Being a bit dyslexic, I measure thrice, cut twice and discard because I built the whole thing backwards.

I have brothers out there. There is only 1 thing I make in my workshop that I make perfect every single time........sawdust

I don’t call it making a mistake. I call it cutting the perfect sized board for a future project.

THIS!

This is the most concise, no nonsense, perfect tips for getting started woodworking. Been at it for 30 yrs and this breaks down all the basics that takes experience to learn. Love the breakdown, love your organized shop, and love the no BS presentation. Thank you for taking the time to share. That was one heck of a kickback, hope that one never actually happens!

Came to say this - this was so concise and well worded. Super charismatic overall too, it was entertaining the whole time!

Rarely have I come across a video such as this. It is 13:19 long, not a second wasted, not a word too many. Wonderful!

Very realistic reenactment of a kickback in the face :)

Thanks for sharing

I'm an experienced woodworker but I still loved this video. You are an amazing presenter. Keep up the great work.

One of the best wood working videos I've ever seen, thank you.

It never hurts to go over the basics no matter how long you have been woodworking. Nice Video Thank you Marie.

The dramatic reenactment of the kickback effect was the most compelling argument for both the need for safety in the workshop and for the support of the arts! Bravo! ❤

This is the most realistic for beginners I’ve seen. I watch tips and tricks all the time, but I’m not a beginner by any means. Most videos like this I come across are too advanced and don’t explain the basics. There’s a couple tips in here that I haven’t seen in any video I’ve ever watched so great work.

You hit the nail right on the head. Very important & essential precautions , especially safety matters . Thanks

Those were really good tips for beginners. I remember building some drawer fronts for the first time and didn’t consider the blade kerf and had some measurements I couldn’t figure out lol. It all worked out but it’s something new wood workers would never think of, I know I didn’t at the time. Thanks for the video.

I've found this simple rule for router direction easy to remember: With your right hand, point your thumb at the edge, and your forefinger will point the way you should move the router Love your videos--thank you! You do a great job of balancing being succinct with providing us with just the right amount of information. Plus, you explain in a way that most everyone can understand. Lastly, you use tools that most of us can afford 👍

The thumb forefinger is the bomb. Thanks

This would be so helpful for beginners and a good refresher for more experienced woodworkers! Thanks for sharing. I always enjoy your video's!!!

I know it's not the topic du jour, but I like the simplicity and functionality of your shop organization. A tidy shop is a safe and productive shop.

A well presented quick list of all the mistakes and misconceptions a newbie will encounter. Save yourself 1-2 years of headaches and take notes people, this is gold!

Excellent refresher on some of the items we take for granted. Thank you!

Thank you! Everything you said is very important for me and for every beginner carpenter. I really found a lot of information in this video, which I could not find elsewhere.

that's right, very concise and not alot of extra talk. Love it as i am new and trying to learn more about different woodworking. Thank you and keep it coming.

Great video. I like the clear presentation with not too many over the top moves and edits. Thank you, very useful

Very informative! I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone breakdown softwood and hardwood, as well as, sanding. Like you just did. Good job 👍

Great summary. Love your direct and clear presentation style.

Always love your videos! This one is info packed! Thanks!

This is a must see video for all beginner woodworkers!

Straightforward advice from someone you can tell knows what they're talking about. Perfect.

Thank you for being straight to the point. The humour's always a welcomed touch. 👍

Good basic reminders even for those of us that have been doing it for awhile! Thanks Marie.

One of the most useful videos I've run across in a long time. Especially calculating board feet and the 50% rule on sandpaper. Thank you!

This is fantastic. You've got a very clear and concise presentatiion and you can see taht you have good skill and experience. I work in Metric, but every point you made here is still applicable. Great work.

This is hands down the best guide I've ever seen thank you so much!

Great summary of a _LOT_ of basics, saving a whole bunch of nerves ... and projects! 🏆🙏🏻

Thanks a bunch, Marie! Really valuable tips! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Excellent tips and info. And thanks for the encouragement to get a respirator.

Your videos are always full of good information, I love the way you share the details

Fantastic video. It brought me back when I worked in a woodshop in the 1980’s. I particularly enjoyed the security part. Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the refresher course, much of which I knew but it is never something to take for granted. Nice job.

Wow!!! I’m just starting with woodworking and have been watching tons of KZread videos tiger started. Yours is the first one to explain any of these basics. Thank you so much!!!

excellent tips for beginner woodworkers! thanks

Really great work. You explain things so well. Thank you.

This is awesome for beginners, thank you! I'm sure this would make a great serie if you ever had more basic tips like these :)

You're videos provide the most value in the least amount of time! I love it!

Concise, clear, straight to the point, without narcissistic and unrelated story telling bla bla... As a beginner (and for my own taste+needs), I highly value such tutorials. Thank you very much, subscribed.

This has been such a helpful video for someone who is brand new to woodworking, and I appreciate all the time and effort you took to make this really informative video.

Oh my god, the storage of your sandpaper and drills are so satisfying. As a new woodworker, I appreciate your knowledge

Thank you for this video. Your channel just became one of my favorites! ❤

been doin this for many years and is great to have a refresher, and you explain it so very well, also i am almost finished makin 2 of your cook book holders, they are goin to look great, thank you so much

So incredibly helpful; thank you!

Great video and well explained!

Thank you for this video. Not only did I learn a few new things but I plan on sharing it with my son and daughters who will definitely benefit from your advice. Cheers!

I have watched hundreds of woodworking videos and this is the first I've seen that explains about calculating the board feet so easily. Also haven't heard about the closed grain and open grain before. Thanks much. Subscribed!

There are a few videos showing how open grained oak is, especially red oak. I was personally quite amazed by this one: watch?v=L6t2AZubF8U

Great tips! Very clearly presented! Well done!

Thank you for the information. I’m new to woodworking so I found the info very helpful

Excellent job. It always helps to remind people of the right and wrong way of doing things

All good tips and "rules". Like your "dramatic effects". Keep'em coming! !! !!!

I just finished my first year cabinetmaker apprenticeship in Calgary and this video is amazing for beginners like myself. Awesome to see that you included board feet as well! Cheers.

I didn't learn anything new, but I must say I'm very impressed by your common sense tips. Keep up the great work.

Probably the most informative, best beginner video ive ever seen. You have a talent for these videos!

All the basics I needed to know when I started woodworking in just 13 minutes. Plus, I've been struggling with cross cutting using mitre saw and circular saw due to not being sure where to place the blade. Now I know! How much frustration this will save me from now on.

Thank you for taking the time to produce this.

Excellent summary!

Excellent summary. Learned some good rules and had some other rules confirmed!

Thank you. Those tips were concise, articulated clearly and will serve me well. Thank you

I'm teaching my daughter and this is going to be very handy! TX!

GREAT video. When you talked you were clear and clear understandable. You shared great info and I’m going to look for more of your videos.

Good video. Always good to refresh yourself on the basics. Thanks!

Hi, I'm from Costa Rica. This type of tips teaches us really good. Thank you for those videos!

Thank you, I’m a beginner and I appreciate the depth and detail.

Thanks. U are the best. U take the guess work out of the basics. Also u are great teacher.

Excellent video, many good tips, Thanks.

I learned most of this the hard way over the last couple years… would have loved to have this video when I started. Keep it up 👍

Great tips! Thank you, I find your channel to be full of really good and relevant info.

Very thorough and helpful tips! I've been amateur woodworking for several years and a lot of these tips were either new to me or clarified. Thanks!

Great video. I'm glad you put "Wood Moves" as #1. And I always appreciate your wise words on safety and PPE. Just as an interesting side note, larch (aka tamarack) is classified as a softwood but is used for end-grain cutting boards. But that's really getting into the weeds. Your point is 100% valid - don't use soft woods for cutting boards.

Another Side Note: Red Oak is one of the few Open grain Oak, Most Western Europe Oak got closed grain, wh, you could use them AS cutting Boards and for Barrels etc.

What a great video! Very helpful with quick to the point tips.

Thanks for this. I think I knew your tips already, but I really loved your broom bristle analogy to demonstrate the rip v. cross cut grain. Also, there's never any harm in being reminded!

Great video, thank you for sharing! I had no idea about the board feet, it makes so much sense.

Yep. I’m a newbie to a lot of this. This is the kind of videos I have been looking for. Thanks

OK dokey....SUBSCRIBED. No nonsense and quality production. Bravo. I am about to begin my personal journey in to the art of woodmaking. Your information is gold. Need all the tips and guidance I can get.

Pretty nice video. It will help a lot of people who are just starting...

I’m a newbie to woodworking and your video has taught me a lot! 🔥🔥🔥🙌🏾💯

Excellent. I enjoy and respect a talented teacher.

Great video for beginners, thank you!

This is absolutely brilliant. And I'm here watching it never having worked on any wood before

Thanks Marie a very useful video to show. Take Care and Stay Safe, Barry (UK)

Thank you for taking the time to share, I learnt some new tips and loved your sandpaper holder 👍, you got a new sub from Australia 🇦🇺

Thanks for explaining the method to calculate board feet. Any other person who talked about that just glanced over it, or talked over my head. So thank you

Da best woodworking basics to the point video I've seen so far

Thank you. Your video was great👍🏻

Thank you. I appreciate you!

Very helpful info.... thank you.

Great tips, tricks, reminders, & visualizations (especially the broom.) Your kickback simulation deserves an Oscar nomination :) !

Thank you! What a great video!

Love it! Ideas for tips 16-30 :) * When to sharpen, what can be sharpened and when to replace blunt instruments * Keeping tools in pristine condition * When cheaper plastic tools are ok, and when they aren't (also, steel vs aluminium) * Getting the best life out of batteries (and avoiding battery hell picking too many brands) * Thoughts on really hard timbers (aka spare a thought for we Aussies using Eucalypts or even our Cypress Pine, Callitris columellaris) * Cost effective finishing with mineral based compounds (aka I'm sick of cleaning up with turps or thinners)

Thank you. Very helpful!

Awesome video. Learnt so much, especially about the measuring and cutting. Thank You!

That was amazing thank you very much, plenty of wise knowledge

Nice review. Goes on the " must watch list" for annual woodworker's training list

The first video I saw of yours was the 'are more expensive drills worth it?' video. I had to upgrade to a 18v from my beloved 12v makita and that video helped me. I picked milwaukee electric and I see you kept those once you tried them. I don't blame you. They are next level. I love using them.

Good video, even though I have been woodworking for a long time the tips were a good reminder. Thanks once again.

How I love the metric system 🙂Thanks for yet another fine video!
