Thank you for making PPE your number 1 thing. A good friend of mine retired from where we worked, and was looking forward to spending his days doing woodworking. He had a big shop full of tools, too. Three years later I went to his funeral. He had died from pulmonary fibrosis caused by wood dust. I see way too many KZfaq videos where protection is either laughed at by pulling a t-shirt front up to loosely cover the nose and mouth, or ignored altogether. You're probably saving lives with this video!

I have a pair of 3.5 diopter hobby glasses with a 10X loupe hot glued onto the right lens. This gives me super close up clear sight without the hassle of the loupe constantly falling out of my eye socket. Mine also gets most use removing splinters (wood and metal - cutting with the OD of an end mill makes super fine slivers and they tend to be nasty and get infected). I also use it for sharpening chisels and plane irons to make sure I have no tiny nicks left in the edge. I keep promising myself one of those cheap as chips USB microscopes for the workshop. What I would really like to do is have a computer monitor mounted above the bench on a swivel so I could connect a microscope, or display drawings etc. One day...

While I'm sure for just large wood particles, using it for longer than rated times will be fine. However, it looks like this guy practically never changes his filters, which is a little alarming considering he's preaching the importance of using PPE.

I'm 72 and have been doing cabinets since my Dad started me in the shop at 13 years old and something I've yet to see is a video about how to true a carpenters square. That would be a great video for you to share with the folks. How to realign layout tools. Perhaps you could include how to layout ovals with a square. I find most people have no clue what a good carpenter square will do. THANKYOU I look forward to what you do next. God bless and keep well.

Thai design is much easier and quicker.

I'm in the UK, and 70, so I grew up with 'Imperial' weights and measures, 240 pennies to £1 and °F. Calculations across those ill-matched scales were hard work! Then, in the 70s, we went over to the metric system, plus 100p to £1, and °C. Now, _everything_ was 'base 10' so all calculations became a breeze! The US stuck to our illogical, ancient units, even adding a US-only gallon and tonne. America, why not take the plunge, join the rest of the world, and greatly simplify your lives?

a dial caliper that reads in fractional and decimal is way better than a digital caliper. With digital you get 65/128, Like what is that. but a dial caliper will read out just a little over 1/2. good enough for most wood work. but you still have the decimal reading if you need to get it to the thousanth, Starrett makes a good one. worth the money. but i am sure some foreign makers make them as well. If you use a lot of fractional measurements. absolutely go for a dial caliper.

Re: squares You should really get a high quality one (or a set) at some point once you upgrade. Especially the really cheap ones are often not 100% square. Is that a big deal for beginners? It depends.maybe not. But it will deffo be once you progress. Oh, and handle them with care. Throwing and tossing them back and forth can damage them so they are no longer square. While working on a project, always stick to one square/ruler/other measuring implement. That way if any measuring inaccuracies creep in through a tool that is somewhat off, at you are at least consistently off and less likely to run into fitment issues. Using, say, 2 or 3 different measuring tapes on a complex project might want to make you tear your hair out, come assembly time.

Best cheap tool everyone should have is a Belaz 75710. Perfect for small jobs and one of the cheapest on the market. It is especially recommended for DIYer’s. Also the Bagger 293 Bucket Wheel Excavator. And any tunnel boring machine. A P&H L-2350 Loader won’t break the bank either. If you don’t have all of these in your shop, you’re pretty much a failure, since they are essential and the bare minimum for a shop.

I use the mask as my normal mask for going out and about (no digging my glasses like others) as well as soot remediation, dusting, painting, drywall - anything where particulates are in the air. They have a version that also filters out smells, which is pretty cool. The airflow is so good, I could run or sleep in it.
