Stop that stupid look bs

[@flashwashington2735]

Good I love cheap good stuff. When I was a kid I was always fascinated with the Ben Franklins and other 5 and 10 cent store. Dollar Tree and flea markets. I don't need or want the stuff but it is amazing to me when you can get genuine useful stuff so cheap. Thanks.

[@williamdanaher2574]

I got the paint cones too. Here's a tip: because they leave scratches easily because they are pointed, put a piece of tape or on the tip or even dip it in epoxy for a smooth surface.

[@PaganWizard]

I keep several of those sanding mice in my shop, one for each grit sanding disk I have. I mark them with a black Sharpie marker so I don't have to guess which grit I'm grabbing. When the sandpaper wears out, I replace it with the same grit.

[@joemcdonald8516]

Matt, Just a note about your comment with the "T-tracks and arriving safely with their shipping technique. I ordered a set of 2 of their T-tracks, and they arrived in fine shape. Howvere, not being metric savvy, I ended up with 30 30mm tracks. I re-ordered the appropriate 19mm ones which equate to the 3/4" imperial measurement. They also arrived as straight as an arrow. So, I'm 4 for 4 on straight tracks 😁

[@bradleyhenry4793]

I think the 36 degree is so you can divide a circle into 10 segments? or if you were to cut 36 of the ends of 5 boards you could put them together to make a pentagon.

[@no1slisteninganyway]

Thanks, Matt. I've also had mixed luck with Temu. That pry bar is a hive tool for beekeeping.

[@BaneBoy2424]

Have you ever thought about building a slab table? Not necessarily a river table but just any kid of slab table. I’d love a build video of that. And I already know how successful slab table build are on KZbin. Something you should definitely consider!

[@randywilson4529]

Thanks for the updated video on what item that you found that we good to buy in your opinion, I was mostly interested in that router radius corner chamfering tool, plus the router setup bars, but the whole video was helpful for someone like me who is just starting out on a budget.

[@garybrooks2730]

After watching your vids on Ryobi tools I am now the owner of most of the gooduns thanks to you & your reviews they are all outstanding work horses for the D I Y r thankyou so much for taking the time & risk of buying all the tools & testing them keep up the good work

[@garymiller5937]

Thanks for checking them out. It's good to know you can find quality products for considerably less money. Now I can get some things I've been hesitant to because of the prices. I'm impressed! 😊😊😊

[@eva-justice-heath7053]

Hi Matt! I love your videos! I get lots of inspiration and inFORmation on subjects I never would have thought of. So, thank you for sharing your talent with us. Just so you know, I had to call Temu customer support once and actually asked about the pronunciation and... well... you're doin' it wrong! lol It's a LONG e with emphasis on the first syllable: "TEE-moo." Thanks for sharing the good the bad and the ugly so those of us just starting out don't waste money on junk that doesn't work (i.e. the handheld router you tried - I ALMOST bought one!) Have a Happy, Healthy and Blessed Not Stressed New Year!

[@Mjayy501]

Found your channel and got the inspiration to start woodworking as a side hustle. Maybe even one day full time! I'm also from Arkansas, so seeing that you are too is awesome. Thanks for the inspiration and building advise!! WPS!

[@JosephHenry-nd1su]

Recently purchased from Temu and will definitely be using your advice. Thanks for the information.

[@danielparker6102]

Thank you for showing the OK items from Temu. That will help me alot. I also get the mini or midi crafts items from Temu for the Kids so they can paint them and hang them up on the Christmas Trees. God Bless you.

[@GrantOakes]

I've bought a LOT of small tools from Temu and the only one I've had a problem with was the countersink bit. I used it on a steel bed frame I was repurposing and they dulled after just a few seconds of use. They would probably work fine on wood, but they were supposedly titanium, so I figured they'd be fine.

[@dc6233]

Don't forget that steel bed frames are made of tempered steel, they are extremely hard and tough or any drill or countersink to get thru.

[@CowsGoMonkey]

quick google on drilling steel bed frames would have saved you a lot of trouble.

[@ericwilliams538]

This is awesome actually!!! I've been hesitant about buying products from this site. One thing that I have had my eyes on was some of the after market replacement miter gauges for table saws ( and some other table saw accessories) that are offered. If you or anyone else has "braved" the cost of testing out some of the miter gauges, please let me know. They are very expensive, they range from $30 to $60 bucks or so..... nothing outrageously priced, but when you live on an extremely tight budget, every little dollar counts!!!! Again, thanks for any type of information!!

[@joshua1281]

I also got the machinist square, and mine was dead-on accurate too. Pleasant surprise!

[@jonw6376]

Thanx so much for this video. I couldn't even make it halfway thru your Temu Trash video the other day. I'd seen Matthew Peech's Temu Trash video, too (I couldn't make it thru it either), & had pretty much written them off.

[@TomsShop]

I imagine the 36 degrees on that bevel Gauge setup block is to prepare to cut 10 equal pie slices of a disc like for a side table top. Thanks for the tips!

[@ja-no6fx]

Thanks for all the recommendations for my 3d printer.

[@dondale68]

Those little trays with an inspirational quote would sell like fire! Be excellent to add to savings for your next big tool! I like to make my woodshop pay for itself!

[@Wes-x9p]

HE IS IMAGINARY?

[@Jenisonc]

4:42 I needed a laugh. Thanks, Brother. 😂🤘

[@flatlander523]

Good video Matt. Lots of good stuff. Tried to get a couple of items but sold out. I am on the notify list.🙂

[@eva-justice-heath7053]

Occasionally a different vendor will have the same item. There should be a "shop similar" button on the sold out item. When it takes you to a different vendor they are often the exact same product. Not ALWAYS, mind you (so don't come and say I said ALWAYS lolol), but OFTEN! Have a great day and happy Temu shopping! 🙂

[@TheSMEAC]

Best to take a bit of sandpaper wrapped around a sanding block to knock the super sharp point off the painting triangles 👍

[@yellotang]

I just watched a news video out of Chicago tv news in which they reported that temu app was to be avoided due to severe privacy issues. My wife has ordered from them a few times and no problems but she uninstalled due to that video. Was wondering if anyone has had issues with them besides sometimes cheap products.

[@DebsHill1]

not had issue but saw similar video and have deleted it

[@ttapion]

I have a strange issue. I keep getting a bunch of 1m long led strip lights in the mail. They're being sent to me using a different email and card but with my address. Since it's a different email, it's a different account, therefore I can't access it to change it. I'm not being charged anything. It almost seems like trolling. lol. I deleted my account immediately but they still come in the mail every few months. So I have about 20+ 1m long led strip lights that aren't interconnectable haha

[@ttapion]

I know I need to contact them

[@DebsHill1]

@@ttapion 😂😂

[@ttapion]

Also, I did order some of these lights last year on alibaba to see if it would actually arrive. I never ordered them on temu. Weird!

[@NPOAfterMidnight-ft9zj]

Love your channel and your subtle messages, Keep the inspiration coming.

[@p24t]

36 degree would probably be for something 10-sided, or 5-sided depending on how you're cutting things.

[@austinbasiolli2705]

Every thumbnail this dude looks like he’s seeing his first pair of knockers 😂

[@731Woodworks]

But you clicked 😂 so it’s working. 👊🏻

[@normbarrows]

I tried paint cones, but they left marks on my guitar finishes. Is there a way to avoid that? Depending on the build, some guitars are easier to finish while lying flat. But finishing one side at a time doubles drying times.

[@todd4546]

I ordered the square from Temu that you have in this video, it too was true Square.

[@joemcdonald8516]

Matt, I did not read through all of the 170+ comments, but the 36º setting on the angle gauge is for, among other things I guess, laying out and cutting 5 point stars. The process I'm familiar with uses 36º and the complimentary 54º angle

[@u3pyg]

Or because it is 1/10 of a circle 360

[@iandanger883]

Also, 1/10th of your mom.

[@michaelwillson6847]

Nice to see few them hidden gems there matt am gonna take punt on few more things shortly 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

[@danb5357]

Man I been watching you a long time. Please don't fall victim to the "all thumbnails have to make it look like I'm trying to get more than one hot dog in my mouth at the same time" thing.

[@billzorba9424]

Good videos, to the point with no umming and arring.

[@larryaltman1872]

You mentioned a good set of Forstner bits on one of your videos, and now I can't find it. Thanks, Larry A.

[@michaelm1053]

Yeah this confirms my hypothesis You just gotta know what to buy Gonna watch your vid on what not to get

[@motor.mental]

Thanks for the video you could do a video showing a laser engraver for the tray

[@davidcorliss]

He doesn't have a laser engraver

[@motor.mental]

Thats just an idea for a review video maybe

[@Individuality1990]

Hey mate, T bevel gauge has 36 degrees for pentagonal mitres

[@chinh101]

At first i thought you were helping us newbies out. The more i watch your channel the more i noticed your auras are "buy this buy that, you need this you need that!!! "

[@williamweiss1096]

TEMU also sells plastic welding/repair material. If you break them, you can purchase the fixing material

[@DavidWhite2501]

I like your T shirts, brother. 😮

[@RichardBuckman]

36 is one tenth of 360 degrees. So you could make a ten sided shape (measuring the outside angle from straight across)

[@thomasdaley2929]

You missed an opportunity to use the scene from My Cousin Vinny when the prosecutor says "Identical" for the tire patterns. You nailed the King Neptune scene.

[@rachellelapre9238]

Ok, what is with the baby hippo? Love it!

[@maartenklem2272]

Love the channel, just curious where you get your t-shirts from 😁🔥

[@kevinmccarthy8670]

36`is for cutting crown molding I think

[@atcjmas]

Love the shirt brother!✝️

[@mediocremechanic3647]

36 degrees is the common measurements for a set of stairs. With the standard tread depth of 10" and rise of 7¼"

[@robertalford2257]

Love the cuffs in the tool chest.🤣Are they from Temu?

[@kennethharman2779]

We buy “Hyde “ bars, flat pry bars for like $4 at the local stores

[@keithf5236]

just started watching this one and the yellow pointed triangles for painting, do they leave a dent in the other side? Had some similar round ones from amazon with a silicon base and black inserts with a tiny point for the purpose of lowest contact with paint or sealer. They put tiny divots everywhere they touched the surface.

[@731Woodworks]

they can if the project is heavy enough

[@keithf5236]

It was simple pine 1x4s for staining both sides and length was 3ft pcs

[@Cat_R_Waul]

@@keithf5236Anything will dent pine. But I’ve had them dent maple too.

[@keithf5236]

@@Cat_R_Waulkinda bummed bc I figured the short sections of 1x4s would of weighed less to not do that. Disappointing so many creators say there great for painting and staining and giving a false hope it doesn't mar the surface.

[@brucehansen7949]

​@@keithf5236sand down the points or epoxy them, seems fairly simple. Or even put tape on them, like 3+ layers of tape. I do this with a lot of projects, mostly using pine cuz its easy to get free scrap pine wood so I've learned to build on a budget

What brand of toolbox do you have in your shop? I'm looking for options for my garage.

[@731Woodworks]

[@steffendetrick]

Don’t know about the 36 but 35.3 is for a compound miter when cutting crown flat that has 45° spring angle. That’s the closest thing I can think of.

Those notebooks look like air hockey tables! 😂

[@DixieNormous1]

Temu is good for fishing lures and I bought some hey dude look-alikes for $15.. I did buy a $2.49 speed square with a level, which was cheaper than my $99 trig jig 😂😅🤣 And a pocket hole jig for $9. I haven't tried yet 😅

[@karlbenz8232]

That glue brush set with glue tray and spreader looks like a direct knockoff of Rockler’s. Not right and also not a good endorsement of it for that same reason. Just my 2 cents.

[@corydenton756]

The ones rockler sells are probably made at the exact same factory as the temu ones. Rockler or kreg dont own a factory that makes their products, they outsource. No reason to pay for the name.

[@Wraith3Snpr]

I hadn't even heard of Temu until I saw ads on Facebook for an aluminum crosscut thing for a table saw. It was like $39 so I immediately figured it was trash. It would be interesting to see those tested because it *looks* like the ones selling for several hundred dollars.

[@RFC3514]

Several of the ones selling for several hundred dollars are also trash.

[@Wraith3Snpr]

​@@RFC3514 That's what I assume. Seeing some of the rules and squares he's tested that the measurements don't line up, reaffirms it. However every once in a while there's a gem.

36 degrees is making miter cuts on molding laying flat

I hate Temu! I used the link you provided for the paint-pyramids, went through the whole process of buying them at a great price of £1.49, until the very last stage when I was informed that I had to spend a minimum of £15 to process the order. The additional spend had to be on a small selection of products, non of which were of any interest. Apart from that, your videos are really good, although the sponsorships are getting in the way these days.

[@johnrains8409]

Yeah, some of these things are knock-offs, but if the big companies do not have a patent, shame on them. Cheap things can usually be designed just enough differently to get around patents anyway. I worked 30 years in corporate America and saw them get rich off employees' ideas who got a pat on the back and dinner for 2 at Outback. I do not feel sorry for them in the least.
