Leah is a blessing. She's like that one favorite teacher that you had in school that inspired you and made learning fun.
🙂
I'm hot for teacher!
Ikr
@@alcopley7684 you might have a difficult road getting there but, I agree she is great.
Yes, exactly. She's terrific.
Hi Leah! I am a 57 year old woman and love your videos. You are my inspiration to my new found hobby of woodworking! Because of your videos, I have taken over my husband’s garage and have been researching and buying tools of all kinds! I built two cornhole boards and caulked my bathroom. I also cancelled most of my UA-cam notifications except yours! I don’t want to miss a thing you have to teach me. You make me feel like I CAN do it and so I try! My husband hears me say all the time “ Leah says....”! Thank you so much for explaining things in a simple way I can understand!
Great video, thank you. I grew up in a home with "tools", with no differentiation between rough tools and fine tools. As a woodworker now, there is a world of difference. Well done.
thank you! 🙂
Ya know, every time I get ready to watch one of your videos the feeling of "Why should I" fills my head. Then during the video the "Because" part shows up. Thank you.
I vividly learned the difference years ago when I commissioned a platform bed by a friend's husband. I thought he was a furniture maker, but he was a carpenter. What I got was nailed and glued together. He screwed hinges into plywood end grain! All over the bed, he tried to hide his inaccurate cuts with wood filler which, of course, didn't take stain like the wood did. I learned my lesson, and have tried to make my own work speak for itself.
A Frend
gasp! omg. poor bed
I remember my dad telling me, many decades ago, that anyone can build a box out of wood. The difference, he said, is in how it's made that distinguishes the craftsman from the woodworker. He instilled into me the desire to be a craftsman and to always take pride in my work and do my best no matter how long the job may take.
Hey Lester, nice to see you again!
Hey Leah. Been a rough start to the new year with some illness, but I am getting back in the saddle again. Keep up the good work with the videos and hope you have a very happy and prosperous 2018. God Bless.
You are a genius and heaven sent. As a single woman owning a very old colonial you have given me the confidence to handle so, so many projects without panicking and feeling helpless! Thank you for your time and all the effort you put in making quality teaching videos, wishing health , prosperity and many blessings from Connecticut!
If had been doing woodworking for 50 years (which of course I haven't) and I still wouldn't know all the difference in carpentry/woodworking tools. Thank goodness I have you Leah to keep me straight. Bless you Leah and hope you had wonderful New Year!
Happy New Year, Becky!
He was also an open minded good person back when many/ most wouldn’t teach women things like that. Now because of him, we get your kind an easy going ways backed with a wealth of talent and knowledge. You never cease to impress me with how vast your area of expertise is.
Looking forward another year of great videos and content.
Thank you so much, Clint, you are very kind!
Always handling the perfect topics, perfectly. I have learned so much from your channel because you explain things so clearly. Thank you so much Leah. Stay safe.
Leah, you are the blessing to us. You are such a great teacher. I didn't know what the difference between carpentry and woodworking until now. Thank you!
I used to work in a shipyard as a kid, and the yard workers there had to shift from carpentry to woodworking, often on the same job. Your explanation is perfect, simply a matter of what the moment needs for the work in hand. LOVE this channel, a class in a single vid!
Your videos are invaluable. You are a living treasure. Ted must be so proud to have taught you. Your powerful explanations knock the fear right out of me. When I get to the end of each video, I honestly feel confident enough to approach a similar project. It is not a small thing to learn from such an accomplished and person, who is kind enough to share. Hitting the yard sales tomorrow on a tool hunt mission. Thank you soooo much!
Leah you are the best. The information you share on this channel is always practical, relevant, and clear. Thank you!
Leah, thank you--what a great, engaging and enjoyable video! I've lived 6+ decades and never heard an explanation as clear as this one! Bless you--
Leah,You're such a wonderful teacher. You make topics such easy to understand. Thank you.
Hi Leah, I just want to thank you for all of your great videos. Your expertise and generosity are much appreciated. Happy New Year! :)
Happy New Year, Tom!
Another great video, Leah. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge in such an understandable way!
I've only just discovered this channel a week ago or so, but, damn, this is gold! Leah, you're an absolutely amazing teacher.
I never really thought about the difference. But know that you bring it up, get exactly what you mean
I just wanted to say thanks for all your teachings ..... It has made me more knowledgable in all my projects. You're amazing and as always thanks for sharing.
Thank you for explaining the difference. It helps with my confidence to know why I need to do a certain thing a specific way.
I love your videos. I was a pretty good electrician before becoming an acupuncturist. I was always a bit envious of my dad & grandfather though because they were great at carpentry & plumbing & couldn’t build a box that was truly square. Your channel is encouraging me to experiment & gain new skills. I appreciate you ending your videos with “You can do this.” What a great teacher you are!
Thanks for calming us all down and layin’ some knowledge on us. It sticks very well.
Thank you for sharing your journey with us! You're right! The difference between a carpenter and a woodworker is, "One eighth of an inch!" Love it.
Hey Leah! Love your show! I would like to add that a primary difference between the two is joinery. An old master woodworker/furniture/cabinet maker taught me that a true woodworker doesn’t use nails and screws but only uses wood joints, dowels and pegs. Keep the good stuff coming! Love ya!
Your videos are awesome. Watched another and sharpened my chisel to shaving sharpness for the first time ever. Great work.
I’ve made a living as a carpenter in years past and want to get into woodworking now that I’m disabled...
I’ve been mulling over which machine to purchase, a planer?, or a jointer?, a sander and a dust collection and so on but I haven’t made any decisions yet, I’m sorting out as many of my carpentry tools that will still be useful, and cleaning them up
Keep up the good work, I enjoy your energy and overall presentation... THANKS!
This video will help me immensely! Thank you for sharing Leah!
Hi Leah,
Just wanted to drop a lime thanking you for awesome explanations.... I've been in the carpentry/cabinet making trade for almost 30 years now and enjoy your videos.
Thanks for your content and encouragement.
Hi Nathan, thank you so much! I really appreciate hearing from fellow skilled tradespeople!
Love your videos. No nonsense, straightforward and to the point. You make videos about the subject matter, rather than some subject matter in a video that's just a vehicle for promoting you :) Thank you.
you're very welcome, and thank you for your kind comment!
Thank you, again! For teaching me all those things that my Dad never lived long enough to teach me.
Thank You, Happy New Year, Leah
Great distinction. I love her teaching. Very helpful.
Absolutely love watching your videos and learning from you. I am a visual learner and it helps that you show what you’re doing as you explain it. Keep em coming!
glad to be of help!
You make the absolute BEST videos... I'm just now getting into woodworking and it seems quite daunting at times, but your videos give me courage to try things and cast aside any fear of failure. Thank you so much! - Adam
Adam, Good luck with all of your future projects. 👍
Thanks Leah! Your videos are the best. I watch a lot of videos on woodworking (especially for beginners cause that's what I am) and by far you have some of the best stuff for beginners. As you said, simple stuff that you would NEVER know until someone tells you.
My pleasure Antonio
When I did my apprenticeship I learnt how to make bespoke oak kitchens, windows, staircases, etc but also had to learn how to pitch a roof, construct a timber building etc. As for pencil lines - when cutting by hand there were three options - leave the line showing, cut half the line or completely take the line out. The joys of learning in the family business!
Leah... This topic was one I never thought of. Learning something new every time I watch your video. Thanks!
🙂
Thank you Leah you are by far my favorite and it's great to see you
Very, very interesting - I love your demonstration & explanation on the "marking knife".
thanks, Paul!
I love you, if I had the time I would watch your videos all day. Your delivery and positivity towards the human spirit inspires me to continue messing up my projects until I finally get them right, thank you.
Joe, Thanks! Such kind words!
You are so generous with your information and wonderfully understandable. Thank you for sharing. Hugs💜
Thankyou for sharing. I could watch your videos all day
I totally agree with you on this one Leah. Thank you for sharing all these vids. Ive been watching your videos for years in spurts and you explain things very thoroughly.
thank you, Joe, and thank you for watching!
My god, this just ripped a childhood memory of mine out, when I first attempted what I thought was carpentry when I was around 11, but now know to be woodworking, as I built a table and it wobbled due to one of the legs being an eighth inch too short. I never realized how important the distinction between the two was.
Glad you'er back. I had been a "home carpenter". I enjoyed learning woodworking from a teacher that was a woodworker. Over the years I have improved and enjoyed being a woodworker much more than building large structures. I am also older and large structures are now out of the question. Paul Sellers books and videos has helped me greatly and of course your videos as well. Thank you.
you're very welcome!
Great video. All are easy to understand and very helpful. Thank you.
Good video, your examples made the distinctions really clear
HI LEAH! Awesome and exact! I worked with a Master Woodworker/Cabinetmaker for a year and picked up an enormous amount of knowledge I wouldn't of if I just worked as a carpenter!
Leah, I recently discovered your channel. Thank you so much for the lessons! I'm feeling very confident heading into my weekend home project. I'm know if I get stuck, you'll have the lesson I need!
🙂
thank you Leah . i take my hat off to both carpenters and woodworking ppl. i am a broke down 65 yr old with the will to lean again . i got a garage with some tools in it now . lots of fun . i have been a machinist ( navy trained made parts for sub and other things 10yrs) an electronics bench tech 20yrs and last but not least my first job where i dealt with ppl ( lol ) corrections officer 12 yr till i lost my back . how ever i still can do some things so wood working it shall be . love the info you put out bless you .
Even the videos I don't think I'm interested in at first, I can't turn them off! Loving all this information
Leah, I have learned so much from you !!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Showing your videos to my daughter so she knows "girls" can do ANYTHING
Thanks for being you
Leah, that is a very lesson, its well illustrated with good shots of the small detail. I have a 7 year old Son that is learning Carpentry with me, your lessons are great for Him . . . Chris . . . Norwich England
The willingness to share your knowledge with the public in a friendly manner shows the selfless and warm heart you possess.
I would say the greatest thing about your channel is it is not just informative but not intimidating.
Thank you for sharing this information, I didn't knew it anda now I realise. Thanks again Leah.
Hi Leah
Another great video my dear !!!
As a finish carpenter who has 40 plus years at it, yes there are a wide variety of carpenters and woodworkers out there. I have worked with framing carpenters out there that make some woodworkers look like amateurs!!
The crew I have worked with for the past 12 years, let’s just say we try to get pretty precise building high end homes.
I have also had the pleasure ( 😮) of working with some so called finish carpenters that I wouldn’t let frame a wall !!!
Have a wonderful day !!
Would love to see you do more videos about woodworking. I’ve used your channel as a resource while renovating my house. I regularly build furniture and cabinetry so I call myself a woodworker, but those skills didn’t really translate to construction! I was clueless on certain aspects of carpentry and I knew nothing about simple plumbing skills etc. You have a really wide knowledge base across all of those areas and you really have a gift for teaching. I just wanted to express appreciation for what you do, and I’ll be checking out your patreon.
Excellent explanation! A very informative video. Thank you!
That is awesome. My Dad was a woodworker for a hobby. He was a true old school woodworker, hand tools. No power tools except for his jig saw and drill. Thanks for your great videos
you're welcome, Tom, and thanks for commenting!
Very informative, thank you very much for explaining and illustrating the difference.
I'm buying a marking knife today! Thanks Leah. Outstanding as always
Great explanation. I’ve wondered about that. I really enjoy your videos
Thanks, Leah, this was very interesting!
Well said Leah !!!
I'm a retired carpenter/ woodworker been at it for over 50 years. Big thumbs up👍👍
thanks, Peter!
Liked and subscribed. Leah your videos are making me smarter and I really appreciate you sharing your tips and tricks. You explain things in a way where just about anyone can understand. Keep up the good work my friend. :)
As a journeyman carpenter, your insights are encouraging me to be a woodworker. Your insights and knowledge are so encouraging and inspiring! God bless you!
thank you so much!
WOW ! You're awesome Leah. Thanks for the education!!!
Thank you! I just start doing woodworking and you’re video just make clear for my why I make lots of mistake when I build my stuff. I’m doing wood working but thinking more like carpenter so I always have an eighth of an inch off to my project and I couldn’t figure it out. Well I’m going to buy my proper tool now.. thank you
🙂
Wow! You make things clear and memorable. Thanks
you're very welcome!
Great topic and vid. Thank you. Coming from a family of machinists, I preferred woodworking (furniture) as a hobby. All my uncles called me a butcher, as they worked with tolerances within a thousands of an inch! Just goes to show you can never win.
🙂
Great video... thanks for the great insight! Appreciate your channel.

It is funny how language effect how people think about things.
In Swedish we have "snickare", who is the jack of all trades when it comes to woodworking with dry wood. Some people are "only" byggnadssnickare (specialist at using wood in exteriors or interiors (like door fittings and walls) of houses), or grovsnickare (who do very rough woodworking, like scaffolding or concrete molds) and on the other end of the spectrum, we have finsnickare (who do things like jewelery boxes and other precision woodworking) and möbelsnickare (who make furniture). There's a lot of other kinds of "***snickare". What we don't have is any words that exactly match "carpenter" and "woodworker" in English. The Swedish word träarbetare literary translate to woodworker, but is an umbrella term for a person that do any kind of work with wood.
The Swedish word timmerman (litterary: timberman) is sometimes (correctly) used as a translation of carpenter, if the carpenter in question do scaffolding or rough frameworks of houses. But timmerman also have an older, but still often used, meaning of someone who build structures out of timber, often timber that hasn't dried, often with an ax as the primary tool. (From how the word sounds, I'm guessing the English word carpenter originally meant someone who made carriers (carpentrius in Latin), but I've never heard it used like that in English).
We also have an even larger Swedish vocabulary for people that do different kind of thing from raw (fresh) wood, as they don't count as snickare, snickare only work with dry wood. E.g. someone who do Windsor chairs out of fresh wood is a pinnstolmakare, but someone who make the same kind of chair out of dried wood is a pinnstolsnickare. Making things directly from fresh wood used to be much more common in Sweden than making things from dried wood, and you really have to think and do things very different when working in fresh wood than in dry wood.
Martin Jansson, wish my memory were better as I enjoyed your comment. In addition to learning and appreciating the cultural differences, I think it will help me to find the best people when interviewing and hiring people to build my home. Very interesting! Thank you!
LEAH, always enjoy your video content in knowledge, enthusiasm, attitude, ease and love of teaching and sharing. I’m 57 and your conveyance of the depth in which you love what you do you inspires me, not only to just get in there and do it but each time, to strive for something better without being discouraged with what I’ve done. With you I’m convinced that I will always be learning and enjoying woodworking!Thank you!
Hi Martin, thanks for sharing this...this is very interesting! I like learning about how things are in other countries.
So........what. A long way to not even get to the point
Well, I found your explanation very interesting. Thanks and cheers from south Brazil!
Leah that was so interesting and never realised about marking tool. I’ll be looking for one of those.
Wow, great job. I never heard it put that way before. Thank you!
Another great video! So well done.
you are a real teacher.thank you.
Great video. Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately I don't have that special line tool so I used a boxcutter and I have to say I immediately noticed the difference. I'm making two benches for our breakfast nook and I used your method for the second bench and the difference, too me, is VERY noticeable. I did some other things too however (like squaring off the 2x4s). Thanks for sharing.
glad the video was helpful to you!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge.... amazing!!!
This was incredible. Thank you so much Leah. Just when I was hoping I wouldn't need too many more tools start woodworking, you throw one in that I probably need... the marking knife. Still going to make my own marking gauge though. And for now, my X-Acto knife will have to do :).
An X-Acto knife is a great alternative.
Thanks Leah, I have learned so much from you. RESPECT!!! Have a great 2018
You're welcome, Jerold, and Happy New Year to you too!
Leah you are incredibly good thank you for of your advice
My comment: you are an amazing presenter! You are inspiring. Well done Jane!
Great explanation that I appreciate. I have seen your vids and have learned from them all. I will be getting to them all. I'm not a viewer who make a lot of comments, but i needed to get one out.
Aw, Leah! Now I have to buy a marking knife! What a great example to demonstrate! Thank you!
🙂
Excellent video and sage advise.
Neat, never heard of a "marking knife"...learn something every time I watch you...
Wow...I am amazed about what I just learned. I must watch this video one more time and I will feel more confident about few “carpentry” crafts I want to make for myself. I am by no mean a woodworker; we will see what the future brings!! Hooa!!!!!!
🙂
Awesome! Great comparisons!
You are a great teacher Mrs Leah, Thank youuu!!!
Thanks Leo!
Leah your video is brilliant in its simplicity 👍
thanks, Troy!

Love the channel. So good to see a leftie at work.
One step up from carpenter - Shipwright, work on the scale of a builder with water always looking for a way in...
