Interesting to look back at what you did in the early days of your business/channel. I think I subbed when you had around 400 subs, and you had the issues with the evolution mitre saw. You have certainly come a long way since then

What a great video. I'm a complete newbie. Literally started in November but I've been a brickie for 20 years so have a knowledge of roofing, angles, basic carpentry etc. Just went live selling 3 weeks ago and have had 14 orders (well pleased) some great ideas there, will pinch a few ! Didn't realise burning the wood weatherproofed it. Will do that on future birdboxes. Subbed a few weeks back. Great stuff mate thanks so much. Learning loads

@karlpopewoodcraft 1 more question pls. Is the scheppach that much better than the titan? I have mainly dewalt but the planer is uber expensive. Was looking at the titan planer thicknesser as the reviews seem OK. But I'd rather spend a couple hundred more if it's recommended? TIA

Been a cabinet maker myself for over 44 years I've specialized in making exspensive underground furniture most my working life. My work spends a short time above ground and a very long time below ground and is in most cemeteries around the country. I've never gone looking for work it's allway come my way as I make pre death solid hard wood coffins that most people buy before taking there last breath. I've made my own coffin used as a table till needed for it's true purpose calling it my end table. There's a fortune to be made in quility oak & ash coffins in the UK. Myself I've only every met another 2 true coffin makers in my life one the man who taught me the trade, bouth dead now resting in there own hand made coffins. Selling direct to the customer is highly profitable check out the market as it's served my self a great living while working with death. I've 20 months left before I emigrate and will hang up my tools for the last day sadly. A coffin is actually nothing more than a very exspensive strong box.

Got table saw thicknesser all sanding gear jigsaws etc looking at next tool for the shop am not hundred percent on what way to go. Looking going towards smalls chopping boards live edge tables potentially resin work aswell track saw or bandsaw next if so any recommendations. Wanna potentially be able resaw if a go bandsaw.

@@michaelwillson6847 hmmm if I had to choose between a bandsaw or track saw I'd go for a track saw all day, you can re saw on a table saw so that takes care of what the bandsaw does best to some extent, plus I think you need to spend a lot an a good bandsaw mine are both not the best at all. If I where to by a tracksaw again I'd not by the Dewalt I'd get the festool or possibly the new Milwaukee that looks the biz.

@@karlpopewoodcraft a see were your coming from dunno if a can stretch to festool not making that much yet but yea for the kinda resawing am thinking ad need sommit at the kinda 10" throat mark and they get kinda pricey. I'll need look into the Milwaukee one although American creator 731 woodwork has done a review on it not sure what he makes it yet haven't watched it yet need get to that. I'll let u no what way a go but think I'll probably follow your advice a did look at the lidal one few months ago but decided if am gonna do it seriously need stay away 🤔 Thanks though. 1 other thing good m8 mine could do with bump on KZbin mark from start making (woodworking) dunno if you can do him a shout out on a video would be greatly appreciated a no he would aswell. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍
