I must admit when I first watched this video I wanted to skip past the basics. I then realized I was never taught some of the most basic fundamentals. Thank You for a major attitude adjustment, not only in carpentry, but in life.
Been learning a lot about carpentry for a few months in random videos and took the plunge of starting this course. Wow, the basics blew my mind with how unprepared I am mentally. Thank you for what looks to be an excellent educational series - i cant wait to keep learning with you 😊
I know this is a couple of years old now, but I'd just like to say thanks for doing this 101 series of videos. For someone like me who has no experience, and doesn't know anyone with any either, I've found them extremely useful and particularly informative. The introductory knife work nicely dovetailed (see what I did there?) with the saw blade explanations. Also appreciated the sharpening section too. Again, thanks for the work you put into these videos.
I agree with a previous comment. I took wood shop in middle schooland dont remember these things taught. Your clas is excellent. You are a great teacher. I learned so much about how the tools interact with wood from this video.
As a beginner with a few dozen hours using various power tools while lacking fundamental knowledge, this education is highly informative and invaluable, thank you.
This dude explaining is mind blowing, you just find your self like "Wow, just Wow"... you just find yourself understanding these concepts so well. Thank you very much.
As a beginner I've been glued to TH-cam for the last year watching everything I can but to date your videos are the most instructive as you get to the bones of it all, or fibres if you prefer. You definitely get one thinking before the pick up the wood, good job
I have been using wood (on and off) for 50+ years, I know how chisels work. Had no intention of watching this video all the way through. Also had never considered how saw blades related to chisels. Watched the whole thing and learned a lot. Thank you.
I am a carpenter and not a wood worker. However, I have been playing with wood and tools for 20 years now. Still learning something new everyday. Thanks for the great lesson. I never made the connection between chisels and the other blades. You are awesome.
This really did join heck of a lot dots. I now realise the the difference between roughly understanding something and fully understanding it. Thank you.
I've been working with tools (non-professional) for decades. I knew about rip and cross-cut saws but now I know why they work the way that they do. Thanks for the lesson!!!
Great to have explanations of why things happen. Helps us beginners to understand the reason behind certain methods thus not repeat costly errors. thank you
Intended to just check this out to see if it's what I was after, ended up watching the whole thing and subscribing. From a new homeowner/father, this is exactly what I was looking for to start getting handy.
Two minutes into the video we're introduced to the most dangerous hand tool in the shop with a clear rule to never be broken. Two and half minutes into the video and we're shown how to break this rule. 10/10
I have learned so much by watching this video. I wish that I had you as a teacher when I was at school as I might have learned something. Looking forward to watching more of the series and your videos!
Good sir I would like to give you my sincerest thanks. I have learned more from you in the past couple days than I have in the last year, my dynamic is changing and now getting my hands on some more hand tools. Your method of teaching works wonders, thank you.
I like how started from a very basic concept. This is the best way to learn. I've been learning guitar but I didn't begin to make any progress until I found a new teacher who started from the foundation and who taught in small increments.
The angle of approach is excellent. Informative both verbally and in demonstration. Made efficient use of dialogue and the camera/editing is on point. Thanks for the effort!
I love the guy and this video. Thanks for making this. If I had any curiosity in carpentry, it has now turned into serious interest. I'm getting my first chisel and piece of wood tomorrow.
This should be compulsory viewing for all beginners to wood work. Myself I've invested in a $1000 first aid kit so I probably don't need to watch this series. Thanks for the time and effort to make these video' available to us, who do not know it all... Alf
I really like this so far. I wanted to take a woodworking class, but I couldn't find one. I hope this will teach me some things I can do with relatively inexpensive tools - I don't have the space or money for lathes and planers and stuff, but I have plenty of time to use hand tools. To be fair to the GMO mice, they don't spin spider webs. They make spider silk, but they don't spin it. That's much easier if you have 6 legs. ;)
Hye, i have to say that your voice is quite strong, but what you say and explain is really very interesting and seems to me a great value. Thanks ...for this excellent video and teaching

Wow!! Amazing classes!! Here Brazil we have so many kind of wood, but nobady understand the wood like that... and those who knows doesn´t teach. We don´t have those good chisel like you... always using old car peaces trying to find good steel and alnost making magic to forge the cut part of chisel. Thank you!
Thanks for the information....I've been woodworking for years and loved understanding why I've done the things I have, like turning the hand planer on cross cuts. I like making things out of dead tree corpses
awldune As stated in the description, like day one of a ms/hs woodworking class. Will try to record what classes I am teaching here before having to close down.
Excellent Video and thank you for taking the time to teach. How you explained the nature of wood and cutting it was fantastic and much needed if one is to become a woodworker. Ex. Ripping or crosscuts of wood and the results.Onto the Router bits one in your right hand is for crosscuts and the one in your left hand for ripping.
Thank you, that was a very interesting article. It was a pleasure leaning what Rip and cross cut were, I knewyslot of the stuff but one always learns something, and this was a goody. Thanks. Tom
Great video, I love the scientific and designer approach. I learned a lot and was entertained the whole time. I think this is the channel for me with my wood working adventures 👌
Hello mister. Thank you very much for your very informative video. However I think their are some mistakes with the triangle's maths. If the right angle' s sides measure x and 2x then the sharping angle is arctan(1/2) that is to say about 26.6°. For a 30° angle I think you need right angle's sides measuring x and x/tan (30°) = x*(squareroot(3) namely about 1.73x. This could explain some discrepancy using sharpening jigs... Best regards. Vincent from France.
A 30 degree angle ... you are close. Take a hypotenuse of 2 and a leg of 1 and that'll give you an exact 30 degree angle. The other leg will be square root of 2 or ~1.4142. Not getting hung up on technicalities, a very excellent introduction to woodworking.
Great video! I learned a ton about blade fundamentals. I'm thinking about my jigsaw blade and how easily it cuts cross-grain and slows on rip cuts... Now I know why! Thank You, I am a better woodworker because of this video. Looking forward to the rest in this series!
Ok, this was a really good video, actually these very basics and the explanation made me understand some terms better and also the results of some of my own projects ... mostly i need another saw! a cross cut saw to be exact... so yeah, 45min is a long time in today's world, but i am glad i took that time... also great you started here, i checked out some other basics 'starter' videos and i have a hunch they all start where you will go in the next one, skipping these proto basics i think is a miss, because this information was good ! ... tnx for sharing :)
Thanks, after February I'll be producing more of these classroom series. They just take me a long time to do and this month I'm attempting to get 28 (average 1 a day) for the month. Just posted a new one seconds ago.
thank you so much for this! I have been around wood and saws most of my life (my family is in construction) and I admit, I am just a simple amateur right now, but it is my dream to become a great woodworker. I have never really had the difference in blades explained, though I have used table saws, jigsaws, scroll saws, and miter saws extensively. I had noticed a difference in cutting, but never really thought about why. I look forward to watching your channel and will definetely be a supporter!
Brilliant :). However, there's something wrong with the 30-60-90 triangle. The sides are not x and 2x, rather x and root of 3 times x. Root of 3 is roughly 1.71, so a little bit less than 2. You were right about that intuition that bigger the side, the bigger the angle, that's true, however the proportion is not simply to the angle, but to the sine of the angle. It's the rule of three, but not with angles, but their sines. :)
@wortheffort - Hello, I'm not sure if your name was stated or not, perhaps I missed it... I have just a few notes (comments). > In the beginning of the vid (0:24-0:37) you put up a (list/index/table of content). GREAT inclusion!

Not something to be overlooked. > A bit about your tree GM (genetic modification) (~ 8:00) comments. 1. VERY CORRECT. Most trees, thus wood, [favorable to woodworkers anyway] will, 'likely', NOT be modified {themselves} by anyone, anytime soon. --- (When you said "we"... 8:20 - "Its doubtful WE will ever...", I assume you meant "WE" alive today... so in OUR lifetimes... ever see such change...) --- 2. Yes, and NO. "See" generations of these trees modified, beginning with 'these' trees > wood, probably not. What we may see are several possibilities... Genetics (existing or NEW) modifying OTHER plants. (Think the growth potential of, say, bamboo {which is a grass} [up to 3' of growth in 'height' per day] utilized in cross species, genus, family... breeding, splicing, GM'ing...) - This is one set of possibilities. - I would, and, did in fact continue, but to keep away from any "rabbit-holes" the current, and even that of this time (2015), allows even pessimists' imaginations to pragmatically - as crazy as your mouse example 8:14 to be made. 3. Somewhat in continuation with 2. What we may be "woodworking" years-(decades) down the road could be akin to factory grown fungi, additive layer material (1 ex. industrial 3D printing)...

NONETHELESS these words are for and because of you and your wonderful work which clearly extends far beyond your workbench(es). CHEERS
I do finishing Siding I work with wood saws chisels clamps table saws and many other tools I learned a ton from this video I never knew half of this stuff today I ask the guy I work if he knew about the different kind of rip cross cut saw and he said no and yet we do finish work who knew there was so much to learn
Great tutorial, the Chinese use the metric system (millimeters) because its more accurate as do we here in Australia. Apart from that I thoroughly enjoy your tutorials.
+PyroChimp75 I'm not convinced it's more accurate. Just different method of division. But luckily, doesn't matter in the end. The table you build doesn't know its metric or imperial.
+PyroChimp75 Really so my ruler has 1mm divisions which 25.4 of make an inch but the same ruler has 1/32 divisions 32 of which make an inch hmm and the metric is more accurate how? If i get out a micrometer or a vernier then either system is capable of equal accuracy but a standard 12" rule will always be more accurate in Imperial as the divisions available are smaller.
Do crosscut saws go by any other names? I've been looking for a decent handsaw set online, and nowhere have I found a set that includes "crosscut" saws. I've seen rip saws, but I haven't seen anything specifically named a cross-cut.
+KingofKirby01 I haven't heard of them going by another name though in the old days names where different. Nowadays we're kinda ignorant so many people mix up hand saw, panel saw, back saw, etc... I'd suggest looking to Lee Valley as they have great saw 'sets'.
Your cuts are so much smoother than mine. I am using "common board" from home depot. Does it mean my chisel is not sharp enough or is my wood just much harder than what you are using?
+Fahraynk chisels not sharp. In actuality the harder the wood the duller the chisel can be. The soft woods require a much keener edge to slice instead of crush fibers.
I really love the Video! Very helpful, however the hypotenuse is twice the length of x, not the side labelled 2x in the video. 60 is twice of thirty, but we must the sines of the angles and not the value of the angles themselves. This is because sin(a)/A=sin(b)/B=sin(c)/C. sin(60)/2x
This is the best 45 minutes I ever spent on TH-cam.
I must admit when I first watched this video I wanted to skip past the basics. I then realized I was never taught some of the most basic fundamentals. Thank You for a major attitude adjustment, not only in carpentry, but in life.
i agree ... he talk about the detatils very good !
The opening scrap wood and chisel exercise has just earned you a subscriber! This is what I call teaching!

That's the way we do it here. Breaking all the rules.
I stay the whole time in your lesson given here. I can sincerely say that I learned something this evening. I will continue to watch and learn.
That's good.
You are incredible. Thank you very much for putting this out for free. It’s greatly appreciated. Your the man. Thanks again.
Thanks

Thanks, It was a trick question. They're both flat so both are rip. You get the burning from cutting end grain (crosscutting).
at first i was like. "45 minuts damn"
but i ended up watching the hole thing. Usefull stuff.
thanks for taking the time to do this
Thanks
Thank you for being so enthusiastic and detailed!
Thanks
Loved the video. I will see it and share others whenever possible. God bless.
Thanks
has all 10 fingers, seems legit
I'd just like to say how clever I think your channel name is. Worth the effort, in as little phrasing as possible.

A great video. Brilliant way of teaching. Realy helpfull. Impressed
Thank you very much for this great tutorial - I loved it. You inspire confidence.
what till you see the series I'm planning for the beginning of 2020.
Thanks for posting this video. Really looking forward too this series
This was very informative and well presented. Thank you for the information. I'll be continuing to watch and learn.
Chapter four is coming in the new year. Finishing up 3 now.
Excellent information and presentation, I learned A-lot.
Thanks
These videos are awesome and incredibly helpful! Thanks
Thanks
Very simple, very good! Just wonderfull ! Thanks for the videos!
you are awesome at explaining these things. I learned a ton, thanks =D
I'm happy that I found this video
Thank you very much
Thank you very much for the fundamentals of wood working!
Great teacher! Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Thanks
Awesome class ! Got a lot from it...

Very informative. I think the router bits are both for rip cut,. I think you should always rotate the bit down the grain?
Correct
I have spent months studying building sheds and discovered a fantastic resource at Wilfs Shed Formula (check it out on google)
Great tutorial, the Chinese use the metric system (millimeters) because its more accurate as do we here in Australia. Apart from that I thoroughly enjoy your tutorials.
+PyroChimp75 I'm not convinced it's more accurate. Just different method of division. But luckily, doesn't matter in the end. The table you build doesn't know its metric or imperial.
nekit1234007.deviantart.com/art/Imperial-vs-Metric-344353469
+PyroChimp75
Really so my ruler has 1mm divisions which 25.4 of make an inch but the same ruler has 1/32 divisions 32 of which make an inch hmm and the metric is more accurate how?
If i get out a micrometer or a vernier then either system is capable of equal accuracy but a standard 12" rule will always be more accurate in Imperial as the divisions available are smaller.
you can go down to nano and picometers which of even more smaller than anything you can get in imperial, horses for courses~
Man, if y'all are measuring that small your dovetails must fit like pistons...
super informative - thanks for the video!
These videos have helped so much!
Thanks
Are they router bits? Are they burnt because of the speed of the tool… motor speed of the router?
Do crosscut saws go by any other names? I've been looking for a decent handsaw set online, and nowhere have I found a set that includes "crosscut" saws. I've seen rip saws, but I haven't seen anything specifically named a cross-cut.

Your cuts are so much smoother than mine. I am using "common board" from home depot. Does it mean my chisel is not sharp enough or is my wood just much harder than what you are using?
+Fahraynk chisels not sharp. In actuality the harder the wood the duller the chisel can be. The soft woods require a much keener edge to slice instead of crush fibers.
Great great video! Thanks!
Thanks
I really love the Video! Very helpful, however the hypotenuse is twice the length of x, not the side labelled 2x in the video. 60 is twice of thirty, but we must the sines of the angles and not the value of the angles themselves. This is because sin(a)/A=sin(b)/B=sin(c)/C. sin(60)/2x
Great tutorial
