Hi Mark. Discovered your cannel not so long ago. Think it is great. Love the practical down to earth advice offered by your content. Your attitude presents as both positive and motivating coming from someone who will have a go at project warts and all and explain it in a simple and clear language. Bravo! As far as trim routers are concerned I found the Dewalt more suited to me offering both fine depth adjustment and power - it's a beast. Milwaukee would be a close second for me. I very much enjoy your take on woodworking and look forward to more of the same in the future.

Love the beginning videos. More please

Beginner woodworking. Needs a planer. Lovely build and ideas, but planers are one of the most expensive tools and definitely not something most beginners would have. I've been woodworking for 4 years, just a hobbyist, and I don't own a planer, or a router table.

Excellent!

Fantastic series, fantastic shed. You should be proud.

Oh man! Great videos but sooooooooo many adverts! Why?

Where do you get your hardwood from. Do you need to go to a more specialist supplier than your builders merchant.

DRAWER, not draw. That said, I love your work. It has inspired me to get more into woodworking. Thank you.

Title of this video should have been "CLICK BAIT." I say this because the title only ads to the years of lies and cuts through nothing.

One thing to keep in mind with the remote receptacles. Advice from a master electrician, most of these type devices are only rated at about 12-15 amps. Larger tools say a compressor, sliding compound miter saw, table saw, or even things with heating elements(ie coffee pot) usually pull 15+ amps. It is a bit like the power strips, many house fires in the states during the winter as people plug in space heaters. It is the number one cause of house fires here. Also the workshop companion is a wonderful knowledgeable channel/fella. He has written several books. He has an ingenious panel moving system.

2:37 please provide video of you putting in those hinge screw with that saw. That has to be hilarious to watch.

Better tape measure tip. If they don't agree then at least one of them is wrong. Throw all the ones that are wrong in the trash. There is no reason to keep an innacurate measuring device in your shop.

Spend on blades, anything that cuts better needs less force and gives better results. And make test cuts, I use a scrap piece to try every single tool on so I know what happens next.

So where possible buy the same tape.

Love these videos, please keep them coming. Also the block of wood on the speed square was genius 🤯🤯 Thanks for the great video👍

This has all been good advice. Thanks.

Hi bud, just caught one of your old vids in your old shed workshop. I have a 12x8 shed ( I’m in the UK too) I use and it’s a nightmare to organise to be practical. The vid was very useful in giving tips on how to use such a small space efficiently. I’m now subscribed and are going to binge watch all your vids. 👍🏼

Thanks for your video! I appreciate your work! Nice idea for inspiring people to work with wood, "...use the tools you have and create tools for other people"! Thanks again!

Good stuff here. I'm guilty of pointing out my sins, errors. it is a negative in impact. Always listen to the voice in your head.

Your Videos are within the best out there. Always profound, reflected and explained well; with good humour. thx for sharing your pragmatic and mature way of doing things

Been a Cabinetmaker/ machinist for just over 50 years, now retired due to (an unrelated to work), health setback. I do still try, to potter around in my workshop, but am now finding confidence somewhat lacking, when using my table saw, hand router etc etc.. I can boast, I still have all fingers and thumbs intact, aIthough, I did have, one near miss, while operating a spindle molder, some years back.... A pencil fell out of my shirt, upper top pocket, and within a split second, Instinctively..., trying to stop the pencil from coming into contact with the cutters, both hands, slapped on the table infront of me, bringing my fingers, within half inch, from contacting the 2 cutters rotating at maximum speed....Lesson I learned here. Always park pencil behind ear. 😂 Keep up the good work my friend.

Congrats! And virtually all without someone's assist. Ya are rightful to be proud of what you've created.

packed full of helpful information! A wise saying I once heard was "remain teachable"

How much did the whole thing cost?

The thumbnail is stupid nuts.😂 This should have a +18 rating

whatever floats your goat man. I just put magnets on everything. They are the most useful storage solution in my workshop for about 70% of the tools I pick often. Tools with holes like wrenches etc I got on dowels or just some screws, which I will be remaking to have their own panels instead of driving screws in the wall directly. (board wall, not actual wall). Magnets on everything that they can hold is a gamechanger. Also do not get fooled and order at least half of them in bigger size than you wanted. Still shouldn't be more than like 0.2-0.3 euro a piece. Ones with chamfered hole for screw tend to break when smaller (like 15mm diameter) if tightened too much or used heavily, but I still rock them for around 4 years now. All the keys for drillpress directly on the drill press. All metal rulers etc directly on the tablesaw. It's insane how people still build solutions when it's in my opinion obvious to use them. Thinking of recording some videos in my workshop and starting up the chanell but IDK, a little messy and I tend to forget about the camera

please stop referring to housing joints as "dados". in the uk, a "dado" is a rail that runs around a room at about waist height.

Superb build. I will check out the details.

Great video as usual

Great video, Mark. I really liked the simplicity of the mallet. Will have a go at that. I also liked that you kept the tools simple and/or showed simple alternatives. I know you’ve done a quick whizz through on sharpening a cabinet scraper before but it would be great to see that in more detail. It looks like a really useful and cheap tool but sharpening it still seems a bit of a dark art. How are you finding your new workbench? Any changes planned now it’s been in use for a while?

Great guide. No whipping out super expensive tools like it's nothing, sticking to basic tools that most people either have or can easily get. Even the circular saw could be swapped for a Tenon Saw and a bit of extra time. 👍

wonderful!

Amazing what you can do with a 1/4" drill bit and some dowels. Spend money on tools you need.

Really liked the video - especially the key rack. My problem is finding reasonable wood for this. Do you have any thoughts on where you get reasonably priced wood in UK? How much do you expect the sapele to cost?

Kreg sells the small pocket hole jig. Also, you should use a machinists square or something non-adjustable to confirm other squares.

Great video as always. Thank you. BTW, which clear dust collection attachment do you use on your router?

Hi mate, you enjoyed that didnt you. 🤪🤪Some great ideas, as usual. Bought any new gear recently? Just to let you know concrete floor is done, started framing today. Cost so far £6500. Expensive in Norway. Have a good un. Cheers.

Great video Mark 3 great simple builds Thanks for sharing as always.

These beginners videos are great. Please continue them.

Great ideas.

i see you used some more magnet's....

Great video and use of magnets.

Making a mallet is a right of passage for beginner woodworking.. Love your project's and tip's "every project try a different tool" that's how you get better love your vid's

Great vid. I’ve always found my spoke shave easier to use pulling towards my body. Might be worth a try

Hi Mark, where do you get your wood from?

If the outside 2 are fixed back-t- back you only need one pair of hinges

Vertically splay cut the sloping timber so that the overall width is reduced. Still need to consider spacing to allow for space needed to get hand & tool in & out
