Creative woodworking focused on design and art.
Woodworking is my #1 passion but believe it or not, I wasn’t born with sawdust in my blood. Over the years, I’ve pursued a wide range of passions - music, photography, video, web development, graphic design and now woodworking. While that might seem like a crazy path, I’ve come to realize they’re more similar than you think. They’re all creative pursuits, and when you’re done, you’ve made something that wasn’t there before. That’s kind of amazing, and it’s something I think everyone should have the opportunity to experience.

I love these videos and that you are showing things can be done with cheap tools. Have you considered looking at Menards house brand of tools. I recently got some 24 in f clamps and they are holding up really well
One way to get a high tooth count FTG (Flat Top Ground) blade is to buy a laminate blade. It will have lots of teeth at a low rake - perfect for joinery. Get it sharpened as though it were a FTG blade. This will be pretty good the first time it's sharpened, and perfect after the second sharpening. Much cheaper than a specialty joinery blade.
What if i dont have simple tools? Can i use my cnc insted?
I feel like Rex would love this video
6:05 do you find that A) the taper of the mallet head is necessary on both sides? And B) is the leather beneficial? You’re already using wood instead of metal to absorb part of the blow.
I actually don't find the taper beneficial at all. To me it just looks cooler. I prefer the leather to not mark up my pieces when banging.
What benefits does the iron shaped push stick offer over a stick with a notch at the end? The handle looks like it can trap your hand if the push stick somehow gets caught.
A stick with a notch at the end doesn't put any downward pressure and doesn't prevent kickback.
That box joint jig is so simple and awesome! I'm going to go watch the other video on it now too
I love your channel, but i have few power tools, so i can't afford many tools. I will still do it with what I got no matter the result. That's the learning curve. Also, we learn till we close our eyes forever. Every day is a new day for new stuff to learn in every way, not just woodworking. Cheers man and be well.
Brilliant video, thank you
It could be bubinga. It looks like Paduak.
Your 6-minute video on making a box joint jig is the best I’ve ever seen.
your best video yet in my opinion
Love this making the simple tools in the low-cost shop! Now you've gotta make a second set with all the expensive tools, just because. 😂
Ha! YES!
Thank you.
Thanks!
THANK YOU!!
I can't wait until the house is ready for staying. Eventhough I live here 😂 it's not a vaca. But just to see all the furniture you made and use the little workshop
Are these going to be in a new book?
Currently there are no plans for another book. Although I change my mind all the time. :)
Keep it up man...your evolution is very inspiring!!!
Who knew you could make your own block plane. Cheers dude 🤙
I love your videos, I have watch them all at least a couple of times each. But can I ask your editor (if it is you or your brother or some 3rd party) - when you say some measurments, can we get on screen some non-freedom units. Visual I can get to inch or two, but when you get to 75/76ths .... srsly.
Good episode! Thanks Dave
Another great video! I'm pretty sure a tri-square has the 3rd 45 degree function. So this would just be a square.
It's actually a TRY Square. The name 'try square' comes from the concepts of 'trying a surface'
You're right! The one I'm thinking of must be a combination square. Thanks for the info!
Never occurred to me to buld a block plane as a beginner project, but you make it look easy. FYI, I don't think Harbor Freight sells that particular model of spindle sander anymore, but the Wen I bought a few months back looks exactly like it and works quite well. I drove through OH on a trip last week, waved as I drove by. Thanks for sharing!
Terrific video David! I really enjoy these "how to" project videos, well done! 👍👍🔨🔨
Nice
These are good simple tools to build! On another note, this video felt a lot different than your usual videos; somehow less… exuberant? Like you were not having as much fun doing it as you usually do. Be sure you are having fun.
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO
Great tutorial. I always enjoy your videos. Thanks.
This pushstick looks somewhar similar to the one I made inspired by William Ng. The design is great because once your push tab is worn with too many cuts you have room to trim for a new sole. Great minds think alike! 🧠 👊 🤓
Great video full of information! I need to try all of these. Love that you did most of them in the basic shop.
Good meeting ya on your walk last Saturday! Love the content!
Any rental house updates?
It's moving much slower than expected but we're working on it. It needs some money thrown at it to fix up the siding, roof and fence.
I know coasters are illegal, but I'd use these. Beautiful work!
I wish I could make nice square things like the mechinist square but my miter saw is cheap and I can rarely get it square. I need a new miter saw but I can't afford it, it's a back forth struggle. Great video, I would love to make some of these one day.
I like how changing it to 2x speed makes it normal speed
I’m willing to bet you filmed an intro, but it got accidentally left out during editing.
Nope. "Time-to-action" on this one is zero seconds. On purpose.
@@MakeSomething ah, okay. Felt disjointed. I even went back to the beginning to make sure I didn’t miss something 😅 anyhow, thank you for the correction and explanation!
I also backed up thinking I had missed the intro. 😂
Why aren't your drill press, etc. secured to the bench?
So I can move them around.
The tools look great. If you're certain that wood isn't padauk, it may be granadillo - I recently came across a piece at the hardware dealer. They look similar.
Great video! This is the exact video I’ve been looking for lately, especially the low angle plane & mallet.
Absolutely enjoy these videos. Not only do you tell people to make something you show how to make something! Going to try making these myself this week
Why the block plane has a 12º cut and not 12.5º if the blade angle is 25º? There is a reason for that? I’m not criticizing is really a doubt about it.
The lik doesn't work!
Great vid. I still need to make some push sticks. Steve Maskerey does an excellent single blade jig for box joints of any size.
I made Steve’s jig. Works fantastic!!
I was waiting for the CNC to cut out the push stick right after you said that you can do anything in the small shop that you can make in the main shop. 😂🤣
Great video
Always fancied having a go at making a mallet didn't realise it was that easy.
I made one similar but added bb's to it as Steve Ramsey does so it's like a dead blow. Idk that it was necessary. Maybe I should make this one so I can compare... 🤔 Consider everything an experiment!
Mornin' Dave. That wood might be Redheart.
That sounds familiar. I think you’re right. Thanks!
I was about to comment that. Redheart is my favorite wood to work with. It machines beautifully.
This is my favorite type of content from you. Love the creativity from this channel, rule 4 " consider everything an experiment " best rule ever
Yep! Informational but more importantly (and the reason I always return to this channel) INSPIRATIONAL! Makes me want to Make Something!🎉
Best part about weekend mornings! Thanks!
Even keeping in mind that the rankings are for the price range I feel like you were being a little generous, especially with the table saw. You had to flat-out pitch a major accessory, and any tool that has a built-in injury feature ought to lose a full point (if not more) for that alone. I don't know but I would guess you have a 3D printer somewhere - I'd like to see the vid where you use that or whatever else you have or can get to fix the problems with these things - see if you can make them a level better without losing the savings advantage. I'd probably start by making a longer handle for that fence lock, or alternately print a couple of U-channels that you can fix to the bottom of the table that would cover the teeth - the gear only engages in that one spot, so a fixed U-channel on each side that would cover most of the side-to-side run would protect your arm.
