Yep, you nailed it.

Hi Billy, Good job there mate look amazing, just like your self making things in the workshop but more often repairing some thing or just tinkering, catch you soon take care

Lovely pair of tables and a fantastic choice in whiskey 😂

I know you say you’re just a hobbyist but you are a master- these are AMAZING!!! So beautiful! 👏 Along with Weber Woodshop and Steve Ramsey, I also follow WhosTheVoss bcuz he’s silly and funny but has good ideas. Also Steve Bell, Shara Woodshop Diaries (I was inspired by her garden arbor to make one), Barrovian Made (he’s also learning as he goes), Matthew Peech, DIYMontreal, and of course the master himself- Mr. Paul Sellers. But I started out with furniture repair and restoration and Transcend Furniture Gallery, Mayfield Restorations and Flipping Drawers helped me do things correctly. I love that Shelley wants to do her own thing in woodworking- my advice would be to start simple and practice, practice, practice! Almost everything starts with a box shape so that’s the best place to start. (I started with a wonky riser for my counter top spices😐) As for Stanley- he proves he’s one smart dog being by the fire on a cold day! 😆🐶💖 Awesome video, Billy- I love these! Definitely Asian inspired! 👍🌟

These tables are absolutely stunning. I love them. Great job. Gosh you are coming along in leaps and bounds fair play to ya.

Those look nice, so of course Shelley claimed them. You're going to run out of space for all the things she claims before long. Here's a tip: The pocket hole screws may be okay for these small table tops. However, you will want to consider using Z or Figure 8 table top fasteners for larger or any future projects. If the top can't move freely it will cause gaps in the joints of the base. Fasteners allow for expansion and contraction of the top due to temp and humidity changes without stressing the base joinery.

Belting pair of side tables. Just one bit of advice, if you stick your pencil and sharpener in the turnup on your hat, they are always with you. I used to spend ages looking for pencils, i have lugs like plug, so its nigh on impossible to put my pencil behind my ear 😂

Great job and video looking great Good contrast of colors Keep building Cheers

Very nice mate I like them I use a lot ov recycled wood i fined or free on Facebook enyhaw just the right amount of time the video belting man👍

Beautiful!🤩

Love them they look amazing

gotta give you credit not to bad for a DIYer I have gone back in time I try not to use any electric tools I Kinda gave them up when I retired from being a carpenter and cabinet maker. where are you from in the UK

I have found that when finishing a project before staining spritz, the parts with water raise the grain & give another sand. That should eliminate having to sand through your stain.

Love your vids bud, just be careful of them baggy sleeves on the table saw mate.

As a "long" subscriber/watcher of your channel I can tell ....... there's an improvement in your projects to be seen. A simple set of (side) tables but very effective and your "trademark" goes very well with the Japanese style. Btw ...... I'm from the Netherlands 😂🤣

Near cardiff, Billy. What's your shop called on etsy?

I agree with you! Wood working is an addiction and it is all about the process! Great project! Great job by Shelley on the staining! The two tones really pop! From San Antonio Texas USA where yesterday might’ve been our last 90+ day. Ready for the cooler weather!

Look really Good. What is your Web site

Great video Billy, love how you explain the process and how to make it.

I love'em I live in Eat Texas, USA Love your video.

Just started watching before heading down into my basement shop to keep cleaning. Shop is kind of torn apart and trying to fit tools in and get way too much crap my father had out. Sadly a damp payment is not kind to tools and 30 year old coffee cans full of every nail and screw he could find. Then ya tell me to get off my couch and get into my shop! lol the kick I needed! Vermont in the US here. Love the vids!

They look amazing Billy,I love the Japanese theme

Great!

Hi Billy if your tape (rule) is same as mine the numbers on the back are conversions inches millimeter and the small set at the bottom are Drill size for Taps. As I have been going to Japan for 20+ years I now find the tools are far superior than western style. The best thing about pull saws is there are always the job where you need to cut close to a wall or tight space but cannot do it or find it extremely awkward if right handed. Using pull saw solves this problem and you will find it very easy to cut. They do have secondhand stores over there that sell tools of all types so well worth a visit if you can get there, I use INAI which is similar to our B&Q but far superior

Cable charging tidy. You could have one of each cables (usb b, c, micro) coming out of the holes and a single plug/charging point at the back.

Happy birthday!!!🎉

Great info thanks for sharing enjoyed it Cheers

Love your common touch when explaining things, helps me lots. Im a very novice woodworker, but video's like your , help me immensely. All the best, Richard from Goole, East Riding of Yorkshire

Hi Billy, Good review on these tools can't go wrong Japanese quality, thanks for sharing you thoughts on this. Catch you tomorrow mate

I just bought an electronic caliper for $10 at harbor freight. I wasn’t sure how useful it would be but now I’ve used it several times since buying it. I bought the rasp on your recommendation and it has worked well on several cedar jack o lantern projects. Thanks for the great suggestions!

A light feature is a good idea. Or maybe use them to store tea bags or bags of coffee beans. Either way they look really nice!

And ……. let Billy know where you’re all from🤔👍 (Billy’s back-up) 🤣

We Love new Tools, Thanks for sharing 👌

Hi guys and welcome to this bitesize video.. I recently bought some Japanese tools and I thought I’d share them with you, great quality and superb value for money. I’ve left a link to them below for you to check them out 👌 Once again you amazing lot thank you for watching and don’t forget to subscribe 😇 Shinto Rasp www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B001WHOIMG/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_55FKYVF18AS7G4CC183Q?linkCode=ml2&tag=thewoodjunki2-21 Shinwa rule 30 / 15cm amzn.to/486iAhG Shinwa mitre / tri square amzn.to/407E3om Shinwa callipers amzn.to/3Yak0TE #makers #woodworking #diy #tools #handmade #quality #shed #tool

Drill more holes on every side (1, 2, 3 (already there), 4, 5 and 6 holes and use them as oversized dice for a game in the garden together with Shelley, kids or grandkids.

Interesting pieces! I like them! I'd maybe try a candle in them. Or a plant pot.

Hi Billy, They look good mate, like the idea using two different coloured stains. These are nice book stands, another great project as always a great video, take care mate. Shaun still in Wrexham

These came out beautiful! Never underestimate simple, classic design! The legs are astounding! 💖 Stanley doesn’t go out in the cold- I can’t even remember when I didn’t step out in the cold! It’s been triple digit weather practically since April! And I think it’s great that Shelley wants to have a go at woodworking! Good for her! Make sure she knows the basic safety rules! I know she would love tools for Christmas- along with some nice thingys! Great video! 👏👍🌟

Nice job, they look good

I've just watched you cutting mitres on your tablesaw and must tell you to use the extention bar at the side of the main guide as you were putting pressure at the rear of your work and lifting the piece away from your blade. Just play it back and you will see what I mean keep up the good work.
