Thank you!! Im upcycling an old oak dresser into a vanity unit for a bathroom renovation and wanted to use the old dresser top to make cabinet doors (as it will have a stone top more suited to a bathroom) but wasn’t confident on how I could ensure I cut everything straight. This video is so straightforward & helpful and I can see myself using jigs so much more. I’m looking forward to watching more videos & learning more!!
This absolutly amazing, exactly what I was looking for, thank you millions of time. Exactly the size of my workbench, exactly the size of boards I will cut. Thank you
Best tips I've seen for cutting plywood into manageable pieces. I just bought 10 sheets of maple 3/4" for kitchen cabinets. I am going to crosscut them all to 32" just to get them downstairs into my shop. I was just going to use the old measure from blade and use straight edge method since I rarely work with huge sheets. It's like getting a $600 track saw for nothing. Thanks!
Nice to hear from you across the pond! I'm in the Greater Toronto Area. Thanks for your comment and I hope you enjoy the rest of our videos. We also created a second channel for furniture repairs - ruclips.net/user/fixingfurniture Thanks for watching! Scott
Very nice video. I'm in the middle of making jigs VS> getting a table saw. I'm a little scared of a table saw. What do you suggest? Let me know. Thanks Mark
You can make do without at table saw unless you get into making dado cuts or angled cuts. The table saw is best for those. You're justified in feeling intimidated about the dangers of a table saw - it's the most dangerous tool in my workshop. I'm debating on investing in a SawStop saw for the added safety. Does that help? Scott
@@HomeImprovementWoodworking Would we be able to just make a shorter guide like you did with the longer pieces of wood instead of the added work of making it a channel guide?
Interesting comment. I have a full workshop with a table saw and miter saw. These cutting techniques are how I safely break down larger stock (e.g. cross cutting a 4x8 sheet of plywood)
Home Improvement Woodworking Just bought a table saw and had two kick back first using it. I’m thinking about returning it and do it your way. It’s much safer.
Thank you!!

Glad you found this helpful! Thanks for sharing that. Scott
Thank you so much for sharing your implementation of the track saw. I made it and it works SO well. What a blessing you are! Thanks again!
That's so great to hear! I love that this helped you in your work. Thanks for sharing that with us. Scott

That's great to hear! Good luck with your kitchen cabinet project Chris. I hope you subscribe to our channel. Thanks. Scott
I really like that insert on the circular saw for dust collection. Beauty
Thank you. It's not as good as a track saw, but it certainly helps control the dust in the workshop. Scott
Good video, lots of effective ideas; all clean and quick.
You're the Man. Thanks for sharing.

very nice
Thank you! Scott
I have made the top part with no problems, but did't think about the bottom part, GREAT JOB.
Thanks Robert! So glad the video helped.
It's helpe me .. Thanks Sir .
You're welcome! I'm happy it's helpful for you. Scott
Nice videoooo thanks
Thank you
would the channel saw board be optional since you could just use a shorter track guide?
Sorry, I don't understand your question. Would you explain more? Thanks. Scott

3:25 saved me from a headache later 👍
Yeah, I had to learn that one the hard way. I'm glad it helped. Scott
That only works if the square is truly square
You're right. If your square isn't square, you need to adjust it with an awl and a hammer. Cheers. Scott
Bro just get a table saw

A table saw is no good for cross-cutting long boards, and a mitre saw is no good where the board is, as Scott said, more than about 300mm (12") wide.
Or you could buy a Kreg track system .
