100%. The hard part is just remembering to say exactly that when the camera is in my face. :)

Welcome! All good questions. First I use poplar over pine because it's less sappy and has a lot less knots so less wood waste for puzzles. It has a consistent straight grain, so it holds up well for small puzzle pieces. I buy my poplar at a local mill in my area rough stock. Google lumber yards in your area, and then make some calls. Poplar is also a relatively cheap wood, so you'll get a better return on investment. I do sand the faces of all puzzle pieces after they are cut out with a 220 grit. The good blade means I don't have to sand interior portions. You can find a lot of great patterns online or there are some great scrollsaw magazines out there. That can get you started, but then I also encourage you to play with making and modifying your own designs since you'll learn a great deal doing it. Hope this helps and I wish you the best. Thanks again for watching!

@@theimaginationwoodshop5886 Thanks for the info.

Sorry I haven't reached out buddy! Once the year has started - life's been pretty crazy, so I haven't been able to get in the garage hardly at all this month. How is your garage project turning out. I would love to see it sometime!

@ I need to get a miter saw before I build my second workbench. But let me know if you want to do anything in your shop this weekend since I have 4 days

Oh I agree, if you really look you can definitely tell, but I just don't think people care enough to pay the extra money for handmade items nowadays sadly.

Maintanence should be realtively low for this machine. The most important thing is rust prevention honestly depending on your climate. I use Boeshield T-9 Rust & Corrosion spray. Stuff is fantastic and is way better than WD-40. WD-40 will work in a pinch, but the T-9 is a better product because it doesn't attract dirt like WD-40 does. Other than that, I honestly do little to no matainance on the machine. There are little brushes in the rear underneath the motor that occasionally needs replaced, but honestly if your motor goes out or something like that - you are just better taking it into a service station that services that brand. I like the idea, but sadly, I just don't know if I could fill a video with the little bit I do which I guess is kind of a good thing. Hope that T-9 suggestion helps, and thanks for watching!

Glad it was helpful!

An amazing project for an amazing person!

Like father like daughter I suppose!

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

That's awesome and I'm so glad it could help! Make sure you check out my video on blades before this one, because buying janky blades at your local big box store will bring you nothing but headaches.

Much appreciated. Hope it can help people who want to learn this amazing tool!

LOL! Well done.

She is a very low key person, so you will never hear her shout with excitement. I promise she was impressed. :)

Love it!

100% agree that fire is actually a great way to revitalize the soil and they defintely will go crazy if not maintained. Fortuntely, this isn't an unmaintained open field, but a maintained bed that will soon have preen and mulch on it. Thanks for watching the fun!

🤣🤣🤣 Nice.

I see what you did there. Sorry, it was more about just PLANTING the idea in your head. 🤣

Technically, what you saw was round 2. Round 1 was a quick burn to wilt and kill. Round was to follow up and ensure the root was dead. Besides, the area you also see is going to get covered with preen and mulch, so I'm not worried.

That’s just false

@@sc1338 please explain.

This comment absolutely made my day! Cherish those moments for sure. Love right back from Texas!

@rickyedwards5480 🤣 That's why I got her attention first and waiting until the tool was off friend.

@Frankjm520 I have, so sometimes a brush is just easier then going through having the air compressor on. Would work great too though!

Interesting. They look like they might work really well. I will say, I love the ball on the end because it stays perfect no matter how I turn it or angle it.

Sorry, don't know how I missed this comment. The straps are both just over 17" long.

@@theimaginationwoodshop5886 no it’s fine lol, thanks I’m gonna get a lathe and I need a bunch of the strips for lathe tools

Unless it's an exotic, then anything over 4" stays! :) Always need some pen blanks.

He did an amazing job this summer! Thank you for having a great kid!

The video? Usually editing a video is anywhere between 4-8 hours, depending on the complexity. I try not to keep track. 😁

@@theimaginationwoodshop5886 holy

Right?!? Brooks got skills!

With his work ethic, skies the limit from him!

Agreed, the finishing paste really made the piece pop.

I mean, I lost count as a kid how many coffee cans full of nails my grandpa had in his garage. Scrap is treasure right?!

🤣 Yes yes - it's a relative term!

🤣 No one wants to hear that hard truth man! Too soon!

I would love that as well! Have your dad reach out and I'm totally there.

@@theimaginationwoodshop5886 sounds good! I’m still working on it, so I’ll let you know when I’m done

100% Brooks. Happy to help you out. Also, there is a good video coming out Friday I think you'll enjoy. Watch that video and then let's talk about moving forward with yours to edit.

Thanks for watching. Good news is I'm out of that shop into a much bigger and more organized space. My latest video is actually a shop tour of the current shop. Definite upgrade.

@@polimana Glad it was helpful!
