And to think it took over forty years for someone to show me an easier way, and it's so simple. Have I been living in a closet my whole life? Thanks James.
I LOVE half lap joints, they're my favorite. Perfect for a guy like me who's lazy AND wants a strong glued up joint! 🤣 Thanks for the great tips, yours are some of the most straight forward and easy to understand of any I've seen.
I just figured this out myself 2 days ago when I cut a bunch of dados for a multi-shelf metal stock holding rack! It took me a while to figure out but it is pretty much genius! Next time please come out with your video 2 days earlier! Thank you! :)
Great video. I use my tablesaw for the first reference ce as you do. However I then also set up my bandsaw and remove the wast for 1/2 lap and mostly for tenons. Thank you👍
You made it look so easy and it really works so simple, make some and practice some to see how simple it can be for you. Thanks for sharing James, Stay safe and keep up the great videos. Fred.
Great tip, thanks as always. One gripe I have about isotunes is the descriptions on their website. It’s really tough to differentiate between all the over the ear bud style options they offer. Not much can be learned from the product comparison feature.
I'm not sure if you've covered this before or if it was somebody else, I've seen it and thanks for reminding me of it. I have a project to do that this tip will come in handy. Thanks Jim!
Have you got a video on making a finger joint jig? Had a relative call to see if I have one, which I just haven't gotten around to making one, so after 3-4 tries, he went to the woodworking store to buy one. I may have to save this video, as the last time I made lap joints, I did not have a reason to call my friends and say come look at my wood joint.
Can it really be as simple as you demonstrate? It sure looks as it is so. Would I doubt you? NO, not if I want to avoid the wrath of the You Tube gods! Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
I use isotunes 8 hours a day in a large guitar woodshop. The orange ones have too short a battery life. After one and a half days use they are empty. My previous 3M ones I would only charge once a week. Also, the comfort isn’t there with the orange ones for longtime use. Sore ears at the end of the day. When these give it up, I’m switching back to 3M
This is nice and helps simplify tasks that I for sure was previously over complicating, but it would have been nice if you went a bit more into detail regarding the angled cuts. You mentioned it, the angle and such, but kind of just glossed over it. Given the video's purpose it's fine, just wish it was explained as that is newer information I would have liked to learn more sufficiently.
🤔 this seems simple but still more complicated than using my skill saw set at the appropriate depth that's been my ideal way for years. Simply using the pieces themselves to mark width of the lap.
I wonder about the ISOtunes ads that appear. I own a oair of Sony bluetooth headphones that cover my ears and offer noise cancellation. These are over the ear phones. When I turn on the noise cancellation I hear verry little sound. At the same time, these sre excellent sounding headphones, in my opinion and rated as duch in reviews. What advantage eould ISOtunes headphones offer over these? I don't discount James' reciews and his desire to support family run businesses. But the frequency that James mentions ISOtunes makes me wonder if I am missing out somehow. Any thoughts, woodworkers?
I"m sure you know better but you said suggested something dangerous, "you can use your saw's rip fence as a stop block". I guess when you put the shim against it and then slide the miter gauge forward you leave a gap, just don't want people to think you can use the rip fence with the miter gauge normally.

I don’t save many videos but I did save this one for future reference. Thanks James! 😎

What a great line!!😊

The most useful channel on youtube!
Saw blades should include plastic shims of the same kerf.
You have a great talent in keeping these very informative videos short and to the point. Great work.
This is brilliant in its simplicity. Thank you for sharing this.
Great video. I use my tablesaw for the first reference ce as you do. However I then also set up my bandsaw and remove the wast for 1/2 lap and mostly for tenons. Thank you👍
Thanks a bunch for the tutorial, James! 😊
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
You are a great tutor
Great info , thank you.
I love these simple setups that give great results. Thank you James!
Thank you so much for the excellent tip! I can't wait to try it. 😃😃😃❤❤❤
Blade shim works great, every time I do them takes a little time to get my shim and remember how but it is simple 👍
Thank you for sharing, wonderful tip. Everyone stay safe, warm, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia
You made it look so easy and it really works so simple, make some and practice some to see how simple it can be for you. Thanks for sharing James, Stay safe and keep up the great videos. Fred.
Thanks, James! I learn so much from this channel!
Great tip. Thanks
Thank you!! Ordered a pair of earmuffs, and greatly apprec iate the half lap technique!
Thanks James, love your videos and to help repay you for all the great content over the years I ordered some isotunes. 👍
Again, BOOM! learned something new. Thank you!!!!
Really good tips. Could you come out with another video going into a little more detail about cross block?
A good technique, James. Thank you for sharing.
Brilliant!
Great tip, thanks as always.

Excellent
That's pretty trick. Thanks.
This is Awesome! I wish I knew this before I cut the 26 half laps I currently have in my garage staining.
you just ended my frustration building these type joints Thanks again
You can also use a deck of cards with the same thickness as your blade as your shim.
I'm not sure if you've covered this before or if it was somebody else, I've seen it and thanks for reminding me of it. I have a project to do that this tip will come in handy. Thanks Jim!
It is similar to the dado cutting technique i made a past video about.
Have you got a video on making a finger joint jig? Had a relative call to see if I have one, which I just haven't gotten around to making one, so after 3-4 tries, he went to the woodworking store to buy one. I may have to save this video, as the last time I made lap joints, I did not have a reason to call my friends and say come look at my wood joint.
Wouldn't it be great if saw manufacturers gave you (or had available for sale) a metal shim exactly matching the blade's kerf?
Mastery indeed.
Can it really be as simple as you demonstrate? It sure looks as it is so. Would I doubt you? NO, not if I want to avoid the wrath of the You Tube gods! Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂

It's the same process, you just angle the miter gauge and cut the stop/shims to the same angle.
Awesome!
Bravo! Bookmarked

Hi
If you were cutting the lap or dado by hand saw what would be you “tricky” approach?
I wonder about the ISOtunes ads that appear. I own a oair of Sony bluetooth headphones that cover my ears and offer noise cancellation. These are over the ear phones.
When I turn on the noise cancellation I hear verry little sound.
At the same time, these sre excellent sounding headphones, in my opinion and rated as duch in reviews.
What advantage eould ISOtunes headphones offer over these?
I don't discount James' reciews and his desire to support family run businesses. But the frequency that James mentions ISOtunes makes me wonder if I am missing out somehow.
Any thoughts, woodworkers?
But how do you make the kerf shim?
The link is not working for the isotunes discount.
I *just* bought a kerfmaker. 🤦♂️😆
I don't suppose there is a nifty trick to getting a scrap that's the same thickness as the blade?
Cut it close, then sand it.
When YT spawned and I saw the thumbnail top, I somehow knew it was you blue.

I"m sure you know better but you said suggested something dangerous, "you can use your saw's rip fence as a stop block".

"Exactly". You keep using that word... I do not think it means what you think it means. ;)
So exactly what is your point.🤷🏼♂️🤪 (By the way he only said exactly approximately 3 times by my count)
