As a new woodworker hobbyist I really appreciate you sharing your vast knowledge with us. My grandfather was a woodworker but I was too young to learn from him. So happy that you and others are sharing with younger generations. Thank you.

99% of old woodworkers dont know that a deck or two of playing cards can replace most wood shims in your shop. They really come in handy dealing with twisted lumber.

I watched the video despite the title. Appreciate the provider efforts.

Great video, as a new hobbyist I've been taking class at the woodcraft store and when I ask questions I'm getting similar answers, so thank you. 😎

[billabram]

Fantastic video! One of the best I have ever seen on wood working! Should be mandatory to watch for every wood worker! ! ! I'm saving to play again.

Noob question -- why not use a router to cut the tenon? Also seems like you could use a router to cut the mortise if you first drill a pilot hole for the router bit, and then square off the edges of the hole with a chisel. But I'm a super noob so I may not know what I'm talking about.

I'm not much into wood working and don't even own table saw, been thinking about getting one though, I really liked that miter sled around 16mins in vid. Realized fairly early on when you mentioned it doesn't even have to be absolutelu perfect, but if one uses both sides of jig, degrees in total are indeed still always the same, even though there would be slight misalignment. Never thought about that before. Good tip, thank you. I'll for sure keep this in mind in future

I estimate that 99% of woodworkers don’t know how to transplant a kidney.

Thank you making this video! Excellent tips presented in a slow and controlled way to make it easy to understand!!

You're the first creator I've seen use raised runners on a sled. That makes so much sense to me. I haven't made a sled of any kind, because I find I can do everything I need with a quality miter gauge. If I ever make a sled I'll use raised runners, so thanks for that tip.

Not sure why one would make domino joinery with a doweling jig. Two dowels are as strong or stronger than a domino. Drill the two holes and skip all the hogging out between them.

When I began woodworking on my own I did get discouraged watching the new Yankee workshop. Everything came out perfect for him, but not for me. I like what you taught about the 45 degree sled.

Thank you, I have learned a lot.

I am your new subscriber.

Very good info...kinda proves my point I try to make though, having the right equipment is essential to make life easier with better results, so to beginners, do all you can to get jointers and plainers and a table saw with a good fence, gotta have a great fence more so then the brand, but if it's totally out of reach these tips are essential, and I for one am greatfull for guys like these that can show tricks in case you can't get the equipment...

[MrManolismo]

thank you sir, for your tutorial. I am a retired 67 yr old man.

Please take more care when using that saw. At one point your wrist was just too close... Otherwise a good vid xx

I think even more that techniques, nearly all handcrafts are based on recipes (for want of a better word). It's all well and good knowing techniques, but if you don't know in which order to apply them, you will often have to undo work. Just as an example, roofing. If you don't know in which order you should lay roof boards, sheeting, battens etc. You can find yourself undoing hours of work. And it is the recipes you learn from more experienced craftsmen, techniques you can pick up from Youtube (sometimes 🙂)

[jasonzvokel]

I enjoy all your videos and the way you explain the processes; however, I do prefer the traditional methods 😂.... (The Curious Woodworker). Thank you for sharing your knowledge and common sense approach - big fancy expensive tools aren't needed to enjoy the craft!

[MrSmackdab]

actually you can just run a cut on the 90 (yielding a 45) and flipping it over (provided the wood is parallel) If it's exact it will be reflective :)

He says taking a jointer plane to joint two edges is “a lot of time and it’s a lot of work”. This takes 10 seconds with a hand plane.
I wouldn’t take too much advice from a guy that reaches close to a blade that is still spinning (at 13:51)
I know he’s making these videos to try and help amateur woodworkers but at least give good and safe advice.

14:30 What glue has to be used for the saw dust filler? In case of pine, my saw dust filler (white wood glue or super glue) is always darker than the wood.
