Being a bit dyslexic, I measure thrice, cut twice and discard because I built the whole thing backwards.
-
I don’t call it making a mistake. I call it cutting the perfect sized board for a future project.
-
This is the most concise, no nonsense, perfect tips for getting started woodworking. Been at it for 30 yrs and this breaks down all the basics that takes experience to learn. Love the breakdown, love your organized shop, and love the no BS presentation. Thank you for taking the time to share. That was one heck of a kickback, hope that one never actually happens!
-
Very realistic reenactment of a kickback in the face :)
-
Rarely have I come across a video such as this. It is 13:19 long, not a second wasted, not a word too many. Wonderful!
-
I'm an experienced woodworker but I still loved this video. You are an amazing presenter. Keep up the great work.
-
It never hurts to go over the basics no matter how long you have been woodworking. Nice Video Thank you Marie.
-
One of the best wood working videos I've ever seen, thank you.
-
This is the most realistic for beginners I’ve seen. I watch tips and tricks all the time, but I’m not a beginner by any means. Most videos like this I come across are too advanced and don’t explain the basics. There’s a couple tips in here that I haven’t seen in any video I’ve ever watched so great work.
-
I know it's not the topic du jour, but I like the simplicity and functionality of your shop organization. A tidy shop is a safe and productive shop.
-
You hit the nail right on the head. Very important & essential precautions , especially safety matters . Thanks
-
The dramatic reenactment of the kickback effect was the most compelling argument for both the need for safety in the workshop and for the support of the arts! Bravo! ❤
-
Those were really good tips for beginners. I remember building some drawer fronts for the first time and didn’t consider the blade kerf and had some measurements I couldn’t figure out lol. It all worked out but it’s something new wood workers would never think of, I know I didn’t at the time. Thanks for the video.
-
Good basic reminders even for those of us that have been doing it for awhile! Thanks Marie.
-
A well presented quick list of all the mistakes and misconceptions a newbie will encounter. Save yourself 1-2 years of headaches and take notes people, this is gold!
-
All the basics I needed to know when I started woodworking in just 13 minutes. Plus, I've been struggling with cross cutting using mitre saw and circular saw due to not being sure where to place the blade. Now I know! How much frustration this will save me from now on.
-
I've found this simple rule for router direction easy to remember: With your right hand, point your thumb at the edge, and your forefinger will point the way you should move the router Love your videos--thank you! You do a great job of balancing being succinct with providing us with just the right amount of information. Plus, you explain in a way that most everyone can understand. Lastly, you use tools that most of us can afford 👍
-
Very informative! I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone breakdown softwood and hardwood, as well as, sanding. Like you just did. Good job 👍
-
This would be so helpful for beginners and a good refresher for more experienced woodworkers! Thanks for sharing. I always enjoy your video's!!!
-
Excellent refresher on some of the items we take for granted. Thank you!
