I love your videos, but I have a question: You mentioned how you can use a table saw to make rip cuts, "cuts along the length of a board." However, aren’t rip cuts technically about grain rather than length vs. width? So if you were repurposing a board where its length was going against the grain, wouldn’t you be making a cross cut rather than a rip cut (cutting along the length of the board)? Conversely, wouldn’t what we traditionally think of as a cross cut become a rip cut (going with the grain)? Similarly, isn’t resawing "the process of slicing the timber along the grain direction to reduce it to thinner sections or to make veneers" ("splitting the thickness of the wood to get two thinner slabs")?
What about breathing masks?
The moment Steve said ‘waiting for the plane to fly over’ I got sudden hail hammer on my loft windows…
OK, I give up….why not the adhesive random orbital sander? I have both and find the adhesive version to sand flatter.
Cheers Steve, every time I go for a poo I learn something new 👍
I need a power tool to prevent diarrhea
I’m just saying… I’ve never seen you and Batman in a video at the same time. Not making any assumptions. 💁🏻♂️
You forgot to mention a scroll saw when talking about the jigsaw
Impact driver is the best tool I’ve ever bought. I use it for everything. I got the dewalt brushless 1/4 impact about 6 years ago. I have dropped it hundreds of times. Gotten various automotive fluids on it. Used it for construction and auto repair as well as woodworking. It has been flawless.
With a random orbital you’ll most likely want to hook up a suction hose to it so might as well have it corded.
I love the way you explain it thank you sir, very helpful. I want to lean more
At last sanity – too many con-men out there with aircraft-hangar sized workshops, a whole factory of tool & machines, and masses of experience – pretending to be just normal guys when they are obviously sponsored by tool-making conglomerates
For a semi decent table saw in the UK is ridiculous money a dewalt site saw costs £580 here witch is about $800
Fucking love this dude, awesome video
Funny he compared some workshops to airplane hangers, and an airplane goes by.
So. What’s the recommendation of a table saw. Small size
one tool i would add on is a multi tool. can be used for so much with wood working and other projects around the house
I hope Steve gets paid lots by YouTube. He deserves it.
I died when his first tool is miter saw. Hahahahahaha. First tool should be circular saw, 2nd is impact drill. 3rd would be impact driver or just buy a flip drive drill bit. 4th would be sander. 5th jigsaw. 6th router.
Hello Steve, I have a weird question: I need to chip small branches into 4" sections. Wood chippers shred things into pieces too small for my need & feeding the machine one branch at a time takes too long. I want to cut across a bunch of sticks at a time. Should I use a table saw or a miter saw?
What about Ryobi tools? I know they are cheap, but what about durability?
I alway always always learn new stuff with your videos !!!!
what horsepower do you recommend for a table saw? is 2HP enough for cutting 3/4" ply?
I think there is another very essential power tool – dust collector. It makes woodworking so less painful.
Hi Steve, yeah I’m just starting out, well a novice. If I buy these 7 tools that’s closing on $1000. Got only a Skill an jig. Might try another hobby. Thanks any way.
A decent mitre saw looks to be fairly expensive. Seems a bit of a waste to buy one if you’re also going to buy a table saw, which can do the same cuts.
I’m 11 and I have been wanting to try to woodwork and make awesome decorations for presents and for myself
And if I have any extra or want to make more I will sell them
Love the caffeine lol
Thanks man I really enjoyed this! What’s a good beginners project you recommend?
I tried to get your free guide. The send me the tool list link just took me to a 404 not found page.
This is pretty bad advice. Anyone interested in woodworking should start with a cheap used table saw with cast iron top and wings. A Jet contractor saw for example would be great. Next should be thickness planer. With these two tools and purchasing lumber S3S, 90% of projects can be made. Most experienced woodworkers use a miter saw as rough cuts for length and while everyone has one, it’s more of a luxury. Crosscuts should be done on the table saw for final cuts. Next would a jointer. Including things like a jig saw and drill is pretty silly…those are dirt cheap to begin with and can be really cheap used. This is more of a "so you think you might want to build something with wood" list. But I don’t really know who that fits. Stick to channels like the Woodwhisperer and Stumpy Nubs. Following this advice will result in purchasing the wrong shitty tools and having to replace them or simply start over.
ty a lot
What voltage drills do you recommend? Would 12V suffice?
Loved the explanations. thank you
What is the constant music in the bac ground Just for that reason i give this video a big fat F- IT REALLY SUCKS
I’m late to this video but i’ll put my two cents in. You need a drill but you don’t NEED an impact driver. Buy a 3/8 impact wrench and buy the adapters they make to drive screws. Take care of two things at once
Hey I’m comment 1 thousand
Hello future woodworkers
I got the Neanderthal package.
A No.4 plane, a few chisels, a mallet, a fine tooth handsaw, a steel ruler, a square and a few clamps. It all cost me about 100$!
I just finished my first piece, a 4 legged stool.
I literally made in my bedroom on the floor because i don’t have a workbench yet😂
It was hard and it took me quite a while,
but for a beginner it looks great!
Most of all it was satisfying to know you can still do it all without buying a bunch of machines and supplement them with time and extra elbow grease.
Of course I’m doing this as a hobby so this is very sufficient for me!
Out of miter, circle, or table saw, which one to get first to do some cross cuts for projects?
I bought a Ryobi 7 1/2" corded circular saw, recommended on the tool list, but the edge guide is impossible to find. I guess I’ll take my chances on an edge guide that looks similar. Can you recommend a substitute for Part #202218001 (the edge guide kit for this saw)? I found the dust nozzle, but it was hard to locate.
Is there really no need for a planar or jointer for woodworking?
Ok, so I have everything you listed and a little bit more. I’m ready to start upgrading some of my tools (drill press, router table, etc) and adding some other new options (bandsaw, lathe, planer, etc)
Can you do a video on your recommendations of what to get next please?
Hello. Have a question regarding storage of power tools. I’m new to using them and starting to get into woodworking. I live in wisconsin and am making a garage workshop. My garage is not insulated. During winter, is it ok to keep the tools in the garage. Not sure if that can damage them or not. Any advice? Thank You and I enjoy watching and learning from your videos Steve.
Steve, what are you thoughts on buying a Flip Over Miter/Table Saw as opposed to buying the two saws separately?
This is my favorite woodworking channel.
1:57 save some time!
Great video. Simple is always good, well done
hahha id bought my first miter saw 2 weeks ago, a 12 inch sliding, took it out of box set it up then took it back that day for a 10 inch compound …..its waaaay over kill for this
Great video!!
