1 Hour Beginner Woodworking Project THAT SELLS!!!

New follower here. I see some common themes in our lives- USPS,dumpster diving, Halloween and a cute curly haired kid. It stops at waking up at 430 am. Im newly retired so I hope to start many projects. Thanks for sharing.

[@awlthatwoodcrafts8911]

My first video of yours. New subscriber. I love the simplicity of this bench. I don't use a mask for sanding. I use a shop vacuum with a Dustopper and I use the Diablo Sandnet discs. Maybe not so neighbor-friendly at 5:00am (which I never do) but very little dust. You've got so much more dust in your shop that solving the sanding problem just scratches the surface. A gentle breeze will keep dust in the air just from what is lying around. If a mask is your only solution, I'd be wearing it every second I was in your shop, not just for sanding. Solve your dust collection issue and a mask becomes secondary. Now, I know that dust collection is way beyond a beginner's pay grade, but even a beginner should start somewhere. Cleaning up regularly is a good place to start. Always a good tip for a beginner.

[@DieTrying13]

Cleaning the shop is my biggest problem of all! Hahaha! I have a mini dust collection system but it’s hooked up in my barn to my drum sander. I need to grab a second one and do the shop for sure

[@alexplorer]

A couple recommendations for your shop: Miter saw station: It worries me how unsafe your setup is, both for you and the wood (i.e., You have Jedi reflexes at catching pieces as you cut them, but Jedi are infamous for losing limbs). I know you think you don't have room, but hear me out bc a miter saw station can be more than just a single-purpose tool. I built mine as a workbench where the middle section is an adjustable shelf. Nothing fancy about it. The shelf sits on some 1x4 pieces that are held onto the legs by 1/4" bolts that I tighten down with those big woodworking knobs,. There are holes in the legs every couple inches so I can move the 1x4 blocks and set the shelf as high/low as I like. The 1x4 pieces have furniture levelers on them (but pointed upward) to fine-tune the height of the shelf. The fact that the shelf has a large vertical range means I can drop other tools into it. The space is only 24" wide, but that will fit the router table, my bandsaw (which is smaller; I realize yours is free-standing), or a lot else (e.g., I built a nichrome wire setup for cutting styrofoam sheets, and it snaps into the table very nicely! Attach a clamp edge, and you can get precise dimensions to use as insulation). I also have a top for the middle section, so it just becomes a solid workbench when I don't have a tool in it. The whole thing is on casters and is the same height as the table saw, so it can be rolled around to serve as an outfeed table. Positioning squares: I finally invested in a set of these after a simple project I did free-hand came out crooked. Now I'm not sure how I lived without them! Once you have a tool, you find uses for it/them that you'd never think of. For example, my positioning squares are aluminum, and that's a better heat conductor than steel (i.e., 205 W/m K vs. 50.2 W/m K), so they stay in my kitchen when I'm not making, say, birdhouses or whatever calls for right angles. I use them to thaw the salmon I forgot to put in the first last night or to cool off the leftovers before they go in the fridge. Also, get the kids involved around the shop. Give them age-appropriate things to do, and they'll improve along the way because they'll come up knowing where things are, what the tools and materials are called, etc. A good starting point is just unscrewing hardware in reclaimed materials or starting screws before you follow up with power tools (e.g., have them start the pocket hole screws). I get mine involved with lots of "inbetween" tasks like sorting materials, putting tools away, and generally cleaning up the small stuff. Pretty soon they're recommending alternate ways to tackle a problem bc they saw something on KZbin you didn't have time to look up. (True story. Happens to me several times a week right now until summer vacation ends.)

[@DieTrying13]

I love the miter saw station idea. I used to have a stand for it but I sold it and I was planning on putting foldable wings on both sides of my cart I have now. Just haven’t gotten around to it. I’ll check out those squares! And the kids are in the shop working with me all the time. I love it so much. I agree, get them involved young. That’s what my dad did for me too. Thanks for the recommendations!

[@veea.4936]

You should make a video. I would just make a table for each tool, that way I don't have to pick them up all the time when I need to run a different machine. My back isn't that great now days. Especially if they just have a 24 inch foot print.

Nice simple build! I'd suggest drilling a hole at the apex of your v-cut on the legs. That'll prevent any potential splitting of the legs in the future, just in case.

[@DieTrying13]

This is really good advice. I’ve never thought of that but it makes a lot of sense. Thanks!!

[@stateofbasketball8650]

@asbrand So, you would drill a hole at the top of the apex on the side of the board or into the apex? If on the side would you go through all the way and fill with a dowel, plug, etc.?

[@asbrand]

@@stateofbasketball8650 - Drill a hole all the way through at the apex...where the two cuts of the V come together. This helps prevent the board splitting in the future. I suppose you could fill it with a dowel. I'd just leave the hole. Doesn't have to be a huge one.

The algorithm brought me here. Like your style and honesty more than anything… the non pretentious way you seem. My first video of yours but your shop reminds me of mine. When you gotta move stuff off the table saw so you can use the table saw, no fancy dust collection on the Kreg that keeps moving around while you try to drill the holes. I gotta say though…my ocd kicked in when I saw you without a mask. Anything is better than nothing. They got some at HF that don’t break the bank. Thank you for posting and keeping it real. Subbed.

[@DieTrying13]

Thanks dude! You get it. Just a dude with a hobby. As for the mask, I’ve gotten a bunch of recommendations for ones that won’t fog my glasses. Gonna buy a couple and try it out

[@JaCk-bj6hs]

I put a large floor fan behind the sanding pointed out the shop doors. While I'm sanding it seems like I'm in a mild wind tunnel. Don't know if it works, but I'm 83 and have been doing it this way for a long time. Not short of breath so is it working? Thanks for the video. Looking forward to seeing more.

[@DieTrying13]

That’s what my dad does too. I’m going to have to set something like that up! Thanks!

[@marthajean50]

I always use a P-100 mask, and have worn prescription glasses for decades. Here's the trick for any mask not fogging: Don't tuck the bottom of the glasses up BEHIND the upper edge of the mask, up where they'll be very close to your eyes. You want the glasses to drop down closer to the tip of your nose, RIDING OUT ON TOP of the face of that mask instead, not tucked behind the mask rim near your eyes and fog, so pull those glasses out a little bit toward the end of your nose, farther away from your eyes juuuust a tad bit and let them sit out forward some. No fogging. Great content as usual! 👍

[@DieTrying13]

Thanks!!! I’ll try that! 😊

[@DIYer7157happydiyer]

Just subscribed. Love the simplicity of the project. And not having a dust mask is the least of your problems. I often sand without a dust mask for the same reason (fogging up of glasses). I'd be much more worried about not having a riving knife in your table saw. Kickback can be a b****.

[@DieTrying13]

Definitely! I need to put it back on. I’ve had it off for years and I’ve had some kickback moments. Super scary. Also, thanks dude!!!

[@NoName-wu6ln]

For fog of safety glasses you can always put liquid hand soap on them dry wait for it to fog up then buff them dry works perfect did them with my eye glasses during covid times works like a charm

[@malcolmharing3744]

Burning the grain was popular in the 70s. Been there done that. I think distressed paint is more popular today. Not that the burned look isn't a seller. Have you tried various finishes on the benches to compare sales? Thanks for the video 😊

[@DieTrying13]

I have. Not much to report. They all seem pretty average. My 5 year old son saw me burning the first one and thought it was “really cool!!!!” and insisted I do more. Hahaha!

[@eugenelayhue1932]

I like the elipse respirator its small and won't fog up your glasses the exhalation valve is down low so you won't be fogging up your glasses plus consider dust collection. I have a small dust collector that I move from machine to machine along with a wet/dry vac. Rockler has a kit that's sometimes on sale with different fittings that will connect to most hand power tools don't let the children breathe in that stuff.

[@thomaschandler4831]

Home Depot has very good masks that have replacement filters and only cover the mouth and nose and never ever fog your glasses … bro I’m 60 … wear a mask … it’s extremely dangerous to breath wood dust …. If you’re worried about visual effects in your videos because you wear a mask … stop worrying… you get more respect from the real top G wood workers … who wants to be laughed at for something grown men should already know …. Let’s Go 😁

[@chadro_g1145]

There’s a mask I’ve found that I use for everything and it doesn’t fog up my glasses at all. That’s the Miller ML00895 “ half-mask “ made by Miller the welder company. It’s not crazy expensive, has replaceable filter elements, you can get different filtration value elements, besides having adjustable stretchy straps, they come in different sizes to fit your face better and more comfortably. I use it for woodwork, mowing the yard if the John Deere is kicking up a lot of dust, metal work and welding as it fits inside my Miller digital infinity welding hood, and when Covid first started I got the highest filtration value elements and wore it to work if I had to go out in the field for any on-site work, they were so impressed by it they bought a few hundred of them for the Doctors and Nurses( I do IT work for a medical group and was in and out of Dr’s offices ). It and the elements are fairly easy to find, but it’s so much smaller than the standard type. I can’t recommend it enough.

I recommend the RZ dust masks. I wear glasses, and they don't fog up with the RZ masks, not even here in humid Texas. As for the benches, I liked them but think that they would look better and sell better if you didn't char them so much. Also, if they start to sit in your barn, drop the price and have them move on. As the saying goes, a bird in the hand gathers no moss.

[@DieTrying13]

Thanks dude! I was going to do three different finishes but my son insisted that I burn them all! Hahaha! And I’ll definitely lower the prices as the weeks go by. I have a craft fair next month and if they don’t go, time to drop the price. Get rid of them quick! Haha!

[@soujrnr]

Note to self: Don't build this out of raw pine. That sap makes for quite a fire when trying to burn the wood. The fire department wasn't impressed with my bench, and all that water ruined it and flooded my garage. Seriously though, I love the idea!

[@DieTrying13]

The camera is deceiving. I’ve also stuck my finger into the blade before. Almost lost down to the first knuckle but I just missed the bone.

Good luck weeding out the tire kickers out there

[@DieTrying13]

Yeah, it’s the worst. Thankfully, most of the time, someone I know ends up buying the things I make

🔥🔥NO MORE FOGGED UP GLASSES….. >Vaseline< after a good cleaning with lens cleaner, make sure to let the lenses dry 100% and then take a small dab of Vaseline, rub it in covering the surface untill clear and POOF! no more fogging issue $ave your money$

[@DieTrying13]

That’s a great tip! Thanks!

[@BrianLawrence-vk3pu]

They have chainsaw safety glasses made of screen, not sure the name but they work and do not fog.

[@lolwtnick4362]

Lol chump change. I can shred a board into toothpicks, sell at restaurants. Especially steakhouses. 1K easy money

[@DieTrying13]

Hahahahaha!

Cherry red coloring does not cost extra.

Facebook marketplace isn't the place to sell woodworking projects. Don't waste your time people.

[@DieTrying13]

Or you can try it and see how it goes. I do great on there with some projects. I also have gotten a bunch of custom jobs from posting on there

[@micheleromaine7782]

Yeah, you’re right about that. I used to do OK selling my projects on there but not anymore. Do you have any suggestions on which platform is the best?

[@DieTrying13]

I actually do better posting on my own Facebook page. When I post something for sale on marketplace, I also post on my own and 90% of the time the sale comes from my own. Would love to know some other spots

What kind of paste wax do you use? Or were you one of the lucky guys that had a case sitting around before J&J caved to government pressure?

[@DieTrying13]

I’m actually just using minwax but I think the fact that I had just burned the benches and they were still warm really helped it absorb into the wood.

Where is the 10° magic angle?

Thanks Pray to Jesus for guidance

RX mask has a vent and works great with glasses

[@DieTrying13]

Thanks!

[@MaryMaguire01]

You need to get any mask to protect your lungs in 10-20 years you will thank yourself. Another suggestion is put a thick towel over the end of wood that is close to your windshield. It will help protect your windsheild if you have to stop short.

[@DieTrying13]

Thanks!

[@eldonbeyea393]

WIPE YOUR GLASSES WITH SHAVING CREAM OR FOAM, helps with fogging

[@DieTrying13]

Is this a prank? Hahaha! Kidding. I’ll give it a try! Thanks!

[@davehaselkamp6661]

For dust get a turbo fan that continues to blow the dust away if you can't get a mask you like

[@DieTrying13]

Good plan!

You should a made at least a million
