Should check out the Blue Spruce "Ultimate Coping Saw". I got to use someone else's on a remodel and was thoroughly impressed. I always buy like $5 dollar ones, but everytime I see or use one, I think of the Blue Spruce.
Your approach to sharing your knowledge is fresh, clean and to the point. Rapidly becoming one of my very favorite sources for wood working tools and techniques. I recently had a life changing illness and can no longer do much of what I used to for fun and have found woodworking as my new outlet. You have given me the ability to crash course a lot of knowledge and I'm very thankful for that. Thank you Matt, your efforts are deeply appreciated. Cheers!!
I have 2 scroll saws I use for small (Dremel 20" - unpinned) and a Porter Cable (20" pinned) for larger ones. The unpinned blades work flawlessly in my Concepts fret saw. I can even use a #2s blade for super detail stuff. I buy most of my blades online in lots of 100 or 1 gross. Most excellent saw. As opposed to a scalpel blade, I use an X-Acto blade since they come in so many shapes and sizes. They are also cheap and available at Hobby Lobby. I use a set of machinist/engineer squares that are probably 50 years old and dead on square. Also at least a dozen Speed Squares at places where they are in almost daily use around the farm. The speed squares get brutal use and are still dead on. Great videos. Thanks.
Never did any woodworking or anything related at all in my life, but I still find your videos entertaining. I’m even considering buying the tools just for displaying on my imaginary workshop lol great video
Tell ya what....On your recommendation I went out and bought the Swann Morton marking knife and I quickly learned that I LOVE this F**KING THING...Tanks so much my friend. I just ordered 50 more blades. LOVEITLOVEITLOVEIT ! ! !
I'm intrigued by your marking knife. Here is a suggestion for a video, how about doing one on making the holder/handle for it? Keep up the great content. I really enjoyed the dovetail box series. I used it to cut my first set of dovetails on a hall table. Thanks for all you do.
I bought the Faithful engineers square set about seven years ago. It slides on the top of the tray of my toolbox in its original box (without lid). Still one of my best purchases for 25 £.
Thumbs up for the Gyokucho saws! They make an awesome ryoba as well. That saw was the first hand tool I ever owned that was actually doing what it's supposed to do.
I second that thought, I bought a set of Gyokucho saws and the large ryoba is the first hand saw I have ever tried that can rip 1/4 inch off the edge of an inch thick 8 foot long oak plank in a dead straight line, only took about 3 passes with the plane on a fine setting to clean up ready for finishing. I have never sawn such a straight line by hand before trying this saw. Since buying them, my handheld circular saw has been unused. Less noise, less waste and zero set-up time.
Might be far too simplistic for you and many of your viewers but I'd love to see a tutorial on how you made your own marking knife handle, (I'm a complete novice and trying to work on simpler projects to learn). Thanks for all your vids they are very educational.
I recently purchased both Veritas marking gauges, single and double, from Axminster and they are superb. Well worth the money. Considerably cheaper with Axminster, at present, with fast, free delivery. No i have no connection to Axminster apart from being the occasional customer.
Another great video. I bought a faithfull engineers square already after seeing u use it in previous videos and it's great. When people talk about tools I always find it nice when they give a rough idea of price no matter how expensive or cheap. As always, I'm looking forward to more videos.
I'm a Sunday carpenter and recently I've bought Gyokucho Dotsuki 370 and 372 then I find some interesting thing. 370 and 372 have same blade thickness of 0.3 mm but different tooth set-width/pitch, so they have bit different sawing feel. 370: set width 0.46 mm, tooth pitch 1.0 mm/T 372: set width 0.52 mm, tooth pitch 1.3 mm/T 370 says it's just "胴突(=doutsuki, means "having some stiff back")" on the package while 372 says not only "dotsuki" but also "縦挽" which means "for ripping". 1. When crosscutting, 370 has a bit smoother feel than 372, but actual cut with is almost identical (370 is slightly narrower than 372, due to its narrower set width of 0.46 mm). 2. When ripping, 372 is clearly smoother than 370. Surprisingly, not only that, the actual cut width of 372 is "NARROWER" than that of 370 even 372 has a wider set width; it's a mystery of sawing world. 3. If you want just one saw for tenoning, I recommend 372 rather than 370 because I think 372 is bit more versatile. If you are a tool enthusiast, it's not the case and just buy both.
Awesome information Matt. I love my fret saw 5” version but with the fancy bells and whistles. They are nice but definitely not needed. Take care my friend.
This woodworking book is absolutely comprehensive, *www.WoodPlanner. xyz* It breaks every little thing down, using words, drawings, real photos, and different diagrams. It is incredibly informative and helps me feel like I can help my brother while we make our furniture together.
Hi Matt. Oh my god. I am glad I watched this before giving up and buying a standard western dovetail saw. I’m just starting to cut dovetails and I have a new Japanese dovetail saw from Axminster. I’m only cutting 18mm oak and each cut has taken nearly three minutes and after cutting 64 cuts I am worn out. I can’t believe how fast you just cut them with your saw. I’ll be buying one tomorrow. Also, does the standard blade on that fret saw fit in the cut of the dovetail saw? Mine doesn’t and I can’t find any blades that will. That essentially means that to cut out the waste I’m making additional vertical cuts 🥲. Thanks for the excellent video. I’ve signed up for the school also
Thanks matt, been eyeballing that knew concepts saw for a while and going to pull the trigger finally. Current coping saw works, but the last thing it is, is "fine"
This t.co/SGIXIPXR0z is an amazing book about woodworking. I`m a graduate of a one-year carpentry course from a local tech college. Of all books I`ve read during my study about carpentry, I think this is the finest book I`ve read so far. It explains everything regarding woodworking as well as complements it with helpful photos.?
The author does like to from scratch, ruclips.net/user/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. As another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us don’t have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we won’t be able to practise the full stack project, is still great.
Get a plastic takeaway box, cut a slot in the top big enough for your blades, wrap with duct tape so it doesn't open if dropped, when full of blades, chuck the whole package in the scrap metal bin at the recycling centre and start a new box. Don't use a sharps box from the pharmacist, recycling places won't accept them in case they have medical waste in them.
I notice young carpenters like the cheap (c. £4), plastic handle bevel gauges because they are cheap, light and work well. Light enough to carry in a pocket, cheap enough to replace if lost on-site.
FFS Matt, every time I watch a video of yours I end up spending money. I already have a nice margin gauge from Rutlands but I just ordered the other 4 suggestions! Thanks for making these videos dude. I'm a hobbiest with a barn workshop in greater London (originally from your neck of the woods though) and get loads of info and inspiration from your channel.
I like the coping saw but I would go for the one that swivels. Imagine doing a project where you use the pliers to bend the blade one way, then you need it to be bent the other way, then you need it to be bent the other way, then the other way, then the other and the other and the other and the other and the other, you would end up throwing the tool at the wall after destroying 10 blades!
FYI -- Engineers' squares have a little play in them, so if you drop one, you can hold the handle and whack it back into true by hitting the blade on a firm surface.
Hi Matt great video. I have one of those knew concept coping saw which I use for skirting scribes only. Where do u get blades from I’m struggling to source ones which are not for metal work only
Good stuff! Some of those things will end up on my shopping list for sure. Could you possibly add a .de for amazon as well? I think most Europeans prefer buying in Euro. Easy to find yourself but i think you loose any affiliation then. Im glad you recommended a saw. There's so many of them!
Hi Matt, im going to be getting one of the Fret saws base on your recommendation but i have a couple of questions. One; i noticed they ship it with a skip tooth blade and stock a lot more blades for it, do you know what blades are best for cutting out dovetails ect, honestly don't know anything about different blades and my other question is, is there a easier way to ask you questions about tools ect other then commenting on i video? Many thanks and keep up the great work
The link for the marking blades for the US is dead, the Canadian link says unavailable. I found that Cincinnati Surgical had a box of 50 blades for $12 under their hobby/craft tools section. They also have other shapes and handles. I would also like to see some detail on that knife handle you use in the video.
Hi Walter thanks for finding us and sharing the information. For any US followers yes we have an arts and crafts division that carries only Swann Morton blades as a result of our partnership on the surgical side of the business. Here's the link csartsandcraftsproducts.com/
Quite liked the video, in contrast to this add i got from axminster tools today - Festool Mobile Workshop Complete MW1000-SET A really useful accessory for a cordless drill. Now £619.96 A cordless drill is my one power tool(still got a brace though i hardly ever use it) BUT £620 for an accessory for it, I know Festool is expensive but dont you think that is going a bit far?
I recently moved & decided building my dining room table was less expensive than buying it. I took woodshop in high school & have 9yrs of working with wood (musical instrument repair) but I must admit a lot has escaped me. A few days into my build I stumbled upon your vids & the info helped a lot. Now to start chairs.
Matt, I bought the Pégas coping saw blades from Knew Concepts, but they do not fit into the kerf of my Dozuki saw blade (which I believe is the same kerf size as from your Gyokucho). What am I missing?
Recently picked up the veritas marking gauge and of course was asking myself ‘why didn’t I buy this sooner??’ Really informative as always Matt, keep up the great work 👍🏻 Jamie
Hey man, love your channel. Suggest you also add affiliate links to Amazon Germany...asuming you get your fair share and I can support you using those links
Yeah mate, spread them lats!!! Lol Nice video as always, thank you! I was just wondering which saw and markinc knife should i get to emprove on my chineese ones. This helped me alot! Ps. Would not mind more of theese in the future. Keep it up!
Not everyone knows how to pronounce Japanese words, of course, but I guess folks would like to get close if they can. So, Gyokucho. First thing is to think of it as three syllables: gyo, ku, cho. The first one can be a bit challenging for English speakers, but combining the "g" and the "y" is not so hard if you practice it. Say "big yoghurt" without pausing between the words. There, you just said "gyo." Isolate it and you're good to gyo. The "ku" rhymes with "you" and "cho" rhymes with "go." Gyokucho.
That fret saw is way way beyond my budget ;) $200 Cdn with taxes. Nuts for something that holds a inexpensive blade. Yes its a nice saw, no I won't buy one lol.
Alright mate, just been looking into it and they're currently unavailable from all Amazon stores! Thank you very much for trying to support me, I really appreciate it. But I would recommend getting them elsewhere as Amazon aren't disclosing when they will be available again. Have a good weekend!
no worries mate... thanks for the great videos... i'm new to this game (at the tender age of 48 lol) and start at Cornwall College in 3 weeks doing a level 2 furniture course having done a Saturday skills in tradition furniture over the last 10 weeks...... i love it and can't wait, just need to build up my tool set
For a better marking gauge, check out Hamilton's Tools marking gauge. There is a 4" and 6" version with a variety of wood species and the cross beam make it extremely accurate. www.hamiltontools.com/
Surprised you didn't have a chisel here or a plane. Come to think of it I cannot think of much of any projects that I would call "fine woodworking" wherein I only used hand tools, but only used 5 if you're including all of the measuring/marking tools like this.
I bought a faithfull set with a and absolutely nothing was usefull, the bevel and square was useless and really badly made, the planes was two pieces of shit. But I could use the iron cap I like the screw on design. So two old Baileys was updated with new iron caps.
A drops of hydrogen peroxide in the water stone bath will prevent any bacteria and algae growth and keep the sides of plastic container cleaner .. other than that thank you for a great video
This is an excellent wood working book I have ever read, “Bαzοmο Tdy Plαn” (Google it). Both beginner and a few seasoned woodworker can gain a lot of general details from this reading material. Amazingly, this book has been my partner when I want to look up woods at areas along with other topics such as restoring as well as salvaging spots. .
Hey Matt. The videos are awesome. There is no need to jump around like you're leading a parade with a baton man. We can't even see the items, they're just a blur. JK, I wish I had you're youthful energy again. Seriously though, lay off the Jolt before filming.

I agree with jdblott...it would be great to see how you made the handle for this type of blade. Specifically the brass mounting bits... Thanks!

Another great video. Thanks a lot. I'm going to get myself those scalpel blades.
Nice video and very useful!!! Thank you.
Great summary, thanks Matt 😃👌👏👏👏
Thanks for tempting me to get new tools. Awesome vid. Cheers!
Awesome!!!! Too bad you can't offer them all as a set. I'd buy it right now.
very informative. thanks for a great video. I needed this!
thanks for your videos

@MattEstlea your link is off - it isn't kit.com/MattEstlea, its kit.co/MattEstlea
Do you have a video of how you made your handle for your swann blades
Great stuff. Incidentally-what is the proper way to dispose of used blades?
Get a plastic takeaway box, cut a slot in the top big enough for your blades, wrap with duct tape so it doesn't open if dropped, when full of blades, chuck the whole package in the scrap metal bin at the recycling centre and start a new box. Don't use a sharps box from the pharmacist, recycling places won't accept them in case they have medical waste in them.
Great video.
Cool vid thanks for sharing
53 second dovetails. Nice.
Awesome vid. Any particular reason you chose the Dozuki saw over the Ryoba?
I'm definitely a fan of Japanese saw blades, but somehow I never liked the straight handle. So I made western-style handles which I like very much.
I notice young carpenters like the cheap (c. £4), plastic handle bevel gauges because they are cheap, light and work well. Light enough to carry in a pocket, cheap enough to replace if lost on-site.
Tony Y Yeah, cant see many chippies rocking up kitted with Bridge City...
Thank. Tempting.
Lovely marking knife but where’s the ‘how to make a marking knife to sm 01 blades’ ?
FFS Matt, every time I watch a video of yours I end up spending money.
I already have a nice margin gauge from Rutlands but I just ordered the other 4 suggestions!

Where do you get the handle for your Swann Morton blades?
Ohh,,,,,,,,NWS pliers, VERY NICE
FYI -- Engineers' squares have a little play in them, so if you drop one, you can hold the handle and whack it back into true by hitting the blade on a firm surface.
Ima need you to make me a marking knife handle... thanks
I would do +0.1 or +0.2 on the exposure man
What about sharpening the Japanese saw? Is this why the blades are detachable so that you just buy a replacement? Or can they be sharpened easily?
Those are some great suggestions.
What is the handle you are using for the marking knife with the Swann-Morton blades?
Great video! Thanks!
He said made it.
Hi Matt great video. I have one of those knew concept coping saw which I use for skirting scribes only. Where do u get blades from I’m struggling to source ones which are not for metal work only

A cordless drill is my one power tool(still got a brace though i hardly ever use it) BUT £620 for an accessory for it, I know Festool is expensive but dont you think that is going a bit far?

That Knew Concept Fret saw is being advertised as £72.00 on amazon while it’s cheaper on eBay £68.30 free shipping.....someone should look into this !
thanks Matt, what handle are you using for the sm01 blades please?
Matt, I bought the Pégas coping saw blades from Knew Concepts, but they do not fit into the kerf of my Dozuki saw blade (which I believe is the same kerf size as from your Gyokucho). What am I missing?
Recently picked up the veritas marking gauge and of course was asking myself ‘why didn’t I buy this sooner??’ Really informative as always Matt, keep up the great work 👍🏻 Jamie
You didn’t have one?! WHAAAAAT
Matt Estlea always something else pushing in the queue!

Hi Matt, great videos. Do you a link for Jesus pens pls
Yeah mate, spread them lats!!! Lol
Nice video as always, thank you! I was just wondering which saw and markinc knife should i get to emprove on my chineese ones. This helped me alot!
Ps. Would not mind more of theese in the future.
Keep it up!
Hey Matt, do you have any more Jesus pens?
A coping saw that's a pain in the area to change the angle... sounds awesome
I've read that leaving your water stone in water for more than 10 minutes will soften the stone so it doesn't cut correctly. Have you heard this?
Not everyone knows how to pronounce Japanese words, of course, but I guess folks would like to get close if they can. So, Gyokucho. First thing is to think of it as three syllables: gyo, ku, cho. The first one can be a bit challenging for English speakers, but combining the "g" and the "y" is not so hard if you practice it. Say "big yoghurt" without pausing between the words. There, you just said "gyo." Isolate it and you're good to gyo. The "ku" rhymes with "you" and "cho" rhymes with "go." Gyokucho.
I just realized that I've heard Brits say "yawgurt," so that example could be a problem. "Gyo" rhymes with "go."
Thats incredible! I've never repeated a phrase as many times as I just have with Big Yoghurt. Very interesting, cheers mate :)
That fret saw is way way beyond my budget ;) $200 Cdn with taxes. Nuts for something that holds a inexpensive blade. Yes its a nice saw, no I won't buy one lol.
Other then a couple of brand differences, I use those same 5 tools all the time.
First :) keep the great content comming Matt
Very helpful! Just wish you could learn to cut dovetails quickly. What did that take, 30 seconds? Sheesh. Giving the rest of us a bad rap.
Great common sense video again Matt, hope you enjoyed the holiday break?
Matt!!!!!! Link to the Swann Morton blades and handle isn't working and i want to purchase one :)
BUGGER. Will get it sorted later tonight. Can’t do it on my phone at the moment.
cheers buddy, i'll hold of on my purchase til later ;) Rock on
Alright mate, just been looking into it and they're currently unavailable from all Amazon stores! Thank you very much for trying to support me, I really appreciate it. But I would recommend getting them elsewhere as Amazon aren't disclosing when they will be available again. Have a good weekend!
no worries mate... thanks for the great videos... i'm new to this game (at the tender age of 48 lol) and start at Cornwall College in 3 weeks doing a level 2 furniture course having done a Saturday skills in tradition furniture over the last 10 weeks...... i love it and can't wait, just need to build up my tool set
What blade do you use in the 5" fret saw?
For a better marking gauge, check out Hamilton's Tools marking gauge. There is a 4" and 6" version with a variety of wood species and the cross beam make it extremely accurate. www.hamiltontools.com/
Matt, can you play 'Stairway to Heaven' on your copping saw? ... if so, I'm in.
It'll give me something to do while the glue is drying.
Mark.
Is it just me or does Matt remind you of a young John Snow (stick em with the pointy end)? ;)
Surprised you didn't have a chisel here or a plane. Come to think of it I cannot think of much of any projects that I would call "fine woodworking" wherein I only used hand tools, but only used 5 if you're including all of the measuring/marking tools like this.
I like your accent....
