    My father and I had planned on combining his master carpentry skills with my metal working. I start machining and gunsmithing school this fall and sadly I inherited his tools before we got the chance to combine those skills. So, this being one of the many carpentry tools I’ve never used I find these basic information videos very helpful. Short, sweet and to the point.

    Thank you! I love the fact u didn’t turn this into a 10 min video. You explain everything simple and straight to the point. I just finished a 12 min video and was still scratching my head. I hit the 👍s up and subscribed. Hopefully the rest of ur videos are uniquely the same.

    I am new to the router world and wanting to learn as much as possible. I’ve since picked up a Makita trim router kit and a Porter Cable router kit. I know there is so much you can do with a router.
    So I just found your YouTube videos and really enjoy learning from them.
    I do have so many questions and just don’t know where to start. If possible it would really be helpful to chat. Thanks Mario

    I’m new to this channel. The only experience I have with woodworking was from junior high shop class (too many years ago) and I always wanted to learn and try. Even though some tools intimidate me. But with your tutorials I feel like I’m getting a clear lesson on techniques. You have a new subscriber!! FYI I’ve been binge watching your channel since 3am 🙂



  24. mgnoodle on April 20, 2022 at 6:35 pm

    I know this sounds dumb but do flush bits come in different lengths? I’m new to wood working and routing



  25. Jonny DIY on April 20, 2022 at 6:36 pm

    Thanks for sharing. What brand bits do you recommend 🤔



  26. John Lambe on April 20, 2022 at 6:39 pm

  37. Paul Norris on April 20, 2022 at 6:57 pm

    Simple mistake but – Against the rotation is Anti – clockwise! 😬



  38. Charles Fedorka on April 20, 2022 at 6:57 pm

    Very informative. I like the way you provide knowledge with repetitiveness. You pinpoint and offer suggestions as you move through the video. It is easier for me to learn this way. Thank you, and well done.



  39. igi tsygy on April 20, 2022 at 6:57 pm

    I use to put a piece of plastic tube (snug fit) on the bearing for first pass with that edge beading bit. Or bigger bearing.



  40. Paul Beaver on April 20, 2022 at 7:00 pm

    I need to cut a circular groove (to fit over the opening of a barrel). What would be the best but to use?
    And btw I really like your presentation. Very easy to follow your explanations. Keep making videos 👍🏽

  46. Shaik Sarmath on April 20, 2022 at 7:04 pm

    Which bit is suitable to make a 8inch hole in a plywood? And do u have any tutorial on cutting hole using palm router!



  47. Zoe Higel on April 20, 2022 at 7:05 pm

    I’m getting ready to use my handheld router for the first time to do a round over. The grain direction is a problem because this is an oval and it’s laminated wood so the grains are going all different directions. How do I do that safely?



  48. alan morgan on April 20, 2022 at 7:05 pm

    Can you show how to flush fit a speaker please, I’m doing a project on a speaker build and got the measurement wrong for a 6.5 speaker.
