Leah, my friend you are worth a ton of gold…. your tips have helped me become a much better worker of wood. Tips that I can and have passed on to my children…. Thank you
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
thank you
Pointing your fingers is biomechanically advantages even in grip. I typically use my middle finger for a drill or impact trigger, as well as finger locks in Hapkido, even holding onto the steering wheel. Your wrist has more degree of freedom for motion. Cuts down on long term fatigue. I’ve even heard of agents using middle finger to shoot (not sure how true) because we are naturally tuned to where we point to with our index finger.
im so glad i found you ,im a single mom of two teens living in an old two bedroom house that is in desperate need of repair.no foundation ,lots of rot,marbles will roll to one corner of the house etc.So ive replaced or sistered a lot of rotting boards,brought the corner of the house up some(marbles dont roll as fast)and have done what i can by myself.,But I was starting to get very frustrated,I dont really know what im doing ,I watched just one of your videos and now I feel like i have the help i need to do this.you seem like such a great lady .THANK YOU
i was thinking about working in carpentry i always been fascinated with learning how stuff is built do i need to go to school for carpentry or is it better to start off as an apprentice?
I did not know about the finger on the saw. Thanks.
Thanks for the forefinger pointing tip. No wonder l have been Offside and veered off course from a straight line no matter however hard l tried my best. May God bless you with health, wealth and many years of your well horn experience shower on to your fans. Amen.
Learn something new every day. Great videos. Thnxs
These videos are very good for beginner for sure.
Just a note that not all hand saws will have a handle that are at 90 and 45 degrees. Looking at them you will easily be able to tell.
What a lovely lady! Tanks for your vids!
WOW!!! the two fers!!!
wow thank you ! Such a pleasant introduction in woodworking and tools.
After 4 years and I only just learnt that the saw handle can be used to strike 90 degree and 45 degree lines!!!
You are just wonderful person I guess,
Thanks! great video(s)…bless you!
Leah, you are my new hero. Keep on doing what you do!
You wanna cut someone just point that finger works every time 🤣🤣
Perfect !!!
Hello Leah
You are a good teacher..I love the close ups as you do demonstrations, also you speak clear and slow that makes it easy to understand…
I’ve been watching several people but I find myself coming back to your videos…
I’m new due to contractors not doing a good job on my moms house so Im tweeking the house myself..Along the way Im earning plenty of good stuff..
Thank you so much..
You are a great teacher with some very useful ideas, tips and suggestions! Thanks for all you do that goes into making and sharing your videos!
when using long screws instead of using soap make them go in easy use canning wax as wax does not contain water so the screw will not rust
The dad I wish I had
THANK YOU!!! I fixed my toilet leak last night in about 1 and 1/2 for less than $18 myself (and it is with buying the most expansive things available with extra stuff, which I did not need and did not use. I could have done it for less than $12) . If it weren’t for your outstanding video, I wouldn’t dare attempt doing such a thing and would have paid at least $200+ to a plumbing home service.
She is just awesome and makes me feel as a finance professional that i can do something other than stupid numbers. Thanks Leah.
Thanks Leah I’ve always see people cutting with saws and never knew why they pointed their fingers. You have helped me tremendously!
Spontaneous combustion is no joke! 😛 Within a few weeks of purchasing a new home a few years ago, I stained and polyurethaned an new unfinished front door then tossed the damp rags in my garbage. While I was in the shower that evening, they spontaneously ignited in the trash can outside against the side of the garage. To make matters worse, the recycle bin was right next to it and was full of cardboard from huge moving boxes that was rolled up and stood on end so it would all fit in the bin.
The fire was enormous, but luckily it was a Spanish style house with stucco and no roof overhang so my house didn’t catch fire. It was so hot it melted the vinyl gutters on my neighbors house 20 feet away.
It was an unpleasant way to meet all my neighbors for the first time, wrapped in a towel dripping wet with the fire department. Haha. 🙂
Great tip on the pointing with the hand saw. I noticed you are a southpaw. Once again great teaching.
Excellent! Never realized the saw tip. Thank you.
If I was loaded the first thing I’d do is pay for her to read me bedtime stories, what a voice
You’re an excellent host! <3
omg she is sooooo good
You"re the best Leah!
Jean, I need to learn how to install a backerboard in a tub and shower.
Chalk line doubles as a plumb bob. Most obvious thing ever.
…had no idea
👍😎🕇
Each of those squares could have its own video-
That one-piece square / speed-square has depths and angles marked on it, and can be used to mark circles like a compass, and with some string can be used as a plumb bob
The square with the moving parts / combination square can mark depth, and save angles in angled spaces
Good
