you don't need the fancy youtube gear

[@paulocruz2723]

Your limit is not your tools. Your limit is not others. Your limit is YOU! Another good video. Thanks a lot.

[@cooperised]

Mostly true! But although it's true that "a bad workman blames his tools," a good workman tends to have decent ones. 😁 It's amazing what a master craftsman can make with low quality tools and materials, but the rest of us do benefit from the help of some good equipment.

[@TheOfficialOriginalChad]

@@cooperisedwell said. In a skill where you’re always learning, time matters. Tools are time savers. You can do almost all woodworking with a chisel, hammer, and drill bit. It just takes 12 lifetimes to figure out how.

[@mm9773]

No no, my tools are a limit. I’ve been planning to build a table for ages now, but I can’t find the time or motivation to hand plane over 20 pieces of wood. It’ll happen at some point, but I have other things to do, and with a jointer/thicknesser the table would already be done. That’s just how it is.

[@paulocruz2723]

@@mm9773 same tools to diferent workers with freedom to creat Will give diferent works and pieces... You are the Key in the creation not the tools

[@cooperised]

@@paulocruz2723 But putting different tools in the hands of the same worker will also change the creative outcome. The process involves both the creator and the tools.

[@WhitespaceProps]

A lot of great tools I wish I had. I usually work with 3d printed plastic and not wood for my project, but for those few projects around the home these would be very welcome!

[@Bettys_Eldest]

Love the box, I still have the one my woodcutting machinist dad made for my set of dominos one Christmas nearly sixty years ago.

[@TheFilleryd]

When using different rulers/measurimg tapes etc. it's good to not switch between to many in the same project. Even if they should be accurate there is still some difference in them. More noticeable on bigger scale projects than small things. So keep it simple with one for big measurements and one for the small details.

[@BarreiraLuis]

Regarding your planer, there are already some solutions on the market to customize the helical heads for your specific machine. You'll feel like you have a new machine without actually having to buy another one, as this is one of the topics of the video.

[@TheSwedishMaker]

Thats great! I will look into it. Thanks!

[@Shorrey]

Cannot agree only with the drill press. I have the same one, using it a lot. I don't have many of those things you mentioned as "using a lot", but I am not as advanced in this craft yet, so let's see. And thanks for cool ideas, like milliput!

[@TheSwedishMaker]

Thanks! The drill press is really good. I think I will probably use it more in the future

[@Shorrey]

Talking about this milliput. Do you know if it is safe for CNC it? I mean, would it destroy the bit?

[@makersven]

Just to point out 😁 regular non-digital caliper works just fine as well. It will take some time to master instant reading (without thinking) of measures but, it works every time :) I'm doing some metalworks and welding splashes and metal dust quickly damages digital ones.

[@pjforde1978]

There are times when accurately knowing if something is 14.92mm or 14.98 is really important. You'd have to pry my Mitutoyo from my dead hands.

[@groovexmedia]

Hej Pierre, great video again. One request: please make the b-roll of the finished product longer - it is too beautiful to just see a few short shots. ❤️

[@TheSwedishMaker]

Thanks! Will do for the next one :)

[@mm9773]

Doesn’t really matter how long it is, but it’s nice to see a few angles so you can pause the video and have a good look at the finished piece.

[@jksaarinen]

Just a note that not everyone has big enough place for table CNCs, router tables, planers and so forth. Which makes Shaper a very nice option as you can do a lot with it in smaller shops.

[@loostling]

Testa mikrovågsugnen istället. Då Värms biten även från insidan och det gör att värmen blir jämna fördelad över det minskar risken för skevhet och sprickor 👍🏻🤗

[@tenchuu007]

The Milliput doesn't crack when it eventually fully dries? I'd think the slight flex in the box would potentially create cracking issues.

[@jacobstrand1]

So many good tips and tricks in this one Pierre! Great!

[@mm9773]

As far as I can tell (relying on comments made by professionals), the defining factor of a jointer/thicknesser is the overall build quality, not if the head pattern is helical, spiral or straight. In other words, unless you have all the moneys, you might want to compromise on the surface quality and instead make sure you get a machine that makes your material square, straight and parallel.

[@pjforde1978]

Yes, cast iron is always better than lesser table surfaces... but the difference between helical and straight knives is night and day. Not only will the end result be noticably smoother with less cut out, but the machine itself will be about 40% quieter. Plus, if a blade gets damaged, you just rotate that node by 90 degrees instead of needing to replace the whole knife set. Over time, this makes the true cost of ownership far lower.

[@HuntersOA]

I have a similar relationship with my K40 CO2 laser. I bought it when my son was born - in the same month. So it's been with me for 3 years. I can count on my 2 hands the number of times I used it.... I love it, but I find it a hassle compared to my 3D printers and alternative things.

[@pjforde1978]

As far as investments go, between the two you're still ahead with the laser.

[@Viewer53590]

Nice to see another person that started woodworking as an excuse for their tool addiction😂

[@TheSwedishMaker]

You and me both!

[@mm9773]

9:14 This is very good advice. I keep a bunch of wish lists: during Black Friday, Prime Day, whatever, I just go through my lists and see if any of the items are particularly cheap. Other than that, I might search for certain brands I like, but I usually try to stay away from the madness.

[@mm9773]

P.S. Makita saw guides are never on sale.

[@Mr2at]

I don’t use my shaper as much as I thought I would, but still pleased I’ve got it.

[@tektrixter]

Bamboo Labs has a good pre- black friday sale going. I'm hoping to be able to budget for one.

[@TheSwedishMaker]

yes they do - really good prices right now

[@daflump6358]

A cheap digital caliper is as good as a ruler but easier. A proper decent one is a proper actual tool. It makes life easier. For anybody looking its worth picking one with a depth gauge on the end. Ebay cheapies dont.

[@tommyfox4444444]

Hej, Intresting video, thanks. Where did you get the tip for the dewalt brad nailer? it looks better than the standard. Also when the gun is running out of nails do you find you can put a new strip of them in behind the last few remaining? mine always then gets clogged and i have to open it and throw those nails away and use only the new stip.

[@TheSwedishMaker]

The clogging doesnt happen, but it stops shooting when there are only two nails left and needs refilling. It's a good one

[@TheSwedishMaker]

I know! I should

[@pjforde1978]

I am in the market for a chisel set, and so I was excited to see your Narex recommendation. However, either you were being impressively dry when you said "affordable" or it's possible that they are showing up insanely expensive in my local market (Canada). $360+tax (roughly USD$300) seems like a lot. Are these part of a higher tier that cannot be obtained with mortal brands like Irwin and Dewalt? I'm open to being convinced, but I don't want to pay a sucker tax.

[@TheSwedishMaker]

They are almost half the price compared to that here in Sweden so that was a lot

[@pjforde1978]

@@TheSwedishMakerby which you mean twice as much or half as much? An important distinction! Surely you didn’t pay $600 for a product from within Europe

Good morning 🌅, Very nice box, you must of been playing the joker 🤡, card , when I purchased a tool, whether it was £10 or £ £15,000, I would make sure it paid for itself less than a year, Or in the case of something £10, probably even a day, When needs must, I still have my Mafell door lock machine, that payed for it self in less than a month, I had 10 doors to make, with machine I could machine the holes for a euro lock in less than five minutes, I started off with a similar planner to your, but about 20 years ago I purchased a SCM Classic Planer and thickness separate, a very good purchase, how is your work shop coming along, if you have not got it all ready snow ⛄️ it is on its way, Stay safe, from France

Can I make a suggestion for a “challenge”…can you make a video where you create a project ONLY using your…🤔…top 5 least used tools (for example). When I say ONLY I should probably specify that I’ll allow 😂 you to use your main tools to get your materials properly prepared and maybe 10% use of your top used tools such as table saw to section off your materials if needed…I’m not that mean to say NO main tools 😂. I already enjoy your videos and It just popped in to my head shortly after watching your video that it could be a creative way to find a use case that’s ideal for your lesser used tools and the ad revenue will help you “justify” the money you have already spent….maybe 😂
