Hi and welcome! This is where I make woodworking videos and bad jokes! I hope to teach you how to build better projects and be more efficient in your shop while keeping you entertained along the way!
The Most Overrated Tool in Woodworking!
Miter saws could be the most overrated tools in the woodshop! It seems everyone has a miter saw and builds a huge miter saw station, but almost everything a miter saw can do can be done on other, less expensive and smaller tools.

GREAT INFOR....question, how do you handle where a horizontal surface is against a vertical side (i.e. bookcase, inner cabinets). Thanks.
❤
👍😁
Thank you so very much for this excellent video. All the info I need including the reasons why, in visual format. It doesn't get better than this! Thank you!
Thanks! I’m glad it was helpful!
Great video, very informative. Thank you so much for the effort
Glad it was helpful!
You gotta love a man who is handy around the house! ❤️
I try!
I looks amazing you should have put a mirror insert on the top when you open it she could look into the mirror but it's amazing anyway
I thought about it, but the wife said she didn’t want the mirror on the lid since the jewelry box is sitting next to a mirror.
Of course if you have ALL that equipment. Come on who is this video for? Not the average DIY guy!
Actually you can make this sled with just the table saw and a drill. The fences can be cleaned up at the table saw, the groove for the t-track can be done at the table saw or with a hand router, the smoothing and sanding can be done by hand, etc. Don’t let my specific tools stop you from building a great jig! Put a little thought into how you can accomplish each task with the tools you do have! And if you have questions I’m happy to help!
I'm sold on the circular saw.
It worked for me for a long time!
What kind of wood was used?
Just regular pine.
Thanks after watching like 6 videos this is just the one I needed ..thanks alot
Glad it helped!
Just stumbled across your video and have to say thank you. Very informative and strait to the point without annoying music blaring. All the best to you!
Awesome, thank you!
Biscuits!
👍😁
Fantastic, helpful video! Showing the comparisons between products and techniques was excellent. Thanks so much. My kitchen table will be looking great in a few days....
Glad it was helpful!
i had no idea the rag could start a fire
Yes! Most oil stains and finishes can self combust as the rags dry out because the curing process is a chemical reaction with the air called oxidation which produces heat.
Thank you for sharing the video
You’re welcome!
That's the most useful tips in a under 10 min video ever 💯💯
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
I call it "Tool Acquisition Syndrome." I have it. We all have it. I repair furniture and restore antiques. My miter saw is my go to powered saw, but I use my little 6" flexible pull saw most. Great video as usual, thanks!
Thanks!
Nothing you said here was wrong, it’s just nothing new. Everyone who is an absolute beginner already knows all of this.
Wow....I would have never thought of some of those tools/points! Thanks for video!
Thanks!
I love biscuits
Me too!
Thanks for the great tips. I learned a ton of that video.
That’s awesome! Thanks for watching!
I love your teaching style. I am a new woodworker and I plan on watching more videos. I am a little scared but hopefully watching you will help me out.
Thanks! If you have questions please just reach out to me and ask! I’m happy to help!
My desk came brown and I want it black. What’s the fastest way to complete this?
Fastest way to make it black? Paint it! Otherwise sand it and apply either an ebony stain or use India Ink.
Thank you for this video it was very informative! I have been working with wood for years & really taught myself along with gaining knowledge from my dad. I'm curious the grit of the sandpaper you used in between each top coat, I use 400 grit is that to fine? Also I have heard that Oil based top coats can yellow over years..is that true?
Yes, 400 is fine for removing dust nibs and smoothing the finish between coats. And yes, oil based finishes will give the wood a slightly yellow or amber color.
I do believe you missed a way you can make repeatable length cuts on the table saw using a miter sled and a small block clamped to the fence. This will allow you to make larger cuts depending on the size of your wing (hope this makes sense )
You mean in a way other than how the stop block works on the sled? I’ve seen people attach a long arm to the sled with a block on the end to act like an extension wing for longer boards. Is that what you’re referring to?
@biscuittreewoodworks it's hard for me to explain through writing but I found this video that explains what I was referring to! Thanks for all the wonderful content! ua-cam.com/video/rpfZoSQsb7w/v-deo.htmlsi=6HZcYOvjZv1IIqVt
Oh, I see! Yes, that is a great option for repeatable cuts. I didn’t think about it while making this video but I do mention it in a couple others I’ve done. Thanks for pointing that out!
Awesome video! I think the arguments about the miter saw come from how encompassing the word "woodworker" is covering both carpentry and fine furniture crafts and everything in between. All of them use wood but not all of them buy it at the big blue or orange store. 😂
True, woodworking is a very broad term! My goal here was to get people thinking and spark a bit of healthy debate, and I feel I have accomplished that! Hopefully I will even save a few beginners a bit of money they didn’t need to spend!
Absolutely 💯👍
👍😀
Awesome content. Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Absolutely amazing content. I cannot thank you enough. Huge fan, thank you sir.
Much appreciated!
This was such a great video, even for me as a total beginner. So many tips! Keep it up :-)
Thank you! Will do!
This box is so good that, failing it being accidentally destroyed, it is sure to be cherished for hundreds of years to come - building something like that has to be incredibly worthwhile. I take my hat off to you!!
Thank you! My wife really loves it!
The quality of the miter saw and blade definitely affects accuracy. I’m accurate and happy with my xgt makita
Absolutely!
I think your Rigid Sander is the most useless tool in your shop.
Do tell. I have one, i’ve used a few times. Seemed to work. Why didn’t you like it?
It’s not the greatest, but is fine for rough work. I’ll get something close then finish it up with hand sanding.
Thanks, I may pick one up, my opinion is coming from UA-cam reviews
The issue most woodworkers have with it is the table is usually not perfectly square to the sanding belt. That makes it useless for anything that needs precision. But for rough work it’s a quick and easy option. Just understand its limitations and use it with that in mind.
We call a track saw "experience" because only garage carpenters use them.
Not sure what you mean by track saw experience? I just recently got my track saw. Also, I’ve never claimed to be a carpenter. That is a totally different skill set and work flow from furniture building.
@@biscuittreewoodworksMy best guess. Track saws are like bowling with bumpers. He can freehand the cut. 🤷♂️😓
Social media has made these garage warriors think they are carpenters. "In all my years of woodworking I've never needed a compound mitre" these guys are delusional thinking they are carpenters.
One thing I am certainly NOT is a carpenter! I build furniture, I don’t do carpentry. I stated in the video actual carpenters do need a miter saw!
I'm amateur carpenter/DIY. You're right at the end. It's my most used and versatile saw. And if I didn't "need" anything it was any of the services you advertised. Nice short video.
Thanks! Carpenters definitely need a miter saw, but most furniture builders and other woodworkers can certainly do without.
Im going to share this link on my tik tok im working on a wooden table and i love the info! For the rags can u put them in the garage if its really hot or should you leave them inside to dry in the AC? I never knew about this !
Yes, you can leave them in the garage. Just ensure they are laying out flat and not near anything that can burn. Once they are dry it’s safe to throw them away in the trash.
Well unlike most other commenter's, I 100% agree. I have built all types of furniture; chairs, tables, humidors, etc, and I don't have a miter saw setup in my shop. The tablesaw sled is my go to for all cuts because of accuracy and repeatability.
Yes, that has been my experience and what I’ve heard from other furniture makers. I believe a lot of the people disagreeing are carpenters which I acknowledged in the video they definitely would benefit from having a miter saw.
@@biscuittreewoodworks yeah, don't get me wrong, a miter saw is extremely useful in carpentry, but less so in fine woodworking. I will eventually buy a Festool miter saw for my next shop, but I can still do all the cuts I require with my Incra miter sled right now
@@AggieTreedthe Festool Kapex is really nice! I know a couple guys who have it and say it’s great for them. I just can’t justify it right now for as little as I use the miter saw I have.
@@biscuittreewoodworks oh me too. Just future plans. Haha
If the problem is space. Miter saw on a portable stand eliminates the problem. Im a commercial carpenter and when in the shop making whatever the miter saw follows me in the set up. Only one step away. If working in a garage put it in the driveway. I wouldnt build a permanent place for it, make it portable
Portable stands work great for some people. I use larger, heavier machines that aren’t easily portable and are connected to my dust collection system. My shop has AC so I avoid opening the garage doors, not to mention my driveway is fairly steep.
@biscuittreewoodworks fair point,
Couldn't disagree more. A quality sliding compound miter saw (as apposed to a limited "miter saw") is one of the most valuable tools in any quality shop. And as a side note, you need to learn how to properly use the Japanese saw. Its a pull saw, not push/pull saw.
You are talking about your shop and your workflow. As for me and a lot of woodworkers I know, a miter saw is a redundant tool that takes up a lot of valuable space. Depending on the type of work you do, the miter saw may be a valuable tool or completely unnecessary. As for my hand saw technique, there is definitely room for improvement! Any suggestions?
Mitre saws are a recent development for construction, both faster and safer for framing and finish carpentry than anything available in the past. They are not really intended for furniture making or joinery. Here in NZ they are on every job site but I've never seen one in a joinery workshop. Just a matter of horses for courses.
Yes, exactly! I’m speaking mostly to aspiring furniture makers. Carpenters definitely benefit from a miter saw, furniture makers not so much.
You dont meed a mitre saw if youve got table saw that cost loads more money 😆 what ! .... if you dont have table saw then id say a mitre saw is essential.
Not necessarily, a table saw can accomplish most tasks that a miter saw can, but not the other way around. There are a lot of woodworking tasks that cannot be done with a miter saw and must be done with a table saw. So look at what kind of woodworking projects and tasks you will be doing and make an informed decision on what tools you should have in your shop.
I hate to admit it but for the small shop the miter saw might be a space hog. The thought has occured to me at different times.
I kept thinking the same thing and that led me to making this video! I knew a lot of people would disagree but also believed a lot would agree with me on this!
Throwing sweet brown in this video was perfecr
It just felt wrong without her!
I went a long time w/o a miter saw, but I've had one for about 6 months now. No, it's not necessary, but it sure is handy to have it always set up and ready to use. I agree, though, that the space is a challenge.
They can be nice to have if you have the room to spare or you do the type of woodworking that uses it all the time!
Unless you're a trim carpenter doing molding it's just a waste of space
👍
Great insightful video. I would love to see a video about the tapering jig.
Noted! Thanks!
Great video, informative without excess. Thank you!!
No problem! Thanks for watching!
Yes you can cut wood with any number of saws! Sigh. For my workworking a miter saw is essential. And my miter say is accurate. If I had to say which is the most overhyped tool in the typical non professional workshop it would be the ginormous table saw with its also huge out feed table. What are you cutting that needs such a monster? With a track saw sheet goods are a snap to size and take up next to no room. Since you have the monster saw, you have to use it for everything to justify the expense it to your partner. And then you need to build sleds. Its like using an F150 to buy groceries. Good click bait. Name the tool or brand, call it overrated and hey presto, views and comments.
Thanks for sharing your opinion on the subject! For me the table saw is essential! I use it on every single project and almost everyday I’m in the shop. I had two smaller table saws and grew beyond their capabilities very quickly! I have a huge outfeed table because it doubles as an assembly table. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I disagree. My miter saw is used more than any other power tools I have in my shop. I build a lot of things like cabinets and a miter saw is great for cutting rails, stiles and face frames to exact length after ripping on table saw. Without my miter saw, tasks would take a lot longer and length accuracy would be difficult on a board over 4' long. A miter saw should be your first power tool, aside from drill,s drivers wtc.
Completely understandable! I know a lot of people will disagree with my opinions here! I just want people to think about whether they really need the tool before spending a lot of money and space for a miter saw when there are other options. I also know some people will find them completely indispensable in their shop, which is why I listed the categories of people that need a miter saw. I’m assuming you fall into one of those categories?
@@biscuittreewoodworks Says the man with a $3000+ Sawstop table saw and other capable tools. A novice should never buy a table saw first as their go-to wood cutting machine. The vast majority of ER visits are from table saws vs. any other workshop machine. Novices don't understand the dangers of wood tension that binds the blade and chunk of wood in your face at 100MPH. Or ripping thin stock against a fence. Or picking up an offcut before the blade has stopped. Table saw guards get in the way and many people just toss them. Buy a miter saw as your first machine tool and learn how to use it. If you decide you don't need it for what you build later, you don't need a video like this to tell you that. Geez.
The dangers you listed are still things people have to learn at the table saw and not the miter saw. My goal here is to get people thinking about whether they actually need a tool before spending a lot of money on it. Believe it or not, I didn’t always have a $3000 table saw. I started with nothing but a circular saw and a drill. My first “major” tool purchase was a $150 table saw, which I quickly realized was a waste of money. I’ve bought many tools over the years. Some great, others garbage. I’m just trying to help beginners make good decisions. If it doesn’t apply to you right now, then I’m sorry the video wasn’t for you. I hope that maybe the next one will help you in some other way!
@@biscuittreewoodworks All of us woodworkers started out with basic tools, unless your dad was a carpenter and you inherited his stuff. I think I have well over $100k in tools now, when my first tool was a corded drill.
@@bobbray9666oh wow! I don’t think I have that much in tools yet! If I do, don’t tell my wife!!!
