Seems like the pine is the problem to me…. Try a hard wood instead

This guy's whole demeanor is just stellar. Thank you.

Inspired

love the lighting, love the machinery. Love it all. Welldone!

That chain mortiser is quite a find. I’ve only seen portable ones. Great for Timber framing.

11:04 be honest you wanted all your tools to be green too 😂

awesome, thanks for sharing

Very nice shop looking very good!!!👌👍💯

Awesome shop. you got some nice industrial tools. 3 years, you're just getting started. That's awesome.

Nice looking shop mate!

FYI, I have the same Bosch miter saw and bought a dust shroud from Shop Nation and it is awesome, so another option, he has them for many other saws as well.

Very well done, thanks for sharing.

Keep going brother! This was a great video! Smoking my pipe on my front porch while watching and thoroughly enjoyed the content. I’ll be on the hunt for a good mentor now. I don’t know you but John 13:34-35 comes to mind 😉

Great shop. I can tell you put a lot of work into it

Moving to a 24x24 shop, so thanks for the ideas. Enjoy your next shop setup. I look forward to seeing how you set it up. Be well.

I recently sold my Powermatic chain mortiser, same as yours. I didn't notice the gravity feed oiler on top of yours that lubes the chain. That sure was a loud machine.

Great tips, especially using pine, I use pine for everything!! Sells good and great product.

As a shop teacher of 20 years teaching metal and woodworking, I just jolted hard when you put the caliper on the workpiece as it was still moving. Faster? Yes. Risky? Heck Yeah. The extra few seconds to stop the spindle and wait for it to stop could save you an injury. As stated already, Face Shield on, but also, short sleeves and remove that wedding ring! Sorry to your wife, but as I tell mine, would you prefer I lose my ring or my hand? Just looking out for yah my man.

Alan Lacer if you want skew teacher. He says to touch down with the short corner first and contact more blade edge after. It helps. I don’t think there are any skew cuts that you do not want to keep the toe part in contact. Maybe some weird rare cases but probably riskier too.

I've been woodworking since before your time. All I can say is you did good kid.

So that's why I was dulling my chisels every few minutes with my lathe, I was scraping maple rather than cutting it

Good tips Joel. Hopefully your channel will catch on.

Where did you buy saw from? What’s the model number?

Might try cutting the corners with a saw

I don't do so much spindle turning, I mostly do bowls, but your tool rest looked too high. Try to set it so the tip of your gouge comes just about to the center of the piece your turning. Also make sure you angle the gouge in the direction you're moving. Turning is super fun once you get the hang of it so keep at it

Very good points, especially about pine wood. I love pine and easy to finish. Good luck with your channel. 🇨🇦💝👍

I have no experience turning anything, but I have run into issues before practicing hand tool stuff on pine only to find out that the issues I was having was because it's a hard wood to work with.

I've been turning for years and it's a very fun hobby/profession. I would suggest getting a face shield to go with the glasses and add in more lights. You may want to try carbide tools (I use both). A leather or similar "smock" will help keep off wood chips.

Very sound advice, unfortunately I didn’t watch it before I bought a not cheap table saw. But will take this advice to other purchases.

Just came across your channel. Love it man. Starting my woodworking journey now and found your video very helpful. Thank you Sir!

Just started wood working and it’s a challenge because I’m trying to be accurate and efficient( efficient is a hard word for me as of now) but I do take things day by day and try to understand what I need to cut down on time. Recently I got an affordable table saw and man have I been missing out. Like you said get the stuff that will help you out.

As a new woodworker with a new shop, I was definitely caught up in the UA-cam latest greatest tool hysteria until I realized most of these guys were sponsored by tool companies. No issues with that at all, it’s good to make a buck, but your common sense and honest approach is refreshing! And you’re a fellow Canadian! 🇨🇦 Keep up the great work 💪

Please fit the riving knife back on to the sawbench. It is very dangerous to use without it.

Great tips Joel. I’ve been woodworking for over 40 years and agree w/ everything on your list. Never stop learning (that’s why I watched your video). I’d add a 6th item: build your skills by making shop “furniture.” Stands, carts, extension tables, drawers, etc. Designing and building shop furniture is a great skill-builder while reducing the risk of failure/ criticism. You’ll also likely learn how to fix mistakes. Since we all make mistakes, knowing how to fix them, or make them less noticeable is a valuable skill. You have an excellent presentation style, that lots of UA-camrs lack. Best wishes for success in your making & content creation journey.

1:37 thank you for sharing your thoughts about getting started with used tools. What in your opinion is a good way to find good used tools. I see used tools on Kijiji but I don’t know how good they are and I don’t have the skills to buy something and repair it myself.

Thanks for this. Your points really resonate with where I'm at right now! I also purchased the Finishing book as that's my biggest weakness right now.

Great video you will go far in this you do understand when and how to buy equipment most go broke right off the bat we all love the tools but you got to love the work first and I loved the shop video as well

Hi Joel, great segment! I appreciate your common sense approach and honesty.

Look forward to some build videos. B

I subscribed after watching this video. Excellent video and great advice. Looking forward to watching more of your videos and learning from your channel.

Hey Joel, wanna be my mentor. :D

Absolutely spot on re. Pine. It's a beautiful and versatile wood. Saying it's bad is just plain ignorant. Many incredible pieces of historic architecture and furniture have been built from pine wood.

Great video nice shop set up

So good, thx

Subscribed! Looking forward to more videos

Hi Joel I just watched your video and I think I found the weakness in my shop….. it’s me. I used to do the same thing as you. ( making furniture). But in my advanced years I’m only making small projects now. I wish you luck in your business.

Good advice and straightforward delivery is great. BUT... please do not demonstrate such dangerous behavior on the jointer and tablesaw. Right about the time you mention dangerous tools you are face jointing pine without any form of safety aid (about 2:12). Hit a little punky spot in the wood and watch it disappear under your hand and you're right on the blades. Use a grout float from Home depot- about 8 bucks. It stays rubbery and doesn't clog with dust the way the cheap ones that come with the jointer will. Worse yet, and much more likely to cause injury, at 2:31 your saw blade is too high, and your bare hand is pushing the wood through the saw WITH A PUSH STICK VISIBLE, SITTING UNUSED ON THE FENCE. Over 30,000 tablesaw injuries are reported each year in the United States. Common sense practices can reduce this number greatly. Sorry for all caps, but as a hand surgeon who has operated on dozens of tablesaw injuries over the last 25 years, I think it is best to retain ownership of your fingers.

I'm with you on the sanding, I hate it! And it really slows me down. Good tip.

Great video...keep it up!
