I needed this. Thanks for the content. As a single dad with two special needs children woodworking is my only means of income. Worry about nothing pray about everything.
Keep going bro!
Joel, I appreciate your straightforward, “regular guy”, lack of music approach to video. I wish you success in your woodworking.
I appreciate that! Thanks for watching.
I have been a woodworker for 50 years and I thought what can this rookie teach me, wow was I wrong. Your points were spot on. I see so many TH-camrs with all the latest expensive tools, so to hear you say buy used was great. Oh, and I love pine too. Well done .
Wow, that's amazing to hear. Thanks!
Been wood working for 40 years and everything you said was on point.
Wow! That's so encouraging. Thanks
I don’t do woodworking but I feel like these points are gonna just make me a better person in life in general.
You make me want to be a better person.
This guy wins best comment
As a new woodworker with a new shop, I was definitely caught up in the TH-cam latest greatest tool hysteria until I realized most of these guys were sponsored by tool companies. No issues with that at all, it’s good to make a buck, but your common sense and honest approach is refreshing! And you’re a fellow Canadian! 🇨🇦 Keep up the great work 💪
Thanks man! 💪🇨🇦
Great tips Joel. I’ve been woodworking for over 40 years and agree w/ everything on your list. Never stop learning (that’s why I watched your video). I’d add a 6th item: build your skills by making shop “furniture.” Stands, carts, extension tables, drawers, etc. Designing and building shop furniture is a great skill-builder while reducing the risk of failure/ criticism. You’ll also likely learn how to fix mistakes. Since we all make mistakes, knowing how to fix them, or make them less noticeable is a valuable skill. You have an excellent presentation style, that lots of TH-camrs lack. Best wishes for success in your making & content creation journey.
Thanks very much! Great tip. I love building shop furniture.
Good for you. I've been woodworking over 35 years professionally and now as a hobby. You will not find anything more rewarding than building nice pieces either for yourself or for a living. Enjoy it my friend
Absolutely. Thanks!
Great content and really high quality video production and sound. This channel is going places!
Thanks dude
I've been woodworking since before your time. All I can say is you did good kid.
Absolutely spot on re. Pine. It's a beautiful and versatile wood. Saying it's bad is just plain ignorant. Many incredible pieces of historic architecture and furniture have been built from pine wood.
Well said!
@@williamswoodntoolsPerfectly spoken William
You seem like a solid ****ing dude and I love the humility. All the best! ✌️
You win for best comment. Thanks!
@@williamswoodntools I love guys who their first videos will lay down that we're all starting out. Trolls will troll you but their is lots to learn even from novices
In shop class in highschool I built my first ever table out of pine. I still have it and use it! :)
Yes!! This is what I’m talkin about
Joel, this is really good. You seem sincere and honest. Your delivery is refreshing compared to so many TH-cam channels that seemed to focus on selling stuff. Good luck with your channel.
Thank you!
Hi Joel, great segment! I appreciate your common sense approach and honesty.
I appreciate that!
Great tips, especially using pine, I use pine for everything!! Sells good and great product.
Good tips. A word about pine, though: I recommend using a wood conditioner before you stain pine. This will virtually eliminate uneven staining and ensure a good, consistent color.
Yeah that's good advice. I've tried the wood conditioner a few times and am still not sure if I like it. You're right that it provides a more even stain but I find it takes away some of the natural look of the wood. The stain definitely stains differently. Maybe it depends on the application/type of furniture and what you're going for. Or maybe I was using it wrong!
#1 - If you don't spend money, you'll spend time and patience acquiring those tools, rapairing them, instead of e.g. learning and working.
Other than that detail, priceless tips! Thx!
Great point. For me, I love fixing tools and learning how they work. But for most, perhaps more of a hindrance to actual woodworking. Thanks for watching!
Man, I’m so glad I ran across you! Finally, a common sense approach to woodworking!
I'm so glad you ran across me too! Thanks man, keep it simple...
Very good points, especially about pine wood. I love pine and easy to finish. Good luck with your channel. 🇨🇦💝👍
Thanks 🇨🇦
great video, great length, and genuinely enjoyed your thoughts
Glad to hear it!
Great video. I’ll be watching for more. Thanks.
Thanks very much.
Great content and quality. Subscribed!
Thanks!
Good advice
Glad you think so!
Well said, I’m a beginner but fortunately have access to lots of equipment and space. I sort of get overwhelmed with making sense of it all.
Learning tools takes time. Get good at one, then focus on learning another.
Even after woodworking over fifty years as a hobby and professionally, I find your tips are spot on. There is always new info to learn. One extra tip; when staining pine, first apply a sanding sealer to avoid uneven stain absorbsion. Thanks again!
That’s awesome. Thanks for watching and for the tip!
Hello from across the pond. Great tips man. I’m 49 and just starting out. Well put, no BS and genuine. Just subscribed. Cheers fella 😊
Thanks! Cheers
Good tips Joel. Hopefully your channel will catch on.
Thanks! Me too
Good video, and spot on regarding finding a mentor able to give directions for a project.
It's a bit of a lost art in this digital age. Glad you resonated with that and thanks for watching!
Great tips. Awesome that you recognize how fortunate you are to have a great mentor. I just really got started seriously before Christmas with some logging trucks, a front end loader and a chess board with drawers. They turned out great and I had loads of fun. Now I’m hooked. I’m so envious of your mentor situation but that probably won’t happen for me based on where I live. So I lean heavily on people like yourself for inspiration. I’ve learned so much and I’m spending more and more time in my shop. I’ve got some nice tools and built lots of cool jigs. My wife even insisted I buy a planer. I love it. So versatile.
Thanks.
Buy a planer!!
WOW! I am very impressed with how far you have come in such a short period of time. Way to go. I’m an old guy that has dabble with woodworking over the years but never was very good at it. I’ve been retired for a while and moved to a house that has more room so I have been wanting to get serious about this hobby. You inspire me.
Oh, and the quality of your videos are top notch. 👍
Thanks very much! My video guy is very talented. Hope you find some big tools to fill up that extra room!
Great advice. I’m just starting as a hobbyist but would like to do as a side hustle.
That’s how I got started!
Great tips as a new woodworker you are totally right it’s easy to get overwhelmed what tools to buy. I’ve done that everything I have bought has been used and I’ve been able to get a lot more stuff. Need to work on dust collection now more than anything.
Awesome! I've spent a lot of time learning and working on dust collection. Send me a note if you have any questions. Planning a dust collection tips video down the road.
Thank you so much I may take you up on that
Thanks for this. Your points really resonate with where I'm at right now! I also purchased the Finishing book as that's my biggest weakness right now.
Awesome!
I subscribed after watching this video. Excellent video and great advice. Looking forward to watching more of your videos and learning from your channel.
Thank you!
You have quite the setup for a person new to woodworking. Good tips. It's cool that these tips are coming from someone that is still learning and using the tips to better his skills and shop.
Thanks!
Thanks man. This stuff helps a lot.
Great to hear! Thanks
Helpful information. Thank you!
You're welcome!
Imagine! Talk to a human being who is better than you to learn. Love it! Keep it up
Haha... a lost art in my generation, unfortunately.
Great vid, some solid tips.
Thanks bro.
Great video...keep it up!
Thanks!
Thanks mate. Great info!
Thank YOU!
Solid tips boss. Totally agree.
That's great to hear! Thanks
Love your video. Keep going!!
Thanks, very inspiring
I'm glad! Thanks for watching.
Subscribed! Looking forward to more videos
Thanks!
So good, thx
Hey Joel, it’s good to see another woodworker from Ontario on TH-cam. Keep up the good work.
Awesome! Thanks 🇨🇦
Just started wood working and it’s a challenge because I’m trying to be accurate and efficient( efficient is a hard word for me as of now) but I do take things day by day and try to understand what I need to cut down on time. Recently I got an affordable table saw and man have I been missing out. Like you said get the stuff that will help you out.
You got it!
Spot on mate. I've just started the journey and loving it. I'm using pallets that I get for nothing. Also I have a couple of contacts that have joinery businesses, and have been able to get useful off cuts from them. So my material costs are very low. Building a large movable workbench was one my first main things to do. Its a game changer.
That’s awesome! Thanks for watching
Hi Joel I just watched your video and I think I found the weakness in my shop….. it’s me. I used to do the same thing as you. ( making furniture). But in my advanced years I’m only making small projects now. I wish you luck in your business.
Thank you! Keep going!
Great advice, especially buying used tools and working your way up. I’ve found there’s less of a risk doing that, you can figure out how to use the tool for awhile and get an idea what you need to upgrade to next. More than likely after a few years you’ll get your money back if not more than you paid.
That's actually a great point. If you "buy low", there's almost no risk, because you can just resell it for the same price if you don't want it. I don't think I've ever sold a used tool for less than I paid for it; almost always quite a bit more. It's an effective method for levelling up your shop if you're willing to put in the work travelling around to pick tools up.
Great video! I agree 100% with the second tip! I personally think pine is great for a lot of tasks. It’s so nice to work with and cost effective. Keep up the videos👍🏼
Thanks! Glad to hear.
Hello from PEI 🇨🇦. Great tips! It’s about 3 years since I got into woodworking as well.
Awesome! Thanks for watching.
Good tips, all of them.
Thanks!
Great video. Well said.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Solid content pal.
New sub earned.
Much appreciated!
I’ve been in the business for fifty years. I think you’re mostly spot on with your points they’re articulate and thoughtful.
In my business we use sugar pine, short leaf pine, and eastern white pine. I gotta say, pine is tough on tools. Especially the short leaf because it’s pitchy and hard. I favor poplar for structure and paintability. Fine furniture of course requires other choices.
#4. A bandsaw isn’t a vanity tool. I think with a few more years experience, and some use, you might realize the bandsaw is often a better tool than your table saw. Otherwise, your rule is a really good one!
#5 150% yes. I’ve had a few amazing mentors in my career. I hope you get the chance to return the favor someday!
I really enjoyed this video. Subbed and look forward to watching more.
Great points. You're right about pine being tough on the tools, and yeah, I think I haven't even scratched the surface when it comes to using a bandsaw. I have lots more to learn on it. Thanks again!
Look forward to some build videos.
B
Great video you will go far in this you do understand when and how to buy equipment most go broke right off the bat we all love the tools but you got to love the work first and I loved the shop video as well
Thanks!
Get your wood from a local sawyer. Even thought its in board foot you save over buying wood at HD and Lowes that sell it by the linear ft and its usually much better quality. They should have furniture grade pine to which is nice to work with for frames and a lot of people love the look of pine. :)
Good advice. When I move, that's one of the first things I'll be looking for.
I'm with you on the sanding, I hate it! And it really slows me down. Good tip.
It’s the worst!
Pine isn't a bad wood. Just realize its weaknesses. It has a lot of knots unless you buy the more expensive species. Knots bleed through paint without solid primers. Pine is soft and dents easier than other woods. Recognize this and get used to dings when your projects get used. Pine has a lot of sap. You will need to clean your blades more often when using pine. Once you understand and except these drawbacks pine isn't bad. All of the pluses you mentioned are valid, just recognize the drawbacks. I like using maple but it is more expensive.
Very well said, totally agree.
Awesome few videos! Fellow Ont woodworker here. You are very well established for 3.5 years! Hope to see more videos when you land in the new spot! Any closer to London way??
Thanks! We actually almost moved to London... but it turns out our path has led us to Thunder Bay. More on that soon!
Your video are amazing
Thanks!
Just getting started myself. Used tools and also used cabinets and counters/work space is getting me off the ground. Also beginning to hone my skills with pallet wood to keep initial costs down. It can become an expensive hobby quick!
Oh yeah! It’s not a cheap hobby, but that’s the right way to do it. Keep going!
I agree with your points on used tools and pine. For finishing, I personally prefer satin finish in a wipe on lacquer for interior projects and oil based spar urethane on exterior projects.
Thanks for the insight. I used spar on a patio table a couple years ago. I think I should’ve added a few more coats cuz it didn’t hold up very well.
Like another commentator, I’ve been woodworking for a long time. At least 45 years. I’d like to add a few comments
You present your videos in such a humble way. No preaching, no pushing
If you buy used power tools, you need to check motors and bearings. You can change these but it takes effort and money
If you buy used hand tools, be careful. Old steel in chisels may be soft (sharpens easily but blunts quickly) or very hard ( hard to sharpen but keeps its edge).
Sharpen, sharpen and sharpen. For all blades, you must keep them sharp. Learning to sharpen is an early skill to learn
Pine is fine but it is full of resin. You must clean that resin off your blades regularly.
Patience. The hardest skill for me to learn. Don’t do woodworking if you are not in the right frame of mind; don’t do it when you are tired. Because that’s when mistakes and injuries happen.
Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. That’s all about keeping your designs simple. I can make almost any joint I want but I rarely do because they don’t add to the design, they usually subtract.
The right finish is absolutely the winning touch. Choose the right finish and it will lift your project from the okay to the great. My go-to finish for indoor projects is hard wax oil- but the one coat 2 pack variety. I think it’s by far the best choice on any shop that doesn’t have a dedicated finishing room - like most, I don’t.
That 2 pack element means that the surface can handled (albeit with some care) within an hour. So, I can move it out of the way quickly and get on with something else. It also means that shop-borne dust doesn’t contaminate the surface. That’s a real winner
The one coat means exactly that. You only need one coat to achieve a great finish. I see some apply 2 and that’s fine but it doubles the cost.
The hard wax oil penetrates the surface of the timber giving a more durable finish. You put it on thin and then scrub it in. A little goes a long way.
Cost. Let’s assume labour is not in the calculation (but it would be if you are doing this for an income). The hard wax oil that I use covers 55sq m per litre when applied as I do. Forget the price you pay per litre; just calculate the actual price per sq m. Something might be cheap to buy but you need 3 coats and it doesn’t spread easily.
Maintenance. Hard wax oil is not for external pieces usually. Hard wax oil is not as durable as a polyurethane finish but, unlike polyurethane, it is so easily repaired. My internal stairs are finished with hard wax oil and, if they start to show signs of wear, I just wipe over and apply another coat. No sanding of complete elements, you just refinish that area.
There are many hard wax oils on the market and I think I have used them all. Some months ago, I saw a video by the Wood Whisperer who reviewed HWO’s and his overall “winner” was Natura Onecoat. I had never heard of it and found that it’s not even available here on the UK (although it’s coming this Spring). In my view; in the view of someone who has tried them all, it is the best hard wax oil that I have used - and the most economical.
Thanks for the encouragement and great advice!
There is a 3 hp Craftsman contractor saw that there are alot of on Facebook market place. I have had mine used for 5 years and it is a great saw. I bought it for $200 with a Biedemier fence and two rockler side tables one with a router plate and cut out. It is beautiful.
That’s the way!
I can’t wait a week for stain to dry! I need something thats wipe on/wipe off, dries quickly and does it all in one product lol
Try tung oil!
Solid video. New subscriber. Keep it up. Fellow Canadian here,
Thanks for the sub! Where in Canada?
Been wood working for just a couple months.. Almost entirely been using premium 2X4s been getting really good at joining for panels etc.
Awesome. With 2x4's, be careful with the moisture content. You can build furniture with them but after a few weeks or months the wood will likely start to move and affect your joints. Might be a good idea to get a moisture meter and dry it out until its under 10%. Here's the one I use: geni.us/BArY5B
I do need to get a meter. I've just literally had a pile of 2x4's that I rotate and then only pull out the oldest ones and so they usually sit for a month of 2 before I use them.
But I have still experienced warp especially when creating panels form 2x4s
Totally agree about buying used tools.. Too many influencers tell people they need to buy certain tools that cost tons of money!
That's cuz they're getting paid to push new tools! I wonder if I could get a used tool sponsorship...
@@williamswoodntools That would definitely be a great idea..
pine vs poplar----in michigan poplar wins hands down! better than pine on a $$ basis---pine is not cheap in michigan buy used tools---you are right on target if you can get what you want when you want it. thanx for good video rick
Interesting! Thanks Rick
hey! I'm Joel too and will start doing woodworking soon, hopefully.
That's awesome!
Good job. My newest subscription. By the way, what is that flexible rigid blue hose above your table saw?
Thanks very much. Here's a link for it: geni.us/z5VD
Subbed, I’m along for the ride
Thank you!
Very sound advice, unfortunately I didn’t watch it before I bought a not cheap table saw. But will take this advice to other purchases.
Pine wood leaves a pitch resin on blades and cutters. This is a constant maintenance item that can be solved with resin remover solution and glide coat spray.
That's a great tip! Thanks
Sweet vid. I tell my wife I haven’t invested much in my shop either. 😂 more importantly where did you get that flannel? It sick.
Yeah that comment was for my wife if she happens to watch 😂 it’s from West 49 of all places. Thanks
When you say you started woodworking 3 years ago do you mean full time or just as a side business whilst you still have a career? Glad I found you This video was excellently paced and I'm keep to see where you go as I have also been woodworking for about 3 years. But Maybe less than you if you've been full time.
You've got a very beautiful and very efficient shop. once we move into a permanent home I look forward on taking notes. Too bad we're not closer I feel like we'd get a long pretty well.
3 years total! It’s my side gig. And I’m sure we would! Thanks
Your channel deserves so much more attention! Your videos, personality and take is just incredible! Love your work!
Appreciation all the way from Denmark
Thank you so much 😀
Great tutorial Joel. I have been woodworking as a hobby for about five years and recently have been actually building kitchen and pantry cabinet. I have a question about finishing? Do you spray and if so what type do you use? I have been spraying with a Harbor freight HVLP and am looking to upgrade. Good turbine sprayers are easily over 1k and I have been reading about the Fuji semi pro for around $600 with extra tips do you have any advise on this subject? Thanks
Thank you! I have not yet ventured into spray finishing, but I hope to in the near future. Matt Cremona and Stene Woodworking have good stuff on that, especially John Stene (Instagram).
Great Video, very helpful. I did have a question, and i am sorry if i missed it, but you mentioned your Fine Dust Collector at ceiling height, but i never got the brand, I am thinking i would like to invest in this type of system, for the same purpose and would like to explore the parts and pieces you have a little further. I see the hose extention extra, just cannot find the info on the fine collector, thanks a million, keep up the good work.
Yep, Fein Turbo I. I highly recommend it. Here's a link: geni.us/L0fZKR
I teach Construction and Carpentry in a high school in Saskatchewan and I could not agree with you more on all these points, particularly #1 and #2. I will note, even though I use pine everyday with my students, when you get to the larger width boards (10" & 12") they can have a lot of residual stresses in them from drying which can cause kick back on the mitre saw and table saw when cut and it releases the tension. Really loved your video and look forward to more. Subbed!
That's super encouraging and great advice about the pine. Thanks for the sub!
Subscribed hoping that you'll dive a bit deeper into some of the projects that you're working on. Are you doing this professionally or just as a hobby? If professionally, is it a full time or part time thing for you? And, how do you get new business? As someone who would like to turn their hobby into a business, I'm very interested in anyone that has succeeded in doing so.... especially in Ontario!
Hey thanks for the comment and for watching. I do it as a side-hustle. I have a full-time job. However, I have registered it as a business in Ontario. On my Instagram profile there are a few pictures of my projects. My biggest project was a 10-piece built-in library for my next door neighbour made from rough sawn red oak.
Love the used market. Just bought a 6 inch 1960s Rockwell jointer for $100. Only things I've bought new are my DW735 planer because it's a very hot scam item on the Vancouver marketplace, my table saw because I was a newb and didn't think to look for used, and then a tracksaw I bought on impulse because it was on sale. Still can't bring myself to pay more than $10 for a clamp so I pounce on the good marketplace clamp deals.
You got it man.
No disagreement here regarding using pine.
great video. I want to start my channel but get so hung up on editing video. I am a little older and have no background in it so it is very overwhelming to me. Any suggestions and what editing program do you use? Thanks.
Divinci Resolve is great and free.
Is it easier than Apple iMovie?
@@williamswoodntools
Pine can really gum up your tool blades
You're right about that.
Where did you buy saw from? What’s the model number?
My table saw? I'm not sure of the model number but it's a 3hp Delta Unisaw made in the 80s. I bought it used from a woodworker in my town off Kijiji.
Do you have a riving knife on your table saw?
No I don't. I should have one, shouldn't I...?
@@williamswoodntools yes you should, especially when you’re making a video when perhaps lots of beginners watching.
A mentor...hmm, in our day we all were apprentices and the master craftsman was the mentor. Then we had to become journeyman and then onward; with real life craftsman who would actually yell at you and call you names if you couldn't pick up on the concept. From what I've seen of the new "carpenters/woodworkers" they would fold up like lawn chairs because their feelings would be hurt. Good luck Joel on you woodworking "journey." You seem like a nice enough guy. As you said, there are thousands of TH-cam woodworkers out there, I guess relying on TH-cam for income. It's a new world.
You're right, apprentice is a more appropriate word. I guess I'm thinking of it in terms of a hobbyist perspective, like woodworking is for me. Would've loved to have a real craftsman yelling at me for a few years to really learn the trade! Then again, maybe avoiding that was nice. Thanks for watching.
I think pine gets a bad reputation due to people buying wet/green dimensional lumber from their local big box store and not giving it ample time to dry out before trying to work with it. Right from the first cut, all that tension is released from the board causing it to change shape... or worse, it warps or twists overnight after spending time on a bunch of joinery only to find out the next day that nothing fits together anymore. I agree, pine is underrated but buy it when it's on sale and then leave it in the shed to dry for a while before trying to use it.
Great point.
I agree with everything but alittle torn on the pine thing. If you buy hardwoods on marketplace like the tools it's not much more than pine from the box store. I feel like you dont take much more time with hardwoods but you can ask so much more usually (I do like that live edge you did though) So if labor is aprox the same but you can make more per hr just by using a hard species then it seams to make since to not use pine much. I see all these guys running around trying to use free wood and spend alot of time on it and usually making really low per hr. jmo
I think that's a great point. Thanks for watching and sharing your perspective!
“Haven’t put that much money into my shop” spent more money on one tool than all of mine combined.
😂 well, I meant that for the quality of tools I didn’t spend as much money as it looks. I was given some, flipped some to pay for better ones, and used money from woodworking projects to put back into my shop. Thanks for watching!
Great but tell us rookies where can we find used tools?
Where you live matters a lot. The Toronto area, where I've found all my tools, is probably one of the best places to find good deals. Other areas might be more challenging, not sure. I use Facebook Marketplace and Kijiji. Hope you find some gems!
Tip number 1, buy a checked shirt 😜
😂
Hey Joel, wanna be my mentor. :D
Haha sure, just keep watching 😎
Good advice and straightforward delivery is great. BUT... please do not demonstrate such dangerous behavior on the jointer and tablesaw. Right about the time you mention dangerous tools you are face jointing pine without any form of safety aid (about 2:12). Hit a little punky spot in the wood and watch it disappear under your hand and you're right on the blades. Use a grout float from Home depot- about 8 bucks. It stays rubbery and doesn't clog with dust the way the cheap ones that come with the jointer will. Worse yet, and much more likely to cause injury, at 2:31 your saw blade is too high, and your bare hand is pushing the wood through the saw WITH A PUSH STICK VISIBLE, SITTING UNUSED ON THE FENCE. Over 30,000 tablesaw injuries are reported each year in the United States. Common sense practices can reduce this number greatly. Sorry for all caps, but as a hand surgeon who has operated on dozens of tablesaw injuries over the last 25 years, I think it is best to retain ownership of your fingers.
Yes, thanks for the good advice. Appreciate it and thanks for watching!
