    What I dont get is the idea first step in milling rough cut wood is plane one side stright line rip one side the rip opposite side the cut a 10 board down to a working size then true up to finninsh size or glue up?
    Why not cross cut leaving stock for finnish cut smoth in planer joint second side and rip other side to match then plane last side or bring down to finnish thicknesses width and length. Then do you journey work. Trying to stright line rip
    A 14′ 5/4 board that has a long bow in it waste materials. If your making short bonds stright your not cutting away as much stock or if your jointing one edge your not dealing with a 14′ chunk of wood to do it. You can mill the shorter parts in a line to keep from. Having snipe.

    Muy buenos consejos, muchas gracias.

    This is the quietest table saw in the planet

    7:42 Funny to see a video about "safety" and encouraging use of push sticks, showing you pushing the stock through the saw with your hand. This guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fifjjacjLBE did the EXACT same thing and nearly cut off 3 fingers.

    Disliked.

    Don’t follow this guy’s example, people. Everything looks safe when the board acts the way you expect it to, but if it kicks you don’t want your hand anywhere near that spinning blade. It WILL pull your hand in a direction you don’t expect, and maybe right through its teeth.

    Seeing Joanne makes me remember how much I miss the original HGTV DIY shows. They showed you how to do things without all the histrionics, hype, running around with knee level cameras, cheering sections and bogus "virtual TV" of today’s totally fake shows. Today we have entertainment, on the level of WWE phoniness, instead of actual content, presenters, instead of craftsmen.



  7. Rick Bergles on September 9, 2022 at 1:26 am

    That push stick puts one’s body directly over the blade doesn’t it?



  8. Виталик Курситов on September 9, 2022 at 1:26 am

    Техника безопастности , прежде всего.



  9. B G on September 9, 2022 at 1:26 am

    That lady is beautiful



  10. Paul Furman on September 9, 2022 at 1:31 am

    That brace in in the series where you did narrow strips solves my problem of cutting 1×2’s off 2x stock. There has been a problem with drifting and the narrow strip comes out too skinny. I was working from the other side of the blade too. Thanks for that lesson.



  11. neppy5 on September 9, 2022 at 1:33 am

    love that music, yee haww!!



  12. bobbg on September 9, 2022 at 1:34 am

    No you find the right feed rate for the blade your using and the wood your cutting. If your using a 40 tooth rip blade on purpelhearr it will feed at a certain rate if your using a 60tooth combo blade it might be slower for the same stock.
    Honestly just joint or plane a saw cut edge. Untill you find the feel for cutting speed rate on that blade and wood.

    who is the woman? she looks sooooo familiar



  14. кака фыывафы on September 9, 2022 at 1:39 am

    *❣Easy to set up **MyBest.Tools** Cuts like a dream😴😴. Love the portability of the saw.💫*



  15. George West on September 9, 2022 at 1:40 am

    So refreshing to see a YouTube video that has in it’s title table saw "safety" and you are NOT looking at some soon to be finger amputee, using a TS without any guard in place, and often not even a push stick. Well done, and Bravo.



  16. Theo F on September 9, 2022 at 1:40 am

    Looked to me like she was standing directly behind the blade. No way safe, because if there is kickback, it would go right into her gut. You want to be safe you do not stand inline with the blade, that way any kickback will go past. Just turned 77, never had kickback, took the blade guard and riving knife off my saw when it was new. Always remain slightly scared of my saw, still.



  17. brian carrel on September 9, 2022 at 1:40 am

    Blade is way to high for wood thickness.



  18. Grab Mint on September 9, 2022 at 1:42 am

    Everyone LOVES Jo Jo !!!!



  19. BossSpringsteen69 on September 9, 2022 at 1:42 am

    Oh, that’s where she’s hiding nowadays.



  20. Hans de Groot on September 9, 2022 at 1:43 am

    Good tips. Thanks for sharing.



  21. Square, Level, & Plumb on September 9, 2022 at 1:45 am

    5.55 He cuts without plugging the saw back in, which took Jo 2 hnds to plug in and only one to unplug. I hate hollywood.



  22. bobbg on September 9, 2022 at 1:45 am

    4" or wider is wrong. Spread your fingers out as wide as you can between a stoped blade and fence thats the narrowest board you should ever cut with you pinky touching the fence always no body part can touch the blade, but you must use a spliter or riving knife.

    I dont care if your a pro with 40 years exp. You cant be too safe but you can take unnecessary risks.



  23. Nic Murray on September 9, 2022 at 1:47 am

    Fantastic, an American using a riving knife and a crown guard



  24. Mark Hazlewood on September 9, 2022 at 1:47 am

    Blade is WAY too high. Only the carbides tips need to clear the wood. Extra height increases danger.



  25. Bill Strader on September 9, 2022 at 1:48 am

    Step 1: Buy a really expensive table saw. I’d like to see this guy do accurate rips on a cheap Ryobi.



  26. Andrew Johnson on September 9, 2022 at 1:52 am

    But didn’t Jo used to be on Hometime with that other guy?  Dean Johnson ?



  27. Bruce Brachman on September 9, 2022 at 1:52 am

    I keep seeing that interesting hearing protection around woodworkers necks. Does anyone know what brand that it is? It seems more sturdy and well made than the cheap 3M orange ear plugs on a string.



  28. bobbg on September 9, 2022 at 1:52 am

    Your blade was too high.



  29. Chris Ostling on September 9, 2022 at 1:53 am

    Jo Jo!



  30. Square, Level, & Plumb on September 9, 2022 at 1:53 am

    Nice to see one of Norm Abrahms old babes still working



  31. Sean C on September 9, 2022 at 1:57 am

    If you don’t have an outfeed table, clamp a board upright to a saw horse. Be sure its not too high. You don’t want to knock it over.



  32. Charles Reicks on September 9, 2022 at 1:59 am

    Very Good tips Thanks.  Good to see JoJo.



  33. jessie lacson on September 9, 2022 at 2:05 am

    Still to high the blade adjustment maybe 1/4 high above the wood



  34. Jacques d'Arc on September 9, 2022 at 2:05 am

    Prodding sticks does not apply downward and side pressure against the blade and fence. Using another stick to remove the thin cut off piece us dangerous and unnecessary. My technique fulfills the safety without fancy jigs, multiple pushsticks and we never, ever use out hand – fingers to extend toward the zero clearance plate or use it to push wood to the side of the sawblade. Wrong pushstock designs.



  35. Maybe Dave on September 9, 2022 at 2:07 am

    2:50 "gullets are juuust above the thickness of the piece." Um… you missed by a mile.



  36. Esteban Esteban Fontanez-Osorio on September 9, 2022 at 2:09 am

    glad to see you, JoJo



  37. Ol James on September 9, 2022 at 2:11 am

    I like to make most of my push stick/handles out of scrap laminate flooring, they hold up well.
    It’s Great to see Rob & JoJo teaming up on these videos !!…



  38. wwasher on September 9, 2022 at 2:12 am

    I remember Joanne Liebeler, and Hometime. I like her so much on that program that I watched it until it went off the air. I thought it was a lose. Anyone know what she is doing now?
