I love the dig a hand-tool guys. I'm the same way. I don't have the time or energy when a motor does all the work for me. Of course, I have a friend who uses a hacksaw to cut pipe every time, but I think that's because every job is an opportunity to maintain his 18-inch biceps.
I happy it was helpful. I do need to make some new videos so if you have ideas or something you’re struggling with I’d love to make a video to help you and others
@@theknottywoodworker5774 nice to meet you ! I´ve got two ideas : a ) Made a wood project with HD manual tools only ( had saw, Miter Box, hammer, chisel, Olson Saw, glue, nails, sandpaper, woodfiller, etc) unleash the power of handtools . And two, make a video of : My idea in paper to -> sKETCHUP to -> real life acomplished project. Geetings from Guadalajara !
Awesome! What in particular did you get out of this video? I’m not just asking randomly, it helps me understand what people need so I can make helpful future videos!
Thank you so much for making this video and sharing your knowledge with the public! I'm not very tool-savvy and have been thinking about how to cut out circles for a woodworking project of mine. Before this video, the only thing I thought to do was to slowly cut away at a block of wood with a hacksaw, carve out rough edges with a carving knife or chisel and then sanding it off (a laborious and inefficient approach) all while hoping for the best. With your guidance, I feel much more confident in taking on this project, and I'm happy to know these methods with give me the straight lines I need. Again, thank you! :) [Edit:] P.S. Your video and instructions are very clear, your transitions are funny, and your approach to your audience is very engaging. I love the silly bits and gags you've sprinkled in. :D
I have to use two by fours in the whole circles. Have to be 2 1/4 inches sometimes or sometimes only 2 inches to fill in the gap. There’s got to be a good way of doing it. I don’t have a big band saw in the jigsaw I’m telling you it’s always bounds in. It doesn’t do a nice circle one side will be wider than the other.
Firstly, this video was AMAZING! And I hope you continue making videos, just give it some time for people to find you! The things I loved about this were the touches, I laughed out loud many times; but also the fact that you were quite synced, covered a great amount of information in a short time, and answered questions I didn’t even realize I had! Thoroughly entertaining and informative! LOVED it. I was watching this on my TV, and even took the extra Effort to bring this up on my phone to leave you a comment.
You’re awesome! Thank you so much. And yes I do plan to keep uploading on RUclips I just haven’t dedicated the time to it. I recently moved, changed jobs, “insert excuse here”, etc. But I do have a plan moving forward and will be back on RUclips soon. I am currently posting on instagram @the_knotty_woodworker_usa
Great! I look forward to it! I know what it’s like to start into RUclips and then get sidetracked by a bunch of things. Happened to me as well. But I subscribed after this one video, so I will be notified whenever you get back to it. 😃 Best of luck on what you have going on and hope to see you soon!
Youre awesome!! Im drilling a hole under my sink in the cabinetry to lead water lines to a washing machine. (1 bedroom apartment). Looks like i need to buy a drill and circular bit. (Im a girl and dont already have one) :)
Great video! Thanks! I have a 9” tall tree round, 18” diameter, and want to make a 10”ish semi-circle cut out so I can slide it into a space for a step. A tall cookie with a monster size bite… I have little experience and wonder what tool/tools I’d use. Thoughts?
Great, I don't know how you aren't big yet, anyways, I'm trying to make out of my dremel tool. I"d like to lay it on its side, attach a wood-cutting disc, like I said, place it on its side on a wooden table then push an inch thick wood I'd like to slice against it with both hands and make a straight cut. I don't have the resources to get these things otherwise I know I would have figured it out, any idea what to do? without buying more fancy Dremel attachments/accesories?
Hey Tony, I want to drill a hole, not a perfect one inside a tree trunk, I don't have a drill machine or something like that. The diameter is 1 inch and I don't want to drill through the tree, only 2 inches inside. I want to insert my pull up bar inside it. Will it be sturdy and how can I drill it.
Ok Great to Understand and easy to do But One thing how ya find the Centre to go on the table saw to make 4 inch wheel makin wheels for Semi trucks Havin Problems tryin to find center thks again Ya Got this Keep them comin ya Got my Subscribe because ya Make it Easy
I know this video is old but when your cutting anything using the disc with a Dremel/rotory tool make sure you use the Dremel brand cutting disc all those no name plastic disc in the Amazon kits are dangerous and basically explode during the cut
How to cut a circle without a hole in the middle? In the middle of the cut out circle I need to drive a screw, but with drill bits and spades the tip cuts a deeper hole in the middle so a screw has no woods to screw into. Think of a circular hole for a cupboard door hinge
I have 3 inch holes in stair risers left behind from insulation company... i need to fill them in with a 3 inch circular piece of wood. in all these situations there is a hole in the middle... well except for the jig saw but that seems too tie consuming considering the sanding that i assume is necessary at the end? any advice?
A hole saw would probably be the easiest and quickest way to make a circle for that. You will still have quite a bit of sanding and prep for paint afterwards to make it seamless
@@theknottywoodworker5774 hmm, so all the hole saws i noticed at hardware store have a pilot bit. that would place a hole i would need to fill in. is there a way to avoid it?
@@sleepingtiger4436 you can start with the pilot bit in then remove it once the hole saw is started. Then flip the piece around so the clean side faces out. Even if it has a hole from the pilot bit you can just fill it. You’ll have to fill the edges of the plug once you glue it in regardless, then paint it all and make it seamless. Or you could replace the whole riser entirely. But more of a project. Just strange that the insulation company cut holes in the risers to begin with, I’ve never seen that before.
Hey Tony, I'm trying to make a case for my coins and i strugle a bit with making a circle holes that doesnt go straight through the board. Just a few milimeters to fit the coins in. Can you give me an advice? Thanks
Jan Zajc I think your best bet would be to invest in a set of Forstner Bits and use a drill or drill press. Those will give you a nice flat and circular indent in the wood. I don’t have a set myself so I can’t speak on which set is best but even a cheap set will accomplish the job, just might require extra sanding afterward.
I strongly advise against cutting circles the way you did with the router table and table saw. One wrong move and you lose your fingers. Powertools are not to be messed with. Use the circle jigs that allow you to keep your bodyparts away from the business end of your tools.
Man, I was thinking the same way watching the video. Are you kidding me? When I saw his fingers close to the router bit rotating that jig. It takes only one slip of the hand to lose one or two fingers. Lol, that’s not funny.
I'm used to larger, corded routers ruclips.net/user/postUgkxfQ5_mgwq6PcudJvAH25t-I4D-3cTPz4z so this was a different experience for me. Basically, this is an incredibly sweet machine, fits well in the hand, etc. It has slightly less power than I'm used to, but that's understandable. Maneuvering freehand takes some practice. These days, it's especially nice to be able to avoid power cords. This is above the level of a hobbyist but below a pro level.

Never thought of 90% of these! Also dying over the How to Tony branding everywhere. Great job!
i guess it is kinda randomly asking but do anyone know a good website to watch new tv shows online ?
Thank you!!! You made my day and my DIY project easier. Now I need one on how to properly use a mini circular saw! :)
Loads to learn. Thanks for sharing your ideas and experience.
Loved your rules re: buying tools. Great rules of thumb.

Really useful and entertaining! Love the transition sound effects!
Hahaha haha the ending. You're my new favorite
these are great ideas Tony. minus the part where your fingers were very close to the rotating router bit.
😂
Great ideas!!
I subscribed!
I just got a hole saw 3” going to try to make some wooden coasters
Nice tips! Thank You!

cutting a circle on a regular saw(miter,hand,...) leaves a chamfer/bevel/fillet(reverse) minimum if raise saw to diameter level.
great. How to, too!
I bought a bag of holes on eBay none arrived there was a hole in the bag :(
Thanks for the info. Semper Fi
Tony you are a legendary mind!

Can be used the hole saw for not cutting all the way through to the wood?????
Great vid thanks....hi to gumbo to 😀😃🥰😍
Genius!

Thanks tony, i like them all but not the last..make circle with table saw is not a good idea
It’s a little scary but with the right set up you can make very accurate circles on the table saw
any tips for cutting a 100 piece.....
8 cm dimitar rounds....?
I used Stodoys instructions for this and I already did it :)
You bought plans to cut circles? Yeah...ok...🙄. Another bot RUclips! When are you going to get all these so I can stop reporting them
I need to cut out 10 inch holes for sub box. And want to use my router. Looking for anything that can make it easier.
Dude that ending hahahah totally caught me off guard

How do you find the center of a circle without complicated techniques?

Can I use a handsaw?
Nice, i just needed a hole and hang it on a nail
12:30 This would work for your router table.
_Have to admit, I was kind of nervous when you used the table saw, _I dont let my fingers get nearly that close to a table saw blade!_
You’ve never lived
I made an adjustable circle cutter for jigsaw . Link here:

@@daringetae5136 I am speaking from very painful, as in 4 fingers painful, experience...
13:09 is not exactly a good example of safety precautions, I would say
What router bit did you use?
A straight bit. They came in a cheap set that I had bought.
Thanks! (is it mandatory for a US carpenter to have a national flag? Quite exotic though, it reminds me my travels around Turkey middle east or India)
Using that jig saw is risky for a beginner would probably take a big of practice to get it down
any tool even with a screwdriver?
Well. Sure....but you’re going to have a bad time woodworking.
I need a small circle
