I am not a woodworker but I love to watch craftsperson show their skills. I am retired from professional management and my favorite activity was training and teaching young people in my field. You do a good job. I will subscribe to your channel. BTW, thank you for your honorable service to our nation.

Can’t lie. I have yet to regret buying ANYTHING you’ve recommended. Just had to purchase and handle 9 sheets of 3/4 plywood, including those heavy Baltic birch sheets and the Grabo made it so easy! That thing was worth every penny! Grabo, Wera Toolset, Festool, Graco Ultimate Quickshot, and on and on. All have been very significant upgrades in terms of efficiency, quality results, dust collection and more. All have made woodworking and even better experience. As a weekend DIYer with half of a two car garage as my limited workspace, efficiency counts as does not wasting time and clean up. Zero regrets. Thanks Jason!

Another great video with honest dialogue on tools. Even though it was an ad, mental health is no joke. I had several injuries working as a firefighter that ended my career. My wife and family stood with me as I dealt with the demons of feeling broken, a failure and not a man any longer. Lost. Found a therapist that helped me. There is nothing wrong with getting help!

It doesn’t take a psychopath to need both metric and imperial measurements. Just go north. Here in Canada it’s not unusual to find plywood sold as 4 feet X 8 feet by 19 mm. Living next to the U.S. means wrestling with both. I won’t even go into recipes that mix Fahrenheit, Celsius, milliliters, cups, ounces, and grams. But we love you anyway.

Thank you for your service to our country, Mr. Bent. And thank you for the service you now provide in Bent's Woodworking. My own retirement (one and a half years) has been richer, more fun because of your presentations.

Hey Brother! USAF retiree/woodworker here. Thanks for your service! I have that same DeWalt router and picked up a plunge base for it and it’s even better. I really appreciate your content. Keep it up!

That snap together TSO tray is the same thing as the dice trays you can grab at your local hobby store, probably for cheaper, in the event that you don't feel like ordering online or want to shop local.

I've been using the Grabo's for a couple of years and they are very much worth the money. I'm a one person shop and they have made my life so much easier when moving sheets of plywood to my saw. However, the Rockler Material Mate Panel Cart is the second part to moving sheet goods. Use the Grabo to get the plywood to the Material Mate, then flip the MM up to slide the plywood onto the table saw. I've used the Grabo's to move stone around too when I've made walkways. Having two is even better. Great video, as usual!

WOW! Surprise how you spilled the bean about your life....this tells me a lot about your heart....thank you so much....The stigma is not as bad as it used to be when i was younger...i got straightened out at 22 and been straight for 52 yrs now...(not bragging) again thank

[bertsabo]

Always enjoy your videos! On another note thank you for your service! I am glad you were able to get the help you needed. Stay safe!

There is never a disadvantage to owning quality tools. Thanks for the insight.

The new "casual style" is SO MUCH BETTER!! I have most of the toys you were showing and I LOVE them. Buy once and cry once. Well done sir.

Talks about using the reamer/chamfer tool all the time. Cuts to a view of a table without chamfered holes 🙂
It is a convenient product, though. I have one myself too.

Great video, as always 👍.
I love seeing the latest gadgetry that makes things easier, faster, better,
even I can’t afford them right now.
Let the Haters Hate. Lol
I can confirm that the Bessey parallel clamp extenders do work with other brands.
I have a bunch of Bremen parallel clamps from Harbor Freight and they fit just fine with Bessey Extenders.
As the saying goes. You get what you pay for.
One of my clamps already stripped in one spot.
Might have Over Cranked it?
Don’t know if Bessey's ever strip out? Never owned them.
I’m newer to woodworking so they haven't had a ton of use yet.
They do come with a lifetime warranty.
I think HF does that just to get you back in the store to buy more stuff.
I'll be eligible to retire in September 2024 😂
37 Years of Commercial Flooring installation….
I'm currently building a Workshop in my 22x25 garage.
Been working day & night on it for over a year.
Wifey startin to get a little ehem… you know…
So I promised we would finally go on a nice Vacation for our 30th Anniversary coming soon.
That got her Happy Again…
Time to buy and build more stuff in the garage. lol
Starting from just one old chop saw,
and now going
Full Blown Work Shop.
It takes a hell of alot of time and $$
I try to stretch my dollar on some items, when I can.
Sometimes you win.
Sometimes you lose.
I don't cheap out on everything though.
Thanks to learning from you and and too many others to name.
I did buy a
Sawstop 3hp
Harvey G-700 Dust Collection System
Harvey Alpha Band Saw
I Did buy my full size drill press from Harbor Freight though... lol... Works Great!
Also got (Nordfab like) Air Ducting from THE BLAST GATE COMPANY in Warren Michigan for anyone looking into Metal Snap together Ducting.
They are pretty much the same as NordFab for a Way Better Price.
I read their parts fit together with Nordfab if that says anything?
I wish I had the time to video and edit everything I have done.
A drastic change.
It’s finally all coming together.
For those who think Content Creators have it easy…
If I were to have taken the time to record and edit and post everything I have done in my shop.
I’d probably be a year behind schedule…lol
Keep up the Great Work!

for a straightedge I went to Home depot and bought a 9' piece of square tube stock. got it home and cut it into 2', 3', and a 4' pieces. those have been serving me well.

Never seen your channel before but will be watching more. Love your description of things, way of valuing things, and good god your workshop is incredible looking

[Buflonob]

Great video, glad you liked the Dewalt router, just bought it myself and now happy ididn't go cheap first as was reluctant I'd spent too much. Will prob try out a few of your other things too. keep informing us.

[ilivelivemusic]

Great video. Some of this stuff I have, some I’ve been debating getting and this will move me forward, and others I was completely unaware of. I love your videos, always easy to follow and practical. I’m building my first set of wall-to-wall cabinets and bookcases and have been looking at your base leveling, drawer slide, and cabinet build videos nearly daily. Thanks so much.

[mleys]

You got yourselve a new subscriber sir. I am so pleased that I get to see a sponsor for better mental health on a channel directed to men. I sincerely hope that it might help someone to seek support to get a happier life. Thank you !

[tremolobar]

I ordered the router from your link. I’m going to start ramping up for the season now that the temperatures are getting warmer.
