    I liked when you chisled the leftover wood on the bottom satisfying

    Leah, question; what do you think about the new battery operated saws, specifically the Dewalt 60V 7 1/4" framing saw, compared to the old reliable corded Skillsaw? I’m shopping around and was wondering which one you would choose? Use would be for a mixture of home owner and part time odd jobs. Thanks in advance!

    I love the bandage and the smashed finger! She’s legit



  4. Andrew Simmons on January 16, 2019 at 8:30 pm

    Centering jig blew my mind. Every time I think I’m getting past "total noob" stage I find something else really basic I’ve never heard of before!



  5. omar omar on January 16, 2019 at 8:32 pm

    I like you ans like jour vidéos…bravo

    hey jane, maybe you can make a series of dvds of all the segments you’ve made about the tools you talked about. it be great for students who have never picked up a tool in his/her life but just doesnt know where to start. or like me who likes to learn more about the tool im using and use it better. tape measure was one, carpenter pencil, and the framing or combo square. great vids. put all segments into a dvd or two, i just may purchase one set.



  7. Pat R on January 16, 2019 at 8:33 pm

  8. Dave Wilson on January 16, 2019 at 8:36 pm

  9. Blakstar on January 16, 2019 at 8:36 pm

    Thanks, Leah! Learning things I should have learned over 40 years ago.



  10. TheZibbor on January 16, 2019 at 8:37 pm

    I really enjoy your videos, so educational!



  11. Borys Fomichev on January 16, 2019 at 8:38 pm

    Just look and learn much more about it from woodprix.



  12. wordreet on January 16, 2019 at 8:39 pm

    Everyone, when you make those cutouts, don’t forget to check the size you’re making with the piece of wood that you plan to put in there. :¬)



  13. Sam Puzey on January 16, 2019 at 8:40 pm

    Please follow my insta: SJP_woodandmetal for wood working posts. I just made the account and am going to do my first post tomorrow. I currently have no followers and would like a few likes. Cheers you tube.



  14. Ron Miller on January 16, 2019 at 8:40 pm

    Is that a band-aid on your hand? Run outta duct tape?



  15. sparsh khare on January 16, 2019 at 8:44 pm

    *This is a tremendous help to me. I have been struggling for long to build a perfect outdoor shed, it was this plan [ **_Check Details In My Channel_** ] that has really helped me correct the mistakes during the process. I love the projects and I’m grateful to the creator of this collection of plans.*



  16. MrSeby on January 16, 2019 at 8:44 pm

    Could u use a router instead of a chisel to clean up the joints?



  17. Brenda Garner on January 16, 2019 at 8:45 pm

    Leah I just discovered your channel and I just love your videos. I am learning so much from your videos. You are an awesome teacher. Keep the videos coming.

  21. Linda Chandler on January 16, 2019 at 8:50 pm

    Half lap reminds me of the old fashioned Christmas tree stand we had when I was a child.



  22. Norm Landes on January 16, 2019 at 8:51 pm

    Leah, once again you make me smile watching you work. Great Job! BTW, how about showing us how you flatten the chisels and sharpen them? Thanks!

    In Denmark, the "biscuits" are called "fish". 😛



  34. Laura Wilson on January 16, 2019 at 9:03 pm

    Ms Drill
    You are a gifted teacher. It’s such a pleasure to learn from you .
    I’m building a drafting cart for my huge dog. He’s in need of real exercise. That’s when I found you and you are invaluable for advice .

    You have admirer
    Thanks



  35. Pando on January 16, 2019 at 9:03 pm

    New subscriber and new woodworker here. As I’ve been going through your old videos I can’t tell you how helpful they are and how many things I pick up. I’m blown away by the center jig. Never even occurred to me.



  36. MeTaz on January 16, 2019 at 9:07 pm

    Huh, Never thought to use a Speed square like this. Thanks ya, Leah!



  37. Ryan Timbal on January 16, 2019 at 9:08 pm

    shes like a dentist…..



  38. SwankeyMonkey on January 16, 2019 at 9:08 pm

    It boggles the mind how anyone could Thumbs Down your insightful, informative, and well made videos that help so many.
    Even though there are a lot of things that I know in the trade already, I know how these help so many others and I make sure to Thumbs Up the video before I move on, to counter these goblins.



  39. Bill Feeler on January 16, 2019 at 9:09 pm

    A ‘rock’ solid joint… made of wood. Lol. Cool video though.



  40. lampshadev2 on January 16, 2019 at 9:10 pm

    Thank you Leah!



  41. Timothy Fulbright on January 16, 2019 at 9:10 pm

    Never mind. I found it! "You can do this", only with information that you so humbly provide! Thank you so much!



  42. Ace Storman on January 16, 2019 at 9:10 pm

    this is why the carpenter god invented a dado blade….



  43. Ronnie Honey on January 16, 2019 at 9:11 pm

    I wish I had you as a teacher back when I was a young man, your good at what you do. thank you



  44. Download Here Over 10,000 Woodworking Plans on January 16, 2019 at 9:11 pm

    Here’s a way to joint or shape work pieces that are too small to hold in a vise. Flip a hand plane upside down and clamp it in your bench vise. Now you can pass the wood over the plane to joint the edge.



  45. Green Power Farm on January 16, 2019 at 9:11 pm

    I like you…with your brain & my back we could get all kinds of work done!



  46. The Home Plate Special on January 16, 2019 at 9:12 pm

    great!



  47. Bennett Bennett on January 16, 2019 at 9:14 pm

    Woah a centering jig! Tell me you’ve done a video explaining how to make one of those?



  48. iceman22st on January 16, 2019 at 9:14 pm

    Love your channel and teaching style. Although I know how to do most of what you do, I look at it as a refresher. I’ve also shared your channel with my sons.



  49. Claire Wheeler on January 16, 2019 at 9:14 pm

    Thank you, great tips. I’m off to watch more. This is just what I need.



  50. Jim Evans on January 16, 2019 at 9:15 pm

    Honestly you center jig was an eye opener. Where had that been my whole life. Thanks
