Been working with my dad who has taught me how to make furniture, the money i earned I have saved up, and used resources such as craigslist, local and online auctions, flea malls, local contacts and have been able to aquire pretty much everything I need to open my own shop, some of the things i did not skimp on was Miter saw, Table saw and a good surfacer/planer the rest are second hand. love your vids oi oi oi

[@loopinnerthe]

I am bingeing on your videos. This one was particularly fine with a kg bar of chocolate and 12 bottles of champagne; whilst surrounded by my huge pile of pallet blocks that I erected as an altar in celebration of your channel. The high priestess comes and turns a few of them over daily with the special chant of "do you really need all this junk?". Mark don't stop making your cracking content or I might have to go to rehab... Useful advice here about building any type of business.

[@glittalogik]

Thank you for the time estimates, and I wish more makers would include a task timer in the corner or something. 3 seconds of sanding footage is all well and good for narrative pacing, but the extra context does help us appreciate all the effort you're putting in offscreen... ...plus it was a rude shock the first time I finally took all that KZbin-inspo into my own backyard (live-edge camphor laurel slab desk for a friend) and realised that those 3 seconds were actually more like 2-4 hours of mindnumbing tedium babysitting the orbital 😅

[@thepigdogpigdog2770]

Mark, I... had an idea. Tie a binder clip to your dust collection hose a ways back from your power tool. Use the binder clip to lift the power cord and hold it off the work surface. This may require more than one binder clip depending on cord length and the source locations of power and dust collection but might be worth a try.

[@SuperBollus]

I am laughing at 2 things..."my saw shit itself" and "pull it out of my freckle". I hope the rest of the world understands this.🤣 As a kid i grew up on the Darling Downs. My Grandfather built a beautiful house by himself as well as being a smithy, so I got a taste for making stuff early. 30 years ago I managed a joinery on The Tablelands that had all the proper gear and when things were slow I would go out into the joinery (solid wood, none of that chipboard shit) and the boys would show me the tricks. Now I am in the land of the CrowEaters with no shed space other than a unit garage. My table saw is a sheet of melamine with a 180mm Makita turned upside down and a pretty dodgy fence set up. I do have a router table but apart from that it's "McGyveried" all the way. Made some pretty nice stuff for friends though but never been paid for my stuff. Recently told work what they could do so I started working with pallet wood which is a challenge but hey, that's what it's all about. Love your vids mate.
