    I bought this as a gift for my friend ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxcZqgZ8Ynkiz5n_LxIWRlAicuzmz5kCHG who is just starting out in the world of wood work. He loves it!! There is a great section on different wood and what to use for what kind of job and a similar section for tools as well. The projects in it are things you probably would have a go at with clear instructions, pictures, videos and diagrams throughout. Great for a beginner/amateur wood worker.

    Okay, I have a request - could you go around your wall and show: A) All of your tools, B) Tell us what they are called C) What the tools can do.
    It would be awesome if there was a full video just about tools.
    This would really help me out as English isn’t my first language, so basically while I can speak it freely, I do not know specialised language about woodworking yet - like what tools are made, or what they are intended to do, what kind of motions they have, what they can possibly do or be used for, if one tool can do other things other than say “this is a drill and it drills holes” lol
    It would be awesome if you could go with all the tools in one video and brief description, and then maybe do a series of videos or shorts on what the tools can do in more depth? I’m pretty sure a good description of a tool’s capabilities can be fitter into a 30-60 seconds short. I’d love it. I’d really appreciate it. Have a think about it.
    Before anyone goes - “why don’t you just google it?’, it’s often the problem - because I don’t know what to google. Like in my head - there’s an abundance of ideas, but there can be more or better and bigger ideas if my brand would know all of the capabilities of tools or what other people use a certain tool for even if it wasn’t made for that purpose. And as the saying goes - you don’t know what you don’t know, so it’s hard to google what you don’t know, when I try to google so,etching that I don’t know if it exists or what it’s called and I try to describe it to google, often in different languages - I usually 90% of the time end up sifting through pages of bs. And still don’t find what I was looking for. Most often I find what I was looking for from watching other people woodworking/ engineering videos 😅😂
