Watching from Finland. Found your channel a couple of days ago so a new subscriber. I like technology in all forms and got all kinds of tools myself but very interesting to see the really basic form of woodworking, although I wouldn’t want to go through a scaffolding foot with a bit-brace :-).
Greeting from Philippines šµš
Hey Rex, Love your content. Your "Don’t waste your money" advice has held me in good stead. You can tack up a flag of Australia for extra representative goodness.

Hey from Australia. Only just started watching your content, finding it very informative. Keep up the great work. Iām planning to build your Quick Stack Workbench but will modify it slightly to suit.
Bonjour du Canada, thank you for the video, much appreciated from a newbie to woodworking.
Hi Rex I am Dr Suresh Narayanan from India. I like and benefitted from your videos very much in keeping woodworking as my hobby. Thank you.
Since you ask, I am resident in New Zealand (although was born in England). Our flag is similar to but distinct from that of Australia.
I”ve owned a fairly flash looking tri-square for about fifty years – mahogany handle with diamond shaped brass inlays and brass edge; no brand name apparent, and I think it could be something like a Marples knock off. It wasn’t cheap cheap though.
I’ve long suspected and more recently confirmed that it was out of true. My most recent attempt to quantify the degree of error came up with an estimated 0.5 degree. It doesn’t sound much, but it’s enough to throw things out. In recent times, I’ve been measuring it both ways and averaging. Time to let go, I can see, of the nostalgic connection. Thanks for your input in this video, and many others that I’ve watched since i discovered you a few days ago..
Iam from Indonesia,
I learn and enjoying your video

I am about to order some hand held power tools in about 2 days. I am retired, but I want to.make small things to sell to supplement or replace my meager social security stipend. So, to help me learn, I have been watching a whole lot of these woodworking videos. So, something interesting happened today. I was thinking about making some wooden cigarette cases like the one I bought about two and a half years ago. I bought it shortly before I quit smoking. When I got it, I thought it was beautiful and flawless…a work of art. I hadn’t looked at it closely for a really long time, but when I looked at it today, I noticed all the imperfections, of which there are quite a few. I know that watching all these videos is not going to automatically make me a skilled woodworker, and that I will need practice, but what the videos DID DO, was to show me what excellent woodworking looks like and how to recognize poor quality work. About 3 or 4 years ago, someone gave me this beautiful carved box that I thought was a pure treasure. When I looked at it today, I could also see some flaws in it. Not as much as the cigarette case, but enough.
Watching from Finland!!
This was so damn useful! thnx
Nice video mate
Colombia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am watching you from Serbia (Europe). Thank you.

Hello from Mexico! Love your channel!
If you need a big square to check big projects just make one using lengths of 2×1 in 3 4 5 ratio following Pythagorean principles, just need a ruler, saw, a hammer and a few nails!
First video of yours Iāve watched. Really liked the content and your āstyleā.I had decide to subscribe to your channel before I was even 1/4 into the vid, but the way you finished acknowledging the presence(and import), of non-U.S. folks sealed the deal. Although I am in the U.s. myself (Colorado), the Amurcan tendency to believe we are the only people on the planet is, obviously, absurd. So, thanks for that bit too!
Hi Rex, thanks for asking, IĀ“m from Brasil (Brazil). Love your content and I have a suggestion. I donĀ“t know how it works, but I think it would help if you allow automatic closed captions on your videos. You english sounds it preatty clear to me, but It could help someone else. Although, sometimes, even I could use a little help because there are some english tool names which IĀ“m not familiary with. So, closed captions would help me understand better or find faster on the web If I could read theirs names too. Thanks.
