Budget Gift Ideas for Woodworkers / Crafters / DIY

[@myerscok]

Great ideas, thank you 👍 I’m just planning some hardwood end grain right now that is a bit stubborn, I’m going to try some alcohol on it. Another idea for an inexpensive, but superb, gift is a tape dispenser for blue tape. Only yesterday I caught my finger with a plane blade and I was able to dispense some blue tape right away with one hand to close up the wound instantly. Of course it comes in handy for other tasks too 😂

Thoughtful and useful list! I hadn’t heard of some of those. I like the Silky saw. My dear grandkids have donated my other saws to the forest floor and I need one!

[@Huttify]

Silky Bigboy is also fantastic. Haven't brought an axe with me for years.

[@TWC6724]

That door knob screwdriver has been in my list for a long time. So cool

[@professor62]

THANK YOU for the excellent-and affordable-gift suggestions!

[@awldune]

Very helpful for those of us who have trouble coming up with hints to give the family.

[@puddinggeek4623]

An excellent list of useful affordable items. Also an excellent video as always, keep up the good work.

[@thomashverring9484]

Many of those are spot on in my shop, but I already have them :^) I can always use more leather scraps!

[@ToolsandTime]

Some cool and useful items in there--bonus that they are inexpensive also!

[@vasbites]

Excellent content as always.

[@scottmedori1437]

I go to a tarp making shop to buy my leather. They sell scraps for a fraction of what someone like Tandy would

[@ugaladh]

I have a folding pruning saw for pruning or taking along in the truck as you mentioned, but unless things have changed, Silky is actually one of the expensive brands. I got a Corona to replace an old wooden Corona that I lost and am happy with it.,

[@wortheffort]

Silky is premium because of the blade.

[@kensurratt2729]

All interesting gift ideas, glad to see a short to the point video. Im probably like a lot of you tubers. I watch more shorts these days. I still watch full length vids for reference. Thumbs up.

[@PattersonPatch]

with the leather scraps give them a set a punches. then they can punch circles to use as pads for set screws since those always go missing.

[@loucinci3922]

Great ideas. Thanks for sharing

[@MrC_5150]

Add some lemon zest to that EverClear and everything will smell lemony fresh. Or concoct yer own Limoncello. Even better!

[@wcmeyer6846]

Agree. Good info. thanks

[@josephpotterf9459]

Thanks n happy holidays to ya'll as well

[@jude4896]

Thanks for sharing 😊

[@a-do-hia-i-sv9593]

What a great video!

[@dianadougherty7187]

Good video, but I would love for you to do some more woodturning videos. thankyou

[@wortheffort]

There are 77+ turning videos on my channel. Surely you haven't seen em all.

[@richpeggyfranks490]

Thanks for an honest woodworking list. I never used alcohol on end grain, but I'll try it tomorrow. How's the mandolin coming?

[@wortheffort]

That's a far in the future project.

[@rossgraham8776]

Thanks - Hock was bought by Lee Valley not Lie Neilsen - they are now available on their website

[@wortheffort]

As noted in description.

[@TheRealMagisD]

I really like to see a vid from you on how to sharpen the slod knifes. I was never able to get it right on my first one and pretty sure I ruined it.

[@andrewbrimmer1797]

You mentioned Harley do you get to ROT

[@wortheffort]

Rally’s like that aren’t that enjoyable to me. Worked in industry for 14 years. I’ve had enough. Always the same.

[@jonathanhowe42]

I'm sorry I'm watching this so late, but would the handheld sharpening stone be useful for kitchen knives? Or if not, what's your solution for that?

[@wortheffort]

A knife’s a knife.

[@jonathanhowe42]

@@wortheffort Ok - and I made the comment before I saw the other sharpener you mentioned that you use for your pocket knife, so I ordered one of those to give it a shot. Thanks for the suggestions!

[@martintheron1386]

Paul Sellers gas video on sharpening a pair of scissors

[@networkengineer.online]

Makes me want them all! Very nice presentation. Do I need them all, nope, but would be so nice. - An intermittent woodworker appreciates this!

[@OregonOldTimerWOODTURNING]

Why grain alcohol rather than denatured?

[@wortheffort]

No dryers (poison) about same price.

[@josephs2581]

i think you can also use isopropyl 99% in some cases (eg shellac). Canadians have access to ethanol with a less toxic agent to prevent consumption (but nowhere near as bad as what's in denatured alcohol)

[@Ethan7s]

Not begrudging you or anyone else, because Amazon is very convenient, it’s just that buying from them is essentially giving them your soul a little piece at a time.

[@wortheffort]

Don’t be rude on this channel.

[@Ethan7s]

@@wortheffort I’ll use your links next time I buy something from Amazon.

[@TheRealMagisD]

Cool list, the audio was rough and grainy on this one though.
