If you like this style of video please let me know. If you want to see any other styles also, please let me know. Thank you again for all the support.

[@dunderbrau6886]

No, thank you for the video's.

[@michaelwillson6847]

Great video always nice have updates on things you've purchased. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@1969presley]

Would really like more power and hand tool reviews. Plus any content on more diy jigs that saves money

[@gregbaily7971]

Happy Christma and thanks for your vids.

[@jeffhiatt1682]

The looking back where you can assess how well a tool really worked out for you in the long run is very useful. and make a good watch.

[@billbris]

For what it is worth, I find you relatable and positive. I've been at this for about four years now and have loads to learn. Mistakes happen. I am slowly learning not to be hard on myself. I've also learned that almost all of the mistakes made were only ever noticed by me. The recipient never sees the issues and they absolutely love the results. You bring that idea to life. Work around your issues. Please continue in this vein. Well done.

[@startmaking1]

It is worth everything. Thank you. I have made a sort clip for a podcast that Lee and Jared from New Cranky Workshop do and it is for new years resolutions and after trying to be funny, my real one is to be kinder to myself and that is not easy for me. But it is important. You are right, we are all learning and mistakes are part of that. Thank you.

[@YesiPleb]

​@@startmaking1 I came to leave a comment and @billbris summed it all up completely. I subscribe to a few channels and a couple started funny and went serious. The ones that are trying to be funny are quite monotonous now and although make extremely interesting and informative videos, the humour stopped being funny a long time ago because it's all the same humour and no longer funny. The way you explain things and then explain your mistakes and how you got around it is great. One of the big reasons I'm still here.

[@startmaking1]

Thank you. I very much appreciate the comment and the support.

[@alistairstanger2940]

If you’ve managed to break even whilst building that workshop then that’s a win in my book! Well done and thanks for your content. Your channel is probably my favourite find this year.

[@startmaking1]

I do feel very fortunate over all to be honest. Especially as the cost of the workshop started to go over budget and I didn't have to stress about it too much.

[@kimhavey7850]

Liked this video after the comment about getting an extra housing for the router to leave in the table! Great tip!!!

[@startmaking1]

It makes such a difference. I was getting annoyed constantly unscrewing the base.

[@Greyotterstudio]

Mark - we’re all students and woodworking is definitely a never ending journey of learning. Admitting when you’re wrong and sharing it with others will benefit all of us in the long run! Thank you for this honest review. Also, totally agree with you about tenon saws for straight cuts! I tend to use them to start rips then switch to my Japanese saw once I’ve established the Kerf.

[@startmaking1]

Well said Alex and thank you. I do my cost exactly the same way as you. Especially for longer rip cuts.

[@michaelcsweeney8435]

You broke even? That is AWESOME, because you didn't break even, you WON! The tools you have, so, well, you HAVE, no need to buy them again! I watch a number of woodworking vids, and some even show nifty jigs to use for stuff, but the rub is that some of them use all this high-end gear to make the jig. This is one of the reasons I like your vids. You keep most stuff low-end and give options. For us cats on a budget, it's encouraging. Even your mistakes are good because you can bet that if you didn't make them and show us then a large percentage of us would do the same thing. Good stuff, keep throwing them out there 'cause I have a lot to learn! 😁

[@startmaking1]

Thank you Michael. I have not looked at it like that. You are right. Thank you for taking the time to comment.

[@shaunbailey1033]

I like this style of video, I think as long as you are honest with people and keep telling them how it REALLY is then you will continue to gather subscribers. I really like you videos because you don’t pretend to know the answers and admit your mistakes. I’m going to continue watching !

[@startmaking1]

Thank you Shaun. You are very kind. I dont think I know even a small percentage of the answers lol, Makes for a fun build.

[@fredbush3404]

Mark, I found you a few months ago. I really enjoy your content. I got into woodworking in 2017ish. I hadn’t touched a tool until earlier this year (2024) it is like starting all over, I was so glad to find this channel. I am excited to start over. Well, after my rehab from Cervical surgery. Keep it up you have inspired me.

[@startmaking1]

Wow Fred. Thank you. Wishing you a speedy recovery bud.

[@ericvanhouten7032]

What appeals to me in your videos is your honesty. Errors are not hidden but explicitly shown. This way the followers can avoid these.

[@startmaking1]

Thats everything I aim for. Thank you. Very much appreciated.

[@stephenking1218]

Your videos are a lot of fun to watch. You're exceptionally humble and your method of explaining things works well, especially when you show what you did wrong. I'm glad to be part of the community.

[@startmaking1]

Hey Stephen. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. Glad to have you aboard.

[@anthonygriffin3147]

Sick as a parot at the mo this vid is belting I find it hard to get in the shed sometime with the tik tok in my head watching your vids helps me so much you are doing a belting job I'm proud of you rkid for being so determined give your self a pat on the back love watching your vids belting 👍👍 o ye merry Christmas 😊

[@startmaking1]

Oh no, I hope you get better before the festivities begin bud. I know exactly what you mean about struggling to get in the shed, or at least I think I do. I draw inspiration from people like you sharing on Instagram. The community works in full circles. Have a great Christmas or belting as you would say. Take it easy.

[@jbridge7962]

No woodworking channel is perfect, but you have been a very positive influence on my woodworking projects this year. Thanks. I forget you are across the pond, and think "who posts videos at 4am?"

[@startmaking1]

lol , not the best upload time overall. I may look to make it 14 hours earlier. I guess it will be 4am somewhere in the world though no matter what. But thank you for the kind words.

[@doczoff5655]

Thank you for inspiring us to get past our uncertainty and self doubt and just 'Start making' 😊

[@startmaking1]

Not only an amazing and interesting comment but also generosity far beyond what is expected. Thank you very much.

[@daniel__clark]

You've got a great presenting style, very natural; it feels like we're having a conversation. It's good to see your subscriber numbers going up, but it's better to see that you enjoy doing this. Thanks for the content.

[@startmaking1]

Wow, thank you Daniel. And you are so right. Sub numbers are more important when growing in the very early stages. The enjoyment is by far the best yard stick, both my enjoyment and everyone around the channel who watches here and there.

[@franklinkarrass5830]

There is always something to learn from your videos. They are somewhat entertaining as well. 👍

[@startmaking1]

I will take that. Thank you so much.

[@jimadams6159]

What I love about your channel is your honesty. I have learnt such a lot from watching your videos. Thank you for helping me believe I can make things. All the best for the season. Keep the excellent videos coming.

[@startmaking1]

Thank you again Jim. All the best for the season to you and yours. Thank you for the unwavering support on every video. Even the laser ones lol.

[@castlevaniaking5]

Breaking even after a year is no small feat especially with that workshop build. The videos are great and I love how relatable you are in them. Don't worry about the table saw purchase, in all of the woodworkers I watch it seems to be an absolutely necessary item in a wood shop and almost all of them tell you their shop revolves around a table saw. Keep it up and I excitedly await the next one :)

[@startmaking1]

Thank you so much. I was a little surprised myself . You are right about the table saw. It is one to be hugely respected as it is now the most dangerous tool in my workshop (apart from me). But it will open up builds I just could not do with decent results before.

[@TorpisoulYT]

Breaking even sounds like a win to me! Congratulations.

[@startmaking1]

It was both a win and a huge surprise if I am honest.

[@solarmus923]

Thanks for this, it's this kind of thing that makes your channel feel relatable which helps give the feeling that we can get our handy on and build something. Have good holiday and here's look forward to next years videos.

[@startmaking1]

Have a great holiday period yourself and thank you

[@jerrybyrd7778]

I have been subscribed to your videos for several months and I have seen several of original videos you mentioned. Your style of presentation and content is interesting to me. I am looking forward to seeing what you do next year. Happy holidays.

[@startmaking1]

Hi Jerry. Thank you for your support. And for your kind words. Very much appreciated.

[@sandman2651]

Great to see you revisit past vids and re-comment on them, woodwork is all about learning from our mistakes no one is perfect as with all hobbies they are a learning curve. I have ms so have to try different ways of doing things some because of movement issues with hands and some due to other issues but if your wrong your wrong this is how we learn, loving the vids, merry xmas to you and your family and wish you more success in the new year, Mike

[@startmaking1]

Thank you Mike. You are spot on. Merry Christmas to you and yours. And well done for such a positive, can do attitude, very inspirational.

[@RogerVanParys]

Excellent website! You show a creativeness not seen on other channels. I especially liked the folding chisel holder... Like you, I have a small shop and am a beginner at age 85... It is never too late to learn...Happy Holidays and keep the videos coming!

[@startmaking1]

What a great comment. Lovely to hear such a positive approach. Between you and me, the chisel holder is one of my all time favourites. It's a little messy but super fun. And thank you. Happy holidays and take care.

[@Damon_Barber]

Perfect timing for this kind of video! End of the year we should all be evaluating where we wanted to be at the beginning of the year and see if we met our goals.

[@startmaking1]

That is very true and in a strange way it was not in my plans when I started thinking about this video. But it feels like a good wrap up. Cant wait to get stuck into 2024. Have a lovely Christmas and New year bud.

[@Damon_Barber]

@@startmaking1 Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year as well!

[@a9ball1]

I subscribe to way too many channels however, I like yours because you are willing to show the mistakes and goofs. This makes you a real person who is doing a channel not a company just out for the money. Thanks for that!

[@startmaking1]

Thank you. Very much appreciated. Definitely making mistakes here lol. Thats part of the fun.

[@Fox_Montana]

I just started watching you today first video was the part one tools you regret not buying the better option early the one with the self centering bit. And i liked it and subscribed because i felt you are genuine and passionate. And that meant a lot to me. I appreciate your generosity of sharing and wish you all the best and i hope you will get millions of subscribers. Keep up the good work man! Thank you

[@startmaking1]

What a lovely comment. thank you so much.

[@jjavierre]

Congratulations mate! Not only because this year has been a grinding success for you, but also because it was all worth it. Your candor is something of a rare quality. Really happy for you. Happy Christmas and New Year. Take care and make things that you can show us. Best of luck

[@startmaking1]

Wow. Such a lovely comment. I genuinely shouldn't be surprised to receive so much positivity from the community but it still blows me away. Have a lovely festive period and I look forward to what comes next. Take care yourself and thank you again.

[@michaelkelley6905]

Kudos to a great year! I watch way too many woodworker videos, but I’m also a maker. I a constantly stretching my skills and trying to do things way above my skill level. They have been super satisfying and personally rewarding. It’s wonderful to learn from your own and from others mistakes. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to seeing what you build this year.

[@startmaking1]

Thank you Michael. Much appreciated.

[@BustedKnuckleWoodworks]

Been such a good year for you! It’s been a huge pleasure watching your journey. Even bigger and better things in 2024! 🚀

[@startmaking1]

Back at you Lee. It's been a strange year but I tell you one thing. I decided in the summer what kind of woodworking KZbin I wanted to be and that was in a large part from our interactions and the amazing response it has all had. So thank you and I genuinely can't wait to see what you have planned for 2024 too.

[@Deathst4lker]

Well, I watched you recommend the tools yesterday - and I've watched this one today - so I've seen you review everything (including some of the things I bought after watching yesterday 🤣) Great channel mate, new sub! I'm right at the beginning of my workworking journey and have been watching Dainer Makes and Jesper Makes before finding you. Between the three of you - I'm very excited to fill my brew breaks with excellent content! Looking forward to having a mooch about on your channel - please keep the vids coming, Mark - they're really helpful! 👊

[@justonbohannan]

I wish you happiness and health as well! Thanks for all of the great videos and for the care you show for your viewers!

[@startmaking1]

thank you so much . I wish the same for you and yours.

[@pianokid103]

Love this style of video. You did a good job pointing out "why" not just "what" the mistakes were, and I appreciated that a video like this isn't 75% recycled or repeated footage, haha. Just found this channel recently after discovering the "lesser-known woodworking channels to watch" video, which was also really well done. Very glad you are breaking even so you can continue gaining traction and growing the channel. Based on the quality I've seen so far, you should be well on your way!

[@startmaking1]

Thank you. I am sorely tempted to try a recycled footage video like so many others are but I need to find a way to make it have added value. Not just tag them together and release. Appreciate you kind words. thank you

[@billffromnh]

I wouldn't consider you were wrong just because you changed your mind on a few things. It indicates to me that you are continuing to learn new ways of doing the craft as well as about new tools & products. Nobody on earth ever knows the perfect way to do everything. All sorts of advancements in woodworking are aways being made & they won't stop. I think your idea of a jig tray cabinet is a great idea. I did not go out & buy any tools as a result of watching your videos, but I did learn of a few tools I had not known of before. I have had a Shinto rasp for 25 years & it's as useful as you say. I look forward to viewing your new videos in 2024.

[@startmaking1]

Hi Bill. Firstly before I read the comment. thank you for a year of support. I appreciate it and enjoy reading every comment. As for this one, thank you again, learning is something I dont think I will ever stop doing in both the making side and the video side of this space. And that is the fun. The more I think about it the more I think I will make the jig tray in one form or another. Now the cleat wall has taken the majority of my wall space I need to work out the next storage option. As for the tools, this video making thing is a wierd process for me as you need to tip toe along a thin line between maximising the worth of the video and all the effort it takes to make and not evolving into a sales platform and nothing else. I look at a few of the things I have committed to (laser) and they have definitely taken me to a place I dont want the channel to live in but I have managed to steer it back. It is an interesting balance. So many people watching have the tools and know way more than me about their uses and others besides. That is where, when the comments on the shinto rasp were so positive, from the experienced watchers like yourself, I knew I have helped beginners with the right advice and I was very please. So thank you again.

[@JulietVorster]

To break even in the first year of any business is epic. Well done. 👍🏼

[@startmaking1]

That's really kind, thank you

[@AlanRobilliard-b5t]

I love your videos ,you have a clear and unique way of teaching and should be proud of yourself keep up the good work

[@startmaking1]

That is really kind. Thank you. Good timing too. This month I will do last years I was wrong video. Plenty of mistakes made again.

[@robthewaywardwoodworker9956]

Break even is excellent, especially for one year. Well done, mate!

[@startmaking1]

Thank you very much. Appreciated.

[@bungfupanda8936]

Positivity and communication are key to the watchability of your videos mate, honest follow ups such as this are the cherry on top, other channels might brush their mistakes or misdiretions under the carpet, or simply just not revisit with updates, kudos. Been following about a year, always watch your channels output on the day of uploading and quite often binge a few episodes every week, so your videos stand the test. This year I bought an accessory for my makita trimmer/router which I've found extremely useful, a bevel base, in the absence of a table saw I can use it for trimming angles or cutting angled dados, it allows me to make things with different shapes than ordinary right angle corners with great accuracy repeatability and speed. Thanks for all your work on the channel, take a well deserved pat on the back as well as a well earned break over yuletide, looking forward to seeing more in the future. Kind regards 👍🏻

[@startmaking1]

Thank you. Positivity is my main goal throughout the channel. I appreciate your support. I am truly so lucky to have people willing to be part of this journey. I think I have a bevel base for mine but have not tested it yet. Hearing what you can do makes me want to so thank you. I think some time next year I will do a router video of sorts as I feel much more comfortable with it now. What a lovely comment throughout. Thank you again.

[@YTubeSDD]

You're so real and relatable. Keep up the good work.

[@startmaking1]

Thats very kind thank you

[@coleamburn1048]

[@startmaking1]

Brilliant. Glad you found me and appreciate the follow.

[@JasonGrissom]

Great video Mark. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. I really like this style of video. Good to see a KZbinr admit when he was wrong. Appreciate you and here's to an even bigger year in 2024! 🥳

[@startmaking1]

Hi Jason. Hope you are well bud. Hope the holiday season is being kind. I really enjoyed this one. Like a cleanse I guess. I hope we see more of you in 2024. Take care bud.

[@JasonGrissom]

@@startmaking1 Thanks for the well wishes Mark. I took a bunch of time off for the holidays and it's been really good for me and my family. I have like 4 or 5 videos that are in various states so 2024 SHOULD be a good year. A bit of a spoiler...depending on geographics some people may get 1 more video from me in 2023. 😁 But again. Thank you so much Mark for being so supportive and a beacon of light in this crazy woodworking youtube thing! 😂

[@startmaking1]

You are way too kind bud. But I appreciate it. I am really looking forward to seeing those videos and I hope you get one out today or tomorrow, whenever it is ready. Well done for putting family first. It's a must. This YT thing can become all consuming and suddenly you realise that your mental health has taken a hit from constantly thinking about it. I have to remind myself that I started woodworking as a kind of therapy and that if I need it, I have to turn the camera off and just make some shavings. Anyway, I digress. You're doing great, that is all.

[@mikehawkins5418]

Excellent! So glad you’re doing this!

[@Jeff-mj1ty]

Well done you! Kudos for the graft - it must have been a graft, so I can only congratulate you for the videos you have produced. Your honesty must also be applauded. It IS good (well some of the editing isn't so great) work, so please continue with the good work.

[@startmaking1]

Thats really kind Jeff. Thank you.

[@joangrant5248]

I only found you today. I have to watched several of your videos. I like your videos and think what you are doing is really fantastic. I thinks it’s great that you have broken even. Cool. I also think you are an excellent presenter.

[@startmaking1]

Hi Joan. And thank you so much for watching the videos. I really do appreciate it and the kind comment. Very generous.

[@1959mikel]

Appreciate your summary, admitting mistakes and putting yourself out there like that deserves a subscription for sure! And its very informative, wish others summarize their good and bad advice! Good luck in 2024 and look forward to your future videos.

thank you so much. I try my best to always show my mistakes.

[@natesewell9402]

Love that you followed up on some of your previous suggestions and their potential shortcomings.

[@startmaking1]

Thank you. It felt cathartic in a way.

[@brianhylkema13]

Brand new wood enthusiast here, I was starting to think KZbin has zero value as a resource for learning woodworking. I commented on another channel that if there is a woodworking channel that remembers what it's like to be wholly ignorant of definitions, and slang, and tools, and materials, I haven't found it. I think i just did. Thank you. Gonna watch your video of the other channels I may like and then learn how to finally make a box without a festool track saw, jointer, and constantly getting dunked on by guys that constantly say, "two buh fur". Thanks again

[@startmaking1]

Hey Brian. Thank you for your comment. Loved it. I am nothing if not wholly ignorant about woodworking lol. Joking aside, I know what you mean. I try to make videos that I would watch. Im a beginner intermediate with very little experience and no expertise to speak of so trust me what I say that you will see builds that include mistakes and fixes, honesty about time scale and so on. I hope you enjoy. The channels I recommended are different but really fun. Check out grey otter studios, sumeray builds and Northern Works as great starting points.

[@TorpisoulYT]

[@startmaking1]

[@Bluuuz]

First, let me just say thanks for a great year of videos. You've really inspired me to become a better woodworker... Sure, that wasn't going to be too difficult given my basic skill-set but I have improved through your channel. The best tool that I bought off the back of your channel was the Dewalt right angled screwdriver bit thingy. When you showed it I thought, 'Meh! Maybe it would be useful but really, I'll survive.' Then I started building my daughter some wood storage boxes and I wanted all the screws to be on the inside... After burring half a box full, not to mention a couple of drill bits, I took the plunge and got it. It took me two screws to get used to how to apply pressure but then I was away! What an amazingly useful tool!! I'm so glad you recommended it. My Makita trim router is right up there, as well but because I watched your videos in a linear fashion, I already had that by the time you introduced it. ;) What wasn't worth it, though, was the box of router bits I bought to go with it. a) You only really used about 4 bits. b) Cheap bits break! The one bit of advice I would give is to save your pennies and try and buy a known quality brand. Bargains are out there if you're patient but for me cheap brands come with consequences (see below) I've been drooling over the DWE 7492 for ages. I've got a really cheap table saw with the advanced 'RFA' option (Random Fence Angle), that will cut wood at any angle apart from 90 degrees no matter how carefully you set it! Drives me nuts! I now use a straight piece of wood that I have to clamp into position every time, making anything but repetitive cuts a pain. Next year's wish list: DWE7492, a decent quality mitre gauge (that doesn't have any play in it), sash clamps of various sizes, a cabinet scraper and, once I've re-roofed the shed, some sort of air filtration because despite having dust extraction, fine dust gets EVERYWHERE (and it's a shared use space). Top projects for me next year: Loads of boxes with various joints (just for the practice really), a Moxon vice and a workbench with space for a DWE7492 on the end. :)

[@martinthorp7609]

Good to see you reflect on your past videos and refresh your opinions. I'm really looking forward to see what you do with your table saw, I own it's smaller brother and I really like it. I built a table for it to sit in complete with a "flip" for my table saw. I even found room to place a router into it. Works brilliantly for a small shop👍👍

[@startmaking1]

I am terrified of what I might do with the table saw lol. I will set it in a table. It will no doubt be too big for the space like everything else I build lol. Router is a smashing idea.

[@martinthorp7609]

Mine doubles as a workbench when my mitre saw is "flipped" away, and when the blade on my table saw is fully down, it makes for a flat working area.

[@startmaking1]

Thats my hope too for mine.

[@martinthorp7609]

Looking forward to see what you do 👍

[@williambuckley1185]

Mark, you are a good wood worker in my opinion and your honesty stands out. You have the right personality in order to do what you do. I know if you love what you do then half the battle is won, I also watch acutabove on youtube. I love his commitment to his channell is fantastic even though I don't always understand what he is doing, I also like his personality. Anyhow I love wood work and when it is too cold or hot to be in the work shop, I watch my favourite wood working vids and you have become one of my few favourites. I never make much money from my wood work but I give a lot of it away and the appreciation I recieve is often enough payment to make me want to keep going with it. You have what it takes so give it time and I think you will make it big.

[@startmaking1]

You are again spot on. Enjoying it is half the battle. I have subbed to the recommended channel. Appreciate the recommendation. And thank you.

[@shaun30-3-mg9zs]

Hi Mark hope your well, I've only been on you tube since May, I have watched video's before over the years on a lot of wood workers, but when I'm watching it's enjoyable and honest and like most things it's real and as it is . Keep making these videos I value your opinions and so what you you made a few hic ups but who doesn't I do all the time. So carry on were you left off and let start making again in January and beyond. I wish you and you family the best wishes for Christmas and I will catch you soon mate, take care👍

[@startmaking1]

Hi Shaun. Hope you are well bud. Genuinely feels like you have been around the channel since the start, such is the level of your support. Cant wait for January, so much positivity surrounding this channel that I genuinely look forward to making videos whenever I can. Merry Christmas to you and yours from me and mine.

[@startmaking1]

Hi Peter. every time I mention the cost video is coming I think of you. lol. Sorry. It is one I want to get right as it will wrap up that series. It is also one that will pinch a little as I went (purposely and accidentally) over the budget. Have a lovely Christmas, take care.

[@peterjohneggleton2011]

Hi Mark, merry Christmas again, Just wondered where you got the extra base with dust port for your router from? Not easy to find with dust port, or is it a plungebase locked off? Cheers mate.

[@startmaking1]

IT was a mission. the clear dust connector was amazon and the base was from B and Q, though it is not the cheapest place now.

[@steveread1798]

Breaking even sounds like a massive achievement. Well done.

[@startmaking1]

Thank you. Much appreciated.

[@zapa1pnt]

Congratulations!, my friend, on the wonderful successes, of both your shop and your channel. AND in only 1 year. 👍👍👏👏👏👏 As you noted, there are many good wood worker channels out there. What sets you apart is your personality, positive attitude, skill with relating to the camera and editing skills. On top of that, you are a craftsman, as demonstrated by the box repair/redesign you showed. You made a mistake, got nasty tear-out but instead of just saying Oh Sh** and throwing it away to start over, you fixed it with an imaginative redesign, making it better than it was and as though there was never a mistake. That is craftsmanship. 😁✌🖖

[@startmaking1]

Wow, what a lovely comment. as they always are. You are very much appreciated as a supporter of what I do. I am truly lucky to have not only great advice but having it given in a positive fashion. thank you. I dont take it for granted.

Hi Paul. Thats the fun, we can't all agree, especially when I am wrong lol. Have a lovely festive break.

[@Ian_pilcher]

Hi mark, I'm lucky enough to have had that table saw for 5 years. Your in for a treat, I've used several table saws at work and this one is by far the best I've tried. It is so accurate and reliable and even possible to make a zero insert for. The only 2 downsides on my model is the stop button and volume of the motor. That being said I now the switch has been fixed on the newer model your have to let me know about the motor DBS in a vid

[@startmaking1]

Now I am excited. And thank you for the feedback from your experience. Volume should be ok as I wont be running it in a production style way I dont think. We will see. I can't wait to make a fancy zero clearance plate and then ruin it lol. Let's hope I can make an average to good bench to house it in.

[@wsherratt5159]

Hiya Mark, Another great video matey and the message was clear. We all make mistakes here and there, and there can’t be one of us in this community who looks at something we’ve made and thought, “ I’d do that different next time”. That’s the joy of woodworking. Your honesty and self effacing views just reinforce that genuine bloke persona so keep at it our kid! In the spirit of trying something new, I’ve just put my lathe to use and learning to wood turn. I’ve had the most fun and strangely therapeutic experiences and just lost myself in the time I was making something. I’m looking forward to the saw station build. I have a station in place and love it to bits, especially mastering the dust extraction, so I’ll look out for that vid. A big thumbs up for breaking even matey. Well done. Wayne

[@startmaking1]

Hey Wayne. Thank you so much. Wow, I am very jealous of the wood turning. If I could deal with the mess I would give it a go at some stage but for now I think I need to master the sawing tools. I can absolutely imagine ti being hypnotic. It's bad enough using a hand plane and just taking too many shavings as it is so fun and relaxing. The dust extraction with the table saw is going to be a journey. My initial thoughts are to have a shop vac for the top so I can have a boom arm of sorts and just attach it and then use it for sanders etc. And then a chip extractor down below. Or just another shop vac with a cyclone. Not sure on that one yet. Time and funds will tell I guess.

[@wsherratt5159]

@@startmaking1 HI Mark, I decided to go with a small lathe, workshop size demands it and frankly, I want to do small arty type stuff and not be that bloke with a houseful of bloody bowls! On my table saw, I linked it direct to a shop vac with cyclone under the table as you have identified. My table saw and chop saw live almost next to each other with a handy switch for the dedicated vac close by to the pair and both are set to the same heights so I can use the bed of the table saw to support lengths going towards the chop saw. It’s still all fun and games and I just love being in there in my own space. Best of luck matey. Wayne

[@startmaking1]

I get what you mean about a house full of bowls. I know people like that. Beautiful bowls mind you. As for dust collection, I keep going back and forth on the table saw, some say vac others say one of the larger low power, high volume extractors. It's a mine field. I think Vac as mine is not a cabinet saw but them what do I hook a thicknesser up to as and when I use one. maybe eventually I need both.

Great video as usual. I only started watching your videos in the past few weeks and I have found them really good and informative. The workshop build was brilliant and in some parts funny. I only started woodworking just as Covid kicked in as a way to unwind after work. I was given some used pallet tops about a year before that. I had some ideas what to use them for, but I ended up making other things. I've got a very basic collection of tools and I'm adding to it slowly. Keep up the great work and videos

[@startmaking1]

Thank you so much. And I am glad you have found the channel. I agree with the comedy around the build. In a way it made the tough bits not feel so bad. I started woodworking at around the same time as you and for very similar reasons. The journey is the best part and I hope you continue to enjoy it.

Good morning . It’s 04:44 am and I’m rattling over the M25 on the commute to work. I’ve just stumbled across your channel and immediately subscribed. I’m trying to get into wood work and yours is the only content I’ve found from a fellow English man , or doesn’t appear to have a billion pounds in tools and an aircraft hanger for a workshop. I have no clue how to use hand tools and many makers I’ve come across use power everything and I’ve followed a few set up videos that have led me to a screwfix and a host of erbauer regrets . I’ll be going through your playlist and maybe checking out any links to tools etc . Thanks and have a great day

[@startmaking1]

That is an early start Bud. I have to say that I struggled a little to find relatable woodworkers when I started too. My only advice is to watch the larger ones for entertainment, the experts like Matt Estlea for skills and learning and the small workshops like myself and Badgers workshop, Grey Otter studios, Northern works, Northern Woodhouse, woodworking journey, the list goes on, as more relatable inspiration. Sadly it is the natural progression of YouTubing woodworkers to grow as they produce videos. I am about to progress to a table saw and in truth have had it for 3 months now and am a little nervous to introduce it to the channel as it is not what all the viewers have. But we will see. Anyway, I am rambling, have a good day. I hope the early start means an early finish.

[@startmaking1]

Hi. Thank you first off . To be honest, I have wrestled with the idea of patron for months. On one hand I want to try and make more videos but I need to focus on my stable income job and also I never want to put viewers in a position where it is money for nothing. Or worse, I put up some kind of barrier to entry. I won't do that. My idea, and I would love your feedback on this, both as an appreciated supporter but also as a yt watcher, is to open up patreon, offer up free print files, free build plans, much like other channels but also raffle off everything I make. So from boxes to tools I buy just to review. Just give them away. Someone reached out in the last video offering to buy the chisel holder. I'm not set up to sell so I am dropping one off for free next week. I would love to do that after every video. I am making a load of boxes for another video and would love to give them away. Just a way of making patreon a bit different. What do you think. Hope I explained it well. Basically you still get the videos if you don't pay and I don't treat people differently.

[@themeat5053]

@@startmaking1 I think you're on to something there. Everyone likes to be appreciated. Personally, if I did things on KZbin, I wouldn't count on it as my primary income source, no matter how lucrative some folks make it out to be. I've been around long enough to see many fads (pet rocks, for one, beanie babies, baseball cards; some might say a republican form of democracy). It would always be a side hustle for me. I couldn't, at some point, afford the equipment to do a professional job without a deleterious effect on my craft...where am I going? Back on point, if you gave back to your supporters, to me, that would be a draw. Also, I guess you could offer any donation to your cause so that you're not all the rest who start their services at a set price. Selling products (i.e. your plans and gently used tools) would be a good move. This fulfills a need...some beginners need help in that area. I was brought up in the ancient system where they had aids that were, essentially, pattern books; once memorized and done thousands of times, they became old hat. Whatever you do, you'll succeed. You're thoughtful, incisive and not greedy; so, good on you! I hope any of the above can be useful in your thought process.

[@ibubezi7685]

@@themeat5053 David - 'Make something' buys a piece of furniture at Goodwill, mods/tunes it and then returns it for them to sell (again). He gets to make a video out of it and then 'gives it away'. If you want to make things, ask your subscribers who to donate it to (in the UK). Say, you make a chair, I know a school or charity that could use it - you ship/deliver it. Or, you build an extension for a SPCA shelter - or you repair something for them and video it. Patreon: not sure, I never signed up with them (I'm not the most generous person, I do buy plans/books) - you can receive donations here as well. Another route: raffle of a morning of woodworking at your shop - in a few hours you build something together and they either take it home or donate it. Or, organise some classes - ask for donations (materials, tools), even sponsors?, call it 'Marks' boxing classes' and you make.... boxes! 🤣 Also, I would think about your reliance on YT - they are utterly woke, channels get shadowbanned for petty (read: political) reasons, they can not be trusted - like others, start working on a non-YT online presence (Peter - '10 minute workshop' is doing that) - it takes a lot of work, but it makes you more 'independent' (also, make backups of ALL your videos, so you can host them by yourself once needed). Anyway, from the top of my head. Thanks for your videos, wishing you a great Xmas and an even better 2024!

[@startmaking1]

@themeat5053. I agree, it can never be a primary income source unless you have the savings to back it up. YT could change the game in a second and decide that they dont pay creators any more. Then the game is done. Your help and advice is always welcome and appreciated. I want to give more than I get, whether through selling, giving tools away as I have a few times so far this year. Or through Patreon. I have been able to give away the plans to the cleat holders I used the laser to make and that has cost me nothing more than an attachment in an email and 10 seconds work. And now someone else can make then and try them out. It feels good, especially as my limited computer skills nearly held me back from making them in the first place and I'm not the only old dog struggling with new tech. Plans are a funny one. I see them sold for $30 on some sites and I am staggered. When I manage to learn how to use the program to make them I dont think I could justify that. Free to PAtreons seems a sensible way, so long as I can keep making interesting enough things. Anyway, time will tell. Take care and think you bud.

[@startmaking1]

@ibubezi7685 Thank you for the insight. you are right of course. YT can change in a minute. And then where is the income. I like what Peter Millard has done, it has taken a lot gf work and time but he has done very well. To be honest while this is alongside my full time job, I just dont have the hours to give that but I know I need to eventually, Especially if the audience continues to grow. I just hope I dont do anything to annoy YT in the mean time. I have kept all my videos thank fully. Not something I saw as important originally but they are all stored away with the original data too. As for classes, that is a way down the line as I just dont have the skills to teach, a collaboration is more suitable especially as there are a lot of people not he same trajectory as me who started this hobby in covid times. Patreon is a tough one as it provides a more stable income of sorts but also grows a smaller more hive mind style viewer base that can offer a lot of help to the maker. I would not start it on a whim though as I would always want to give more than I get I that regard, ie all plans free, give away what I build for whatever use the receiver sees fit, be it sell, donate etc, And some kind of monthly vlog style insight into the life of a maker. who knows , but thank you for the input.

I'm thinking this is the start of a yearly tradition 😄 I found your videos mid easy through this year and went back and watched them all. I enjoy your style and, hopefully without sounding rude, your level of skill, as it is a lot closer to mine than what other KZbinrs show. I've tried to comment on every video as I've been led to believe this helps the channel out. My one slight criticism, or should I say hope for next year, is that the laser doesn't show up too much 😉 thanks to you and other KZbinrs, I've just finished making my oldest a day bed out of the £350 spruce beams you get from B&Q and MDF. Whilst it needs some filler and painting, it is perfectly useable and I'm pretty happy with the results. I have the DeWalt 7485 (I think) tablesaw and love it. It's a big game changer. I suspect the next main tool you need is a thicknesser/planer. Well worth the money. Wish I'd had one at the start of the bed project rather than at half way through. Anyways, essay over. I hope you and yours have a great Christmas and New Year!

[@startmaking1]

I quite like the concept. It feels a little like a vlog. More real than a scripted video. Not rude at all, I consider myself a beginner intermediate for sure. As for the laser, I owe one more video and after that is is just a luxury tool that I plan to use to make stuff for other people. I dont want to go down the route of being a high tech channel. Well done on the day bed project. The perfect project when it combines making with family. My favourite. I have a confession about the planer. I actually had one a while back but have not used it as it was not on the level the channel was. So it has sat around for a long time waiting for me to get to it. It was a deal too good to turn down basically. Merry Christmas Bud and your support is not taken for granted, thank you
