I really have nothing else to say. Keywords? Wood, I guess. Poplar. Tools. I don't know.
This video is SO fun and you really powered through all the obstacles. A great, well-made video!
Thank you, Rex! You've done SO MUCH for all of us, and I hoped you'd see this as the tribute it was meant to be!
Hey Rex 👋, fancy seeing you here lol
You better stay away from my power tools Mr Krueger
Honestly Rex says it's all practice, and Jake the dog said it best "You gotta suck at something before you becone kinda good at it."
I legitimately hope you keep doing this. That was the realest woodworking video I’ve ever seen.
And that's the kindest comment I've read in a long time. Thanks!
😂 ja zeigt das es meistens bei Profis zu leicht aussieht man sich aber nicht entmutigen lassen soll und dann doch ein gutes Ergebnis bekommt. Gerade für Anfänger können die fantastischen Ergebnisse von so manchen Videos dann sehr entmutigend sein wenn sie feststellen dass sie das nicht nachvollziehen können.
Learning to use hand planes was a part of the shop course all boys were required to take when I was a young lad. We learned to work wood, metal, and plastics.
Your channel is great. I love that you're working with your girls and their expressions are priceless.
Thanks, Gaius!
yep...the only thing i looked forward to as a freshman in high school was wood shop and metal shop!
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.
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!
I'm learning. They may or may not develop a lifetime passion for woodworking, but I hope they'll always remember the shop as a happy place.
I'm to 'tired'! Sounds like wife material. 🤣🤣🤣🙏🙏🙏
Glad you're getting the little ones involved in woodworking. It's a great skill to have
Thanks for watching!
"Rex Kruger thinks you own a full set of Forstner bits"
* you lost one *
Was I wrong?
Awesome, regardless of outcome. Getting the kids involved is amazing!
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.
Pallets would be great for it. It needs to be stiff under the table, and you want something like cold rolled steel for the shaft, but most of it is just a frame.
your kids crack me up .. What a great bonding experience .. keep it up!
They crack me up too!
I am a huge Rex fan. I came here prepared to defend a Yoda of mine. Dude I love the interaction you have with your girls for this project. I did some bird houses with mine for Christmas year before last. Need to plan something else with them now.
If you can't tell, I'm a huge Rex fan too. I appreciate your comment so much! We turn ornaments on the lathe every year, but might do something extra this Christmas. We'll see.
Hey! I'm Rex's editor, just saw this video and wanted to echo his compliments. Loved it!
That's awesome. Thanks so much!!
I am really enjoying this video series you have going on. Keep'em coming!
Thanks! Sure will.
LOVE how you involve / include your daughters!
(And, I’m a fan of Rex’s, too.)
Thank you!
hahaha! hysterical...
i love rex krueger...he’s one of the truly inspirational woodworkers on YT, for me...there’s nothing like learning the manual method to make one appreciate the efficiency of power tools!!
Yep. I've watched Rex for years. He's a real hero of the woodworking niche!
Rex is awesome and you did a great job on this video and the project. You are on a hit streak with videos. Keep it up.
Thanks! I've enjoyed your channel too.
This was such a good video and project. Thank you.
Thank you!
Keep these type of videos coming!!!
Sure will. Thanks!
This is a great channel - I love the fun you have with your girls as they learn a bit of woodworking. Reminds me of the fun I had with my kiddies when they were little!
Thank you very much!
It only need a few moments of your video and i like it! Your kids are great!
Thank you, Fritz!
Once again, thank you!
This was adorable and informative for wood working! 10/10
Thank you!
This is my new favourite channel. You and the kiddy winks make an excellent team. Keep it up you three!
That's very kind. Thanks a lot!
You are amazingly fun. This is the second of your videos I have watched. Keep it up. I also love Rex Krueger’s content
Thanks, Lincoln!
Nicked my finger on my palm router last evening. 3 tools down, and 97 to go.
Love your videos. Your costars obviously up the attractiveness on your set!
I'm glad you're OK. Routers can rip you to shreds in a split second.
I too love rex
Very informative and has a great personality
You guys are great too
Rex is amazing. Thanks so much!
Love it and you are a great dad.
Thanks so much!
Another great video!
Thank you so much!
good luck with the channel amigo!
keep up the great work.
Thanks, will do!
I think it looks nice. How amazingly self aware!
Thanks!
Really good video man! I really like the humour you have in them
Thanks, taos!
Well, I will say your video skills are excellent :)
For the record, all my tool injuries were made by hand tools. The fist hammer, the thumb clamp, the finger saw guide, the thumbnail screwdriver...
Subscribed!
I have all those tools!! Thanks for your subscription.
Keep growing and learning!
Until I'm perfect or out of fingers.
This is absolutely awesome!
Thanks, Erika!
I have 3 kids this channel is amazing once they are old enough i want to do this same thing with them thank you for this content amazing its nice to see a guy have fun and not make perfect stuff keep up the good work.
Thank you. It's so rewarding to pass on the experience. I hope someday they learn to love woodworking as much as I do.
Love this channel, it's so important to include our kids in our crafts that we love, not only to introduce them to that craft, but it introduces them to all crafts, or the ones the choose to try at least, something that enriches our lives. I would say focus on getting their hair tied up and out the way though, some nasty things happen when power tools and long hair meet...
Absolutely. Having never been a girl, I didn't know that at the time. Now it's a rule. Thanks!
Great video. Ha. Love the voiceover!!!!
Thanks! Really enjoying your content too!
Thanks for the video man!
Thank you for watching it!
Seeing kids in the shop just earned you a sub. Love it. Great work.
Thank you, Symon!
Man that green poplar is gorgeous.
It is, isn't it? Poplar is such a weird wood. There are so many variations, but I haven't seen a lot of it that color. It was old and dry too. The color isn't changing.
Your stool turned out great! Awesome project to do with your daughters! They looked like they enjoyed the process!
It's a project I would recommend to anyone. Thanks for watching!
LOL this was too funny. Good video!
Glad you think so!
Love it! I've got a girl who loves planing! It's good to know I'm not the only one who defers off the path takes while trying out one of his projects.
I actually had a brief conversation with Rex right after this video released on Instagram. He loves when people defer from that path to figure things out. One of my favorite people on UA-cam.
I think your videos are great especially the cheeky youngest one,there’s definitely star quality there😊
She sure is!
I happy to see these kids holds other things instead of smartphone.
No smartphones for them. Not yet.
Great video glad to see someone teaching the next generation useful skills keep up the great work
Thank you!
That stool doesn't look so bad from this side of the screen. It's definitely an interesting one with that green of the Poplar, it certainly makes it unique, which I think people say is worth something.
It was from a set of shelves that were installed when we moved into our house. I was shocked they were even solid wood. And that wood has kept that color too!
Huge RK fan but I like your tribute . Best part of this is your girls will have that stool forever along with the memory of building it together. And even you have more tools than I do, lol.
I've been collecting and creating those tools for a long, long time. I have wants, like anybody, but I can build just about anything with the tools I have.
And Rex is great. Since this video, I've been lucky enough to correspond with him a little. Just an all around good guy.
I had so much fun watching this video and that is a pretty bench you and the girls made.
Thanks!
Another gem, - so glad the UA-cam algorithm found me - just love to watch you and your girls doing this stuff, , , , , YAY! , , , Nail Gun! ! ! ! , , , , , Says it all, , , , loving your tongue in cheek respect for the carpentry “big boys “ - just gotta say we’d need a good judge to decide who is the worst between you and I , absolutely adore your honesty, , , I’d love to see you take on a DIY for Knuckleheads project , you are so up the same street, , , , , , Keep doing what you’re doing 👍. Deepest respect.
That's a great idea! Thanks for watching.
Hey hey, hear me out. I actually loved the end result and wish to have something like that one in my house. Great work you guys!
It's a great project! Highly recommended.
"optagon" made me crack up more than it should have.
I'm glad. Thanks for watching!
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.
Thank you! We all want a huge, stocked shop, but not having everything shouldn't stop us from doing what we enjoy.
Your daughters are so cute, what a lucky Dad!
They're pretty great. Thanks!
Really well done! You really belong on camera! Your so smooth, and sharing the hobby with your girls makes it a lot of fun to watch.
Thanks, Scott. I appreciate that.
Lol this is hilarious i started my channel about 6 months ago and i started because of these youtubers i saw your bourbon mouth video and had to watch the others these are hilarious and adorable lol keep up the good work and i subscribed
Thanks! I subscribed to your channel. Let me know if you ever want to talk shop.
Nice! I’ve enjoyed doing woodworking projects with my daughter too, such quality time! As for the hand/machine tools thing, I always liked Paul Sellers’ comment on the difference: “Hand tools tend to stop when they hit bone.” 😂
Ha! He's a genius is so many respects.
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.
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.
I also stumbled into this channel and love it. You and your girls do a great job. Keep up the kinda good woodworking 😀. Naw just kidding the worst workshop is the best kinda workshop. Keep making sawdust I can’t wait to see y’all’s next masterpiece.
If I ever have a website I want to put "Keep up the kinda good woodworking" on there somewhere.
Seriously - this is a tshirt!!
This is just what I needed to see today. My 3.5 yo daughter has asked to help me in the garage shop as I build Xmas presents. I’m considering what things I should build in 2024 that can include her safely. I’m thinking about a small table and have her spokeshave some legs
I'm so glad, and that sounds like a great project!! Teaching them the hand tools early is a great approach.
Great video pal..... New sub earned.
Thanks!!
I like showing my wife your videos when she calls me crazy for not using power tools
Power tools have their place. But I think hand tools are usually more fun.
Rex is da Boss.
He's a hero.
Great video again 😂! Rex is indeed great and feels very much down to earth. How do you script these videos? Are you a writer in any form? If not, maybe you should, they are funny (at least to my kind of humor). Thanks for the content!
Thanks so much! The answer is "kinda." But I don't really script. I more just let my crazy out and hope people think it's funny!
Oh man, I can hardly wait to get my daughter in the woodshop. Couple more years perhaps :)
It's the best. Thanks for watching!
That was hilarious!
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Happy Father's Day. I can't wait to do some woodworking projects with my little girl.
Thanks! Happy Father's Day to you as well.
Entertaining video.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment!
I stumbled into this channel and love it. I had been thinking of doing videos making fun of other UA-cam woodworkers (In a nice and fun way). But you do it so well, I get to sit and watch. You and your kids rock please continue!
The trick is finding things we can actually finish!
Great video :^) I guess it was Rex's comment that made UA-cam show it to me in my feed.
Well, I'm glad it did. Thanks for watching!
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'm sorry you had to go through that. Didn't know about RedBud Builds, but I'll check it out. Thanks!
Don't get me wrong the time spent working on projects with my father was not unpleasant. I learned a lot of basic home repair/ landscaping from him. A lot of stuff probably to many of Generation Z will probably will not bother to learn. Also forgot to mention he would make time to go on family fishing trips, Kings Dominion Busch Gardens Water Country USA. He works hard but he is not a dull boy my father.
Oh, I'm sure. I try really hard to be the best dad I can, but I know we'll be able to look back at things I wish I'd done differently.
Hahaha again good humour. "Then I figured they were nails"!!!!
Thanks for watching!
I bought an old Atlas jointer that I'm currently rebuilding, progress is halted as it's ready to paint just in time for winter and it's too cold to paint now. Downloaded the instruction manual and it shows how to do tapers on it.
Nice! Because...I was going to keep doing it anyway. :)
I almost yelled at my screen seeing you chiseling into your leg, glad you learned that lesson cheaply. Might want to practice sharpening the chisel though, it looked like that hit should've done a bit more trouble.
We make bad decisions when we're overheated. At least I do.
@@worstworkshop I seem to make them regardless... still, more scars seems to lead to less cuts. even better when it all works out harmlessly
I used to have that same tablesaw. recently upgraded to a performax from menards for $200. it was a worthy upgrade.
Nice!
Did you make your drum sander? Just kinda curious what you used for a motor.
I did! It was a motor from a big evaporative cooler.
I love this video your youngest has a real twinkle in her eye,I’m sure Rex will love it .Next can you do one by James wood by wright.
He actually reached out to me on Instagram. Super nice, and liked the video.
For the tendons and some things like different joints, dont forget you own a bandsaw. Its not perfect, but it could of gotten you close enough
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.
😂😂😂 at least it's not a 2x4. Another great video.
Thanks, J. I appreciate it.
I love old fashion
Me too!
I made Rex’s stool from scrap 2x4’s, it looks like a stool made from scrap 2x4’s. But, it’s my stool and it works. 😊
Ha! Which version did you make?
@@worstworkshop the one he did a few years ago in his getting started with hand tools series.
I like the sensationalism
Thanks! Appreciate you watching and commenting.
You are my kinda wood worker!
Not sure if I should say thanks or that I'm sorry! :)
@@worstworkshop HA!
@@worstworkshop It's fun watching you and your girls. I remember my girls, 4 of them, watching me through the windows of the shop when they were little. I brought them in, one at a time, teaching them the tools. I started them on a scroll saw.
Your daughter is so cheeky😂
You got that right.
This is brilliant. Get after Katz-Moses😂
Thanks, Rick! There are so many opportunities.
Your girls speak the truth, i love it.
I can always count on them for that!
Just realized that I think I have the same table saw. Delta? Thing terrifies me. No riving knife. No zero clearance. No guard. Fence is crap. Maybe one day I’ll win the lottery and can buy a SawStop.
Craftsman. But just as you say. I named mine "Deathtrap." I could find something cheap on Marketplace and fix it up, but I've always avoided doing that because I really want a Sawstop.
@@worstworkshop I love my Craftsman table saw. I bought it at a yard sale for $20. If I ever hit the lottery I'll buy tools but I won't be getting a Sawstop.
Craftsman made some good table saws. They also made this one.
@@worstworkshop yeah I think the one I have is one of the "good" ones. It is circa 1969 with a cast iron top. I had to fix the old girl up some when I got her but she's good now.
Pls make diy drum sander video
You got it. It's on the schedule.
i agree
👍👍👍
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 had never heard of that. I did pre-thickness them before I let her do it. Thanks for caring about our safety!
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.
@@worstworkshop I can appreciate the heat impacts.... All to much. Stay safe and keep having family fun! :)
"Worst" workshop? Maybe, but that doesn't matter at all... Cutest one? Definitely.. What you're doing with your girls, it's great and you all gonna have great memories...
Thanks. They're pretty special girls!
naiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiil gunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!
Thanks for watching!
Hahaha, I came here from the caption, prepared to disagree with everything you said, because the bald headed man is cool! No, not James Wright, but he's cool too! Anyhow, I liked your version of the stool as well. And honestly, doing a thing is the important part, even if you dont like it as much as someone else's. And you had your girls working with you, which is even cooler. I used to have mine in my shop years ago as well.
Rex is an excellent teacher, and stools are a wonderful project for learning. You keep on defending the bald guy, and thanks for watching!
I'm so jealous. My son won't even enter my shop.
Way to go girls! You are awesome 😎!
Dad, you gonna need a big gun in order to keep the boys away when they get older😉.
No worries on that. I'll tell my wife you said I need another though.
I am working on my second Moravian stool - I think yours was lovely - not as lovely as your daughters
Thank you. They're fun, aren't they? And I never realized how much we'd love and use ours. I see more in our future.
The things I do on my jointer should be illegal.
Brother, you and me both.
A very entertained by your methodologies I found your videos interesting. The only point I see I need a comment on his safety. Your daughters don't have their hair pulled back and they don't have any glasses neither do you! Any shop weather is professional or at home should I hear it's a good safety practices as mundane as they seem. There's no probability for s*** happens! And you certainly wouldn't want anything to happen to your daughters. I have three daughters and they all know how to run power tools repair cars Drive tractors Exedra and safety is our number one rule! Keep up the good work the practice more safety
Thanks for watching, and I appreciate your concern. We don't usually wear glasses when we're working with powered sanders or drills/drivers. Maybe we should? You may or may not have noticed that we wear them when we're using other power tools like the bandsaw and the table saw. Ear protection too. The hair thing was a blind spot for me until somebody pointed it out to me. I try to watch for it now, but long hair isn't part of my experience. I have to train myself as well as them.
Stool. 😂😂😂
I would take your stool over Rex’s any day. Thanks for a refreshing video and including your children.
Thanks, Thomas!
