[@ChrisWhitley-tx1oz]

You can use a torch to burn wood. And there’s always a wood burning kit. You can get a lot of patterns and different types of letters and symbols.

[@scottsawsonskates2142]

Great suggestions!

I was in Lowes the other day and seen some awesome knotty pine.

[@benz306]

Great ideas! What is the tool you used to square off the picture frame corners after routing? Thanks

[@scottsawsonskates2142]

Thank you for the compliments! I used a corner chisel to square those curves. Here's my affiliate link if you want to check it out: amzn.to/3XWADST

Thanks for the subscribe. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@mariaphilomena1422]

Do you have to use special screws when you make pocket holes?

[@scottsawsonskates2142]

Yes, pocket hole screws are recommended for pocket hole joints. Regular wood screws won't work as well because they have a fully threaded shank, which can cause the pocket hole to crack. Pocket hole screws have a smooth shank allowing them to pass through the pocket hole and then bite into the second workpiece. Pocket hole screws also have a flat washer head that sits flush against the pocket hole's flat bottom, whereas wood screws have a tapered head that acts like a wedge which can cause the wood to split.

[@peterminzenmay5005]

Sorry the links were mine, all is good now. Thanks

[@MrKaebee]

i ordered the bundle of 11 scrap wood gifts, it's not going through please look into this ASAP

[@scottsawsonskates2142]

Hi Ken - I just responded to your email and now I'm responding here. The plans were sent to the email address you entered on the payment screen. Have you checked your spam/junk if it's not in your inbox?

[@davidmanieri7695]

Where are the plans for the birdhouse?

[@scottsawsonskates2142]

Here's the link to the log cabin birdhouse plans on my site: sawsonskates.com/diy-log-cabin-birdhouse/

[@garytanner3156]

The links to your website are all bad, they do not allow anything. Please fix so I can see some of these plans.

[@scottsawsonskates2142]

I apologize for that. I just tested them, and they are working for me. Have you tried using a different browser?

[@alfreimont1830]

Be honest. Say the plans are available for purchase not just available.

[@scottsawsonskates2142]

You're right. The plans are available to purchase if you want them; otherwise, you can use the ideas in the video to inspire your own projects.

[@jscook54]

I purchased but cannot download some of them.

[@scottsawsonskates2142]

I apologize for that. I checked the system, and it appears the receipt (with the links for all the plans) was delivered but not opened. Have you checked your email and clicked "view content" for each plan? If not, please give that a try. Also, responding to that email is the best way to reach me so we can figure this out. Please let me know if you didn't receive the email, and I'll resend it.

[@jscook54]

@@scottsawsonskates2142 The full message had not come in when I first looked at email for some reason--internet glitch or whatever. I have all the plans now and as I looked through them I think they are well done and clear on how to build these projects. Thank you.

[@controversialhunter8032]

​@scottsawsonskates2142 , Agreed. I just snapped picture off the TV , haven't been at this long. but I know I can figure out exactly how to build them in my own way . they are some pretty good ideas here & I'm sure I will not use them all . but gives me ideas on how or what to make friends and family.

[@howieone62]

I had a like a 1 foot to 18" wooden ruler that had the oven rack hook on it I forget what ads were on it but it was very handy until it disappeared

[@scottsawsonskates2142]

A ruler/oven rack hook is the ultimate multi-tasker!

[@robira1313]

Now I regret selling my scroll saw.

[@scottsawsonskates2142]

Time to pick up another one. I often see them on marketplace. I got a good deal on mine at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore.

[@johnduffy6546]

"Scrap wood?" Is that a mythical thing that resides where unicorns live?...In this day and age of political correctness (ad nauseam) I prefer to call it, "wood of yet unknown purpose)...just kidding. Great video! I am an avid recycler of left-over wood...

[@scottsawsonskates2142]

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

[@pamelarush2086]

I love your definition of scrap wood. I have always called it kindling. Your description is much better. Great channel! Subbed!

[@papawlambo6356]

I love your ideas & I’m sure using scraps is a great money saving idea BUT one can’t help but notice the $10,000 worth of tools you’re using to make $20 gifts. 😮

[@waltercatiller2826]

I appreciate the ideas,my tools are mostly 50-100 years old,,in their day were probably $$

[@CredibleHulk10]

Stop

[@controversialhunter8032]

I call bs. I have a simple set of power tools I've been buying on line. Bought a jig saw for $10 Facebook market place 5 blocks from my house. few days later saw a Table saw for $25 Lady got it in her divorce and had it listed as table top saw. damn thing was almost new. I payed her $50 & told her it was worth more but it's all I had at the time. Used it to make her my first Noodle board out of pallet wood she loved it. Then I bought a Cross cut plastic set new at harbor freight for like $12 on sale. went on to buy a Router on Facebook marketplace. for $15 & bought the new switch parts on Amazon for $5 . things been running like a champ for 3 yrs now. & after taking used wire spools & turning them into simple wishing-wells with pallet wood. was able to buy a brand new , miter saw. & just last week on Facebook market place someone had listed a table top band saw. the smallest 9 inch one harbor freight sales for $139.99 dollars for only $30 . unfortunately I was the 2nd person to reply. video showed it running & demo of it cutting wood. told him to call me & sent him Pictures of larger ones for $20 more on market place if the 1st person was looking for something a little bigger w/ more power . at 6:30 pm He called & I went & got it. the other guy paid $50 to buy a bigger one on market place . oh my sander I started out with one of those little black & decker mouse sanders . not sure what I bought it for . but I've had it for years. & when I started making those wishing-wells . I asked my Father-in-Law if he had one I could barrow. he had a 3 x18 black n decker belt sander . I used that for about a mo. & Then bought a brand new wen one when I saved up enough from selling small projects made strictly from Heat treated Pallets. & today I'm going to pick up a planer from market place about 17 miles away for $100. my shed shop is to small for dust collection system. so I wear a spray painters respiratory mask. the kind with they cotton and whatever else in the little canisters on each side again harbor freight $9 . Not much room for tools left but bought a couple hand planers probably antiques. & I'm keeping my eye out for a good used planer now. & that's probably a tool or 2 to many for my little 10X 12 shop I made buying used tin and filling the holes with Flex seal . & Every big pallet I could find Free. I might have $300 or $400 Worth of tools but started out with just that first table saw & jig saw . to make things to sale. & those little things always got me to my next used or new tool. So don't use excuses if you have the will there is a way.

[@ChrisWhitley-tx1oz]

He didn’t say he wasn’t a successful woodworker. When you sell something you buy something. Then you have people that whine about everything instead of actually getting off their buttocks and doing the work. I started in my dad’s garage. Now in my garage there’s in the neighborhood of ten grand in stuff. And I’m back at the beginning after injuries and moving.

[@richardmccann4815]

That's not $10,000. But even if it is, the tools he uses to make these projects can be assembled for under $200.
