as a BRAND new woodworker (havent even made anything of note yet, just gathering tools and wood) i really appreciate this kind of stuff. it makes me feel more prepared

[grahs]

I just ordered my first table saw and this is the single best video I have seen on tips and safety. And I've watched a LOT of videos! Thank you for this!!

[yrrek]

I let this video run while I was working today, I may hear Mat's voice in my sleep tonight.

I built some beautiful cedar coffee tables before the wood was acclimated. They lasted about a year before they cracked, and I had to redo them. This is a much bigger deal than people realize, especially with hardwood

If you live in the southeast you'll probably never see humidity lower than 50%. It's nice to try though. 😂

[robertsmith]

If you buy a dehumidifier, I suggest you buy an extension on the warranty . Mine runs 24x7 . They last about 25-27 months before I am hauling it back to the big box store . They have always been great about replacing it . Your looking at 300-400 so 50 for doubling the warranty has been well worth it . Cheers

Very very useful even for an experienced woodworker.
Thanks 👍🙏🏻

For those of us with sub level basements….. especially us with some exposed dirt and major humidity issues, they do make dehumidifiers with a pump! My basement is below my houses sewer line. I have the same dehumidifier as shown and I have to try and remember to empty it several times a day. Which often does not happen. So I’ll be getting a new one with the pump so I can feed it out the window and into the back area or if I can tap into a drain higher up in my house.

I was taught as a kid, erm, over 50 years ago that when ripping a board on a table saw always have the smaller part as an off-cut with the larger piece against the fence. NEVER cut off a strip against the fence. Pretty much common sense IMHO. You can't control a small strip very well (grrripper not withstanding and I love mine) against the fence with the lever of the large piece outboard. I shudder when I see YT videos of peeps cutting strips against the fence for repeated cuts. *sigh* use a stop block on the other side outside the blade as a reference before the blade. Much safer and arguably more accurate. Best table saw safety tip I've ever been given: PAUSE before you cut and THINK TWICE about what's going on and what might happen WITH EVERY cut. Accidents happen mostly when you think "it's just one quick cut...".

[garymiller]

Thank you for the great tips, Matt. 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤

[davudandrews]

I am going have to watch this again for all ofvthe cool advice. It reminds of Norm

[ScottiPewPew]

Thank you for such a great compilation of fantastic content, truly appreciated!

[matthewblumenthal]

Pretty amusing. A LOT of these tools are kind of new for me. I have older versions. This is a great compilation.

[valoanswithed]

What a fun surprise! I know that Colleyville, TX Woodcraft location very well. I’ve also taken classes with Steve Julian.

I meet you at VidSummit in 2023. Took me three days to get through this video, but I’m glad I did.

[scottbyrd]

Matt!! In your video you spoke about table saw safety. On here (approximately 25:30) you did exactly what you’re telling everyone not to do by reaching to grab a thin tip off cut. Easy to do as we don’t even realize we are doing it. I didn’t think anything about it until I thought later and backed it up to see. I totally understand your message as I’ve seen many severe accidents like this over my past career. We all become complacent over time. I think the SAWSTOP is excellent example of a safety equipment. However that technology tends to make us let our guard down when operating on other equipment. I enjoy your videos and watch them as they do provide me with a situation awareness or retrain the mind to correct myself.

Hope you don’t take me wrong by telling you this..

[chrisweigand]

I lost count of how many things you were selling. your posts are like a very long infomercial with a little woodworking advice but alway advice pushing your swag. Kudos to you for figuring out how to seem like your giving g helpful advice only but its all actually part of your unique sales pitch. I love your story man, rags to riches I just you were a little more genuine

[chapbix]

I like the idea of the miter saw sled. Sure would be nice & an asset to the shop.

[vnhibig]

This is a needed very sound video that all can benifit from, Thanks for taking the time to compose and shoot this video. Ray Stormont, PS One suggestion for most shops that I employ is to use over stock on sale mix and not matched (CHEAP) 9" vinyl tiles using epoxy adhesive to cover floors and create a tough water/vapor barrier that easy to clean (sweep) for my floors, Cutback for adhesive will be disolved if certain solvents and petro chemicles are spilled, any damaged spots are easy to remove and replace giving me a dry stable work space that I can place my projects directly on w/o worry even makes scratches a thing of the past.
