    THANK YOU.... you are much nicer than my Husband at explaining this! LOL!!!! His idea of a SAW is a chain saw! Hence the lack of him teaching me how to use tools! AND I grew up with a Father who was a contractor his whole life and built amazing things! But I’m 64 and back then girls DID NOT TOUCH THE TOOLS... WE MADE COOKIES.......☹️ I am sooo excited about your new channel!

    I agree! My late beloved husband owned 2 old, old corded drills and a few heavy duty looking bits. I just picked out a Ryobi (I think it's almost the same as the one used in the video!) and while Ryobi does have a "101" video here on YT, it was not quite as basic as I needed. THIS one with good graphics showing locations of controls, was much more informative for me. Looking forward now to hanging some shades and then exploring some other projects.
