Top tip: When you fit the first aluminium track, fit it about 1" further in than you need, then run your saw down it and it will cut the working edge perfectly parallel; no measuring = no room for error. 😃
Also thought that might be an idea. Another improvement (although much harder to do, I guess) would be to cut the jig width slightly undersize and put a strip of the self-adhesive splinter guard on there. As used on track saws.
Also, instead of making it so big on the off cut side, you can add another L bracket and make it for your router for grooves, dadoes, and rabits. You can use the side you don't need for clamping it to your workpiece. Or you could make it for your jigsaw. Two jigs in one.
My wife is a biologist/trainer who designs online training for US Govt biologists. I got her to watch this video and she said you tick ALL the boxes. Entertaining, informative, detailed without being overly so. In short, 10 out of 10! Said it was a GREAT example of online teaching. Oh, and I made my SC1000 this evening!!! Thanks rippa!
G'day PC 👍 Thanks so much for that comment mate...l really appreciate it! Well done on the SC1000....Hope it serves you well for many years to come 👍 Have a great weekend 👍🇦🇺😁
I appreciate the fact that you use a big old circular saw like a lot of us, as opposed to the fancy cordless models you see in lots of videos. Between this and your CSG 1000, I’m starting to think I don’t need to get a table saw-which is making me happy.
I wish I would have found a saw like this years ago! It does everything that we have asked of it so far. Works great ruclips.net/user/postUgkxjpBI8OOeUXib_iT7UomCrQ-uauwZJ62c on cutting composite siding and plywood sheathing. I probably would not try to use it all day cutting 2X boards, but it's just the right size to throw in a job bag vs. your conventional heavy circular saw. Operating instructions very clear. Came package well. I would definitely recommend you buy this for a friend!
Nice jig! Additional tip: Before you screw the aluminum track to the wood, use a smooth file to ease the sharp edges on both ends of the tracks. You'll save yourself from leaking the valuable red stuff all over your shop. Cheers!
Love the project, Shane! Might I add three tips/additions? 1. Before using the SC1000 on a board for the first time, run the saw through once with no stock underneath. That way, in case your jig isn't exact to your blade, this will cut off any excess so it won't transfer the error to your first cut. 2. Attaching something to the underside of the jig so there's less chance of it sliding while making cuts. Something like sandpaper, grip tape, or foam padding. Something thin enough your saw's baseplate won't slip under you jig. 3. Add some furniture wax to the guide. Less friction for your saw, and lessens the marring of your jig.
All great tips there M.H 👍👍. I was looking for some of that grippy stuff to go under it but couldn't find any where l live.....some of the drawbacks of living in a rural setting l guess. Thanks for watching mate 👍😁🇦🇺
I’d been using a very subpar DIY cutting guide for the last few years. Just built yours and it’s a real game changer! Pretty fun to make too as I’ve never worked with metal. Many thanks!
@@diyforknuckleheads i think its kind of funny you using your tool that came with your saw to cut straight lines to make another tool to cut straight lines lol
I work in signage and was looking at buying a track saw to cut ACM panels. Now I don't have to!! I can make one of these bad boys!! Thanks Uncle Knackers!!
Thank you very much for your wonderfully entertaining training sessions which are entirely practical and relevant to the beginner. So many things that you think will be easy for the first time turn into a spaghetti of wrong turnings and misadventures that do leave you thinking that you are a knucklehead. But there is hope yet and you are definitely shining the light
The SC1000 saved me so much time. Love it and love the name too. I appreciate you jazzing it up, I didnt have time to do that but will do at another time. Also I prefer 4” for the cut out. Thank you for your not only a very useful jig but a very entertaining instructional, I purchased a cutting guide a few years ago for those straight cuts with a circular saw but this jig is way better and far more accurate.
Whilst the jig I built for my circular saw is not as fancy as yours (mine is just some hardboard and a strip of pine), the idea to make a jig came just in time for my recent project (building a sim rig for racing games). I had never been able to cut particularly straight with my circular until I built this jig - what a HUGE difference. I used quite thin hardboard for the base as I had some cuts where holding and clamping was going to be difficult. The thin hardboard allows me to staple the jig into place before making the cut. Thanks for the great tips!
Thanks a million for this video. I finished my own SC1000 today and it is perfectly accurate. Btw your presentation is so excellent, I watched the video twice and then went on to make it without having written down a single thing. Looking forward to more. Regards.
Hey Uncle, After I built this jig my neighbor told me I cut really square. At first I thought he was making fun of me, like I was a nerdy square. But, a couple days later I realized he actually was talking about the cuts in my plywood. Wow, my jokes are getting to be as bad as yours. But, seriously, I love your channel. I just recently discovered it. I hope you're still making videos. Thank you.
Great video ! I've been doing a lot of circular saw cutting recently. Using a combination square to get offset of blade to edge of base while using a long straight edge clamped to project. This would have saved me so much time!! Thanks for another informative video. Now going to circular saw vid
Just built my own S.C. 1000 it's fantastic. Thank you Uncle for helping this Knucklehead. Please, keep up the Informative, Instructional and entertaining videos as I hope to learn a lot from you as I begin my journey in woodworking.
My daughter when she was 2, woke me up at 6am (after I had worked a 12 hour shift and had gone to bed at 2am) with a tomahawk chop to my teeth with an iPhone 5. She chipped my front tooth and solidified why I love her so much 🤣
Best saw guide yet! The music goes so well with the vid too. Not too loud, not too lairy. The end product is better than the shop-bought aluminium ones.
Only thing I would do differently is set that long angle piece back 1/4", then your first pass sets your zero against the blade much like setting up the splinter guard on.a track saw
Good point, but then you run a risk of losing your 90 degree factory corner, which is kinda the whole point of the jig. Don't get me wrong, you're absolutely right about the perfect saw line calibration, but for the weekend hobbyist this solution might give the best results with the least fuss.
@@TheLastPharm but the accuracy of the cut angle is already limited by how well you've fitted the guide rail. If that's not perfect, the factory edge isn't going to help. If I was to make this, I'd use a framing square to set the angle of the guide rail rather than trusting to pencil marks against the base plate of the saw.
Howzit Uncle Knacks, Paul here from SA. Planning on fitting out a camper truck & have too (budget) build all the internal joinery/ cabinets etc. myself, my carpentry skills are limited. Will mainly be working with ply sheeting, researching the tools I might need, table saw, track saw, mitre saw & circular saw, I could easily spend R45k/😬, not in my budget. I bought the circular saw (a decent Bosch) & made this plus 2x your straight cut jigs, can now do everything I need & it cost less than R3k!!! 🙂😉Thanks mate!
Brilliant! I’ve seen some videos where the aluminum guide was mounted on the plywood a bit wider than the width of the circular saw. The excess was then cut off by running the saw along the guide. This makes sure that the aluminum guide and the track edge are exactly parallel. Your second short piece of aluminum is novel and squares everything up! I will definitely incorporate your idea into my track saw guide.
I’m usually ‘up the creek in a barbwire canoe, with no paddle’. Thanks uncle knackers for sharing your skills, it’s on my build list as soon as the weather gets better, round about March.
Hey Mate, love the video! I've been dabbling in woodworking for the past few years but just never got the hang of getting that straight circular saw cut. Very helpful video. Unfortunately in my locale the plywood cutting machine must be on the fritz because at our local Home depot I'm not sure any of the plywood actually has 4 straight edges.
Previously I was scared of circular saw and I was using jigsaw which never cuts straight but after watching this I m pretty confident that I can use it for my straight wood cutting. Thanks 👍
Yeah Philip....as soon as l said it l knew it didn't sound quiiiiitttteeee right 🤔🤔 Think l need a new Joke writer mate 😂.....Thanks for watching mate 👍😁🇦🇺
Hi knackers...lol,I made this cutting guide this morning after watching your video last night and I have to say it's the best one I've had so far as I have made a few cruder ones in the past but this one is Bob on I'm chuffed with it thanks for sharing your knowledge best regards from the UK, thankyou uncle.
@@diyforknuckleheads 1:15 yep, I wasn’t watching the video at the time and rewind that to see if there was a look or wink 🤣🤣🤣. Also nice comment that 7 inches is small 😏🤣🤣
Managed to build my own version this weekend. Had to puzzle over the instructions a bit as I soon realised Makita saws don't all have the blade on the same side (ie your handle is on the LHS, blade to the right, mine is the opposite, blade LHS, handle on the right). Figured it out eventually! Made a few mistakes but all a good learning curve for a newbie DIY-er. 👍🏼
As a Canadian, I can confirm that the term is " up the creek without a paddle ". Immigration to Canada at one time depended on having sex in a canoe and losing a paddle during the process was an automatic failure. I believe they also removed moose calling and bear wrestling during that revision of the Immigration Act.
That settles it. This is now going to be the second project of yours that I'm going to do. Made your stackable saw horse set plus a second, narrower set this week and I'm loving it! Side tip: if you're cutting large sheets, use a big piece of XPS insulation foam as a backer so when the circular saw blade goes though, it's not cutting the concrete below.
Yeah Great tip re the foam A.S!.....used that before and loved it 👍👍 Well done on the horses.....mine are still going strong after many years of reckless abuse 👍😂 Thanks for watching 👍😁🇦🇺
I love the fact that you edit "what not to do" in your videos! THAT IS SO ME! Little comedy relief along with very serious and to the point safety tips! Keep you the great videos!
Made this up this weekend. A change I made was to add in three routed grooves parallel to the bottom edge; the idea here is that I can use it to mount a removable fence (made up for each job from scrap so that it's the same width as the material being cut) so that I can get consistent width cuts, as I don't have a mitre saw. I'll see how that goes next weekend...
Very nice jig. Makes me want to buy a circular saw just so I can use it. The only problem is that it's too small! You really need to build a 1220 model since a very common cut for a large jig like this will be a full plywood sheet. Using a thicker piece of aluminium angle on the bottom end will mean not having to make the plywood part of the jig so wide since the metal will be strong enough to extend a fair way past the plywood part.
Wow. What a video. easy and simple and economical way to make cross cuts. out of all the cross cut circular jig videos i have seen out there, i am most inclined towards building this jig. this video goes into my "woodworking must" playlist and you have earned another subscriber. keep up the great work.
Thanks for this. I will try to make it tomorrow. Just today I was trying to make a straight cut on my circular and was going crazy and then this video popped up in my feed.
Michael....you may need to go to our local hardware store or metal merchant.....Just remember that ou need to get the lowest profile you can otherwise the motor of the saw will hit it. Good luck 👍
This is a great idea for a saw guide, I would add a long slot at an angle through the centre of the top. So I could add a through bolt attached to a wooden stopper and a wing nut or turning knob. So it could clamp itself onto the ends of material. Or add thin layer of rubber underneath so it grips to the material
Im currently in the middle of building this design with modifications from another design, but since I have a worm drive saw I have to reverse the cutting side on this build which Im now realizing makes it impossible to use a handle like you have. I guess I will just have to rely on clamps even though I was looking forward to using all these beautiful handles I had sitting around.
My battery-powered saw(s) have the blades on the opposite side and I am a right-hander. I plan to reverse the jig and I think it will be "comfortable" enough and still safe... the "keeper" side of the wood will be on the right side instead of the left... it will still work. Thanks.
That a great accessory, Thanks. I usually clamp a piece of wood to get a straight line, but I bet it is never square as well. I'm Building a pigeon coop and decking out a shed soon, so this came up at the perfect time! Who said watching RUclips videos was a waste of time? On Ya Mate!
Hi uncle, I love your videos, your tips and your sense of humour, keep up the good work! I'm learning woodworking and I came across a rather peculiar problem. I live in a rented flat size of a shoebox, the only way to do my DIY stuff and not to bother the Mrs is to do it on a flat roof of the neighbour. Which means no band saws, no table saws, using small battery tools and handy jigs and guides. I love this triangle guide and I thought, this will be a very useful tool in my toolbox, handling many jobs in a clever way. I tend to do some careful planning on the computer before I make the first cut, itt helps me to troubleshoot the idea before I buy something I don't need or even worse, finding flaws in the design before wasting materials. I made the plan for this jig, wanted to measure the height of the aluminium fence that fits under the motor of the saw aaaaaand I realised that my saw is a lefty. To me, this feels natural, and I know, most worm drive and battery circular saws are lefties, but this jig is righty. The obvious modification to this project is to flip it left to right, but it creates another problem: only the slim side of the shoe is on the jig, the body is not really supported. Does anybody have a good jig design to do quick right angle cuts with lefty saws?
Tricky one mate but personally, l don't have a real problem with only the slim side being on the good piece. A firm grip on the saw and with pressure applied to the guide it works for me basically 100% of the time. 👍😁🇦🇺
@@diyforknuckleheads To be honest, it's my limitations, namely the tiny flat (no power/water in the garage) and the budget that's making the decisions for me. I'll definitely discover my options, but for now this is what I have to make things work. Aaaaaand it did work, I designed a lefty jig for this scenario. I admit, it's bulkier, but can do 90/75/60/45/30/15 degree cuts. I'm making a crosscut jig after this and a little extra feature for the first is on the way, to cut keyed mitres for frames. I'll link photos if you're interested. :) The next big project will be a drawer chest with shelving, this is why I need the jigs BTW. (I'm learning woodworking, I'm learning 3D CAD design, designing my tools and I'm 48. Better late than never… :D But so much fun and definitely rewarding.)
Hello my friend, good information. Good idea for accurate square cutting. Good apparatus. I would like to make this apparatus. Congratulations. Thank you for sharing. I wish you have a nice weekend. See you. Big greetings. Best regards....
One tip I’ve found helpful is to rub saw base with wax paper to keep it sliding easy on that nice new jig “we” just made! Lol have a great year ,lookin forward to more!
Mass produce this unit. Im sure you can make alot of money on this. Im a carpenter and i would not hesitate to buy this if it was on sale. Great video.

Fantastic! Well done W.R. and thanks for the feedback 👍😁🇦🇺
Finally someone on RUclips with that sweet metric measurements 😂 every other DIY woodworking channels all use stupid imperial
Cheers Adam 👍😁🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
What's the problem cant you read imperial measurements lol
Nothing wrong with either system. It's what you're comfortable with. As long as you get the result, does it really matter.
Negative much?
@@philbreau Nothing wrong. Nothing? Quick! What's 9/64 - 1/4?
This is my project for the weekend - my 1st!
Good luck with it Dave! 👍😁🇦🇺
As a Canadian, I can confirm that the term is " up the creek without a paddle ". Immigration to Canada at one time depended on having sex in a canoe and losing a paddle during the process was an automatic failure. I believe they also removed moose calling and bear wrestling during that revision of the Immigration Act.
😂😂....Classic...love it Michael 👍😁🇦🇺 Thanks for watching mate 👍
This is by har the best and simplest way I've seen this made. Makes it easier for people just starting to work with wood like myself.
Cheers Michael! Appreciate the feedback mate and thanks for watching 👍🇦🇺😁
it's actually "Up shit creek without a paddle" :-)
👍😂
I was going to say that, but I didn't want to curse. Bu it's " shits creek "
Best cutting jig I've seen by far
Thanks mate! 👍😁🇦🇺
I wish you were my real uncle.
Thank you I made it and it works,.Finally I can start building my kitchen draws
Well done Melrose! 👍😁🇦🇺
Where I come from it’s “up shit creek without a paddle”
Same here mate but thought l probably shouldn't say it 😂😂 Thanks for watching Stuart 👍😁🇦🇺
… you can also add "in a barbed-wire canoe” 😂
@@puffhector 😂
Glad to have the knucklehead back in 2021! Great jig too!
Cheers James! Bring on 2021 mate 👍😁🇦🇺
Don't feel bad, pal. I broke off the edge of a molar on some chocolate pudding. PUDDING!
Hahahahahhaha....you win 😂 Blokes my age should be sticking to cold soups 😂 Thanks for watching mate 👍😁🇦🇺
-- avoid 'painless' dentists: i woke up choking on a poorly installed filling. popped another chewing gum.
- without dental coverage, I was up the creek without a paddle.
Fantastic. I happened by and you provided 2 tricks that made a current island range hood mount install much easier for me.
My pleasure David! Glad l could be of some assistance. Thanks for the feedback 👍😁🇦🇺
Cheers Knackers! On mine, I gave the ply that supports the saw a light sand and then topped it with some paste wax for a nice smooooth glide
Good stuff mate! Yeah that would work really well 😁👍
Mantap baget ini video tutorial bapak yang satu ini...
Terima kasih Yoon 👍😁🇦🇺
That settles it. This is now going to be the second project of yours that I'm going to do.
Made your stackable saw horse set plus a second, narrower set this week and I'm loving it!
Side tip: if you're cutting large sheets, use a big piece of XPS insulation foam as a backer so when the circular saw blade goes though, it's not cutting the concrete below.
Yeah Great tip re the foam A.S!.....used that before and loved it 👍👍 Well done on the horses.....mine are still going strong after many years of reckless abuse 👍😂 Thanks for watching 👍😁🇦🇺
@@diyforknuckleheads One other thing, after you have chowdered the top of the I-beam, you can unscrew the legs and flip the I-beam over!
Great jig uncle Knackers!! Love it!!!
Thanks Ainslee....much appreciated !! Hope you're having a great weekend 👍😁🇦🇺
I love the fact that you edit "what not to do" in your videos! THAT IS SO ME! Little comedy relief along with very serious and to the point safety tips! Keep you the great videos!
Cheers mate! Glad you enjoyed and found the video useful 👍😁🇦🇺
الأداة رائعه ومريحه جدا في الاستخدام وتطبيقها سهل جدا شكرا لك 👍🏼
شكراً جزيلاً. سعيد لأنك أحببته وشكرا على ردود الفعل 👍😁🇦🇺
Awesome video! All I have is a circular saw, hacksaw, and a pull saw. This looks like a jig I can actually make! Thank you! 😊
Glad you liked it Jennifer and good luck with it 👍😁🇦🇺
I always watch your videos when I’m having a crappy day. Your one of the few people with humor that kicks my crappy days ass!
Fantastic!....Glad to be of some help mate....I really appreciate the comment. Cheers 👍😁🇦🇺
This guy is the full aussie package absolutely perfect
👍😁....Thanks Cameron! Appreciate the comment mate and thanks for watching 👍😁🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
One of the best ideas I've seen. It's perfect. You should sell them!!! I'm making one this weekend.
👍😁....Thanks mate! Glad you liked the vid and thanks for taking the time to watch! Cheers, 👍😁🇦🇺
Made this up this weekend. A change I made was to add in three routed grooves parallel to the bottom edge; the idea here is that I can use it to mount a removable fence (made up for each job from scrap so that it's the same width as the material being cut) so that I can get consistent width cuts, as I don't have a mitre saw. I'll see how that goes next weekend...
👍😁....good idea Robert 👍
Not sure why I can’t stop remembering Austin Powers while watching this video!! Yeah baby yeah!!!
👍😁
I'm a beginner and I love your videos, they are easy to follow and learn from and you lighten the mood and make me laugh. Keep the dad jokes coming!
Thanks Krickette! Glad you like the vids 👍😁🇦🇺
Very nice jig. Makes me want to buy a circular saw just so I can use it. The only problem is that it's too small!
You really need to build a 1220 model since a very common cut for a large jig like this will be a full plywood sheet. Using a thicker piece of aluminium angle on the bottom end will mean not having to make the plywood part of the jig so wide since the metal will be strong enough to extend a fair way past the plywood part.
Made one, very useful. Use it almost every day. Knackers from Perth
Good to see we have another bonafide Knackers 😂 Thanks for watching mate 👍😁🇦🇺
paddle..I'm Canadian. We are born with one in our crib. Cheers from British Columbia
Hahahhahaha....Thanks Bruce 👍 Greetings from Australia mate 👍😁🇦🇺
This guy is the best. Always has great ideas for the diyers. 👍
Cheers Phillip! Thanks for the feedback mate 👍😁🇦🇺
Wow. What a video. easy and simple and economical way to make cross cuts. out of all the cross cut circular jig videos i have seen out there, i am most inclined towards building this jig. this video goes into my "woodworking must" playlist and you have earned another subscriber. keep up the great work.
👍😁....Welcome aboard mate! Glad you liked the Jig and thanks for taking the time to watch. Cheers 👍😁🇦🇺
The price that plywood has grown, this videos os becoming more and more crucial!
👍👍
Thanks for this. I will try to make it tomorrow. Just today I was trying to make a straight cut on my circular and was going crazy and then this video popped up in my feed.
And what if I can't get the same size aluminum angle you suggest? I've been looking online and can't seem to find those measurements.
Michael....you may need to go to our local hardware store or metal merchant.....Just remember that ou need to get the lowest profile you can otherwise the motor of the saw will hit it. Good luck 👍
Very informative video delivered with great Aussie humour that makes learning easy. Ta very much.
Cheers Mark! Thanks for watching mate 👍😁🇦🇺
This is a great idea for a saw guide, I would add a long slot at an angle through the centre of the top. So I could add a through bolt attached to a wooden stopper and a wing nut or turning knob. So it could clamp itself onto the ends of material.
Or add thin layer of rubber underneath so it grips to the material
Great tips there mate 👍👍
THANKS for including inch measures!!
No worries David 👍 Thanks for watching mate 👍😁🇦🇺
Im currently in the middle of building this design with modifications from another design, but since I have a worm drive saw I have to reverse the cutting side on this build which Im now realizing makes it impossible to use a handle like you have. I guess I will just have to rely on clamps even though I was looking forward to using all these beautiful handles I had sitting around.
If I had an SC1000 at the time I could’ve used to the trim the ends of the PS5000000 nice and square. Love it mate
😂...Cheers Luis👍👍😁🇦🇺
My battery-powered saw(s) have the blades on the opposite side and I am a right-hander. I plan to reverse the jig and I think it will be "comfortable" enough and still safe... the "keeper" side of the wood will be on the right side instead of the left... it will still work. Thanks.
👍....It should work Phil 👍....Thanks for watching mate 👍😁🇦🇺
That a great accessory, Thanks. I usually clamp a piece of wood to get a straight line, but I bet it is never square as well. I'm Building a pigeon coop and decking out a shed soon, so this came up at the perfect time! Who said watching RUclips videos was a waste of time? On Ya Mate!
👍...Thanks Brian! Like you, I still use the clamp and a straight edge when doing long cuts 👍 Good luck with the pigeon coop 👍😁🇦🇺
Hi uncle, I love your videos, your tips and your sense of humour, keep up the good work! I'm learning woodworking and I came across a rather peculiar problem. I live in a rented flat size of a shoebox, the only way to do my DIY stuff and not to bother the Mrs is to do it on a flat roof of the neighbour. Which means no band saws, no table saws, using small battery tools and handy jigs and guides. I love this triangle guide and I thought, this will be a very useful tool in my toolbox, handling many jobs in a clever way. I tend to do some careful planning on the computer before I make the first cut, itt helps me to troubleshoot the idea before I buy something I don't need or even worse, finding flaws in the design before wasting materials. I made the plan for this jig, wanted to measure the height of the aluminium fence that fits under the motor of the saw aaaaaand I realised that my saw is a lefty. To me, this feels natural, and I know, most worm drive and battery circular saws are lefties, but this jig is righty. The obvious modification to this project is to flip it left to right, but it creates another problem: only the slim side of the shoe is on the jig, the body is not really supported. Does anybody have a good jig design to do quick right angle cuts with lefty saws?
Tricky one mate but personally, l don't have a real problem with only the slim side being on the good piece. A firm grip on the saw and with pressure applied to the guide it works for me basically 100% of the time. 👍😁🇦🇺
@@diyforknuckleheads To be honest, it's my limitations, namely the tiny flat (no power/water in the garage) and the budget that's making the decisions for me. I'll definitely discover my options, but for now this is what I have to make things work. Aaaaaand it did work, I designed a lefty jig for this scenario. I admit, it's bulkier, but can do 90/75/60/45/30/15 degree cuts. I'm making a crosscut jig after this and a little extra feature for the first is on the way, to cut keyed mitres for frames. I'll link photos if you're interested. :) The next big project will be a drawer chest with shelving, this is why I need the jigs BTW. (I'm learning woodworking, I'm learning 3D CAD design, designing my tools and I'm 48. Better late than never… :D But so much fun and definitely rewarding.)
I really wish I can make one myself. Good job. Thanks for sharing.
👍😁
Hello my friend,
good information. Good idea for accurate square cutting. Good apparatus. I would like to make this apparatus. Congratulations. Thank you for sharing. I wish you have a nice weekend. See you. Big greetings. Best regards....
Thanks Sahane! Appreciate the feedback mate and thanks for watching 👍😁🇦🇺
One tip I’ve found helpful is to rub saw base with wax paper to keep it sliding easy on that nice new jig “we” just made! Lol have a great year ,lookin forward to more!
Yeah great tip re the wax paper...l'm going to do that 👍 Thanks for watching mate and l hope you can stick around for more 👍😁🇦🇺
Another GREAT tip.
Thank you Sir. Stay Safe and God Bless.
