HAPPY WOODWORKING DAVID!!!!!!!!!

[@tdogmoney1]

Wow, an actual DIY video without industrial grade saws, planers and other power tools. Very refreshing!

[@RusticDavid]

Thank you Tyler im Happy you like the video Take care David

[@MrSongwriter2]

Agree, here in the U.K. we don’t have harbour freight and we don’t have garages the same size in US so we’re in a back foot to start with. I’m discovering these problems trying to make a luthiers workbench

[@MAGAMAN]

If you think you can't build the same things they do, but with basic hand tools, you are an idiot. The only difference is that it takes longer. $500 thickness Planer = $ 50 Wood Plane off ebay $2000 Jointer = $50 wood plane off ebay $1000 Table saw = $20 hand saw $150 Router (because anything you buy for less is probably garbage) = $150 chisel set new or maybe more for vintage off of ebay (UK made Marples or US made vintage Stanley). A Drill. corded or cordless doesn't matter. As with anything, you buy cheap, you get cheap. While you can get a chisel set for under $20 brand new, it's going to be garbage that you will need to sharpen constantly because of the cheap chinese crap it's made out of. You will also need a good sharpening stone set and a good quality square. The funny thing is, the good wood workers with all the expensive power tools still have these hand tools too, because there are still things you simply cannot do easily with a standard power tool.

[@chnacr2]

@@MAGAMAN At first it looked like yet another comment by an American who can find A-10 Warthogs and Wärtsilä RT-flex96C container ship engines for $0.05 on e-bay and has enough extra garage space to store them . Lol. Yeah, beginners should learn fundamentals with time-tested hand tools. It's not worth losing fingers on a jointer or a table saw before they even learn to make their first simple box

[@regularfather4708]

I love that you intentionally used simple hand tools for folks who don't have fancy power tools, while still giving hints for those who do have power tools.

I am a new wood worker I like this bench I like the idea of knocking it together. I built a smaller version of it. One of the changes I made to make it easier for me to make is, instead of doing all the cutting on the support brace, I cut it straight and added on blocks to hold the seat. To add strength to these blocks I glued and dowel pin them in place. Thank you, I enjoy your videos stay healthy and have a great day.

[@regularfather4708]

Just made one of these to kill time on a very slow saturday. took less than 2 hours and I have an entire day to go! Edit: for folks making this using imperial units, approximate measurements as I used, are as follows: seat: 11.5" x 20" center support: 7" x 20" legs: 11.5" x 11.5" My board had cupped and subsequently began to split the legs when I was working on it, so I glued scrap pieces across the legs and clamped them down. works just fine.

You can certainly do good work with limited tools keep making furniture and your skills will improve fast. keep it within your capabilities as you improve try the next skill, time is important, decide on your daily rate and price work by daily rate plus materials and then add any relevant taxes that may exist . Make a plan for each project just a sketch understand how you will carry it out before you start working have to go good luck
