  • I am an engineer (also retired as another poster mentioned) and I appreciate your focus on precision and using math where appropriate. Never apologize for that. Those who don’t care about precision or who didn’t pay attention in high school trig class can go elsewhere as there are a lot of “close enough” videos on youtube for folks like that. You appeal to folks who want to be the best they can be. Ignore the folks who are in the “mediocre is good enough” camp as they have many other youtube contributors they can watch.

  • Viewing this almost exactly 3 years after it was made. This 2-cut method for the miter sled, and the 5-cut method for the cross-cut sled is so well explained and so straightforward, who wouldn't want to put this little extra effort in to make perfect 90s and 45s?

    • @@justinkemeter Your comment turns out to be interesting in that a month later another 16,000 people have viewed the video, so there are still a lot of people making use of William's methods. If anything, I think the rational behind perfect mitre sled angles is even more clever than William's five cut cross cut sled method, and that is really saying something. It irks me terribly when other woodworking channels insist that individual 45° are not important so long as the two sides add up to 90°. It is sloppy and lazy, but mostly down to them not being clever enough to do it right. Huge respect to William, and shame on Steve Ramsey (one of the haters) for touting substandard instruction videos.

I am a Tinsmith who first passion is woodworking. Thank you for increasing the precision and sharing your process with woodworkers like me who enjoy reaching for 100 percent. Wood has an unpredictable variable than happens in a project. So, when i reach for 100 and get 95%, I'm not discourage, I am motivated to reach that 100%. Most Craftsmen of Journeymen I know always reach for perfection knowing it is not always possible. Thank you for reaching for high quality workmanship.

The background "math" is essential for those of us who actually want to learn the How of what you do, this allows us to work from principles we understand, rather than trying to follow a recipe. From understanding comes problem solving, which ultimately allows us to create our own solutions. Please keep up what you do, way better to smarten the audience up than to dumb down the content.

  • Mr. Ng, here's the thing with regard to your videos, math, and people complaining about difficulty. Screw 'em! You're demonstrating precision ways to make jigs so that using them will result in precise results. There's a reason why 5,000+ liked your video. I kinda struggled with you 5-cut method of squaring the fence to the blade and once I slowed down and did the simple math and went step-by-step, I was able to square my fence to < .0005" after the 2nd attempt. This has helped me make safe and precise cuts quickly. There's always gonna be some whiners and complainers on KZhead, but you'll rarely if at all see those people posting videos that are better. Again, examine the complaint. People seem to be too lazy to strive towards higher quality work and would rather accept non-squared cuts as 'good enough'. Oh well, let them do their thing.

Thank you for taking the time to make your videos and showing everyone that there is more than one way of doing most things, and that if you put in a little more work on the front end, you won’t have problems on the back end, or at least as many. I have been in home building & renovations, for the past twenty years, and build most of our cabinetry and doors. The little adjustments you are taking the time to do up front, make the installation, and use of the final product, much better.

People would never admit they never got the whole reading thing, or ..."sorry, I sign my name with an X." ......just never got along with writing or typing or the alphabet. But they think its perfectly OK not to understand 8th grade mathematics. How did they get their HS diploma. And if you cant do middle school math remember the Fifth Amendment: You aren't required to admit to the the whole world what you cant do. I brought your new video with the miter cuts and the A and B similar isosceles right triangles to my colleges here and we had a very good time marvelling at the genius of woodworkers.

The tools I can afford are not of the quality to which you have access, however, following your guidance, I believe I can attain similar degrees of accuracy and precision. Over the course of this winter, I have not had access to my power tools, so I have made use of the time to watch dozens of projects and instructional videos on KZhead and I have begun to develop my skill using non-powered hand tools to make several projects. I am looking forward to implementing many of the techniques I have studied. Thanks again for the quality of your presentations. I look forward to learning more from you.

The ones who don't appreciate what you have contributed are simply jealous they can't do as well. Go find a safe place and wait for their participation trophy. Keep doing what your doing it is true woodworking at it's finest.

  • I've been waiting to see your solution to this problem since I found your "5 cuts" video. Mine was more 'trig-y' but got me pretty close. I really like your use of parallelism to get the fence made, so I'll try yours and see if I can do better. Thanks for the great content. Try not to let the negative crowd get you down. It tends to be louder than the positive crowd, but it's definitely a very small percentage of the overall impression you're making.

  • I enjoy your videos, but I knew I would as soon as I saw you using calipers an speaking in thousands of an inch. I recently acquired a large heavy ornate picture frame and wanted to cut it down, so, I built your miter jig, it worked like a dream. Thanks so much for your video, you taught this 74 year old dog a new way to do things.

  • It's funny that he said people were rude to him about how precise the method was. Now just about every woodworking KZhead channel has a video about how to use "The William Ng" method. You're a legend William!

  • William, having read some of the comments here, there is no reason for me to say much, since I would be repeating all the praise that is rightfully heaped upon you! When I saw your video on building a table saw sled a few months ago I was blown away by your presentation. Not surprisingly, the guy at Kings Woodworking (who himself does great work) gave credit to you for the 5-cut method. When I finally get around to building a sled, I know with your video nearby I will be building it correctly.

  • William, Please keep doing your videos and helping the rest of us! I for one really appreciate the time and effort you put into them. I may have had to watch the sled video a few times to understand exactly what to do. Even after that, if I didn't want to do it and go back to making "close enough" cross cuts I can use the framing square method to build a sled. Explaining the math or showing people how to make stuff with precision is interesting and shows what can be accomplished. People, if you don't like the video, stop watching. It's that simple. To make a negative comment about something you got for free makes you a complete jerk. Please just go back to quietly doing it your way and be respectful. William - Thanks again for your videos. I'm becoming a little better at my craft each day! :-)

  • your "5 Cuts to a "Perfect" Cross-Cut Sled" is the ultimate and most brilliant there ever was and will be on KZhead or anywhere else. you made it possible to get as accurate as 0.00001 on sleds. so many people since then are using your calculations to calibrate their sled. pay no attention to the jealous morons that don't get it or are plain envious because they been using and cutting with errors and can't handle the truth. perfection is always misunderstood and frowned upon by those that can't rise to that level.

  • William you have done it again! I have been hating all the 'So long as both sides add up to 90° it will be fine' videos. I found this video yesterday but the sound was not working for me, but thank goodness it was fine today. Now I have an approach to achieving acceptable accuracy, and I offer my sincere thanks for demonstrating it. I started my working life as a toolmaker, and finished it running the external instrument calibration and repair contract at Ford UK Product Development, so it is important to me to be as accurate as is reasonably possible. I am enjoying working with wood in my retirement despite the frustrations it has with it being impossible to work to the tolerances I was used to, and even when you got it close, a week later it would be miles out. But that is no reason not to do our best, and I thank you for giving us the tools make that 'best' a whole lot closer than other KZhead channel presenters offer us.

Also thank you very much for your 5 cut method; your video and explanation was very easy to follow and rather simple yet quite ingenious. I now finally have a sled I can trust to within a tho and I couldn't be happier, no more frustration with not being able to simply make a perfectly square cut!! (that was getting annoying....). Please keep up the videos as long as you can and ignore the trolls. The vast majority of us highly appreciate your content and your teaching style. THANK YOU!!!
