HOW TO USE A CIRCULAR SAW FOR BEGINNERS - PART 2 

*Our beginners handheld routers course is now live! Check out the online course here ---> **bit.ly/3DcIeE3*

Just wanted you to know. I’ve been asking my boyfriend for nearly 2 weeks to cut 2 pieces out for me that I bought for a project, I literally just needed 2 boards cut in half. He acted like it was the worst burden in the world , so finally I gave up. I’ve never done a project or anything diy before so it was intimidating. I read some how to’s and watched your videos, and today I successfully cut my boards without harming myself or anything else. Thank you for these. I still feel very accomplished. :)

You are a GREAT teacher. I'm a 64-year old woman who just bought a 150+ year old house and I'm getting acquainted with power tools. I had some prior experience building sailboats in my 20s, but that was a long time ago. Your lessons are clear, succinct, and thorough. I'm getting my confidence back and working safely. Thank you!

It's people like this lovely chap that further the advancement of humanity. Knowledge sharing is a humbling experience, thank you again sir!

Some people are just really good at explaining things for “dummies”. You are one of those people. Thank you!!

I've been watching lots of DIY/carpentry videos lately and this is the first time I've seen the magnified, picture-in-picture thing you're doing. Very, very helpful.

Excellent explanation for a super beginner, I bought a saw for a small project and then immediately found myself stumbling over the most basic details having 0 experience with power tools of any kind. feeling way more confident now!

Really appreciate the time and attention you apply to the editing and production of your videos. Thank you.

Very helpful! I used to run a circ saw years ago on side jobs. But bought one the other day and this is an awesome refresher! Thanks

Just purchased a saw and I have no idea how to work one, thank you for helping me feel a bit more comfortable. I am so impressed, not to mention I got what I needed to start.

The graphics, camera angles and zooms that accompany your great instruction are fantastic. I have only watched 2 videos of yours so far and these are already the best "how to" videos I have ever seen. So glad I found you. Will be buying my first circular saw this week!

Great video, direct to the point and filmed well. Better than 90% of the videos out there thanks

These two videos about the circular saws were the best ones on RU-vid. Helped me understand how I have been (wrongly) using the saw till now. Can't thank you enough for making these videos. And your style of explaining is really good for a novice user like me. #makedifference

Fantastic! Most "primers" seem to assume that I already know how t use a circ saw. You o9ffered both the basics of the doodads on the saw, AND how to do the two things that I bought it for -- slicing up 2x4s and trimming 8x4 luan sheets from 96" to 73." Well done, many thanks.

And once again youve come through and helped me when I need it most. I ordered a skil circular saw today. It's inexpensive and I figured I'll only do simple home improvement projects with it. I came here to learn how to use it and now im confident that I can do this. Thank you for this video. I subscribed and I'm saving this to my playlist 😁

I purchased one today for a small project at home. I am glad that this video popped up in my suggestions and I am glad that I clicked to watch part 1 & followed up with this second part. I look forward to learning more about the various tools…! Thank you for taking the time to share and show!!

You’ve got to be an industrial arts teacher! Or you’re just excellent at teaching all points of an application, And pausing at appropriate times where students can absorb the information. Awesome!

You’re a great teacher. Easy to follow your instructions. Thank you.

I'm on a project of building a 4 step deck stairs and i am an absolute beginner. I already replaced toilet bowls, door locks etc. just by watching DYI youtube vid. I am thinking of buying a circular saw for my current and future projects. Thanks a lot for the tutorial. I got the dimensions i need and will soon begin on my work.

I'm just getting started with woodworking and your videos are amazing as they clear out all my questions on which saw or tool to buy and how to use them!

Thank you sooo much for this video. I have been afraid to use my new mini circular saw, and this video gave me confidence. I was able to do my first sawing project perfectly and without injury.

thank you for your matter of fact way of explaining, taking it from the basics and building up, without being condescending 🙏, much appreciated and ready to start practising with my new circular saw now 😀

Thank you so much! I bought a 5-piece kit years ago. Have yet to try the circular saw because I've just been too afraid. I feel much more confident now. Time to get brave and give it a shot!! I have to build a wood frame to put underneath my new garden shed.

I've owned my saw for years and been intimidated. Ive asked for help at home to learn, to no avail. This 2part tutorial is very helpful. Thank you.

Thank you so much for this!! I was able to cut pieces that I needed for my closet. Was initially intimated, but after watching your video, I was able to get myself together!

Thank you for your video instruction. It was just enough to show me and tell me about the saw and how to use it. You are very clear and tell us exactly what we need to know and see to be confident using this power tool. I subscribed to your channel and look forward to leaning more.

Thank you for this instructional video series. I have never picked up a circular saw in my life, but since I have just bought a house I need to learn instead of trying to get someone to do a lot of simple stuff for me. My first project will be building a small 'boardwalk' in my back yard and I will need to be able to cut planks and 2x4's for it. You're video is giving me the confidence I need to DIY this project in the Spring. 🙂

Thank you i have never used a circ saw before, i now feel confident that i understand the basics to use it safely

Very helpful. I have 0 experience with a circular saw and I wanted to get the basics. Thanks!

Super helpful vids. Part 1 and 2. Wife has been bugging for a small planter. I’m ready. I think I learned the basics of a circular saw here. Thanks!

I'm 43 in BMST trade school,these videos are very helpful I was a part time contractor helper and never shown property how to operate and now I'm ready to go all in on not just to master but to show others and keep learning.

Love your videos. Just bought my first circular saw and you make it very easy to understand.

Thank you! Very useful videos, parts 1 and 2. Have just bought my first circular saw and was just a little nervous about using it. You explain things very clearly.

Nice straight forward video with lots of helpful tips. I love how you said to follow the saw blade on the pencil line to ensure a straight cut. Keep up the good work and sharing your knowledge

I've been watching wood working videos for the past few weeks. None have the great instruction and innate ability to teach beginners that your videos have. The camera angles are great and makes me more confident to give this a go. Thank you!

I am about to buy a circular saw thx 2 u 😁 confidence level is now 1000 starting with shelves hoping to move to redoing my shed....

That speed square tip is going to make my work so much cleaner now. I just never thought to use it as a perfect line guide. Thank you for the tip

Just watched part 1 and 2 for some reason despite knowing how to use this tool but you’re intriguing to listen to so I stayed lmao

Hey there! I don't know if anyone has already commented anything about this but I'll go ahead and go on with it. Sometimes the lower guard will become stuck or jam up on you after you're done with a cut, after every cut make sure the lower guard goes back to it's natural position. The saw blade will keep running for a few seconds after you release the trigger so just be aware and safe about that. And make sure you're cord does not get in your way or you'll end up ripping it in half.

You are amazing! First time using a circular saw and I managed to do a perfect straight line thanks to your video tutorial, I had to cut a drawer for an elder lady so she could fit it into her room and it worked perfectly, she was really happy! Thank you very much and I hope this video gets to whoever needs it

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Very helpful and instructional. I had always used traditional hand saws as a means of burning some extra calories every time I had some sawing to do. Unfortunately some years ago I was diagnosed with Parkinsons and now I am using electric saws more often. Some of the things in this video were very helpful

Thanks for this! Just picked up my first circular saw. Was pretty nervous to get started and now I think I'm just excited!

Thanks so much for making these great videos. I always considered myself as having two left hands but after discovering your channel I realised I just didn't have or know how to use the correct tools. This makes it a lot less daunting and actually fun. Cheers.

Awesome. I have two old wooden doors up in the attic that are begging for some repurposing. First project is a coffee table (one cut!) and this is super helpful.

I just ordered circ. Saw and will arrived very soon. I've never tried one and it's my first time. Thank you for this tutorial.

Circular saw for beginners am I glad I watched this i seen someone using one of these saws the other day and the plate to determine the depth of cut wasn't tightened up and was moving up and down and I use a circular saw pretty often and seeing this I beginning to think I was doing something wrong but seeing your video has put my mind at ease thank you young man

Thank you for taking the time to show us/ teach us.... i just bought the Ryobi 6 and 1/2 circular saw homedepot ryobi deal with battery pack etc.... looking forward to ripping some would.. thanks again for your time.....

I’m trying to build a frame around a bookshelf to make it look like a custom built in an all I have to work with is a circular saw. Thank you so much for this tutorial. It has explained so much and I feel so much more confident.

This sure helps a lot! I just bought a Lotus Circular Saw and we are in our way to finishing bunk beds for my 3 kids!

Just getting ready to replace my deck stairs and your video was very informative!

Thanks so much! My first time cutting with a circular saw. Success!!

This was so helpful! Thank you for the attention to details. I now feel more confident.

I actually learned quite a bit from this and the other video. I think you mentioned a few mistakes i was doing that caused the saw to lock up and even make the wood start smoking

Thanks for the videos my friend, I’ve just inherited a circular saw from my late father in law and had never used one before, very helpful

Thank you so much, I'm waiting for my circular saw to arrive, and start practicing.

Thank you, I know feel confident to start cutting my own wood. Need to go buy my saw. 🥰

Just getting started with the circular saw. I was using a hand saw and the cut was awful. Trying to fit and cut studs for my shop. It helped alot so far.

Thank you so very much young man. I really appreciate all of your help and advice that you've given me. I really mean it. Have a Blessed Day.

Thanks! 0:18 Types of circular saws & blades 60 tooth blade - plywood Safety 2:15 speed square

This is a really really good video guide (both parts of course)! I don't own a circular saw yet but I recently borrowed one and made a few first cuts without in-depth knowledge (had like a 20 sec introduction by the owner of the saw) but I have major respect for tools like this (same for my angle grinder that I've used a lot), because I know people have lost their fingers due to mistakes with these. After some training and learning from these guides I'm now ready to purchase my own circular saw. Thank you for making this guide, well earned thumps up and subscription!

This is awesome! I can't tell you how excited I am that I've found your channel.

I’m looking at buying my first circular saw. Your video is very informative. Thanks!

This has been a huge help to me. I am going to be boxing in some ugly pipes but have 0 experience. So at least now I know how to start to use a saw. Awesome ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Loved this. Just got a saw and this really helped.

Thanks a lot mate, this has been the first properly educational video to follow and digest the information, esp for someone who hasnt even got the tools in hand and is only prepping to get to the toolboard. I have followed part 1 and now this, both have been clearly information. You got my subs and like! superb!

I have been using one for years but I watched your two part videos anyway. I am always looking for a little knowledge. Great job thanks.

Both videos 1 and 2 were awesome training tutorials, you covered everything, thank you! I’M a newbie.

Great video, nice demonstration. Thank you for sharing the idea.

I appreciate your taking part in the sharing of this invaluable information !!! 🧿🧿🧿

I'm almost in tears. My passion to build is surmountable but a tool is only as good as you know how to use it. Never being around construction or taught I've been left to instruction manuals and the guys at Home Depot for all my ideas. Thank you so much! I owe you a pizza (:

A total newbie like me found this awesome, thanks a lot!

Such a nice tutorial for a beginner like me...😍 thank you

Just bought a saw first time user... This video really helps.. Many thanks for your help

Thank you for teaching how to use it. Great video!

Tks so much for that comprehensive demo. Electric saws scare me but I really need to get over that cos I want bits and tradesman expensive and hubby lazy, so gonna give it a go!

Nice video..simple explanation and clear same with part1, it will provide great confidence to a new user..thanks man!

Loved this man very insightful, clear instruction and demonstration, awesome channel brother

Thank you. I followed my father around because I wanted to be like him. He was a Union master electrician who could do anything. He taught me so much, but I only watched him use his power saw. I have inherited it all - a vast treasure trove of well-made tools. I have his Skil circular saw that was probably made in the 60s. I'm retrovating my 1948 mid-century modern home and I need to cut some 1x3s to put the door frames back the way they were. But I was worried that I might injure myself. This teacher used the saw like my father - calm and under control. Thank you for reminding me!

i remember working in construction at 17yr old and i was helping cut 2x4s for the framers. One of them was quick enough to stop me as i was about to cut with the stud supported on each end. The stud was going to bind and shoot the circ saw back at me. I learned a valuable lesson that day lol

Hello there i bought a cordless circular saw your tips are very handy thank you! I For taken the time to do this video all the best from Ireland 🇮🇪

Great beginning video for using a circular saw! Just what I’ve been looking for!

really useful. I'm a proper newbie, just about to by my first saw and was very concerned about getting it right. Now need to buy one.

This was exactly what I needed. Thank you!! Vegetable box pieces are cut and ready to assemble 🥳

super helpful, and very happy to report success! thanks so much!

amazing video for beginners, love both parts and you convinced me that I can do this. thank you :)

Excellent training! Thank you!!

You sir are an excellent teacher. The questions I had, you answered before I could get them good out of my mouth. I can't lie, im very intimidated by the saw but I must overcome that bc im a crafter and I have things to do!! Thank you for your time!!

Thank you sir for your valuable tips for a beginner like me. My first time to use my new circular saw.😀

Thank you Sir, You are a great teacher. I feel like I have just acquired my NVQ Level 2/3 in Circular saw cutting. 👊🏽

great clear and comprehensive video. thank you. gave it a like

Thanks for the videos, after this I was able to jump in and start using my new circular saw. Really easy to follow. 👍

Great Video , will be using your channel for my carpentry students in our lock down period, great resource for remote learning, thanks mate,, cheers

Perfectly clear english. No CC needed to understand every single word. It's quite important to foreign viewers

thanks for the video, I have a Craftsman 7 1/4 , I've been intimidated to use. I'm tried to learn woodworking, years ago I wanted to take wood shop in school but was told no it was for boys only, the next year it was allowed, but you have to have taken it the previous year. I used to follow a 5 in one tool , only to have the salesman at a trade show only talk to my husband and ignore I was there. Funny thing is I scored higher on the placement test for the military in high school than the guys did in building section. I helped my dad do things but he didn't teach me how to use the tools. He was in the California Conservation Core and built things. I wish there were basic building classes for everyone without taking carpentry classes. As many people could do basic repairs or basic furniture . There are people in the city of Bakersfield that would love to have a club. There is a great club in Fresno but a couple hours away. Any way thanks alot.

Excellent video for beginners. Thank you.

So Thankful you made these video's .... I want to learn to use a power saw and other power equipment and have no one to teach me. I finally decided to buy a circular saw for some small projects and need help .... the only thing I know is how to use a drill. Your videos make it less intimidating and I feel confident that I can do the job and teach my grandson the basic.

Love your videos man. Thank you. Just about to get my first circular saw.

Thank you for your perfect technique how to use circular saw👍👍👍

Following my husband's death, I found there were lots of DIY jobs that I had to tackle solo, including cutting off the bottom of doors after I had had carpet fitted. I purchased a circular saw which I could handle, (not the monster that my husband had used for such jobs

Thanks for these tutorials, part I & II stay blessed.
