Great subdued sense of humor. Indispensable, no doubt

If you're broke student like me what's gonna do the trick is buying vintage, absolutely amazing tools after you spend some hours cleaning rust and sharpening

[rossmacandrews]

Love it. Not buying the cheapest tools is definitely Good advice. I spent too long struggling with cheap tools and it really was ruined my enthusiasm for woodworking and made me feel like I would never be good at it. I now am building my collection of quality tools (as quickly as my budget allows) and the difference is immense. I also have that same low angle jack plane, my first quality tool, I love it. I enjoyed this video.

Been toying with the idea of doing some woodworking again (haven't since highschool).
Great video.

Thank you for this video, it is refreshing. No big tools, it's all about woodworking with simple but good tools. In my case I discovered you 3 weeks ago and you gave me the taste of simplicity for the realization of beautiful works, thank you.

You got good advice a great aesthetic. Please make more project and technique videos.

I recommend the narex richter chisels. they are affordable, but great quality. take very little prep, and hold an edge as well as anything else ive used. start with the quarter or half inch, and buy as needed to get the sizes you require. I have the cheaper narex, they are great as well, especially for the price, but the feel of the richters are worth a few extra bucks.

Great video! Underrated channel for sure

[luisarodriguez]

Appreciate you being concise. In my opinion, speaking up is a good idea for further videos (it could be my laptop speakers but, ) at maximum volume level I was having a hard time hearing your thorough explanation.
Thanks for taking the time to share :)

[sunjayjay]

Can I make a 12ft dresser with just these tools

Great video and I'll have to check out more of your uploads.

Incidently, Juuma planes are sold across the world but with different brand names. There are slight differences with each brand label, but they are only trivial in nature and not worth worrying about. "Luban" is what they're called in Australia, "Juuma" is the nomenclature in Germany, in Britain they're described as "Quansheng" and in North America they're known as "Woodriver". I have an extraordinary # of these planes, that I have bought from across the world and they are all indeed the same manufacturer/planes. They are a true rival to that of Veritas and Lie Nielsen planes, but sold at an astounding fraction of the price, but this is steadily changing now, as people realize the genuine value and quality of their items.

In many respects and in key areas Juuma is a vastly better product. For example: Juuma/Quansheng/Luban etc., use sharper and proper tool steel for their blades, instead of a duller A2 steel or a fake cryogenic hardening method. When you think about it; freezing something doesn't change it - hence why you keep food in a fridge. Hardening steel requires vast amounts of heat/energy to change it and then rapidly drop that energy level to produce a result (although the dropped temp is still insanely high). You don't get a hardened tool steel from a freezer (which takes the energy/heat out of something, preventing it from changing), but both Lie Nielsen and Veritas falsely claim you can - which makes one question their reputation and even the quality of their products. Once you realize they are deliberately deceiving customers with marketing, you then have to ask, why can't they sell items on their own potential benefit? Fake marketing can tell you so much about a company and their integrity.

Lovely video, your videos are truly inspiring, and I love your color grading! In the tool list, is the waterstone supposed to be 1200 grit, instead of 12000 grit? The finest I'm finding available is 8000 grit.

I see you also browse DS fine-tools ;)

Lovely channel you got here!
