hah, cheers, glad someone appreciated them! 😁🥚

Yep, "I won't do a good job so why even bother". I'm glad I've moved on from that, it's much more fun to woodwork when you just focus on doing as good as you can, and simply enjoy the process. 👍

yep, definitely not for fine finishing work, but for banging together things like clamping jigs out of scrap, it's been great! 👍

It's super handy, and once you have it figured out, frankly, it's just fun! 👍

It's been a couple years now I think, and I still love this little guy, has been super helpful and I use it a lot more than I thought I might.

Yep, definitely not for any serious use. I have a couple Ryobi air powered nailguns if I need to make something at a higher level of quality, but this one has been helpful in a few occasions.

Oh wow, are they pulling out of NZ? Each time I go to Bunnings here Ozito seem to add more and more to their range.

Wicked, thank you! 👍

I was back in a big way, but around 6-7 weeks ago the weather turned absolutely freezing, and then responsibilities at work also stepped up a notch. Pray, For, Mojo! 😁

@@FixitFingers 😆 it's awesome 😍

Do you know, they actually pushed back on my first couple ideas with the desk, as I wasn't going far enough with destroying their product in their eyes 😆 Quite refreshing to have a sponsor like that for once!

@@woodfather That sounds pretty awesome!

You're very welcome, I hope it works out great for you!

Thanks Andrew, I really quite like this one, using it right now even! 👍

Thanks PJ. No, the roll top is still definitely going to happen. The office has two desks, this one, and then the old tabletop I hastily installed when I built the room with is on the opposite wall. That tabletop is a junk magnet, and will be removed so that the rolltop desk can live there in future. The rolltop is going to be specific for another hobby of mine, so I'm taking my time and constantly tweaking the design to cater to my needs there. One of those, "I'm scared to start" builds, in case I do a disastrous job 😆

@@woodfather Good. I'm hoping to build one myself, so I'll be watching with keen interest.

Yep, I think Einhell is the UK branding? I wasn't aware of that until a little while ago. I don't think this is one of their best tools, but there are a couple Ozito ones, like the Palm Router, that has done everything I've ever asked of it, so I'm definitely a fan.

In a right pickle, but also, right in the pickle! 😆 I made sure the power was out before climbing up there lol. The standing function is great, changes the whole day when you can spend a couple hours standing and stretching. 👍

@@johnhunter1262 Cheers for that John, great to hear from you again! 👍

Oh man that's a brilliant idea, I'll go buy it now 😆

He would have turned it on 😉

Just my regular. first friday of the month, manscaping session mate 😆

ahahaha, that was my favourite line 😆

Spot on Alex, I'm a big fan of both, though now you've made me realise that I've misplaced my Unicorn Project book! It should be on the same shelf, what have I done!? 😆

Luckily I now have a space to sit and read that book! 😉

"We're staying home tonight babe, Mario's got the moccasins out on youtube!"

Oooh, i've been eyeing off a couple under desk treadmills in the last week to be honest, I think that's definitely going to happen, though maybe without the monster television to undo all my massive space saving gains :D

I even cleaned them up before shooting the video, you wouldn't have liked the layout earlier! 😆

Thanks Manny, I'm a week in and loving it. I do need a mat to stand on though, the hard wood floor isn't very soft :D

ahaha, maybe I'll get myself a hot water bottle to sit on next time!

It's all tucked away now big fella, only one cord hangs down and that delivers power to the desk and all the equipment on top. I try to keep my desk 'cleanish', I don't always succeed, but I try at least. 😆 Also, GO BLUES! 👍

Thanks Tom, I'm loving it! It's making a real difference to how I work from home which is really cool, plus getting the books out of view has been great!

So glad to hear it Christopher, and the photo you sent through looked amazing, came out beautiful, well done!

It's been so much fun Vipun, that's the main reason I've kept going with the process, I just keep enjoying the new space and want to spend more and more time out there 👍

oh my god Matthew, thankyou, I've just rewatched this video and I've mispoke! 🫨 If the joint is too tight, your key is too wide; And if your joint is too loose, your key is too thin. I can't believe I've never noticed that before, I must have watched this 100 times when editing and seemingly missed it each time. 🤦‍♂ I've checked the plans and the build video, and they're all good, but yep, I've said the wrong thing here, you're correct, other way round!

@@woodfather Thanks for the quick reply. I just purchased the plans off your site. Do you have a straight pdf instead of that other file type? If you don't no problem. Love your videos and the great humor!!

@@matthewn2559 the purchase is a zip file, and inside that you get a PDF and then a couple SketchUp models. You don't need the models though, that's just a bonus for people who want to visualise changes before cutting wood.

@@matthewn2559 and thanks! 🙏

@@woodfather Got the pdf figured!!

It's all smoke and mirrors for youtube, nothing professional here KJ 😁

@@woodfather Well, your smoke and mirrors are obviously working! 😎

Many thanks! Let me know how you get along! 👍

hah, cheers but you'll have to go to the new owners house to see that 😆🎠

Thanks Ross, it's made a crazy difference to be honest, still surprises me how different I feel when I get out there. 👍

Cheers Mark, a little bit of a different style in this video, some parts I like, some I'll tweak in future videos & builds, but always good fun to get back into it 🙂

All you need is a load of free wood to fill it up then!

@@woodfather Oh I already have that. That's the problem.... 🤨

@@PrestosTimberFurnitureAU ahahaha, well, it's a good problem to have at least 🙂

🙂Thank you so much! I was a little concerned before I started that the bottles would be too ornate or stylish to go into a box and might look out of place, but I think in the end the box and bottle complimented each other really nicely. 👍

Don, great to hear from you again, how's things? Cheers for the kind words, very much appreciated. And yep, the little pony came out really nicely this time around. The only slight concern I have is that being that this one was made from a hardwood, it's quite heavy compared to the others that I've made. Not a huge issue as you don't normally pick these up and go for a walk, but I did give the new owners a long chat around making sure they're watching the little ones as they play, would hate for a small hand to be stepped on by this pony!

I'm incredibly lucky to have so much space, I know. Originally when we bought 20 years ago we were going to put a car in here, but after one night of "open gates, move car, close gates, open garage door, move car, close garage door", my wife and I gave up and decided to to use this space for storage only. 😆 I've always had to share it with non workshop things, so yep, all the bikes, scooters, mini electric ride on cars, lawnmowers, etc, it's only since this renovation that I've finally taken the whole thing over for myself. I'll cross my my fingers for you that one day in the future you get the same luck! 🤞
