  • That's one of the best 'useful tools' for woodworking I've come across. Nothing gimmicky, all quality tools and a really great run-through and demo.
  • @JeffRL1956
    Re: #4: I've found that many people don't know that the "squeeze pressure" of spring clamps is adjustable. Just use a screwdriver to slightly loosen or tighten the pivot screw and you'll change how tightly they clamp. It's important to make the adjustment when they're not clamping anything. Otherwise, you run the risk of stripping the threads. It only takes a small amount of adjustment to have an effect, so experiment a bit and get a feel for it. This works for every size of spring clamps I own, as long as they use a screw (actually a bolt and nut) as the pivot point and not a rivet. If you have a lot of clamps (don't we all?), adjust some to slightly lower pressure and others to higher, then either keep them separate where you store them or maybe put a dab of paint or use a grease pencil to mark one or the other group. That way, you won't have to adjust them every time you use a spring clamp when you need more or less pressure.
  • A caveat: using a tiny square to square up your table saw blade will only be effective if you can guarantee that the red throat plate, surrounding the blade, is level with the table top.
  • @kcwliew
    Just wanted to say thank you for putting this content out. There's a lot of wood working channels out there but a lot of them are super verbiose and I just fall asleep listening to them! You're to the point, straight forward and I've learnt so much. Wish I'd found you BEFORE I built my work bench!!! Argh nothing was straight but now I've found out why!
  • @giobianchi3232
    I love that mini square! I need the pink one. Your videos are great and I love your drawl. One thing with that thin rip tool and safety, turn the table saw off before grabbing the off cuts off the left side of the blade. Pieces can still kick back on that side, especially with little thin pieces
  • @brentfowler2317
    I like the pins. However I have the woodpecker version of that square. I love that thing. Thanks for another awesome video Matt!!
  • Great practical info. I purchased the spring clamps and stretched short lengths of bicycle inner tubes over the ends to make clamps for attaching hardwood edging to plywood. There are several videos explaining this simple hack. Bottom line, I ended with 10 clamps for the price of one "store bought" clamp. They work great. Thanks.
  • @DarrenCharron
    Man am I ever glade I found this video. I am just in the process of building my dream wood shop it only took 50 years 😊 I am going to ad these tools to my collection.
  • @guybowers9094
    Some great inexpensive tools that would help with many different tasks in the shop. I like it
  • That thin rip jig has been missing from my life…. I just picked it up, thank you sir! great video!
  • @jffqnn
    Love the "It's Durable" line. Needed a good laugh and that fit the bill, clean and harmless!! Really appreciate Your Videos and I'm hoping to make use of Your Advice as I progress forward with crafts. Thank You Kindly Friend!!
  • Wow love these new tools under $30. Definitely will be ordering some of these
  • @bobsnow1996
    On your advice bought the Fulton Thin Rip Jig... awesome tool, glad to see you got that Saw Stop God is Good... your videos are very good and informative. I'm a Wood Worker/Fix it when broken kinda guy... I've done a dozen Mission trips in Mexico so I have a fair amount of experience doing a lot of jobs from sheet rock, to plumbing, roofing, framing, siding... so I'm not afraid to tackle most jobs. Keep up the good work I really enjoy the videos!
  • @joeorsini2171
    Appreciate the videos! Just ordered one of each sized 10 packs of clamps and the 4 different sizes of clamping squares. Watched a bunch of your videos over the weekend and will have to check out your plans and plan bundles too.
  • I have had one of those thin strip jigs for a while now: love it. That DFM square is great. Thanks.
  • @leochan7572
    Thanks Matt! I got the DFM Saw Height Gauge. I normally use my square, having this in my toolbox will give me better accuracy for making dado joints.
  • @billcox7120
    Thanks Matt. Just ordered the first two. The thin cut jig will come in handy when adding thin accent pieces to a cabinet I'm building for a neighbor.
  • on the hand router you can flip the DFM set-up block and check the deep of your bit using the tool upside down... ;)
