Beginner's Guide to Start Woodworking NOW
Someone asked in a comment what advice I would give someone starting from the very beginning who wanted to get into woodworking. Although I tried to answer that person’s question as best I could in a reply, I felt like the topic really merited a full video. Hope you enjoy it!

Beuatiful female woodworker ever,,

Hi! Just found your channel earlier today and immediately liked it. I watched the mountains wall hanger you made, and it was gorgeous. I now just want to see you build more stuff, it’s inspiring
Genial !!
Thanks for sharing!
A good start could be repairing a piece of furniture and building something small for yourself.
I’d be careful with used pallets, because you possibly don’t know how and where they were used.
The wood could be contaminated with chemicals and who knows what.
When repuposing wood, look out for hidden nails or screws. Hitting even one nail could easily dull or break drill bits and saw blades.
Good advices
If your looking to buy used battery power tools check to make sure the company is still selling that style of battery and that you can find them at a reasonable price. Batteries don’t last forever, and if you can’t fine good replacements you will have a worthless tool.
Thank you

You definitely can’t go in thinking you’re going to be perfect on every project. Mistakes happen ALL the time to even the most seasoned woodworkers. You just have to learn from the mistakes (fixing them creates "design details" 😉) and move on. And one of the most important things I’ve learned is to stay focused and take your time. Both can lead to mistakes and/or injuries…ask me how I know about a shop-related injury from a lapse in concentration.

This is very helpful — thanks! 👍🏼
I landed up replacing my corded Bosch tools with Ryobi cordless as the Bosch broke (all too freequently, typically within a year or so of purchase but outside warranty). I watch channells that feature Festool etc., not envious, but thinking "how can I do that with the tools I have, or, wehat tools on my battery platform would I need to do that.
great channel thanks for inspiring me, I am beginning on this. Thank you
That chess table looks amazing! I don’t have a dedicated space, and so I store everything in my apartment and bring it to the rooftop whenever I’m going to work on something, so I totally agree with your advice on how to work with a reduced space. Thanks and keep it up!
I have power tools, but I have recently taken up hand tools. Chisels, hand planes, hand saws. Hey they work fine, are cheaper, and dont require electricity! I guess a battery drill and driver are worth the money. I work in my 2 car garage, on one side, for all my hobbies. build rex kreugers low workbench, cheap and very versatile.
Pallets stuck with me. I’ve seen some cool projects involving them. I’d like to get some of those mini tools (ie: table saw).
I love you 😊
Also very good youtube chanels are Rex Krueger and even one of the best chanel is Paul Sellers.
Good Advice!
good afternoon!
I’m Alécio, I live in Florianópolis – Santa Catarina – Beasil. I love your videos, I don’t understand what you’re saying, but I want to leave here all the affection I have for your work. thank you, have a nice weekend
Buy the best tool you can afford on tools you will be using most often. Convenience will make projects more enjoyable. I’d recommend buying a good brand corded vs a cheap brand cordless. You will get a better tool, not waste money on junk short life batteries, it will last longer, have more power and most of the time they can be more affordable.
qué ojitos tan lindos
You are so beautiful 😍 I am stuck on your channel🥰
Very nice
Thanks for encouraging beginners!
a stable workbench is so important. i make nothing without it.
Consider investing in a good scroll saw. It will take your wood art to the next level. Love the content. Keep up the great work.
A very inspiring video for the novice diyer
I’m a big fan of ryobi mainly because of the battery platform but the price is really good also.
Mr Ramsey does great videos
As does all the others you recommend
Thanks for the video
What is the material that you used for the wall of your warehouse? It looks like light but hard… 🙄
