Wally’s Woodwork & Signs
Canada
Приєднався 29 жов 2015
Wally’s Woodworks is designed to inspire and connect with my fellow DIY'ers. I am just a guy with a small shop who loves making things out of wood and concrete. I try to gear my videos and plans to the average DIY'er so that you can see how easy a project can be if you just follow a logical series of steps. I'm also learning Google Sketchup so I can create a usable plan to share with you. Hopefully I can also show you how easy yet powerful that program is!
I appreciate your comments and feedback about my videos and plans.

How much sanding is generally required after cutting holes?
It depends on the material but generally just a light sanding to take away the rough edges. It isn’t really designed to be a finish cut tool but with the right blade and some patience you can make very smooth cuts and reduce the sanding greatly.
Excellent video. Thank you sir.
Glad it was helpful!
Yjank you Sir.🎉
Thanks for the information. I going to cut a4x4 trated and make a curve cut , what blade do you recomend, I am trying to make a japanese torii gate for my garden.
I don’t know of any blade that will cut through a 4 x 4 completely. You’ll be able to cut partway through from one side and then you’ll have to flip it to the other side to cut the rest.
Who gives a fuck what a guy who works with ryobi has to say , its like a beggar in rags duscusses hugo boss
I'm hear again 2 years later! I needed to brush up on the speeds to use for which wood. Thank you!!
That’s awesome! Thank you again!
What blade do you recommend for cutting curves? A finer blade?
Yes, a finer tooth blade will give you a smoother cut for your curves. Generally jigsaws aren’t great at cutting tight curves though so go slowly and watch for flexing of the blade. You may need to add some relief cuts to your wood to help the process. The only caution here is that the finer tooth blades will have a tendency to burnish the wood if you let it sit in one place too long. I use the Bosch T101AO blades, they work quite well on curves.
You never mention what the dial on the side used for and which applications to use upcut vs. downcut blades-when to use in each case.
Thanks, I actually have another video coming out that talks about a few of the things I missed in this one.
Just found your channel! Great tips! Subbed!
Thank you so much!
Thanks
Great video. Thanks Ray
This is good insight. I didn't know some of these things about the jigsaw
🎉You are so genuine. I can understand what you are teaching. I just bought my first jigsaw. I used a circular saw for most everything and then a multi-tool for the rest. Now I have more confidence in using my jigsaw. I understand about safety of course. Especially since mine came with a U blade. Lol I will be purchasing the right blade for the wood i am using. Great tip scoring the line first, then using the packing tape. Awesome! Thank you so much for this fun and informative video! 😊
Great. I’ll try these options and let you know. Cheers and Happy New Year! 🍻
I have the same model and my blade is drifting off the wheel. Do you have advice?
Hi, thanks for this question. First, make sure your wheel spins freely. It could be that there is friction there that kicks the blade out. If that’s not it, let’s run through a couple possible other causes: 1) make sure you are using a T style blade. This jigsaw needs the stability of the T style to keep it in line. 2) I find that when my blade gets dull it tends to want to wander more. Maybe check to see if your blade is dull. 3) Blade speed. I find that when I cut thicker materials, the blade needs to be cutting at a higher speed to keep straight. If you are putting constant light pressure against the piece you are cutting, it should keep the blade in the wheel socket. Try those and let me know if that works. If not, let’s keep exploring. Good luck.
Thank. You. !!!
Nice
You didnt say what the white knob on the side of the saw was for, Mine has it and it looks like it changes the stroke of the blade what is this for?
I know a good tutor when I see one! Sir you got my attention at t=0.1s Thank you for the tips!!!
Glad it helped! I really appreciate the feedback.
Okay which number is the highest speed and which one is the lowest speed. I have numbers 1to5 and for the oscillating. It's like 0 up to 4 or 5. Which is the best setting is zero the best setting. For the speed, is five the highest and Is one the lowest.?
You did a good job on this one :)
What blade do u need to cut hole in cargo vehicle . That has metal and wood
Hi, you can buy a metal blade for that application. It will cut through metal and wood. It has finer teeth so you’ll need to go as slow as the blade wants to go to not burn the wood.
I just used it to cut a few pieces of plywood boards ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxqqoaX03nrziKwF7Bjjcc71YzLEleMvOS works great. The blade that came with it isn't very good and I bought a much better bosch one which made much cleaner cuts. Blades were cheap, a few bucks.
THANKS APPRECAITE IT
Thanks for the sharing! very helpful for my DIY project.
Glad it helped!
My first jigsaw (an HP ONE+) is coming today, and this was super duper helpful. I'd imagine I could even cut out the shape of an electric guitar body with it, which is pretty amazing. Assumed I'd need some crazy jig or cnc router.
I really really had OVER MODULATE INTROS... CAN'T YOU PEOPLE CONTROL YOUR VIDEOS?!!
Thank you so much
Background music is too loud compared to the voice.
There isn’t any music. It’s probably from your house 🤪
Do you score lines after putting tape down?
Hi, I’ve done both ways in the past. If you are going to score lines, do it before you put the tape down. That seems to work best for me.
@@DIYWithWally thank you for the quick reply! Just got this same jigsaw and I really love the tips
Oh this is good. That Ryobi is big. I have my eye on it. I think that's the one I want but does the LED light stay on for a few seconds after it starts? I heard it's kinda heavy compared to others.
Ope! I see now. It doesn't stay on. Shoot. Hmmmmm.
I would agree that this style is generally heavier than the barrel style but that also helps keep it anchored to the wood a bit more. I would say you wouldn’t really notice the little extra weight. As for the LED light, it stays on the whole time you are cutting but then goes off when you are done. Hope that helps.
@@DIYWithWally Thank you. The Ryobi are just all around good from everything I read!
Please kill the blaring music!
There is no music
I just bought a jigsaw and want to know how to use it correctly. Your video was spot on in helping me. Thank you.
Thank you so much! I think you’ll find it a very useful tool. 👍🏻
Thanks Wally. Really good your presentation.
Thank you!!

Thanks for the excellent video. Very good information and tips. Keep up the good work! 👍
Thank you so much!
Thanks for your helpful video ! Is there a reason for the jig kicking back? I'm afraid I'm going to break the blade. Cutting 3cm of poplar baton in half down the middle. Not forcing much at all! Tried all different blade speeds. Tried speed settings 1-3 also. Anyone can respond with more tips please?
Normally when the saw kicks back a bit, It’s because you are trying to force the blade through the wood faster than the saw can handle. What happens when you slow the feed rate down? Does the wood tear at all? It could also simply be that the blade needs to be replaced. Let us know we’d like to help figure this out for you.
@@DIYWithWally It's all brand new. Yesterday I purchased the jig, with 4 blades. I've tried all speed for blade and cut. STILL kicks. Correct blade for this jig too. I just posted a video of me trying. @Stephen_Strange
@@Stephen_Strangeyou’re prob using the wrong blade for what you’re cutting
You@@legzn2423 are right - I found some other videos, advising with wood, and I changed it to a finer toothed blade. Worked just dandy ! Thank you.
Hi@@DIYWithWally - it still kicked back, the blade had teeth too far apart, needed a finer toothed blade !
Thanks Wally for the heads up, learnt a few things that I didn't know.
Excellent description of the tools, concepts, and tips. You made it very clear and easy to understand for an uninitiated person like me. Thank you!
Thank you so much, that means a lot to me when I hear that. 👍🏻
Interest tip about slowing down the speed of the jigsaw for hardwoods. When you say slow down the speed of the cut do you mean slow down the feed rate of the saw i.e. the speed at which you push your jigsaw forward ? Lots of good tips there, thanks
Hi, thanks for taking time to comment! What I mean is to slow the actual saw stroke count. Most newer jigsaws are variable speed and some even have a chart that shows what speed to use for different materials. Having said that, it would also be wise to slow your feed rate down too. That will reduce tearout even more. Hope that helps.
What are the dimensions?
Thanks for the lessons I am first time user and this tip are helpful
Thank you! You’ll find it a very handy tool!
Thanks
Wally, I like how you come across in your video. You seem like a genuine person. All the best to you and thanks for the tips. Btw, I notice you have other Ryobi tools. Have you been happy with them? My first Ryobi tool (jigsaw) is arriving tomorrow. I'm hoping the One+ 18V ecosystem will be something I can get into, being more of a hobyist.
Hi, thank you so much!! I have been very happy with my Ryobi tools so far, the One+ batteries have lasted me for over 5 years and most of the tools have been very useful. For a hobbyist the Ryobi line is just fine. Thank you for taking time to comment!
Just watched this. Great information and fantastic techniques!!
Wally, your hard wood tips are awesome!
