Your tips and tricks are the best. I’m so glad I found your channel

Finally someone addressing the problem that I am having. Don't know way every other woodworker just skips over this part.

I can't believe I never thought of that simple trick. Great idea, thanks

Nice jig, I still have all custom frames lol

Definitely use stop blocks on all cuts as the lines are not accurate. Great video.

When cutting picture frames you will need to add about an1/8 inch to your size so that whatever you are framing will fit without binding.

I always thought the "standard rabbet" is 1/4 inch - not 1/2 inch.

Can you make this for a sliding chop saw? If so, would there be any modifications needed? I don't have a table saw yet.

Maybe I'm just stupid...but I thought 45+45=90...why can't I just set the blade @ 45 degrees? Why do I need a jig? Explain please...the woodworkers I was learning from ate dead so I can't ask.

What if you don't have a tablesaw???

Not accurate enough without stop blocks.
