Ask Sandra 1 – your questions answered
I had a lot of fun putting this together. I even have a couple instructional videos filmed too (one in response to a certain MDF and rough edges question). The editing process kills me but I’ll get ’em out!
For the time being — here’s the first official “Ask Sandra” video.
If you have a question you’d like me to answer this week, you can ask it here on this pos. If you have a picture you’d like me to look at (so you can ask me a question), upload it on twitter or instagram: tag me @SawdustGirl and use #AskSandra so we can find you.

Great video, loved your project…. please keep posting…
Hi Sandra,
Can we ask a question here? I have a question:
When joining 2 boards together at right angles, how can you ensure that the join is square? Is there a trick to this?
you can start by getting inside and outside corner clamps.
Whoooo! Thanks for answering my Shopatblu.com paint sprayer question! Onto the video! You are hilarious!!!! Answer session to include the fountain of youth! Bahahahaha!
thought your video was great and informative. will be looking into your consult program as I get farther down the road with projects.
Loved your video! I have a question for you: I have a miter saw, circular saw, drill, Kreg jig, compressor, and a set of basic nail guns. Now I’d like to purchase a table saw. My budget is about $500. How do I choose one? And how do I learn to use it? In case it matters, I’ m a 68-year-old woman who took up simple woodworking when I retired two years ago. My current project is closet organizers for the master closet and I’m about half finished. I really think a table saw would increase accuracy and decrease frustration. Help!
I am also older (59) and finally buying a table saw. I have had a job site table saw for years but it is unsteady and has a short span for wood crossing over it. I will buy the best possible used table saw and build appropriate height accessory tables to move longer boards thru and over it. I am looking at a seldom used Jet table saw being sold by a woman who got her husbands tools in a divorce. I hope to pay less than $500 for it.
