍

@chrisgriffith1573 Год назад

That is going to save me HUGE amounts of time!!! THANK YOU! All of my panels are cradled. The corners are all half-lap joints. Now I can just cut several blocks to match each size of every cradle depth I make!

@DKWalser Год назад

Okay, that was cool! I learned something new. To put that in perspective, I used to work in a furniture mill. Part of my job was to train my crew on how to use woodworking machinery, including the table saw. It's not often I see something new. Useful reminders, yes. New, very seldom.

@leehaelters6182 11 месяцев назад

I am also very experienced, but giving this fellow Jodi big props though, because much of the time he seems to have reinvented techniques his own self. Stuff that may have been passed down to us.

@patniemczyk8860 Год назад

Brilliant !!!

@johghurt9863 Год назад

Applied primary school geometry. And the beauty is, that the angle doesn‘t even matter, it just works best with anything around 45.

@michaelnorman5640 Год назад

Brilliant tip, dude! Thanks a bunch! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

@edhiestand1197 7 месяцев назад

Cool Tip!

@BobBlarneystone Год назад

This is an excellent method. It's not difficult with a saw that has a vertical arbor lift mechanism. But for older saws that have a pivot lift mechanism, the position of the reference tooth will change slightly and so care must be taken to bring it back to TDC.
