Thank you so much. I love the beginner builds, they dont get a lot of views but they are a lot of fun. I will line a few more up over the coming months.

Could not agree more. Not sure why. but I have just made another 6. Felt right. All slightly different. all too pretty to use lol.

That sounds stunning.

Thank you.

Its true but I remember trying it once and because the sole of my plane wasn't flat, the two boards became like two arches so even though the angles matched they still didn't fit. So many pitfalls for the beginner even on something simple.

Yes. It means you can be inaccurate so long as you are on both.

Thank you so much. This is exactly my aim. I am glad that it comes across. I have a table saw and to be honest, it is more of a luxury than a necessity.

Thank you Cindy. I really enjoyed making this one so there will be more on the way. Planning the next one to be a review video but have included a build in there to keep going along these lines.

Thank you Mark.

Great advice. Thank you. Will give it a shot today.

More to come. Thank you.

I may have a magnet, French cleat and mallet problem Ian.

@@startmaking1 I can relate to that in so many ways. I am a bit of an over achiever when it comes to collecting gadgets for the shop etc. LOL. We might be cut from the same tree buddy

I think you are right. But isnt it fun collecting.

@@startmaking1 Absolutely the best!

@@startmaking1 Absolutely the best.

Hi Bill. Thank you. Yes that is a great point. Perfect for cats, if you like that kind of thing lol. The speed square thing seems to be something most people have not seen. I suspect it is more because they have mitre saws or gauges for the table saw and have never needed it. Im a bit of a bodger so this kind of thing was a normal for me early days. Fun thinking of the hacks. If the video encourages even one person to have a go then In would be very proud. ITs hard to call the builds beginner ones as many intermediates would enjoy them too. The amount of times I have nearly bought a biscuit cutter and now I am happy I didnt. Same with an angle grinder. Some tools keep calling but I worry that they would just sit there.

Thank you Richard. Much appreciated.

I love this idea. Saw it once then totally forgot about it. Thank you for the reminder. Appreciated

Hi Shaun. Thank you kindly bud. I got a little carried away and now have 7 mallets in the workshop. Not sure why really. Just found myself enjoying building them lol.

@@startmaking1 Hi Mark, 7 mallets that', s not bad, I've got 15 electric drills that is bad, Have a good week

Brilliant. One for each bit size. Take care.

Thank you. I really enjoyed making this one so there will be more on the way. Planning the next one to be a review video but have included a build in there to keep going along these lines.

Thank you kindly Jim.

Thank you Bill.

Thank you Anthony.

Hi Corey. Dont get me wrong, I really want to try and build something special. Not sure what, but as a beginner I found very little out there that was easily attainable and so I want to fill that void for a while first before really trying the complex stuff. The laser is something that people who are way better with design software then me can get wonderful things from, same as a 3d printer. But I am way too far behind that curve. So it will remain the silent helper in the workshop. A luxury tool. Good for making stuff to give away like the French cleats. Shame that it is so costly to send that kind of thing to the US. Or , actually more the paperwork that you have to fill in just to send over a piece of plywood. I feel like I am punishing half of my audience for living across the pond. Anyway. Thank you for the feedback as always. Take care.

Wow Kevin. Thank you. I was so worried that I had not made it feel attainable. I talked a lot. I appreciate the feedback .

I think I will try and branch out. But I need to be careful, I dont often try and sell a lot of items so I dont want to step into an area that I am not an expert. But I do have a few slightly harder builds that I want to attempt. I also love older tools. So much feel and history to them.

​The older tools seem to be made from better quality steel and stay sharp a lot longer than the modern ones.

This is what I find too.

Thank you Alex. Love the grain but it is a wood that breaks my heart with each tear out.

Incorporate...not "uncorrupted". Stupid auto correct

Thank you and wow, how simple. Great idea.

Thank you. I really enjoyed making this one so there will be more on the way. Planning the next one to be a review video but have included a build in there to keep going along these lines.

Hey Meat. hope you are well bud. Strange how he wont use the water bowl. I bet he is a big boy though with Mastiff mix. Would eat my poodle cross for a snack. Not sure if I love the dog more, or just needed to make the bowl holder video worthy lol. Bit of both maybe. You are spot on with the climb cuts. It would have made sense if I had not cut out 20 mins of me screwing the routing up by trying to take too much off. The climb cuts were to try and smooth out the area where the bit had made itself a deep trench. All in all mistakes were made. And lots. I am so happy that I included the hand tool bit. realised today that I have neglected that side of things as I am reaching more for the router and table saw. I would not call it progress more job dependent I guess. But I need to keep my eye in so to speak. I hope the shoulder is holding up and you are managing to get in the the workshop.Take care bud.

@@startmaking1 Thanks, the shoulder is slow going and is beginning to frustrate me a bit, but progress is being made. It lacks quite a bit of strength but the mobility is improving and there is much less pain. Still, I went to get some briquets into the barbecue over the weekend and I made it look like I was wrestling with a bag of kittens trying to pour them in. I knew what you were doing when you reversed directions with the router; I hope they weren't smart butt remarks but since your were aiming at beginners, I thought we might tell them what a climb cut was and to be careful whilst using the technique. As always, I think you're doing great and I enjoy watching your content. All the best.

Progress is progress bud. But I get it, slow progress is frustrating. I am glad the pain is down. That can be wearing in itself. Your timing on the router advice was so very apt. I did a climb cut yesterday and nearly lost my nose. Scared myself a little. Was not expecting it and will have to say something in the voice over as it was not a fun moment. And you are right. It bears reminding to people. PS I never take your remarks in any other way than you intention them. You are a good man. Take care bud.

@@startmaking1 Let's be safe. You may not be as attractive nose-less; plus, it'll scare the children. As always, Godspeed.

Thank you. I make too many mistakes not to show them lol.

Thank you Chris

Thank you. It has been a great addition. I have seen some impressive ones just made from 18mm ply. They have a panel on the top and one down the side. kind of like an L shape.

Thank you. You have highlighted everything that was important to me in this video. I appreciate it.

Thank you Brian. I really enjoyed making this one so there will be more on the way. Planning the next one to be a review video but have included a build in there to keep going along these lines.

hi Bud. I mis that shed so much. Was so simple. But as you say when it is small it is really hard to get organised. In the end my only solution was to have a smaller one close by filled with a lot of the stuff I didnt use or wasn't using at that tine. That was the only way I could keep the small area I had clear. Plus a lot of storage hacks like the French cleat. I appreciate you subbing and hope the videos are helpful. Some more than others lol.

@@startmaking1 That’s what I definitely need, a place to store my tools till I need them. It’s a nightmare having the table saw, bandsaw, mitre saw, planer, jointer, multi sander, drill press, and everything else all in the shed. I’ve been having to work outside on two saw horses and an old door. 😱

Wow I didnt have half of that in mine. Well done. No wonder it is feeling small.

Thank you Robert.

So very true. I love getting the most out of what I have.

This is true. Though I still catch myself forgetting when I am trying to remember to turn the camera on lol. I would love a scroll saw. They look so much fun.

Thank you too. It seems to be one of those areas where learning is pretty constant. I am still starting out so the learning is huge. and so much fun.

Thank you. Lovely comment. And happy building to you too bud.

Hopefully soon I will be on KZfaq as well! Keep an eye out for the name "Woodshop 76'"! I can't wait to make my own videos to share with everyone!!!💯😁

@@charitiekbyrd1 let me know when you get one posted. I look forward to watching.

@@startmaking1 will do, thanks

Thank you. Much appreciated. Good to know I am on the right track.

Soon to be 4 happy doggies. Tung oil is by far the easiest finish I have. Though I did have a moment when I forgot to wipe the last coat off and it got really tacky. Luckily I managed to get it back with white spirits and one last coat.

Brilliant. Thank you.

Ollie knows that you can do it!

😂👍

Thats really kind bud. And thank you for watching a few today.

Thank you Michael and thank you for the share.

@@startmaking1 no worries m8 anytime 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Welcome aboard. And thank you. Very much appreciated.

Thanks you., I will do my best.

Brilliant and thank you. Im sure they will come out great. There will be more to come. I have a list of things I want to make.

Thank you. Im glad that they are coming across well.

Thank you Bruce

Thank you Roger. I can definitely do a sharpening video. In the mean time there is an older one on the channel that includes the card scraper.

As for the bench. The wings are useless. I would just attach the side to the bench. No need to have it come off. The rest is working well. Annoyed as it put a router through the laminate today.

you are more than welcome. And thank you for watching them.

Thank you Richard. I really enjoyed making this one so there will be more on the way. Planning the next one to be a review video but have included a build in there to keep going along these lines.

Thank you very much.

Thank you. Much appreciated. I use mine for every project I can. It is still a little scary at times but the things you can do with it are brilliant.

@@startmaking1 I'll take a second look at your router table videos when I do. Thanks for the great content

Hi Peter. Great to hear from you. Blimey that is pricey. Though once you start framing, it will come along in leaps and bounds. Very exciting. New gear. Not new, no. But I did get carried away and bought a random auction lot of old tools. Big win, not to spoil the video. Not a lottery size one but for a tool enthusiast it was an exciting haul. Take care bud and I cant wait to hear how well the walls went up.

Thank you Chris. Much appreciated. It was a fun experiment and something I will use for me but unless I can do something interesting with it, it will remain as my silent helper.

Thank you Thomas. I have also struggled with finding hard wood. Honestly I dont think there are many cheaper options. Though there are a few wood recycling centres around if you are lucky enough to have one locally. I order mine from toolsandtimber.co.uk. They are not cheap but they offer planed to size so to speak . The sapele that I used for the 3 builds came to around £50. But I probably used around half of it.

Thank you. I have a timber merchant close by that sometimes has off cuts that I buy. That is where the sapele for the first build came from. It was not the best quality but the grain was lovely. But most of the hard wood I get, I order from toolsandtimber.co.uk . Not sure how it stacks up for price but the quality is good.

I use toolsandtimber.co.uk. they have been good for me so far.

Thank you. The original clear one I had came with the router. Then I had to buy another. I found it on Amazon. amzn.to/3Xh7KCb

Hi Tim. To be honest, my local timber merchant happened to have some sapele off cuts left over so I nabbed them but that is rare. They can do quite large boards but unless you have a fair amount of larger milling tools, they are hard to get to dimension. From the start when I had hardly any tools, I found toolsandtimber.co.uk. They do more custom cuts and though it is not cheap, like all hard woods, the delivery is great and quality fantastic.

Thank you. I get the wood from toolsandtimber.co.uk. They are very reliable. Not sure on price comparison but I like them. The boards for the different projects were all slightly different but on the whole they are 15mm thick, 120mm wide and I get 1220mm in length. Hope this helps.

@@startmaking1 It really does thank you. I've made a small workshop in a shed and I need to produce something to let me wife know its worth it. Haha.

Ah yes the tax.

Mine is not perfect but 3mm is a huge difference.

I have a magnet problem. My workshop will have its own magnetic field soon.

Thank you Mark. The stuff I used for the first build was really rough and I got it relatively cheap from my local timber yard but the nice stuff I always get from G and S timber. toolsandtimber.co.uk . Not sure where they sit price wise but the quality I have had is good and the speed of delivery is good too.

Thanks Mark, I was hoping this question was asked. Great video as always. Keep It pal 😎

That is a good point. And you are right. Though, for a job I did yesterday I needed to give a chisel a really good whack as I was carving some really hard wood and the longer handle came into its own with that. But 99% of the jobs I do it is tapping for sure.

lol, Im glad someone picked up on this.

Hi Steve. I have a timber merchant close by that sometimes has off cuts that I buy. That is where the sapele for the first build came from. It was not the best quality but the grain was lovely. But most of the hard wood I get, I order from toolsandtimber.co.uk . Not sure how it stacks up for price but the quality is good.

@@startmaking1 Thanks Mark

that could work really well. I would replace Philips head with hex so you can use an Allen key. Might make it easier with the L shape as I have a lot of cleats close to each other a screw driver from the side would be tricky.

Sorry bud but I learnt from yt. I've never known it as anything else.

You mean a “chair rail”?

I understand. And that is the reason that I used this one a week or so after release. The thumbnail stating that this was 3 beginner builds failed. tips and tricks failed. 15 more combinations failed. This one was a last resort and as it typical with YT it doubled the click through rate. I cannot turn views away because the it feels like click bait. Though , | will say that click bait is when the video does not deliver the details promised. I do show this trick and a fair amount more. We video makers need to get views or suddenly you are working for free. It is very annoying that negative and as you call them, clickbait titles do the best but all I can do is try the honest and plain ones first. But eventually I have to do what is best. As for subbing, that is an always will be your choice.

Um ok. Thank you.
