Watching John screw around with a pair of calipers when he could have just traced the arbor hole off the blade sitting on the bench next to him. 🤣😂🤣1:51

When I worked in printing, I would cut a thick bleached cardstock on a bevel in the exact shape of a utility knife blade. The stock was just about the same thickness as the real blade. Being a sturdy coated stock, it held an angle/edge well. Next was the silver ink. a full dip for overall color and then you could run your finger along the beveled edge cut to deviate the silver finish.

A quick dry, and toss it in the handle of your nearest coworker. It was always a good time watching the reactions. Sometimes the "blade" worked for a minute before it failed miserably.

Watching American’s work out spacing with their weird measurements is really impressive, i have no idea how you’d figure that stuff out like that.

Random person: "What do you do for a living?"
John: "I make $10, 000 tables and trying tiktok viral videos."

Imagine the paper cut that thing would give you.

For the first one, it reminds me of a parlour trick I'd do to entertain kids when I worked at a grocery store. I'd take a box I just stocked, tell the kid "Do you want to see a magic trick?" then draw a hand saw on the box, slice it out with my cutter, & use it to saw another box in half

I love how sharp bladed steel spinning at thousands of RPM is apparently okay, but when it's paper John gets nervous haha. This is a great series!

I can't lie... I laughed SO hard. That circular saw blade from paper is ABSOLUTELY something I would have tried in Junior High School, called it a science experiment, and got my a** beat by my dad. I loved it!

[oxylepy]

Honestly the paper blade seems awesome. Almost no kerf? Finishes ends for you? With a good printer, some decent cardstock, and a 0 clearance insert, this might be an option for small projects

I've actually used cardboard cut into discs for my angle grinder- and used a glue stick to attach sandpaper. Actually works pretty good. Really isn't dangerous if you aren't being incredibly stupid with it. Cheap hacks work sometimes! I think the fact that the paper you used was so "glossy" that it seared as it cut through. I'd be interested in seeing a fine sandpaper attached to both sides of that- you'd probably get a more normal looking cut. No reason to waste materials though.. I've actually seen someone glue fine sandpaper to their REAL circular saw blade on a table saw, cuts came out REALLY nice and the sandpaper stayed attached!

John Heisz did the paper blade on YT. I think over 12M views

4:21 This is a classic example of paper saw kickback. You were super lucky sir. Watch those feed rates. I find laminating 3 sheets of construction paper together (yellow-black-yellow gives best performance) is the best trade off between kerf, wear, and reasonable feed rates. Reinforcing the center with 2" fiber washers contact cemented to either side also increases rigidity and allows for even faster feed rates. Laser cut micro-perforations (width of laser, 0.25mm in length) every 2.87 degrees on the outer edge of a 10 inch blade has yielded great long term performance and allows the blade to wear to a predictable depth before "re-sharpening." Laser perforation cut interval should be adjusted during "re-sharpening" due to loss of blade diameter accordingly. Although you can get by with 3 degrees anywhere from 10" down to about 9.25" I usually just throw my blades away at that point and make a new one.

Working with imperial measurements sounds like a nightmare

Watching the puzzle joinery (second project) makes me think, have you looked at wooden puzzles generally, and considered how you could put them into epic joinery projects?

[The_Ol_Bizzaroo]

Serious question here...I'm relatively new to router tables. Shouldn't the dovetail cut have been run left to right going behind the bit? Or preferably right to left using the front side of the bit? Why did he choose to go behind the bit?

[TheRealAnarchrox]

For the first thing you're attempting, a compass is what you're after for drawing circles at a particular diameter. A protractor is for measuring angles.

[SakuraShirakawa]

To be fair, MOST videos I have seen treat the paper sawblade as what it is, a neat little science thing. Anyone who promotes it as an actual woodworking tool is nuts.

[Erik_The_Viking]

That 3-piece joint reminds me of some puzzles I've played with. Those would be cool for a small table with some work though. Great job!

[joeblow]

lol--buys a super expensive router table set up and cuts on the wrong side of the dovetail bit. Genius. How many times did those boards go shooting across the room?
