Im situated in South Africa, and literally everything here is just soooooo expensive, a miter saw here in South Africa is like 6000 rand or like 4000, so it is hard to get into it here, although, I like doing woodwork, it is much more expensive here than in America, so this video is manely for Americans and maybe others also.
the only thing i ever made out of wood a basically a wooden bar with a hinge attached to it
lol, loved the "woodworking safer than driving, but not as safe as not woodworking."

Love the smell of fresh cut wood.
i’ve learned that woodworking is defined as the act of making wood into useful or decorative items. It involves cutting shaping and joining wood to create decorative or useful things.Also i learned the difference between a maker in a wood maker. Maker is a relatively new term that has cropped up in the past decade. A woodworker is a maker who is mostly interested in learning and refining the craft of creating new things out of wood .
Help! My question is simple, how, exactly do I begin? This isn’t the video for someone who knows nothing (zero) about this stuff. My late grandfather was a builder (among other things), and I’ve recently come across his old material. There’s a lot of wood, a few different saws, a bunch of other things and a drill, but don’t even know what all of this stuff is. I know I need a new door for the root cellar and I would like some raised garden beds, but I don’t know what this stuff is, how to turn it on, how to use it, or even if it’s safe. Help please.
Never put an ‘s’ on LEGO!
My father-in-law passed away and left me a table saw, bam saw, drill press and more. This is exactly what I was looking for. I’m Disabled from chronic pain from back surgeries and need more physical and mental work . Playlist is saved!
do companies hire cabinet makers
"the affordability in tools and materials" me in 2021 :'(
Steeeeeve I said ya so many times in the first 30 seconds! You’re the best!
I just love the way you explain things. Thanks, Steve.
Why can’t I start with hand tools instead of expensive and dangerous power tools?
Lol his intro to the video was completely spot on! That’s exactly why I clicked on the video haha
I started woodworking 3 weeks ago, and really found myself a new hobby! In the past I worked in a furniture store so I already loved a good looking piece of wood. I emigrated on a tiny island in the Caribbean, and we don’t have a nice furniture store over here, so I decided that I wanted to make some stuff myself. My first project was a tiny little side table to raise up a plant(ended up as a table for my partners Xbox…) and my second project last week was a kitty ‘bathroom’, a cabinet to hide the litterboxes in. Still super proud of the result. So last week I bought myself a mitersaw and a jigsaw as present. The list of upcoming projects is already made!
Just found your channel and already got quite some good advise of stuff were I can make improvements!
Keep doing what you’re doing!
Nobody cares about diversity, lib
I whant a this work can you help me please
Ron Swanson brought me here
Fantastic video Steve, I’m a 22 year old student teacher looking to pick up a hands-on hobby to escape essay and writing hell. This was one of the most uplifting and encouraging videos I’ve seen on youtube in ages, thank you so much for your awesome work!
Hey man, great video, really inspiring. Wanna check out some more of your videos now.
"scroll saws are fairly cheap"
*proceeds to show one for 130 dollars*
I still live with my dad, and he’s got 1 metric boat load of tools etc.. Not a lot of space but that’s fine. But every time I want to make something he keeps saying no and denying me access to those tools, even though I really want to make things, it’s such a bummer

I needed this, thanks!
3:58 why would you call out Stumpy Nubs so hard, what did the man ever do to you
I bought a 12" Dewalt miter saw because the 10" was $30 more.
The comment about a “cheap affordable material” didn’t age well at all…late 2021 here.
So I discovered this channel a while ago, and did some stuff, and now I have again some free time, so I made a bench. It’s not fancy at all, it’s made from repurposed pinewood and it’s got tons of marks I couldn’t removed, but I can sit on it with the person I love and watch the sun rise. I built it as a coffer before installing the back support, so I can put away blankets and whatnot in it.
I’m writing this comment as the first coat of finish dries, we applied it together this morning.
Thank you Steve, for your advices and generally not being a woodworking snob. That really encouraged me to start building stuff. Thanks a lot.
Awesome and encouraging video.

In terms of "what is woodworking", I think this is the best video out there. Woodworking is my main hobby, and I find myself watching this video again and again.
Thanks for all the inspiration, Steve.
Lego
I felt as if he perfectly described me in the intro
Thank you for the video!
Love this! Thanks for explaining why I have this weird new obsession. Can’t seem to stop, even my failed projects are fun.
I’m so happy I found this channel! I’m so inspired and can’t wait to learn woodworking!
fantastic
Damn, rip affordable wood
love the energy you give thanks for the video!
I’ve watched this video a few times and always find it to be inspirational. A good reminder as to why I do it.
Gay woodwork
Your passion and energy brought a smile to my face. I can’t wait until I can start to do stuff like this!
I’m 22 and I want to learn woodworking to make a bedframe. Not to save money obviously. But because the design of bedframe that I want is literally nowhere to be found other than inside of my head. Going to go check out your other videos!
“Wood is an affordable-“
Hold up wait a minute WHAT DID HE SAYYYY??? AFFORDABLE????
You are awesome! Helped me so much!
Thank God for you! Finally, somewhere to start. 👍🏻
As a kid when I saw the movies or show with the highschool kids doing woodworking classes I ne so intrigued
I got sick with the flu early during the pandemic and even though I didn’t have covid my job made me quarantine for a week. I got super into your videos while at home and have since made some small projects, some dining chairs, and I’m going to make an entertainment center.
