I wasn’t thinking earlier today and was cutting a small block of wood on my miter saw. Well now I have a nice cut on one finger and the other two are bruised. I didn’t think about a temporary fence backing. My end goal was to make a knob with a pattern for my router table cabinet.
I nailed 2 of my fingers together with a nail gun, hit the joint in my 3rd finger or it would have nailed all three. Now I am the slowest nailer you will ever see
just learned the OBIVOUS on my nail gun…..
Hey Matt,
I love the channel. another way to handle those sheet goods is to do what Lincoln St Woodworks (I think that’s where i picked that tid bit up from) does and is cut the sheet goods on a block of pink foam.
number 4- ive never done it myself, but ive seen people use a 1 to 2 inch sheet of rigid foam insulation board as a sacrificial surface to cut plywood on.
personally, and im not saying that this is the safest method, but ill make half the cut, then move the sheet on the sawhorses so the cut end is supported under the back horse and continue the cut.
Great Great video! I picked up some valuable tips so I won’t LOSE any tips haha! I’ve also had some bright decals made for my large machines (table saw, router table, jointer, compound miter) that say "RESPECT THE MACHINE" because I forget sometimes and get going too fast. Respect the machines and save your digits. Thanks!
#5! Thank you. Had issues in the past with those coming through various material.
Your explanation was great.
I cut small pieces on my 10” mitre. I love scary
Excellent! I’m very worried about work safely! I always use the table saw with the blade guard and I’m glade to see you demonstrating that it’s important. I don’t understand why people are normally so reckless. It’s common to see professionals acting as if safety were for dummies what for me is the opposite!
Thanks Matt for the video.
Thanks for the info
Good video, Matt. I confess, I don’t use a blade guard on my table saw. Before EVERY cut, however, I pause (with the motor off) and review what cut I’m making and where my hands/fingers are going to be throughout the cut. If I start binding the cut or things just don’t seem right, I’ll stop cutting and turn it off. Figure out why things aren’t going right, reposition my hands, etc., review the cut again, and proceed.
Router safety. consider, before making a router cut, the direction the bit rotates and plan your cut so you’re not moving your wood in the same direction as the bit rotates.
You want a Dangerous tool? I inherited from my Dad, his Delta Shaper. That motor spins the shaper bit at several thousand rpm, and it’s got some SERIOUS torque! Feather boards are an absolute MUST HAVE with this tool.
I had a kick out on my compound miter saw a few weeks ago cutting small glued pieces. I will definitely be adding a back to mine later! Also, your mention of blade depth is awesome. Its so easy to overlook when bouncing around variable thicknesses. Great tips!
Love the channel!!!
#5 — Great nail-gun tip. Thanks!
I solved that problem by purchasing a mini 2” chop saw. Cha-ching
Thanks Matt, good information.
all five points were super useful . thank you

Wow! Great tips! Another nice thing for cutting long cuts in plywood is to use a sacrificial piece of foam on a table. Great support. Thank you🇺🇸
