I am an engineer by day and a woodworker by night… usually after the kids are in bed and before the neighbors call the cops!
I have a passion for building things out of wood and all things woodworking. I am always looking for new projects that look fun and challenging. My woodworking inspiration comes from my kids, my wife, and the forests around my house. I consider myself a serious hobbyist and I hope you can learn something and get inspired from the projects and mistakes that I make. I will also show you how I organize and work in my small shop in 1 bay of my garage. I will share videos of my past, current, and future woodworking projects with the goal of getting you out in the shop making sawdust!

Not trying to be rude, but Starrett is pronouced Stair-it..not Star-it. Been using Starrett Combination Squraes for years. They are very accurate, actual the gold standard when it comes to combination squares. Company started making them back in 1880. Never used the plastic one you have, but I’m sure they are accurate too.
Love the idea with the clamp and the vacuum hose. Have to get me some silicone brushes too!
Great video. I use silicone pastry brushes for glue spreading, much cheaper than silicone glue brushes!
Great Video! I might have to pick up a few of those items for myself. One thing I use with every project is my 6 inch combo square. It’s just a cheapo one from big box store, so I make sure its staying square about once a week, but I find myself grabbing it more often than any of my larger more expensive combo squares.
And to spin off of your remote start for your vacuums, I grabbed a 110/220v rated remote start off Amazon for less than $25. I use a 2hp DC so needed something that could handle the higher voltage. The relay is inline so I had to do just a bit of wiring, which was no problem, but they have plug in ones similarly priced as well.
Spring operated center punch👌1/4 X 2 inch aluminum straight edge (4feet long) all essential
Where did you get the depth stop? Thanks in advance.
For all the years I’ve been wood working, I’ve never thought of using a silicon glue brush. And yes, I’ve glue together many regular brush fibers by forgetting to clean the brush. Great tips! Thanks for posting.
As always these tools look very useful and give me ideas on projects of things to make.
Not trying to be rude, but….where’s the Festool?
😘
that depth stop is really great for making repeated countersink holes! thanks for the info!
One of the handiest items I’ve found is rare earth button magnets.
They act as keepers for my machinist square that is parked on my router case and keep steel rules organized and quick to access.
Is it .002 or .0002?
The Veritas saddle square is one that I use a lot. I picked it up at Woodsmith for $18
Agreed on all tools, almost identical to mine.
Great video thanks for sharing.
You can also spread glue with a silcone basting brush. When the wife asks where the basting brush went just say, "I dunno."
Wooden screw clamps are also useful – great for holding angled items like table legs. I use my 6" double square a LOT – more then my other t-squares.
Great reviews and recommendations, thanks for sharing
Keep the great videos coming…I am really enjoying them!
Nice tips, thanks
Those remotes are super handy! Put a small carabiner on it and clip it to one of your belt loops.
Thank you for always putting out useful videos. I will add, machinist squares are a lot cheaper than woodworking squares. I bought a set for a faction of the price that you will find for woodworking.
I have a dual remote. one channel for the dust collection and one for the saw. why the saw. If I haven’t used it in a while, I don’t want any surprises on the first start. or if I’m doing a new setup or jjig, same thing. no surprises. I stand outside my garage and fire it up.
plz take all of my money lol
great items. thanks!
You can really cheap out on the silicone glue brush by getting the silicone basting brush in the grocery store. Essentially the same thing, and really cheap. I use ’em all the time.
Ha! I use the exact same power remote for dust collect and table saw. Love it.
Those Jorgensen squeeze clamps can also latch together end to end to double the length. So you take two 12 inch clamps and connect the ends together to get a single 24 inch clamp… Its super convenient when you need one or two more longer ones. They (the Jorgeys) all do this, so you can take two 24s and make a 48, or two 6s to make another 12. Super feature.
Of the 4 of those that I use, I absolutely agree with you. So maybe I should try out the other 4. 🙂
.002 is two thousandths, not two ten thousandths
