Starting Woodworking? These Hand Tools Are a Good Start!

[@ivanemilov522]

If you're broke student like me what's gonna do the trick is buying vintage, absolutely amazing tools after you spend some hours cleaning rust and sharpening

[@ared18t]

Buy a drill and a wire brush lol

[@Tocqueville2023]

Great subdued sense of humor. Indispensable, no doubt

ASMR and handtool woodworking, everything i need to be happy

[@rossmacandrews3728]

Love it. Not buying the cheapest tools is definitely Good advice. I spent too long struggling with cheap tools and it really was ruined my enthusiasm for woodworking and made me feel like I would never be good at it. I now am building my collection of quality tools (as quickly as my budget allows) and the difference is immense. I also have that same low angle jack plane, my first quality tool, I love it. I enjoyed this video.

[@Octavian-Dan]

Thanks! I think if you buy a good tool you appreciated it more and you are right, it makes the work so much more pleasant.

[@AlexG-jn1iw]

Is nobody going to mention the fact that he talked this time?... Anyone? I'm both surprised and excited!

[@Octavian-Dan]

Ha Ha, hearing your own voice is weird. Thanks for watching

[@ZakKarimjee]

I really liked it - he has a nice soothing voice and accent

[@geauxwave26]

@@Octavian-Dan Yes, it's always weird to hear one's own voice. However, from an outsider's perspective, I think you have a nice, soothing voice that matches your choice of background music. Your English is excellent, and the voice-over sound quality is great too. Please continue to do videos like this.

[@raghavanv9977]

+respect . A video that's honest and soothing to the eyes. Thank you. A new fan from India.

[@coreygrua3271]

Practical and realistic. You’re right about Cosman.

[@matamoros1965]

Thanks!

[@Octavian-Dan]

Thank you!

[@ThePhotographicEye]

Been toying with the idea of doing some woodworking again (haven't since highschool). Great video.

[@johnbold7965]

Thank you for this video, it is refreshing. No big tools, it's all about woodworking with simple but good tools. In my case I discovered you 3 weeks ago and you gave me the taste of simplicity for the realization of beautiful works, thank you.

[@Octavian-Dan]

Thanks, makes all the difference when someone gets a little inspired by these videos.

[@justinsane332]

I recommend the narex richter chisels. they are affordable, but great quality. take very little prep, and hold an edge as well as anything else ive used. start with the quarter or half inch, and buy as needed to get the sizes you require. I have the cheaper narex, they are great as well, especially for the price, but the feel of the richters are worth a few extra bucks.

[@wayward-saint]

You got good advice a great aesthetic. Please make more project and technique videos.

[@sunjayjay240]

Very good congratulations from srilanka

[@-Juba-]

Excellent video.

[@connertoennis1028]

Great video! Underrated channel for sure

[@ManMang0]

Thank you, another inspiring video to help me on my way :)

[@luisarodriguez9413]

Appreciate you being concise. In my opinion, speaking up is a good idea for further videos (it could be my laptop speakers but,) at maximum volume level I was having a hard time hearing your thorough explanation. Thanks for taking the time to share :)

[@YOUR_NARRATOR975]

I'm getting a coping saw, combination square, miter box (I suck with a saw), and a japanese crosscut/rip saw for $80 Thanks to Amazon and black Friday.

[@mikey_r]

Plasters - I need them every time 👍

[@Nick-ye8pf]

Fantastic video!!!

[@anescimpo90]

Sehr schön.. Danke

[@royalewithcheese9257]

Can I make a 12ft dresser with just these tools

[@Octavian-Dan]

Probably, that would be something :)

[@jankokuu]

Im 3 years late here but how well do those narex premium chisels performing? I have thinking about getting a set.

[@Octavian-Dan]

For the price they are ok, they don't hold an edge very long. If you are using them once in a while they are fine., if you are using them more often they will drive you crazy on how fast they become blunt.

[@darthschumy]

Great video and I'll have to check out more of your uploads. Incidently, Juuma planes are sold across the world but with different brand names. There are slight differences with each brand label, but they are only trivial in nature and not worth worrying about. "Luban" is what they're called in Australia, "Juuma" is the nomenclature in Germany, in Britain they're described as "Quansheng" and in North America they're known as "Woodriver". I have an extraordinary # of these planes, that I have bought from across the world and they are all indeed the same manufacturer/planes. They are a true rival to that of Veritas and Lie Nielsen planes, but sold at an astounding fraction of the price, but this is steadily changing now, as people realize the genuine value and quality of their items. In many respects and in key areas Juuma is a vastly better product. For example: Juuma/Quansheng/Luban etc., use sharper and proper tool steel for their blades, instead of a duller A2 steel or a fake cryogenic hardening method. When you think about it; freezing something doesn't change it - hence why you keep food in a fridge. Hardening steel requires vast amounts of heat/energy to change it and then rapidly drop that energy level to produce a result (although the dropped temp is still insanely high). You don't get a hardened tool steel from a freezer (which takes the energy/heat out of something, preventing it from changing), but both Lie Nielsen and Veritas falsely claim you can - which makes one question their reputation and even the quality of their products. Once you realize they are deliberately deceiving customers with marketing, you then have to ask, why can't they sell items on their own potential benefit? Fake marketing can tell you so much about a company and their integrity.

Lovely video, your videos are truly inspiring, and I love your color grading! In the tool list, is the waterstone supposed to be 1200 grit, instead of 12000 grit? The finest I'm finding available is 8000 grit.

[@houndogjr4290]

Start the joiney 👀

[@androidgameplays4every13]

How did you bore the holes on your workbench? did you chamfer these holes with a router?

[@Octavian-Dan]

Made the holes with a Jaw Brace with a 19mm auger bit.

[@nikzel]

Hey, I have a luban block plane and thinking of buying a second larger one like the one you showcased. Did you order yours from AliExpress?

[@janee7995]

Have my eyes set on a veritas 62 Yes it's €100 more expensive but it also has some accessories that other brands don't offer. For this it's worth the extra money. The marking gauge I made myself Using a video with the name : kobiki or kebiki Chissels I got the bahco 434 set Saw : sharksaw with western (removable) grip 9,14,19 tpi

[@linkert810]

I see you also browse DS fine-tools ;) Lovely channel you got here!

[@rcbprk]

Hi Dan, I've really enjoyed your videos thus far, the style of them is very accessible, honest and relaxing. As someone getting into woodworking for the same reasons you mention, it is really great to see first-hand, accessible advice from someone who clearly loves what they do (and that doesn't have giant machines screaming away in a 'small' barn-sized workshop!). I'm looking forward to seeing what you have coming up next. Quick question on your small rebate plane. Is there a reason you chose that style over a typical low angle block plane? My guess would be its versatility.

[@Octavian-Dan]

Always happy to hear that someone finds some value in my videos. You are right about the block plane, I choose that style for versatility. I think is a great plane but because I used it quite often sometimes I put my fingers on the corner of the exposed blade, small knicks nothing serious.

[@AndreiIR000]

Excelent!

[@Octavian-Dan]

Mersi!

[@StuartAylward]

Great video. I'm interested to know which planing stop you have installed on the end vise? I made myself a similar bench (actually inspired by yours!) Although my vise is a Record 52D quick release with a dog, it's fiddly and I like what you have there!

[@Octavian-Dan]

I think is called Retractable Bench Hook, it might be Veritas but I am not sure

[@zmanchris]

Could you leave some links to the tools you use?

[@Octavian-Dan]

There is a tool list in the description of the video. I didn`t add the brand to each tool because there are different people with different budgets.
