LOL... that's the best. Thank you!

My first thought after reading the first line of this comment: 🎶"this is just a tribute" 🎶 😂

What most people will never know is that in the real life situation, it was you, @fiveduckstudio and @scottreynoldsbuilder that made me build it again.

My heart broke a little when I saw him realize that.

i once made a workout bench with a flip up backrest, i finished it, my girlfriend and i both took took a look at it, went "oh no, its backwards!" (before i go on, i want to at least make it known that this was at the end of a very long day) i took it apart, put it back together as what i thought was no longer backwards.. and realized i had it right the first time, and NOW it was backwards. Thankfully it was a very function over fashion type deal, held together with screws and stuff, but it still sucked, and i felt reeeeeal dumb lmao

@@svinkuk2652 now that's funny 🤣

A man after my own heart.

@@worstworkshop Great video, by the way. I appreciate your humor! Oh, and the other thing I do in my spare time (my wife would confirm this) is organize/rearrange the garage to find places to store all of the projects in progress.

This comment made my night. It’s refreshing to hear that someone else shares my passion for starting projects. LMAO.

@@daveb7408 is that not what everyone does??? first day of any project. Tidy and rearrange the shop!

"Finish" You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means.

Can't believe I talked him into doing that. :)

Hes a really cool guy. Im on his message board and hes pretty good about chatting on occasion.

There are no mistakes, only happy accidents ;-)

Projects and never finished you just reaching a point where you say, "that's enough! "

Sometimes a mistake to a professional is a non issue to the customer.

No one's stopping you from tearing that page out. :D

@@worstworkshop 🤣

They don't sell them anymore! Maybe I'll make some.

@@worstworkshop Please do!!! You know I work with both my daughters in the shop when I can get them in there!

Thank you, Tom. Thanks for all your help pulling it together.

@@worstworkshopone of the best videos by far. The Rocky montage is so good. Love it. Almost fell off my chair laughing when you build it backwards 😂😂😂

If you've watched enough movies from the eighties, you know a good montage can accomplish anything.

HA! "Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall."

Thanks! Although "good work" may be a stretch. :)

Thank you! 😊

Aww that's awesome! Thanks.

Now you know! I'm trying to get faster at producing videos. I work hard on them though.

Thanks! I'm really glad you enjoyed it.

You can always create extra accounts. Glad you liked it, and thanks!

Isn't that always how it goes? :)

It will likely last much longer, though. Whether you want it to, or not. ;)

Thank you so much! I'm glad I'm not alone.

Thanks, Cameron! Really enjoyed your latest video.

We've all been there. You'll get it though. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks, Doug! No promises...

Thanks! Believe it or not, I did. It's just that so much time passed between drawing and building that second one that I'd forgotten what I did.

What’s this drawing thing of which you write?

Deal! Glad you enjoyed it.

Made it worth it for me too!

You're obviously a real woodworker. It's happened to everyone. To be fair, I wanted to give up more than once.

Thank you. Rex was amazing@

Well said!

The more I think about that design, the more I hate it. You can't stand on the top rung anyway, which means it's just the same as standing on a chair!

Only way I roll, homie.

Thank you. Yeah, Rex is an even better guy than most people realize. It was so much fun getting to interact with him in pulling this together.

@@worstworkshop BTW, the kickback happened because you removed your stabilizing grip before the cut was complete. The wood must stay absolutely stable throughout the entire cut. Preferably with a push device, not your hand! Glad there wasn't pain & physical damage to show in this video.

It was that, the lack of a riving knife or splitter, and the fact that I casually pushed it at an angle. Kickback happens to everyone at some point. We just have to learn from our mistakes when it does, hopefully with fingers intact.

@@worstworkshop Didn't notice the other factors. It would be good teaching for viewers to point out those things, maybe in a short.

That's a great idea.!

Thanks for watching, and for letting me know I'm not alone!

Anyone that doesn't make mistakes doesn't make anything else either.

Thanks a lot! I can't believe I talked him into doing it, to be honest.

They can change your life in an instant. Thanks for pointing me to your channel too, even though I'm terrified of learning CNC stuff! (But still want to.)

Glad you enjoyed it!

That's deep.

What a kind thing to do! Thank you. We will.

Thanks a bunch. I'm a dad, and I think comedian is part of the job description. Honestly, my dad had almost forgotten he asked for it, but I think he'll get a kick out of the video. Thanks for watching!

Good technique pays off. He was standing to the side and had his hand braced on the fence. But yeah, i'd go ahead and build/install that riving knife.

@@jeremiahbullfrog9288 I absolutely agree! Good technique and a mind for safety will always be beneficial in the end.

Well, the positive part is that you have at least 9 more years to get it done! 😁

OH SNAP!!

@@jodilea144 I wish my wife saw it that way. LoL.

@@powrfwd37 😁

You speak my language

I wondered if anybody would!

Glad you enjoyed it!

People like you make the long struggle worth it. Thanks!

Thanks, Scott!

You're way smarter than me.

not really LMAO

Thanks, Jason!

You never were! Embrace the suck. 😊

Thanks for watching, Danny!

@@worstworkshop, my pleasure. I have watched lots of your content and I like it, not only because of the information, but because of the light tone you use, and the great dad jokes, of course! 🤣

Rex is awesome!

Rex is incredible. Thanks for watching!

@@worstworkshop are you in DFW area? I'm south in Mansfield area :)

@@jackieswoodworks North of Fort Worth.

@@worstworkshopSweet! Hi neighbor :)

No, thank you! I'm not a great woodworker, but I also make sure to show things others probably wouldn't.

Thanks for watching it! Glue-ups stress me out every time.

Thanks!

Noooooooo!!!!!!!!!

Glad to hear it! Thanks for the sub!!

Thank you, Steven. I think the only people that don't relate are those that haven't spent a lot of time in the shop.

💯

Glad you enjoyed that!

Don't we all? Thanks for your comment!

Thanks so much!

You are a wise man.

Glad you enjoyed that!

A Sawstop is an amazing, and very costly, machine but it is not safe, just a little less risky if you don't know how to use a table saw. A friend of mine, a professional woodworker, had a serious hand injury that with a Sawstop would not have happened, but an other friend, also professional, had a big splinter detaching from the wood he was cutting, that splinter penetrated a plywood panel to a depth of about one inch, if he wourd had been placed behind the blade that splinter could had severed his aorta killing him or cause some other serious injury to the abdomen or chest, A Sawstop would not had saved him like does not save if the wood you are cutting is projected against you by a kickback. The most important thing when using the table saw is the knowledge of the proper procedures to operate it then if someone can afford it why not a Sawstop? But the correct procedures come first. About the kickback shown in the video it is due to a wrong use of the push stick that was near the fence and not behind the cut line, to have it happen if you use the push stick like that is only a matter of time, but is almost shure that it will happen sooner or later. People that ignore such basic safety procedures, being them KZfaqrs or not, SHOULD ABSOLUTELY AVOID USING THE TABLE SAW and the shaper that are the most dangerous woodworking machines until they have researched, plenty of sources on YT, woodworking blogs and forums, how to safely operate such machines. Woodworking involves a certain risk factor, we can only mitigate it, even a hand chisel can cause a serious injury, but shaper and table saw are particularly risky as they have powerful motors and the way they operate promotes kick back, a little hobby table saw is way more dangerous of a big professional band saw.

That is awesome!!

Thank you so much! I bet La Grange is a nice place to live. I have a mind to visit there sometime.

I appreciate it! Thanks for sharing that story too.

That means a lot to me. Thank you!

Thanks a lot! I bet it makes a great plant stand. 😄

You're not old enough to know that reference! :)

Embrace the suck, my friend!

I'm a huge Rex Krueger fan. Can't believe I talked him into that!

Thank you so much! Believe it or not, I once spent seven years trying to build a guitar. I ruined so much wood!

Thanks a lot, Mark. If you ever figure out the secret, let me know.

@@worstworkshop I think if you take that pulley as far as you can towards the blade and then really crank down on the set screw as tight as you can without stripping the threads, it will help. I'd also make sure that you have as close to a straight line as possible between the pulley on the motor and the pulley on the blade shaft. I think it was the slight angle I had that was making the belt pull the pulley loose on the shaft. When I moved the motor, it did seem to help quite a bit and so far, it is holding. I've managed to build an end table and a small fly box with it since then, and it hasn't come loose since I did that. They were both made from mahogany, so that should be a reasonable test.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks a lot!

That's very kind of you! Let me offer a tip, as someone who's been terrible at woodworking for long time. Enjoy it. Work slowly. And try to live vicariously through great woodworkers like Rex Krueger!

Believe it or not, I did sketch it. If you think about it, by the time I built the backwards one I had done a sketch and a scale build. Somehow I still messed it up.

@@worstworkshop It happens

I had to look that up, but thanks!

Thank you so much, Melody! I like to refer to projects "in the most optimistic state," which is basically when I'm staring at a pile of materials I just bought.

Me before a project: Plans? I don't need no stinkin' plans!

Not even close! We all screw up. Be able to laugh at yourself is an important woodworking skill nobody talks about. :)

Thanks! I'm sure there's years of suck in my future.

Ha! I think I'm gonna leave the viral builds to John Malecki for a while. Thanks!

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks.

It was so cool of him to do that

Thank you! Keep it up. You'll still make mistakes, but you get better at fixing them.

Rex is pretty incredible!

I did too!

Thank you. It's so dumb.

Thanks!

I once spent seven years trying to successfully build an electric guitar. My fake business tag was "Turning the world's finest woods into sawdust." Thanks for your comment. It means a lot.

The beauty of wood is that it burns so nicely. You can really dispose of the evidence because of that fact.

@@1pcfred lol... that got me!

Thanks for saying that!

@@worstworkshop you're welcome. Sorry it turned out to be not worth it in the end. Dang tik toks

That's the advice we all need from time to time.

Thank you very much!
