Hi Matt, thanks for all the great videos. I have learned a lot from you channel. I have a question. The last jig you used for cutting a straight edge. Couldn’t you had just used your fence for that cut?
Huge fan of the channel, but that new subscriber sign is an eyesore and I hate it.
Great tips Mighty Matt! Thank you!
very, very clever
I’m addicted to 731 videos
you could even use on a router tablet if you don’t have bearings on you bitts
Great video, Matt. I do so many projects that require different tapers and have made several dedicated sleds to accomplish the angles needed, so thanks for the virtual slap to the forehead! LOL I can see this becoming my new favorite shop toy.
These are super tips! Thanks!
I like the template jig idea! That’s pretty awesome!
I see the best use of this when cutting bevels that need repeatability.
I really want to change the title of this video to "Using Templates on the Table Saw". I almost didn’t watch it because of the click-bait-y title. I’m glad I did – this is a great method. Thanks for sharing, Matt!
Still not getting what your doing
Great idea 💡👍🤠
I have a major complaint about this video.
Baseball.
😎
Hola! 🖐I hope you and the family are doing well. Really like this video, thanks for the tips. My favorite was the template set up, that looks like it can save a TON of time.👌Take care and have a good one, Adios!👊
"JUST KISS IT" lol. Love videos brother, keep it up.
I’ve watched a ton of YouTube wood working vids and have never seen the magnet/ruler alignment trick. Good stuff.
Blades arent flat, Magnet and ruler trick is cooool
As for the jointer jig, the motor side of the table saw (left side of your saw stop) is always in the same place. Which means you could attach a miter slot runner to the bottom of the jig and not have to worry about setting the fence. If your work piece is wider than the sled, use double stick tape instead. 😉
Finally got around to ordering a new CMT saw blade from TT. Thanks so much for the recommendation. The blade is everything you said and cheaper than getting my old Forrest resharpened.
Those dovetail clamps are a great idea for a straight edge jig. I am going to get some. One way to improve the jig would be to add a bottom runner that slides in the miter slot, takes the setup away and no worries about the jig wandering away from the fence. Keep up the good work.
What’s wrong with using a router table with a guide bearing on the end?

Great tips Matt. Thanks!!
Matt AWESOME video!!! Keep up the good content!!!!
Where are all the actual woodworking videos?
When you were talking about keeping your blade 90° with a square you have to be careful not to throw out a perfectly good blade because you think they’re bent or warped. Blades are supposed to be pulled into flat when they start spinning that’s what all the holes and grooves in the blade are for. So if you see light between a ruler and a blade it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s not flat
Thank you for your continued work to create and share content with us. Your enthusiasm and character draw the viewer to your channel. I pray that you and your work will continue to blessed as you are blessing others through your work.
Could you do a video on jointing longer boards on a bench top jointer? Like 5-6 foot. I’m not getting the best results, thanks
That pattern fence is so cool
Thanks brother. I appreciate you!
I have been a woodworker for over thirty years. I just learned a few things. Thank you.
That’s a sick trick, Mr Matt!
Never seen this before.
Just so it kisses it? You don’t know what kissing means to me!
That’s the first time I have seen that way of setting 90. Good tip!
Awesome tip😮
Bad bad boy. You do not align blade to fence, you align to the miter slots. As the miter slots cannot be adjusted and the blade and fence can be adjusted, you align to the fixed condition. If you align to fence and fence is not aligned to miter slot, your miter gauge, you sled and any jigs based on the the fence, the sled or the miter gauge will not work properly. Now, if you first align your fence to the miter slot then you can align blade to fence. Ultimately everything has to be based on the miter slot.
Howdy Mr. 731…
Another good Tips video. 👍
I made my own straight cut/tapering sled a while back. Not quite like yours but does the same function. I’m actually going to upgrade it cause right now, it’s the type where ya just drill a bunch of random holes and use a screw down clamp. It works great, but it’s cumbersome having to constantly unscrew the clamps completely, remove completely, find another hole that’ll work, reinsert screws and clamps and THEN I have to readjust my fence. Very time consuming process just to make ONE cut.
I’ve got a few tracks just laying around that I’ve been too lazy to mess with…but, your video inspired me to just go ahead and get it done, cause once it’s done, it’s done.
Let’s play a drinking game. Every time Matt says #Tubafour you take a shot lol
Probably your best tips video. Easy I’ve gotta make that jointing jig although I use something similar by screwing down into the board from a raised piece attached to a flat edge along the fence. Very simple but your jig is even faster and no screws.
I like the last jig, But I use “track saw” for any long pieces that need to be cut that straight
And people say you don’t pay attention to your fb group. If this doesn’t make them happy nothing will. Great video!
Great video as always! You mentioned that you can joint much longer boards with that joining jig versus a 4ft level. Are you saying that you can put a straight edge on a board that’s longer than the jig? I see yours is a few feet long so how can you put a straight edge on a board that’s longer than the jig?
….maybe I’m turned around, but at 0:53, shouldn’t you *subtract* a quarter instead of adding? (Someone following along would figure it out anyway.)
Very nice and useful jig…
A lot of good ideas come from your videos…
I still don’t understand why you don’t have a #TUBAFOUR shirt Matt. What the what?!?!?
Tubafours are good, but woodworkers should also consider Fiddlefours or Saxafours.
Best video
Lots of kissing in the video today 🙂
Great vid! Loved the first jig
