Facebook reporting sucks. I tried reporting the scams but I only get a dropdown of reasons why. There’s no place for me to explain why they are scams. Frustrating.

You're demonstration of the corner clamps was even more hilarious then watching the commercial where they were using other clamps... OMG... I have never laughed so hard.

You could use the fan to cool off the branding iron so you don’t burn the table cloth 😂

I've ordered from Gearhart a couple times. Solid product. Best of all, they actually respond to customer service questions quickly, and the proof is a nice touch. Long ago when I ordered my first Iron they actually sent a burned proof on a piece of veneer.

The worst part about this, is that Facebook doesn't even care, you don't even have a proper way to report scams like this. Absolutely infuriating!

I think you should create a very nice sign for a Domino Festool with a place to mount that fan, then hang it on your wall as a reminder to all us "fans" to watch out for Facebook scams! Haha

I go to Hong Kong all the time. I have a friend there that studies martial arts. One time she showed me how to fight with a fan. Now you'll be able to defend yourself with your fan.

I like how your 'censoring' beeps are so far out of sync! Thanks for falling for these scams, so we don't have to! :D

Make this a series! I know it's a waste of money sometime but it does help. Thanks for doing this!

The bleep long after the curse is genius 😂 Also, i know you've been waiting for an excuse to buy that toolbox. You were talking about it on the podcast!

I looked into the ueez thing a couple months back. My final red flag was when I realized most of the reviews on the site were posted before the domain was registered... but the fact that I was checking domain reg dates probably should have been the first red flag.

Those censor beeps being so out of sync had me laughing so hard on the train into work. 🤣 Thanks for taking one for the team and getting scammed.

I bought a table top ice maker once from Facebook ad. 12 weeks later I got a pair of Dollar Tree sunglasses.

Have you thought about doing a chargeback through your credit card on the "mortising tool"? While I completely understand that $50 is just the cost of video production would still be nice to see it pulled out of the pockets of the scammers. Too many chargebacks and VIsa / Mastercard will cut them off as well as a bonus. If/when you get it back maybe throw it at some cause that is meaningful to you just as a talking point if you do another of these videos.

I have the branding iron, takes 5 minutes to heat up with propane, its heavy and my art work on it was very well done. Wish Id gotten the electric one. I have one of your books, well worth the money. I'm real skeptical of things advertised on Facebook. Glad you exposed the scams!

The delayed beeps are hilarious and the fact that the delay gets further and further away makes it better

This video was worth the longer format! Thanks for wasting your money so I didn’t have to! 😂 I hope by purchasing all of this stuff, you continue to get more ads to fuel another video of similar format. Cheers!

Toyo's marketing always looked impeccable to me, now I really want one for Christmas!

I freaking love Carson clamps they have come in handy more times than I can count

The only way Ted's woodworking will go away is a class action lawsuit against clickbank

Thanks for donating your hard earned $$ to help save me from paying more stupid tax! I nearly bought those Carson clamps thinking they would make clamping my projects faster, they obviously didn’t stand a chance against the spring clamps and plastic squares.

Man just when I thought my respect for your impeccable taste has plateaued I find out you share my opinion about Drew being simply the best! Amazing work. Please do more of these (if you enjoy making them of course).

I thought about ordering from Make Something but wasn’t sure if it was a scam. (Lol) I just bought 2 books I hope I get more than a lovely fan.

When I decided to start woodworking I set up my facebook page for it before ever mentioning what I was doing. Not an hour later I got bombarded with Ted's plans but thankfully never bought it. The fan should be in front of teds & the woodpecker rip-offs for the simple fact you can actually use & trust the fan.

You should definitely check those Ted's Woodworking PDFs to see if any of your plans are in there.

You struggled more with those spring corner clamps than without that was better than the add and I had my fingers crossed on the mortise jig I new it was a scam but I was hoping it wasn’t it looks like a great jig. As always thanks for a great laugh one of my favourite channels.

Great video! I always wonder what those plans are like - I write for a few woodworking magazines and now I'm wondering if some of my articles are in there! Glad you bought the crap so we didn't have to!

Dude, the Gearheart electric branding irons are totally worth the extra spend. I bought one and loved it so much that I bought a second one.

It's a special day when you can be with someone discovering Toyo for the first time. Before you know it you'll be moving on to Koken and then Nepros. Enjoy these days they grow up so quick!

i got a 4 pack of those clamps at the thrift store for like $3 and i'm happy with them at that price

"If you know me, you know I like a nice box." True words my man. True words.

I love your channel, and the Making It podcast. And I just wanted to say, that This motion pictures very help’ll me.

Thanks for sharing the "news" with us. I agree with Eddie Espinosa, use the fan to cool the branding iron spare the table cloth. Maybe Festool can incorporate the "fan" into their next Domino, you never know.

😂😂 thanks for doing this one, love the disappointment in the scams, even though you knew it was one. 🤣🤣 I would however take that torch to your “ mortising jig” 😂😂

I recognize that Toyo brand. I think you mentioned them as an inspiration for your toolbox build a few months back. Anyway, thanks for taking the heat so we don't have to. Protect ya neck!

Every time you said "mortising tool" while holding up the fan, that was a definite LOL on my end.

I got a set of those corner clamps as a Christmas gift one year and ended up spending more time and energy trying to use them than it was worth lol. Felt the same way you did

“They ain’t got no clamps” 😂 My new favorite channel

We have the Gearheart branding iron. I usually put it on the stove for 10 minutes.

"If you know me, you know I like a nice box". Don't we all.

You had me cracking up! Tell your Grandad Hi. Hope he is doing well. Pray for him daily. He is surely leaving a lasting legacy. My grandkids are learning recipes their great great great grandmother taught me.

I block so many ads on Facebook. Usually I just select irrelevant for the reason. But when a Pizza Hut ad came up I selected too personal 😂

Not sure where this will fall in your own personal view of your catalogue of vids- but man, somehow this was way up there for me 🤣. Golden my dude.

I actually fell for teds woodworking a few years ago. Man if I needed to build a computer desk that would fit a huge monitor or a tv console from the 80’s I’d be golden… I think some of the plans were typed out on a typewriter lol. I’ll buy your plans any day. Thanks for the video. PS love your books. When does the next one come out.

I love those corner clamps. I have several of them. Work great for box building.

Dude, I love these real KZfaqy videos that you and John Malecki are doing! If anybody has any more videos kind of like this from other creators, I'd love to see them.

This is different from your normal videos but it was very entertaining! I would love to see more vids like this

Two things. The late beeps for language are the best! I also bought something from a sketch website in the far east, and within one month, my bank flagged my card as being on the dark web. I did, however, receive the items I bought. 😁

I’ve got a gearhart brand. Love it. Made a cradle to hold it and heat it with my propane torch. I lay it on a scrap tile to cool.

The "censorship" errors were TERRIFIC!!! Thanks for "falling" for those scams. You read into that crap like I do... been close to falling for b.s. a few times before. Thanks for your time

I do use clamps like those, and they're not bad. They do a good job. But you have to get used to them. It's always weird a bit at first, as you saw for yourself. They seem complicated & yes the center moves "but it's suppose to be a bit stiff, a bit hard to move" in case you have a corner that is NOT 45 degrees. But when you get used to em & the way they work best. They're pretty cool little clamps. They work especially well if you work on boxes, shelves, drawers etc. Small stuff. You just need to get the hang of em.

I love that the beep happens longer and longer after the 'bad word'.

I have a few of those aluminum corner clamps from banggood, all are perfectly square. They work quite well for people who refuse to pay woodpecker prices, or can't swing it. Come August that fan might be a lot more useful.

By far the best parts of this video are the well timed bleeps. LOL

It’s unfortunate, but these scamming companies probably make more money on people who forget they ordered something than they would ever have to refund. 😢 Thanks for this fun video, David! 🎉 glad some of these are legit!

The bleeps are amazing 😂😂😂 my type of humour, funniest video I've seen for a long time. I know that's not the point of the video, but it has really got me 😂😂 thank you!

I have the electric branding iron from Gearhart. Great quality. Been using it for years. I recommend it. Better than having an open flame in your shop.

Excellent video!! So funny. Love the beeps. You're videos are so much fun, the new direction with your attitude and throwing stuff around is so entertaining

Later that day David was on the phone: "Yes, I'd like to report suspicious activity on my credit card."

I purchased Ted's Woodworking Plans. The only thing I ever made out of the plans was a Japanese Folding Fan. 🤣🤣🤣

Toyo and Trusco both make some nice small Japanese tool boxes.

Hilarious that the bleeps got farther away. This was awesome, good stuff!

My wife bought a pair of Nike’s off a website once and when they showed up they were some dollar store cheap flip flops 😂

I got scammed a couple of years ago buying a 6 in 1 drill from a Facebook/Instagram ad. I paid 40 bucks and received an oriental cloth hankie that had a $5 tag like you'd use at a yard sale. 😂

Those clamps are usable as a quick third hand so you can pin nail a box together. Not usable as a clamp but as a helper since they can be used with one hand. A pain to use on thick material. 12mm sheet is fine. Mine are made by Wolfcraft.

I have two Gearheart irons, drill press electric models in aluminum. They’re amazing. Everyone who sees them thinks they were done with a laser. The aluminum heats faster and the drill press mount has a spring system sp it gimbles for perfectly flat branding.

Those corner clamps are really helpful for framing, but it was entertaining to watch you trying to figure it out lol

I get the temptation to open a Facebook shop just for you!

I laughed so hard at this. Thanks for looking out for our necks. 😂

Love the beeps. So well-placed.

I love that you bleeped "ridiculous" and not the F bomb HAHAHA

Big fan of gear heart. We have their electric brand. Takes a while to heat up, but gets super hot.

That fan reminded of last summer when I ordered a tool from a website and got a silk scarf.

Thank you! I loved this! I laughed so hard my glasses got blurry from the tears! Great video!

I actually just saw an ad for one of those Carson clamps while watching your video lol

I constantly get ads for the woodworkers Guild of America. Apparently you get a minimum charge it first and then they automatically renew you at an exorbitant rate.

Nice! Patent pending means you’ve sent in the paperwork…..doesn’t guarantee approval(which must be why the woodpeckers still just have pat.pending)…..and ONLY covers US territories……but a common way to TRY and scare other competitors away……😅 BTW, Toyo has a market cap of 258 billion😎

the slide on the corner clamp is ''in theorie'' used for dissimilar thickness usage. For the few times it actually happens, I really wished it wouldn't be doing that!

If he said "nice box" one more time, YT was gonna demonetize this vid.

I ordered a bosch dual bevel miter saw off a site I knew was a scam, but they took Paypal so I know I'd be able to dispute it. After about 3 months and reversed Paypal charges, I got the sweetest pair of Ray Ban knockoffs

Glad to see Drew's formula applied to woodworking! The bleeps just killed me, especially "fucking ri*beep*ulous!" - comedy perfection to bleep out "dic" instead of "fuck". :) Can't have the kids talking about wieners!

Pinterest is also full of these adds. Including the woodpecker branded tools, which then take you to a non woodpecker store. Banggood also do some of these things, like the corner squares and clamps. good value too.

On the Woodpeckers ripoff corner clamps, I actually have that exact set that I bought on Amazon for a fair bit less than you ended up paying. I knew what size they were because the Amazon listing seemed much more accurate and less of a scam. Mine are perfectly square on the outside edge so they work well for holding together small boxes if I'm going to pin nail them. They pale in quality to the Woodpeckers ones, but I think I only paid like $8 for four of them, so I was satisfied with them.

There needs to be a follow up video on how many of these ads popped up on your viewers’ various social medias just because we watched this video 😂

I have two of those corner clamps, different brand but same style. They are a pain in the ass to use. The sliding thing, check, the flimsiness and the fact that they're just useless if you're trying to hold two pieces of wood at 90 degrees.

You and I had the same opinion of the Carson corner clamps. I bought a set and after the first attempt at using them tossed them in the junk tool box. They are so hard to compress and don't go over about 3/4". I don't recommend them at all. As for the sliding piece, I assume that it is supposed to be self-centering but I don't think so. Thanks for backing up my thoughts.

I always use a prepaid debit card when purchasing from unknown websites. They may scam me out of my money for the item but they won’t get my financial information

I have some version of the Carson clamp, they are pretty handy. Those things are white-labeled and marketed as THE MUST HAVE TOOL, but such easy scambait.

KZfaq algorithm hit me with a doubly whammy because I love and watch Drew Gooden videos AND I'm a carpenter.

I was looking to buy a welder and out of curiosity I looked on Facebook marketplace and was extremely surprised when I saw not only a welder that will laser weld, laser rust remover, mig and tig weld and was a plasma cutter for £59 if you add two zeros you could get a laser welder or a laser rust remover. When you look at the Facebook Page it said that they accepted PayPal but if you went to the payment page there is no mention of PayPal they just want your credit or debit card details. It’s very obviously is a scam if anyone gives their card details to them must have more money than sense. Or they just like to help someone empty their bank account. I think that Facebook should take responsibly for these adds and protect their users from these scumbags.

Have a set of the corner clamps like those. Use then for small picture frames and they work great, anything bigger there are better options. Also didn't even pay that much for mine from amazon.

I have a 4 piece set of the knockoff woodpecker corner clamps, and they work great. For $23 vs $217 it's a no brainer. Mine are square.... They are much smaller than woodpeckers, but I didn't know if they had different sizes to pick from when I ordered.

Love the mis timed bleep 😂😂 Correction…. Bleeps 😂

I think "Ted's Woodworking" is purchased best while intoxicated! 🤣🤣

I got suckered into the teds plans about 10yrs ago. Hard lesson learned with that.

Bandsaw and kitchen tools books are amazing. A must have. You forgot to mention the cutting board book.

bleeping well after you swear had gotta be your new thing! Had me in stitches lol. And Ted's Woodworking can suck a fat one - I get ads for that crap all the time 😂

Teds Woodworking is one of the largest affiliate programs out there, 1000s of affiliates. The projects are just a compilation of projects from old woodworking books and internet.

I love how you bleeped out the word ridiculous instead of f@%$ing!

I'm so glad you did this. Also, as soon as I click on your videos I automatically click like.
