Excellent tip! As always, great video too. If you haven’t heard it enough, you are an excellent teacher. Thanks for taking the time to make content like this.

@mewmew32 10 месяцев назад

couldn't disagree more. this is soooo poorly explained. had to sketch it out to understand what is going on. filming from the operator's POV would help a lot.

@colinwilson8747 2 года назад

Love that you show how to make things fit without measuring anything. Thanks for the great info.

@superdad2010 2 года назад

Genius!! SOOOO glad RU-vid keeps populating your videos into my feed. This is one of the FEW channels I will stop whatever I'm doing and watch. Thank you sir for another great video.

@jwm6314 2 года назад

Man I love your content. The more steps you remove, the more measurements and marks you remove, you get more accuracy. I can't wait to make shim sets for all my blades now.

@hansangb 2 года назад

It's like a GIANT kerf maker! :) But TBH, the trick you taught me that saves HOURS is how to rip off the double stick tape! G.E.N.I.U.S!

@bryongrove418 2 года назад

This is a great tip! Thanks for sharing. Another way to get a shim rather than making one, is to find some slats from a standard 2" wide plastic vertical blind set that you can purchase off the shelf in Lowes, Home Depot, Walmart, etc. The slats are the exact width of a saw blade. I use the extra slats that I removed from a 44" long blind when I was fitting it to my window height; although you could really use any length you prefer. I have multiple slats on had and when I make my dados I just add slats one at a time on each pass until I get to my desired dado width.

@rta3738 2 года назад

Thanks. I was wondering what material I could use without making the shim and wasting material.

@markhedquist9597 2 года назад

@stevesilva6478 Год назад

I saved this video on my RU-vid shop playlist when it first was posted, knowing that I would use it in the near future. I just had reason to use this method for the first time, and I am declaring it pure genius. I was fabbing a divider assembly for storage of tall, thin pans and cooling racks. I wanted to use some "1/4" birch plywood from the big box store for the vertical dividers. The stock measured about 0.205, so routing the many "1/4" slots on the 1/2" base was not possible with other than a 1/8" bit, which I am not keen on using. Cutting all the grooves in the base to accept the vertical panels was a breeze on the table saw using this "blade kerf" method for nailing the width of the grooves. Many thanks for sharing this method.

@mattmayes599 2 года назад

Thanks for the helpful information on another way to cut accurate in a simple way 👊👍

@massiminimakes 2 года назад

It took me a couple watches to figure out the mechanics of exactly how making the shim worked. Now that I understand it, I think it's brilliant.

@davidyeo4302 2 года назад

Taking the previous shim up a notch! Awesome, thanks

@MichaelAlderete 2 года назад

That is so clever! Maybe this is a technique that every experienced woodworker knows so well, they’ve forgotten it’s not obvious. But in ~9 months of watching woodworking videos on RU-vid, by most or all of the usual suspects, this is the first time I’ve seen it. Really well explained and demonstrated. Thank you!

@cmaden 2 года назад

This is genius. I have a kerfmaker jig for dados, which I always considered to be fairly simple and mostly accurate, but this is even more straightforward and dead on perfect. The adjustment screw for the saw kerf on the kerfmaker is not as accurate as making an exact shim like this. Well done 👍

@gilbertguzman4798 2 года назад

@BdoPapa 2 года назад

You are brilliant! I love your pursue of the concept of "accuracy without measuring tools", or I should say "perfect fitting without measuring tools" You keep demonstrating that there are so many practical ways of precisely measuring and fitting as a first approach, and a the measuring tools are just as a reference to a "measuring unit" (inch, meter) for approximations and for standardization purposes.

@daifeichu 2 года назад

That video where you showed making shims worked well for me. I used that method again a few days ago. Today I am planning on making some more shims but these are going to be thicker than the 1/8" blade I normally use. I was going to use the 'creep-up method' but instead I will be using the method shown in this video. Thanks, again, for showing us some interesting and helpful tips.

@jewdd1989 Год назад

Although it seems intimidating I see other woodworkers talk about frustrations they find trying to make perfect shims and I always comment to watch your content! Tomorrow I’m giving possibly both versions a try because I’m going to be making bridle and half laps and a perfect shim would make my cuts accurate and consistent. Hopefully it works out, if not that’s not your technique that’s my level of skill. Thanks a bunch

@mike41062 2 года назад

Awesome tip- wish there was a quicker/easier way to make the shims the right size (without using and cutting up so much extra material)- but awesome idea. Could you use an old identical dull saw blade to set the fence, and just rip a shim the correct size that way?

@Icantball67 2 года назад

I’ll be honest. That all kind of went over my head as far as how to make the shim, and how that translates to perfect thickness cuts. I’ll have to watch a few times it even try it myself as a test to make sure I understand. I trust that it works b it the video went a little to fast for me but that’s my problem not yours. Credit to you for these methods you have of getting perfection without measuring!

@fernacticus 2 года назад

Stick with it, I made a half lap joint yesterday to try out the blade width shim method and it worked perfectly. I have never cut a half lap, half as close fitting.
