I built a rabbit cage for my girlfriend out of 1X various widths and cut up ventilated shelving. The white rabbit that her kids brought home as a baby grew up and was very destructive and so an animal rescuer was pleased to adopt it. The rabbit cage was no longer needed so I took it home. It was lined and painted white so I turned it upside-down, fastened a top to it and it became a coffee table. I call it "Leavenworth".

Old video, I know, but the number 1 overlooked tool for any woodworker is SPACE. I can barely tolerate, sometimes it's so demotivating, working in my little ~ 8' x 12' shed that is ~ 7' tall... You know, maybe I should build an addition... LMAO! Gotta talk to my landlord about that one!

Hi, Tamar. I really enjoy your style of instruction. I've been woodworking on and off for about 20 years now, but still pick up new tricks from videos like yours. In case no one's mentioned it, your Dewalt 745 has been replaced by the model 7491, which is an improved version. It still has all the features of the 745, but also some changes /improvements. I have very little space in my 1-car garage, so the 7491, with its folding stand, was a great choice. I've been using it for almost 6 months now, and am very pleased. It's not a SawStop 5hp cabinet saw, but for what it is, it's pretty good. Keep up the good work.

I left a comment yesterday about being glad that one your your videos popped into my feed. You are truly gifted in your teaching ability. It simply amazes me how many things you mention that others not only don't, but the thoughts would never enter into their realm of thinking. Keep up the great work. I work in IT and listen to your videos in the background while I work all day. Your woodworking videos have replaced all the "doom and gloom" of the talk radio that I used to listen to, and the added plus is that in greatly increases my woodworking skills.

Love your videos!! So well done and explained in just the perfect amount of detail. Thank you for explaining the thought process behind your decisions.

Good summary! It is amazing how fast and easily tools can be accumulated. I think I have 15 saws kicking around! I can relate to the point on maintenance, particularly of table saws. I had bought a cheap table saw about 7 years ago, and have struggled with it being stiff to raise the blade, even braking the handle once. I frequently took it apart and cleaned the slides, often with wax, which worked great short term but not long term. Last time I went to use it to trim legs off a bench for my SIL I raised the blade up to check if it was square (I don't trust the markings 100%) and as the blade reached the top it crashed down. It turns out the threads in the aluminum bracket holding the motor had worn away, and I don't trust the drawings in the manual enough to order a replacement. So I decided to upgrade and picked up a new Bosch contractor's saw today.

I love this video! A lot of topics really connected with me. I’ve been a web engineer for many years but have recently got into wood working. Your starting path seems to have mimicked mine. Many thanks to people like you, it’s jumped started my tangible projects. I think you are really talented and I love your comment about “when I first started, I just wanted to build stuff” ❤️

This is a "must see video". You are a awesome teacher! 😁 Thanks for sharing everything you know... about these things.

The router was my gateway into woodworking too. In Junior High School shop when we edged the wood for a fundraising project desk set pen holders and then later a lamp I made I was mesmerised by the beautiful edging.

I have an idea for your chair. Glue shims between some of the back support pieces until the desired shape is achieved. I think you should get a working chair in the shape you want before attempt make another. That way you can keep track of the added material and add that to the math for the initial rips.

I finally, 6 years in, bought a track saw after realizing how much sheet material I was cutting down with a circular saw and how long it took to setup a fence properly to get a good cut. I was IMMEDIATELY gratified at the time and headaches saved. But I also think I bought it at the right time. Learning to solve my problems with a stripped down tool taught me a lot along the way (something I think you touch on on another video). I guess the advice I add is, buy something when you REALLY understand why you want it and what it will do for you and you will never have a tool collecting dust. Thanks for the great video!

You are a pleasure to listen to :) You speak clearly, have a great personality and explain things very well. My new favorite woodworking channel. Great job! Also liked your transition into each new tool/topic... the kneeling, turning or stepping into view from the side, etc. 🙂

Absolutely this. With a rail square and repeat cut guide, a track saw can do basically everything a table saw can do. I'd say a track saw, drills, and router are probably the best overall purchases. Get a table saw later if you find you have room and need the speed/ease of repetition it provides. As an added bonus, the guide rail from the track saw is a great, long straight edge for verifying things are straight/flat.

If you work mostly in sheet stock, sure I suppose. My table saw spends over half its time wearing a dado stack, making dados, grooves and rabbets. I don't know if a track saw can achieve precise miters in smaller workpieces the way a table saw can. Cut me a wraparound grain jewelry box with a track saw.

Thank you for such a REASONABLE list and explanation to what we beginners might or might not need.

@@Roct3874 I bet those are some really unsquare and rough looking cuts. Depending on what I am cutting, I use either a crosscut sled, a circular saw and straight edge, or the tablesaw. For example, I can't cut a full sheet of plywood on my tablesaw, so circular saw and straight edge it is. However, if I am cutting rough lumber to size for a project, then I normally use the crosscut sled. I couldn't imagine using a jigsaw for anything but rough cuts, and trying to cut through thick lumber with one would take much more time than my crosscut sled or circular saw. Where I run into problems is cutting anything with a curve. I simply can't do it without a jigsaw. That is why I will be buying one soon. Once I get a bandsaw, many of those cuts will be done there, so it will all but eliminate the need for the jigsaw.

Жыл бұрын

Hey, I hope your woodworking has taken off as of 7 months ago! 👍 I'm curious about the Belmash multi-tool. The company websites show their main facilities are in Belarus with distribution (and probably manufacturing too) in Russia and Ukraine among other places. I'm guessing product support isn't exactly the easiest considering the language barrier along other things. How is it to use and are you able to use SAE measurements or is it strictly metric?

Love your channel and think you do a great job of bring concepts that may seem complex to those just getting into woodworking into something understandable. A few places I would differ with your list (I had a shop up until about 10 years ago accumulating about the same equipment you have now, selling the equipment because of a move but just getting back into woodworking now) is instead of a regular circular saw, think I would go with a track saw. Reflecting back on my experience when just getting into woodworking, I was frustrated with quality of cut coming off the saw learning only a little later that I had to purchase a different blade, and only after research finding out which one. Additionally, using the factory edge of plywood (or whatever) I found to not necessarily be straight sometimes having voids or indents throwing off the cut. Lastly, even when I purchased a good straight edge for my saw, I still had to pay attention to the cut because based on what was going on with the board (even sheet goods) the saw can wander a little not providing what I was looking for. Basically, I felt I could not even cut a straight line (at least a straight as I wanted) even after spending additional money on a blade(s), straight edge (or straight clamp(s)) and lost material that could have been directly put into a track saw today absent the initial frustration while getting most of the versatility of a common circular saw. In fact, a decent track saw may be all the saw you will ever need as modern track saws can be very precise. I suppose I'm saying a track saw could of minimized or eliminated much of the early frustration at about the same cost being very useful moving forward. Not really a "tool" but in the spirit of avoiding frustration, I would say get a good work bench if you don't already have one. For doing hand related work or cutting down pieces at a work bench with some good clamps can go a long way toward eliminating early frustration. As another early tool I would say purchasing a decent Portable Oscillating Spindle Sander should be in almost anyone's kit, as the machine can be carried to the work piece, mounted on a table, or placed in a table mount. Lastly, if someone would whisper in my ear doing it all over again I would go straight to a doweling jig using something like a Dowelmax or Jessem jig, avoiding the whole butt joint with screws, and pocket screws (yes, useful. But, in more narrow cases) finding the ease, precision, alignment and lack of glue-up frustration being a complete game changer. For doing edge glue-ups or panel glup-ups, just made things sooooooo much easier. Anyway, some two cents. Great work, look forward to the rest of your journey.

Haha! Just don’t get the Ryobi.... i had that one and it was not good

Great video Tamar! I've seen many of these before but the arguments you presented for why and when each tool comes in were the most solid and well thought out so far. A few notes for any beginners watching this: 1. Regarding interchangeable batteries within a brand of power tools, keep in mind that it's not *exactly* true - many brands have lines of tools at various voltages which will not be interchangeable. I recommend sticking to the 18v (sometimes marketed as 20v) line because they usually have the largest variety of tools. 2. Continuing that topic, consider which tools even need to be cordless. Corded versions are always more powerful and cheaper. A tool like a drill/driver definitely benefits from being cordless, but tools that need to be hooked up to a shop vac like a circular saw, router or sander, that benefit shrinks and most people will be better off buying a corded one. 3. If an air compressor is something you can use (given space and noise constraints) its an incredibly useful tool in the shop. Nail/staple guns, finish sprayers, and orbital sanders are all tools that work way better in pneumatic (air pressure) systems than electric. Just keep in mind that these systems do need some maintenance and care. 4. I can't stress enough Tamar's tip about getting a trim router that has an interchangeable plunge base. A trim router by itself has a very narrow set of uses, but with 2 bases you can do almost anything the big router would do, just slower. 5. Do not get fooled by "combination" tools, especially the miter saws with a "table saw" on top. They're inaccurate, dangerous, and have a tiny cut capacity that's no-where near as useful as a real table saw. Tamar's approach of a jobsite saw combined with jigs and outfeed table is the practical way to go on a budget.

So my trim router is also sometimes filling in for a table saw, a planer, and a drill press. Its such a versatile and fun tool to use.

The comment near the end about getting tools to save you time for *your* projects is key. A lot of these videos give these generic lists of what and when to buy. But depending on what you typically make you may never need a certain tool, or you may need a tool sooner. Thanks for this video!

One thing to consider; if you plan to use a dust-collection device, which is highly recommended... then there is really no need to spend 2-3 times more for cordless (battery) powered tools, as your tools will be tethered with a vacuum hose anyway, and the power cord won't really matter. Your money would be better spent for 2x as many tools instead of cordless tools IMHO

Yes, I understand shop safety is paramount and that one should coil extension cords after use just as we "should" do many things. In this light, maybe the added safety is worth three cost of buying certain cordless tools🤔.....

I have completed some simple proyecta for my grandson’s, my house, the kitchen. I wish you were my daughter ! So we can work together. Your KZread videos are great, so I will keep learning from you. Thank you

Great advice Tamar. My Dad was a chippy (carpenter) and as a young teenager in the 70's I started to make things in my Dad's shed with very basic tools. We didn't have any fancy tools, I started with a hand saw, a hand drill, a square, hammer and nails, chisels, a file and sand paper, today it's a different story. As you say, It's almost impossible to give someone advice on where to start because it all depends on what you intend to make. Our forefathers had remarkable skills and have proven that you can make anything with basic tools, it's just so much easier and quicker now with what's available to us. Start with the basics and before long you'll be travelling down the rabbit hole and won't know where it stops.

@@nateb9768 I hope you didn't misunderstand me Nate, I was simply saying that when I started there wasn't all the good stuff we have available today. Now days I rarely use a lot of hand tools if I can do it better and faster with power tools, particularly the awesome battery stuff. But as Tamar says, you will never stop buying tools because there will always be something new or better that saves us time or gives us a better result.

Same convo is happening here. I gave my awesome wife a piano for our 25th in April, so maybe I’ll finally step up to a cabinet saw :)

I say a portable drill with a hammer and impact function, then buy a good reciprocating saw. You can cut any material with a recip saw.

I am a Canadian and I do woodworking. I have made 20 wooden keepsake boxed and finished the basement rec room off myself. That said you do a good job to explain stuff

Thanks Tamar, really excellent video. Love your honest approach. I have been woodworking a while and pretty much agree with everything you stated. My only addition would be around quality. IMHO there is no substitute for that. If I was to start my tool purchases all over, I would absolutely focus on quality over quantity. My personal experience is that is better to buy right the first time. Think of the best version you can afford now then save up to buy the next best!! The number of times I have rushed out to buy the best I can afford only to find in a few months I wished I had the next best version is embarrassing to put it mildly!! Once again, thanks for the awesome videos you produce. Cheers, Mike.

I am building things in the woods so I have quite a few more constraints than this for my own projects. My main constraints are that it has to be a hand tool since I'm doing bush craft, it can't be too expensive because I hardly have any money, it can't be too heavy because I have to carry it in my backpack, and it can't take up too much room since I have to carry other things in my backpack too. So far, I have a Corona folding saw (that I am sharing with my mom), a hatchet, a small set of carving knives, and a Scotch eye auger. One of the most useful things that I recently bought was some wood glue because it's hard to hand-carve tenons that will hold a stool solidly without anything but the pieces of wood being joined together. There are certain ways to make glues from natural sources but there aren't any such things near where I've been building so I just got some wood glue from the store. The glue immediately (once the glue dried) made my stools as solid as any you would buy in the store. I didn't have a clamp so I just held them together with my hands for the first 30 minutes. Since my outdoors woodworking is supposed to be meditative, it's fine for now for me to hold them together until the initial bond is achieved. Now, as far as the tools you've mentioned here, that's the kind of thing that we have at the house since my mom and I build things and fix things all the time. We are still lacking a few of these tools but I'm sure we'll get them as soon as my mom decides that they would be useful for our projects and she's the only one with enough money to buy them. Most of the garage is full of various tools, mostly for woodworking, but also several other ones for building and fixing things from other materials. The one thing that I really do like about working with wood using hand tools is that I can forego the ear protection. The sound of hand tools cutting wood is such a nice sound, particularly when it comes to the auger. The downside of hand tools is that I'm not a spring chicken anymore and so I get really tired using them. Since my woodworking is meditative, though, taking a break is an important part of that meditation. The other non-woodworking tools that I carry with me are a folding shovel and a bucket so I can dig and work with clay. So far, I've made a shelter with a stealthy Dakota fire pit surrounded by a clay enclosure to prevent too much light leaking out when I have a fire and to keep the rain from putting my fire out. I still have a lot more work to do on the place but things just take time when you do everything by hand. It's also pretty damn hard to carry some of the lumber I cut around and it's a rare thing when I can get a smooth piece of wood just from splitting a log, although my carving knives make it good enough for bush craft work usually. I like that bit of advice you gave about making a spoon since that's how I learned in practice how to work with the grain of the wood. I had watched videos about it but there's no substitute for feeling it out yourself as you work with the wood. Cheers from a fellow woodworking woman!

Tamar, do you have a track saw? I’ve seen some folks recommending a track saw vs circular and table saw. I have the Makita, and prefer it for straight line ripping and even jointing (no jointer yet), but still prefer the table saw for regular ripping or crosscutting when my miter saw won’t reach.

I have an old tiny table and corded circular saw. I don’t love them and I was thinking about getting a cordless track saw. I feel like the track saw will result in straighter cuts and be portable and maybe be safer. When I re-did my kitchen I ended up using my jigsaw a lot because it was cordless and quieter than the old circ saw. And I have a miter saw I use a lot. I’m about to need to rip sone boards to do some window casing/trim, so I’m thinking a track-saw might be the way to go. What do you think, random internet person (and/or Tamar)? Thanks!

I think a track saw is very useful for some things, but it can't replace either a table saw, or even a circular saw. I'd consider them a luxury tool, since they're about as expensive as higher-end jobsite table saws, but are more limited than either table saws, or circular saws.

@paweskarzynski8068

@@adderjack4604 I haven't even heard of tracksaws before, I thought it is just a separately bought track for regular circular saw. And with circular saw you can make a lot of things with some effort, even dados are possible, although far from comfortable to make. Just cut two outermost cuts inside a dado with proper depth and move into inside cut by cut until you meet the other starting cut. Table saws are great but only if you have a place to store them - I do not, my garage is not big enough.

@adderjack4604

@@paweskarzynski8068 yeah, I know kreg makes a track that you can attach to a circular saw, so you can use it like a track saw. It might not be as precise, and probably takes more work to get the cut exactly where you want it, since it's designed to be used with many different circular saws, but it's probably not a bad option. I only have a circular saw, right now. I borrow a table saw that my former boss has left in the house he's building for my mom, when I need to use one. But, most of the time, I just use the circ saw, or my jigsaw, when I'm doing cuts that my miter saw can't do. My miter saw probably sees the most use out of any of them, really.

maden. For decades, no centuries, carpenters used hand tools. With a few simple, inexpensive ones, you can make tons of enjoyable, functional stuff. Hand drill, saw, hammer, plane and more can be found either inexpensively or used. Go for it. I doubt any hand tools you purchase will go in the trash once you're able to upgrade to power.

Now on dust collection just as I was thinking it was the missing essential item. Take it from an old man who thought like all my generation and regrets it - think dust extraction, mask, goggles, vibration-proof gloves, vacuuming up dust that escapes the extractor, all from the start

Perfect Video for beginner to get knowledge. loved it

I couldn't agree more with your beginner's tool assessment needs. About 2 years ago I purchased a used Kobalt table saw for mobile construction for a small amount since it needed some repairs. I stripped it, repaired it, and lubricated it an reassembled it. There's so much satisfaction of restoring one's own tools especially when they work great!

A lovely insight into your journey around your workshop tool purchasing and your guidance and thoughts on what tools options there are. You also covered the pit falls with progression to more mass production tools. Personallly my journey has only just begun. But if there is one thing I take from your video is with the right tool any custom made tool can be made to made the job easier! Very watchable, thanks.

An excellent video, Tamar. Thank you. I love your comments about progressing with your tools as you progress through your projects. It's so easy to watch the multitude of youtubers and feel defeated because you don't have a big shop or lots of expensive, fancy tools. It's when I struggle that has always told me what to get next. If I had a nickel for every time I said, "why didn't I get this sooner?" hahaha

Thank you for this video. On point and great to hear about the tradeoffs depending on your personal needs.

Thank you for being so detailed! 🙌
