Hello Billy, Shelley, and Stanley! I started repairing and refinishing an old stool of my dad’s. I watched lots of videos on REAL repair- not just painting over. So woodworking videos came across my feed, and the projects were enticing! Since my dad did woodwork, we had a lot of simple tools to start with. The best tip I got was to keep sanding! I don’t mind it so much. It’s like meditation for me- and the 3M cubitron sandpaper can be brushed or shaken off and reused over and over! What’s been an obstacle- my health. I have fibromyalgia and arthritis- I know you understand. So I always ask my daughter and/or son to help me. They ended up enjoying woodworking themselves! When I make a mistake I try to work it out. I found that things might not go according to plan, but things always end up the way they’re supposed to be. And I know I’m done with a project when I can’t see anything else that can be done. The top coat is the final step and I start thinking of the next project! 😄 Wonderful build, Billy! I’m glad your sister-in-law loves her TV stand- I know I do! 👍🌟🤘
Yes I’m finding a lot of people with health issues using woodworking to keep active and not just giving up which is fantastic.. I get you with the arthritis it’s an absolute nightmare some days but I have learned myself to deal with it by sort of chasing it down. I normally have a rest in between each scene I shoot and keep everything simple and it works perfectly.. plus a lot of napping in the afternoon (sleep) 🤣👌🪚
I had a friend drop by a couple of days ago. He asked me how things were. I said, “We’ll I’ve been in therapy this morning.” He said, “Oh, what’s the problem?” I said, “Absolutely nothing. I’ve been in my shop all morning.” Woodworking to me, is ‘Therapy.’
I absolutely love this tv stand. I'm going to make one for my living room. The black and golden oak colors are fantabulous 🎉 Pink Crystal Art Visalia California USA Crystal S.❤
Hi,there ..I started woodworking when I bought a kreg pocket hole jig to put a ledge under the kitchen window. I have always done all of my handyman jobs. I’ve made lots of toys for the grandkids , pens for family and friends. Wishing wells , and lots of puzzles and Scrollsaw projects as well. Having a basement shop there is a concern for dust so I am down to mostly scrolling. I’m now 80 years old. I live in Alberta Canada and I enjoy your channel very much. Long live UA-cam.
Forced to retire early at 62 because of a pulmonary embolism four years ago. It nearly took me out. Formerly a commercial carpenter with scant experience in wood but always loved it. So when I recently took up woodworking as a hobby, I saw it as a natural evolution into who and what I really am. Notice I said hobby... I'm not looking to start a business, just building quality wood products and furniture for my home.
Hey mate, you gotta have your blade lower when re-sawing on the first 2 passes..the engine isn’t strong enough to take it when the blade is that high, shallow passes and you’ll avoid kickback and lost fingys
Hi Billy, nice Tv stand for your sister, for me as a youngster it was more of a shed thing especially my Taid's Shed ( Taid is Welsh for Grandad ) when I use to stay at my Taid and Nains house ( Nain is Welsh for Gran ) I used to watch him repair furniture but mainly he repaired shoes and made toys for me he made me a castle and a long road bridge for my matchbox and corgi cars. My grandparents lived in a village of Coedpoeth which is 4-5 miles from Wrexham on the Wrexham to Rhyl road. To this day I still have a thing for Sheds, Workshops and Garages also outbuildings and now I have my own Workshop and Garage I find it as my freedom and at times just sit there and do nothing just for a peace of mind. I mainly make things for the workshop or just repairing thing I just do it when I need too. My next big job in a few weeks is to replace my porch widows as the wooden frames are starting to rot plus they are single glazed I've got some 2nd hand upvc windows will need to frame out as they are smaller. Catch you soon keep up the good work mate Take care
I started woodworking about 6 months ago. I am still learning how to do a lot. I had an accident that stopped me from working full-time. I am from New Zealand. All my woodworking has been done with recycled pellet wood. Or recycled wood. I learned how to make an overlapping Star using one angle cut on your mitesaw that everyone can use and do without difficult angles.
1. So my father was a man of many skills and one of his best was woodworking. He thought me some as a kid but the nose was a bit much for me and the ADHD made me a bit of a pain to teach. He passed away 15 years ago and I got the desire to get back into wood working as a hobby and a way to reconnect with my father. 2. My biggest challenge is kind of a two part one. It’s the basement. Not the best place for a wood shop for someone my hight but it’s what I got. My father was also a hoarder so cleaning it up has taken a lot of time because of issue 2 that being I’ve got a pretty jacked up back so standing, walking, bending is an issue and with a lot to clean it has taken me years to get to the point where I can finally really start. Which is good as my long term disability has kicked me to the curb and it’s this or bust now. 3. Best tip. Definitely just the basic measure twice cut once. Which I take as a stop and think it through as it’s way easier to take away then add. Been loving your channel and videos. It’s fun, friendly and reasonable for people just starting out to have some skill under their saws. I live in the US in the state of Vermont, hence the crappy health care system! 4. Answering as I watch and did not know four was going to be a thing. I beat myself up for them and let myself be mad for a bit but then remember I’ve watched very seasoned pro UA-camrs make mistakes too. So as long as I learn something, it’s not really a mistake, it’s just a change to learn. 5. Not sure. When I hurt to much and it’s good enough to be what I tried to make I guess.
I got into DIY and woodworking through not having the pennies to pay a tradesman, so learnt myself most things by watching vids like yours. My biggest hurdle when starting was not having decent tools, or any at all. Oh, I’m from Cambridgeshire.
Really beautiful bench , I started woodwork age 7 years old but went onto a Girls high school so no wood work unfortunely but later on in my 20s i started doing bits and pieces when i had time, now in my middle 50s as a woman i have a 16x12 ft work shop so im out in it as much as possible making stuff, just love wood, the smell and what you can turn it into, just always loved it .
Yes it’s very good to get into.. it’s one of those super addictive hobbies that you get easily sucked into.. keep building and at some point when I learn UA-cam a bit better I’ll show some other makers projects etc. 👌🪚
School I started 1980 carnt read or right so good love wood work 2.tools expensive yep 3.pracktis I drown strat lines on wood and saw down them 4. Small ones glue back yes very annoying 5. When it looks good Good video rkid lik the quiz aswell
Absolutely love your videos. Stanley is a little CHAMP. Im in the prosess of cleaning up my shed so I can turn it into a small workshop and start making some small projects and maby some youtube vids. love ya work Shelly. Chris from Australia
Boredom got me in to woodworking. I have 2 dangerous health issues that I refused to be a prisoner too so that's what started me watching UA-cam videos & eventually trying my hand . I've justbfinished a new work bench.
Good on you fella.. don’t let anything beat you. I suffer from extreme arthritis and some days find it stupid hard to do things. But I do things anyway. Top man .. keep making 🛠️👌
My dad was a cabinetmaker post war joiner in construction in Liverpool so as a 5 year old 64 years ago I spent every moment I could with him on any job he did Best tip is probably the oldest measure twice cut once What he used to say the only thing you can do with mistakes is learn from them Projects are only finished when you are happy with them 👍
I have been a joiner for 20+ years now but only recently got into making things rather than site work , so built myself a workshop in the garden , keep the videos coming a day not learning is a day wasted 👍
My grandfather was a woodworker, taught me a little over a summer one year, left me many of his tools when he passed. I always liked it, finally got serious about it when i decided to make some changes to my life.
Yes I look at a finished project and see things that I can do better next time or how I may do it differently, it’s still a learning process for me and I have a pocket hole guide and never used it yet something I have to practice with so I can do it right lol
Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦. Awesome build. The contrasting colours turned out beautiful. Well done mate....oh and not forgetting Shelly's wonderful staining and cosmetic finishing. Take care.
I'm in Dallas, Texas in the America. I just got into woodworking to try build cabinets and vanitys. I remodel bathroom rooms and wanted to try just build the vanitys instead of buying them and installing them. Now I build everything but I'm still a beginner too. Love you channel brother. Keep making those cool videos
Just a couple of things I would have done differently. The top could have been fixed from the underside thus, there are no fixings to hide. The 4 angled support legs could have been glued and pinned, thereby no need for pocket hole fixings. These 'legs could also have been fixed from the inside cutting out the need for hiding the fixings. We all do things differently and I think your finished item was good, but could have been made easier with my suggestions, I hope you don't mind my comments and I hope it helps you.
I don’t mind one bit I’m happy for the tips.. it helps me and helps others so it’s more than welcome.. I was going to do things a bit differently and I’ll try some of what you just said definitely 👌🛠️
I'm a carpenter by trade, but always preferred the joinery side of woodworking more, so slowly transitioning from throwing up new builds to going fine furniture making full time
For the pocket holes, do you have a doweling jig/cutter? I know kreg sells wooden dowel plugs cut at an angle to cover them up and I’ve seen people use just a dowel and a flat saw like you have on the other dowels.
Hey Billy, Anika from Anikas DIY here on youtube is doing an hour or hour and a half course tomorrow 27th August and it's free of charge. I bought a pocket hole jig and haven't used it at all so I signed up for it. If you want I can email you the link for signing up? Or if you go to her website I'm sure there's a link there too.
Man, nobody's perfect. We all make mistakes. I dont care. My stuff still looks ok, i make a few bucks, and more importantly i have fun doing it. Im a Guitarist, so i build alot of Cigar Box Guitars
I'm watching this video. I watched another video by Izzy Swan. He made a video about festool. I think that's how it's spelled. I mostly watch UA-cam on my TV. You're talking about your hands hurting.. I have arthritis as well but in my back. I have to take breaks as well. I don't know if you can get fresh pot not dried. Put it in a jar and cover it with vodka, rum or any kind of alcohol. If you don't have any drinking alcohol you can use rubbing alcohol. Set in a cabinet the oils will separate. When that happens you put the oil on wherever it hurts. My grandfather got this from American Indians. And used this for as long as I can remember. He had arthritis in his hands the kind that makes fingers curl in and freeze in place. Doctors even cut off a few of his fingers when I was a baby. I know this is a very long message and I'm sorry. Like I said I mostly watch on my TV so you're my only 3rd message. I don't know if he'll help but you could ask. Steve McDonald is a creator in the UK. He does craft and resin channels. He may help you with your questions about UA-cam. Thank you for reading Pink Crystal Art Visalia, California USA

Keep at it fella.. thank you & welcome to the channel 🇬🇧🇨🇦
When joining two boards, you could have used a biscuit jointer to help with alignment. Some glue and clamps and bosh, your done.👍
Yes a biscuit jointer would probably have been ideal… I’ll have to get me one of those 👌🛠️
Just a fun hobby for me & it’s a money saver to be able to make some of your own furniture and stuff
Yes definitely but it’s a very addicting hobby 🤣
Forced to retire early at 62 because of a pulmonary embolism four years ago. It nearly took me out.

Yes that thing of when you take it to a business can kill the joy of things.. keep plugging away fella 👌🛠️
Hey mate, you gotta have your blade lower when re-sawing on the first 2 passes..the engine isn’t strong enough to take it when the blade is that high, shallow passes and you’ll avoid kickback and lost fingys
Cheers fella.. I noticed it struggling a bit.. thank you 👌🛠️

My grandfather was a woodworker, taught me a little over a summer one year, left me many of his tools when he passed. I always liked it, finally got serious about it when i decided to make some changes to my life.
Yes… keep at it and keep them tools in good condition 🛠️👌
Yes I look at a finished project and see things that I can do better next time or how I may do it differently, it’s still a learning process for me and I have a pocket hole guide and never used it yet something I have to practice with so I can do it right lol
It’s easy I’m still learning it, the main thing is hiding the pocket holes etc.. 🛠️👌
My son in law and my first scroll saw how I first got started
I’ve got a scroll saw I must get it out and learn how to use it. 🛠️👌
Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦. Awesome build. The contrasting colours turned out beautiful. Well done mate....oh and not forgetting Shelly's wonderful staining and cosmetic finishing. Take care.

Hey neighbor! I’m in the heart of Texas! I noticed a lot of Texans in another video comment section- it’s good to see ya! Keep building! 👍
Thank you and welcome to the channel 👌🇬🇧🇺🇸
I just made a table almost like that one.
Well done I bet it turned out great 👌 keep at it 🛠️🪚
Look forward to watching your Sunday videos keep them coming
Cheers fella.. 👌 don’t forget the Wednesday videos also
We would love to do a sticker swap.👍
I’ll get something organised, I’ll give details on how to swap in my next video (Wednesday). 👌🛠️
Just a couple of things I would have done differently. The top could have been fixed from the underside thus, there are no fixings to hide.

I was going to do things a bit differently and I’ll try some of what you just said definitely 👌🛠️
For no screw holes in the top use pocket holes in your stringer, screws will be hidden, and no plugs are needed, unless that is the look you want.
This was what I was looking for.. She wanted plugs 🤣👌
I'm a carpenter by trade, but always preferred the joinery side of woodworking more, so slowly transitioning from throwing up new builds to going fine furniture making full time
Best of luck with the transition I bet it’s not easy but I’m sure you will overcome the challenges 🛠️👌
Great video billy always get inpiration from u keep um coming mate .will ther b any hoodies in ur work wear .thanks
Haha.. I was talking earlier to Shelley about doing something on the channel regarding workwear type merchandise.. I’ll do them at some point
For the pocket holes, do you have a doweling jig/cutter? I know kreg sells wooden dowel plugs cut at an angle to cover them up and I’ve seen people use just a dowel and a flat saw like you have on the other dowels.
Yes I’ve thought about dowels & flat saw.. good shout. I’m also gonna get a cutter for pocket holes etc.. 👌🪚
My biggest challenge is using the router
I find the router ok.. my thing is trying to master a jigsaw 🤣
Hey Billy, Anika from Anikas DIY here on youtube is doing an hour or hour and a half course tomorrow 27th August and it's free of charge. I bought a pocket hole jig and haven't used it at all so I signed up for it. If you want I can email you the link for signing up? Or if you go to her website I'm sure there's a link there too.
I’ll take a look at her channel.. 👌🛠️

I'm watching this video. I watched another video by Izzy Swan. He made a video about festool. I think that's how it's spelled. I mostly watch UA-cam on my TV. You're talking about your hands hurting.. I have arthritis as well but in my back. I have to take breaks as well. I don't know if you can get fresh pot not dried. Put it in a jar and cover it with vodka, rum or any kind of alcohol. If you don't have any drinking alcohol you can use rubbing alcohol. Set in a cabinet the oils will separate. When that happens you put the oil on wherever it hurts. My grandfather got this from American Indians. And used this for as long as I can remember. He had arthritis in his hands the kind that makes fingers curl in and freeze in place. Doctors even cut off a few of his fingers when I was a baby.
I know this is a very long message and I'm sorry. Like I said I mostly watch on my TV so you're my only 3rd message. I don't know if he'll help but you could ask. Steve McDonald is a creator in the UK. He does craft and resin channels. He may help you with your questions about UA-cam.

Watched you measuring ....... still using a combi of imperial and metric 🙂 ? About using pocketholes, it's not recommended using them to put two boards together (like your tabletop). Use dowles, biscuits or dominoes. As you know, I'm not a pro (a beginner like you), but have watched hundreds of woodworking videos on youtube but have never seen anyone using pocketholes for putting boards together with pocketholes making a tabletop. I think it has something to do with strenght. About happy/satisfied with our own endresult? I think in 90% of the cases we look at our project and still see the little mistakes we've made or thinking ...... next time I will make this better or different. (you have to think again when the wife isn't happy 🙂)
Yes I use a combination of metric & imperial which is common in the U.K. and it’s just more of a habit.
I would have used a biscuit jointer for the top boards which I ain’t got and can’t bring myself to pay festool money even though I believe they are fantastic. There’s a dowel jointer I’ve had my eye on that flynndog in the U.S reviewed recently so I might get one of those I also think triton do one.
🛠️🪚👌
How do I deal with my mistakes usually a lot of cursing lol
Same here 🤣🤣 I wish I could show some of it on UA-cam
Sir do you have an email address
Yes Larry, if you go to my main info bit my email is there.. 👌
How do I deal with my mistakes usually a lot of cursing lol
I’m always cursing 🤣
