A quality video of a type I wish more people would do. Beginner and intermediate woodworkers have been left in the dust by an overwhelming sense that we don't watch videos. The guys that used to do them are oo busy selling the 5 new tools I didn't know (or care) about. So, thank you for doing this video.
Great video! As a not beginner but not experienced woodworker myself, I love seeing you run into the same roadblocks I do throughout a project. i.e. cutting into the workbench, waffleing on design choices, and having friends that are bad at math. Keep up the great content!
Great that you incorporate all the pitfalls that are not just rookie mistakes, but are even ones a skilled person might make in a last-minute rush! Sometimes these little things can be discouraging setbacks, much nicer to avoid them!
@@Ashitaka1110 I'd been watching comments waiting for someone to answer, and I'm so glad you did. I also almost commented the first day that it's probably some crazy contraption Izzy came up with and...what do you know, it is!
I love that key holder thing. It is so cool and looks fancy. I don't have different types of wood, but I am sure I can stain and paint to create the contrast! People be getting these!
Loved this video and truly believe the woodworker UA-cam-space need a lot more of these types of builds. Not only is it accessible to the viewer but even if they don't end up making the exact same thing, it servers as great inspiration. 10/10 👏🙏❤️
I think this is the first of your videos I've seen, and after the first couple of projects, I started to become a fan, then the Mitch Hedberg reference sealed the deal!
Okay, I saved these project vids for future use. I got a kick out your trick to lube the screws. My grandfather taught me that when I was very young and he was "helping" us build build a fence. Thanks for the (another) great video.
Thank you for cutting into your workbench with the jigsaw! I have done that so many times, when you bogged down, I immediately knew why! But now, I don't feel so bad. :)
I did the exact same thing to my Saw Stop, same exact cause. Hard to figure out at first as my hands were nowhere near the blade. But, that fresh, shiny little gouge gave it away after some looking around.
Thank you for making this. When I have a set goal or plan, I enjoy woodworking. But give me a blank slate and it's Kryptonite to Superman. I like these ideas!
As a newbie watching you stick the tape measure in the zero clearance insert on the miter saw for the stop block was genius! Now I gotta build a zero clearance insert...
As someone who is "getting into woodworking" and has amassed a large amount of scraps and offcut sized lumber, this is just the kind of video I need. Decision paralysis about what to make is a real thing especially when you've never made anything before... there are just too many ideas and I don't know how to make any of them. Yet.
Great fun vid, mate! One small thing I'd add about cutting the curves - I always cut mine into 6mm ply first, then use that as a template to route the curve onto the actual workpiece. It's just so much easier to sand the ply to the final shape. If it needs to look symetrical I'll just make half the curve, then mirror that to create the full template. It may sound like more steps but it's less work overall - especially if you're making multiples. Plus, if you mess it up, you can just make a new template - you haven't trashed your actual workpiece. I know this is far from revolutionary and loads of people do it this way. Just thought I'd share it for more beginner woodworkers.
Loved this one. I am a post beginner beginner. I thought the key holder was clever. If you are addressing real beginners, I suggest you highlight the gripper. I think it is one of the best things to have with a table saw, and increases safety a ton. P.S. killed my blade with the miter gauge on my Sawstop too. Feel your pain.
Jon. I have been watching since your first video. This one was incredible. Love the quick first time builds ideas. Also the shelf and key hanger was brilliant and a great design. Looking forward to trying out my own!
This is the first video of yours I have watched. I loved the projects. Above that, I loved the tips you incorporated in the builds. Because of that you have my subscription to your channel. Thank you for the video.
Dude I really like the key holder shelve. I don't know if you had mentioned that it was going to be that so I was curious as to where you were going it and I was surprised in a good way.
5:08 I have done almost that exact same bench damage. 8:05 I have that same tub of wax. I am 47. I believe I will still have it when I'm 77 (assuming I make it that far). 16:37 I build a sort of floating shelf (almost) style step that cats can use to walk up the side of a wall like a series of steps. I frame up the step with a similar dimension of wood with mitered corners. I most definitely sneak up on that cut. Right. Back to the shop to build more cat trees.
Thanks for the reminder ... I've had my tub for about 30 years now, and I need to tell my kids so when I pass in another 30 years, they'll know what to do with it.
I really like the magnetic key holders! And my t-shirt is neatly tucked into my khakis--a lot of us old guys have stopped wearing jeans. I do enjoy a new pair of new balance sneakers, though.
Great video. Tool questions: 1. How is the Wen drill press, and why not use it for the tricky holes with little room for error? 2. Is that accordion clamp rack something you made or bought?
Tge last one was pretty cool. I honestly thought that it was only going to be wall art. Instead of the shelf added, I thought it was going to be hung on the wall with some sort of LED lighting behind it. Thanks for adding ideas
I just love watching your videos. Inspires me…until I get in the shop. Then it all goes to hell in a hand basket. Lol you make it look and sound so simple. I love love this shelf.
The Mitch Hedburg joke earned you a subscriber.
Watched the whole video while taking a #2
Me too. 😂
Eat some fiber
Saaaaame
I call it the think tank 😂
You might have benifited from the first project...
As a not beginner but not experienced woodworker myself, I love seeing you run into the same roadblocks
Please more of these types of videos. Great ideas, and help give me, as a beginner, to help justify my tool investment to my significant other :)
You got it!
I’m definitely keen for more of these type of videos
That miter saw is the most beautiful thing i've ever seeen.

Thanks for watching Corey. These are definitely A TON more work and less profitable, but I think they are really important to keep making
Wow spline trick without the jig is awesome!!!

Nothing like a good waffle
@@Lincolnstww Maybe it needs Syrup? or Maple?
@@user-zq6pj5jo8jor maple syrup?
I loved the Hedberg ref.
I did that (at 2'45"). Different setup, but I also hit the miter fence. Welcome to the club.
Great that you incorporate all the pitfalls that are not just rookie mistakes, but are even ones a skilled person might make in a last-minute rush! Sometimes these little things can be discouraging setbacks, much nicer to avoid them!
Where did you get the folding clamp panel rack?? That looks awesome!
I want to know too!
Tried to find anything about it. Jorgenson clamps but can't find anything that exists. Homemade diy? Or prorotype???

Hedberg reference, subscribed. Keep up the great videos man! I'm only 2 years in and these are some great ideas!
That shelf at the end is absolutely dope. I might have to try that with a bunch of my scraps as well. Spray finishes also make it so much easier.

Projects sure are getting complicated out there. Thanks for bringing the fun and simplicity back into woodworking.
Thanks for leaving these in!

The last project was great!! I mean, they were all great but the surprise of the last project really got me. thanks!
Didn't know where the last project was going, but liked where it ended up. Thank you for the idea

Love it. As per usual, you deliver extra value in your video. Good pacing, good humour, good tips, down-to-earth, useful advice. Honestly, great work.
I liked the third project. The magnets really made it work for me.
The shelf was a great way to help with your Scrap Solution, not problem.
Thank you for cutting into your workbench with the jigsaw! I have done that so many times, when you bogged down, I immediately knew why! But now, I don't feel so bad. :)
Love that shelf build, def gonna give that a go. More builds like these would be great to see!
Always informative, always entertaining! One tip I really needed was the “disposable plastic spoon as epoxy applicator,” so many thanks for that.
That shelf was GORGEOUS! Dang. Now I want one.
I used the same epoxy to inset identical magnets into my fireplace mantle top to aid the Christmas stocking holders. 👍🏼
it is nice to see some projekts there are low budget and easy for ones. keep up the good work! from Little Thy Denmark
I cut oak in circles, but I rough cut and then use a MDF pattern and pattern bit on the router to get them perfect.
I did the exact same thing to my Saw Stop, same exact cause. Hard to figure out at first as my hands were nowhere near the blade. But, that fresh, shiny little gouge gave it away after some looking around.
Yassssss please make more of these videos! I’m a beginner (at 61) and you make me believe!❤
Thank you for making this. When I have a set goal or plan, I enjoy woodworking. But give me a blank slate and it's Kryptonite to Superman. I like these ideas!
What are those connectors called holding your four parallel clamps together?
looks like Jorgensen clamps....I can't find anything about it.
It's an expanding clamp setup sold by Izzy Swan, but it appears to be sold out. Woodpeckers sells one based on his design, but it's $130.
@@Rycel2001 thanks for the info.
My word your videos are getting better and better! I love it. Hoping someday to get to this level
Really cool projects. Thanks for sharing and the best regards from Germany. 😊
As a newbie watching you stick the tape measure in the zero clearance insert on the miter saw for the stop block was genius! Now I gotta build a zero clearance insert...
I use candle stubs to lubricate screws. In the past I've used soap.
great projects that anyone should be able to do
Keep up the good work
That spline method with the table saw blew my mind
These videos are great! You should have a million subs. And the Mitch Hedberg joke was spot-on.
Much appreciated - love Mitch
Sorry I was late. Was out of town picking up puppies. Thanks for taking the time to make this and share it with us. Good work as always!

More, please.
That last one was worth the wait.
Go Tigers!
That was dope, thanks. Maybe to drive home the "denominator" you could have displayed the dimensions as fractions, all with 4 in the bottom.
Hadn't seen the expanding / self spacing clamps before. Wow, why didn't I think of that?
Young man, you are an inspiration!!!
That shelf is beautiful
Great fun vid, mate!

I've never seen the tape trick for glue squeezeout. That's brilliant!
Love seeing project videos every now and then. Thank you.
We've been on a projects roll this year - having a lot of fun with it
This was great! Thanks for all the tips and encouragement to just get out in the shop and try something new. More videos like this would be awesome.
what is the name of the glue up clamps you were using that seem to be attached to a scissor? They look like Jorgensen.
If I can get through a single woodworking session without a a single “idiot” then I’m having a good day. Thanks for leaving these in!
I've been a subscriber for a long time. This is your best video to date.
Woodworking content is amazing ....... Mitch Headberg reference earned my sub 😀
Organized and pure of heart. ❤
Three great gifts. Thanks Jon! Great teaching moment too!
Hey any way to use up scraps other then for heat is always a plus

Very nice Jon. Stool for my stool. Lots of one liners in this one.
Your videos are always so enjoyable to watch. I always learn something new and your dad jokes and general humor keep me smiling and entertained.
😂 Pretty good impression! Mitch Hedberg was the man! Loved that guy's material.
My grandfather taught me to keep a basic bar of soap handy when assembling. Drag a screw tip across the soap and it slides right into the workpiece.
I really like the magnetic key holders! And my t-shirt is neatly tucked into my khakis--a lot of us old guys have stopped wearing jeans. I do enjoy a new pair of new balance sneakers, though.
Thanks, please keep building stuff I can afford to try
As a beginner wood worker please do more of these kind of videos, definitely enjoyed them
I LOVED THIS! Thanks!
A Mitch Hedberg joke/reference in 2023? Respect! Great set of ideas for made gifts.
As a owner of a small manufacturing company in the United States thanks for mentioning made in the USA.
