Love this book! th-cam.com/users/postUgkxpCNxqmAkyjN6NPx1fyB7QiEFWyO5mUWL it is simply one-of-a-kind! I really love it, because karah explained all tools required to have the job done, not mentioning the fabulous diy pallets ideas. I'm pretty sure this will be a fresh start in my new endeavour. Amazon was great, they delivered on time. Thank you!
Another benefit to the pin nailer is you can get plastic nails. I use them sometimes to hold material on my CNC and you don't have to worry about the bit hitting it and ruining a good CNC but
Some folks wouldn't be happy if you hanged them with a new rope..... get a life people. Watch and learn. If you don't like what the man has to say, ignore it. If you watch with an open mind, you might learn something or figure out how to do what you do in a better or more efficient way.
Yep. He's standing in front of at least $750 in CLAMPS alone. The little Festool Drill? $300. The pin nailer? $188. The Woodpeckers Square ... get this ... $100. The Incra Square? $70. What's funny is what he says about the clamps -- "You're gonna pay [slightly wincing] a little bit more..." I'm sorry, but the F clamps at Harbor Freight have done just fine at 1/10th the cost.
I like this wood working book: *www.WoodPlanner. xyz* Some of the topics reviewed in the book include woodworking strategies, description on the growth cycles of trees, and different lumber characteristics which carpenters favor. I also gave my father another copy. .
Yeah... I'm beginning (which is one of the things he's mentioned at the start of the video). I'm pondering table saws themselves, not attachments for them to drive things closer into the fence. I mean it looks nice...
I'm new to this channel. I would think that manufacturers are driven by money..ok.duh..but I'm sure the guys that manufacture these things have probably had the same experiences that the public has had..and this is just guessing affiliates give feed back..and. Who knows what contributions that has started. It a way I've never thought..
"SHOULD OWN"??!! no no no!! Tools you SHOULD own as a woodworker are a hammer, clamps, some kind of good table, a sander, a drill, a saw, chisels, drillbits, ... Ok, I get the square angle. Yes, any fabricator needs to have that, but every other tool you sum up are just luxury items. Yes they could come in handy for some people, but miles and miles away from "should own"! Common now...
I agree. 10 tool should of been more focused on actual tools. Circular saw a some type of jig or track saw, budget table saw, cordless drill, impact driver, router or drill press. Apron, i keep thinking of my shop teacher. Guess I'm just too use to wearing my tool belt. I have a smaller version for the shop and keep my tape measure, pencils, square, mini square, centering bits, punch, hammer, screws, phone and all within reach. But those would of been under "Accessories that might come in Handy" video. Festool, that clamp is almost $100 too much for me and not something the average person should own....
I invented a new Power saw named "Parallel Guided Power Saw" you can see here on you tube under this name. Do you think your shop would benefit having my saw? I wish a partner to manufacture my saw.
@@blahblah5603 I have the same banks 23ga pin nailer. I would consider myself a "woodworker" and still use it. I'm waiting until it dies to replace it with something like a Bostitch or Cadex but it just keeps going. Have run literally tens of thousands of pin's through it.
Excellent curation! Pro woodworker and trim carpenter 45 years here. I use most on your list and would add two: Starrett 6" rule No. C604 RE and Woodpecker 4" Aluminum Delve Square. I am never without these on my person. C604 RE has end markings to 1/2" for setting up bits and blades, and it is exactly 3/4" wide, extremely useful for trim carpentry. The combination of matte finish and deep black long-lasting etching makes it perfectly legible in all lighting conditions, better than any other rule I have ever seen. The 4" (original) aluminum Delve Square is so compact it can fit in your pants pocket, and the precise thicknesses of its flanges provide instant gauges for 1/8", 1/4", 3/8", and 3/4". The design also enables it to act as a saddle square at both 90 and 45 degs for marking face and edge at once. Plus, it has precise pencil gauge holes 1/8" o.c. and, less useful for my work, typical speed-square style angular markings every 5 degs. Tremendous functionality in a bite-size form factor. (IMO more useful than the fancier and bulkier stainless steel successor later released.)
i have been building my home furniture using almost none of the products mentioned in this video, only thing mentioned here is the "Square" and its not a brand heard it's a DIY Square does the job precisely
Thanks for providing the great information. I will have to look into a few of the items on your list! It is interesting how we find favorite, much used tools and use them over and over again. I agree with purchasing high quality tools that will last a lifetime. You just have to build your inventory slowly over time. Keep up the good work.
I couldn't give a rat's ass if the video IS sponsored or not. I window shop these videos all the time looking to see things that interest me. There's always cool shit on you-tube regarding this stuff. If I see something I like, I jot it down. If I don't, I move on like an..hrm hrm..adult. I mean, you gonna walk around a public library and comment out loud on books you think don't serve people properly? Riiigghht, and two people with a straight jacket following closely behind.
Fretboard Burner I don’t understand what the good decisions and crack have to do with the list. But yeah you could never have enough clamps just as crackheads can’t have enough crack
For someone just starting out: 1. Router + Router table, 2. Work table with a surface that's level and plane to itself, 3. air compressor and pin nailer, 4. mitre saw, 5. circular saw and a clamping guide. Table saw I'd get eventually. Most people recommend that first, but if you have a work table that's level and plane to itself, a circular saw and clamp guide will take you very far. Also, Lowes and most places do 'courtesy cuts' on a panel saw for really large pieces of plywood or anything unwieldy. There are a lot of ways to save a lot of money, and maximize productivity. I bought everything I have used, at pawn shops, estate sales and facebook marketplace, for basically nothing relatively speaking. I scored a $200 (retail) router for $60 used but i new conditon, a router table $40 used, circular saw was $20 used, mitre saw was $25. On and on. Snipe great deals used. The stuff lasts forever. I think the most expensive thing in my entire shop was the work table.
These tools are far from necessary. They are beautiful and useful, but not necessary. Don’t be intimidated by videos like this. These tools are not for the hobbyist.
This guy- Great video buddy- I'm a different kind of wood worker (luthier), so our shop needs are a little different than yours, but you know - For decades all I've ever worn an apron for was messy stuff, and even in normal stuff I ain't no rosebud. I might just start wearing it more. This is private right? Here's my secret to always having a pencil - I have about 10 million pencils - all over the damn place. Once I just threw a handful of pencils to scatter them. Sure am glad no one will see this but you. This isn't public right?
After the first few seconds, it becomes obvious that the video would better be titled: "10 Tools Every PROFESSIONAL Woodworker Should Own". He obviously does this kind of work for a living - he's not a hobbyist or occasional weekend project guy. I identified with his reason for an apron; I'm constantly forgetting where I put something down.
A guy I used to work with had an apron similar to yours. People thought he "looked like a dork" . Not me. I've been meaning to get one - especially for inside work simply due to the fact that an ordinary toolbelt has the hammer on the side among other tools. The apron keeps most tools you need to have from bumping into the homeowners furniture . I can't count how many times I've bang a fancy coffee table with my hammer swinging all over the place while carrying in a piece of lumber or other items. Great video. Subscribed
What's with all the mean top comments? Yeah the first couple items were more expensive but they got cheaper as they went down the list. I wouldn't call every item necessary either, but he didn't say "need to own to complete projects." Most of these seem like they'd make projects easier, so for me, that fits "should own" plenty.
@woodensurfer depends where you are, it illegal or something to machine mdf in america so can order it as sheets or as machined in, they not want it machined there
Nice job. I'm a beginner and I found the information invaluable. Sometimes I get lost in the weeds because there is a flood of information available and at times I find myself way over my head. I hope you do more like this one.
I've got a lot to learn as a woodworker. Maybe these aren't "starter" tools yet it's nice to learn what's out there. And sometimes I get a solution to a problem I didn't think was fixable at my experience level.
Anne O'Reilly there are many great tools. These I have found very helpful. If you’re on Instagram go follow me there and feel free to send me a direct message anytime and I’ll help you out anyway that I can
Hi Anne, a good starter kit could include an adjustable square-it will make you think about measuring in a different way (relative dimensioning). Perhaps a really sharp marking knife; 1 short and 1 long steel ruler. 3 chisels-get some old ones and practice sharpening them, which brings me onto sharpening-maybe a 1000 or 1200 diamond sharpening plate-these are easy to use and stay flat, a no 4 or no 5 plane, again old ones are great. Most important is an engineers square. These are just the metal ones. Get 2 if you can, one small, one big. Enjoy!
200 for a pin nailer and there are $30 ones that have better reviews... I see a $20 nailer where a thousand people say it doesn't missfire. I'm not sure why $200 is worth avoiding a rare missfire. That one even has poor reviews..
J E good question. A kickback on a miter saw happens when the wood moves and their pieces will pinch the blade which if you’re using a sliding miter saw will cause the sought to kick out towards you. On a compound miter Saul it will sometimes caused the blade and the whole unit to kick upwards. I hope that makes sense
It actually happens more often than you think. It has to do with the location of your blade, especially on wider stock, where the backside of the blade will catch as it comes back upwards. On a poorly setup (or quality) sliding compound this can potentially be more of a problem, as the back edge of the saw will contact the workpiece and off-cut (often the one that gets shot out). but it will happen even on a non-sliding saw - the effects are just as dangerous and embarrassing.
You have many interesting, helpful and unique videos. This one stands out to me for the handy gadgets that I have been looking for to put up in my beginners wood shop. Still trying to get everything organized, at 70, things come together much slower.
Make your own set up blocks, save a ton of money. Pin nailer is a good buy but buy a multi use nailer. Right angle attachments are easy to counter by planning. It's good if you are repairing. Otherwise, plan your build. The clamps, buy them all. Ask for clamps for Christmas. You need 10 to 15 long ones, and 5 to 10 short ones. The hold down clamp is not required. If you need one, you are using your mitre saw wrong. The stock guides are not required. You can make a jig out of scrap that does the same thing. I like the tiny T but use a caliper. Card scraper is a must, practice with it. Pask makes one out of a saw blade. Check his out. The square is a must. I like the starret. Shop aprons protect your clothes.
You are both are right! A pro needs to think, "In the time I'm making a tool, is time I'm not earning money." So for them buying anything that makes them more productive is great. As a hobbyist I'm thinking I could make the equivalent of a Grrriper and save money. As a pro I'd be wasting several hours that I could be making more money than the price of a GRRRiper. If I was a full time pro I'd have a CNC router but for me it is just a wild dream. If I have repeated parts I make a template. Takes more time but a lot less bucks.
Working in mm is simpler and much easier to read, what is 1/7686th of an inch? I know I've exaggerated the measurement but..... Great video though Brent.
I have 3 table saws in my shop. One saw I picked up for $50 . It didn’t have a miter gauge nor a fence but it is used with my sled. The second saw I bought for $75. It is a Hitachi C10FL . The motor was not working when I bought it. I got the motor fixed for $155 . I use it for ripping and my dado blades. The third saw is a Bosch work site and I bought it new. It’s my technical fine tuned cuts .
Sorry to be off topic but does any of you know of a tool to log back into an instagram account?? I was stupid forgot the login password. I love any assistance you can give me.
Since I read *TopFineWoodworking. Com* , I think nothing will ever surpass it as an outstanding woodworking book. The book consists of attractive images as well as drawings and also reader-friendly text. I consider this book a "must have" since it supplies a broad range of information on just about everything working with woodworking and does it quite well.?
Spot on about the Pin Nailer! Best tool I ever added (9 years ago)! Right angle drill attachment a necessity.. I'm more partial to a Sheet metal shop square - MUCH cheaper than either tool you showed.. and every bit as accurate. Also, while I agree with the apron, I mostly use a carpenter's tool belt.. holds more tools, and can set up with different config's as the job at hand requires - but, yes, great to have everything at a quick grab! The only tool you didn't mention that is an absolute necessity for me is the Wixey Digital Angle finder.. literally NO guesswork on critical bevels in the table saw anymore! The only other tool I recommend is a VERY high end blade for both table and chop saws. Critical to have smooth cuts, and prevent the "drag" that a dull blade creates (dangerous). Next addition will be the Jess em's.. bit beyond the budget at the moment..
@@bentswoodworking it's a macillster.not particularly expensive. An oversight on my part. Was going to use it to cut my dados but can't find a jig to raise piece of material I'm cutting. I'll either just have to cut some different thickness battens or use the router I suppose. Unless you had another alternative. Thanks
@@bentswoodworking The advice is free and I really appreciate your taking the time to compose a good video. It's nice to know about new tools that can make my time in my shop more productive and enjoyable. Cheers!
I typed out a big response, and I just sounded like an asshole. Then deleted. I have to remember I get to play with a different budget scale, and do it every single day. I will say nay to the apron though. Wear that thing 12 hours a day full of stuff and you'll slim down to a tape measure, a pencil, and a sharpie in no time. That stuff gets heavy after hustling all day, and hot when it's already hot out.
I never had any of these fancy tools and have been building high end kitchens Cabinets and dining room sets for some 20 years..... but I was trained in Europe and may have a higher skill level and not depending on all sorts of fancy tools...... I use basic high quality tools and power tools and yes I do use scrapers...............lol
I invented a new Power saw named "Parallel Guided Power Saw" you can see here on you tube under this name. Do you think your shop would benefit having my saw? I wish a partner to manufacture my saw.
This guy is only describing tools and accessories that he feels help him, why anyone can find negative comments is beyond me, if it doesn't suit you then it simply doesn't suit MOVE ON!!! go and learn something
James Bolger- Don't think I have seen a comment section with this many cry babies in a long time. This Old House gets a ton of whiners too. If all these know it alls know so much why are they here?
total shill. Most dont need a $185 pinner, or $279 stock guides !!!... is this guy sponsored or what? When i see Festool, I first think of sponsorship, then douchiness...lol
@Harry Knows right, I agree. That woodpecker square is $80?!?!?! That's some seriously over priced stuff. I picked up a machinist square for $7 at my local menards. This begs the question as to why one would recommend such over priced tools for, as he says in his own words, a beginning wood worker. I can only assume he's getting sponsorship dollars.... Oh well, all I can say is I was a potential new channel subscriber but seeing this video, I'll pass.
Great video, and I just found this channel! Also, just realized you’re in Greenwood, I live in Indy. Quick question…. Where do you get your lumber that you can’t get from a big box store (like walnut)? I’ve been to NW Lumber a few times and like it, but didn’t know if you had any other recommendations. Thanks!
Cool I do some amateur leather working I could easily make one of those aprons. It just be a matter of figuring out what pockets and other stuff I would want and locations. Looks like you have plenty of room for additions to yours lol! Thanks man !
I feel like every item in this video is overpriced and I buy quality tools. A $20 square made of CNC machined materials is just as square as a $70 one, as example. But affiliate links makes you some money so I get it i guess.
About the Jessem guides: Can these be used for most cuts? Obviously not really narrow ones, but most other than that? Do you use them most of the time? I ask because they look like they make it very safe, esp with kickback. People will pay a whole lot for a SawStop, but that still doesn't prevent kickbacks. Ask if you'd rather get brain damage or lose a finger, that's kickback vs the Sawstop. So it looks like a good thing. They look like they'll also help prevent hand damage since getting a hand pulled into the saw would be far less likely. I wouldn't invest in a sawstop since I'm not a pro. Also, thanks for links. It makes it much easier to find the items. Thanks for the great videos, too, which take a lot of time to make.
The title strikes me as a bit of a stretch, but such are the times, apparently. Not a bad list, and no question good quality tools that solve some common pain points in the shop if one's budget allows. thanks for the video. enjoy the channel!
Jason Bent: After seeing so many negative comments directed your way, I feel compelled to give you a thumbs-up in support. Most of the woodworking videos I see on TH-cam have at least something to teach me, and this one is no exception. Whether to acquire a particular tool you have recommended is a decision each viewer can make for him or herself. Decades ago, after I bought an old house, I had to go to books to search for information on how to do various repairs and projects. Sometimes there simply was not much info readily available on certain topics. But these days I am amazed at all the online info covering just about any topic I want to explore. Some videos are more helpful than others, but none of them costs me anything to watch, and I am free to stop watching whenever I want. I am very appreciative for content providers like yourself, who are willing to put their time and energy into sharing their knowledge with others. It must be a huge downer to make the effort to put out a video, and then have to endure an onslaught of critical comments. But hopefully there is enough positive stuff coming your way to make the effort worthwhile. Thanks again!
Hiriser 15 thank you! As for the negativity, these kinds of videos tend to get it more. Also when I talk about Festool. I don’t let it bother me. Everyone is entitled to there opinion but some are just more nasty about it then others
Hiriser15 I am happy that you appreciate that this guy is willing to put his time and energy into sharing knowledge with others; I wonder if he would be so willing to spend all that time and energy if he wasn't paid by these manufacturers handsomely to advertise their products. Be realistic; the guy is paid to promote and advertise these brand names and I don't blame him for that, I would do the same if I was paid, wouldn't you? Just join the real world my friend; this is advertising in a very cunning form to brainwash gullible people. If he was genuine he would have mentioned other brands that are just as good as the ones he advertises at a fraction of the cost. Sorry to burst your bubble but this is the real world.
John Robinson to start, I am not paid or sponsored by any company at all. I have never received free tools from any company. Everything in my videos I paid for with money I made building client pieces. The reason I didn’t show less expensive tools is because I don’t have them anymore. I’m sorry that you think that I am just blabbing about tools that I was paid to blab about. Thank you for your input.
Bents Woodworking; at least you have the decency to respond to my comments however, you do get monetary reward from Utube. I see no reason to mention brand names unless you compare product with product. I have used Festool tools and found them to be no better than some of the much cheaper tools on the market. You mention $300 as though it is not much money but to some folk, it is a lot of money and so is $100 to some. You are absolutely pointing viewers toward purchasing the brands that you mention. It is hard to accept your word that you are not paid by the manufacturers or you have not received tools from them as payment for your advertising their products and I find this hard to believe as most guys in your position do receive these products to assess and make a video on their performance and promote them. In Australia the brands you mention are quite expensive and you will not buy them for a hundred dollars or less; we have cheaper tools that in my opinion, do the job equally as well as the more expensive ones. One of the cheaper brands in this country comes with a 5 year replacement warranty and none of the top priced brands will offer the same warranty ;most of them offer a "repair" warranty and not a replacement. You have to realise that there are many woodworkers who are not as fortunate as yourself being able to afford tools that cost up to $300 and consider that price bracket as affordable by everyone which is not the case. Maybe you should mention that there are many brands of tools that can do the job equally as well as the big brand names at a much lower price. You have to admit these manufacturers, through their advertising have created an image of their tools that the consumer is to believe they are the best, so the price is hiked up accordingly. I am not having a go at you because you are able to afford the higher priced items but I think you should mention in this video that consumers should do their research and look around before making a purchase and they could save big bucks. I realise that some consumers are guided by price alone and believe that the more you pay for something, the better the item is; This mindset has been embedded in the consumers mind by clever manufacturers advertising and brainwashing them into believing this is true and once this idea is set in their mind, they will not change their mindset and always believe the more you pay the better the item. Thank you for replying to my comments.

Totally agree with James and Marshall below. For those who are looking for some guidance, especially people like me who are hobbyists, learning from a pro is worth it‘s weight in gold. Ignore the smart asses and haters Jason, love your channel 👍👍👍
As someone who just got a shop apron for Father's Day, I can testify to how much more efficient I am having that apron with the things I used to spend time finding once I put it down. It takes a bit to get the habit built up, but once you are used to pulling the pencil and ruler out of the apron to mark where you want to cut, and put it back, it's so worth it. I don't know what I would do without a shop apron now. Love the video, and seeing the items you are putting into that apron is helpful so I can load mine up with the tools that will continue to make my time even more efficient in the shop. Keep up the good work, Jason!
basic carpentry tools are a hammer , some sort of saw. a tape measure , a pencil , etc. Most of the tools presented are what is purchased AFTER you have the basics .
@@SnootchieBootchies27 I walk into a store or go online and I see dozens of different hammers. Some of them I can identify, others I can't. I watch videos about woodworking and I see three or four or five different hammers in use, not always with much explanation of why. But I never see a basic claw hammer, sledge, or ball peen hammer in use, which is what most of us have around the house. In fact, professionals have largely abandoned the basic hammer in favor of nail guns, but that's a decently large expense for a homeowner or beginning hobbyist. An expert could easily make a 10+ minute video explaining the uses for different hammers and which are the most important to have around, which are more specialized, and which are conveniences that you can still do good work without. Some channels have done that for planes, saws, chisels, even table saw blades. Thinking on it though, I can't recall seeing one specifically for hammers.
@@Kurgosh1 alright then. Very good points. I suppose as some of us progress past the basics we forget how mysterious some of it was at some point. But, that being said, you're going to learn a heck of a lot more out of your average flat claw hammer/sledge/prybar/ball peen by grabbing it and seeing what it can do than you can glean from a TH-cam video.
I hate to say this but there are people that think that they can do stuff that they have no clue of what they're doing videos that show them that it's this simple this easy without precautionary might get somebody hurt for doing something silly or trying to do something silly should I say that they really have no business even trying to do besides for someone give them a reason to try to do it I'm not being a hater on your video but there are people out there that should not even attempt it
I’m only using two of them, clamps and square. You forgotten the measuring band/tape on your right side. Nice video 👍 Regards from one who loves to make funitures in Norway.
Thanks bents woodworking. I wouldn't worry too much about the "i can do all this without the expensive tools" 30 years down the track the good ones will still be square and true and the others will probably not me. Good tools are good tools for life.. Personally i didn't find any of this video a product placement or anything. I guess haters gonna hate. I inherited most of a woodworking shop tools (jointer,dripp press,thicknesser,lathe triton workbench set up as a table saw etc from my father and am looking forward to teaching my son how to make sawdust.. tutorials like this help people like me out even when i am in a country where most of these brands are hard to find Cheers
Andrew Puckridge thank you for this comment. Sorry I missed it. As for some of the comments, I just ignore some of them. Can’t make everyone happy. My goal is to help as many people as I can. I know that will come with mixed opinions and that’s fine.
HI John , its just a line form a song my kids play occasionally, thought it was appropriate.. probably should have said "people with differing opinions are allowed them..as long as they are made respectfully and not with malice".. not quite as poetic though cheers
Yupp, some tools might be 'expensive', but no tool is cheap enough to be worth buying. Mechanics especially know this - when that "bargain" spanner strips a bolt on a Friday afternoon its no longer a bargain, but a cursed, wretched device
Would be great to have them, but priced them out-$967 for all but the Incra 5" square, which is currently unavailable on Amazon. I better start saving $$.
"Dont worry guys these tools wont cost you an arm and a leg" as he shows off $1133 worth of accessories and one drill......that's not even including the apron
Nobody is holding a gun to your head. Don't buy the stuff. This is an opinion video on things this guy finds useful. And, if you know anything about the craft, you know he isn't wrong. Every negative comment on here is from cheapskates crying that he doesn't encourage you to buy throwaway tools (or whining about his unpainted walls, as though that matters to literally anything). Personally, I think $1,133 (I'll take your word on the total cost) is a small price to pay for quality tools that help make a quality product. Most *serious* woodworkers will agree. Hell, if you take just the $90 miter saw clamp, for example... You're probably buying this because you run Festool, and have the Kapex. That one tool alone retails at about $1,500. You might think "Oh noes! That's overpriced!" But, you're clearly a hobbyist, at best. I'm sure you can find a Harbor Freight near you, to buy junk tools to build your lopsided birdhouse. You get what you pay for. Pay for quality, get quality. Say it how you like. But, it's absolutely true. Grab a seat, champ.
Micheal West 10 most important tools for a woodworker? Not a hater, but come on. A pin nailer, a 6" t-square, table saw accessories, an apron.....No table saw, no mitre saw, no chisels, no routers, no tape measure, etc. Should have been called '10 most important accessories'.
@@huejanus5505 Sounds like you're both nitpicking, and speaking to me as though I'm the one telling you that you must have these items. I would invite you to reread both the description of the video, and my comment. Better luck next time.
I'll make it easy for you... Video Title: "10 Tools Every Woodworker Should Own" (Note that "most important" is not included) Video Description: "...This week I wanted to highlight 10 tools that I currently have in my shop that I think every woodworker should not only know about, but should own..." (I've obviously pared it down to the applicable bit) My Comment: "Nobody is holding a gun to your head. Don't buy the stuff. This is an opinion video on things this guy finds useful. And, if you know anything about the craft, you know he isn't wrong." (Again, no mention of "most important" or that this is a definitive and all-encompassing list) You have made up details about this video, and my interaction with it, to support an argument that doesn't exist. Are you ok?
1; not doing anythink ,no have metric, only historic imperial shit.2;nail gun wery usefull,important be, i have gun were can use 10-32mm nails.3;not has newer need this drill angle tool my 35 year woodworking and installing work time.and festool have wery expensive,lot have better drill and cheapen. 4; clamps need be lot, minimium need 10 pcs clamps alltime need ewery work. 5; hold down clamp, need or not, i no has newer need,but if have ,good. 6; rollers need or not same can use weatherboards,roller have good but expensive lot than diy weatherboard. 7; tiny-T good tool but not has last 35 year,maybe need but can work whitout this. 8;scraper, good be at workshop,not lot need use. 9; sguare need be workshop many size. workshop have important have good strong worktable and many clamp, many saw and chisels, of course rill bits, etc basic tools. special tools need made dovetail etc jig, cutting,some different jig have good be.router have no;2 what need buy to workshop.
I love the clamp, but the price is ridiculous. 90 bucks for something that basic. Festool is gouging for it, because they have the patent on it. Manufacturing cost on that is on the order of 5 to 10 bucks, which means it should sell for around 5x that. tops. . Not saying that's not "their right" to charge what they want, but I could justify MAKING something that works that well. . By contrast, those Jessem guides (there is also a router guide) are similarly expensive but at least are justified by precision machining of hard materials.
Nice suggestions. You do seem to pick the spendy accessories though. Incra, Woodpecker, Festol? I can't wipe glue on a $300 custom leather apron. :-) I prefer the $35 Dickies coveralls I have and throw in the washer once a month. Just as many pockets. Not really essential tools but very nice accessories.
AndyB you’re correct, I wouldn’t want to wipe glue on the apron but that is why I had a glue rag ring installed to I could wipe glue on it. Thanks for your comment.
Lmfao... The best part of Bent's reply to your facetious comment? His counter-point to your statement on unnecessarily expensive accessories, "Spend more money and accessorize the accessory" (Insert smug look while slapping the reply button here) Ahhh, too funny. :)
I have some on my channel for my last shop. Jay Bates also has one on his second channel for my last shop. When my new shop is up and running, I will be doing a new video. I am currently doing a shop relocation series. You should check it out and follow along.
I bought on like it years ago when they first came out specifically for this reason. It can position at any angle 360 degrees around the chuck and be at 90 degrees from it. Some 20 plus years ago they made a plastic housing one you could adjust even the angle to the chuck from zero to 90 and even back to you another 30. Great for getting those screws angled in when manufactured.
I told my wife this guy is awesome, tools with zero problems! She said, "hey stupid, this guy's a paid salesman, say hello to American Bullshit". I said, no way baby, this guy's as honest as Apple Pie! I went out and purchased the tools against the force of my wife's headlock, I spent several thousand dollars, and it was worth every penny - a week and a half and never had a problem!
0”52 “… this a ill not cost you an arm and a leg…” I’m British and live in the Netherlands, but boy has hyper inflation driven up the cost of arms and legs in the US…😂
In the beginning of the video, you said that the tools are affordable??? Only thing affordable is the cabinet scraper, and I can find a similar for 1/4 the price.
Yeh festool is so affordable dude ....🤣🤣🤣🤣 ps i bought the new kapex mitre .....a mnth later i sent it back and got my old wr khorse back ....so unimpressed with festool
kind annoyed with myself for even paying any attention to it... but what the fuck is heighTH? is that an actual term? is it just a youtube colloquial adaption combining width and height used by the collective unconsciously. i'don't get it. lmao. drives me nuts.
Great effort, can't be easy making these videos knowing the rubbishers are going to rubbish it regardless! I appreciate your opinion of 10 valuable tools to have, I also found some great entertainment in the comment section. Keep up the good work, and I can't wait to see if some of these dudes with the negative comments make videos. There are some clever lads there, be positive and share knowledge rather than just rubbish someone else!
You have it right. Making videos like this is really challenging. Having to be mindful of the camera while building and fixing things is very difficult.
Got to about 20 seconds into the video but the classless, annoying, irritating and distracting background "music" ran me off and compelled me to hit that "thumbs down" button. When will these TH-cam posters learn that the viewer is not enthralled with the sort of crap "music" that is all too common here?
Tools that I use every day don't look brand new... thanks. I smell the b.s. here. Show me what you actually use, lol... don't give me a commercial disguised as an honest review.
Then buy old tools, carpenters have been around a long time, plenty have gone ! the older hand tools are better, made from better wood and steel. A Stanley No 4 1/2 smoothing plane should last forever or at least 3-4 generations. I bought a chest of second hand tools when I started my apprenticeship in 1980 my Stanley No. 4 and marples chisels are still going strong. I hope that when I'm gone one of my Son's will take up the trade or some one worthy will still use them. Slot head screws and "yankie" screwdrivers 'twas the way!
Is there a brand of Flesh-Light that you prefer over another, if so can you explain why it's your favorite and where I can purchase one for myself... Thanks
The only thing metric about the metric system is threads. English is far more accurate and precise. In metric pi is still 3.14159 and they still use 360 degrees in a circle not 10. Also they can not accurately break 1 into 3 equal parts. They always have to round up or down
brian haskins lots of people use it (including me) but nobody can realistically argue that metric isn’t really the easiest and most common sense system.
Read thru your list and the only things I can afford are some individual bits and the plans all the rest are out of my reach. Try doing a list of "Must have!" tools that a non business woodworker can actually use. Thumbs down for a poorly thought out concept, and an uncaring attitude
Love this book! th-cam.com/users/postUgkxpCNxqmAkyjN6NPx1fyB7QiEFWyO5mUWL it is simply one-of-a-kind! I really love it, because karah explained all tools required to have the job done, not mentioning the fabulous diy pallets ideas. I'm pretty sure this will be a fresh start in my new endeavour. Amazon was great, they delivered on time. Thank you!
Another benefit to the pin nailer is you can get plastic nails. I use them sometimes to hold material on my CNC and you don't have to worry about the bit hitting it and ruining a good CNC but
Some folks wouldn't be happy if you hanged them with a new rope..... get a life people. Watch and learn. If you don't like what the man has to say, ignore it. If you watch with an open mind, you might learn something or figure out how to do what you do in a better or more efficient way.
Here are 16,000 woodworking plans if you're interested: *WoodPlan. info*
His idea of reasonably priced and mine are very different. All I see was a lot of really unnecessary tools that you actually do not need.
Yep. He's standing in front of at least $750 in CLAMPS alone. The little Festool Drill? $300. The pin nailer? $188. The Woodpeckers Square ... get this ... $100. The Incra Square? $70.
What's funny is what he says about the clamps -- "You're gonna pay [slightly wincing] a little bit more..." I'm sorry, but the F clamps at Harbor Freight have done just fine at 1/10th the cost.
Agree
300 to 400$ seems like a reasonable price for an apron LOL
I like this wood working book: *www.WoodPlanner. xyz*
Some of the topics reviewed in the book include woodworking strategies, description on the growth cycles of trees, and different lumber characteristics which carpenters favor. I also gave my father another copy. .
Yeah... I'm beginning (which is one of the things he's mentioned at the start of the video). I'm pondering table saws themselves, not attachments for them to drive things closer into the fence. I mean it looks nice...
Not waste time? -after 1 min intro, duuuuude! ;)
Omer makes a better pinner
Your title is off. I think you meant "10 expensive tools you should buy through my affiliate links".
It’s not...lol
Some of these items are pricey, but all of them look quite useful, so... no.
Pretty obviously a pitch for his links.... He uses each of these overpriced knick knacks EVERY day?
I'm new to this channel. I would think that manufacturers are driven by money..ok.duh..but I'm sure the guys that manufacture these things have probably had the same
experiences that the public has had..and this is just guessing affiliates give feed back..and. Who knows what contributions that has
started. It a way I've never thought..
Your comment is off. I think you meant "here's me whining because I can't afford anything."
"SHOULD OWN"??!! no no no!! Tools you SHOULD own as a woodworker are a hammer, clamps, some kind of good table, a sander, a drill, a saw, chisels, drillbits, ... Ok, I get the square angle. Yes, any fabricator needs to have that, but every other tool you sum up are just luxury items. Yes they could come in handy for some people, but miles and miles away from "should own"! Common now...
I agree. 10 tool should of been more focused on actual tools. Circular saw a some type of jig or track saw, budget table saw, cordless drill, impact driver, router or drill press. Apron, i keep thinking of my shop teacher. Guess I'm just too use to wearing my tool belt. I have a smaller version for the shop and keep my tape measure, pencils, square, mini square, centering bits, punch, hammer, screws, phone and all within reach. But those would of been under "Accessories that might come in Handy" video. Festool, that clamp is almost $100 too much for me and not something the average person should own....
Amen to the pin nailer over the brad. Oddly, I have an old harbor freight variety that never gives me problems.
Hey man, just found the channel, enjoying it... one minor suggestion: Shorten your intro... it's a bit much.
Ronald Prague thank you! Yes, it’s being changed now.
Ronald Prague great suggestion. Also, I agree; I’m enjoying this channel as well! Great content!
Yeah, he basically said what he was going to talk about. Twice. I got it the first time.
John Eihar
It’s all in imperial measures. Considering U.S. went metric in 1893 it is old school. And pricey on top of that.
I invented a new Power saw named "Parallel Guided Power Saw" you can see here on you tube under this name. Do you think your shop would benefit having my saw? I wish a partner to manufacture my saw.
kills me what rich people call affordable. the title should read, " P.S. if you make at least 70k a year"
I love my Banks 23ga pin nailer. It was $29 from Harbor Freight, and has worked perfectly for thousands of hours.
You must be a "hobbyist" and not a "woodworker".
We have this pin nailer and it's very good. I would buy it again in a heartbeat. We make our choice of tools based on value, not brand name.
@@blahblah5603 I have the same banks 23ga pin nailer. I would consider myself a "woodworker" and still use it. I'm waiting until it dies to replace it with something like a Bostitch or Cadex but it just keeps going. Have run literally tens of thousands of pin's through it.
@@blahblah5603 was that supposed to be an insult? If you work with wood.... you are a woodworker.
@@yourfacelookslikebut hes mad because he bought the expensive thing thats barely better than the cheap thing
Excellent curation! Pro woodworker and trim carpenter 45 years here. I use most on your list and would add two: Starrett 6" rule No. C604 RE and Woodpecker 4" Aluminum Delve Square. I am never without these on my person.
C604 RE has end markings to 1/2" for setting up bits and blades, and it is exactly 3/4" wide, extremely useful for trim carpentry. The combination of matte finish and deep black long-lasting etching makes it perfectly legible in all lighting conditions, better than any other rule I have ever seen.
The 4" (original) aluminum Delve Square is so compact it can fit in your pants pocket, and the precise thicknesses of its flanges provide instant gauges for 1/8", 1/4", 3/8", and 3/4". The design also enables it to act as a saddle square at both 90 and 45 degs for marking face and edge at once. Plus, it has precise pencil gauge holes 1/8" o.c. and, less useful for my work, typical speed-square style angular markings every 5 degs. Tremendous functionality in a bite-size form factor. (IMO more useful than the fancier and bulkier stainless steel successor later released.)
thank you so much for your feedback!!
i have been building my home furniture using almost none of the products mentioned in this video,
only thing mentioned here is the "Square" and its not a brand heard it's a DIY Square does the job precisely
Hell yeah
Thanks for providing the great information. I will have to look into a few of the items on your list! It is interesting how we find favorite, much used tools and use them over and over again. I agree with purchasing high quality tools that will last a lifetime. You just have to build your inventory slowly over time. Keep up the good work.
Ben Battino thank you very much!
Kickback on a miter saw? How? The force is towards the fence.. (still a good clamp is a good idea)
Referring to the action of the saw, not the wood.
If you are using a sliding miter saw... the wood can kick up & back if it's not clamped down.
I couldn't give a rat's ass if the video IS sponsored or not. I window shop these videos all the time looking to see things that interest me. There's always cool shit on you-tube regarding this stuff. If I see something I like, I jot it down. If I don't, I move on like an..hrm hrm..adult. I mean, you gonna walk around a public library and comment out loud on books you think don't serve people properly? Riiigghht, and two people with a straight jacket following closely behind.
David A lol.
I looked into a few of these via the links and holy expensive. The tinyt is a good deal, but who can buy $200 aprons and $100 squares
Timothy Vargo pointless anyway check out the best wood worker Mathias wandell smokes everyone I’ve seen with diy tools laughs at kreg jigs
Fretboard Burner I don’t understand what the good decisions and crack have to do with the list. But yeah you could never have enough clamps just as crackheads can’t have enough crack
Dangit bobby
It why I got pockets, I use trousers to store tools in and not use apron at all, carry at least 6 or more normally
...assuming you already have a table saw, mitre saw, air compressor, router... lol, guess I'm not the target audience here
For someone just starting out: 1. Router + Router table, 2. Work table with a surface that's level and plane to itself, 3. air compressor and pin nailer, 4. mitre saw, 5. circular saw and a clamping guide. Table saw I'd get eventually. Most people recommend that first, but if you have a work table that's level and plane to itself, a circular saw and clamp guide will take you very far. Also, Lowes and most places do 'courtesy cuts' on a panel saw for really large pieces of plywood or anything unwieldy. There are a lot of ways to save a lot of money, and maximize productivity.
I bought everything I have used, at pawn shops, estate sales and facebook marketplace, for basically nothing relatively speaking. I scored a $200 (retail) router for $60 used but i new conditon, a router table $40 used, circular saw was $20 used, mitre saw was $25. On and on. Snipe great deals used. The stuff lasts forever. I think the most expensive thing in my entire shop was the work table.
These tools are far from necessary. They are beautiful and useful, but not necessary. Don’t be intimidated by videos like this. These tools are not for the hobbyist.
This guy- Great video buddy- I'm a different kind of wood worker (luthier), so our shop needs are a little different than yours, but you know - For decades all I've ever worn an apron for was messy stuff, and even in normal stuff I ain't no rosebud. I might just start wearing it more. This is private right? Here's my secret to always having a pencil - I have about 10 million pencils - all over the damn place. Once I just threw a handful of pencils to scatter them. Sure am glad no one will see this but you. This isn't public right?
Hancock lol. We can pretend it’s private. That’s an effective solution to always having a pencil. 🤣
I do the same thing. Also with tape measures. Every room in my house has a tape measure and my shop has about 6.
After the first few seconds, it becomes obvious that the video would better be titled: "10 Tools Every PROFESSIONAL Woodworker Should Own". He obviously does this kind of work for a living - he's not a hobbyist or occasional weekend project guy. I identified with his reason for an apron; I'm constantly forgetting where I put something down.
great video but true I have a humble workshop with miter and table saw
Title should be "10 things I was paid to promote"
Actually I work with a lot of professional wood workers who do outstanding very high end work and many of these tools are not in their shops.
I’m a hobbyist and I have all of those tools, and many more….
A guy I used to work with had an apron similar to yours. People thought he "looked like a dork" . Not me. I've been meaning to get one - especially for inside work simply due to the fact that an ordinary toolbelt has the hammer on the side among other tools. The apron keeps most tools you need to have from bumping into the homeowners furniture . I can't count how many times I've bang a fancy coffee table with my hammer swinging all over the place while carrying in a piece of lumber or other items. Great video. Subscribed
Thank you! I love my apron for sure. Makes life way easier
I had my wife make one for me! Greatest thing she ever made! (in my opinion! haha)
What's with all the mean top comments? Yeah the first couple items were more expensive but they got cheaper as they went down the list. I wouldn't call every item necessary either, but he didn't say "need to own to complete projects." Most of these seem like they'd make projects easier, so for me, that fits "should own" plenty.
Can’t please everyone
What is wrong with using MDF as spacers?
So many people want to waste money.
@woodensurfer depends where you are, it illegal or something to machine mdf in america so can order it as sheets or as machined in, they not want it machined there
I swear by the incra T. I got the 6" thinking I may use it for just small measurements. It completely replaced my combination square.
Chad Schmidt it’s an outstanding measuring device!
it's the one I kind of wish I'd seen you use.
I use my Incra T every day.
Nice job. I'm a beginner and I found the information invaluable.
Sometimes I get lost in the weeds because there is a flood of information available and at
times I find myself way over my head.
I hope you do more like this one.
Joe Smith thank you, I know exactly how you feel! I have found its best to just try and focus on 1 or 2 things at a time.
These aren't beginners tools!!
Those tools are for hobbyist woodworkers, thanks for the video.
I've got a lot to learn as a woodworker. Maybe these aren't "starter" tools yet it's nice to learn what's out there. And sometimes I get a solution to a problem I didn't think was fixable at my experience level.
Anne O'Reilly there are many great tools. These I have found very helpful. If you’re on Instagram go follow me there and feel free to send me a direct message anytime and I’ll help you out anyway that I can
Hi Anne, a good starter kit could include an adjustable square-it will make you think about measuring in a different way (relative dimensioning). Perhaps a really sharp marking knife; 1 short and 1 long steel ruler. 3 chisels-get some old ones and practice sharpening them, which brings me onto sharpening-maybe a 1000 or 1200 diamond sharpening plate-these are easy to use and stay flat, a no 4 or no 5 plane, again old ones are great. Most important is an engineers square. These are just the metal ones. Get 2 if you can, one small, one big. Enjoy!
200 for a pin nailer and there are $30 ones that have better reviews... I see a $20 nailer where a thousand people say it doesn't missfire. I'm not sure why $200 is worth avoiding a rare missfire. That one even has poor reviews..
How does kick back happen on a miter saw? I understand table saw but miter? Really?
J E good question. A kickback on a miter saw happens when the wood moves and their pieces will pinch the blade which if you’re using a sliding miter saw will cause the sought to kick out towards you. On a compound miter Saul it will sometimes caused the blade and the whole unit to kick upwards. I hope that makes sense
J E u
If you lift the miter saw without waiting for the blade to stop you will sometimes get kickbacks
Joe DeMarco not if your piece is secured
It actually happens more often than you think. It has to do with the location of your blade, especially on wider stock, where the backside of the blade will catch as it comes back upwards. On a poorly setup (or quality) sliding compound this can potentially be more of a problem, as the back edge of the saw will contact the workpiece and off-cut (often the one that gets shot out). but it will happen even on a non-sliding saw - the effects are just as dangerous and embarrassing.
This man likes to work with wood, but he does NOT like to paint walls......
I’m a tiler by trade, I bought a house and I jdndneksosk
You have many interesting, helpful and unique videos. This one stands out to me for the handy gadgets that I have been looking for to put up in my beginners wood shop. Still trying to get everything organized, at 70, things come together much slower.
Make your own set up blocks, save a ton of money. Pin nailer is a good buy but buy a multi use nailer. Right angle attachments are easy to counter by planning. It's good if you are repairing. Otherwise, plan your build. The clamps, buy them all. Ask for clamps for Christmas. You need 10 to 15 long ones, and 5 to 10 short ones. The hold down clamp is not required. If you need one, you are using your mitre saw wrong. The stock guides are not required. You can make a jig out of scrap that does the same thing. I like the tiny T but use a caliper. Card scraper is a must, practice with it. Pask makes one out of a saw blade. Check his out. The square is a must. I like the starret. Shop aprons protect your clothes.
You are both are right! A pro needs to think, "In the time I'm making a tool, is time I'm not earning money." So for them buying anything that makes them more productive is great. As a hobbyist I'm thinking I could make the equivalent of a Grrriper and save money. As a pro I'd be wasting several hours that I could be making more money than the price of a GRRRiper. If I was a full time pro I'd have a CNC router but for me it is just a wild dream. If I have repeated parts I make a template. Takes more time but a lot less bucks.
Working in mm is simpler and much easier to read, what is 1/7686th of an inch? I know I've exaggerated the measurement but.....
Great video though Brent.
Thank you 👍
I have 3 table saws in my shop. One saw I picked up for $50 . It didn’t have a miter gauge nor a fence but it is used with my sled. The second saw I bought for $75. It is a Hitachi C10FL . The motor was not working when I bought it. I got the motor fixed for $155 . I use it for ripping and my dado blades. The third saw is a Bosch work site and I bought it new. It’s my technical fine tuned cuts .
Thank you for a great video. I have purchased several of the items. My favorite was the shop apron by Dragonfly. Well done!!
They make a outstanding apron!
wow, where do you work, I need your paycheck to buy his list. lol.
WALMART
Sorry to be off topic but does any of you know of a tool to log back into an instagram account??
I was stupid forgot the login password. I love any assistance you can give me.
@Weston Genesis Instablaster =)
Dude, the music has to go. That stuff is distressing. Good video.
zippy I’m actually working on a couple different intro videos. Thanks!
I would have liked to see the tools in action.
Since I read *TopFineWoodworking. Com* , I think nothing will ever surpass it as an outstanding woodworking book. The book consists of attractive images as well as drawings and also reader-friendly text. I consider this book a "must have" since it supplies a broad range of information on just about everything working with woodworking and does it quite well.?
Spot on about the Pin Nailer! Best tool I ever added (9 years ago)! Right angle drill attachment a necessity.. I'm more partial to a Sheet metal shop square - MUCH cheaper than either tool you showed.. and every bit as accurate. Also, while I agree with the apron, I mostly use a carpenter's tool belt.. holds more tools, and can set up with different config's as the job at hand requires - but, yes, great to have everything at a quick grab! The only tool you didn't mention that is an absolute necessity for me is the Wixey Digital Angle finder.. literally NO guesswork on critical bevels in the table saw anymore! The only other tool I recommend is a VERY high end blade for both table and chop saws. Critical to have smooth cuts, and prevent the "drag" that a dull blade creates (dangerous).
Next addition will be the Jess em's.. bit beyond the budget at the moment..
Glad you found it helpful
I use my hold down on my miter saw on every cut. No excuses.
Hi Jason another noob comment. The table I just bought didn't have an adjustable height movement. Is there a jig I can buy or build for this.
What table are you referring too
@@bentswoodworking it's a macillster.not particularly expensive. An oversight on my part. Was going to use it to cut my dados but can't find a jig to raise piece of material I'm cutting. I'll either just have to cut some different thickness battens or use the router I suppose. Unless you had another alternative. Thanks
@@bentswoodworking hi Jason, ignore my last sending the table saw back for upgraded version for one with better spec.
To see another woodworker give time to explain some new,or not so new gadgets is always welcome I believe.
Bradley Roe thank you. Unfortunately, I have gotten a lot of flack for this video. But it’s okay, can’t please everyone I guess. 👍🏻
@@bentswoodworking The advice is free and I really appreciate your taking the time to compose a good video. It's nice to know about new tools that can make my time in my shop more productive and enjoyable. Cheers!
I typed out a big response, and I just sounded like an asshole. Then deleted. I have to remember I get to play with a different budget scale, and do it every single day.
I will say nay to the apron though. Wear that thing 12 hours a day full of stuff and you'll slim down to a tape measure, a pencil, and a sharpie in no time. That stuff gets heavy after hustling all day, and hot when it's already hot out.
I really enjoy mine. Just got another in fact.
Drank the Kool-
Which model is your mitre saw 60/88/120
gavin george 120
Undecided on which one would suit me, thinking if I buy the 60 then find I need a bigger one then I’ll end up buying twice 🤔
gavin george buy once cry once! Just do the 120 now and be done
If you REALLY want to save time, skip to 1:20 and avoid the time-wasting intro.
this needs to be bumped to the top
I never had any of these fancy tools and have been building high end kitchens Cabinets and dining room sets for some 20 years..... but I was trained in Europe and may have a higher skill level and not depending on all sorts of fancy tools...... I use basic high quality tools and power tools and yes I do use scrapers...............lol
Amazing, John. You build cabinets with only hand tools?
Stick the pencil behind the ear,that's what all good joiners do!lol
Many of us wear glasses, safety or not, which make ear mounting a pencil a problem...
I invented a new Power saw named "Parallel Guided Power Saw" you can see here on you tube under this name. Do you think your shop would benefit having my saw? I wish a partner to manufacture my saw.
The link to the Festool miter saw hold down doesn’t work 🥺
This is a very old video, I’m sure it expired
Those tablesaw rollers should be in every high school woodshop class
I agree!!
That table saw attachment looks like something I definitely want.
This guy is only describing tools and accessories that he feels help him, why anyone can find negative comments is beyond me, if it doesn't suit you then it simply doesn't suit MOVE ON!!! go and learn something
James Bolger- Don't think I have seen a comment section with this many cry babies in a long time. This Old House gets a ton of whiners too. If all these know it alls know so much why are they here?
@Harry Knows Oh that's right, harry knows everything. Dillweed for sure
total shill. Most dont need a $185 pinner, or $279 stock guides !!!... is this guy sponsored or what? When i see Festool, I first think of sponsorship, then douchiness...lol
@Harry Knows right, I agree. That woodpecker square is $80?!?!?! That's some seriously over priced stuff. I picked up a machinist square for $7 at my local menards. This begs the question as to why one would recommend such over priced tools for, as he says in his own words, a beginning wood worker. I can only assume he's getting sponsorship dollars....
Oh well, all I can say is I was a potential new channel subscriber but seeing this video, I'll pass.
Justin Decker why would you want a guy to sit on your face!
Great video, and I just found this channel! Also, just realized you’re in Greenwood, I live in Indy.
Quick question…. Where do you get your lumber that you can’t get from a big box store (like walnut)? I’ve been to NW Lumber a few times and like it, but didn’t know if you had any other recommendations. Thanks!
Locally, northwest lumber is where I get things from.
Not much money is subjective
Cool I do some amateur leather working I could easily make one of those aprons. It just be a matter of figuring out what pockets and other stuff I would want and locations. Looks like you have plenty of room for additions to yours lol! Thanks man !
Jasons Creative Adventures it’s a great thing to have in the shop.
I feel like every item in this video is overpriced and I buy quality tools. A $20 square made of CNC machined materials is just as square as a $70 one, as example. But affiliate links makes you some money so I get it i guess.
About the Jessem guides: Can these be used for most cuts? Obviously not really narrow ones, but most other than that? Do you use them most of the time?
I ask because they look like they make it very safe, esp with kickback. People will pay a whole lot for a SawStop, but that still doesn't prevent kickbacks. Ask if you'd rather get brain damage or lose a finger, that's kickback vs the Sawstop. So it looks like a good thing. They look like they'll also help prevent hand damage since getting a hand pulled into the saw would be far less likely. I wouldn't invest in a sawstop since I'm not a pro. Also, thanks for links. It makes it much easier to find the items. Thanks for the great videos, too, which take a lot of time to make.
K.B. Woodworker yes I use them the majority of the time. They are amazing and makes using the table saw much safer for all the reasons you listed.
Thank you. I had not seen the table saw fence stock guides. They look quite useful.
Incredibly helpful
Hi, do you have a link where I can buy it?

Noconz0727 MC awesome thanks! Let me know if I can ever be any help!
Catchpenny gadgetry. If it turns you on, go for it. Learn good technique with standard tools and none of it is necessary. Harrumph!
The title strikes me as a bit of a stretch, but such are the times, apparently.
Not a bad list, and no question good quality tools that solve some common pain points in the shop if one's budget allows.
thanks for the video. enjoy the channel!
Thanks.
Jason Bent: After seeing so many negative comments directed your way, I feel compelled to give you a thumbs-up in support. Most of the woodworking videos I see on TH-cam have at least something to teach me, and this one is no exception. Whether to acquire a particular tool you have recommended is a decision each viewer can make for him or herself.
Decades ago, after I bought an old house, I had to go to books to search for information on how to do various repairs and projects. Sometimes there simply was not much info readily available on certain topics. But these days I am amazed at all the online info covering just about any topic I want to explore. Some videos are more helpful than others, but none of them costs me anything to watch, and I am free to stop watching whenever I want.
I am very appreciative for content providers like yourself, who are willing to put their time and energy into sharing their knowledge with others. It must be a huge downer to make the effort to put out a video, and then have to endure an onslaught of critical comments. But hopefully there is enough positive stuff coming your way to make the effort worthwhile. Thanks again!
Hiriser 15 thank you! As for the negativity, these kinds of videos tend to get it more. Also when I talk about Festool. I don’t let it bother me. Everyone is entitled to there opinion but some are just more nasty about it then others
Hiriser15 I am happy that you appreciate that this guy is willing to put his time and energy into sharing knowledge with others; I wonder if he would be so willing to spend all that time and energy if he wasn't paid by these manufacturers handsomely to advertise their products. Be realistic; the guy is paid to promote and advertise these brand names and I don't blame him for that, I would do the same if I was paid, wouldn't you? Just join the real world my friend; this is advertising in a very cunning form to brainwash gullible people. If he was genuine he would have mentioned other brands that are just as good as the ones he advertises at a fraction of the cost. Sorry to burst your bubble but this is the real world.
John Robinson to start, I am not paid or sponsored by any company at all. I have never received free tools from any company. Everything in my videos I paid for with money I made building client pieces. The reason I didn’t show less expensive tools is because I don’t have them anymore. I’m sorry that you think that I am just blabbing about tools that I was paid to blab about. Thank you for your input.
Bents Woodworking; at least you have the decency to respond to my comments however, you do get monetary reward from Utube. I see no reason to mention brand names unless you compare product with product. I have used Festool tools and found them to be no better than some of the much cheaper tools on the market. You mention $300 as though it is not much money but to some folk, it is a lot of money and so is $100 to some. You are absolutely pointing viewers toward purchasing the brands that you mention. It is hard to accept your word that you are not paid by the manufacturers or you have not received tools from them as payment for your advertising their products and I find this hard to believe as most guys in your position do receive these products to assess and make a video on their performance and promote them. In Australia the brands you mention are quite expensive and you will not buy them for a hundred dollars or less; we have cheaper tools that in my opinion, do the job equally as well as the more expensive ones. One of the cheaper brands in this country comes with a 5 year replacement warranty and none of the top priced brands will offer the same warranty ;most of them offer a "repair" warranty and not a replacement. You have to realise that there are many woodworkers who are not as fortunate as yourself being able to afford tools that cost up to $300 and consider that price bracket as affordable by everyone which is not the case. Maybe you should mention that there are many brands of tools that can do the job equally as well as the big brand names at a much lower price. You have to admit these manufacturers, through their advertising have created an image of their tools that the consumer is to believe they are the best, so the price is hiked up accordingly. I am not having a go at you because you are able to afford the higher priced items but I think you should mention in this video that consumers should do their research and look around before making a purchase and they could save big bucks. I realise that some consumers are guided by price alone and believe that the more you pay for something, the better the item is; This mindset has been embedded in the consumers mind by clever manufacturers advertising and brainwashing them into believing this is true and once this idea is set in their mind, they will not change their mindset and always believe the more you pay the better the item. Thank you for replying to my comments.
@@@johnrobinson1020 I couldn't give a rat's ass if the video IS sponsored or not. I window shop these videos all the time looking to see things that interest me. There's always cool shit on you-tube regarding this stuff. If I see something I like, I jot it down. If I don't, I move on like an..hrm hrm..adult. I mean, you gonna walk around a public library and comment out loud on books you think don't serve people properly? Riiigghht, and two people with a straight jacket following closely behind.
Sometimes you just have to re-post stuff, lol
Excellent video Jason!
Thank you
Totally agree with James and Marshall below. For those who are looking for some guidance, especially people like me who are hobbyists, learning from a pro is worth it‘s weight in gold. Ignore the smart asses and haters Jason, love your channel 👍👍👍
Robert W. Thank you!! 👍🏻
As someone who just got a shop apron for Father's Day, I can testify to how much more efficient I am having that apron with the things I used to spend time finding once I put it down. It takes a bit to get the habit built up, but once you are used to pulling the pencil and ruler out of the apron to mark where you want to cut, and put it back, it's so worth it. I don't know what I would do without a shop apron now. Love the video, and seeing the items you are putting into that apron is helpful so I can load mine up with the tools that will continue to make my time even more efficient in the shop. Keep up the good work, Jason!
Thank you! I am totally with you. Just as important as anything else in my shop
basic carpentry tools are a hammer , some sort of saw. a tape measure , a pencil , etc.
Most of the tools presented are what is purchased AFTER you have the basics .
Yeah, you're right. It would have been totally worth it to watch a ten minute video about the importance of having a hammer, pencil and tape measure.
@@SnootchieBootchies27 I walk into a store or go online and I see dozens of different hammers. Some of them I can identify, others I can't. I watch videos about woodworking and I see three or four or five different hammers in use, not always with much explanation of why. But I never see a basic claw hammer, sledge, or ball peen hammer in use, which is what most of us have around the house. In fact, professionals have largely abandoned the basic hammer in favor of nail guns, but that's a decently large expense for a homeowner or beginning hobbyist. An expert could easily make a 10+ minute video explaining the uses for different hammers and which are the most important to have around, which are more specialized, and which are conveniences that you can still do good work without. Some channels have done that for planes, saws, chisels, even table saw blades. Thinking on it though, I can't recall seeing one specifically for hammers.
@@Kurgosh1 alright then. Very good points. I suppose as some of us progress past the basics we forget how mysterious some of it was at some point. But, that being said, you're going to learn a heck of a lot more out of your average flat claw hammer/sledge/prybar/ball peen by grabbing it and seeing what it can do than you can glean from a TH-cam video.
I hate to say this but there are people that think that they can do stuff that they have no clue of what they're doing videos that show them that it's this simple this easy without precautionary might get somebody hurt for doing something silly or trying to do something silly should I say that they really have no business even trying to do besides for someone give them a reason to try to do it I'm not being a hater on your video but there are people out there that should not even attempt it
take the word “should” out if the title.
those are tools you like not a must for anyone else
Excellent post. Learned a lot and I have watched hundreds of other woodworking videos. Many thanks.
Titus Canby thank you!!
LEVELS!! Your intro music should not be double the volume of your voice over.
Rogue Cthulhu there is no audio in the intro clip. It’s just a intro with music. Thanks
It still rattles the walls when it cuts in. @@bentswoodworking
I’m only using two of them, clamps and square. You forgotten the measuring band/tape on your right side. Nice video 👍
Regards from one who loves to make funitures in Norway.
Knut Mathisen thank you very much!
Thanks bents woodworking.
I wouldn't worry too much about the "i can do all this without the expensive tools" 30 years down the track the good ones will still be square and true and the others will probably not me. Good tools are good tools for life.. Personally i didn't find any of this video a product placement or anything. I guess haters gonna hate. I inherited most of a woodworking shop tools (jointer,dripp press,thicknesser,lathe triton workbench set up as a table saw etc from my father and am looking forward to teaching my son how to make sawdust.. tutorials like this help people like me out even when i am in a country where most of these brands are hard to find
Cheers
Andrew Puckridge thank you for this comment. Sorry I missed it. As for some of the comments, I just ignore some of them. Can’t make everyone happy. My goal is to help as many people as I can. I know that will come with mixed opinions and that’s fine.
HI John , its just a line form a song my kids play occasionally, thought it was appropriate.. probably should have said "people with differing opinions are allowed them..as long as they are made respectfully and not with malice".. not quite as poetic though cheers
Yupp, some tools might be 'expensive', but no tool is cheap enough to be worth buying. Mechanics especially know this - when that "bargain" spanner strips a bolt on a Friday afternoon its no longer a bargain, but a cursed, wretched device
Would be great to have them, but priced them out-$967 for all but the Incra 5" square, which is currently unavailable on Amazon. I better start saving $$.
Thanks for another great video! Some of these items I'm looking into getting and will help. Thank You for your service and enjoy your tools!
mike davidson thank you Sir
I love woodworking but how does one start making money with woodworking instead of hobby projects?
Head over to my website and check out my blog articles. You may find them helpful
"Dont worry guys these tools wont cost you an arm and a leg" as he shows off $1133 worth of accessories and one drill......that's not even including the apron
Philcrest in the words of Clint Eastwood "even a bonehead like you can understand a man accumulates these things over 50 years "
Nobody is holding a gun to your head. Don't buy the stuff.
This is an opinion video on things this guy finds useful. And, if you know anything about the craft, you know he isn't wrong.
Every negative comment on here is from cheapskates crying that he doesn't encourage you to buy throwaway tools (or whining about his unpainted walls, as though that matters to literally anything).
Personally, I think $1,133 (I'll take your word on the total cost) is a small price to pay for quality tools that help make a quality product. Most *serious* woodworkers will agree. Hell, if you take just the $90 miter saw clamp, for example... You're probably buying this because you run Festool, and have the Kapex. That one tool alone retails at about $1,500. You might think "Oh noes! That's overpriced!"
But, you're clearly a hobbyist, at best. I'm sure you can find a Harbor Freight near you, to buy junk tools to build your lopsided birdhouse.
You get what you pay for. Pay for quality, get quality. Say it how you like. But, it's absolutely true.
Grab a seat, champ.
Micheal West 10 most important tools for a woodworker? Not a hater, but come on. A pin nailer, a 6" t-square, table saw accessories, an apron.....No table saw, no mitre saw, no chisels, no routers, no tape measure, etc. Should have been called '10 most important accessories'.
@@huejanus5505 Sounds like you're both nitpicking, and speaking to me as though I'm the one telling you that you must have these items.
I would invite you to reread both the description of the video, and my comment.
Better luck next time.
I'll make it easy for you...
Video Title: "10 Tools Every Woodworker Should Own"
(Note that "most important" is not included)
Video Description: "...This week I wanted to highlight 10 tools that I currently have in my shop that I think every woodworker should not only know about, but should own..."
(I've obviously pared it down to the applicable bit)
My Comment: "Nobody is holding a gun to your head. Don't buy the stuff.
This is an opinion video on things this guy finds useful. And, if you know anything about the craft, you know he isn't wrong."
(Again, no mention of "most important" or that this is a definitive and all-encompassing list)
You have made up details about this video, and my interaction with it, to support an argument that doesn't exist. Are you ok?
1; not doing anythink ,no have metric, only historic imperial shit.2;nail gun wery usefull,important be, i have gun were can use 10-32mm nails.3;not has newer need this drill angle tool my 35 year woodworking and installing work time.and festool have wery expensive,lot have better drill and cheapen. 4; clamps need be lot, minimium need 10 pcs clamps alltime need ewery work. 5; hold down clamp, need or not, i no has newer need,but if have ,good. 6; rollers need or not same can use weatherboards,roller have good but expensive lot than diy weatherboard. 7; tiny-T good tool but not has last 35 year,maybe need but can work whitout this. 8;scraper, good be at workshop,not lot need use. 9; sguare need be workshop many size. workshop have important have good strong worktable and many clamp, many saw and chisels, of course rill bits, etc basic tools. special tools need made dovetail etc jig, cutting,some different jig have good be.router have no;2 what need buy to workshop.
Brad nail has a head on the nail where as a pin nail is headless
Correct
I love the clamp, but the price is ridiculous. 90 bucks for something that basic. Festool is gouging for it, because they have the patent on it. Manufacturing cost on that is on the order of 5 to 10 bucks, which means it should sell for around 5x that. tops.
.
Not saying that's not "their right" to charge what they want, but I could justify MAKING something that works that well.
.
By contrast, those Jessem guides (there is also a router guide) are similarly expensive but at least are justified by precision machining of hard materials.
Nice suggestions. You do seem to pick the spendy accessories though. Incra, Woodpecker, Festol? I can't wipe glue on a $300 custom leather apron. :-) I prefer the $35 Dickies coveralls I have and throw in the washer once a month. Just as many pockets. Not really essential tools but very nice accessories.
AndyB you’re correct, I wouldn’t want to wipe glue on the apron but that is why I had a glue rag ring installed to I could wipe glue on it. Thanks for your comment.
Lmfao... The best part of Bent's reply to your facetious comment? His counter-point to your statement on unnecessarily expensive accessories, "Spend more money and accessorize the accessory" (Insert smug look while slapping the reply button here) Ahhh, too funny. :)
@White Rabbit bullshit. My Carhartts are worn out in a year anyways.
That's where the glue goes. 😉
Wow, you guys use aprons?
Could you put out a detailed video of your shop, tool set-ups, dust collection, etc.... Thanks
I have some on my channel for my last shop. Jay Bates also has one on his second channel for my last shop. When my new shop is up and running, I will be doing a new video. I am currently doing a shop relocation series. You should check it out and follow along.
how about if you have to drive a screw on the left with a right angle attachment???
Bruno turn it the other way.
@@bentswoodworkingand if I need to drive a screw in an upright direction? will it work as well?? or I need a vertical attachment
It refers to the “type” of angle not the direction of the angle. Whether it’s pointed left or right it’s still a right angle.
I bought on like it years ago when they first came out specifically for this reason. It can position at any angle 360 degrees around the chuck and be at 90 degrees from it.
Some 20 plus years ago they made a plastic housing one you could adjust even the angle to the chuck from zero to 90 and even back to you another 30.
Great for getting those screws angled in when manufactured.
Stand on your head! lol
I told my wife this guy is awesome, tools with zero problems! She said, "hey stupid, this guy's a paid salesman, say hello to American Bullshit". I said, no way baby, this guy's as honest as Apple Pie! I went out and purchased the tools against the force of my wife's headlock, I spent several thousand dollars, and it was worth every penny - a week and a half and never had a problem!
I feel like it’s more accessories other then the clamps 🗜
0”52
“… this a ill not cost you an arm and a leg…”
I’m British and live in the Netherlands, but boy has hyper inflation driven up the cost of arms and legs in the US…😂
In the beginning of the video, you said that the tools are affordable??? Only thing affordable is the cabinet scraper, and I can find a similar for 1/4 the price.
Yeh festool is so affordable dude ....🤣🤣🤣🤣 ps i bought the new kapex mitre .....a mnth later i sent it back and got my old wr khorse back ....so unimpressed with festool
There is more to woodworking than clickety click quick clamp gadgets.What do you make?
There are no local woodworking stores in the rural area I live in. Online is my only option for 90% of any wood tool.
really enjoyed watching this -thanks
Nino liberatore you’re welcome
kind annoyed with myself for even paying any attention to it... but what the fuck is heighTH? is that an actual term? is it just a youtube colloquial adaption combining width and height used by the collective unconsciously. i'don't get it. lmao. drives me nuts.
Man, I’d have to sell every other tool I own to afford these. Ridiculous!
Great effort, can't be easy making these videos knowing the rubbishers are going to rubbish it regardless! I appreciate your opinion of 10 valuable tools to have, I also found some great entertainment in the comment section. Keep up the good work, and I can't wait to see if some of these dudes with the negative comments make videos. There are some clever lads there, be positive and share knowledge rather than just rubbish someone else!
Diesel dog thank you. Sometimes it’s fun reading some of the messages. I enjoy it more when I see what some of my subscribers say back to people 😂.
You have it right. Making videos like this is really challenging. Having to be mindful of the camera while building and fixing things is very difficult.
I need a shop apron... now where is that darn pencil to make a note ?
kalbs89 lol 😂
Got to about 20 seconds into the video but the classless, annoying, irritating and distracting background "music" ran me off and compelled me to hit that "thumbs down" button. When will these TH-cam posters learn that the viewer is not enthralled with the sort of crap "music" that is all too common here?
Great suggestions.
WB Fine Woodworking thank you
Tools that I use every day don't look brand new... thanks. I smell the b.s. here. Show me what you actually use, lol... don't give me a commercial disguised as an honest review.
Worst thing about woodworking is KEEP BUYING NEW TOOLS !
PFA very true!
No kidding! I'm 28 years in and still stopping myself from buying! I did upgrade my vintage Record block plane for a Veritas though!
Then buy old tools, carpenters have been around a long time, plenty have gone ! the older hand tools are better, made from better wood and steel. A Stanley No 4 1/2 smoothing plane should last forever or at least 3-4 generations. I bought a chest of second hand tools when I started my apprenticeship in 1980 my Stanley No. 4 and marples chisels are still going strong. I hope that when I'm gone one of my Son's will take up the trade or some one worthy will still use them. Slot head screws and "yankie" screwdrivers 'twas the way!
Is there a brand of Flesh-Light that you prefer over another, if so can you explain why it's your favorite and where I can purchase one for myself... Thanks
Metric system is soooooo much easier and faster..
cattleNhay totally agree, I recently switched and I’ll never go back
@@bentswoodworking So how big is a 4x8 sheet of ply
Ian Johnstone roughly 1220 x 2440
The only thing metric about the metric system is threads. English is far more accurate and precise. In metric pi is still 3.14159 and they still use 360 degrees in a circle not 10. Also they can not accurately break 1 into 3 equal parts. They always have to round up or down
brian haskins lots of people use it (including me) but nobody can realistically argue that metric isn’t really the easiest and most common sense system.
Read thru your list and the only things I can afford are some individual bits and the plans all the rest are out of my reach. Try doing a list of "Must have!" tools that a non business woodworker can actually use. Thumbs down for a poorly thought out concept, and an uncaring attitude
