You are a never ending resource for helping to dispose of my retirement checks! 😅 Great list and ideas.

[@bentswoodworking]

Happy to help! 🤣

[@johnford7624]

After watching the video advert i was still skeptical. But when i finally downloaded the plans kzbin.infoUgkxZF0EMnrujZvqHhGkxiz559uIABJWR9TG i was very impressed. The whole plan was just as you said in the video. Thank you very much. I now have a large and valuable collection for my woodworks. This is great!

[@SpencleyDesignCo]

excellent video mr bourne! a lot of people dont know this, but drew witt actually gets his wife to tie his shoes every day

[@RWingoS7]

Omg poor Drew 😂😂😂😂😂

[@bentswoodworking]

Oh I assumed that much

[@wittworks]

Luv you too kittens xx

[@zephyr1408]

Makita track saws I hv both corded and non corded track are interchangeable w/green ones and hv “ALL” the same features! I am a production Trim Carpenter so I pound my tools into the ground! I found once out of the shop the Festool just seems to break 1st! Miter saw? Makita or Dewalt DW780 those are dead nuts accurate out of the box and last! I build a ton of cabinets like built ins , sink boxes, extensions , ect.,. I do believe TSO has great track squares I just really don’t fool with them! To each his own I know you build a lot of cabinets also however once you’re moving from job to job ; loading and unloading it gets to where your tools hv to withstand day to day banging around! I also heard the motors on the miter saws (Festool) burn out quicker than any of the top brands? Ask Spencer Lewis ; Inside Carpentry? Just my opinion?

[@wittworks]

I’m all for dummy proof. ❤

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

You covered a lot of tools in a short amount of time. Great suggestions. There are some that I have and I totally agree with you on. Especially the TSO products. Thank you for the recommendation. I am loving mine.

[@bentswoodworking]

Angie, check your IG messages. I sent you one this morning actually. 👍👍

[@ericmaxton4295]

What a great video!!! No rambling introduction/soliloquy, just right to the tools. I really wish more content creators made videos like this one.

[@bentswoodworking]

I was trying something new

[@Tiger2000Lion2005]

I have most of these and you've really helped guide me to these excellent irreplaceable tools. Thank you

[@bentswoodworking]

Glad you like them!

[@83neffline]

Have had my grabo for a year now, and now I just bought a 2nd one, now 2 people can grab a cabinets box without reaching down!

[@bobs4718]

Great video, I compliment you on your tips and tricks. Funny that most of the tool options start with “now this is fairly expensive” but understandable since they perform great.

[@cemontalvo12]

Your narrations and delivery have gotten better and better over the years. Thanks for the informative video

[@Dan-jq8se]

Wow, you covered a lot of tools and jigs in a very concise and comfortable flow. Thank you

[@bentswoodworking]

Glad it was helpful!

[@AnthonyScolaro1]

I have to agree with you on the conturo becoming one of my favorite tools also. Paired with the MFK 700 router, it has saved me countless hours of time edge banding with perfect results effortlessly. Great video Jason.

[@bentswoodworking]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@DudeSirMark]

That was a VERY helpful video - thanks for taking the time to put that together

[@bentswoodworking]

Glad it was helpful!

[@baileythompson3680]

Nice commercial!!!! Seriously I love your content. Keep up the great work!

[@bentswoodworking]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@dsdragoon]

Thank you for this information. I have many of those tools and I like them very much.

[@bentswoodworking]

Glad you like them!

[@craighhg]

Great video as always. These are very useful tool and definitely make working more efficient and enjoyable.

[@bentswoodworking]

Glad you like them!

[@JayOfSomeTrades]

Great list. Been on the fence about the LR32 and you might have me convinced!

[@bentswoodworking]

It’s a great system!

[@jayg6857]

...unless your name is Drew Witt 🤣🤣🤣

[@bentswoodworking]

😂

[@rla1000]

I have to wonder how that Grabo works with any porous sheet goods, especially lower grades of plywood. Given that the surface of the sheet is not airtight, I would expect air to compromise the vacuum eventually. I'd guess that the suction can even cause delamination. Not to mention it costs a ridiculous $200 vs. $15 for a simple sheet lifter.

[@espressomatic]

The Grabo is great for dozens of different uses. A panel lifter not so much.

[@ademkollari8992]

Great list, excellent tips. Thank you!

[@bentswoodworking]

You are so welcome!

[@jonathanstinnett1579]

Awesome video! love that sheetrock suction item.

[@bentswoodworking]

Me too!

[@phillipsanders576]

Excellent video.. thank you 🇨🇦

[@edt9666]

Great list!

[@bentswoodworking]

Thanks!

[@espressomatic]

Nice suggestions, especially for the home shop. A number of these can be skipped if you do higher volumes of cabinets and invest in a CNC to cut carcasses and fronts. This is sort of a must if you're doing a few kitchens every week (and can easily handle 5+ kitchens per day)

[@bentswoodworking]

Yeah a CNC would be the first thing I invested in if I was doing kitchens

[@RicardoCristofRemmertFontes]

The Famag forstner bits are the best, indeed.

[@TheArtificiallyIntelligent]

I recommend a 5x12 CNC router with vacuum table, tool changer, and dust collection.

[@garyolsen3409]

Hey you guys when you get your new track saws and get rid of your old table saw, let me know . I am always in the market for used tools. 50 yrs of woodworking, never used a track saw and never needed one.

[@jonathanblackburn3449]

Great video. Do you suggest the Original, Max, or Pro version of the True Position hardware jig? Thanks!

[@stefboulas]

excellent video!

[@bentswoodworking]

Glad you liked it!

[@paulmurray3837]

Do you have recommendations for the safety ppe equipment that you use?

[@farmcat3198]

I personally recommend Mafell for tracksaws.

[@dereklong801]

This is a great list. Agree with almost all of these, even for hobbyists. The Conturo, of course, is the big whopper, but if you are a pro doing a lot of cabinet work it is no doubt worth the cost, especially if you can take the depreciation.

[@bentswoodworking]

My favorite tool to use by far.

[@WORDversesWORLD]

Wow!! Think of all that money I saved by using my hands!

[@darvaish4552]

I saw a SHAPER carton behind you ☺,. Any videos soon Sir??? Fan from Cambridge. Uk

[@bentswoodworking]

I will in the future as I begin to use it.

[@georgeyetka7689]

What length staples are you using in that grex?

[@tonibillante3478]

Wow! Great list of tools, but Drew Witt catching strays? You may be escalating something there Jason.

[@bentswoodworking]

He’s one of my closest friends.

[@markisom78]

The only thing I wished that Festool would make is an adapter plate for the Festool 2200 router so I could use the LR 32 track. I bought this machine because the 1400 router was not available and there was no answer as to when they would be available to buy. I hate having to think that I now have to invest in another Festool router namely the 1010 that will only really be used for that job.

[@bentswoodworking]

There are many retailers that have the 1400 in stock currently. US Tool and Fastener does for sure.

[@farmcat3198]

Welcome to Festool.

[@77pixels64]

Great stuff as always! As a video pro (and a woodworking hobbyist) I’ll politely offer that your videos seem to be consistently underexposed. I’d add about +1 stop of exposure compensation to brighten things up!

[@edt9666]

What size TSO parallel guides do you suggest, 20", 30" or the 30-50" combo?

[@AaronGeller]

I have all 3 and for narrow tips, the 20” is the least awkward. I think 20” is a good all around one as you can fit it into a systainer and they’re quite small - 12” approximately. I think unless you’re going over 30” often, you won’t need the 50”. You could say with the 20” and 50”, a 30 might be redundant. Or do what I did and get all 3

[@bentswoodworking]

I use the 20-30 the most. I have never used my 50

[@turkturkleton4278]

I just added up the prices for all of these items and the total cost is $9,907.55 USD. 👀

[@dngriffiths8105]

Jason has very good taste!

[@farmcat3198]

It really makes you wonder how all this stuff is afforded. Did you notice the Shaper Origin in the box in the background? Another chunk of dough. Festool probably gives him the tools or finances at a very reasonable rate as a sponsor. Throw in a small business loan with payments amortized over 10 years, supplemented by an Army retirement income and any additional income from online sources and business income. Maybe that's how it's done?

[@kennethchurch9393]

Which Grabo did you get, The standard or the Pro ?

[@bentswoodworking]

The cheaper one. I believe it’s the standard. Doesn’t have the digital readout

[@sekritskworl-sekrit_studios]

How do you use the LR32 for drawer slides?

[@bentswoodworking]

By plunging the holes where the screws need to be

[@sekritskworl-sekrit_studios]

@@bentswoodworking Ahhhh... I definitely over-thought that one, Drill Sergeant. LOL Operator Head-space & Timing indeed.

[@MattFormoso]

if you only build 32mm cab construction why do u need hinge plate jig

[@timc7787]

Awesome, review. Tons of haters on here. Anyways, what is the countersink drill bit that you were using in the box build episode. Thx!!!!

[@jeffreysmith5018]

Good stuff 😀

[@bentswoodworking]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@pctatc66]

do you ever regret only having one Grabo?

[@bentswoodworking]

Sometimes yes just cause I think two would be amazing

[@pctatc66]

@@bentswoodworking im just trying to justify my dual set purchase i made the other day. Though in my case, ill be hanging 5/8" drywall on the new shop walls and ceilings!

[@bentswoodworking]

@@pctatc66 I’m sure it will be totally worth it.

[@nicolasgoosen5142]

If you have a $1million to spend on your workshop, no prob!

[@gwarlow]

0:39 Wow. Only $200 to pick up a sheet of plywood? Sure takes the pressure off of asking a friend or neighbor for help. ;-)

[@w9jim]

While I enjoy your videos, I, as a retired and now hobbyist carpenter / woodworker, simply can't relate to all these high end tools!

[@tsaltyginger]

Must be nice to be rich with youtube money. Even major cabinet shops don't have some of the tools or luxuries of these items. I feel like this video had some great items but then some very expensive priced tools.

[@farmcat3198]

The guy probably isn't rich. He's been an Army grunt for 20 years, so he knows how to get along with 'superiors' (sponsors) that can help him, and he can follow 'orders' (suggestions) from them. Since he's relatively young, he has an Army retirement income for many years (a base income level) and then he could get a small business loan at a (formerly) low interest rate to finance tools while he builds his in person and online businesses. His Army retirement is in perpetuity, so he doesn't have to worry about that running out like the rest of us with 401k's and the banks have something to draw on as collateral.

[@rodv7779]

Too bad we all weren't KZbinrs who get sponsors to pay for their expensive tools. Unfortunately, most woodworkers need help to afford Jason Bent's tools. Seemed to be an infomercial to cover all sponsorships in one video? Sorry, this tool list seems unrealistic for most ...

[@trevorhawkins1037]

Must be nice having Festool sponsor you then you promote them 😒 🙄
