    Is there like a CZcams hall of fame that we could get Steve inducted into? Hilarious intros, the best woodworking channel out there, and is the only person on the internet who makes me look forward to sponsorship portions of the video because I know i'm going to laugh. GREATEST CHANNEL EVER!!!!! Steve was the first woodworker I found on CZcams, and I didn't even really know woodworking was a thing. I was only 16 at the time. Steve inspired me to take a woodworking votec class in highschool that ended up earning me a full tuition scholarship to college. I owe it all to you Steve.

    @DraKBC Před 7 lety

    Best program of woodworking, carpentry, hardware, etc. in CZcams. This program should be awarded as best in CZcams. The beginning is unique when you get cut off lol! The first time and probably the second got me. I thought is was bad editing until I figured it out as the entrance and advertising. Thank you Steve for your teachings! God bless!

  • @Kakamage
    @Kakamage Před 4 lety +2

    Hi Steve, I just wanted to say that I am starting to dabble at the most basic level in woodworking and greatly enjoy your videos. I'm starting to slowly build my arsenal of tools and really appreciate your guidance and videos on how to properly employ them. I love your enthusiasm and the detail you show in your videos, too!
    One thing that I probably enjoy the most, however, is your honesty and integrity with how you present information and guidance. My job requires absolute integrity and I appreciate the little moments in your videos where you could have said something misleading or calculated but instead chose to admit whatever conflict was occurring. Please keep that up!
    Thanks and keep them coming!

  • @Leo9ine

  • @skooterbob
    @skooterbob Před 5 lety +1

    I love your videos. Your shop feels real (unlike some of the shop spaces that folks shoot in that feel like a set). My garage (aka: shop cave) is tiny and tools have to be pulled in and off shelves, things are stacked up, and it’s definitely not fancy, so your series resonates. Keep up the good work!

    @out.of.control Před 6 lety +2

    Awesome video Steve! Growing up on our farm, we had two saws, a traditional hand held circular saw and a Craftsman Radial Arm saw. These seem difficult to find now-a-days. This was our goto saw for so many different cuts. My Dad cut miniature 1x10s, 2x4s, 2x6s and 2x10 for me to build a wooden to scale house. I still have some of the cuts where 1" = 1/16" and all the cuts are consistent!

    Hey Steve I am a retired helicopter mechanic and attended year long machine shop operations course in that course we were taught to lower the band saw guide post down close to the material that is being cut and also to adjust the upper bearings to keep the blade from wandering as much.with that said I watch your videos to learn wood working which is my new way to enjoy my retirement love the videos and have learned a lot, i am a beginner at this.

    @i74s Před 4 lety +2

    Hey Steve, Thank you for great videos! As a total beginner with only a circular saw and few clamps I started my first project making some rip cuts to glued pine wood boards, and I successfully made an accurate precise cuts, down to millimeters (0.04 inch) By clamping a cheap aluminium spirit level as fence guide. Yes it takes some time to set everything and 10 times to check before cuting, but ir works great. Maybe it will be helpful for other beginners that maybe not yet ready to comit to table saw.

      @BigRalphSmith Před 7 lety +86

      Ivan Freely
      I understand where you are coming from (or trying to) but I disagree with that advice.
      *Don't fear your tools, **_respect_** your tools.*
      There's a huge difference between those two outlooks.
      To use a tool, any tool, that you are afraid of means that you are never going to be able to fully focus on the task at hand and that's the one thing that is more likely to lead to injury than anything else. To be distracted by fear of the tool while using the tool is almost a self fulfilling prophesy.
      To fear your tool is to give over some amount of control to the tool itself and that's a problem.
      You always need to remember that you are the one fully in control of whatever tool you are using and that that tool can do nothing that you don't make it do _or allow it to do._
      DON'T be scared of any tool. I know that can be difficult sometimes but, if you have a tool that scares you, it's usually because you don't fully understand the tool, what it's capable of, or how to use it properly. When you have all those bases covered, that fear will dissipate naturally.
      If Jesus Balls is scared of that saw, he needs to learn more about it, practice with it, watch others, etc. A tool you are scared of is automatically more dangerous to use.

    Take some time and tune your bandsaw. I've used a 12" Sears for years with great results. I've built cedar strip canoes and had to cut 70-80 1/4 x 3/4" strips 18' long with no problems other than what to do with a lot of sawdust. Work on yours, I'm sure you can get the full potential out of it.
