Not trying to push a parasocial relationship or anything, but I have been watching your videos for years and they're just as good quality now than they were 6 years ago.

    When I moved to Indonesia 13 years ago I knew very little about the exotic woods common here or even where to find quality woodworking tools as online shopping wasn't a thing and there are no big box stores. I can't even remember where I got the wood from but I did manage to buy a handsaw and a few other basic hand tools because I wanted to make a little table for my new wife. It actually turned out pretty good and I had a good laugh when I heard my niece now in college is using it. Living here has taught me that you don't need a fancy shop or tools as the Indonesian craftsmen (and yes it's PC because they're literally all men) build amazing furniture and even houses and boats with very basic and primitive tools. They use their brains and creativity instead of a credit card.

    As penniless newly weds, 55 years ago, my new bride designed our lounge suite. Actually it was a knockoff, seen in the upmarket store of David Jones Sydney store. She would surreptitiously visit the store with a tape measure, so came up with a set of working drawings. I had a tenon saw, a mitre box, and a brace and bit. The arms and legs for the chairs and lounge were made of one inch round dowel, so joining them was a challenge. Fortunately I found a standard Meranti dowel to use. I finished them off with many coats of high gloss enamel. My wife made the cushions. Side by side with the original, it was pretty good. My wife cherished my efforts for many years. I made numerous items of furniture for her, with the most basic of tools.

    We live in a second floor apartment of a suburban house. My "workshop" is a 9 x 11 foot bedroom that doubles as my office. My "workbench" is a steel desk that I raised and modified myself so I can clamp things down. I even attached a front mounted vise. In it, I store my hand saws, chisels, sharpening stones, and wood planes. The closet is full of power tools and a pegboard on one wall holds most of my hand tools. I have a benchtop drill press and a set of Forstner bits sitting on top of a two drawer file cabinet, a circular saw, a jig saw, several sanders, an angle grinder, a Dremel, and several drills. I do most of my cutting and sanding on the driveway on account of the dust, but I do have a Rigid shop vac for work done upstairs. The biggest PITA is dragging all my tools and materials up and down the stairs. My best addition was a Craftsman contractor table saw that I got at a garage sale for $25 and a folding 1980s era B&D Workmate that I picked up at another yard sale for $20. I built a router table with an adjustable fence that drops into the Workmate. I built two oak desk hutches, three poplar bookcases, a king sized oak headboard with decorative cast iron panels for our bed, a kitchen storage cabinet /china closet, a 7 foot tall playground for our cat, and more small decorative and functional projects than I can list. My dad taught me that you don't need a huge workshop or expensive branded tools to get lots of work done.

Used my cordless saw and a cheap plastic saw guide from the blue place. Did the first 3 boxes totaling 9 10 inch tall supers. All on my tailgate and 3 sawhorses. Dados, rabbits, and dovetails. I have a lathe in my shop and can't have the sawdust on it. Anyway with some dynamic thinking anything can be built anywhere.

I'm not a carpenter (I work in electronics) but the way you explain the subject is inspiring to do more, better and preferably without ruining material (or your hands). For me, I think your videos could be longer, due to the fact that every sentence I hear from you is another small detail of wisdom that can and should be stored in my little universe.

Have been doing the work with what many people would consider sub-standard tools (my table saw is a $99 Ryobi contractor saw I placed in a cabinet for support on the sides and outfeed), and have been building parts out of everything from cheap pine to 16/4 purple heart and white oak. The game changer in my shop was a Dewalt 12" compound miter saw: amazing what you can do with a really good and large miter saw. And I've been using the Bora straight edge without the attachments for years. Clamp, Skilsaw, and go. I'm getting ready to buy a mid-level cabinet saw, but will miss the pride of sitting back, looking at a piece of work, and saying "I did that with just these tools."

    In my Vocational Technical Carpentry class (in the early 80's) second year students made a framed kitchen cabinet using only hand power tools and hand tools. I started hobby woodworking with a circular saw, aluminum straight edge, router, belt sander and palm sander. I think those methods and skills helped me a better stationary tool woodworker today. I can't remember the last time I used primarily hand tools to build anything. I'm a fan of Stumpy but how many and how often does he use the tools in his background?

    I started out watching the popular woodworking channels about 2015 when they made relatable projects in relatable workshops but got bored once they transitioned to huge, essentially commercial workshops build on their new ranches or massive properties, building things in ways that just didn’t relate anymore. Good luck to them and I wish them every success but at that point the entertainment or even education was gone for me so I unfollowed most of them. You however are one of the epitomes of keeping it real and that is amazing for people like me with ‘ordinary’ garage size or smaller modest workshops, thank you 😊

Works like a charm. I've underrated this tool for no reason. I guess because table saw for beginners is more safe than circular saw in general. But circular saw - if it's good (or track saw) is way more versatile

    That one hint about the glue is probably the best one you can give. I've seen KZreadrs wipe off the excess. Every time I've done that to a piece I was planning on staining I kick myself. Stain will not work where glue has sealed the wood. If for some reason you let it harden you'll have to use a scraper. The one thing to be careful of is using so much glue that it drips down your work. Not only is it hard to get off but also seals the wood requiring a lot of sanding. One fellow had the great idea of using masking tape to prevent glue drips from sealing the wood.

    absolutely love this. I wish I had this video when I first started woodworking. It makes you appreciate where one was and now is as a woodworker. I still have things in my house that were built on the garage floor with a crappy jobsite table saw and an imagination. Thank you Stumpy Nubs!

    I'm 67 and have been doing woodworking since I was about 10. After I retired 10 years ago I started building and selling furniture to supplement my income. I have some great tools like the Bosch articulated miter saw, $600 on sell 5 years ago. Worth every penny. I also have a harbor freight 33 inch wood lathe that works great for table legs. I have a lot of old antique and vintage tools. A lot of tools I bought used. If you do your homework...ie... research, you can over the years come up with a shop that you can build anything with. Name alone doesn't matter much to me.

    There's contractors and experienced handymen who work permanently on site, with whatever tools they can squeeze into their vans. They commonly do construction carpentry, but sometimes they also have to do woodworking, and they find ways to do it to professional standards and quickly. It's possible, in woodworking there's many ways to skin a cat as they say.

    You said you had a clamping issue for the back part which rocks forward when you clamp the front. Same here. I use strap clamps having the ratchet on the back side which has more tension. If the edges are soft for a strap, use angle aluminum, polish the outer corner side rounder. It works 4 me. And I have a tiny place as a [shop]...

    Couldn't agree more. If you want to start out in this hobby, just start out. take a saw, a hammer and a chisel and then grow from there... buy pro-tools so you will have fun with it, but don't buy 'em all together and before you start. just one by one over years - if needed - and as for the example, I agree, too: with a circular handsaw you can do almost everything you would with a tablesaw...

    "I'm going to show this simple project you can do at home. Let's start by ripping these boards up at my 5000 dollar table saw and planing and jointing them on my 600 dollar planer and my cheap 900 dollar jointer so they fit perfectly. You can do this at home with your hand saw and block of sanding paper, but for the sake of the video I'll be using all of my tools."

    Something that has happen to my watching how-to-projects for wood workers. First the amount of technique blogs has exploded and some that are contradictory. Even if I wanted to try all the techniques there is not enough time in a life to get to them all. And the other is jig making blogs, after making numerous jigs I realized that I could not make the same quality jigs as I could buy no matter how careful I was during fabrication. I do still watch your blog and two other woodworking blogs but I have to say I only watch one episode of each blog per month or 2. As an example things like finish sanding, staining and sealing the videos would only show the techniques using flat boards how many projects have a flat board not connected to anything else.

    I don’t have a shop with lasers & photon torpedos but I do have table & miter saw. Even so, I find myself using my Bora products a lot bc of the ability to cut IN SITU. I don’t want to bring huge unwieldy and/or heavy plywood sheets to the shop saws & have to heave ho after I’m done cutting. For instance, I was reroofing a huge shed & needed to replace some plywood sheets & cut everything on the roof saving me a lot of effort.
