my husband passed away 10 months ago today. I found your channel, and I don’t have anyone to fix things for me or do things around the house or if I need something made, he’s not here to do it for me and he was my handyman. So anyway, I found your channel and I’ve learned a lot, so thank you. This video is a big help, while he has a lot of tools I don’t know what most of them do, I flyby seat of my pants and just try to get it to work to the best of my ability. So thank you just taught me a lot the last couple months.
Hey, that's how I learned. Got a lot of tools passed down from my grandpa and there were so many odd things I had no idea. Started googling, watching videos and what not. I use a lot kf them now. Jist keep at it and don't be to hard on yourself like I was. Kept telling myself I'm not smart enough or uild nice things for this type of tool but, I am, and I do now. Comes in time. Be safe.
Sounds like a great way to honor his memory too, props to you for just going for it👍
@@denios36 thank you so much. While his loss is the hardest thing i’ve ever had to deal with bc we r both fairly young, our families have been friends since b4 we were born, and. we planned on growing old together and watching our grades grow when they come. but the plans have changed and while he has some tools (he was a tile expert and built kitchen cabinets from scratch) but he always worked for someone bc where we live we didn’t have the room for the tools he needed. so i hope i’m making him proud …….
@@MNatale425 Even through your hardship, you've managed to create this new bond, that you can pour love, dedication and remembrance in.
You have a beautiful heart. Thank you for sharing, this has changed my day.
Bless ya. Keep up the good work and there's always loads of good videos on UA-cam. We're all always learning 👍
Great tip with using a card scraper to remove extra glue.
For your next project, it would be awesome if you guys built a small trebuchet or catapult.
Fisher’s shop is a really good channel that has a video for a trebuchet if you’re just looking for a good video
Gotta be a trebuchet. Catapults are trash.
@@justinmorgan5073I was going to suggest it! 😂
@@justinmorgan5073 Thanks, just watched it, good video. I kinda want to buy that cnc machine he was using, it looks like a good size for a reasonable price.
Would love to see it with some of your own beams, I know you slab most of your logs but would love to see Dr hank McCoy slice up some beams for use in future tables too, maybe when you add your kiln
Lot of banging for the bucks ... great video ,..., CHEERS !
The digital calipers work well, but honestly the dial calipers with a analog dial with fractions on them are king. Worth checking out.
One often overlooked setup tool in the woodshop is the welders magnetic square thingie (no, I don't know the name). I keep one on my jointer. Since it's magnetic, I just put it on the bed and then push it into the fence. Nice and square every time. Yes, I got that idea off UA-cam, just don't remember where.
Another great addition to the under $20 list is 1 2 3 blocks. I use them on nearly every project
Yeah, I've been looking for those in aluminum or stainless steel, but couldn't find them yet... If I buy them in carbon steel they're going to be rust dust under a month here. 😬
@@MCsCreations I live in south Florida so salty and humid and mine have held up pretty well. They are cheap enough that I can replace them every few years if needed.
@jasonhalvorsen1248 Hmmm... I see. Perhaps I try them. 😊
I'm from Brazil, Sao Paulo state.
So what do you guys use these blocks for?
My addition is fastcap magshims. I'm using them every week for something or another. They are great for scribing or spacing things out.
My most recent use was for undercutting doorways. I used them underneath a tile to use as a guide for a pull saw. The magshims let me perfectly fine tune the right height and make it perfectly level by placing playing cards between the mag shims. They also held everything together like a magnetic spacer sandwich, it was perfect. This thing keeps paying its way for a compadre in my toolbox!
Agreed 100% on the card scraper, the marking knife, and the digital calipers. The marking knife and digital calipers have a permanent place in my apron.
John, I've been a long time fan of your content dating back to the first shop and as a beginner, it's been great! If I had a single request, it would be, can you build an insert table saw table for the DeWalt table saw? It's something I've wanted to do for my small shop and it's a touch daunting to tackle. Thanks and keep the awesome videos coming!!!
By far my favorite tools are the free ones!
Thanks for sharing, those screw clamps are clutch, I need some scrapers too so thanks for those!
love these lists for choosing gifts... my father reviews the magnets and the card scrappers... next maybe an angle finder!!
Dude, you have no idea how much I enjoy your video's and your tool suggestions. I seen a few items on this video I'm going to purchase.
Would love to see you try and make an epoxy stand up lamp of some sorts, love the channel and much love from WV ❤
This video is awesome. Maybe my favorite of yours yet (but the Home Depot pallet...). Super useful. Thank you.
have a few of those hand sanders.. love em.
That mutli bit is probably the clutchest tip I've come across.
Am I the only one that likes his videos even before watching them? I liked this video and I'm still watching the opening ads right now😂😂
Some stuff i have never seen. But looks amazingly simpel to use. They are self explanatory, so it must be easy to use. I am definitely going to check some out
I’m just a beginner but I would like to watch you build a small shed using pallet wood.I really enjoy watching you,
Bro thank you so much❤ you inspired me to start woodworking!
Thank you for your tips, I am getting the basics together. Hoping to start building stuff for my garage and home. My Mom already put in her order
Got from this list so far. I have that Miles craft drill guide and you're right it is awesome!
Won't be losing the chuck key for my drill press again, thanks!!
Please have your neighbor in your videos more often. He is so sweet. This video gave me "feels."
I literally realized I need some neodymium magnets to hide some shelf screws last night, thanks for the link!
I love screw clamps and have built every piece of furniture in my last home using them mostly
Watched all 3 videos and really loved this sign. As always you guys make great content with great knowledge. Also, I'm sorry for your loss. I was wondering how your dad/grandpa was doing and I didnt realized he had passed. May he be happy looking over you all from Heaven!
All of these tools are usefull! Great video, i'll use some of them when making wood sculpture.
Thanks for the recommendations John.
I've used magnets in the shop for years. Love them! I tear apart computer hard drives for free ones. John, if you ever want a stack of those let me know. I have hundreds. Microwave magnets make handy little holders too! If nothing else you pop em on the fridge door then make a game of getting beer caps to stick when you pop one at the end of the day.
Thanks mate great video! I have to get one of the card scrapers 😁
I know the Bessy clamp as a Toolmakers clamp and the other is a vernier. Its been very educational following on from some traditional toolmakers where I work
@JohnMalecki I fell in love with woodworking about 4-5months ago and since then have learned a ton!! From your channel. Your the man seriously. How you don't take everything so serious is refreshing to see but I would honostly try and make a decent side job if I had the room for the necessary tools and could fit them in my very small garage lol. I can't fit a jointer or table saw not thing like that in there so I'm pretty limited unfortunately. Hopefully one day I can extend my garage some and add a bunch more outlets because I'm very limited there also lol. I thought about building something out back but I like when my kiddos can just open the door and bug me when they want :) but anyhow, thank you very very much for the video as it was very very informative. I will definitely be adding a few of those tricks to my arsenal for sure! Thank you also for the chance to win the DeWalt set as that would be super helpful!! Looking forward to the next video. Stay safe out there and God bless you and yours 🙏
I was so excited to learn about some new tools that I don't need, but you had to go and tell me about squares and marking knives. Things that I absolutely need (and have had for years).
Love my twin screw clamp!
a few in there that I've not seen just as you had thought.. Thank you.. Great video
John, i have mad respect for your insight. A lot less "you have to have this brand" crap that others push. Ill continue to support the plans as i have a use for them cheers and ty
Thanks for the info on these tools, I have a few but some of others I have now added to my list. Great channel btw, love watching your vids :)
Love my architecture squares and slide rules
I have the Montana driver thingy. You forgot to mention they are made in USA. I love their stuff.
THIS is what I'm taking about!! The little handy gadgets and tricks up every competent wood workers sleeves that I don't have a clue about. Thank you SO much for speeding up my learning curve. I'm positive I'm gonna go and buy every single piece on your list 🙌
Fastcap magshims. I use them quite often. I keep finding uses. My latest was using the as spacers under a tile to Undercut a doorway that was halfway Undercut with complications of differing floor heights. I used playing cards in between the mag shims to get the perfect height and get it perfectly level to then use the tile as a guide for a pull saw to cut the bottom of the door trim and casing.
I also use them for scribing, or as a spacer if I want a perfect spacing. It's like a little transformer! It even has various radi around its edges.
HEY GUYS! I FINALLY UDED RADI IN A SENTENCE! Look at me, Mr science over here!
I do furniture repair and use the epoxy sticks regularly. Should you need more open time, keep a small amount of denatured alcohol nearby. I use gloves and will dip my finger in the alcohol during the mixing process for a few more minutes of open time.
Great suggestions … do more of these type sessions 😊
Ya top 10 woodpecker products under 150!
😆
Love it.. under $20, not when I buy all of this stuff. Keep ‘em coming!!
Card scraper is the best tool ever for knocking down layer lines in 3D FDM prints. Been printing for years, and sanding crap forever. Found card scrapers a couple months back and holy $hit are they the most simple tool. Been using the edge of an exacto for like 30 years to knock burrs off stuff. Basically same concept. Life saver.
Love the ideas, it's just funny that the pivot clamps are under $20 but you need to buy +$35 clamps to go with it
I must say, really good tips for Beginners. Greetings from Germany, Wolfgang
Nicely done & very helpful.
The last video was goofy and full of hijinks and awesome. This one was serious with a dash of goofy and I greatly enjoyed it. Thank you. I'll definitely be adding some of these to carts. 😄
Great video - I have at least 2/3 of these already - but it is cool to have confirmation that I'm on the right track.
Yes it is.
But do you have fastcap magshims? Highly recommendable!
Fellow Steelers fan here and I have always found wood working interesting. Just bought our first home and after watching your channel I have decided that I want to try doing some wood working projects on my own now. Really appreciate the videos. Doing an awesome job.
You know he's more than just a fan right? Lol
Fastcap Magshims. I reach for these way more than i ever expected. Ez scribing, layout, undercutting to match existing flooring. You can even stick playing cards between them and they all stay together. If you use the old card tricks, this might up your game! I know they have been great for me and have earned themselves a place in my tool bin.
Nice! Need to get a few.
Those are great suggestions!! Thanks!!
You guys got me with “Imperial” 😂
Video idea: find something that’s out for the trash and make it awesome.
Some great ideas. Thank you.
I LOVE my pivot clamps! I would suggest starting with not less than 4 and going from there.
I love how 1 of the 20 dollar tools was a 20 dollar tool for a 50 dollar tool!
That epoxy putty is amazing, I used it for years when I worked in a furniture warehouse repairing damaged pieces, it can even be used to repair things like broken corners and many other non structural pieces on furniture, the bond it makes to the wood isn’t always the best but I found drilling some small holes in the pieces and then using a little CA glue prior to applying the putty made a great bond and once fully cured a fairly strong repair. Pretty easy to work with as well since it’s not thing like other 2 part epoxies.
I totally agree. I worked in restorations and this stuff was the absolute best when we could use it.
I use these almost everyday as a furniture repairer myself. The mohawk rep told me it's best to cut a piece off instead of pinching a piece, you will get a more even mixture.
@@scar6453 definitely, I always used a razor blade to cut it but I guess to each their own
@@BlueTrouble17 yep. I always used a razor too when I needed to use it
Have one like it when I have to do framing work and baseboard work was nice since I don't have stop block. A bit of getting used to though
i have one of those drill/driver things from craftsman that's a couple decades old. surprised you just discovered it. i just assumed nobody used them for some reason. i agree, it is pretty handy
The handheld drill press has a groove for drilling round stock.
Great stuff today! Thanks
Would love to see John do a video about fractal vices. Saw Adam Savage's take on it and they look awesome.
Uh ya fractal vices are crazy.
I don't know how much they cost, but it should be more!
Great Tips as always!
I bought a very cheap digital gauge I named 'Sybil', as it cycled through about 16 wildly different readings whenever I tried to use it.
Great video. Surprisingly I have all the under $30 and only a few of under $20. Looks like it's time to go shopping.
I epoxied magnets to the back of my dust collector remote. I stick it to the side of the table of whatever tool I'm using. I also have them glued to my air cleaner and TV remotes.
You guys should build a bed frame like Thuma. It’s Japanese joinery. It’d be awesome to see you make it
I keep magnets in my vest pocket at work. I use them to stick screws or other fasteners to. Super convent to have a place to stick screws when I am taking a sign off the wall.
I made a C table for my couch. I’m proud of my first attempt but I do want to step my game up and try again. This gave me the idea of a video for you. Amateur, pro, and expert C table build. Bring Sam in for the pro
Great list I have a couple of the things you mentioned but you did mention new things I haven’t seen floating around UA-cam yet. I really need a marking knife. Getting ready to build some custom shelving for my wife with a hidden table inside.
Ya the marking knife is a good one. My top pick to add would be fastcap magshims. I use them all over! Today I used them to scribe a perfect 3/32" gap between hardwood and tile for a caulking joint. Last week it was to Undercut the doorways perfectly using the mag shims under a tile to use as a guide for a pull saw. I was able to shove playing cards in between the mag shims to get the perfect height and level the tile. Giving me a perfect Undercut, mating up to my pre existing cut from weeks ago. Including the headaches of differing floor heights from one room to the other.
I like that your equipment is very high quality, greetings from Indonesia, ✋👍🙏🙏🙏♥️
On the calipers, one thing that you didn't mention but would be super helpful for us woodworkers, is that you can measure the depth of a rabbet/dado by standing them on the jaw end and you can drop the fixed jaw to the bottom of the shoulder and press the movable jaw against the top of the stock. This gives a lot more of a reference surface than trying to balance on the skinny end (if you have the room to do it, that is).
They're also the best splinter remover in the shop. Sharp, hard, and comes together on a perfectly flat plane.
Definitely get a speed square or a framing squar.
4:43 I love the epoxy sticks, although I haven't tried Mohawk. Isopropyl alcohol will remove the after-mixing goo from your fingers, as will alcohol based hand sanitizer. It can also be mixed between sheets of waxed paper, aluminum foil, or non-absorbent baker's parchment paper.
I love them too. And I haven't used one yet.
It's gotta blow the pants off those crayon sticks I've been using as gap filler.
If you want to add some functionality and precision, I like the try square better because they are machined from a single piece of steel instead of a blade pinned to the base. I picked up an 8 inch from Kinex that is certified to be within 0.0008 of square for $40 from Amazon.
This giveaway feels like it came at the perfect time for me. 😂 I really need some tools, and was already looking at DeWalt.
You always give suggestions on the highest priced things available. Like the card scraper. Its all made of the same metal for $18 you can get a 8 set piece. Or the single scraper for $6
a long time ago, a mentor told me "cheap means inexpensive and of poor quality. inexpensive only means it doesn't cost a lot." and, all metals are NOT para- or diamagnetic. like aluminum. btw, this is a great video. i loved the one about tools beginners shouldn't get.
If you don't have a measuring tool all you need is a ruler or some string.
One of my go to tools is some drywall chalk on a string. Find two points and snap a few times.
Second on the digital calipers. I use them all the time. I used it today to measure the diameter of a machine screw so I could drill a clearance hole for it. There have been many moments where I picked it up and thought, “How did I function before I had this thing?”
Great tips thanks for sharing
I really want that milescraft drill press jig
Gahd there’s just so much too buy all the time
So totally agree on these tools. I've got most of them, but you added a couple to my list. Can't live without my engineering squares, my "dial' calipers, or marking knife. Thank you!
He did include calipers, he called them a “digital market gauge” which makes my fucking blood boil
Digital calipers are also useful to cheat at conversions between metric, SAE digital, and SAE fraction
Great video, just found some new tools to buy. Ellie is going to love me lot's more now! Hahahaha. Anyway, thanks for the video. Subscribed!
Im so glad im not the only one who pronounces it 'keller'. i just tried and i cant say it any other way. it just sound like collar.
Great video! These always end up costing me more money! 😂 👍🏻👍🏻
I have those clamps except mine are made out of metal and 4in, they were my grandfathers and he made them when he was a machinist. I use them all the time.
Do a golfclub build-off and have a little tournament with em on an improvised court
thank you
I said it a while ago when Jordan and Sam there.
But I think a wine rack / bar cart.
3 ways. Wood. Metal. Resin globe.
Great video
7:19 c'mon man, no love for Barry Sanders? I'm not even a Lions fan, but he's one of the greats!
After rubbing the epoxy stick, clean your fingers with alcohol.
Extend the poles of your hand held drill guide toward the bottom and you have your center finder to drill at the center of a board.
The mohawk putty is good but maybe try Milliput. It's the same 2 part putty epoxy in the same 4 oz size but half the cost.
Figured out a hack for the handheld drill press using a flexible extension and mounting the drill above the work area. Put together a Short if anyone wants to see how I did it
Next build, what about a metal table with curve in middle, one side with round tube cutoffs and other side square tube cutoffs then fill in with epoxy. Maybe make 2" or less..
I saw that sanding mouse pads at my local Woodcraft.
I have 4 of the sanding blocks with different grits that way I am not changing all the time
