"We all have our vices, and this is the woodworker's" was an absolutely incredible line.
its even funnier when you realise thats a whole rabbit hole you could go down as well
Not to mention "I've saved the boring tools for the bitter end."
Tools have had such an impact on our language, there are so many metaphors and puns in our language "toolbox" it's amazing, and this line hit the nail on the head when it comes to that.
@@rubenskiii😂😂
@@trublgrlRan to the comments to make the same point.
Bro got 15 years experience in 2 years, mans a legend
"The boring tools to the end", I see what you did there 😂
Jaysus lad, the excitment and enthusiasm for tools in this video is contagious, made me feel like going down my local screwfix and clearing the shelves
Oh, you're right! Nice catch on the "boring tools"😊
I think "bitter end" might be a pun as well
No 30-minute intros. No yelling at us to "LiKe aNd sUbScRiBe aNd hIt tHe bElL IcOn". No umms and ahhhhs. Just a man who loves his craft, does it well, and wants to share it with the world in an entertaining format that's a joy to listen to. :D Well done sir. :D
You are super talented if you are just two years into woodworking, seriously. Respect from a fellow German carpenter
Great video as always!
I LOVE this guy's shorts, and now he's saving my woodworking class final, thank you
I already own a bunch of hand tools and know all the basics but I still watched anyway. Your videos are always very enjoyable to watch.
Eion you are grinding out videos. That’s what it takes. We all love the videos. Keep it up with a happy balance of your own life. One of my favorite videos is when you and you friend went out out in the boat and talked about men’s mental health. Please keep those videos in mind. I’ve lost a few Military friends to suicide and I think more men should talk about mental health issues with our friends. ❤
ONLY 2 SUMMERS AGO?! I've been assuming you've been doing this since you were a young lad! Your work is amazing and inspiring ^_^
Our woodwork teacher in high school also pushed us to always use non-mechanical tools, pick up the principles etc. and it was a great approach
Ikr, I figured he had at least a decade of experience. He’s just so adept with all the antique tools….he’s only 21
I absolutely thought this was generational knowledge he grew up with. Phenomenal.
using hand tools teach how to use power tools, to not abuse drills and drill bits, a jigsaw and a table saw or hand saw
the same with sanding inñf you are not accostumed to hand tools and how they work with power tools youre gonna be a mess
Hey from south africa ! 🇿🇦 you're the reason I've started carpentry, recently got my hands on some saws, chisels and a collection of Stanley planes and it's genuinely unlocked a passion i never knew i had!
My dad is a carpenter by trade and I love it as well. Ive been watching your videos for a year now and absolutely love the old ways of wood working. Im into axe throwing now and am about to start my handle building/bit profiling journey the old fashioned way. You are a true inspiration to the old minded young fellas. Much respect sir. Keep up the good work. cant wait to get started!
I've been crudely building wood furniture my whole life. I have to admit, there is an undeniable urge to attempt to make my own mallet now but it wouldn't get the use its intended for.
Do it!
That doesn't matter. Build one!!
It's a nice project and it might kick-start something!!
Search" impossible mallet "if you fancy a challenge!
My dad would have loved to have seen this. I remember messing around with his planes and chisels. It probably drove him nuts. Beautiful tools 😊😊
Thanks for having the good sense to NOT assume those of us starting out already have table saws, band saws, planers, or routing tables, or the budget to acquire them (are you listening TH-camrs?). Collecting a sensible selection of hand tools that don't break the bank has always seemed a good way to go. I particularly like that you made your own mallet. Keep up the great work.
"*Bore*ing tools for the *bit*ter end"
Hats off to you, mate 😂
you inspired me to start carving my own shit and my grandpa just gave me an auger with a winch handle and a hand drill. You’re right about it being much more satisfying its just indescribably cerebral. Love ya bud
No.5 handplane is my most used size so I guess I'd call it my favorite. I started with a No.4 years ago but that size hardly gets used anymore. Having large hands could also be a personal factor with me for choosing the larger plane, it's more comfortable as well as having a longer more useful soul without being too big for some things.
The No.5 I use most is a pre WW1 Stanley I restored, great plane.🙂
My old man and also my old woodworking teachers reckon that it's best to learn the skills w hand tools first before you go on to using power tools on the regular. I'm inclined to agree.
Plus hand tools are just so much more therapeutic and relaxing to use
Great stuff. Entertaining, well informed and to the point. A video on making workbenches would be fun. A lot of the ones I've seen are completely OTT with inches thick hardwood slab tops etc, which is not practical (or remotely necessary) for everyone!
I love that you put a list in the description.
I don't know how many videos I've seen where people list off things you need, and you have to go back through at the end to write them down. Whether it be for a project or even recipes, item lists are golden. Cheers mate.
I'm a 33 yo woman and I have no interest in doing woodworking, but I love these videos for some reason
You’re like a younger , better looking , more talented version of me.
Love your channel brother, keep up the good work.
I have watched you latly as a 55 year old mason from kilkenny all i can say is if u keep interested you will be an artist soon you are a class act
I live in the states and do construction work so power tools, skill saws, nail guns, and impact drivers are in my hands every day, but these hand tool woodworking videos you make are super cool and interesting to watch, got me wanting to try it out on the side lol
On the Neary side of my family, who all came over to the states from County Mayo, had a love for woodworking and brought that skill set with them. You're from a different era, my friend. It's nice to see someone so young keep these traditions alive.
curious to know if you’ve ever tried Japanese saws! i know you have a great set of tenon and dovetail saws, but i wonder how you’d get on with a ryoba.
i’ve found that the pull saw approach is great for those of us with less strength and it definitely helps with accuracy. another carpenter channel i follow (Shoyan carpenter) often pulls out the handsaws to do tricky cuts and it’s always a showcase in how hand tools are sometimes faster and easier than something like a jigsaw, when in the hands of a skilled craftsman
👏 brilliant 😊 thanks again🎉😊
Honestly a miter box for a hand saw is good.
Good to get used to holding the angle of a miter joint/cut.
This might be my favorite video you have done. You educate elegantly and it doesn’t feel like anything more than old friends catching up. Also, your passion is contagious. Keep up the good work!
Lad, I’m American but I love saying that ! Lol one more thing dividers are good at and that’s dividing! Great video!
I didn't see the notification for this, but thank you for this upload!
Definitely saving this to a playlist so I can refer back to it anytime I'm at an auction house and see tools on display 👍
I love this and love using the hand tools as it really helps to have that knowledge before starting in with power tools. Less mistakes
Every woodworker youtuber i wash always say you dont need fancy tools to make something. And this one just proves it!
What a great video I agree with you that the list of starter tools was a good one !
Hey PBS grab this guy. He'll be a big hit on Saturday mornings.
I took a construction class years ago in high school and it was me and another girl and I didn’t care. I loved it. I got to build myself a CD case holder. I still have it and I am proud of it. I am into nostalgia and I hope to one day get myself an antique 1920 Singer Sewing Machine with the foot pedal. He f course there many other things I enjoy. This is just one of them.
Keep the videos coming. By the way, this is truly a hobby for you that took off. You have been doing this for about 2-3 years now and are this professional. Wow! Thank you for sharing your knowledge to the world. It is very precious.
-Audrey Meyer
I'm just a beginner. I have half these tools but a lot I thought were just for show - stuff from my grandparents etc, looking tatty and blunt and useless, or so I thought until I saw your videos and thought about doing them up. So thank you for the inspiration and the lessons!
(FYI we aren't all lads here...)
Take it as a compliment. You're hanging with the boys. 😁 Btw. Woodworking doesn't care about gender. 😑
THANK YOU. You made this very simple and easily digestible.
I believe I can manage to forge a fair few of these myself. Got some pretty decent chisels made up already!
I was getting RIGHT confused looking into what I need for a basic tool set. Thanks a ton, cheers!
Brother you have developed your skills extremely quick. That’s awesome. Got craftsmanship in your blood, no doubt.
I've built 3 or 4 mallets, & recently made a couple handles for small ball peen hammers. There's definitely something about making your own simple tools.
Great video, very helpful
I agree about the diamond stone, I bought a similar one and it's the best purchase I ever made for my toolkit.
Thank you! Your videos have made me want to try woodworking, I did it briefly in school but I didn't really get on with my teachers teaching method, but I really enjoy watching your videos and this one is very helpful
Good list! There are several tools folks can make instead of buying beyond just a mallet. Squares and marking gauges are both things that can be made fairly easily and quickly. You can also make squares fairly easily.
Top tip - if you are using a blade like a stanley knife for marking out, drag it backwards, with the tip on the wood. That will mark a scratch, and there is less chance that the blade with 'follow the grain' rather than the line you are trying to mark.
I've been on the hunt for hand tools recently. They are great and quiet!!
Your videos teach me a few more things here and there and I love it. Big thank you for sharing this knowledge so openly to us. It's wonderful seeing you enjoying your craft so much and it's truly lighting the fire to refine my own
Tip for anyone strapped for cash wanting to get into this, you don't need any fancy marking gauges, at least not just starting out. A tape measure, a pencil, and something to write on, and you can transfer measurements and mark boards just fine
You can also make a marking gauge really easily by screwing together two pieces of wood and pushing a steel nail through as a scribe. Making an adjustable gauge is pretty simple too.
A gauge line is better than a pencil line as it gives a register for chisels and a distinct stop for planing.
Been getting into woodworking and your content is very inspirational! I've picked up a bunch of tools you've shown in this video from local antique and collector shops, all short money
Ever since I discovered wood working TH-cam channels I thought "Well I kinda wanna get into wood working but, not until I have my own place.... and if I have my own place.. it'd be an apartment. So I can't use power tools, they're too loud... Well maybe I can do all wood working with hand tools?"
I'd see certain wood workers on youtube use planes or chisels occasionally. But 9 times out of 10 the work was done on a table saw or something similarly loud and big.
I'm surprised it took me like a year to find this channel. I'll have to remember this video once I get an apartment.
I think this is the only “10 tools you need for woodworking” video I’ve ever seen that dmmdntiins anything to do with sharpening and looking after your tools!
Finally a video on this topic that actually has any relevance and good info.
Shame on all this “big name” and “popular influencer”
Channels that are now just infomercials and a waste of time!
I´d recommend framed saws. The great advatage is that you just have to bey the saw blade (they´re pretty cheap) and you can build the frame yourself from some scrap wood. You can build big ones to dimension rough wood or small ones, for example a coping saw or a small one with fine teeth to cut fine joints.
What a wondeful man
Tara (Niagara area Canada) - Greetings. I inherited a lot of tools from my dad and can't wait to set them into my shop and get back to the more manual side of the craft.
spot on, the only power tools I used on my current project was a table saw because when ripping a board to width I cannot keep a straigt line.
Sir i would fight for your right to be crowned king of ireland. You're some boy 🖖✊😎
Really love watching you work!
Thank you!!! This is the question I've been wanting to ask you, but was honestly a bit embarrassed.
I can recommend the spear and Jackson saws - they are not pretty, but they come sharp and can be sharpened. The handles are rubbish, but since we are woodworkers, we can make our own.
Great video Eoin
Very informative video and you explained everything beautifully.
Love your videos! Very inspirational. Cheers lad!
Thank you for you video's. I never thought of using a screw driver bit in a brace.
This is video is perfect. Thank you!
Love your videos, you’re a natural talent in both woodworking and entertaining!
Great advice. Wish I saw this video 5 years ago. I have a spare room full of hand tools. I went a bit nuts buying them.
Great video lots of love from Canada 🇨🇦
Great video. And an impressive tool chest sitting there. Thanks for sharing.
Love the content I just bought my first Stanley no 5
👏👏👏👏 Very good. I am a very proud Texan but DANG I wish we had y'all's accent here🤣🤣🤣
I asked about this particular video. I found it. Thanks!
2 summers ! Surely you jest my man! Well clearly you found something you love to do. The passion is infectious. Also love the shorts and the focus on hand powered tools! Gives your videos a uniqueness in a space filled with people making stuff. Also the accent doesn't hurt! I'm not going to be surprised if Eoin ends up on Tv with a show or something! 😅
just got the no 7 plane.... jesus, for ppl without workshop this thing is a must have.
Your content is always grand but your video making skills have been elite lately! Carry on brother
Great video! Thank you
The thumbnail for this video is immaculate
This looks like such a great hobby
Really helpful.. thanks for this.
Thank you for the awesome video!
You inspired me to start woodworking. I just ordered some tools off amazon!
This are good tips, thanx❤❤❤
💐 Thanks for sharing such a useful video
Thank you so much for all the information. You make great videos!! Keep up the good work :)
Who's here just because you love listening to him talk ❤❤❤
Thanks for the video.
love your content! thank you mate
On marking and measuring tools; Buying a cheap thing then upgrading is perfectly acceptable and I'd say advisable since you always need one at hand and that one has just buggered off when you sat it down so having another one is a brilliant idea.
very helpful, thanks mate
Ah nice mate. I definitely wouldn't have thought you were a greenhorn. Excellent segway into a great activity
Great video, thanks 👍
Good man Eoin, lovein the passion.
Thank you for all the information! What a great vid!\
Word of warning, the tool buying and restoration does not stop at 15! Still great to have plenty of choice in the workshop
Great stuff
1:30 also good exercise and less stress on the body (vibration from power tools flows into the lower back, which will eventually make one regret the long term use)
You are awesome young guy!👍👍👍.
I have been seeing you on IG and Facebook I think. I like your videos. Interesting to learn you haven't been doing this for a lot longer. Keep up the entertaining videos. I have been collecting old tools for a long time. I love fixing them up and using them when I can. No expert but really love hand tool woodworking. I just need more projects. lol
It is funny you mention the no.5 Stanley. That was my first plane. Bought it for 25 canadian. It was a restoration.
Good job … entertaining!
Nice one Eoin
Very nice good information
im the doing the jc project at the moment this helped lad
