    This reminds me of my first project a long time ago. My tools were a hand saw, hammer, nail set and a framing square. I made a desk for a friend and 50 years later it is still being used.

    Not only are you a woodworker, you're a welder as well! I remember you making those pieces of furniture out of steel & wood back when you had your apartment - I'm impressed. You're too cute climbing your little self up on your workbench to get the job done!!! Happy New Years!

      @Grampiswoodshop I'm not a hater. I genuinely love these videos I watch many different UA-camrs videos from all over
      I'm just pointing out that the video name says 3 tools and makes a video using "optional extras," so technically, it's not making something using 3 tools

    • @Grampiswoodshop
      @Grampiswoodshop 17 днів тому +4

      @ I didn’t even see your comment until you pointed it out, so I wasn’t directly referring to you. But now that you brought it up, you are not getting Sam’s point. She is explaining how you can build the project with just the three tools, as she uses the optional tools. She isn’t saying that those tools are necessary.

I like seeing different tools and what they do. ❤

    Requirements for being a real woodworker: have wood, make things out of wood... That's it, that's the list! Stop gate keeping woodworking, people 🤦🏻‍♂️🙄 Your way is NOT the *only* way! In fact, if you're here trying to claim anyone else is not a woodworker, your way probably doesn't actually exist, you're most likely just a troll

      The problem is… what she is saying isn’t wrong. What others are saying isn’t wrong. People should not diminish the “work” of others period. People should not also diminish the heights to which people can attain in a craft, trade, or profession. There are defiantly levels of skill and ability. Speaking as a third generation professional carpenter and cabinet maker.

      This is so true. There is a difference between a woodworker and a professional joiner/carpenter.
      I am a woodworker who has built plenty of things out of wood that I'm pretty proud of, I don't do fancy joints of a joiner/carpenter, but I can guarantee that my things will hold up just as well with screws and glue.

They are usually miserable with their lives, so they try to make everyone miserable or feel as inadequate as they do about themselves. Pay them no mind at all. You are legit whether you're a woodworker, diyer, crafter, or whatever your title might be. All I know is that your work is amazing!! Keep it up and know that what you do in life is done to make yourself happy, and who cares what anyone else thinks. Do you and do it loud and proud!!!

    You sure look like a woodworker -- you made something out of wood :) I love my Domino but I could not have afforded it without my CNC machine which paid for the Domino and my Saw Stop. I seriously started out with my dad's 50 year old circular saw, jig saw, framing square and hammer. I still occasionally use them when I am think about him -- lost him almost 44 years ago when I was 17. Keep doing what you are doing what you are doing!!!

    Love the build and the idea about it. But talking about a 3 tool project with ~$650 in kreg jigs isn't hitting right for me. I'd have loved to see a full kreg to the max build AND a back to basics build as two separate videos (because any excuse for more of your videos!)

    • @alexispennings380
      @alexispennings380 14 днів тому

      I agree. I think the intention was good and she does need to make money with her videos (hence the kreg commercial) but might have been good to show it both ways: beginner and only 3 tools vs simple but with helpful additions.

    Great project, Love the workshop. Not sure if you have tried this yet but eventually those rockler clamps get covered in glue and cause uneven glue ups, a cheap easy way to get them all clean again is use a pvc pipe, cap one end permanently, fill it with vinegar and soak the clamp over night. all of the glue will dissolve and clamps are brand new. you can temporarily cap the top and leave the vinegar in the pvc to reuse for about a month before it loses it's ability to dissolve the glue.

    I have had a bench with shoe storage under it in my Amazon wishlist for over a year with the same slatted front vibe, and this makes me want to try to build it. Surely, this will hold together better than boxed stuff using those cam lock screws that never seem to tighten completely or stay tight.

    If you make things out of wood you are a woodworker. If you get paid to make things out of wood you are a professional woodworker.
    If you get paid to make a three tool build video and actually accomplish it while still using a couple of grand worth of accessories you are a professional UA-camr. 😂✌🏻
    Seriously, a couple of those things you used cost more than my current table saw.
    Happy you are back at it and seemingly happy. Thanks for another great video.

    • @diyhuntress
      @diyhuntress  17 днів тому +1

      Ahaha. This one made me chuckle. 😂
      I think really the only "costly" accessory I used was the MortiseMate (which, like I mentioned, is totally optional). But, the rest of the accessories you can find for under $100 (some under $50), especially if you opt in for the smallest pocket hole jig). But, all of the optional accessories I used combined are welllll under thousands of dollars. They don't even add up to $1k, let alone thousands. I'm trying to make these builds approachable for smaller shops. Not scare anyone away.
      Happy to be back! Thanks for the good laugh. 😂

    • @cydrych
      @cydrych 17 днів тому

      @ yeah that MortiseMate is super cool. But for that price I’d just use a dowel jig. Then again I don’t do a lot of cabinet work so it wouldn’t be worth it to me but I can see how it would come in handy for anyone who makes a lot of box shaped objects and frames. My next woodworking project is going to be a cedar smokehouse for cold smoking cheese. I’m hoping to get it done before spring so I can get a bunch of uses out of it before it gets too hot outside in the summer.

    Looks great! A little suggestion for the slats; having spots of CA glue and a bead of wood glue would remove the need for a nail gun, and make the slats affixed more firmly to the wood for the future. Besides that, I leaned quite a bit, tempted to do these kind of doors on my next project!

    Referring to the nail gun you didn't use.
    An alternative to nails is to drill a pilot hole, and use either 1/8 inch dowels, bamboo skewers, or toothpicks as dowels.

    This was great and feels so attainable! This is such a wild coicidence. I've been looking for a cabinet that is 100% this style (slat doors and everything!) for awhile but everything that is affordable is just such poor quality MDF and the rest is incredibly cost prohibitive.
    Please do more videos like this, I find it super helpful as I would like to get started in making things but am pretty nervous. If you're looking for suggestions too - I'd love to learn more about selecting different kinds of woods/plywood for projects like this (something like budget friendly vs upgrade, but accessible vs oh u fancy).
    Thank you for being you and for sharing your knowledge with us. Hope 2025 brings you lots of joy, peace, and a happy heart.

    Shop is looking incredible!
    Also, the cabinet looks great, it would be a perfect design for something that needs ventilation👍
