This was so informative. As a girlie interested in starting DIY, I’ve watched tons of videos, but I notice that the women DIYers seem to give way more detailed instructions.
Nice video for those unfamiliar with the tool. One thing to note when installing a blade into a jigsaw is to be sure the blade also aligns with the blade guide roller! Also, that blade can get really hot from the friction of cutting so caution, and gloves, are advised if the blade needs to be changed out or removed from the tool after completing a cut.
Good tip!
Excellent presentation and production. Very professional looking.
GURL! I've had my Ryobi jig saw for months and you just taught me about so many more uses! Thank you
I am an old man and I am so impressed and learning a lot , most of the tools I think I have for the beginners.. 👍 your fan.
I’m a tool time girl as well and Love making things, like you I have done many projects. I enjoy learning from other wood workers. I appreciate your tutorials, you do a great job explaining all aspects of the tools, and the camera loves you 😁. Continue the doing great work and tutorials.

I just purchased a Rhoni Brishless jigsaw last week and can’t wait to use it. This video came at the right time.🙂
Sincerely appreciate this tutorial, I'm so impressed with your knowledge and love the way you teach us. Thank you so much 🤗
I had a jigsaw but got rid of it as I couldn’t use it properly after watching this tutorial I will be purchasing another and practising.
Also great to see a woman knowing how to use power tools, they’re not just for men!!!!

I bought a jigsaw in March 2023 and I am using it for the first time in October 2023. I wish I had seen this tutorial before I used it. I would surely have had my straight line cut straight. Thank you for your tutorial. Appreciate it, especially from a girl to another girl!😇

Thank you! As a very new DIYer, This tutorial was helpful. I wished I would have watched it sooner! Can’t wait to use my jigsaw!!!!
I watched a few videos on using the jigsaw. I found your tip on using a level/guide to help cut a straight line very helpful. None of the other videos showed that.
Great tutorial!
Thank you!
Great! Thanks
I liked your technical analysis of the blade, as it gives more to the approach of what has been chosen to be cut.

Another fantastic video. I did not know a jig saw tool could do all of those things
I just got a jigsaw for xmas and have been a bit nervous about trying it. Your video was the third one I watched tonight on how to use it and the best one for making it feel way less intimidating. Thank you for this info! 😊
Yay! So happy to hear that. Keep going, you can do it!

Thanks for this video. I bought my jigsaw and was overloaded with all the settings and blade types. You really helped out!
Glad I could help!
Thank you for making such a nice video! Your explanations, as well as the filming, are very helpful. I appreciate that you do not assume that we know ANYTHING, yet you do not talk down to us!
You're very welcome! This makes my day!!
Very nicely done. You taught very well
Happy to hear that!
Thank you very much! They have come a long way since I first used one it wasn't called a Jig saw 60 years ago and it didn't have all the neat features then. So Thank you for bringinf me up to date.
You are so welcome!! :)
That top & bottom (dual) cut blade is a game changer. Thanks for sharing! 7:45
You bet!
Great tutorial! Thanks. I really would like to see something about circular saw while experiencing kickbacks -- what to do, how to handle, and staying safe. Thank you.
This!
Thanks Anika!! I thought a blade was a blade. Appreciate your teaching.
Once again, I come to ‘Anika University’ as I’m getting ready to start using a jig saw for the first time. Have learned to use other tools because of Anika. Thanks so much!
Fantastic! You got this!
This video was sooo helpful and easy to understand! I’ve been scared to use a jigsaw but this video made me feel a little less scared to try one. Thank you!
You can do it!
I am a first-time user (had used a saw decades ago!) I am also in my 60s, but I have the NEED and a strong desire to make things I want. TY TY TY TY For being very thorough, and explaining things in detail in such a way I can easily understand. I "Thought" I was fully prepared (Safety goggles, mask) but I need to go and get clamps (I knew this, but didn't) for today I am okay with the blade it came with, but I also will need in the future various types of blades. At the moment it's a shelf I am making, and redoing a bookcase. But later on, I want to do some fancier things. You have encouraged me further. SAFETY FIRST And above all! I was born with 10 fingers and plan on keeping them for the rest of my life.
Glad to have you! Stay safe out there and keep going!
Just the person I want to talk to. Also in my 60's and tired of asking my neighbour to make cuts for my projects. My small concern is the weight of the saw. Was that a factor in your choice of saw to purchase?
@@Anikasdiylife per my question above do you have any thoughts about weight and hands that aren't as strong as they used to be? PS great video!
Excellent video. Very clear and helpful. Thank you. Mx
You're welcome!
Good vid, remember jigsaws can also plunge cut, meaning you don’t need that drilled hole to saw out that square. Plunging is done by tipping the saw up with the front of the sole plate resting the wood and the blade clear of the wood. Then with the saw running, you SLOWLY lower the back until the blade contacts the wood. It will dig a slot allowing the blade to drop right through. When the entire sole plate is flat to the wood, you start sawing as normal.
thank you for that video!
My pleasure!
Thank you this was really helpful for my diy project 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Like your show keep up the good work jv
Super clear instructions Anika.yes I will get one.i wonder how you will cut a cylinderical structure made of thick cardboard. Those used to transport carpets etc.
Thanks! I’m about to do an Ikea Billie bookshelf hack an need a saw to cut the trim pieces. This looks like a good option. Definitely looks less intimidating that other saws.
Sounds great!
