Woody is a good teacher: very patient, and keeps commentary upbeat and to the point. I know what you mean about the power tools: I love them but the noise they make is rather terrifying...and I did feel that way about the sewing machine when I was first learning to sew, too. 😄
These are really the most cozy and comforting videos to watch while knitting in bed! Since I'm not well enough to travel to see my family this year, they have been highlight of my holiday season. You both have such kind and patient energy, I love how you both explain things ❤️
The first gift The Hubs ever purchased for me was a DEWALT scroll saw. He brought it into my place of work. I was an office manager all business like. The people who knew me well were like…oh he’s serious…he really gets her! That was just over 25 delightful years ago. He turned out to be the love of my life. ❤️ 🌈🌈🦋🦋
My ex-husband would never show me how to use any of the power tools. But after he left, I had to mow the lawn with this very big lawn tractor. I kept going through mower belts, but I had so much fun.❤
The first time I used a sewing machine, I thought I was going to break the machine. The first time I used a lathe, I thought I would break me. Glad to see you're not alone for your first time with a table saw.
this is definitely how I felt using a sewing machine for the first time - especially since I had a baby sitter who told me a horror story about sewing through her nail bed. (ouch.) I am really enjoying the learning videos Claude.
Lovely video….. would love to see the finished project when it’s done. The different types of wood were stunning. I’m trying to guess what it is, but I don’t think I’m right! ❤
Oh so scary. I definitely felt scared the first time I used a sewing machine, but I was also a child and my mom had told stories of people sewing through their fingers.😅
"Least amount of digit in the way!!" Love that! "Compromise on aesthetic for safety" has been my motto for several years now since I started cycling for commuting (Skirts? Only non circular to the knee. Nice elegant blouses? Most of the time, no. Vintage hair up-dos? Nope, won't fit under helmet, or will get squished. Intricate hair braids or buns? Nope, same problem with helmet. High heels? Possible, but risky. Makeup? You're sweating, so forget it. Oh, and don't forget your garish hi-vis vest!)
I laughed so hard when the camera fell over. I started a coughing jag, just getting over the creeping crud, and no lie had to go change my pants 😂 TMI. I hope the recipients of these beautiful cutting boards appreciate the fact you were prepared to sacrifice fingers for their gifts.
How generous and brave of Woody to trust us with his face! (I'm worried now that that sounds like sarcasm, but I really mean it.) This was such a fun video! I'm looking forward to Part 2. 😊
Having just opened my Christmas gift from Mom and stepdad, handmade gifts are so delightful! (Stepdad has taken up glass working again!) I'm so used to seeing fiber work gifts that I'm always pleasantly surprised when hard goods are the project! Also Woody is a lovely project buddy!
So excited to see this! I love working with wood and knitting and many of the crafts and arts you've tried. I made a cutting board in highschool using a Very similar process, and I absolutely love it. It's also just cool to see you and Woody talk out the different steps. And Sagen being adorable of course.
With my pots and being legally blind I tend to almost fall over so when the tripod fell I was thinking oh god not again lol 😆 also Woody is so amazing to you. 🫶👍
Brings back happy memories of my dad teaching me to use the table saw :) (It's less scary with hearing protection to knock the overstimulation down, and better for long-term hearing. Also, yes I was equally scared when my mom taught me to use the sewing machine 😂)
My sister got married and moved into a house with an old wood burning stove as the main source of heating. The first year I helped them get the wood in the shed before winter, I was so nervous about using any of the power tools. My brother and brother-in-law forbid me from using the chainsaw, and I couldn't use the log splitter because I wasn't strong enough to get the logs onto the table, so instead I got the honor of using the saw. To say is was nerve wracking is a bit of an understatement, but funny enough, it didn't take very long to get comfortable using the machine. The next day I got the choice between cutting or stacking wood in the shed, and I was more than happy to get right back to cutting. I still prefer middle school woodworking class to the back breaking job of cutting logs, but I do believe that most things become easier and more fun with practice. Maybe woodworking won't become your next go-to hobby, but it's always fun to try something new, just to be able to say you tried it and you made something with your hands.
I remember being 17 and working as an au pair for the grandkids of my grandmother’s best friend over October holidays. Was sent outside to chop wood for the fire with an axe. No, I’d never done this before. Then again, I was involved in bringing a herd of cows down from the high field and I’d never done that before either having been raised in the city for the previous 17 years!
@@cassmacdonald-perfectlyimp2486 That sounds absolutely magical. Maybe not the wood chopping, but the animal herding for sure. I always loved being out in the country side. I grew up in a very small town, pretty much a hamlet, on one side there was an ancient forest, and on the other side there were farms, fields and animals. My parents rented a small house for a couple of summers in a row. It was on a farm with milk cows, pigs and chickens. I don't know how much help we kids were, but the owner was kind enough to let us help get the cows in and out of the barn most days, as well as love on the baby calves and piglets as much as we wanted. A short bike ride away, his son had his own farm, no animals except a few barn cats, but what he lacked in cute calves, he made up for by having three kids around my age, as well as a couple of cool tractors and a piled to the rafters with hay bales that we were allowed to play in. I remember falling between hay bales and having to climb out again, all summer long.
Straight to the medieval torture! Haha. I also wanted to be a goth when I grew up ~ but as my favourite Hard Times headline reads: “Aging Punk Loses Battle with Comfortable Clothes.”
You are braver than me. I dearly love woodworking, but I will never own a table saw. 😅 Props to Woody for the aluminium tape on the wood bits of the clamp. That is a handy tip if I get a set of clamps like those. While the video and sound seemed fine post 'the incident', I hope the camera is doing ok. 📸 It's nice to see you two doing crafts together. I look forward to part 2.
These are going to be gorgeous. Also, I like to think of big saws like that as opposite sewing. Instead of piecing things together it’s ripping things apart.
Most satisfying! Thank Woody for explaining the circular saw table to us, for us. Personally, made me think of my dad, uncle, and granddad. They did different kinds of woodworking. Dad made furniture, my uncle liked lathe-ing lamp bases and that sort of thing, and my granddad was a gunsmith who made hand made stocks for his weapons.
Hello Woody! Thank you for lending your expertise to teach Claude a new skill. I had a friend lose part of a digit in highschool, during a woodshop class. When my husband decided to take up woodworking, we saved up to get him a Saw Stop, for safety.
How brilliantly wholesome ♥️ whenever I get splinters or minor scratches from gardening with my grandma, I treat it like battle scars 😂 knitting injuries just don't seem as heroic and impressive 😂
Hello Woody! 👋 Woody’s pseudonym makes sense now! Also you both doing a project together is too cute… Except I was not prepared for HOW UTTERLY TERRIFYING this woodworking episode would be. Watching you use electric saws was so scary! I can’t even imagine doing it as I know I would not trust myself to not get impaled in the eye or lose a hand or something. So hats off to you! Although of course Woody would never let anything happen to you. 😊
Google advent candle. They can be quite common here in the U.K. and also in Europe, especially with more religious families. Bound to be a few stores online that have them. Alternatively, you can get wax pens and make your own by writing numbers 1-24 down a tall candle. The trick is to burn down to the next number each day before blowing out the candle, as Claude does.
Aaah the sounds of my childhood, wood getting cut into various pieces! We moved into a house that needed A LOT of DIY when I was a kid and the smell and sound of wood being cut is kind of imprinted onto my memories of the time. And yes, I was much more scared when I first used the sewing machine than the circular saw, not sure why! Did you use it enough to start feeling like your skin was moving at a different frequency than your bones? Not sure how else to describe the weird feeling that the vibration of the saw would give after a while.
Yes, that’s a vibration injury leading to white finger and other conditions. That’s why breaks are enforced these days. Turns out our nerves are really easy to damage. A now retired colleague of mine learned this the hard way. I got super sensitised to vibrations after chemo therapy, I find it very hard to use even a belt sander for more than about two minutes before my nerves go on fire.
Oh I know those looks from Viszlas only too well! The raging disappointment in you because you are clearly at fault for their not having their favourites to hand. Excellent tool time from Woody! I think I was as alarmed as you were with this the first time I got to grips with my first sewing machine! Power tools? By the time I bought my first crappy drill/driver I’d already been playing with power tools in orthopaedic operating theatres and also had a great uncle who had his own workshop and was happy to have his grand nieces learn from him. I showed no fear. Always safety first!
I've watched my grandpa and uncle use the big buzz saw and it's very load and seems very scary so I don't blame you Claudie for being scared of using the buzz saw
Woody you only loose a finger once he is right. Never done any actual woodworking projects but if you count the home Depot kids workshops count then I made a birdhouse and a bug catcher and só I'm definitely qualified for wood glue and a hammer
Maybe it's the constant exposure to sawdust but why do all men who do woodworking have the same sense of humour? The sawdust must get into their brains because I swear I've heard "you'll only use your finger once" joke from my dad, my brother, my cousins, my old woodworking teacher... It's like they delight in scaring the living daylights out if us! Which in my opinion makes me even more likely to accidentally cut a finger off! 🤦
Good to see Woody is out of witness protection 😂
😂😂😂
😂❤
Ahhhh, "Woody" is for his woodworking interest! Well now, it feels a little more wholesome😂
😂😂😂
@@yasmingeorge5173 I know right, it always used to give me a giggle.
Using power tools is one part confidence, five parts healthy respect for what they can do. Congrats on the new skill!

i cackled like a witch to that
We all love Woody! He is so sweet to you. Awwwwww!
Hi Woody!! So nice to meet you!!!! Thank you for taking such good care of our girl!!!
Hello Woody! I think this is my favorite episode so far of vlogmas 🖤
this is definitely how I felt using a sewing machine for the first time - especially since I had a baby sitter who told me a horror story about sewing through her nail bed. (ouch.)
I am really enjoying the learning videos Claude.
One of my earliest memories is of my dad running into the kitchen after catching his hand on the table saw. Glad you got a safety lesson

This was great fun. Thank you, Claudia and Woody!
Woody is a very good teacher.
What a wholesome and cooperative activity; making Christmas presents 🎁
Congratulations on the new skill
Good on you Claude! Woody is a hottie 😉
My mother always told me that any man worth having has tools and a pick-up truck. And he has to know how to use the tools. My mom is smart.
Claude did you just make an EYYYYYYYYYYYYYY TAKING IT FROM BEHIND joke??? 😂🤣😂 Amazing hahaha
I laughed so hard when the camera fell over. I started a coughing jag, just getting over the creeping crud, and no lie had to go change my pants 😂 TMI. I hope the recipients of these beautiful cutting boards appreciate the fact you were prepared to sacrifice fingers for their gifts.
😂
Woody is such a patient sweetheart 😊
You'll only loose a finger once 😂
Pretty sure my Grandad said the same thing the first time he taught me to use a hammer 😂
Learning to use power tools is so - well, empowering! Great work, the both of you. Those gifts are going to be gorgeous!
I see that Woody has a good 'ole Texas tuxedo on!!
This whole video was so sweet and endearing I could cry! Thank you for sharing
Brave! I have one of those sitting in the garage and still use the hand saw every time….
Love this episode! You are so brave, Claude and Woody is an excellent teacher! It's very nice to see him in the video! 🤩
This was delightful to watch, the kindness and humour of you both, awwww! Also, poor baby camera 😂
How generous and brave of Woody to trust us with his face! (I'm worried now that that sounds like sarcasm, but I really mean it.) This was such a fun video! I'm looking forward to Part 2. 😊
Ohhhh, are you making cutting boards? Those different woods are going to look really nice pressed together whatever they are.

two very important rules when machining of any kind no rings and never ever long sleves since those can get caught and making injuries vorse
How brilliantly wholesome ♥️ whenever I get splinters or minor scratches from gardening with my grandma, I treat it like battle scars 😂 knitting injuries just don't seem as heroic and impressive 😂
Yes. This is how it feels the first time sewing instead of losing a digit it's getting the fingers under the needle.
Hello Woody :) You guys are so wholesome together! ☺
How very talented mr woody is. Your not getting that blanket back now, I know that feeling well, my cat loves a good fluffy blanket

I need that clamp thing and afford it ofc but me need. Me have like 50 prodjects I can conr up with seing it

You can only lose a finger once ...10 times 🙈😅
I think he meant that after the first digit is lost, you either never use the tools again or you learn to keep your fingers at a safe distance.
Well and tecnical we can loose each finger in 3 parts😂
And technically you can loose each finger in 3 parts😂
The wood working is soooooo scary to watch for me. 😶
and the wiping of the glue was very satisfying 😁
Oh no! Know what you're making~ I spend way too much time watching woodworking videos on UA-cam...
