Brilliant. Just brilliant. At last, someone that talks about spacers. Yes, its a real pain when the saw doesn't go back far enough. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing this. My first impuls was to make multiple passes on the tablesaw, like you did with the mitresaw. But now I see that taking the time to build the jig results in a much cleaner fit that doesn't need the level of post-cut handwork. It's safer than I initially thought.

Excellent ideas, different methods better for different applications. I've also cut half-lap joints with a router table sliding miter jig and bottom cleaning bit. I really like that table saw jig and am going to try that - with a fine smooth cutting blade there would be almost no sanding of the two matching lap surfaces, if any. Thanks for the video.

I made this table saw jig and was cutting very tidy half laps in no time. Great video, thanks!

The method using a router was easiest and quickest for me. I particularly like the idea of drawing diagonals to find the center on such a narrow space.. At my age, using the fractional measurements on a square are an up hill climb. Thank you.

I am going to test with an electric hand planer with scrap. Just glad someone did this with tooks I have and took the time to say how to do it with the circular saw. Router was going to be my first choice. I had not thought of using my miter.

Great video. Super helpful that you used all 3 tools. I'm a beginner with a circular saw deciding if I want a table saw or a router next and this helped make my decision.

Great video, well presented, no irritating loud music, good methods. I have just used the sliding mitre saw method, before watching this video, but the results ain’t that good. Will now try the other two that you presented. Cheers from 🇬🇧
