If your looking to buy used battery power tools check to make sure the company is still selling that style of battery and that you can find them at a reasonable price. Batteries don’t last forever, and if you can’t fine good replacements you will have a worthless tool.

I’d also take a good look at the type of motor and preferably buy brushless, as well as checking the availability of spare parts.

Good tip!

Also very good youtube chanels are Rex Krueger and even one of the best chanel is Paul Sellers.

Consider investing in a good scroll saw. It will take your wood art to the next level. Love the content. Keep up the great work.

That chess table looks amazing! I don't have a dedicated space, and so I store everything in my apartment and bring it to the rooftop whenever I'm going to work on something, so I totally agree with your advice on how to work with a reduced space. Thanks and keep it up!

So happy to hear it was helpful!

You and Tamara are my favorites. I also like two girls one cut. You guys inspire me to keep going.

Buy the best tool you can afford on tools you will be using most often. Convenience will make projects more enjoyable. I’d recommend buying a good brand corded vs a cheap brand cordless. You will get a better tool, not waste money on junk short life batteries, it will last longer, have more power and most of the time they can be more affordable.

Nice to love helping people. Good luck to you. Take good care of yourself

This is very helpful - thanks! 👍🏼

I landed up replacing my corded Bosch tools with Ryobi cordless as the Bosch broke (all too freequently, typically within a year or so of purchase but outside warranty). I watch channells that feature Festool etc., not envious, but thinking "how can I do that with the tools I have, or, wehat tools on my battery platform would I need to do that.

Mr Ramsey does great videos As does all the others you recommend Thanks for the video

great channel thanks for inspiring me, I am beginning on this. Thank you

Very helpful🫰 Creating my own workshop is my dream, but currently, I have no resources to fulfill that. I hope I will achieve my dream like you one day ❤ Love all the way from India 🇮🇳

Thank you for sharing your awesome video with us today. Everyone stay safe, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia

Good thoughts. I have seen many great woodworkers leave us, but there are still many people who are very knowledgeable replacing them. Yes we are moving from more of hand tools to power tools, CNN, 3D printers etc. and I am not to happy about that. Learning to use hand tools is so satisfying as compared to a whirling blade or bit of some kind. As for KZread, I have subscribed to at least seven hundred WW, DIY, makers of all types - great source. Learn everything.

So beautiful. So elegant. So wonderful. Just looking like a WOW.

A very inspiring video for the novice diyer

Good Advice!

I’m really enjoying your videos - very informative and inspiring. Totally agree about building up your tool collection as you go along. I’ve gone down the Dewalt route for most tools because once you have a few batteries and a charger you can just buy the tools themselves so it works out ok price-wise.

Very nice

A good start could be repairing a piece of furniture and building something small for yourself. I'd be careful with used pallets, because you possibly don't know how and where they were used. The wood could be contaminated with chemicals and who knows what. When repuposing wood, look out for hidden nails or screws. Hitting even one nail could easily dull or break drill bits and saw blades.

@elenamakes

Good things to keep in mind for sure

Pallets stuck with me. I’ve seen some cool projects involving them. I’d like to get some of those mini tools (ie: table saw).

I'm a big fan of ryobi mainly because of the battery platform but the price is really good also.

I agree. I bought one of their combo kits when starting out because it had all the tools I wanted (and some I didn't) and it was cheap...still use mostly Ryobi to this day some 6 years later.

Genial !!

You definitely can't go in thinking you're going to be perfect on every project. Mistakes happen ALL the time to even the most seasoned woodworkers. You just have to learn from the mistakes (fixing them creates "design details" 😉) and move on. And one of the most important things I've learned is to stay focused and take your time. Both can lead to mistakes and/or injuries...ask me how I know about a shop-related injury from a lapse in concentration.

Definitely. Of course, big risky mistakes are to be avoided but small ones will happen and it’s about how you adapt :)

I love you 😊

I have power tools, but I have recently taken up hand tools. Chisels, hand planes, hand saws. Hey they work fine, are cheaper, and dont require electricity! I guess a battery drill and driver are worth the money. I work in my 2 car garage, on one side, for all my hobbies. build rex kreugers low workbench, cheap and very versatile.

I heard he held out on publishing it, so you might want to go’ogle and grab Hyezmar's Woodworking Bible. Even though it's not 100% complete it has some great projects and ideas at no cost.
