OverviewI had an old Black and Decker Firestorm set that was getting very long in the tooth kzbin.infoUgkxW1vOBRCMrgTCDEijzpVzDWsgI-Jm2iQv so it was an easy decision when this set went on sale. I'm not a pro or a handyman. I'm an occasional DIYer. So for me, this set is fantastic. I am very happy with my purchase.The Good Parts Very well priced for what you get Comes with everything you need - two batteries, a charger, and a carry bag The products feel very well made Not too heavy The drills are small and ergonomic (for my smallish hands) Huge ecosystem - Dewalt makes a lot of tools that use the same battery type and chargerCould Be Better I guess I could say that I wish the batteries were bigger, but that's a relatively minor compaint

Old man I appreciate you more than you know .. I’ve never had a teacher to be a wood either and learned everything from KZbin .. I can’t tell you how much people like you have changed my life . I’m not a phenomenal woodworker like you but I will be , channels like this made it possible to provide for my siblings , before we would go a day or two with out food , now we eat daily . Thank you

[@WorkshopCompanion]

Most welcome, and thank you for your kind words.

[@bryanbrigman2016]

This is so much better than most of the content out there. Didn't over-do the magic jokes, his narration and demonstration fit the pace of the video perfectly and the video's layout reminded me of being taught by some of the big name engineering/learning channels like veritasium, smartereveryday, etc. Loved it! Looking forward to more.

[@chenelius]

well said. exactly what i was thinking. im not a massive fan of kids TV show style video authors . This was spot on.

[@faris892003]

You are by far the best teacher for woodworking. Your teaching is far more superior than others. Appreciate u!!!

[@JosephMendoza-wu2vu]

I am glad to hear that you have found this book to be very informative and helpful for your woodworking project kzbin.infoUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO It sounds like you are well prepared and confident to build furniture for your house. I commend you and your friend for your enthusiasm and willingness to learn new things from this book. I hope you enjoy your woodworking journey and create some beautiful pieces.

[@WorkshopCompanion]

Folks, I had an email asking why, in gluing up the lamp base parts, I applied glue to just one of the adjoining surfaces during the first step (3:20), then applied glue to both adjoining surfaces during the second (3:50). First of all, let me give some kudos to the viewer who caught that. Good eye -- really! In case there are others out there wondering why, I was gluing up a 3" x 3" block that was made from plywood. In the first step, I was applying glue to the faces of the plywood veneers and I could expect the joint to behave like a standard face-grain glue-up. But during the second step, I was applying glue to the edges of the veneers, a mix of face grain and end grain. I knew the end grains would absorb a good deal more glue, so I applied glue to both surfaces.

[@Matergater]

You sir... Are a awesome presenter and a true master of your craft, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

[@joycelish5429]

As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement kzbin.infoUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!

[@WorkshopCompanion]

Comes from an Old Norse word "timbr," meaning "trees" or "wood." Adopted by the Old English to mean the hewn wooden parts of a house or a ship. In modern English, we've regressed to the way the Vikings used it.

[@imadeddinebouarroudj99]

You're the coolest old man that I ever saw in my life

[@valerieurquhart3133]

Nick puts a whole new meaning to being a "leg" man. He definitely has a fantastic sense of humour at 13:40 where he says to "measure once and cut twice." I just acquired my first bandsaw, and can't wait to get started. Thank you for starting me on my next adventure.

Happy travels.

Okay, this is a really cool principle, and I'm already imagining how this technique can jazz up a bunch of basic designs. Thank you!!

@@gregwright2059 We can't say. We have many things going on right now -- shutting down one business, building a new one, selling an old shop, building a new one -- that make it impossible to commit to a schedule.

After forty years of teaching shop, I finally became smart enough to retire. Couldn't match Grandpa's forty three years. Love your pacing and delivery. Another teacher showed me his "Trick Sawing on the Bandsaw". Was a great filler project for junior high students by making a whale out of some scrap square stock. The only extra machining required was to drill a hole for the eyes. Thank you. This was great fun in many ways !

You're one of the last. When I first began writing about woodworking, there were 17 shop programs at high schools within a 50-mile radius. Now there are 2, and one of those may be cancelled this year. Thank you for your service; I don't see how the woodworking world will continue without dedicated folks like you.
