I love the story board! Can't believe I never thought of it. I guess that's why you're the master and we're the students. 👍

Thanks for your videos I’m 76 and a new wood worker, about 10 months in, I have improved so much just watching your videos, and yes, I still have all 10finger

Very interesting, even for we who do not have a table saw. For example, the storyboard for setting fence position for cuts. I can use that method when setting up rip cuts on my radial arm saw. The only difference is that the fence is fixed and it is the blade that is moved to position.

As a new woodworker, I have been watching a LOT of videos. While many are helpful, Colin’s quick hacks are quick, to the point, and very helpful. Thanks and keep them coming.

I just have to say, this is my first view of your channel. I am just starting to get interested in home woodworking as I come from a family of pretty impressive carpenters. I love how quickly you get into the "meat" of your videos, and how you don't waste time on needless opinions. It's all very helpful and succinct. Thank you.

I have an ancient, beat down, and broken old job saw that I have been trying to figure out how to do a zero clearance insert on. You nailed it. Thanks!

Here's another idea. Cut your storyboard to such a width that you can make slots that are 1", 2", 3" and so on from one edge. Flip it over, and the SAME slots are 1½", 2½", 3½, and so on from the opposite edge.

FYI, this is not from years of experience.
I replaced all the 40-year-old aluminum windows in my house with modern high-efficiency vinyl windows a while back and needed a table saw to do the trim work. So I bought my first table saw earlier today.

Your tips are GREAT! and will save me a lot of time. Thanks.
