Great video Josh, but you really need a zero clearance insert for your table saw..... I kept thinking one of those small pieces were going to go flying toward you! Subbed.

[@JoshWrightWoodworking]

@@brucewilliamsstudio4932 thank you! This is an older video and if I could go back in time, I would make alot of changes regarding saftey😬. If you watch any of my newer videos I am much better at using zero clearance plates and other safety features. Thank you for your concern and for watching!

[@brucewilliamsstudio4932]

@@JoshWrightWoodworking Thanks Josh..... nobody likes the safety police and everyone has a right to their own way of doing things. I can see that you will go a very long ways in this craft and I look forward to seeing more of your work. Quick question..... how did you get so much working space? My wife hates it when I take over the garage for any period of time and I don't have any other options.

Fantastic Video, Well done. Amazing & Innovative Projects! Wow! I've been using a table saw for a very long time... I'm a tradesman, and I'm definitely not a Safety Nerd. After a few rare, but exciting incidents, in my shop many years ago... I realized I wasn't smart, I was simply just very lucky... About fifteen years ago, I opted to prioritize safety my home shop. Today, I'm much safer, and I still enjoy my home workshop, and I can still count to Ten! :-) Josh, I'm now both an avid fan and new subscriber. I truly plan to watch many of your other great videos. You are a very smart fellow... I love the Barrell & much more! With all politeness and respect: I cringed many times when you made a cuts.

[@WilliesDET]

Awesome effort man. I think there is something to be said about some of the more egregious safety concerns, but overall, I love what you're doing.

I was having a hard time following the cuts for the three display boxes. you have them listed anywhere?

[@JoshWrightWoodworking]

@@Yggdr4s1l sorry, I dont have a cut list but if you can tell me specifically which measurements you are confused on I can help you

[@moondog26]

What impresses me most about your work, aside from the excellent table saw skills, is your ability to limit the wasted wood. I’d love to see a video on how you come up with the designs for your projects. Good stuff man!

[@fredericdescamps1393]

you forget that he slaughters two by six planed and sanded boards to do such small things, not that well!

[@scottydrake3922]

Excellent table saw skills??? Are you kidding me? He crosscut a 2x6 without a miter gauge! He has NO IDEA what he's doing!!! And if you follow his example, we'll soon be calling you "Lefty."

[@johnblack9582]

@@scottydrake3922 look at what he's doing f00l, he makes intricate cuts that f00ls like you wouldn't be able to do because you are to anal about safety rules, safety is important, but this guy is an expert, and i gaurantee, he is safer than you would ever be.

[@kathylauwagie3177]

As someone who has had 3 ER visits after trying to be careful I agree with Brian some safety measures are in order. Invest in a Gripper and a zero clearance insert. I cringed every time I saw those thin pieces sneak down the insert plate. Don't reach over the blade to grab a cut off, that was one of my ER visits.

[@PobzebArmerding]

Actually, magically at just after 24 minutes into the video he does have a zero clearance insert! I wonder why it wasn’t there the whole time?

[@woody1380]

As a person who hasn't used a table saw I need to know, if these safety devices are essential why aren't they supplied as standard by saw manufacturers? I am thinking of buying a saw but would never have know I need these extras.

[@TXstang347]

@@woody1380 The more money you spend the more "features" they offer. Dewalt is a good saw, but that's a contractor saw which is intended for construction, ripping 2x4s etc. He does a lot of risky stuff on the saw. You can tell he's never had a close call yet. Interesting that he wears ear, eye, nose protection, but plays it loose with the saw lol. Search for table saw safety and watch those videos. Even expensive saws don't come with everything you make like. Also, be aware of kickback and how to prevent it.

[@melissawf]

@@woody1380 Wood magazine channel has an excellent video that introduces the machines you might use in a shop and goes over the risks and safety. It’s a little over an hour long.

[@jimclark6256]

A comment, show your finished project first. And then the step by step assembly. Great video. Wife will love these.

[@minutemadeinc]

@@bearhall4919 can't see the thumbnail while watching the video. It's nice to see before the project what it is.

Wow! You are a 2x6 genius! I mean all of that is amazing to have created from a 2x6!

[@paul-ld9vh]

Those are really nice projects! It's nice to see using every tool and engineering an idea to make a really nice gift out of a common wood. Great video and thanks for posting it.

[@WaterN2WineCreations]

Josh, you are very talented. You have extremely good spatial reasoning. It is true artistry when you can see it in your mind before you make the first cut, then you just seem to know how to cut and assemble to make it a reality! Bravo young man!

[@Syrkyth]

Just a suggestion, since i don't see a dust collector: Invest in an air compressor with nozzle to clear out the collected dust and shavings in your tools. You can pick them up used for a fairly reasonable price. Now that I think about it, I think Matthias Wandel has videos for a few varieties that you could make for yourself, your skills certainly seem up to the challenge. Aside from keeping the shop "tidy" it also keeps your tools from overheating (clogged air flow), breaking down (gunking up moving parts can lead to wobble, jammed bearings and increasingly inaccurate cuts), rust - dust is a moisture magnet and is a safer work space too. I had a teacher lose most of his pinky when he was batching out a bunch of parts for a student project but didn't turn on the dust collector (in a hurry likely - teachers get too little prep time for practical related classes, unless they take their own -unpaid- time). Dipped his pinky into the blade of the jointer when the piece slicked through the dust faster than it should have. Heh, sorry, lecture over. I loved the barrel idea. Hmm. Great ideas and keep up the work!

[@wetspotswimwear1199]

How about the fact that dust is HIGHLY FLAMMABLE

[@annodnostaw9971]

Saw dust IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE, especially if gets in your wall electrical outlets and you plug something in and causes a spark. Brother's Texas high school woodworking shop went up in flames back in the 80's. Cause was the saw dust in outlets due to inefficient dust collection system.

[@squarelevelplumb]

shop vacs are cheap and close the circuit breaker door, after you blow it out

[@johnthompson3462]

Excellent video.great work.I am nearly 70 and been woodworking for over 50 years,but learned some useful and clever tricks from you. Love that you used common sense and good thinking over a multitude of safety equipment.

[@christiantherunnerup9905]

Your projects are awesome. Didn't realize the barrel was going to be a functional wine barrel. Mind blown

[@jimmylovesbikes]

Wow. You are a young and very accomplished woodworker!!! Amazing builds from a 2x6.

[@PeeVee1979]

I see a great future for you with woodworking, really cool ideas and executions. It's always great to see young kids getting into woodworking. That barrel looks really nice, I might just steal that idea for myself at some point. But just like many others mentioned, I'd pay a hell of a lot more attention when working with table saw. It doesn't take much for a kickback when crosscutting against the fence. The very least you could do is use a riving knife. But yeah, keep going, I for sure will keep watching what you come up with next!

[@tonym2328]

There is a roving knife on that saw…

[@PeeVee1979]

@@tonym2328 At first but not the whole time.

[@waynewalton2299]

cant believe you still have all your fingers, smashed the end of mine from kick back!!!!!

[@DURTHumor]

I made the same comment on another of his videos.

[@layneinchains4047]

Great great work bro... but Jesus you’re young... you’re gonna want those fingers for a while!!! Cmon bro! And kickback is real! Be a little careful man... and dust collection! Damn I feel like an old man lol

[@bradbaber1047]

I agree! Those cross cuts of the 2x6 on the table saw are cringe worthy...keep that up and one day you'll be missing a finger or two. Use your skills to build a crosscut sled while you have 10 fingers to do it with!!!

[@andy31487]

i was going to say the same thing awesome video ..but those cuts made me hold my breath....all it takes is one quick look away or slip and you wont be giving high fives anymore

[@thomasarussellsr]

At least appreciate that part way through this video a zero clearence insert appeared on the table saw with all of those thin cuts. That had me woried too. The piece diving down into the mouth of the tablesaw wouldn't be safe either.

[@simonem.3092]

I’m a total beginner and i recognized the dangerous habits there. I hope he takes the advice to heart. Appreciate anyone who is willing to open themselves up to critique though by making videos like this. Safety first!

[@TopshelfEnglish]

I agree with everything said here, but just so you don't think people are piling on, kudos for using a dusk mask. (And a good one at that!) A lot of woodworkers overlook that particular aspect of shop safety equipment.

[@aidensaari3957]

This is amazing! 5 gifts out of a single 2x6!?! You always seem to impress me

[@julichambers9499]

Hats off to you kid, apart from an obvious aversion to all things vacuum related, those are some really good projects. I particularly like the barrel one, (for a minute I didn't think you were gunna get that bag of wine in there tho! ) Very well done, but please take heed of all our safety concerns.

[@Ghost6466]

It' good to see what a real workshop looks like. A little sawdust everywhere, not pristine all the time. LOL Thanks for the video!

[@MikeTheSith200]

Real shops at the very least blows the sawdust off the tools. Especially build up at the blade. Still an awesome video

[@simonem.3092]

Credit to you for reading all the comments including the criticisms. Some were written with love and some not. The notters can be ignored. I wouldn’t acknowledge, defend, explain or respond. You are young it is true. Everyone including me will want to jump in and be extra parents, mentors, brothers and grandpas. That is community. You are full of talent and clearly you are a hard worker and smart to boot. We all have areas where we can improve. Working cleaner is safer. And safety will keep the shop blood free-see? Cleaner. They go hand in hand. 😁 It is so exciting to see you capable of so many different techniques. You must wake up with ideas and projects that you can’t wait to implement! Stay humble. Stay open minded. And stay in one piece! Ignore the notters. 💜

[@myfinalheaven9590]

These are pretty neat. Excellent workmanship.

[@Rick-Williams59]

More young folks like you should do something like this, then they wouldn't have time to get into trouble. Great video young man.

[@JPBrooksLive]

Yeah if only every kid had tens of thousands of dollars in woodworking equipment and a giant shop (obviously on sizable property that they own) and very probably somebody with the time and know-how to be able to teach him, there would definitely be less kids in trouble lol. Recognize privilege when you see it, as well as talent.

I agree, very little waste. Not really even enough to build a small fire with. This young man isn't likely to have a scrap pile to pick through for small projects. (Unless he wants to whittle some toothpicks or popcicle sticks). Ha ha ha!

[@stevecook6505]

[@toddozaki3318]

Great stuff. Very creative.

[@gtwolfe100]

Have to add my voice to a few others below. I really appreciate projects like the barrel being so thoroughly demonstrated so I can duplicate it and not have to work out any of the settings. That said, the practice of cross cutting 2x4s or 2x6 on a table saw pinched against the fence when you clearly have a miter saw available for that purpose just scares the living stuff out of me. If you didn't have a miter saw I could understand it but not when a vastly safer tool is right there. I run a custom commercial furniture shop (reception stations, conference tables, etc.) so I know you can do precise dimensional repeated cuts on that miter saw. Other than that, really nice videos.

[@fredericdescamps1393]

Dear young man, the quality, finish and safety of your work is up to the maintenance of your equipment and the cleanliness of your tools and your workshop, too bad because it seems that you have equipment that many craftsmen would envy you because expensive to my taste for a young goujat like you. I give you the score of 8/20 and I am generous!

[@bigrig0625]

Get off your high horse! I give your comment a 2 out of 50, and I'm being generous
