Just dropping in to say this young gal thinks you’re just fabulous. Your videos are my recent go to in the shop during those “I’ll bet there’s something I’m overlooking here..” moments.
There’s something so very grounding about your voice/ cadence that helps me with my ‘failure frustration’ haha.
I’m very grateful of your transparency when sharing your mistakes while creating such a validating and encouraging channel.
ANYWAYS, I gotta stop myself before I start really rambling lol.. I just wanted to share the impact you had on one gal.
Can’t wait to see what you have to share next time 🙂
Thanks, Carie! Your comment made my day! And I join you with my own failure frustration. Sometimes I think I'm genetically incapable of doing things right. I mean, I guess in all honesty I tend to do a lot of things right, but dang it if I don't mess up one or twenty things in a project. At least I don't feel alone, and you shouldn't either! 😄 Thanks again. 🙂
Great to see you making videos, I love them ...
Awesome! Thanks! 😄
I'm considering getting the ryobi nailer myself. A lot of people knock ryobi... But the drills are used at my work by the whole shop. All day, everyday. And when they come up with a new model, the old batteries still work with new tool.
Yeah, I've never really had problems with anything Ryobi. And it's hard to argue with actual customer reviews. I'm still not sure about the depth issue - I know how to adjust it, maybe I wasn't turning it far enough. I'll spend some time on that this week.
Harbor Freight sells these squeeze bottles in packs of three. Best thing ever for glue. Been using them for years. I do not understand why anyone likes the Gluebots. They are a clogging nightmare.
Hope you have better luck with the Ryobi than I did. Keep the exit for the nails nice and clean and give it a spritz of lube occasionally. Mine constantly would misfire if it wasn't squeaky clean. Plenty of power, though. That thing would sink a 2" brad into solid oak without breaking a sweat.
Love the coat joke. :-)
I use the plastic mustard and ketchup bottles. Clean them out real good and fill one with titebond 2 and one with TB3. 5ey are designed to set on the top so the glue is always ready to squeeze out.
Thanks for the info! 😄
@@Rusty_ok Good idea - thanks! 😄
I love the jokes!
😂
Nice snowflake mate 👍🏽
10/10 for that Dad joke! 😆😆😆
😂 Thanks! 😄
Don't buy ryobi on amazon. It is only sold at home depot. All the amazon stuff is refurbished and returns and has no warranty. You take a big risk and some times its even more expensive.
Interesting - thanks for the info!
good one!
Thanks! 😄
I just go to the store and buy the smallest bottle of glue for the job and when I am done I just through the rest away because when I get to the next project I have the same issue. All dried and clogged up... :-)
Dad Jokes are the best! You still have it! LOL
Thanks for the video!
LLAP
Thanks! "All dried and clogged up." Heh, heh, heh.
Funny Dad joke! I use a miter box like yours whenever I want a really accurate cut. IMHO it would have been pretty unsafe to cut those small pieces on a 12" miter saw. You did the right thing. Love the result. Thanks for doing this.
Thanks! And I totally agree about cutting those on the table saw. Makes me shudder to think about it!
"I need a new coat, NOW!", (s)he said. "But all the stores are closed due to the lockdown", (s)he continued. "I have a solution for that. Come outside".
I grabbed a tin of blue spray paint and in no time (s)he had a new coat. (s)he wasn't satisfied, though.
😂😂😂
I almost bought glue bottles until I discovered French’s mustard bottles have a ‘snap back’ cap which keeps the cap out of the way while running a thin bead of glue on an edge. They also have a fairly small opening which has been helping me avoid having glue all over everything. Was your glue extremely runny because it’s old? How long does it take for that to happen? I bought 2 gallons of 2 different glues which should last me quite a while.
Oh yeah, have you given up the name Newbie Dan?
I love the name "Newbie Dan", and in fact a version of that is my personalized license plate. But honestly, I'm not a newbie anymore, and I was getting enough comments about it (not negative comments, just comments) that I just got tired of replying the same thing to them. So now "I'm Dan Thomas, and welcome to my channel for the newbie woodworker. Or anyone, really." I think it's more "on point" anyway. 😄
Regarding glue, I bought a big jug of Titebond 2 several years ago, and I've only used about half of it. Mostly because when I use Baltic Birch plywood and Spax screws, I rarely need glue. The screws hold up quite well, and I can remove them if I ever need to. The glue got so thick in the jug that I had to add a small amount of water, which worked out fine, but I have no idea how thick or thin it's supposed to be. 😂 All that to say that I'm no expert on glue. But I just bought a squeeze bottle of Titebond 3 because I needed a longer set time, and it's runny by default, so maybe T2 is supposed to be runny also.
Regarding bottles, I just bought these from Amazon amzn.to/3nJr4lX and they're perfect. Not too large, and plenty of them so I can cut the tips to different sizes. Way better than the GluBot, in my opinion.
Cold - more coats Groan!
😂
Great video and unlike all the rest of the projects done by people with 40 years of woodworking experience on YTube who do everything perfectly the first time, your snowflake has some personality and shows that a real human being actually made it! I have been using my Ryobi Brad Nailer for about a year now. Great nailer however it is quite bulky. I also have an air powered Grex pin nailer that is really cool. Ryobi sells a battery powered air compressor that weighs about 5 pounds, that fits underneath my assembly table. You should really go look at one. They are just powerful enough for nailers. Hardly any more trouble to carry around than the Ryobi.
Thanks for the info on the air compressor. And there's a reason my logo is a screaming face - I make TONS of mistakes. 😂
Atta boy, checked another thing off your Honey-Do list! I've got a few of the wooden miter boxes, I find them at my local Habitat for Humanity store usually. They are usually brand new looking since a lot of people don't even know what they are any more lol
It's not completely off my list, because I need to make a couple more, and I'm gonna try to scale it down and see how that works. 😄Thanks for the tip!
Hi Dan, Great video and I like how the snowflake looks. Take care Dan. Cheers, Huw
Hi Huw! Thanks. 😄
OMG! Not enough coats. That was hilarious ! Run the glu-bot under hot water and clean it all out- bottle, tips rubber gaskets. It will work like new again.
😂And thanks for the tip.
I need more coats too.
😂
Dad joke to the 10th.
😂
Dad jokes are the best. 😆 I also just purchased that brad nailer from Home Depot. Looking forward to using it!
Great! Let me know how you like it.
Nice project! I’ve been wanting a cordless Brad nailer. Maybe I need to look further.
Thanks. I'll spend some more time with it this week and see how it works out.
Great video, I will try this later. Might try and use the router to cut some channels in the two outer "bars" for the inner bar to rest in (it will be flatter and less 3d than yours but I think maybe a little less prone to flex/wiggle, plus it will be fun to route a groove at a strange angle)
Thanks. That sounds pretty cool. Let me know how it comes out!
if you don't mind me asking how much did she pay for it?
I think $15.
@@TheNewbieWoodworker That's cheap, If you compare it to the mitre box per 20 USD. I paid 6 Euro's for a real wooden one. Plastic ones (including a saw)
are even cheaper. But they're a waste of money.
@@hansdegroot8549 The $15 was for the original snowflake, not the miter box. 🙂 I don't remember how much the miter box cost, since I've had it for, well, too long to even remember how I got it! It's possible someone gave it me as a Christmas gift. 🙄
Glad your back, watched all your presentations. Love them
Thanks! I'm glad I'm back too. 😄
I'm going to start making Christmas stuff in February, so I'll have time lol.
Sounds perfect! Either late, or really early. 😄
You could have cleaned out the glue dried up in the bot by running it through hot water to loosen it and pull out the gummy glue with needle nose pliers
Thanks! The biggest problem for me was what to do with all the glue already in the bottle. I read that you're not supposed to pour glue down the drain.
Maybe I'm easy to please because I liked the humour [humor].
Easy is good. 😄
Very nice thank you. Happy Holidays stay safe!
Thanks - you too! 😄
I thought the snowflake is great! I have both the Ryobi brad nailer and the pin nailer, love them! You won't be disappointed. I have also had similar problems with the gluebot and glue drying. I have found that you can add a small amount of water to reconstitute the glue and a small diameter dowel and pipe cleaners eventually clean out the bottle.
Thanks! And thanks for the tip. I may try using the disposable method for a while, and see how that works out - especially since I don't use that much glue (at least not yet).
Garry not Linda. Actually a little white vinegar mixes with the glue better and makes much shorter work of cleaning a glue brush. I never thought the Glue Bot was a good idea for the home shop it's more of a production tool. I agree with one of the other commenters. Unless you are doing large projects on a regular basis only keep small quantities of glue on hand. I can't tell you the number of times I've had glue skin over in a container less than half full causing a quick trip to the hardware store.
@@bassrun101 Thanks, Gary. I'm learning a lot!
Good vid. Thanks for sharing. God bless.
Thanks, and you're quite welcome! 😄
Great video Dan. Thank
Thanks, and you're welcome! 😄
Thanks Dan, I look forward to the plans.
Thanks! They won't be much more than what was on screen, in PDF format, but at least you can print them out.
Easy and fun.
Thanks! 😄
Had not seen this one, pretty good
Thanks, Scott!
Great joke about the coat
😂
😂
👍
Ha. Coats. I get it. :)

Nett... 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks! 😄
Are these 30 degree angles?
All the miters are 45 degrees. I didn't measure the 3 arms, I just angled them so they looked right. But mathematically, they're 60 degrees.
Thank you sir.

We have a new lockdown and no snow! So I've just decided to make my own snowflakes. With a little luck they won't be red.
Unfortunately, the link to the plans doesn't work. Something is missing. With try and error I came to the plans .
(it seems only /projects is missing somewhere in between.
I wish you a nice Christmas holidays and all the best for 2021
Thanks, Hans! And especially thanks for telling be about the link. It was missing the colon after "https". I've been working on improving the snowflake-making process, and one thing I'm doing is cutting part "B" as one single piece, instead of two pieces with miter cuts. So basically I cut a 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" square. Then I stand up the piece and clamp it to my miter gauge, raise my blade to 2", and make two cuts to leave the L-shaped piece. I'll post something about it later. The original way works too, so no worries if what I described doesn't make sense. 😄 All the best to you too!
Why would anyone in CA want or need more snow flakes? Oh you are talking about wood replica snow flakes that nature makes! nice project I might make a few for the grand children to hang on the tree maybe they will become a keepsake's of me. I know I will laser engrave on the back this Concept is from Dan The Newbie WoodWorker 2020.
Do you think I should make face Mask to put over the flakes? just asking!
LOL! I forced myself not to go there, but it was hard. Cool idea about the presents. 😄
@@TheNewbieWoodworker my wife has been collecting Christmas Bears with the year embroidery on their feet since 1995. This years bears I placed mask on their face! 🤣🛫
@@TheFalconJetDriver That is absolutely perfect! 😂
