Tools to Get You Started With Home Projects| Mai’s Guide To DIYS #1

[@angelaa5313]

Hi Mailey ! Thank you for this series! It's great to have a such a channel that explains these things clairly. I love DIYs but I never know what tools I should have or how to build what I'm imagining. I've tried some of your DIYs already and I'm looking forward to learning more! And I congratulate you for your partnership with Kreg!

[@MaileyElaine]

Oh perfect this is going to be the series for you! I'm going to try and put together videos on how to design and build your plan. Thanks so much and thanks so much for watching!

[@alexandra_sa_lazer]

I’m an experienced DIYer and grew up around tools since my dad is a builder. This video stands above others as you make all the important points. I love your including the sewing machine and this being the channel where they meet! One tiny point about jigsaws: make sure you get RECIPROCATING jigsaw. They are slightly more expensive but allow for far more accurate cuts. One last thought: you are on your way 💕 I’ve been a longtime fan and it’s always amazed me your channel isn’t bigger. Thank you, Kreg for putting my girl out there!

[@MaileyElaine]

Oh that's such a good point I need to check if my is reciprocating I think it is. and you know me I always gotta bring my sewing machine in when I can! 🥰 Thanks sooo much for watching and all the support it really means so much to me! 🥰

[@debbiemoreton2372]

Congrats on the Kreg partnership! Well deserved!!

[@MaileyElaine]

[@charlottetessore124]

[@MaileyElaine]

Yah. - FIRST, FIRST, FIRST!!!! I am so excited. I do some DIY but have never learnt from anyone. I want to know the right way to do things. Thank you so much for doing this episode. straight cuts - yahhhhh!!! I can honestly say - I HAVE EVERY TOOL that you have spoken about today. Do I use them all???? NO - this is why I want to learn. My most recent tool was the electric staple/nail gun. I used the staples for reupholstering my sofa, but I have not used the nail gun yet.

[@MaileyElaine]

Oh amazing you have all these tools... You can do sooo many projects! Oh an electric staple gun you can do so many upholstery projects. thanks so much for watching and all the support!

[@janainabalioti1891]

Wow, this video is incredible! Thank you so much for sharing it with us. I'm looking to boost my DIY projects, and this video couldn't have come at a better time. For everyone who (like me😅) didn't know about all these tools, here's an easy list of them: 1 - Circular saw + rip cut 2 - Dig saw 3 - Driw 4 - Sander 5 - Pocket hole dig 6 - Staple gun 7 - Sewing machine 8 - Impact driver 9 - Multitool 10 - Nail gun

[@MaileyElaine]

Oh amazing I'm so glad it was helpful! 🥰🥰🥰

Congrats on the collaboration with Kreg. That's exciting and well deserved. A great roundup. I've had a jigsaw for maybe 10 years but have never used it. That's because in my head I would! It was actually the work anniversary gift I picked from a catalog! I also have a drill, a staple gun, and a sewing machine. I'm happy that I know how to sew. I want to make a privacy wall for my screened porch. Ask me in a year if I actually made it. Thanks, Mailey.

[@MaileyElaine]

You have all the tools to get started DIYing! I love my jigsaw just plan out some small projects and try them out. and you definitely have the tools for a privacy wall you could even do a fabric privacy wall and use your staple gun

@@MaileyElaine I'm just so lazy! But my time has finally freed up. In August 2022, I retired and my mom died (the one from Appleton). And one of my sisters was diagnosed with oral cancer in October 2022. So between settling my mom's estate and helping my sister through her ordeal, I finally feel ready to discover my new normal. I can't crawl around on the floor because of knee replacements but I should be able to do a lot of things! Regarding the tools, I do have a suggestion. I would have liked to see more detail about each one. Like the different blades for jig saws and what to look for in a nailer (gauge of nails, etc.). It was good that you included what you used them for!

[@badgerdog9898]

Congratulations with your partnership with Kreg!! They picked the best creator possible. 👍

[@MaileyElaine]

Thanks so much! if you want to learn how to build the secret door the plans are up! 🥰

[@rachelbee7921]

You go, girl!!! My love for learning never wanes. We are kindred spirits. ❤👌🏼

[@MaileyElaine]

Yay!!! I gotta work on another Mai Guide to DIY video!

[@hope2859]

[@OdaBergin]

Love it! My fiance started working as a construcion worker (idk if this is what its called in English) last year and have over the past year collected alot of tools, and I have been thinking about investing in a sewing machine🥰 Using this video too convice him that a sewing machine can be counted as one of our power tools😂 I am on the hunt now!🤗 Love your channel, keep up the good work❤ Much love from a 26 year old girl in Norway🥰

[@MaileyElaine]

haha ya I'm so glad I can be a push to get a sewing machine! and yes construction worker is correct! 🥰 I would just look on amazon and don't start out too fancy you'll be rough on your first machine. Thanks so much for watching!

[@mrwii5741]

Hi mailey! Great job on this video! 😊 I think it’s really cool that your explaining these things to beginners who want to do DIY videos! Keep up the goodwork with your videos! I will continue to support you on patreon! ☺️

[@lisabatholomew1317]

Really helpful video, thanks for sharing. I’m a novice diyer and had no idea what tools were best for certain projects ❤

[@MaileyElaine]

Of course so glad it was helpful! Thanks so much for watching! 🥰

[@leahrobinson3025]

Congratulations on working with Kreg!! I would love some tutorials on how to use all of these tools! A lot of time I get nervous with the saws because I don't wanna chop my hand off so a tutorial would be great!

[@MaileyElaine]

Thank you so much!!! And I can definitely do some tool tutorials! That was next on my list! 🥰

[@MaileyElaine]

PS you won't chop your hand off... I think people get in trouble when they get too relax around power tools.

[@barbaraehrensberger8186]

That was awesome 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@MaileyElaine]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for watching!

[@cmrr1689]

Congtats on the Kreg too. You are very talented.

[@MaileyElaine]

Thank you so much!

I work at Home Depot. I tell DIYers that Ryobi-the cheap tools-are just fine. The contractors should move up to DeWalt/Milwaukee/Makita (and ridgid is somewhere in the middle). But for the table saw, I have a Ridgid because I heard it was slightly better (and didn’t have to worry about battery compatibility). I’m not sure what other “cheaper” brands are at big box stores but ask. Most employees will be honest if it’s worth it for a DIYer.

[@MaileyElaine]

exactly I hear great things about Ryobi! Some other brands that I've heard is Craftsman I have some of their stuff. Also Flex, black and decker and Bosch

[@klvatten]

Great video!

[@MaileyElaine]

Thank so much! 🥰

[@ghoulgoil5029]

Great tips! I need to figure out my sewing machine. I have one and never use it.

[@MaileyElaine]

Oh I can help with that... planning for sewing to be the next thing I cover on Mai’s Guide! What kind of sewing machine do you have?

[@ghoulgoil5029]

@@MaileyElaine It is a Kenmore model 1422 Zig Zag sewing machine. Late 60’s or 70’s I think. Has its own cabinet. I bought it off someone selling it at work a few yrs ago.

[@MaileyElaine]

@@ghoulgoil5029 Oh amazing old sewing machines are sooooo much nice then the ones made today. You got a great sewing machine on your hands!

[@ghoulgoil5029]

@@MaileyElaine it’s really cool. And I have the manual. I just need to read it. I can’t find how old it is. Once I find the serial number, that might help determine if it’s 50’s, 60’s or 70’s.
