Great advice Wayne. New woodworkers are very impressionable and when big name creators tell them "you need these 6 things", many take it as gospel. And many of them don't even know if they will enjoy the hobby or not. As for the safety discussion, I am with you. You need to know how to safely use the tool regardless of what safety features the tool has. I built my table saw. But that was a risk that I was willing to take because I have worked with table saws since my high school woodworking classes 30+ years ago. My shop teacher and my dad instilled in me that those tools are dangerous and need to be respected. New woodworkers need to realize that a SawStop is a great tool but it does absolutely NOTHING to prevent a kickback if you are using that saw in an inappropriate manner. Thanks for making this video. I hope it gets the traction and attention it deserves.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting! I completely agree about the need to respect the tool. When I worked in my father's shop he would tell me "Don't be afraid the tool, but show it that you respect it". You do that by following proper safety procedures.
Spot on about the circular/track/ table saw issue! Have had the circular saw for decades, picked up a track system. Can’t imagine using that to make 20 2” inch strips. Use the table saw every day, the track has been used for one purpose, cut down plywood panels. And that could have been done by clamping a level and using the circular saw. Great content. I would recommend a light to eliminate the hat shadow. 😁
"Anyone can do this hobby." Yep! Great topic, nice job. My advice for new woodworkers is to learn new skills and techniques for the tools you already own. If you're truly starting from zero, which is not likely, buy a hand saw, corded power drill, and a doweling jig. You'll be amazed what you can build with those basic tools and S4S lumber from big box stores like Poplar.
Agreed. Learning how to build a good box is the most foundational woodworking skill I can think of. It is what my dad would have me doing when he brought me into the shop.
@@BassadorWoodworking That's a good way to get a young one involved. Boxes and birdhouses made of pine planks are wonderful. They teach measurement, basic joinery and can be fast projects. Even if they come out sloppy they can serve purpose. Bad boxes can become useful sorting bins and birds never complain. God bless.
Also makerspaces are a thing, I'm lucky enough to have access to one and have a few hand tools of my own as well (a couple chisels and a smoothing plane) for home use. But the makerspace is an absolute godsend, mine has a fully kitted out woodshop, and the membership is only $80 a month, free for university/CC students.
This video potentially saved me 300$ just from piquing my interest. Found the tool I wanted to buy and it comes with lathe tools, a Jacobs Chuck, and a sander. The lathe tools is primarily where the savings comes from, but still. Amazing deal.
As far as used tools I believe that many tools are being sold at prices too high. But if your have the ability to drive down and pick it up and your handy enough to fix the tools you can find good opportunities. remember there are many tools that are being sold by person that inherited the tools but have no idea how to use them so don't count on them to tell you if it is complete. Do your homework.
Absolutely, good advice! I will often see tools listed on FB Marketplace for well over their retail price. Just yesterday I saw a finish sander listed for $140 which is more than double the price of that sander new 🤣. I have found that as long as you are respectful and provide reasonable justification- people will usually come down on their price and you can get good deals. Like you said, do your homework.

I have a light mounted to the camera cart for exactly that purpose, but had it turned off 🤣

Excellent advice!
I waited years before investing in any cordless tools, I never trusted a single battery platform.
Great video, so much truth in it
Thank you for watching and commenting!
Love it! plain and simple advice!
Thank you for watching and commenting!
Hand saw and hammer. Make boxes. Then coping saw and corded drill. Make just about any small project.
Agreed. Learning how to build a good box is the most foundational woodworking skill I can think of. It is what my dad would have me doing when he brought me into the shop.

This is an amazing addition and could be its own video! Makerspaces are an excellent resource that I completely neglected to mention. Thank you!
