    Use glasses/goggles for safety but as I am doing a demo…. I won’t bother! Other than that contradiction this is a good video!

    Please don’t get me wrong lady, but your sink is full of dishes and you better deal with it instead.

    I picked this video because it was a woman demonstrating. Very nice job, well done! Looking forward to working on projects now.

    You are cute,but please people do not use the machine this way. Never force the drill when you drill a hole,especially on plywood. It will break the layers on the otherside. Always clamp the wood to the table when you cut. Never use your hands to fix them on the table. Wear protective glasses!!!

    thank you for this very informative tutorial… you answered all the questions I had about how to use a jigsaw… I have always been fascinated by the wood crafts that I would see at Bazaars, craft shoes… etc… now, I think I can add a few of my own… again, thank you…

    i only use my jigsaw when i have no choice.



  9. Susan Hunter on February 16, 2022 at 11:01 pm

    I was thinking sewing machine!



  10. Janine Kurzinger on February 16, 2022 at 11:02 pm

    It seems scary to me due to the speed of the blade and the weight of the saw.



  11. B. Africa on February 16, 2022 at 11:05 pm

    This was awesome, thank you!



  12. Roseann Mueller on February 16, 2022 at 11:06 pm

    Thanks for going over this. I just bought a jigsaw and haven’t taken it out of the box yet.



  13. Denise Valencia on February 16, 2022 at 11:09 pm

    OmG, I’m a 41 year old man learning how to use a power tool from a woman



  15. dan micah on February 16, 2022 at 11:13 pm

    Great video! Perfect for crafters branching out into using power tools for enhanced possibilities and creative potential, thanku!



  16. Jonda Young on February 16, 2022 at 11:14 pm

    Appreciate it!!!



  17. Mary Moore on February 16, 2022 at 11:15 pm

    Will this jigsaw cut through 2 inch thick wood? (For making a smowman out of wood)



  18. Marlon Estrella on February 16, 2022 at 11:16 pm

    Make sure to put the wire right in the path of your blade!



  19. Talent on Board 2 on February 16, 2022 at 11:22 pm

    Do you ever clamp the board down? I was trying to cut out a notch in a 3.5 inch bead board plank for an outlet and even clamped everything is shaking so much I can’t cut straight I changed the blade to make sure it wasn’t old and was for wood. Is it the speed or the thickness of the board? Any advice would be great.

    Thank you for a very basic introduction. As a woman, it was nice to have a woman demonstrating. I don’t know why, just is lol. I guess it gives me confidence that I can do it too. 😊



  25. Miranda Martin on February 16, 2022 at 11:35 pm

    Thank you so much 😊 .. just received one for Christmas as I love doing crafts. Now I’m not so scared of it lol

    Thank you so much!

    Thanks for answering my main question, "Which way should the blade go?" I rented one from home Depot. I am as green as you can get. Yes it also reminds me of a sewing machine.
