Since you asked for feedback, here is mine: Yes, I enjoyed the woodworking tips - short, direct, well presented - and would appreciate more in a series.
I bought this as a gift for my friend ruclips.net/user/postUgkxcZqgZ8Ynkiz5n_LxIWRlAicuzmz5kCHG who is just starting out in the world of wood work. He loves it!! There is a great section on different wood and what to use for what kind of job and a similar section for tools as well. The projects in it are things you probably would have a go at with clear instructions, pictures, videos and diagrams throughout. Great for a beginner/amateur wood worker.
Man, these are really useful. I’m always overthinking this kind of thing. Will definitely use the first tip to get the right depth on my half laps. I’d love to see more of these tips.
Okay, I have a request - could you go around your wall and show: A) All of your tools, B) Tell us what they are called C) What the tools can do. It would be awesome if there was a full video just about tools. This would really help me out as English isn’t my first language, so basically while I can speak it freely, I do not know specialised language about woodworking yet - like what tools are made, or what they are intended to do, what kind of motions they have, what they can possibly do or be used for, if one tool can do other things other than say “this is a drill and it drills holes” lol It would be awesome if you could go with all the tools in one video and brief description, and then maybe do a series of videos or shorts on what the tools can do in more depth? I’m pretty sure a good description of a tool’s capabilities can be fitter into a 30-60 seconds short. I’d love it. I’d really appreciate it. Have a think about it. Before anyone goes - “why don’t you just google it?’, it’s often the problem - because I don’t know what to google. Like in my head - there’s an abundance of ideas, but there can be more or better and bigger ideas if my brand would know all of the capabilities of tools or what other people use a certain tool for even if it wasn’t made for that purpose. And as the saying goes - you don’t know what you don’t know, so it’s hard to google what you don’t know, when I try to google so,etching that I don’t know if it exists or what it’s called and I try to describe it to google, often in different languages - I usually 90% of the time end up sifting through pages of bs. And still don’t find what I was looking for. Most often I find what I was looking for from watching other people woodworking/ engineering videos 😅😂
Thanks, I'm a hobbyist woodworker and getting my first FTG blade for dados--about a year ago--was a life-saver (no more chiseling out grooves from ATB blades).
Just commenting to add my own vote to please continue this series. There are a lot of tips/tricks videos but the ones selected here hit that nice balance of extremely useful but not overly obvious.
I just discovered your channel and after watching this video, subscribed. I'm not a precision woodworker and I don't have fancy tools, so tips to work around those limitations interest me. I must say also that you guys are not only extremely talented wood workers, but also extremely talented and innovative videographers! Your use of graphics to explain your work is exceptional. Keep up the good work. Y'all are amazing!!
I am new to woodworking in any serious sense. I find these simple (in the very best sense of the word) tips are so useful. Thank you for taking the time to share them 🙂
Smart viewers! These are great tips. I'll double down on endorsing the painters tape for micro-adjustments. Sneaking up on cuts was the biggest revolution for my projects when I learned the value of it.
Since I have been at this since 1976 all of the tips were solid. One point is that the drill bit idea could present issues. Just keep a few shims handy of the appropriate thickness. Nice work, I enjoy your shows.
My builder is building me a house and I'm going to be doing a lot of the interior finishing. I have lots of oak boards and will be using these tips on a variety of projects. Please keep them coming. And, thank you both!!
I love it. I love the amount of content in a short space of time. Don't get me wrong, I like long videos as well, but if I am about to try something new, I don't always want to sort through a 30 minute video to find the trick I needed!
Thanks for these great tips! Here's a product idea: shim tape. Tape that comes in precise thicknesses, like 0.010" etc. Doesn't have to be a huge roll, but it would really help in sneaking up to the precise width of a dado.
I love the router tip at around 7:15 or so. Adding the tape to move the router over just a hair to get the dado just a fraction larger for the board to fit into the slot is a great idea! Thanks for the other tips too! Great stuff!
Please keep this going. I just finished cutting a couple of half laps and missed the depth and had to sand a bunch to make it look right. The half lap top made so much sense.
Honestly, insanely useful stuff. ALL stuff I have NEEDED on projects and literally ALL stuff I'm going to be using on upcoming projects. Thanks guys, looking forward to more of these!!
Another tip is to use "feeler gauges" as packer pieces. These are super precise thickness strips of metal used in engineering starting at 0.03mm and going up to 1mm. Not very expensive and you can precisely dial in any small increments without adjusting stop blocks etc
Big fan of these. You can also use tape to make dados smaller, if you get a too-loose fit with an exact-width router jig. Set up the jig then put a length of tape against one reference face. Turns a slip fit into a piston fit.
My favorite thing about woodworking magazines is the collection of tips they do. I'm ALWAYS interested in learning how other people have solved or simplified the infinite tasks of woodworking / making.
Brilliant simplicity. Several problems I had been plagued with, particularly the router dado and cutting the dado with the table saw. Thanks, I subscribed.
Thank you! I am a new woodworker and can use all the help I can get. Love your channel, love your style, can't wait to get in the shop and use this to create the tables I wake up seeing in my head.
Cutting exact width dados just keeps getting easier. Great tip! One thing I do when I need a slightly looser fit is to add a playing card to the piece needed when you make that first cut.
These are great tips. I'm one of the guy's that do alot by hand. But I did see another thing in the burning tip. Clean up your sawblade, and you will have a smoother cut, so also less burnings.
I have 1 tip on top of the tip for not having burnmarks on your wood. I set the tablesaw fence a bit wider than the dimension i need, after the cut i dial it in on the jointer to the perfect width and with a perfect edge!
I just recently found your channel and subscribed. I realize this video is 2 years old but I felt compelled to tell you I really benefitted from this one. I’m going to look further in your videos for more, thanks!
Spacer stuff is genius. I did woodworking in middle school and loved it but until recently I only did a couple small projects. Slowly building up my tool collection and have been trying different, random techniques for bookshelves. They…store books and have plenty of minor mistakes. Which is awesome Bc it means I’m learning.
This series is super helpful. I'm just getting started and it's nice to have some quick, easy to remember tips that have huge impact. Between this and your "Taking Math out of Woodworking" I'm feeling much more capable
Hey yes, please continue with this series. I love the way the two of you explain and do woodworking. Well, there's one thing I miss: you talk about the thickness of the wood without using that funny plural. Keep on being foureyes!
Whittier! I grew up there! Makes me all warm and fuzzy thinking about my hometown. Glad to see you guys adding to its history and commerce. I also liked the tips. I’m thinking about getting back into woodworking.
The blue tape tip is really cool, I can think of several ways to this could be used. It might also come in useful at times to do things the other way an make the first pass with the tape and the second without. I've only recently started using blue tape as the big DIY stores in the UK often don't stock it but having started using it I now use it all the time as it is far better than our masking tape.
I remember your guys other video doing a cabinet built in job. I'm a carpenter that works with one other carpenter it works good to build each others skills and challenge each other to constantly improve our work.
Oh, yes. These are simple and very smart tips -- lots of "why didn't I think of that!" in these, but - as you said - they're applicable for lots of cutting tools. They also appear to be really quick and fool-resistant. Thanks!
Lifelong carpenter here. I've often thot, but rarely hear talked about, is building things w/o using a measuring tool. Seems to eliminate a bunch of errors (some from just being tired). These tips are right up my alley!! A) have a contest… all entries built w/o any kind of measuring tool B) have these tips listed somewhere. C) practice them w/ scraps… just for the pure joy of great fitment. D) I can't wait for more… safety tips… storage tips… tool tips… blah blah E) also wondering how big your blue ball will grow
I always enjoy the tips and tricks series videos that the different people who I follow on RUclips post once in a while so I’d love it you guys continued on with yours.
Thanks for this video. I hope you do more, even putting only two tips in a very short video, or splitting one longer video into smaller ones. The first tip on cutting lap joints I've seen before with a slightly different approach. The tip about using a drill bit for a spacer I saw first in an old copy of ShopNotes (might have been before your time). Even so, I'm sure that there are plenty of people new to woodworking who can profit from seeing these. PLEASE, add safety tips from time to time.
all great tips. some comments. 1) on the lap joint you can always test your final depth setting by cutting a kerf width out of the end of each piece (can do both together in one pass) and fitting them together. that'll show you exactly how your lap joint is going to end up 2) a couple points about the last one. (a) you mentioned using a chisel tooth blade, but changing out the blade (twice) might put a dent in the convenience of this tip, though it would work perfectly (with fewer passes) on a router table with a sled. (b) a small point, but you used hex shank bits as your blade width spacer so your spacer is the actually only the drill portion of the bit. dont really like that. would prefer straight shank bits and rely on smooth shank diameter
Great tips and a tour de force on the many applications of the humble shim. It's a good example of how certain basic engineering principles propagate throughout engineering disciplines. Almost like 'axioms' Just one of things I love about woodworking. Thx for sharing.
Miter gauge that came with my table saw was loose in the slot. Wrapped it with a piece of painter’s tape and if fit perfectly with no wiggle. Great tip!
I have used shims for years when cutting dado's in wood. I had access to g10 epoxy sheets of differing thicknesses - 1/8, 1/16. 1/32, and 1/64 inch. I cut thin strips of these and used them to shim my router out from the guide I was using when building shelving units. i used a digital caliper or micrometer to accurately measure the dado I needed to cut, be aware that not all plywood sheets are the same exact thickness so don't assume they are. Most hardwood ply is slightly undersized so if I needed a dado for 3/4 ply I'd use a 1/2" bit and then stack some of those strips to get the correct dado. I did sometimes use tape if I needed a very small shim.
The both of you have such a interesting sense of humor. Over the years I always find my self laughing in the mist of learning something new on the regular. Props on the channel guys
Very useful--please continue. These two guys are in my very short list of woodworking channels I watch regularly. Entertaining, and great at what they do....and this is coming from a largely hand-tool woodworker.
You guys are such an inspiration, I admire your work and follow it. Thanks for sharing. It’s because of guys like you I felt motivated to start on woodworking. Last year after COVID19 put us on isolation. Again thanks !
Really like the last tip with the dado. I’ve seen a piece of wood that fits in a blade kerf rather than a drill bit. This compensates for blade run-out.
Making accurate dados. You can make a very simple, totally adjustable jig just using scraps - lots of YT videos showing this. Or, if you don’t make many, an easy way. Use a router bit smaller than your dado ( eg, if you want a dado roughly 12mm, use an 8 or 10 mm bit). Set the fence and place the board that you want to fit into the dado right up against fence, edge on. Now you cut one edge (the furthest away from the fence). When cut, don’t move the fence but take away the “shelf” board and cut again. The dado will then be exactly the width needed. If you want a looser fit ( eg for a moveable shelf), then you add one thickness of blue tape to the “shelf” board. To be fair, i cut a lot of dados and so made the adjustable jig but the downside is that you need that jog to be as wide as the longest dado you are going to cut. If I have to make a really long dado which is, say, 800mm long, then I use the method I described above.
Love these tips, makes my woodworking easier. Keep it up guys, really appreciated, when I get further into my fun, I'll be watching you whenever there's a new one!
Love the tips. Please make a series and playlist. My passion is to make beautiful pieces and I’m not there yet. You’re one of those channels I consider at the top of the heap in that category so your tips are much appreciated. Thank you!
I have just recently started watching your channel and yes I have subscribed, and although I don't share all the same taste in all projects, not saying your work is bad (all work is subjective), I do find some of your stuff is appealing to me. Your videos are very well done and craftsmanship is fantastic. This is a great video and I'm still learning, finding this is going to help on some up coming projects of my own. Keep up with the great content and projects!
Background music, boys!! I checked out your other videos and you use it, so I'll assume that you will do so for this series. Great tips. Been in the game for 40 years and I still appreciate learning new tricks.

I always think that math and measuring will help me, but it’s often a clever way of approaching the problem that makes everything easier and better
I'm overthinking to and this make a lot of things so much easier. Logical thinking

Yeah! A helpful info graphic tip sheet would be great! (With little cartoon versions of Chris and Sean!)
I'll second that.
Fourth here 👍
I think this is a very helpful series. Would love to see it continue.

"The tape as a micro adjustement" - a tip that is worth it's weight in gold!

Phillips half lap tip is very handy. Then again all the tips are awesome.
That tape micro adjustment is a surefire winner. Thanks for posting. 👍
Yep, happy with this tips and tricks...nice to see/learn from other folks' experience and thought processes!
This is a great idea for a video. There is a world of knowledge out there and I can’t think of a better way to get it into one place.
I remember your guys other video doing a cabinet built in job. I'm a carpenter that works with one other carpenter it works good to build each others skills and challenge each other to constantly improve our work.
Excellent tips. This is why I watch woodworking videos. Thanks

Great tips and a tour de force on the many applications of the humble shim. It's a good example of how certain basic engineering principles propagate throughout engineering disciplines. Almost like 'axioms'
Just one of things I love about woodworking.
Thx for sharing.
This is great! I‘d love this to be a series.
My son also loves listening to you explaining this stuff. He is for months old
Sure he does ..”four”
Gentlemen, the information/content was amazing. Please continue providing this valuable and educational information. Thank you.
Some people are so concerned with learning the tricks of the trade, that they never learn the trade. This quote is on a sign in my shop.
Miter gauge that came with my table saw was loose in the slot. Wrapped it with a piece of painter’s tape and if fit perfectly with no wiggle. Great tip!
I like the short vids. Clear, concise and usable.
I have used shims for years when cutting dado's in wood. I had access to g10 epoxy sheets of differing thicknesses - 1/8, 1/16. 1/32, and 1/64 inch. I cut thin strips of these and used them to shim my router out from the guide I was using when building shelving units. i used a digital caliper or micrometer to accurately measure the dado I needed to cut, be aware that not all plywood sheets are the same exact thickness so don't assume they are. Most hardwood ply is slightly undersized so if I needed a dado for 3/4 ply I'd use a 1/2" bit and then stack some of those strips to get the correct dado. I did sometimes use tape if I needed a very small shim.
Yes please, more!
There are lots of tips out there but you guys shooting and explaining them nicely is a bonus!
Love the tip on better lap joints by using the tablesaw itself ! simple but so effective
That last tip is exactly what I need for my next project. Thanks guys.
The both of you have such a interesting sense of humor. Over the years I always find my self laughing in the mist of learning something new on the regular. Props on the channel guys
The comments about the use of tape and the drill bit for offsets were very useful. Why didn’t I think of that !
Very useful--please continue. These two guys are in my very short list of woodworking channels I watch regularly. Entertaining, and great at what they do....and this is coming from a largely hand-tool woodworker.
I hope they continue, I've saved it to my 'tips' playlist.
This is a great idea for a you tube show! You have my attention. Thanks guys.
GREAT idea. Clear, to the point. Pure protein knowledge. Thank you!
Next level tips! Not just the usual use tape to prevent tear out on plywood. I really enjoyed it. Keep it up.
You guys are such an inspiration, I admire your work and follow it. Thanks for sharing. It’s because of guys like you I felt motivated to start on woodworking. Last year after COVID19 put us on isolation. Again thanks !
You guys are a great mix of corny, and insightful. Thank you, I picked up a LOT of good info!!
Really like the last tip with the dado. I’ve seen a piece of wood that fits in a blade kerf rather than a drill bit. This compensates for blade run-out.
I learned a couple of things, and that's what life is all about. Nice job!
This better not be the last tips and tricks video. Well done. More please
I'm glad to see you young kids getting into woodworking.
That was a lovely set of tips! Very comforting and informative. Cheers,Rob
I don’t usually like tips videos because I know em, but this one had to I will definitely implement. Thank you !
Making accurate dados. You can make a very simple, totally adjustable jig just using scraps - lots of YT videos showing this. Or, if you don’t make many, an easy way. Use a router bit smaller than your dado ( eg, if you want a dado roughly 12mm, use an 8 or 10 mm bit). Set the fence and place the board that you want to fit into the dado right up against fence, edge on. Now you cut one edge (the furthest away from the fence). When cut, don’t move the fence but take away the “shelf” board and cut again. The dado will then be exactly the width needed. If you want a looser fit ( eg for a moveable shelf), then you add one thickness of blue tape to the “shelf” board.
To be fair, i cut a lot of dados and so made the adjustable jig but the downside is that you need that jog to be as wide as the longest dado you are going to cut. If I have to make a really long dado which is, say, 800mm long, then I use the method I described above.
I’m halfway through and all of these have been useful to me so far. Keep these videos coming.
I will watch every single video from this tips series.

I have just recently started watching your channel and yes I have subscribed, and although I don't share all the same taste in all projects, not saying your work is bad (all work is subjective), I do find some of your stuff is appealing to me. Your videos are very well done and craftsmanship is fantastic. This is a great video and I'm still learning, finding this is going to help on some up coming projects of my own. Keep up with the great content and projects!
These are great helpful things to try and remember. Please keep them coming TY
