55 – Woodworking 101 FREE ONLINE COURSE LESSON 1 Part 2 of 8 The Drill
This is LESSON 1 Part 2 of 8 “The Drill” of our free 16 week woodworking 101 online course.
Lesson number one is a basic introduction to the tools needed for woodworking. Since it is a long video we have broken it down into 8 conveniently short parts.
This segment covers The Drill.
This is a specifically designed curriculum created to teach all of the essentials of woodworking to take someone with no knowledge to the level of a moderately experienced woodworker. The entire course is free and will be posted online. During the course we will also be practicing our newly developed skills by building projects. We will provide plans for all course projects free on our website.
The course will cover a comprehensive introduction to all necessary woodworking tools, lumber selection, adhesives, joinery, building methods, styles, sanding, finish prep, final finish, and much more…

We love teaching the world to do woodworking.
Excellent video series.I have subscribed to it as im new to carpentry, thank you.
Hey James, thanks for the video man. do I have to use the drill press to drill a plug or can I use my cordless drill?
James, you have a fine set of tutorials here. Thanks for your eloquent and thorough lessons.
With regard to this one about drills I would make these minor suggestions for additional comments by you if you intend to ever edit these;
I’d recommend the person always go with Lithium Ion batteries and tools over NiCads or any other type. They are lighter, don’t retain a memory, last far longer and recharge much faster.
Suggest they find a brand of cordless power tool they are happy with and a battery size that will accommodate the jobs they do. Why buy 20v or larger batteries if you never do jobs that need that much power and stamina. Those larger batteries are heavy and more expensive. 18 and 14 and 12V batteries also charge up faster. Suggest they have at minimum 2 batteries so they can be charging one while using one.
Decide on the range of tools you expect to use so you can stay within one family of products and avoid needing to buy extra batteries and chargers for different tools.
Go with brushless tools if you can afford them. They are better for battery life and offer better variable speed control. Supposedly they last longer too.
I’d mention those jigs/devices you can attach to a drill that allow some of the control you need and get with a big drill press. I have a press but got along with one of those for many years when I was starting out and didn’t have the money or space for a press.
I’d mention the sanding wheels and abrasive stones you can use with hand drills and the mortising jigs you can use with drill presses.
Hope you find the comments of some value. Please keep up the great lessons.
Nice! Great series so far. I have the metric and imperial versions of that brad point set from woodcraft, that’s a great deal on some high quality drill bits!!
thank you. you are very user friendly!
AH, now you have TWO lovely uncredited assistants. 🙂
TORX-25. Geeees, I wish I saw this video three days ago. I just built a raised garden and noticed that my deck screws did not fit so well with a Philips. Because the box said: "Star head". I lost a few hours learning that "star" was the same as "torx" and I had to guess that 25 was what I wanted. And you said it all within the first 5 minutes of your video. <still kicking myself>. One thing I did learn was that the cheapest way to lube a screw to make it go in easily is a cheap toilet gasket. Just a tiny poke of the tip of the screw and Bob’s your uncle.
Atölyeniz ve çalışmalarınız çok güzel 🇹🇷
I did not plan to make use of this woodworking book, *TopFineWoodworking. Com* but instead curious about it. I had been truly amazed right after trying it. I was seeking to learn more about the art of woodworking, and was not disappointed. I found many topics such as wood types and designing your workshop.
Why didn’t you cover the drill press.
thank you
You are awesome! thank you so much!
Hi James – Your videos are great – I just subscribed – It’s the first time I’ve ever done that 🙂 I’m excited about the Woodworking 101 videos – I learned a lot about my 20-year-old circular saw just by watching your first video. With regards to the drill video, I learned some things as well; I’m hoping that in the future you can address the different gears and such in a contemporary drill. Just purchased my first wireless drill/driver combo set (Ryobi) and as a newish hobbyist it would be great to learn about what changing a gear does / adjusting torque etc. You do a great job explaining things so clearly!
Thank You.
Thank you Mr King
Bro, thank you so much for the great class. You are damn awesome
Thank you for doing this! I’m learning so much, already!
Where can I find the full course? Loving these videos
Really enjoying it. Subscribed. Thank you.
Thank you very much for sharing these videos James. They are excellent. I am just starting to do some woodworking and I thank God that I discovered your videos. Bless you and your family.
Hi James, not sure if ur still answering any questions on this video since it’s a couple years old but I thought I’d ask one anyway. Why wouldn’t someone ONLY use the brad tip drill bits. Is there a situation where u wouldn’t use them? Just wondering why someone would need both sets. Thanks!
Hi james, really loving the videos! Just subscribed :). Just one question though, why wouldn’t you just always use the brad point bit? Seems like the better option. Thanks!
James, these lessons are fantastic! Thank you and your girls for giving your time to put this information out there.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, James. Your videos are a massive help for me trying to get into woodworking. It is hard to spend money at first, and your videos are not only free, but they are so well detailed, and the way you explain it to the tiniest details is mind-blowing. With this level of detail, I can see on your videos that your work must be superb.
Thank you once again for this. Happy Holidays!
Thank you for the course, I’m a new subscriber love the video. Keep up the good work
Great videos and intuitive to beginners like me. I look forward to my woodworking craftsmanship
Can you use the plug cutter in inpact or drill
Thank you so much for doing this.
Thanks
Thanks a bunch, Great instruction, Really useful.
I think you are doing a great job on your video thank you for making them l am looking foreword to seeing all of them a woodworker interesting
Thank you for sharing your knowledges and giving us your time. I am enjoying your video series.
This is the 3rd video that I have watched…thank you so much. I am fairly new to wood working. I took wood shop 30 years ago and I would watch my dad sometimes (I did not pay enough attention). I am so happy that you have done these videos. I know that this is an older video, but I hope that in the future you can introduce your daughters and give them credit in the intro. In the future this will look great on their resumes. If you have already done so, please disregard this message. Thanks for teaching us and your children!
Quality videos and great content. Thanks for making this info available. I went to get the Vix bits from your link but it takes me to a Bosch set. Is that what you use or is the link wrong? Thanks.
I love the hammer key chain!
Thank you James very nice video’s
I bought some of the self-centering bits for drilling holes for skateboard trucks and they gave the best patterns I’ve ever done (drilling through the trucks). And since they have the sleeve, they don’t damage the trucks, either. Next I’m going to try making small, centered holes with the self-centering bit and then making the actual size hole with the brad point bits.
thank sir v nice
Thank you for these lessons
Great information and very clearly presented. Thank you for doing these. I am a beginner and you have kept me glued (pardon the pun) to the screen..
Hi James
I want to do hole of 25mm on flat wooden panel so please suggest me to use which type of drill bits
Very informative James, can’t wait for the next one.
Where is your online material? Worksheets?
My new favorite King of woodworking tutorials on Youtube !! Thank you for an outstand series. I always follow your Amazon links whenever I buy anything!
Amazing man. You’ve done an awesome thing putting these videos out there, and you make it feel like you’re right at home learning.
Dude…..YES. This is EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for. Relatable, concise, to the point.
Very helpful, thank you!
Thank You.
