I’m a lumber yard manager, and I couldn’t agree more

I bought this for my friend for his birthday as we just moved into a new house and he finally has room for a workshop. The bench was very easy to set up kzread.infoUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh They center support is a little difficult to snap in and out of place at first but at least then we know the bench is secure. It was a pleasant surprise when we saw it came with clamps. I apparently missed that in the description. My friend loves the versatility of the bench. Great starter bench for his workshop and easily transportable all over our property. I wish the bench was a little taller but the other features of the bench more than make up for that.

"I already know what I need to know for the lumber yard." 1 minute in the video and beyond: "well I'll be dipped."

vgg fan?

Just found this video and honestly, thank you so much. I've gotten used to being a woman walking into hardware stores over the years, but as I'm now getting into woodworking having an idea of what I'm walking into will make it all the easier and less demoralizing. Heavy applause!

Best lumber and plywood explanation crammed into 15 minutes

This is great. Now I just need to figure out how to load it all into my Kia Rio. :(

Yes, this is a problem we all have, I'm sure. I have a Chevy Sonic. I can stack 8' boards up between the passenger and driver, but I really have to watch the turns. What I really want to do is get a trailer, specifically for getting plywood, but if I made a trip to a lumber yard it would come in handy too.

I have a 2017 Hyundai Accent that is the Hyundai equivalent to the Kia Rio. I found that if you fold both the rear seats forward and if you slide the passenger seat all the way forward and leaned all the way back I can slide multiple 10ft sections onto the dashboard and still be able to close the trunk.

@@GodotWorld I got a Chevy Sonic too and I can fit the 8ft board by routing it through the trunk can probably fit longer of you push it out the from passenger window lol. Thankfully I got a roommate with a trucm

Well done. Super informative. So many times, KZread videos are more about the presenter than the subject matter. What a refreshing change!

Best vid I’ve seen on lumber yard info on KZread... Great Job, Thanks!

Holy wealth of information. I may have to watch this 100 times. Ha

Such a great video, very informative and robust. Thanks!

Man oh man, I’ve learned so much from your videos. This was fantastically informative. Thank you so much.

Your boat is looking great keep up the good work. You should also do a fishing video with the boat when it’s done

Brilliant video, thank you! As s newbie woodworker this is just what I need. Might have to watch it again and take notes!

This is absolutely amazing and exactly what I have been after! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this, as it is so helpful for a newbie woodworker such as myself (I don't think I've ever smashed the sub & bell so fast)!

Thanks for a very good presentation, clear and concise. Made understanding grading and how the size is calculated very clear. 👍👍

This was SUPER helpful! Thank you for this video!

This was great video. Awesome job explaining everything in an understandable way. Give the info and then an example.

Great job! I've seen several videos covering this topic, but yours is very well put together. Thanks for your hard work.

Man I wish I would've seen your video yesterday. Went to Ganahl Lumber here in Cali... felt like the first day of middle school, scared & completley lost! 😬

Thank you for a very clear explanation of those labels, I learned a lot, as well as the "lumber yard etiquette."

The best video on choosing material. Super informative and clearly explained.

Great video! I’m just at the very beginning of learning and this was very informative and well done. Extra points for the downloads.

Thanks for doing this. My head was spinning! Lots to still learn but I must breakaway from our local big box stores.

Wow that lumber yard is amazing, mine only has lumber, nothing like that tool selection, also nice video learnt a few new things

Love Johnson's Workbench!

Man, this was one of the more useful videos i have ever watched on KZread, thank you very much mate! :)

This is great information for starting woodworkers! Thank you, I would have been lost learning all of this on my own

Thank you for the lesson and tips. I can't wait for the print out to be available so I can brush up before going and checking out the local lumbar yard.

Thanks Chris! I found this video to be very informative and learned a ton about plywood grading and how it is cut. Very interesting!

This was really good content! Your channel keeps getting better and better. Thank you!

I live 30 mins away from Charlotte, and have been absolutely clueless as to this places existence... and they mill, which is something else I had no idea about. Too bad I can't hit the like button more than once.

Thank you for the informative video and thanks to Johnson's Workbench for letting you film there.

Excellent video TCC! I learned a lot from the info that you presented. Nicely done! Can't wait to see the next installation of the boat build.

Great video and content! Nice to see Johnson's. Makes me want to come dig through the piles.

With the projects, I am fixing to take on. Watching this video, sure shined a light on the types of wood I need to look into getting and where to get it from. Thanks a million.

This is an excellent video! I have yet to go to my local hardwood dealer and intended on doing it soon. Thanks to this video, I’ll be much more prepared. Thanks again!

Outstanding information and a must watch for new woodworkers or those who are venturing into exotic woods.

Thank you for this! Looking forward to getting out to Johnson's in South bend! This definitely helps with the anxiety of going in there for the first time

I'm just getting into woodworking and this video was extremely helpful! Thank you!

This is really awesome! I've been holding off going to a lumber yard as I'd just look like a bumbling fool (even though I'm sure they'd be nice and patient with me). But now I'll be a lot more confident - so thanks so much for taking the time to make and share this. Nice touch to add the info about etiquette, btw!

Thank you so much for this video! I'm getting to the point where I want to start using hardwoods and have always been intimidated by going to a real grownup lumber yard.

A year later and people are still finding this useful. Thx bro.

Literally took notes during this video - a great video for a newbie woodworker like myself.

Excellent video. Spent some time buying hardwoods.. this video still managed to teach me some things. Thank you.

Thanks for making this video. I'm about to make my first trip to a real lumber yard and you definitely just saved me some mistakes I'm sure.

After seeing this, I wish I could have stayed abroad for wood working only. Thumbs up from India.

Thanks, One of the best explanations I've heard in a while. Especially the plywood grades.

Great information, especially on the plywood! Can't wait to download your lumber cheat sheet when it's posted. Thank you!

This was awesome! Would love to see more videos like this.

This is so thorough! For a newbie like me this is gold. I can't pressure it enough: GREAT JOB!

Your execution and delivery of the information was astounding. Brief and to the point; just the way I like it!

Thank you for the share I learned an incredible amount of information

Wow! Great video, subbed, tu! I am just a few months in to learning woodworking and haven't yet been to a proper lumberyard. Thank you for putting this wonderfully informative video together. You put a TON of work into this! I feel a whole lot better about going to a real lumberyard now!

As someone who works at a hardwood lumber yard very similar to this, I really appreciate this video! There are tons of people who come in and have no idea what they want or even how to get it. Great information in this video!

I love this.. I picked this video at random but I'm in Lansing and when I looked up hardwood dealers before, Charlotte was the nearest one as far as I could tell. Have yet to go there. This was going to be the year I really started.. then covid.

Glad to find this especially being in MI myself. Also great to know they're as helpful as they are. I'm a noob so wont be there anytime soon. But when I do it's relieving to know I wont feel stupid asking questions.

Just getting started doing more serious woodworking, this video was super helpful and informative! Thanks very much!

Excellent info. Thanks Chris!

Thank you for saving this 14 year old woodworker from freezing on the spot, Bunnings down under is a pain in the ass for wood so this helped a lot!

Thanks for the video. Well done. I have been to the South Bend store several times. Not the cheapest place to buy wood, but they have a good selection and are helpful if you have questions.

Thanks Chris, this is one of those videos I'll have to watch several times. I have a pretty decent hardwood supplier about a half hour from me. I don't think it's quite as nice as yours, but they are as helpful as you mentioned.

Who in the world would dislike this much great information. Thank you so much for all the info!

The nearest hardwood dealer to me is less than helpful. I was out of my depth there. This video is exactly what I needed!

What a great video. Thanks for your completeness and clear presentation.

They also harvest lumber too. Heard my Dad and uncles talk about this place (in the 1970s) for years, was excited to see it for the first time. Now I take my son to. Hopefully he will take his son someday

I so needed this. Just now graduating from the big box stores and I'm lost. This video was great. Thanks.

Thanks for posting this! Great help!

Thank you for a very helpful video and I just have to say, Ootz (probably misspelt) is amazing. Looks right into the camera as if he’s presenting. A wonderful shopmate.

Johnson's is a great place that is where I go. I am always satisfied with the quality of the wood. I will see at the expo.

Great info!! Thanks for posting!

Ton of useful info. Lot to digest at one shot. Saved to watch again. Thanks for doing this video.

Thanks for this. As for the hardwood dealer in my area they are cranky as hell when asking newbie questions. Thanks to you I’ll be back and ready this time 😁

Been to one of these before, and this is very accurate information for someone who is unfamiliar.

Solid explanations. Thanks Chris.

Very informative and in plain layman's terms!

I've never visited a real lumber yard and boy am I glad I saw your video first. I would have been flabbergasted at the jargon and amount of choices. So, I am incredibly grateful for your detailed video, which will help arm me with at least a rudimentary understanding. Seriously, I loved the attention to detail, layman's terms, thoughtful explanations, and illustrations! I am going to get a hold of that document you mentioned and study up on it. I also saved this video so I can reference it again and again. Thanks again!

Thanks Chris!! Very helpful tips, I’ve never been to a hardwood dealer, but when I do, I’ll be curing up this video to help me out!! Happy 4th!!

Always so informative. Thank you.

Absolutely fantastic video

Great video!! Thanks for educating and sharing!

WOW!!!! Excellent video thanks for sharing this wealth of info.

Brilliant info, perfectly presented. Well done and thank you.

I went to Johnson's workbench several months ago and was completely overwhelmed... I'm so glad you made a video using them as an example! This will help me out a ton when going back.. It's really intimidating going to a real hardwood lumberyard for the first time.. mostly because I don't know what I don't know.

This is awesome info. I plan on starting in on a woodworking hobby after dabbling a bit in fence making and other small projects. After a bit of practice I’m going to try my hand at furniture making to see if I can get some nursery furniture made up before my wife and I start trying. I love that dudes like you are out there to give us this info. I’m deployed right now but this gives me a place to start so I have as much info as possible when I get home and start diving in.

This was a really concise and well delivered lesson. I have always been leery about going into to one of these places because I didn't want to act like a complete derelict. I think the biggest takeaway from this is how much I don't know!

Great reference video. Thank you so much.

What a terrific, informative video! I've bookmarked it. Thanks so much!!!

Wow! I'm planning on visiting my local Ganahl Lumber in the coming week and I can't believe this video popped up. I'm so glad I watched this. Thanks for the info Chris!

Great video Chris! Thank you for sharing it with us.👌👍😎JP

Thanks! Going to a lumber yard for hardwood can be very very intimidating.... Your example is the middle of the pack, fancier and you pay alot more, more basic the prices are great, the staff will get grumpy fast if you get too picky or ask them to lift down too many pallets. We have all three in our area. Never took out a hand plane. Another level is going to a small saw mill. no electricity, cash only fantastic prices with some beautiful wood. Cheers

You have given the most & best info I've been able to find. Thanks!

Excellent video! A lot of good information that’s not overwhelming. Thanks!

That's was beautiful. Nice work.

Thank you soooooo much for this video. I am new to woodworking and this was so helpful!

Wow! Clear, concise, informative and... interesting to watch and listen to. Well done and thank you!

Thank you for the wisdom. It is greatly appreciated.

Great video. As someone fairly new to furniture building this answered allot of questions I had.

Incredibly useful info! Thanks for doing this one!

Best video on this subject I’ve encountered. Thanks!
