Absolutely brilliant! I have great respect for the art of carpentry. I've always nurtured a 'secret' desire to learn some carpentry skills and have my very own little workshop, but being a lady sometimes means that people might not take you seriously if you try to step into this very male dominated world of construction. You are a GREAT teacher! Very inspiring! 👏👏👏👏

I enjoyed this tremendously and am grateful for the clarity and detail you brought to the presentations. I, too am retired, female and 69 years old. The only available local woodworking classes that I had been attending were permanently closed last year, so I have been using online resources to continue learning to do this wonderful work. Currently hoping to move past my trepidation to open and use my new table saw; any instruction would be so welcome.

Hi, wow, I can't say thank you enough for these training videos!! As a disabled, senior recently widowed woman, I am having to learn how to do all repairs and everything else by myself. I have no one to teach me either. So, these videos are going to help me repair things like my bathroom floor that is falling in, my roof that is seriously leaking in my dining room along with the damage it has caused to the ceiling. My 5 acres of property and my home need a lot of repairs and work that I can't afford, therefore I have to figure out how to do everything myself. My husband was trying before he was killed, but, as a Vietnam Veteran, agent orange had left him with a lot of problems and he couldn't do what he needed. So, again, many thanks!!

But I own a house and I’m becoming interested in building/fixing things myself. There’s no classes around here and I’d probably feel super out of place at one anyway. Lol. Hesitant to get started on anything without learning about terms, tools and how to use them safely, basic concepts, etc. this is the perfect start so thanks!

Thanks for this basic run down of terminology. It helps asking for help or advice, whether in the store or doing a project. I'm a reasonably competent DIY female. Among women that's a plus. But among men, my credibility is damaged by limitation in terminology. If I make one mistake in the name of anything (e.g., "pusher" instead of "push block"), I see the shared roll of eyes among DIY men who are really no more skilled than myself (on occasion, less). But in an instant, it's like my ignorance of terminology is extrapolated to the rest of my work, and suddenly I'm an outsider, and a project liability. As an example, when my father died, two of the in-laws stripped the garage of his tools before I got home that evening - including MY TOOLS! - because "you don't even know what the tools are called'. It was decided I was unworthy to have them because everybody knows tools belong with men. The good news is having come from Biology and pre-med, I love the languages of terminology. Law, medicine, physics, automotive, carpentry, plumbing ... you name it, the more words the better! They all have their language, and even if I can't fluently SPEAK the language, it's a tremendous thing to 'follow along' easily when it's being discussed in a store, during instruction, a tutorial video, or just asking a specific question to get a specific answer. Interestingly, when people can't make out what their doctor said, I can explain it in layman terms without embarrassing anyone. Not so a woman with bad tool and woodcraft terminology. It's evidently a dead giveaway our brains must be made of cotton wool and sawdust. :D

I'm speechless at the amount of clarity this video (and your others) have given me. I've been interested in woodworking before and have read up on it as well as watched various videos but it has been mostly confusing to me, making me apprehensive about attempting much of what I've learned beyond hammering in a piece of trim...until now. There was literally a sequence of, let's call them "mental domino clicks", where I suddenly understood certain concepts and most things just fell into place. I'm posting on this video but have watched so many others and am just in awe of just how much I didn't know that I didn't know. Thank you for the patience and simplicity in explaining and helping me understand. I think I may have a new interest in making this a hobby!!

Great video
Genuine: Is this a high effort comment? - I always had a soft spot with woodworking, even though I was 5 or younger. And so when I was first introduced to wood, yarn, metal, clay and art materials so maybe with a lover of either gender, we can customize our interior from scratch and I would have just enough knowledge for our home to be enough for the both of us. Anyways, this series is going to be extremely useful for us viewers and those in the future. I have high hopes to those who find woodworking/crafting of any medium - indoors and outdoors - fascinating enough to go on a streak and find out secrets of all sorts on this topic after they become introduced to this wonderful series.
Thank you so much for this video! Answered so many questions for me right off the bat. I am a “mama-bird” who’s wanted to learn how to make wild bird houses and feeders. I will be glued to this channel now that I’ve found you! KC, Cumberland MD.

Hate to say it but I’m actually staring to enjoy doing the math behind it since it directly coordinates with what you’re doing. And I am absolutely intrigued and dig’n this carpentry stuff and how it works. Who’d thought I’ve never enjoy math!?! I HATED it but now I’m starting to like it.
