Best program of woodworking, carpentry, hardware, etc. in RUclips. This program should be awarded as best in RUclips. The beginning is unique when you get cut off lol! The first time and probably the second got me. I thought is was bad editing until I figured it out as the entrance and advertising. Thank you Steve for your teachings! God bless!
Hey Steve I am a retired helicopter mechanic and attended year long machine shop operations course in that course we were taught to lower the band saw guide post down close to the material that is being cut and also to adjust the upper bearings to keep the blade from wandering as much.with that said I watch your videos to learn wood working which is my new way to enjoy my retirement love the videos and have learned a lot, i am a beginner at this.
As somebody who just recently took up wood working as a hobby, you have been very helpful with your videos; whether it be about the tools, the cuts, or outfitting a workshop on a budget, this free knowledge from your channel has been invaluable. Thank you!!!!!
Hi Steve, I just wanted to say that I am starting to dabble at the most basic level in woodworking and greatly enjoy your videos. I'm starting to slowly build my arsenal of tools and really appreciate your guidance and videos on how to properly employ them. I love your enthusiasm and the detail you show in your videos, too! One thing that I probably enjoy the most, however, is your honesty and integrity with how you present information and guidance. My job requires absolute integrity and I appreciate the little moments in your videos where you could have said something misleading or calculated but instead chose to admit whatever conflict was occurring. Please keep that up! Thanks and keep them coming!
Is there like a RUclips hall of fame that we could get Steve inducted into? Hilarious intros, the best woodworking channel out there, and is the only person on the internet who makes me look forward to sponsorship portions of the video because I know i'm going to laugh. GREATEST CHANNEL EVER!!!!! Steve was the first woodworker I found on RUclips, and I didn't even really know woodworking was a thing. I was only 16 at the time. Steve inspired me to take a woodworking votec class in highschool that ended up earning me a full tuition scholarship to college. I owe it all to you Steve.
Austin Long wow thats deep man. good for you man. steve got me all anxious to start my first wwproject just as soon as I get them tools out of layaway. 😂😆.
Absolutely agreed! Love the way steve shares his knowledge ....its like that rare time in high school, when you had that one special teacher.....that made learning something you didnt have to force yourself to do!!!
Man, you've singlehandedly taught me more about WW than all other RUclips channels and forums combined. Such a good format and great editing. Can't thank you enough!
Steve, I just wanted to tell you that your videos are by far the most entertaining than other's are (at least what I have watched). I've learned quite a bit about different aspects of wood working from your videos. Thanks.
BY far the best video I have seen of an craftsman teaching how-to-do-it to the average Joe [that's ME ha ha]. A joy to watch. Keep up the great work and keep plugging your sponsors, cuz you are a PRO for sure and deserve to get paid
I've just started watching your videos today and in the few hours I've been watching I've learned alot to where I could take on some of the projects I want to do in my house when I get back to the states and i just wanted to comment telling you how much I appreciate you sharing your wisdom on the subject.
You're a very good teacher. I always recommend your videos to people who ask me about woodworking. I learn a lot from you. Thank you very much for sharing. Thanks to MicroJig and Casper for sponsoring the show.
Immediately upvoted when you said "Get a table saw" - That's so honest and true, you seem to know exactly what my experience was with trying to rip cut with a circular saw. Table saw will arrive next week.
I disagree that you have to use a table saw to get good rip cuts. I would love to be able to afford a good table saw it don't have that much money yet, so I use my affordable circular saw. The important technique is to have a fence of some type. A temporary guide clamp, a straight board clamped or screwed to the cut board, or even a slide-in saw guide accessory can give the support necessary to make a decent straight cut. Go slow, keep the saw snug against the guide, and let the blade do its work. No, not fun, but it does an acceptable job.
@ 4:48 I only had a circular saw for a precise 1 meter rip cut (think the blade was dull too). It took me so long to set up a environment to cut along a straight line (do not have a work bench yet) only to instantly have the saw change direction cause it was nudged by the clamps holding my sketchy level setup. I charged the battery three times and almost started a fire trying to go through a knot... I had to redo the cut three times wasting a lot of wood and had to settle with an imperfect piece. Honestly think this ordeal took me 3 agonizing hours . That same evening I purchased my first table saw and here I am watching your how to playlist. Thx a lot for all the good advice 👍
Hey Steve, Thank you for great videos! As a total beginner with only a circular saw and few clamps I started my first project making some rip cuts to glued pine wood boards, and I successfully made an accurate precise cuts, down to millimeters (0.04 inch) By clamping a cheap aluminium spirit level as fence guide. Yes it takes some time to set everything and 10 times to check before cuting, but ir works great. Maybe it will be helpful for other beginners that maybe not yet ready to comit to table saw.
Awesome video Steve! Growing up on our farm, we had two saws, a traditional hand held circular saw and a Craftsman Radial Arm saw. These seem difficult to find now-a-days. This was our goto saw for so many different cuts. My Dad cut miniature 1x10s, 2x4s, 2x6s and 2x10 for me to build a wooden to scale house. I still have some of the cuts where 1" = 1/16" and all the cuts are consistent!
Nice job Steve. I appreciate how you meet us at our level. I also like the fact you are working out of your garage. So many of us can relate. Thanks again.
Hi Steve. I watch all your videos and throughly enjoy them. I never tire of your basic videos though and you're never too smart to learn, even though I have been woodworking for quite some time. Thankyou once again pal.
I love your videos. Your shop feels real (unlike some of the shop spaces that folks shoot in that feel like a set). My garage (aka: shop cave) is tiny and tools have to be pulled in and off shelves, things are stacked up, and it’s definitely not fancy, so your series resonates. Keep up the good work!
Hi, need to admit that yours videos are not only extremely helpful in the way- full of constructive information but also is just very nice to watch it. All the best😊
Steve, I have watched tons of videos lately and subscribed to a lot of skilled wood workers exhibiting their work. Your stuff is full of learning and entertaining at the same time. I think Blake Long below says it all. I wish you lots of success.
Great video for beginners. I was always confused about the different "cut" terminologies but you have very clearly explained everything. I admire you're style, content, and patience. Thank you.
Thank you Steve. I’m not proud and watching a review of basic cuts was very beneficial. You are in a small group of professionals who can describe what they are going to do and then show how to do it without rambling on. If someone asks ‘What time is it?”, there is no need to tell them how watches are made. Your interesting flow of words keeps the highest percentage of us tuned in ‘till the end. Regards, ...Joe
I’m a little late to this party but I gotta agree with most of the comments and say hands down the best videos on RUclips. He’s like the bill nye the science guy but for wood. Engaging and thorough for my adult adhd he’s perfect !
Take some time and tune your bandsaw. I've used a 12" Sears for years with great results. I've built cedar strip canoes and had to cut 70-80 1/4 x 3/4" strips 18' long with no problems other than what to do with a lot of sawdust. Work on yours, I'm sure you can get the full potential out of it.
Hi Steve, I like almost all your videos. I am a software engineer but I am impressed with wood working these days with the videos you upload. I would be thankful if you can provide a small video for Carr-om board. Mainly the center board with finishing of the board.
Recently got a relatively cheap table saw, (going by reviews), don't use it an awful lot but extremely useful tool when needed. Got fed up trying to rip saw with hand or jigsaw - bloody hard work!! Helpful vid clip, thanx, Barry.
This has to be one of the best videos I have ever watched on YT. So much extremely useful and beneficial information. Thank you, Steve, for sharing this information! New sub!
Recently I inherited my father's table and miter saws. After watching this video i realized that am am incorrectly using them and need to get a hold of the guides and grippers if I wish to be able continue to be able to count to ten.
Steve, Could you do a basics video on squaring boards on a table saw. This was One of my biggest issues when starting out and I am curious to see how you approach and problem solve squaring boards. I have seen you use your router table and explain how to square boards in a past video. As you have stated in several videos we as wood workers are limited and we value our scrap material to use in projects that may have curves or no straight edges to begin with. I seem to struggle at times getting a perfect straight edge only using my rip fence. This will probably seem as common knowledge to most wood worker but for beginners I could see this being useful and hopefully save people time and frustration. Thanks and keep up the good work.
Use a table saw sled that lets you clamp your board for giving the board a straight edge, then just align the straight edge on the back fence for the next cut :)
THANKS 4 this informative video- I am actually thinking of buying something 2 cut some wood pieces 4 my crafting signs and had NO clue what saw 2 buy and now I do 👍🏼
I've had a Delta from Lowes, got it on clearance. Medium duty. Sold it to my dad because I moved and couldn't take it. Some one gave me a hand me down Skilsaw portable. replaced the blade. Works fantastic
+1 on the Mitre Sled idea. I built one based on a previous Ramsay Recommendation and it saves me soooooo much hassle, particularly because my mitre guage has play in it.
I've only recently got into woodwork and bought a table saw. I started trying to do small cross cuts (maybe 8mm width) and wondered why they kept falling through........... you're video has just explained it. Oh and I've also just bought a Mitre saw ;-) great video again.
One. I love your video. Just a couple, oh well three items. The 3/4" is .7500 and 19 mm is closer at .74803 than the 18mm .7087 that you mentioned. Also when using a band saw the blade fence should be lowered closer to the material than in the up position. At our age I use bi-focal safety glasses. I use them all the time, even when I am not cutting in the shop it is so easy to forget to put them on. Very good show.
Recent subscriber and I'll admit that I look forward to your new videos as much as, if not more than, The Walking Dead. Keep them going please! Thanks for all of the knowledge that has helped me get started in this new hobby ☺
Great video! I've made rip cuts with a circular saw with a guide rail and a lot of patience because that's all I had at the time. Wasn't easy or the prettiest, but it got the job done.
I recently bought the plastic aluminum one Kreg makes, I think it's called the Rip-Cut Circular Saw Jig. It was a great $30 solution to get me started.
Ivan Freely I understand where you are coming from (or trying to) but I disagree with that advice. *Don't fear your tools, **_respect_** your tools.* There's a huge difference between those two outlooks. To use a tool, any tool, that you are afraid of means that you are never going to be able to fully focus on the task at hand and that's the one thing that is more likely to lead to injury than anything else. To be distracted by fear of the tool while using the tool is almost a self fulfilling prophesy. To fear your tool is to give over some amount of control to the tool itself and that's a problem. You always need to remember that you are the one fully in control of whatever tool you are using and that that tool can do nothing that you don't make it do _or allow it to do._ DON'T be scared of any tool. I know that can be difficult sometimes but, if you have a tool that scares you, it's usually because you don't fully understand the tool, what it's capable of, or how to use it properly. When you have all those bases covered, that fear will dissipate naturally. If Jesus Balls is scared of that saw, he needs to learn more about it, practice with it, watch others, etc. A tool you are scared of is automatically more dangerous to use.
I recently had to install crown molding for the first time throughout an old house, where i swear not one corner was an exact 90 degree angle, one sure fire way to get ptsd when it comes to miter cuts lol
Andrew DiMartino the old-school way to compensate for the off-90 corner was to straight cut the first piece into the corner, then scribe and use a coping saw to match the second piece's edge to the first molding. This, with practice, is way more accurate than butting two miter-cut pieces together.
Glad I subbed early. Can't wait to see you on TV one day. I learned alot about wood cutting....now waiting on video for ways to put it together!. Screws..pegs or glue Oh My!
Hi. On jobsites I use my jigsaw very often, but me and my collegues use it upsite down. The machine is than under the wood or the sheet with the sawblade sticking out on top. We make pretty accurate cuts like that with a clear view on the cut and supporting the wood from under works fast once you get used to it.
Hi Steve, Writing from Aus. Love your videos. Wondering if you ever use a scroll saw, just that you didn't mention it at all in this episode. I can vever get a precise cut with a jigsaw however, just drilling a hole in the centre, I can attach my scroll blade anc cut a hole. On another note, wood prices are still at a premium here but, even more frustrating is the lack of stock. Unfortunately, a lot of wood is imported so, our construction industry is really suffering. Thankfully, I'm retired and just a hobbyist. Cheers, Stay safe. John.
Knew most of this, but kudos 4 the video. 1 for you: glue & screw a piece of masonite 4" or more to an 8" strip of plywood, place your circular saw against it and cut off the excess. This gives you about an 8" wide guide for the saw that is perfectly straight. Glue pieces of 100-grit sandpaper to the bottom, use a clamp on the far end, and you'll make perfectly straight cuts with your saw, by lining up the edge of the guide with your lines, as the sawcut is already determined by the cut edge of the ply. One warning on this trick though is that the masonite & ply suck moisture differently, so, dry environments only or you'll have warped masonite.
I "resaw" 2x6's in half the long way all the time on my 7 in table saw all the time no sweat. Obviously I have to flip it. No sanding. Looks like its straight from the mill. A really good blade is the key. I actually just resawed a 1x6 piece of walnut in half the long way. Was making a doorbell box and it needed to be lighter. But hes right, you gotta know what your doing. I thought he was gonna mention compound cuts. I think many people are intimidated by those. I love em and their easy.
Best program of woodworking, carpentry, hardware, etc. in RUclips. This program should be awarded as best in RUclips. The beginning is unique when you get cut off lol! The first time and probably the second got me. I thought is was bad editing until I figured it out as the entrance and advertising. Thank you Steve for your teachings! God bless!
dude I´d watch your videos even if I wasn´t interested in woodworking... your good vibes save me the shrink! THANKS!
Somehow in your life you want to build a table your self and brag about it do it not just sit there,do it
He gives off "favorite teacher" vibes
Subscribed. Absolutely fantastic. I'm a 34-year-old total beginner and videos like this help me so much.

Steve, I just wanted to tell you that your videos are by far the most entertaining than other's are (at least what I have watched). I've learned quite a bit about different aspects of wood working from your videos. Thanks.
You have a great since of humor while teaching a lot of things in wood working, helps many of us all ways enjoy watching your video.
Thanks so much. I like keeping things fun. :)

deserve to get paid
Steve, I follow all your videos...one of your best traits other than woodworking is, "your a down to earth guy"...love your style and videos!
That Casper ad was very funny and way more effective than any ad I've ever seen 😂

Steve is fun and skill so eloquently delivered
as a complete novice, this video was very helpful! thanks!
david atfus if you are interested in beginner woodworker videos I have a new channel that you're welcome to check out.
Hi Steve,
Your tips are really helpful, you are really good guru (Teacher). I had also started making my small projects
Thanks mate, terrific explanation of cuts and correct tools for the job.
This has to be one of the best videos I have ever watched on YT. So much extremely useful and beneficial information. Thank you, Steve, for sharing this information! New sub!
my absolute favorite source of inspiration to get back into my favorite hobby ..more power to you steve from the uk
Im am a beginner to woodworking too.....thank you for explaining which saw is best for each cut......this video is very helpful
Declan Kelly I have a few videos for beginner woodworkers, you're welcome to check them out.
Thank you for this interesting video. Here's something all woodworks will find priceless for project ideas and plans
Recently I inherited my father's table and miter saws. After watching this video i realized that am am incorrectly using them and need to get a hold of the guides and grippers if I wish to be able continue to be able to count to ten.
Thanks Man! I understand much stuff now! greetings from El Salvador

Use a table saw sled that lets you clamp your board for giving the board a straight edge, then just align the straight edge on the back fence for the next cut :)
your videos are the perfect way for a newbie like me to learn and youre super charming and funny so it keeps me interested :D
THANKS 4 this informative video- I am actually thinking of buying something 2 cut some wood pieces 4 my crafting signs and had NO clue what saw 2 buy and now I do 👍🏼
😂 Your humor is what separates you and makes you the best wood working channel!
very good video for beginners and not beginners. greetings fron France
I've had a Delta from Lowes, got it on clearance. Medium duty. Sold it to my dad because I moved and couldn't take it. Some one gave me a hand me down Skilsaw portable. replaced the blade. Works fantastic
The most useful video about cutting wood and saws...
The way you used the speed square with the jig and circular saw is something I'd like to copy. A type of saw you didn't mention is the track saw.
+1 on the Mitre Sled idea. I built one based on a previous Ramsay Recommendation and it saves me soooooo much hassle, particularly because my mitre guage has play in it.
Regarding the bandsaw, you need to lower the upper blade guide to just above the surface of your work piece and having a fence does help.
Ivan Freely as well as properly tensioned blade and properly adjusted blade guides.
I've only recently got into woodwork and bought a table saw. I started trying to do small cross cuts (maybe 8mm width) and wondered why they kept falling through........... you're video has just explained it. Oh and I've also just bought a Mitre saw ;-) great video again.
Thanks for your thorough explanation which is really practical, thank you
Hello from Russia! Your videos are so informative, fun to watch, positive, i really like it. Keep up that way, cheers!
One. I love your video. Just a couple, oh well three items. The 3/4" is .7500 and 19 mm is closer at .74803 than the 18mm .7087 that you mentioned. Also when using a band saw the blade fence should be lowered closer to the material than in the up position. At our age I use bi-focal safety glasses.

I love the Casper ad that was funny. Thanks
I love how you never let your microjig adds get old! Your channel is worth watching just for the entertaining commercials alone.
i agree..lol..i seriously laugh every first few seconds in every episode haha
This is my favorite intro you've ever done XD
A Brazilian dentist learning a little more to be able to improve the carpentry skills.
Greetings from Brazil!!!
This channel is the best... makes working fun
Great video! I've made rip cuts with a circular saw with a guide rail and a lot of patience because that's all I had at the time. Wasn't easy or the prettiest, but it got the job done.
Aww, you can rip with a jig and a circ saw. I only have an apartment at my disposal, I had to get really really good at it. XD
I recently bought the plastic aluminum one Kreg makes, I think it's called the Rip-Cut Circular Saw Jig. It was a great $30 solution to get me started.
Great video...love your sense of humor!!!
Great upload. Very informative.
Thanks.
Thank you very much for this list of videos. I learned a lot about wood working basics from this list.
I love my tablesaw. It does nearly everything in my wood shop.
It scares the living shit out of me though.
Stay scared. The day you lose your fear of it, is the day you lose fingers.
I got my first table saw a few days ago, and it has replaced the angle grinder at the most terrifying tool in my shop.
you didn't mention the scroll saw, capable of making almost every cut a band saw can and to cut holes.
Jesus Balls i wish i had a table saw i can imagine how useful it can be :(
Ivan Freely
I understand where you are coming from (or trying to) but I disagree with that advice.
*Don't fear your tools, **_respect_** your tools.*
There's a huge difference between those two outlooks.
To use a tool, any tool, that you are afraid of means that you are never going to be able to fully focus on the task at hand and that's the one thing that is more likely to lead to injury than anything else. To be distracted by fear of the tool while using the tool is almost a self fulfilling prophesy.
To fear your tool is to give over some amount of control to the tool itself and that's a problem.
You always need to remember that you are the one fully in control of whatever tool you are using and that that tool can do nothing that you don't make it do _or allow it to do._
DON'T be scared of any tool. I know that can be difficult sometimes but, if you have a tool that scares you, it's usually because you don't fully understand the tool, what it's capable of, or how to use it properly. When you have all those bases covered, that fear will dissipate naturally.
If Jesus Balls is scared of that saw, he needs to learn more about it, practice with it, watch others, etc. A tool you are scared of is automatically more dangerous to use.
I recently had to install crown molding for the first time throughout an old house, where i swear not one corner was an exact 90 degree angle, one sure fire way to get ptsd when it comes to miter cuts lol
Andrew DiMartino the old-school way to compensate for the off-90 corner was to straight cut the first piece into the corner, then scribe and use a coping saw to match the second piece's edge to the first molding. This, with practice, is way more accurate than butting two miter-cut pieces together.
HAHA!!!!
yep!!!!!!
and have a 45 angle corner cabinet to top that,full to ceiling cabinets:)Nothing at perfect in over a 100 year old house:(
Yeah you should have just coped the corners.
Best micorjig spot in a while
Glad I subbed early. Can't wait to see you on TV one day. I learned alot about wood cutting....now waiting on video for ways to put it together!. Screws..pegs or glue Oh My!
or nails or those twisty socket screws that come with cheap throw together furniture.
Thank you Steve, Blake inspired me with his story to send greetings from a Belgrade Serbia. We follow you even here.
Hi. On jobsites I use my jigsaw very often, but me and my collegues use it upsite down. The machine is than under the wood or the sheet with the sawblade sticking out on top. We make pretty accurate cuts like that with a clear view on the cut and supporting the wood from under works fast once you get used to it.
Trimakasih penjelasan tentang table saw sangat membantu.. 👍
Thank you. Very useful. And practical.
very nice brother.i like it very much.i always see those vedios that inspired me very much. i 'm from india .
I’ve really enjoyed watching your videos. I’m really excited to finish getting my shop set up to start building!
This is a great beginner video! :D
Great ideas and surely will help me with my new table saw thank you very much, like it cheers
Thanks for teaching. Great talent
Love your channel, Steve! So informative and very entertaining! Keep up the great work!
A nice informative video as always. I like your enthusiasm and it is infectious. Ta
Hi Steve,
Writing from Aus. Love your videos. Wondering if you ever use a scroll saw, just that you didn't mention it at all in this episode.
I can vever get a precise cut with a jigsaw however, just drilling a hole in the centre, I can attach my scroll blade
anc cut a hole.
On another note, wood prices are still at a premium here but, even more frustrating is the lack of stock. Unfortunately, a lot of wood is imported so,
our construction industry is really suffering. Thankfully, I'm retired and just a hobbyist.
Cheers, Stay safe.
John.
Very informative Mr Ramsey, your knowledge is outstanding sir. Regards
Awesome video! I am also new to woodworking and I always look forward to your videos for guidance. Thank you Steve!
His videos are so intertaining!!!
Knew most of this, but kudos 4 the video. 1 for you: glue & screw a piece of masonite 4" or more to an 8" strip of plywood, place your circular saw against it and cut off the excess. This gives you about an 8" wide guide for the saw that is perfectly straight. Glue pieces of 100-grit sandpaper to the bottom, use a clamp on the far end, and you'll make perfectly straight cuts with your saw, by lining up the edge of the guide with your lines, as the sawcut is already determined by the cut edge of the ply.
One warning on this trick though is that the masonite & ply suck moisture differently, so, dry environments only or you'll have warped masonite.
I "resaw" 2x6's in half the long way all the time on my 7 in table saw all the time no sweat. Obviously I have to flip it. No sanding. Looks like its straight from the mill. A really good blade is the key. I actually just resawed a 1x6 piece of walnut in half the long way. Was making a doorbell box and it needed to be lighter. But hes right, you gotta know what your doing. I thought he was gonna mention compound cuts. I think many people are intimidated by those. I love em and their easy.
much love from South africa Steve ❤
hi steve! thanks for the infos and more power to your channel.i always watching your videos more often

Always enjoy your thoughtful videos. Thanks for the instructions, worth a review before every projects.
In the other video “how to make a straight cut using a circular saw”, I see that it is possible to make good rip cut with circular saw.
Great again. I learn a lot from you.
