C'est mon rêve d'avoir un atelier comme le votre !!! 🙏

[@noyesharrigan6217]

@@Chris_PerthWA Wondering the same myself. From the video it appears to be a 1" wide slot centered 2" from the bottom of the board (you can see the reading on Marie's combo square is 1.5" and 2.5" when she draws it).

What got me to click on your video was seeing Montreal in the name. I grew up in N.D.G I absolutely love the cookbook stand and it's nice to see a woman doing this stuff. It gives me the inspiration to do it myself.

[@hishamhamdan2105]

The first real wood worker I have ever seen. Respect from Syria

[@jackmahoney4534]

Great ideas. Thanks for all you do. I made the cookbook holder this week. Came out great. Used solid cherry for backing and maple for the stand. I did change one dimension from your plans. While the foot on the stand is sufficient for an iPad, it is not deep enough for my wife's thicker cookbooks. For example, her Betty Crocker cookbook is two inches thick. So I made the foot of the stand larger to accommodate people who cook old school style. Thanks again!

[@kristiefeldman2684]

Are you kidding me!!!! That lamp is killer!,! I need a woodworking mentor lol

[@Silvermaples_Chad.Rhodes]

I'm always amazed how different wood workers accomplish similar outcomes with various tools.

[@rosebuhr]

I don’t have your equipment or woodworking skills but I’m mesmerised by the detail you put into everything you make.

Thank you, appreciate it!

The straw method is a game changer…just got yourself another subscriber

[@rmar127]

Could make that bread slicer more versatile by having a straight cut on one end and the mitre cut on the other end.

[@judyblank8380]

I love the detailed explanations on how to make all of your different items!

[@jocelynberard5472]

Your holiday suggestions are excellent. Your explanations, videos, instructions and website info are top quality. Merci!

[@MarksAGoodLad]

Your workshop organisation / jig game is absolutely inspirational. Incredible work.

[@Jim-bu6si]

Marie- Thanks for the recipe book/tablet holder design. I actually made a walnut face frame around mine and I am waiting for a template to inlay a ❤ in the middle of the maple. I thought it might make it a little cooler when it is empty. Another idea I had was to install a small fit up clock where you have your hole in the handle, but most tablets show the digital time. Hope you have a great holiday! Jim and his sidekick Booker-

BRAVO ! QUE DE BONNES IDEES..... LA LAMPE EST MAGNIFIQUE.... BONNES FETES DE NOEL ...

[@dinahdupree-martin9855]

I love a woman with a tool shop like yours. Great work!!!

[@brendo1000]

Thank you for sharing. I made several recipe book stands as gifts this Xmas, and everyone loved them. Maple and Walnut are exotic here in Australia - so even more impressive result! Love the channel!

[@boyderoutdoors]

I made the iPad stand for my wife for Christmas and she loves it! My modification was to use dowels for the supports and incorporate holders on the back so it could all be kept together when stored . Thanks for some great ideas!!

[@topstitchgirl]

I'm not a woodworker yet I enjoy your channel and especially your gift ideas every year. I love these.

[@DIYMontreal]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@ilikeit2ful]

Thank you for an inspirational video. I like the way you present your videos, fast enough to not waste time on monotonous stuff, yet slow enough to get a good hang of it. Thank a lot for the templates and other stuff you provided. Keep on the good work!

[@davidcurtis474]

I agree, Thanks Marie.

[@danielhanawalt4998]

Nice pieces. I especially like the lamp and the cookbook/IPAD/serving tray stand.

[@9999Michigan]

Every time I watch one of your videos where you include that flip top cabinet for your DeWalt planer, I smile. I built mine EXACTLY like you did yours (according to your build video) and it is the best shop accessory I have. Thank You! Do you think your laser engraver was a good purchase? It's rather expensive and I wanted to hear your comments on it before taking your advice on buying it. Keep up the great work!

[@DIYMontreal]

Thanks! Love thay flip top it's served me well! As for the laser engraver, I'm still just figuring out how to use it and barely scratching the surface with what it can do. So it's too soon to tell if it's worth it, but I hope so!

[@danalaniz7314]

Thank you! These are all amazing and great gift ideas. I even thought about how the cut-off corners from the light tower could be business card holders. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@helenablignaut662]

I love these ideas! The lamp is surprisingly easier to make than what it seems.

[@DIYMontreal]

I totally agree!

[@d13229scott]

I’ve watched your videos pretty much since you started. Shop has come a long way. Your router table video inspired me to build one. It’s one of my prize tools. Also did 3 baguette slicers and 10 of the 3 in 1 bottle openers. Enjoy all your videos, well done.

[@aprildegele1510]

One more tip that makes life so much easier. White vinegar removes glue residue. If you've wiped most of the glue off at the beginning, there shouldn't be much left. However, if you wipe the whole piece down with white vinegar, you'll see any residue left over. As you know, those residue marks show up like a beacon once you put the finish on, and then you're down to sanding off not only the finish, but the glue residue. With white vinegar, all you have to do is dampen the spots, wait until it starts to become opaque (if it's thick) or simply scrub thin spots until the glue comes out. It will actually pull the residue out of your wood completely without raising the grain. For thick spots, you can easily scrape them off and then repeat to get rid of anything left in the wood. Now, BE CAREFUL on joints. If you flood the joints with too much vinegar (some folks flood the whole thing, yikes), it could very easily take apart your joint since it will seep below the surface. Better to pat, let it sit, rub or scrape, and repeat until it's gone. I volunteer as a supervisor in a 50+ woodshop and we have a jug of white vinegar specifically for this purpose. Works great and saves a LOT of sanding as well as a lot of "Doh!" later.

[@sharksys]

Thanks so much for the iPad/Cookbook Stand. I was able to make one exactly like your (sort-of) for my wife for Christmas. She loved it and the Maple/Walnut blend was really awesome! Thanks so much!

[@Chris_PerthWA]

How far up from the base is the ipad stand slot

[@sharksys]

@@Chris_PerthWA mine is not perfectly to her dimensions, but the bottom slot is about 2” from the bottom of the maple cutting board. I was using a walnut panel that I had glued up months ago for another project to fit the slot for the iPad base. If I could figure out how to upload a picture here, I would.

[@Chris_PerthWA]

Ha ha, some of us still love reading paper books :) Enjoy!

[@DH-ku6qg]

Well done!! All really nice and well thought out projects. Will look at your other videos as well. Thank you.

[@SaintFredrocks]

You should use a router pin when you are doing the roundovers like that. Even if you have been doing this for years, it is a much safer way to use the router table, and people that are new to woodworking should be shown how to do things the safest way. Thanks for another great video.

[@CarolMcGill-z3y]

You are amazing and I love your shop!!! Thanks for the inspiration!!

[@williamellis8993]

Those are all really neat, Marie. When you first started, I was wondering how you would incorporate hexagons and you didn't disappoint. Bill

lol is it weird that I though of you when I was making them? Wouldn't want to disappoint!

[@aprildegele1510]

That lamp is pretty great! Easier than I'd have thought. Thanks for sharing it! As someone who works with epoxy often, a couple of tips. I noted you're using a tongue depressor (that gets sent with nearly every epoxy set) to stir. As a woodworker also, I know that these tongue depressors have air in them because, well, wood. So, mixing with a tongue depressor actually adds bubbles to your epoxy (faster than would have happened if you weren't actively stirring, which forces the air out faster). And just as the tongue depressor breathes, so does the inset wood. You can get rid of all of the bubbles with a torch/heat gun and do it until you don't see any more bubbles ... until the next day after the bubbles had been released from the inset wood. Total bummer. I've had the best luck mixing with the handle end of plastic takeout cutlery or a silicone stir stick and putting a thin coat (and it can be UV so it's cured in minutes with a hi watt black light or outside in the sun in about 20 minutes) over the wood to be encased in the epoxy. Also, getting rid of the bubbles before pouring by setting the mixing container on a coffee warmer or in a water bath heated to 125 degrees F. The heat gets rid of all the bubbles in about 5-10 minutes.

[@cristianpivato1202]

I don't have a bandsaw for doing the ornaments due to price & and space, but I did pick up a used scroll saw that I make a lot of little thinner ornaments with.

[@sherryleggett1612]

I am so jealous of your shop and I can’t image how you could make anything in it and still have it so clean. Thanks for the gift ideas. The headline that caught my eye was about the laser purchase. I think if I had seen it before I bought my first laser I may have thought twice. Right now I’m at the stage where it is assemble but not yet vented and i’m procrastinating learning Lightburn. Here it is September and I have no idea where to start to stock up for Christmas sales. As a fellow Canadian I had sticker shock as I was gathering up all the accessories and everything. Then there are the materials. I tried to place an order for some aluminum coloured sign blanks. I’m adding things to my cart that seemed to be reasonably priced and easy to engrave on the laser. The total was $280 which didn’t seem bad for the things I wanted. Sipping was free in the US but $183 to Canada. Then of course I needed to convert to US dollars so suddenly the price wasn’t so reasonable anymore.
