- Made a mistake on a woodworking project? Don’t worry, it happens to the best of us! In this video, I share how I dealt with a step tool that turned out too heavy and how I creatively repurposed it into something useful.
Let's turn our woodworking errors into successes and find practical solutions for our own projects!

Personally, I believe that showing mistakes is more educational. You get to tell us what wanted to do…and then show us your fix…or “rework” or “redesign.”
It is nice to see a radial arm saw being used in UA-cam videos. I bought my first radial arm saw second hand in 1991, and have since added three more to my collection. A negative hook angle blade installed in a radial arm saw will greatly reduce the tendency for those types of saws to try to self-feed / climb cut when cross cutting, which is a problem that you mentioned in this video. I use Forrest Chopmaster blades in my radial arm saws, however, less expensive blades are also available. A higher end 12" radial arm saw that is less likely to deflect, such as the older Delta 12" turret arm saws, also seem to help reduce the risk of self-feed / climb cut problems.
Good video. Great twist at the end!
Awesome, glad you liked this one. Thanks for watching!
I think a Festool Domino and track saw, a electric sliding miter saw and
3/4" (aka 18mm ) Baltic birch ply wood would have made that stool more friendly to build and use. True Baltic ply is incredibly strong and straight unlike box store construction lumber.
Oh yes, ive never made anything without a mistake somewhere. The beauty of woodworking you can usually fix it without anyone noticing. How do you like that WEN bandsaw? I need to get me one, just not sure what to get.
I’m not a big fan of the Wen. I’ve had it a couple of years now and have tried setting it up several times. But no matter what I do, I can’t resaw on it.
just remember, to err is human, to really foul up, you need a computer
Hahahaaa
Also, it’s only an error unless you refuse to correct it, then it’s a mistake
