Finally someone addressing the problem that I am having. Don't know way every other woodworker just skips over this part.

[@robira1313]

I always thought the "standard rabbet" is 1/4 inch - not 1/2 inch.

[@bradleytuckwell4854]

Your tips and tricks are the best. I’m so glad I found your channel

[@michaelallen2390]

Not accurate enough without stop blocks.

"Absolutely Brilliant!" as they say over the "pond" (England). You are great kind Sir. when you teach! NONE Finer! Love it!

[@noelv1976]

So you measure from the inside!🤦🤦

What if you don't have a tablesaw???

The book provides clear illustrations ruclips.net/user/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO diagrams that cover many of the essential topics. The projects at the end of the book are valuable for enhancing your skills and creating your own furniture. A digital platform linked to the book that could offer the plans for other woodworking projects with the cut sheets would have been a nice addition, but overall, the book is excellent.

Maybe I'm just stupid...but I thought 45+45=90...why can't I just set the blade @ 45 degrees? Why do I need a jig? Explain please...the woodworkers I was learning from ate dead so I can't ask.

Definitely use stop blocks on all cuts as the lines are not accurate. Great video.

Thank You for this awesome information

[@gregthoe5864]

When cutting picture frames you will need to add about an1/8 inch to your size so that whatever you are framing will fit without binding.

[@kathiemiller7223]

Can you make this for a sliding chop saw? If so, would there be any modifications needed? I don't have a table saw yet.

[@billboy7390]

I can't believe I never thought of that simple trick. Great idea, thanks

[@rudychavira5558]

Nice jig, I still have all custom frames lol

[@keithlarson5748]
