    Thank you so much for this and all of your videos. My dad died last year. He was a construction worker and I have all of his tools. I got into woodworking a few years before he died and wanted to learn everything from him but he got sick and we just didn’t get that time. I am his daughter and I think I would make him proud. Thank you for helping me.

    This is the real use of YouTube!

    Thank you! Finally someone who knows the advantages of YouTube makes woodworking-specific knowledge videos. I see so many videos from woodworkers who treat their video like a PBS special. They’ll introduce themselves, talk about what they’re GOING to talk about, talk about themselves and why they’re qualified to talk about what they’re about to talk about, cut to a cute little animation and a jingle, then repeat what they are GOING to talk about. It gets exhausting. Don’t me started on repetition. They cover the same info over and over and over. But you! Oh, you. You actually understand that there’s a ten second back- and forward button, or maybe you just don’t care if we get it on the first go round. Doesn’t matter. The point is you aren’t treating this like a television show on public television. You play to the strengths of your medium. You present the information in an organized and thoughtful way, without the ego. I hope all your videos are like this because I’m a convert. There’s so much about woodworking or construction that I learned by doing simply because I don’t have time to watch a 30-minute video by someone trying to recreate This Old House - just to realize they didn’t cover the information I actually needed. This was a fantastic video and I learned more from you in ten minutes than I have from hours of random other videos. So, thank you. Good stuff!

    I don’t know why I’m watching. My life has nothing to do with building stuff. But I can tell the professionalism behind this video.
  • @Shackman66
    Clear, concise and enjoyable to watch. I don't think it could be better unless you were here to give me feedback while I try it at home.
  • @Thesaurcery4U2C
    I was most impressed that he took a few seconds to show people how to square you decks up on their saws. That is some information that everyone can use.
  • I watched this with the intention to learn some new stuff about the square but turns out I knew everything you mentioned but I was so impressed with the quality and detail you put in this video I’m gonna definitely be buying one of those shirts. Keep up the good work
  • @markdavich5829
    It's videos like this that make my friends/family think I'm smart when I build something because more often then not, I have almost no idea what I'm doing. 🤣😂

    Best instructional video on how to use a speed square! Congratulations on the editing, clear audio, use of classical paintings, no annoying music or long digression on "our week sponsor". Keep up the good work.

    I don't even do that much construction around my house and still feel I need one of these in my toolbox. What a wonderfully versatile tool.
  • @peterthill
    WOW! Using an Speed Square for long time and can still learn new things about it. THX for sharing 👍
  • @tieguy
    This is one of the best edited videos I've seen for a topic like this. You pack a ton of useful information into 10 minutes. I will be more effective with a speed square, and the video was a joy to watch.

    I have one and use it for 90 degeree cuts, Not a roofer but now I can see how I can apply the speedsquare to so many different applications Thank you. Saved to my playlist as I will need to watch a few times and refer back when required. Excellent video.

  • @jenniepost7837
    Oh my gosh, this is so helpful. Learned some of this in a woodworking class but you added so much more in a no nonsense way. Will save video for future reference. Thank you!
  • @sharonheald7864
