Hi, I am new to "routering" and have one question I am hoping you can help me with please. I want to add a rounded edge to thin pieces of wood to make a cantilever stand for my iPad. I have cut all my wood pieces and am ready to put everything together but would like rounded edges to the squared edges of my wood before putting everything together. I have bought a small router and have the bits needed. I tried to trim a spare piece of wood to start and had it clamped in a vice (not anything like you have demonstrated in this video) but it just vibrated violently and worked itself loose. The pieces of wood I have are not big sturdy pieces of wood, but rather approx 2" x 3" at lengths varying from 5" to 20". Just wondering what the best way to make a start on this to secure the pieces while I am rounding the edges. Hope you can help😀
Finally! I knew a video of this caliber was out there, I just had to find it. Well done, great explanations, no superfluous tangents.
You are good maistro
why did you decide 10" as a run?
It's the minimum for codes in most places
Great video. Thank you!
You are welcome!
Dude,............HELP lol
Excellent video - very well done! Great info regarding proper feed direction that is almost always left out of the conversation. Also, knowing the difference between grooves and dados tells me you really know what you're talking about! 😄
You are so welcome. If you like my style of teaching you might also really like my beginner online router course. Check it out here if you want. bit.ly/3DcIeE3
Our basement stairs are old and I don't trust them anymore, but my husband has been dragging his feet about replacing them. Looks like it's up to me. Thank you for making this so easy to understand! Now I'm a lot more confident that I'll be able to manage it! 👍
Let me know how it goes and if you need help.
Calls it "Beginner" and uses terms a beginner will never understand. Kinda funny. Great video though.
Question, do you have a preference on face shields with filters? And also consider those of us on limited budgets.
Are you talking about a full face mask?
yes
@@sandiekelley8513 I have never used a full face mask so I can't really speak into that.
You are amazing! First time using a circular saw and I managed to do a perfect straight line thanks to your video tutorial, I had to cut a drawer for an elder lady so she could fit it into her room and it worked perfectly, she was really happy! Thank you very much and I hope this video gets to whoever needs it
That's great to hear! Thank you for the comment. God blessing you and those you continue to help.
Why the arm under the saw?
?
Really excellent tutorial for a beginner and I appreciate the lack of the typical instrusive music you often hear on these kinds of videos.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for vocabulary 🎉❤
I'm glad you found this helpful.
way too much measuring, use the wall whenever possible. Don't use the t bevel, scribe to the wall. Don't measure to the heel of the next miter, cut one end, hold in place and mark on the reveal line. Honestly, for miters on interior trim if you're going to measure, just pre-assemble the trim and put up as a unit.
How long have you been a finished carpenter?
this is informational knowledge gold. I appreciate you so much man, It is so obvious those people that truly know the material vs people who watched a couple youtube videos and decided they were now expert enough to teach other people but the ease and way you put together a demo of a skill is very apparent when its just something you deeply know. It is hard to find quality people like you who will take the time to teach numbers and number skills as it is difficult (again, unless you really know the material) so anyways, long story long, just want to offer a truly genuine appreciation of your efforts it came up at just the right time when I had this task at hand and man, there is a lot of people on youtube over complicating things, giving weird unrealistic info that no one would actually do in real life if they had any idea why they were doing what they were doing. Posted this two years ago but its still very valuable thank you a million.
Thank you for the comment my friend. :)
Yes me too trying to learn to use my saw for small task. Thanks for being very clear.
You are welcome
Brilliant

Does a shed roof require a joist in order to give it full strength? If framed with just rafters and angle braces down to the posts for sheer value, will the shed roof be in danger of pulling away from the ledger? Thanks
Yes, not all shed roofs need "joist" to stop the spreading... it just depends on how it's built. You will need to talk to an engineer if you need more help. Sorry, wish I could help more.
Thank you! I appreciate your clear, concise explanations and demonstrations. Now I feel more comfortable with the project at hand. 🙂
Glad it was helpful!
such great tips.. thank you!
You're so welcome!
I'm not dummy, I subscribed. Thank you
Wonderful! Thank you for no BS or music, just an educating video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Painter's tape. Never be without it!
I just found your videos and they're awesome! One question on this video, though. When you laid out the hip rafter you changed the guide on the square from 12 inches to 17 inches. How did you know to move it those 5 inches? Where did the 5 inch change come from?
Hi, please watch part 2. :)
I do have a question. When you marked the 7/12 on the edge of the Rafter board, you've marked the 7 right up on the edge but when you've marked the 12 it wasn't right up to the top edge of the rafter board.........why you didn't put the 12 on your framing square to the top edge?......I'm a bit confused.
I can watch this video twice a week and I won’t get tired.
Ha!
Oh dear... Use periodical tables.
So what do you estimate your cost for the door was?
$50 in 2024
How do you fix the blade tightly please
With the supplied wrench.
Thank you, sir, for sharing your knowledge!
Thank you for the comment.
Thanks B
What bit for my router to cut biscuit cuts to join to pieces of wood?
Biscuit Joint Slot Cutter
I was overwhelmed until you got me with those eyes.😊
needed this
Love the video -- trying to understand starting around 3:41 a bit better on how to get that measurement.
I would recommend checking out some of my other rafter videos... like this one for example ua-cam.com/video/QV7hfQJ15o0/v-deo.html it might be easier to understand and give you more insight into this video. Reach out if you still have questions.
@@TrainingHandsAcademy I'll take a look, thanks!
I've always chickened out of building stairs. Just made ramps.😂
Damn… while watching this. I want to start cutting some boards.
Some people are just really good at explaining things for “dummies”. You are one of those people. Thank you!!
Very informative!
Glad to hear it.
But what is the origin of the gauge number?
is 2-filter half face mask enough for spraying 2K paint?
How much pressure do you need to push down the blade?
You mean on the base of the saw? Just enough to hold it firm to your cutting path.
Thanks . Just starting... now I know what to buy next... what about just getting those sets with like over 10 bits in a box...
You could but you most likely will not use them all. Buy as you go.
When I was starting with routers, I bought straight cutter bits. I wish someone then had said "DO NOT BUY STRAIGHT CUTTER BITS", so I didn't find myself duplicating those costs with decent spiral bits. As near as I can tell, straight bits have NO place in a woodworking shop.
This was so helpful and informative! What do you recommend for second hand cigarette smoke? My roommate smokes a lot, and I'd rather not breathe that in.
Is that 3/4 inch material?
yes
This a great explanation on hip rafters also, you can check out the Legendary California framer Larry Haun. He wrote an article on finehombuilding on how to expertly install hip rafters and he has is own book as well
