    As a father of a 13YO daughter, I love finding things we can do together and where she can participate and be as much as a contributor to the task as I am; sometimes more so. The fact that you have your kids involved (even when they elect for the A/C) is great and time you will never regret spending. Keep up the good work and fun videos!

      Same here and one of the things I learned that really really made an impression on my 14 year old self… now 40 years ago… I hated and really sucked with a hand plane. Now that I’m getting into woodworking I have to figure out ways to avoid them if I don’t want ruin an entire project and get so discouraged that I quit given that my 14 year old self never realized just how expensive it is to set up a small shop.

    First off, who does not love using a plane? There is so much satisfaction in creating those curls of wood and seeing the finished product.
    Next, honestly, I love the rustic feel of your stool over his, it came out really cool.
    And, yup, I have some good spade bits, but I also have cheap ones that I use when I know I'm gonna trash it. Like this one time, I did not know there was concrete behind the wood, I got that tip cherry red!
    I see a thickness planer in my future, my wife is suddenly addicted to a couple of Facebook pages on building and creating from used pallets.

    Got to say it's refreshing to see someone making on youtube that admits "hey it be better to have this tool but I don't have it so I'm going to make do" and admits to not being skilled in everything yet. While it is cool to watch a master with 3 duplicates of every tool work, I know personally I'm not that so its nice to see a more relatable making experience.

    I have both hand tools and power tools. Every time I have damaged myself, it's been with the hand tools. I think it's because I don't respect hand tools on the same level. I really should.

    • @worstworkshop
      @worstworkshop  11 місяців тому +1

      You and me both. I think another reason is that no one talks about safety procedures with hand tools. You can't turn on a table saw without a dozen guys telling you you're doing it wrong, but a sharp chisel can ruin your life too.

    Good way for a father to spend time with his daughters especially considering some high schools probably don't even offer shop class anymore. My father was a bit of a workaholic and most of the time we spent together when he was home was home improvement/ landscaping projects my older brother (assuming he wasn't working or out with friends) and I would help out our father with. You might like the channel redbudbuilds an content creator that also likes to build random stuff with his kids/ wife. Got inspired to build something when I watched his video when he made this weird guitar/ harp hybrid instrument. I made mine out of cardboard, credit card demo cards, guitar accessories, school glue and a lot of hot glue. I think I will call mine a garp and not just because it combines the name guitar and harp. It is also a literary/ movie reference to The world according to Garp.

I suppose this is all part of the process, but would have been nice to know the dogholes would barely last a few uses of the holdfasts :(.

      ​@@worstworkshop Thanks for the tip ill give reaching out to Rex a shot! I did manage to solve the vice racking/looseness by drilling 1" holes behind the screws that hold the wood to the face of the vice, then glued in 1" hardwood dowels. The screws hold on MUCH better now and so far have yet to work loose at all. I think I'll do something similar for the holes (1-1/4" Dowel and redrill a 3/4" hole) if they continue to wallow out too much!

      At the time, my bandsaw was in bad shape. It couldn't cut a straight line for anything, even with a huge drift. I've changed the tires and blade, and done a full tune up on it since then, and it's cutting beautifully.

    Please tell Little bit not to stand in front of the planer when putting more than one board in . If one were to come shooting back out because it was smaller than the others it's will do some damage . I almost had my wrist broke by a endgrain cutting board i shouldn't have tried planing and it was scary .

    I like the idea of your channel... but you really really need to make a real bench of some type that incorporates work holding. I cringed thinking about all the times I did stuff so dangerously because I didn't know how to secure the piece while taking the tool to the wood... and I also had more sloppy work as I fought to hold the piece while handling a tool (power or hand).
    I had a lot of fun outfitting a non-woodwoking maple top bench with a home made vice and other work holding. Rex was my primary inspiration, but I found a slew of other inspiration also such as 3x3 customs clamp down bench top with a moxon and other work holding built in.
    Unplugged Woodworking has some great low bench inspiration... but his audio is poor.
    Keep up the great channel topics. I love the family approach!

      Thanks for watching. You're absolutely right about the workbench. The only reason it isn't a higher priority is the state of the workshop. It's well over 100 degrees F in there right now. I was out there this morning at 6AM just so it wouldn't be too hot. Once I get the electrical up to code, A/C installed, and the holes in the walls closed up - maybe some insulation too - a workbench will be next.
