I love the clamp basket! That was so satisfying to see!

Can never have too many clamps!

Oh… and I love my Festool tools. I have their dust extractor (hubby has terrible asthma) and it has given me the chance of keep doing refinishing in my basement.

This is tremendously helpful; thank you! I have a house full of weary family heirlooms needing refinishing, and I didn't know where to start.

That’s how I started off. I have two kiddos. Let me know if there are any subjects/methods you want me to cover in a video. I’m always looking for more ideas.

@@madelinejeanantiquesrestor9074 Thank you! I started my first project yesterday with a foam roller and there were air bubbles everywhere :(.I read that they were disappear, but I went out a few hours later and they were still there. Going out to check again in a sec. I'm wondering what I did wrong to cause that, so maybe that's an idea for a video :). That was actually my worst fear because almost every time I pain my nails I get air bubbles lol!

I love that your videos are packed with truly useful info that quickly get to the point! You should have FAR more subscriptions - not sure what you might do to increase them and views. But one thing is, people are typically in an ADD hurry, so, at the very end of the video, I'd always creatively ask for a thumbs up and to smash the subscribe button. Great stuff!

Thank you! I’ve had other people on my other videos complain that I’m too chatty but it’s hard sometimes in this line of work to explain things quickly without going in depth of why you’re recommending something or instructing people to do a certain method. I try to pack as much as I can in a video. I figured there’s always the fast forward button 😉 And yes I think I should have more subscribers too!!! What the heck! Well thank you for leaving such a nice comment I appreciate it.

@@madelinejeanantiquesrestor9074 I think the great thing about your videos is the combination of personality and know how; that is why I keep coming back to your tutorials.

Your great! . I recently started a furniture restoration business full-time without any experience at all. I am the only business that offers the service in my city and surrounding areas as well so I am actually swamped with business. So thankful for it but kinda overwhelmed. You have idea how much you have helped me. Thanks so much.

That's fantastic! Congratulations on your new endeavor. Where are you based?

Bricks - Two thumbs up! I wrap mine in plastic wrap so glue doesn't stick to them. I have an older version of your Festool vacuum. Worth every penny. Suggestion: N52 neodymium magnets. I have a bunch in various sizes. Long-story-short, they are the best stud finders, metal detectors, tool holders, and oops I dropped the nut/bolt/screw picker uppers money can buy.

Awesome suggestions! I’ll look for those specific magnets. Anything that will help me work smarter and not harder I’m all ears! The bricks wrapped in plastic is another great tip. My bricks have occasionally got stuck (whoops!)

FYI, but you probably know this…the 3 in 1 tool you mentioned. The curved area of the tool is used to clean the paint out of roller heads back into the bucket before you wash out the roller head. Great job! Keep it up!

Love your recent episodes. Does either of them provide a list all your recommended tools?

I love harbor freight. My husband even shops there and he is a professional carpenter. There are many tools and gadgets that you don’t always have to spend too dollar on. And to be honest I have actually had harbor freight items last more than I even thought they would.

I totally agree! Nothing wrong with shopping for tools at Harbor Freight.

'Drillmaster' is a Harbor Freight brand. Too many people are overly critical of HF, choosing to strictly make their judgements based on brand names that their friend's think are cool, and no actual experience.

You are so correct! I’m not big into buying brands just to impress people. Just use what works. Thanks for clearing that up, the Drillmaster being a Harbor Freight brand. I had no clue. Makes sense I bought it there. Money can be tight. That drill has served me well over the years.

What did you say squirtal ❤
