Matt, I remember when you first started making videos, you were timid, scared and kind of stumbling through, but there was just something about you that made me want to keep watching them - Now, it's like watching a completely different person - you've definitely became a Professional and I am SO happy I kept watching!!! Great job my man!!!

That framing square fence is DEFINITELY genius!

Best list of basic carpenter tools for precision work.

Constantly inspired by you to just keep pushing through and I love that you aren't afraid to wear your faith! Thanks man!!

[stephengee]

A friend gave me a bunch of tools after he gave up woodworking. I had no idea what the framing square fence was either! Thanks! Now I know!

Matt, you are one of the most blessed men I know. Looks like people bless you just to see if they can out-bless the last guy that blessed you. All jokes aside, the most blessed gift is to realize and ACT upon the desire to do what you love. (do something you love and you’ll never work another day in your life). I don’t think most of us can say that.

Love the DowellMax. It is well engineered and accurate. I can set up and drill holes without needing to measure and it is dead on. Example. I was making some built in cabinets and needed to join two pieces of plywood 57" in length. I flushed up against the end of ply wood, did a step and repeat along the entire length with about 12-15 holes in each piece of ply. Put the dowels in and the two pieces fit together perfectly. I never even measured or marked the pieces!

I really like that Taylor "Removable Carpenter Framing Square Fence" A LOT!!!! I just wish it was in stock, I'd buy one in a heartbeat.

Matt I have a 4, 6, starette combination squares plus a 12 inch starette combination square plus an 18 inch blade for it . I use all of these all the time . I take very good care of them because they are very precise.

Using the dowelmax I was able to make cedar outdoor furniture out of 4x4 and dowel the arms at a 45 degree angle. This is the only thing I could find that would do it. I love it and now use it for everything.

Bro the foot pedal has been a godsend I hook it up to my router table to my homemade band saw with my upside down jigsaw but also I knew my own wood from trees on my property and it is amazing to use with the fixed base router and a jig to plane each side of my board love it man best best money I've ever spent recently bought four more of those they're just awesome for everything it saves you from I'm going to get your finger in by something or when something goes wrong you just let your foot off and everything quits just amazing

Good stuff Matt, I loved the Starette square, I actually inherited 2 of them from my grandfather about 45 years ago and they were over 60 years or so old when I got them and they still look like they have very little ware because my Grandfather and I always take very good care of our tools.

The Dowelmax is an awesome tool. I’ve been using one for about 18 years and that’s a tool I’d recommend to anyone.

[steveholloway]

Dowel max is awesome. I use it for everything if I can. Thanks for the other suggestions. I’ll have to check those out

[kristacarroll]

Please do some more videos using the Dowel Max. I've used pocket holes for the last 4 years in my woodworking projects. Love them, but I'm ready to up my game and this is the first video where a dowel tool appears to be user friendly and relatively fast. I've been dying to get better at making stronger joints, but thought it would take longer and be more difficult than pocket hole joints. Thank you! Oh yeah, my husband is LEO family too - 27 years. We are from Georgia. Thank you and I look forward to your next video. May the Lord continue to do a work in you and your wife.

Your view on the tape measures are true... I just witnessed a major difference between a Freeman's tape and a Caltex tape videos are awesome...

[piptyson]

Love learning about new tools and gadgets that makes work better. Thanks once again!!

[nateswoodcraft]

Nice job sir. I'm going to have to look into the dowelmax. I like the square fence too 👊

[joemassena]

I bought the dowelmax about 9 years ago, easily the best tool I ever bought!

[pteddie]

Great video, Matt. Each of these tools is outstanding. Thanks for mentioning and showcasing them and thanks for the video.
