As a grandfather returning to woodworking and learning to overcome my physical disabilities and limitations, I hope my journey will be helpful to others as I try to learn new tricks and technology along the way. I'm grateful to be joined in this journey by my wife of 37 years.

Poppops workshop popping the grain.
Great use of old spool. Cant wait to see the finished product.
Awesome use of a wooden cable spool! Those make great bar tables and outdoor stands for mini fire pits. 😎
Chamfer 💯
Dont know why you felt intimidates with all this, its so simple. If you need any help, let me know
How do you clean your powered mixer paddle? Going to go multiple epoxy applications to my 60’s era wooden frame kayaks from my childhood (Folbots) during a complete restoration of both. Thanks
I let it set up then peel it off
Thanks PopPop. Nice video with mistakes included. I did a charcuterie board in Jacksonville Rockler. The first one was bendable the repeat was fine. Used Total Boat deep pour. Finished and used Padauk and it came out great.
kickback or ejection?
I suppose either is a bad deal. Keeping the kerf open reduces the risk of either.
😍😍
Thanks for the video
Smart advice!
@ 2.06 = "There you SAW it." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Love it! (Great tip and demonstration too)
Thanks man!
Great tip, especially for a beginner who isn't familiar with all the ins and outs yet, thanks!
Awwwww!!❤
ASMR!!!! So satisfying!
I love pocket screws and my Kreg bench top rig. I've done a lot of fabrication work with them.
For quick, utilitarian, non critical stuff? Yep.
Awesome video, subbed!
Thank you
I have the 720 PRO and I like it but I would love the Foreman, or even one of the Castle machines.
Tollerance depends on the project. Your square needs perfection if you use it for saw blade or jointer fence alignment.
Sound is much better with the new mics.
Glad to "hear" that
Nice work. Lighting is key to all rooms. Especially your workshop.
Totally agree
Great stuff sir!
Thank you
I have a little helper too and i love how she always wants to come out to the shop with me.
Give me a renewed love of woodworking
As far as the stuck pliers, I would have done the same thing. If you have a broken part, Leatherman has a 30 year warranty. Fill out a form online, ship it to them and they either repair it or send you a comparable model
The community is usually willing to help with a lot of things. Keep up the good work.
Marking knife!
Great review Tony! I can tell you’ve really spent some time learning this tool and it’s advantages! Great video!
I used to have one from HF. Right now my air hose is wrapped around the cart my compressor is on. Right now that what I have.
Just use a rag
Keep that dust out of yer lungs there hoss
Normally, I wear a mask, but it's hard to be heard on video that way.
Someone just gave me that exact saw and I needed a fence, and now I can make just like yours. Thank you for posting this!
Glad it was hepful
I'm in the same boat!!
It's always good to look back to see where you came from. As you look back, take note of those who are just coming along, and give them a helping hand. May 2024 be a great year of growth for you and your family.
Thank you sir
It really depends on situation. I have a few common sized bits with collars on them at my usual depth, but for a one off? Tape flag is just so much quicker and you can always find some tape.
Thank you for sharing. Our machine's installation is indeed very simple. Looking forward to your upcoming videos.😁😁
1. Prioritize floor space. Table saw, work bench, jointer, etc. The tools you don't want to move around take priority. 2. Fill in around big tools like your table saw with other big tools like planer, jointer, bandsaw. Jay Bates made an excellent video on this topic by placing his planer and bandsaw on the side of his table saw that is otherwise dead space. 3. Try to put your miter saw against the long wall in your shop. 4. Router. Decide wether you want in a cabinet on wheels, as an extension wing on your table saw, or at the end of your miter saw station. Same can be said for a drill press, hollow chisel mortiser, etc. 5. Get things off the floor. Utilize wall space, whether it be custom tool holders and clamp rack, french cleat system, peg board. Get things off the floor. This includes scrap material an cut offs. My cut off bin is directly below my miter saw. Anything that gets tossed in there either goes to the burn pile, or gets glued up with epoxy to make small projects like drink coasters. 6. First order of retrievability. Check out Adam Savage. He coined this phrase and has many videos on this topic. Basically keep the most used tools and materials right there in front of you at arms reach, so you don't have to walk across the shop looking for something. At my miter saw station, in my basement, I keep a stop block, clamp, pencils, squares, tape measure and blue tape. I also keep all the accessories and tools to change the blade for my miter saw. Same can be said for table saw, drill press, planer, jointer, hand tool work bench, power tool work bench, etc. Basically, never waste another second of your life walking around your shop looking for something. Jay Bates and Adam Savage cover these topics in great detail on their channels. 7. More receptacles. I put dedicated circuits for all of my big tools and have them labeled as such in my electrical panel. Don't waste time tripping over extension cords anymore. 8. Invest in anti fatigue mats. Not only will your feet and back thank you, you will thank yourself when you drop a tool on the floor. Chisels, hand planes, routers, don't do well when dropped on a concrete floor. 9. Lights, lights, and more lights. Now that you have figured out your floor plan, set up LED shop lights (more than you think you need). Have your lighting plan set up so no shadows are being cast. Light it up from multiple directions. You will thank yourself. 10. Get a shop radio to listen to some music, podcast, audio book, whatever your are into. Make it as enjoyable as you possibly can to be in your shop. 11. Time is more valuable than money. Time is a non-renewable resource that is always slipping away from us. Set up your shop so you can work safely, and efficiently. Maximize you productive time in your shop and it will become your absolute favorite place to spend time. Your family and friends will think you are crazy/selfish at first, but when they see the end result, they will enjoy it too. 12. Work smarter, not harder. Keep up the good work, and enjoy life. Stay safe.
Great tips. Thanks
Man, sometimes I find 3 of them 10mm unless i need it.
Nope, I'm missing a 1/2" wrench from my set and it is driving me crazy. Some days, I go out to the shop and just stand there thinking of ways to make it more organized and efficient. Seems like I spend way too much time moving stuff around just so I can work. Small work spaces are tough to deal with.
Which folding ruler is that?
Lufkin
I have a couple of small 6 inch rules that belonged to my late father who was a machinist. Use them at my job and my home shop. Would never get rid of them. Priceless.
Looks like I mostly us T15 or T20 if using Torx. But I am more likely to use Robertson #1 or2. Thanks for your videos. Pop Pop

Great informative video!
You can really do quite a bit with just the tools that you talked about. Especially the speed square. Other layout tools that I use are protractors, bevel gauges, drafting angles (45, 30/60), and others. I am a sucker when it comes to layout tools. To me, you can never have too many!
Good tips sir! I have a similar brand of outlet and remote setup I use with my shop vac and it is definitely a step saver! Are the new lights LED? If so I have same in my shop and they put out an amazing amount of light altho I am at a point in my life where I can't have too much light any more LOL.
They are LED. I have a video on putting them up
I like talking with other makers and watch them get their shop in order!
Buddy propane heater.....I got a hot tent wood stove I been thinking about using....
Location 1 swinging barn doors and air compressor outside as well as dust collection rigging. Location 2 open shelves even if some folks dont like them...or french cleat wall shelves and tool holders. Location 3 lumber cart with casters and quit being a hoarder or get a wood burning heater for the shop....LOL Location 4 on the cabinets I think you got a good idea by building drawers all though I think it would be neat to build a air purifying dust collector using a squirl cage fan and the drawer holes made to accept filters and have the air come out in maybe the end of the cabinet.....
I am old school, I use dowels pins mostly!
