Jigsaw BASICS for Beginners.
The Essential Beginners Guide to Using a Jigsaw! The Jigsaw for a lot of newcomers to DIY and Woodworking is most likely one of the first tools to be purchased. They just appear to be a lot safer than the noisier and more aggressive circular saw which is great for gaining confidence when using power tools.

9:24 Cutting…lemonade? Wow, that’s a new use for the jigsaw I never thought of before haha!
(yeah I know he said laminate)
This is an excellent video – I once tried using my late Dad’s Jigsaw that he have must have bought in the 1970’s. Needless to say I hated it and made a bit of a mess and the saw was a bit noisy and jumpy. Your video has helped me enormously and I am going to buy something more up to date using the pointers you have indicated. Thank you very much!
Thank you sir. Cool accent.
New subscriber here watching from qatar 🇶🇦
Thanks very much indeed. Have a nice coming Christmas 🎄
Very helpful, cheers.
Great vid as always. I tend to get a lot of unwanted and irregular bevelling with my jigsaw, is this from pushing too much or is there something else I should look at?
although pretty handy i don’t like jigsaws, never have, never will. actually i hate them.
Excellent tutorial. Respect from Italy 🇮🇹
Subscribed!
Thank you!!! I would have never found these features!
Thank you so much for this upload! Thumbs up and a sub from me… Stay safe… Rico
Thank you I ‘m trying to figure out a mounting situation so as not to have the wood bouncing plus I don’t want to use my hand to hold it in place. I don’t have a table to cut the wood with the jigsaw
The coping saw was my second thought (after a Screwdriver, lol).
I’ve always found jigsaws puzzling, the pieces are coming together after this though.
Is cut fiber latter’s
Just got this video recommended by YouTube, and I’m so glad I watched it! As a super newbie in woodworking I loved the video, the explanations, the information and the jokes. I actually have an old borrowed jigsaw as my only power tool and Im having trouble making it cut through a 2 inch thick wood, gonna see if there’s something from this video I can apply to get the job finally done! Happily subscribed and looking forward to checking out your other videos :))
Thanks for that but splintering isn’t problem for me just rub it on some sandpaper
at 9:25 I thought he said that its good for cutting LEMONADE
I love this guy as a teacher! Ty for all your guidance.
Can you get longer blades to cut thicker timber.
You’re excellent at explaining things. Good job 💪
Can it cut resin material
I might get a jigsaw for my birthday
Great video. Thank you 🙂
One thing I’ll never touch again is a table saw. Massive kickback right into my gut
Thanks for the video
Makita jigsaws are great to use, especially the barrel bodied ones. Their blower function I couldn’t do without as it lets you see the cut line clearly unlike others. Dust collection is rubbish on most jigsaws though. You have to go to festool for better dust collection if you need it. Good vid, as a pro user even I learned something.
Excellent. Thank you
DIYForKnuckleheadsWhat year did you buy your first jigsaw?
I THINK !! COPING !! SAWS !! ARE !! WHAT !! YOU !! KNACKER !! MAN !! DREAM !! OF !! HAVING !!
I am going to a jigsaw lesson tomorrow with Carlos but the one I used was very different. It has no trigger, it has an on/off button and unlock/lock button.
Stay away if your afraid
Great guide and informative.
Thank you! Never used a jigsaw (or any power tools) before today. I’ve no doubt I’d have made a mess of it without this. Still got all my fingers. 👍
G’ day .We love your show . U & my wife talk the same & same culture 😘❤ly
when I don’t get it she translate it for me .😁😘🌻🌼👌🙏🙌👍👏📡 ✟✟✡✟✟ 📡
Thanks knackers👍😁I hope all is well in OZ
is that dry blood on the casing?
Nice! I just bought my first Jigsaw today a new Makita JV0600 to make cool stuff.
My Dad used jigsaw for everything he never cared about straight cuts she just wanted to get the job done he’s such a practical guy no finesse though lol
I am so grateful because Youtube recommended me this video. I’m about to start a woodworking project & you’re being helpful through all of the information. Thank you sir!
FYI, at least in the USA, probably in the rest of the world too, the Jiggy is the SAFEST of ALL power saws. Ranking below pretty much all tools powered or not in injuries of all types, on the job or at home. Yes… the tool, powered or not, that "causes" the most injuries year in and year out…not the circ saw.. not the chainsaw…its … its….. yes… its the hammer…take it easy there knackers
So informative, great detailed explanation on blades. Just about to purchase JS, YouTube so confusing re choices. Think I’ll opt for Makita. Thank you, stay happy. 💕 UK
The straight line part hit home. The kitchen kick board i cut like a rollercoaster has scarred me for life.
For that matter why not use a osalating tool
Great video .Been using power tools for years , but I’ve never owned , nor intend to own , a grinder . LETHAL . Saws of all types , no problem . I use a Dewalt jigsaw , works great . It has an efficient blower at the front which helps clear away the sawdust . For perfect circles there are attachments to the shoe .
Having my cuppa Typhoo while watching this and finishing up breakfast I found this video easy to cope with.
Good pointers and tips.
Cheers…Freddie
Already shared which tool to use for a traumatic experience.
👍
nice lesson, thank you
I like your dad jokes .. 😀👍
Would you recommend to use a jigsaw in ripping an inch plywood to its entire length? Thank you.
