"That's pretty cool, I can use that"- Describes every tool purchase of my life.

[@crouffer]

I love the ending: "I can't help a poor attitude. Good luck though." I like the tip about time blocking things. I started writing down the time I go into the shop, and what I want to get done in that block of time. It's surprising how rarely I get everything done. Things take a lot more time than you expect.

[@keithkolbo2735]

I didn't follow the "buy when you need" instructions. The result is I became a tool collector. The reality is I found I enjoyed researching and buying tools.

[@keats182]

For beginner projects, I like boxes. Whether it's a jewelry box or keepsake box, they're all good. They're small so they're less intimidating and cheaper than a large bookcase. You can experiment with joinery and design. You also might be able to afford different exotic woods to get some experience with those. Finally, you can make them as simple or complex as you wish.

[@wut255]

After watching this video I realized I need to buy a trailer to haul lumber with my Forester. Snapping plywood in half, out of frustration, in the HomeDepot parking lot gets old quick. Thanks Scott.

[@asbrand]

Every project I create I first draw up in SketchUp. This allows me to make MOST of my mistakes for "free", long before I ever cut the first board. Great tip, sir!

[@Arbbal]

Maybe I’m old school, but graph paper and a ruler. I draw front, left side, and top. Using dashes for lines hidden by a solid piece.

[@asbrand]

@@Arbbal - and so long as you actually have your measurements right, that'll work. Nice thing about doing it in SketchUp, I can create each board individually, and make sure everything does fit, or even just create a board between two others already in place, and not have to know ahead of time its measurements...just make sure it fits, and now I have measurements for it. I can assemble the project in 3d, spin it around to make sure everything fits right, etc.

[@Arbbal]

@@asbrand That’s why the graph paper. Each square is 1/4, 1/2, 1 inch, whatever I need for what I’m making. Making something seven feet long, each square is an inch. Bird house maybe got with 1/4. Draw over all dimensions then add parts. How long is the shelf inside that section? Count the squares.

[@asbrand]

@@Arbbal - if that's what works for ya, go for it. :) I can just do it so much faster in SketchUp.

[@ignacymat]

@@asbrand i left adobe-related work for woodworking and sketching everything in 3d is counter intuitive. you spend more time in front of your computer to spend less time in the woodshop doing wood stuff.

[@russellterry8671]

Brilliant tips Scott. Have been woodworking for fifty years and still fall into some of the traps you mentioned, especially buying too many tools and taking on too many jobs for friends and family. With regards to tool purchases, I now only buy them when needed for a project and only when I think that I will use them again. Has alleviated my addiction somewhat, except for hand planes! Bonus is that you can always justify tool purchases if they save you money on tradies.

[@wrongtown]

Hand plane addiction is a real problem 👊😔

[@lilolmecj]

I cannot seem to learn how to properly use hand planes. If I ever do, I am in luck, we bought a whole woodshop of tools, and there were at least 20 included.

[@wrongtown]

@@lilolmecj it's not a particularly complicated art, I'd suggest if you're having trouble they probably need sharpening?

[@lilolmecj]

@@wrongtown could be, I seem to not get the blade perfectly straight, which leads to gouging. I could sharpen a few of them and see if I get better results. . And I need to just practice, I generally just want to do something, but sometimes I need to be willing to put in enough time to learn.

[@wrongtown]

@@lilolmecj when was getting started someone suggested a working a camber into each side of the plane iron to help avoid digging a sharp corner into the workpiece and that worked really well for me. Good luck!

[@disklamer]

Entertaining stuff and true to boot. Also consider that the “obvious” tool might not be the one you need, think about the process you want to do and then decide which tool suits it best (tablesaw vs tracksaw, bandsaw vs scrollsaw...). When in doubt, go for cordless tools, they will always find good use.

[@Pete_76]

I wish I had seen this video last year, when I said ‘yes’ to building a topbar beehive AND a cupboard out of reclaimed 125 year old pine that’s full of nails. I will definitely take this advise from now on. Thanks again, Scott!

[@ScottWalshWoodworking]

Thanks for watching Pete! I have had my share of lessons using 'reclaimed' wood (meaning wood I've found on the side of the road). I hit a screw and wrecked a whole set of knives for my planer. I decided then and there that buying lumber isn't such a bad deal at all.

[@boydmerriman]

First clean the nails and wood, THEN decide what you want to build with whats left of the wood as you would probably decide that most of that wood is not worth the clean up. While cleaning up nails out of wood, you get more intimate with the wood itself and you can clearly see what can be used.

[@jimmurphy5739]

Thoroughly enjoyed this vid! Cheaping out on wood? Guilty. That's why my super thick hardwood woodworking bench with the clamp dog holes and fancy vices is still a pile of salvaged oak hardwood flooring strips on my garage's floor.

Tip #6 Join your local makers space. They have good tools that are already set up. People around to increase your knowledge base and often a tool leading library so it's worth it even if you have your own shop.

[@FrozenMadLad]

I just designed and in the middle of building a coop. The only part I had to really sketch out and fully design was the roof. I'm not sure if it's already a technique (probably), but on the sides, I put a couple of truss guides (basic 2x3s with notches cut out to place trusses, with equivalent cuts at the bottom corners of the trusses. They look a lot like a barn stall roof, with vents between the truss end and the wall. That's when I realized that I made a bit of a mistake - I want the coop to be slightly vented, but also to be insulated. It's an easily remedied mistake though - I'm just going to use some plywood (same as the siding) to patch it up. It's a very basic coop - most of the materials are construction lumber - some 4x4 posts for the base and corner posts. Some 2x4's to top and tie together the corner posts. 2x3s for the trim (at bottom between posts, flush with the wall, to be able to put siding on easier), and some 2x3s for the studs, with some small notches cut out to fit with the trim. These are intentionally not flush with the trim, to give space to add insulation and an extra layer of inner plywood siding. The siding is just some standard plywood. I didn't sand any of it before staining b/c that's just the look I'm going for. The only part I will actually sand down will be the trusses, just for the look, before staining. On top of that, I have some painted aluminum from a damaged shed I got for very cheap from TCS, so I'll be adding that to the outside to help against the elements. It's either going to come out really ugly, or really nice 😆 🤣

Brad, my late father was a cabinetmaker... much to his disappointment, none of his 9 children followed in his footsteps... until now, at the ripe old age of 60y.o. I, a machinist by trade, decided to pay homage to him and start doing the wood thing... better late than never I guess... 🙄😂 Using hand tools is definitely not my forte and being a metalworker, using machinery to "get there" is second nature to me... where my dad would have no problem with hand-cut dovetails or fancy inlay, I reach for the router... 😉 But I enjoy it... & I think of him often whilst I do it... Having no children of my own to pass on my skills (and my tools) saddens me sometimes... but it is what it is.. If your son decides its not for him, don't lose heart... count your blessings and spend time with him doing what HE wants to do... time is so much shorter than we realise... bless you and your family, sir.

Good tips Scott, and not just for beginners! The only tool I have ever bought and not used is a Dremel type tool. Why have I not used it? It comes in a cardboard box with maybe 100 tools in a plastic bag. If I open it up they are going to go everywhere, and I'll never get it all back in the box! I'm gonna make a case for it with proper storage. Then I'll be able to use it!

Just found your channel, excellent info. I am brand new woodworker with limited hand & electric hand tools, your description at 2:38 of going to big box store to get construction lumber and the results was hilarious and spot on. On my couple completed basic projects I really struggled with crappy wood, crappy skills and results showed. With limited space, I am not sure if first purchase should be tool to get boards straight, like planer or jointer or track saw to cut straight.

[@Techreux]

Not too bad for a starter/beginner list. 3 big Game changers for better and faster production for me were: a Biesmeyer Fence, air nailers/staplers, and a router table (1991). Agree that everyone that builds should draw their plans (especially the cut plans for panels) in CAD FIRST. Not only do you end up producing better looking and more precision items, and you will have to look at joints you will use, how things fit together, and reconcile spatial issues (like will that handmade tool box had your tools), and for me, the whole CAD process made my job mistakes virtually disappear. CAD also gives you a better way to do time estimates. Point is, making and catching mistakes on screen and paper is a whole lot less frustrating, and once you get fast enough with the CAD, you won't even notice the extra time spent anymore. Waste from mistakes due to bad planning disappears, as well as calculated measurements crudely done on a hand sketch, IMO. Take my advice with a grain of salt if you do lots of lumber planing and truing up. BTW, I'm probably the worst offender when it comes to trying to use bad wood.. can't bring myself to toss pieces - when I should.. Thanks!

As for the tool comment. It is easy to get into buying that next tool. What I find is an issue is that I am looking to do something and buy a tool, but the tool doesn't perform the way I would like it to perform. So it sits. I have a couple of those. As I figure out what techniques work for me, there will be a number of unfortunate poor tool choices along the way. Also, when you buy the tool, generally don't cheap it out. A bad tool will sit and then you will buy another to replace it.

My old Cabinetry Instructor would lose his shit whenever he saw people laying their hand planes on the blade rather than the edge sole.

[@ScottWalshWoodworking]

I'm not really sure where this old advise came from, but I can't imagine laying a plane down would dull the blade. maybe if I slammed it down on another tool, yeah that wouldn't be good. But laying it on its side poses a greater risk of throwing the lateral adjustment off in my opinion.

[@nehocdrofsnop]

​@@ScottWalshWoodworking Yeah that's fair, I have in fact given myself a gnarly cut on my arm after bumping it up against the exposed blade, but leaving the plane on its side has because force of habit. If I recall correctly, my instructors explanation was always as follows: You risk denting the blade on any exposed fasteners or dulling the blade on any glue build up. Has never never happened to me or any of my peers, but I suppose it could happen.

I paid like $25 for it, and it's come in handy several times. Another is a cheap angle grinder I bought, again, for something like $25.

yeah, i so want this Makita battery angle grinder with batteries and recharger for 300 bucks ... but all i need it for is so get an angle on some T bolts for my workbench clamps ... i could do this also with a file for 5 Bucks in 2 minutes. Damn hard to justify 300 bucks for that
