About this video:
I've had a rocky relationship with the old jigsaw from the 1980s-1990s that my dad gave me about 15 years ago. It vibrates horribly and uses u-shank blades. I didn't realize how bad it was, and how useful a jigsaw could be, until I bought a more modern jigsaw.

As a young girl in my 20's I went to a garage sale once and found a jigsaw for $10, new in the box. My mom asked what I needed that for and I told her I didn't know, just curious and it's a good price I suppose. Fast forward 30 years. I still have it, learned how to use it and fell in love with it. I now have more tools than most men. Thanks for sharing your tips.

as a woman who has never even used a drill before because my dad is overprotective and he knows it all, I found your RU-vid channel amazing!! My dad was so shocked that I own a Jigsaw and showed him how to use it... I feel so powerful now 😌 he also can’t believe I learn on RU-vid 😂 you got a new subscriber now

Instead of a sacrificial board, try using Blue Painter's tapejust to the right or left of your cut. Same result and no wasted wood.

This was super helpful. I had a Black & Decker jig from around 20 years ago that I just upgraded so I can relate to what you said at the beginning. I’m just starting out on some more creative projects so I’ll take all the help I can get. Your videos break it down to simple terms without speeding thru the key points. Thanks a bunch.

@christopherzimmer 4 года назад

This was so so so helpful- thank you! I lived in fear of this tool until necessity forced me to use it-- and I made almost all the mistakes that you describe (wrong blade for application; too thin blade resulting in bending and beveling)-- *now* I really understand what I did wrong. Truly excellent work- good length and very clear.

@OutoftheWoodwork 4 года назад

Very kind of you, Christopher! Sounds like we went down the same path.

TO get a clean cut on the top I score ever so slightly off mark with a stanley blade, deep enough to prevent splintering. Can also do the far upright edge.

@plunder1956 4 года назад

I first encountered reverse Jigsaw blades with a shop fitter. They generally want the fine finish facing them. Used with a very low orbital rake and slowly, it's good for detail and laminate finishes. I confess to preferring a plunging cutting circular Track-Saw system with a quality blade, for sheet materials, with a sacrificial underlay board. But personal preferences vary a lot.

Thank you, this video is exactly what I’ve been waiting for. I’m buying my first jigsaw (dewalt )to use for crafting. No prior experience, but proficient with a drill. For now I’ll be making a series of semi circle wood cuts, largest cuts will be approx 36 “x 18”. I don’t have a workshop as such. What kind of work surface do I need...ie fold up preferably, before I start . Can I use workhorses, do I clamp always. Any info would be very useful.

@hkbondar Год назад

Tommy I had the same rocky relationship you described. I was literally afraid to use my 30-year-old underpowered jittery Craftsman. It bounced all over the place, I had no control, the blade would bind when doing curves, and I was afraid it would bend or break, and I'd wind up injuring myself. I really needed to use a jigsaw on a recent project so I sprang for the DeWalt cordless 20V MAX XR (DCS344B) and a quality set of Bosch blades (variety pack). Oh wow -- it's like night and day! Now I look for excuses to use the thing because I love it. I have so much control and feel so confident using it. With the really narrow blade it's almost like taking a scroll saw to your workpiece. Thanks for this super helpful video, and all of your other content is great too. I'm a new subscriber.
