I learned more woodworking tips watching this video than I did actually building with you..
… because I was too busy laughing my face off and having the best time ever hanging. 💁♀️
Thank you for helping my vision come to life. Let’s do this again soon, please and thanksss. 🙌
PS. This video confirmed that you’d look great as a 5’0 Italian woman. #pocketholebestiesforlife
Literally ANY time buddy. Let’s make it happen. #pocketholeproud
#IsThatAHoleInYourPocketOrAreYouJustHidingIt ...😂👍
Dude this is the stuff you're supposed to do. It was hilarious. You should make this a tv show, bunch of people hanging around building stuff in a wood shop and making chaos and laughing and stuff. I am serious, think about it.
If you think I’m not going to pitch this as a show to the people I know you’ve got another thing coming 🎉
My wife and I built two nightstands last year and now we’re in the middle of building a 12 drawer dresser. The nightstands were her introduction to woodworking, so my role is both partner and teacher. She has a good design aesthetic and often comes up with solutions or details that I wouldn’t have thought of because I’ve always done it another way. I love the enthusiasm of a newby and she keeps my ego in check.
Love that you are building together. That’s fantastic 👏
That’s technically how I got into wanting to build a decade ago. There was a cute bar/side table that cost waaay too much in a magazine plus I was fascinated with how it was put together so my husband and his Dad who really knew what to do worked with me on building it. My Husband passed shortly after that project but I still have it, I continue to observe and build just by figuring it out and researching how to rather than follow plans. Don’t be afraid to push her to learn cool joinery, at least that’s my favorite part of learning and building
Sams build video came up in my feed so I watched that and really enjoyed it. So now I am over here. Its good to see content creators still building stuff.
I found you through Sam! Thank you for the tips! Good idea Sam had to share the whole project like you did! You are fun together! 😉
Thank you!!
You two are so much alike and hilarious, would love to see more of you together !!
agree
Be careful what you wish for! 🤣
I’ve popped over from Sam’s channel. You guys are a blast please do another collaboration. And I just subscribed ❤
Thank you so much!
Great video and kick ass design!!! The level of shenanigans was on point!!!
Sharing your friendship brightened my day. This is one of your best videos, smiles and learning together.
Honestly I thought it was too. So glad you enjoyed it as much as we did making it 🙏
You two were cracking me up. Between the outtakes, the Uber ride, and the pocket hole madness I really enjoyed this video. I’ll definitely be looking for Sam’s channel too.
That was easily the best Uber ride of my life 😂
You 2 are a lot of fun to watch together. Do more please lol. I laughed a lot and learned too.
We’ll get another build on the schedule!
I love your instruction & understand how I could be fun, but I’m a 83 year old grouchy old man that’s not into the funny stuff , but it’s ok , it’s your show !
I appreciate the honest feedback Mike. Hope the next one is better for you!
That was absolutely ridiculous. And I say that in the best way. It looked like you guys had a blast. So much fun. I already follow Sam. It was fun watching you guys work together. Good stuff!!!
Thank you so much!
The fun stuff certainly came across Erik,it’s good to jointly work on projects with friends with the same interest. Thanks for the video.👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was fun & light hearted, plus I learned a couple things! Now if I could just talk my friends into building stuff with me I’d be set lol
We’ve been trying for four years. Don’t give up on that dream 😂
Love the collaboration pieces videos. Love the theory behind creating as well. Much appreciated to you both .
Thank you for bringing us along on your fun.
You bet!
This looked so fun. Great mood. 🙂 Beautiful build. Nice guys.
Thank you!
Great video. Entertaining. Awesome tips too. Mahalo for sharing! : )
Glad you enjoyed it!
Erik, it was all of the things! So good man. Inspired and pumped to build a thing, with friends. Thanks for doing this on video. Its a classic.
Thank you!!
Love it keep the build togethers coming
Will do!
That Festool notepad is probably the only thing I could afford under that name. That, and the $30 Festool pizza cutter they did a run of 🤣
So great!!!! Love everything about this
Great video you and Sam are great together looks like you two had a great time can’t wait to check out her video
Thank you!
Great video!!! I had a lot of fun just watching it! New scheme: info, fun, fun, fun, friends 😁😁😁
Fun pair of videos with 2 of my favorites... funniest part was the YT generated ads on Sam's video all being home improvement related and all the ones on yours being hair and skin care lol
Loved this video!
Thank you!!
Best video yet!! You two should definitely do more videos together!!
We will! For better or worse 😂
You’s two were hilarious together, you should definitely collaborate more.
We’re getting it on the to do list for sure!
Great video! I came from Sam's channel! 😂 Thank you!
Awesome! Thank you for coming by!
@diyhuntress Don‘t know if you just did it for the shot, but at 6:12 you probably would‘ve had it easier if you stood on the other side of the board, pressing it against the fence just like Eric in the shot before. Just a thought. Great project otherwise! 👍🏼
Great tips! 😃👍🏼👊🏼
Thanks Fred!
I fuckin' love this channel. Mr. Curtis, thank you for the constant inspiration in my life. I couldn't thank you enough, truly!
This was great. Just getting to see your natural selves.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow. You two are awesome together. Please do more videos together
Thank you! Will do!
You and Sam are perfect together!
Haha thank you!
Good video, really enjoyed it.
I’m so glad you did! Thanks
this was such a nice vid, as a small-shopper its cool to see the potential.
I'm curious if you've ever thought about doing a video on the books/resources you keep coming back to for learning/inspiration
That’s a great idea. I will keep that in mind for a future video 🙏
Thanks Erik and Sam
Very welcome!
Now is the time to make time to collaborate with other people that have good AC
I'm here front Sam's video and I am off to explore your channel.
Thanks for stopping by!
Erik, I’ve known about you and followed you on Instagram for years but you’ve always been a “supporting character” to other people I follow for some reason… there’s a lot of content out there, I guess. Sam’s video gave me the push to dive a little deeper and subscribe on TH-cam. I enjoyed this video, and your viewpoint on the project, and now I’ look forward to checking out more of your videos. If there was any doubt to the quality of your character, the people you surround yourself with speaks volumes; Sam, Amanda and Larissa are some of the best of the best when it comes to being good people who share their knowledge openly.
Sam, Amanda, and Larissa are three of my favorite people out there and I’m grateful to have them around! Appreciate you checking out the video and I’m glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Great video~!! Nonsense is a necessity. If you can't have fun doing it, then WHY do it?? Headed over to Sam's video now. 😀
Exactly!! Enjoy Sam’s video! It’s equally as absurd 😂
Doing something you love and have a passion for with a friend that shares can't be quantified. I think I followed her before you. She's just fun and fun to watch. She did a vid with Shara that was a blast to watch and about as much fun as this one. Side note, I watched Bakeover just because you were on it. Is that going to be a regular thing? Bar Rescue for bakeries and not enough of what you do but I get it's a baking show, not woodworking. Thanks for the video. Fun to watch
Okay, I don't know if they were called pocket holes at the time. But I have a walnut dining table with three leaves, that is at least 40 years old. The skirt is attached to the top ,looks like pocket holes . The holes might be slightly larger for movement, but they are " pocket holes".
We love this friendship 💙
So do we 😂
Great vid.
Thanks!
It’s beautiful
Thank you!
You guys nailed it - the 'fun' definitely came through! Let me ask you this - you said you can shellac almost any surface. Which surfaces would you NOT shellac?
Thank you! Yes MOST surfaces are fine… but not a waxed surface. There’s not much that will stick to a waxed surface. But you can dewax it through abrasion or with mineral spirits and then apply once dried.
@@ENCurtis Thank you for the reply! I appreciate you, and enjoy your vids - they make newbies like me feel less... 'newbie' :)
Please please make this a series dude 😂😂😂😂😂😂
** chef kiss **
perfectenschlaag
🤌🤌
I am now waiting to see you make a gallery piece with exposed pocket holes!
Bahaha I JUST made one with nails so challenge accepted!
thank you EN . i want to say i do enjoy your stuff . 71 oh thats how old i am
Thank you so much!
I’m pretty sure I’ve heard KAMALA HARRIS say now is the time to make time 😂
So, on the not worrying about removing pencil lines on a jointed face, on most pieces I make I do a little doodle on one of the joint faces (usually something very juvenile, you know what that means) just so my clients have a secret piece of art that they’ll never see or know about.
Never enough clamps.😂😂
Not a fan of pocket holes, I get for shop cabinets and even kitchen cabs but I don’t know I think there’s other joinery not only superior but can make a piece. I get it, sometimes but it depends
Everytime I see your name I laugh because the ENC was my bands mane in high school. Encrypted Nightmare Corporation.
Safety tip #1 on DIY tip #1. When ripping plywood you do “watch the rip fence” and keep material against the rip fence while ripping and yes be mindful of the blade you know where it is. But….be mindful of how far the blade protrudes beyond the top of your piece. It should not protrude more than 3/8” to a 1/2” . While Mr Curtis was ripping it was way too high. Also when Sam pushed the ply thru the table saw she was on the wrong side of the fence to affectively push. As you can see when she starts the leading edge starts to rise and then creates a “gouge” or “indention” in the cut. You can see it.
I figured out, that if pocket holes were something you had to hand cut, which they can be and used to be, then they would be more accepted. With all pocket holes created by all these various jigs. Now, having said they, pocket holes have been found in furniture over 100 years old.
I often think of corner blocks on the underside of old chairs. They are literally wedges that have been glued and toe nailed in. If they get used today they are considered lesser than-often by people who don’t understand the stresses of chair joinery. An interesting point. Perhaps something to build a future video around?
11:40 I think you kind of glazed over that the reason not to worry about sanding the pencil lines off is more about not creating dips in the surface that will make a gap than it is about the pencil lines not being seen. I hope that makes sense.
Yes indeed! You are absolutely correct.
This was so epicly funny and I was wanting some fresh woodworking content
We gotchu!
As someone who has done gig work.... you just made that Uber drivers day
MORTAZE IS A GENTLEMAN AND A SCHOLAR 😂
So if you had a small shop what equipment would you get first, i.e. table saw, jointer, planer ??
5X10 CNC, stroke sander, straight line rip saw should be a bare minimum to get a beginner going. 😅
I actually have a video on this very question, but in short I would say table saw, planer, and bandsaw will get you most of the way there
Is good. Is different.
Makers 46 for the win! (Hint: mix it 50/50 with Makers Cask Strength and it's nectar!)
Ooooh definitely trying that asap 🥃
That was a hoot! I've had experiences like that. Too bad they don't last very long - thankfully they don't last that long! LOL
Bahaha yes sad it doesn’t last longer but it’s definitely best for everyone! 😂
Festool notepad - $89.95 -- Hahaha
When you said the same person I was worried about the beard, luckily that doesn't seem to be the case.
And here I was just worried about @diyhuntress surviving a weekend with me 😂
Yello
YOLO
I can't do youtube woodworking videos. I don't have a beard and I'm not bald. I think a guy needs to be one or both of the above. ;)
😂😂 mandatory perhaps not but certainly the trend
@@ENCurtis Looking around, most of the hand tool guys and almost all of the tool restorers have beards, carvers almost all have beards. Whenever I grow a beard I look like I walked out of a spaghetti western and I don't want to scare people!
@@Handcarvedbyrandy 😂😂😂
So, where was the "Small Shop" aspect in those tips?
Well, typically small shops are limited in their machinery so breaking sheet goods down on a table saw is typical rather than using a circ saw on floor space that doesn’t exist. They’re typically limited in joinery choices so utilizing things like a biscuit joiner is typical. Sanding is applicable to everyone, shops big and small, and generally small shops don’t have large industrial surface sanders. That’s at least 6 of the tips right there.
@@ENCurtis I do understand your point, but, really, they were only general wood working tips. With a title like that, people would most likely expect them to be tips focused specifically on things to help a person deal with working in a small shop, not "heres how to sand a board properly". Thats not to say I didnt enjoy the video, it was a great video. I just feel like it should be titled more appropriately. Something like "Having fun with a friend" or "How to be childish in your 30s" ect. I doubt that you would get any less views for it not being a woodworking associated title, because i get the sense that most people watch your videos just because they enjoy watching you as a creator first and a woodworker second. And thats coming from someone that has only seen you on youtube and none of your other stuff. I dont know what your stats are like, but i am sure it wouldnt hurt your channel to post the occasional video of yourself in other aspects of your life just being you. but that is just my personal opinion, I dont know what your audiences main focus is.
Here’s a tip. Lower that saw blade. No more through the material than you’re willing to run into your hands. 1/8” is plenty. And yes I realize it’ll tear out slightly more on the bottom. Don’t care, what you’re doing is foolish and could cost you a hand.
It's cute that you think that's a small workshop...
It’s a one car garage. Around 200sqft. That is, by most all woodworking standards, a reasonably small shop.
If you're not using pocket holes, you won't have to hide em! #NoPocketHolesForMe
😂😂 no lie detected!
Get a room
Eric went to a he “Wha Wha in the xxxx, I said wha wha…”🤦🏼♂️🫡
To build with friends, you must first have friends 🥲
One might say that’s a necessary thing in life regardless of collabs!
