    I watched this video for 2 or 3 times now. You are inspiring to me. Long story short I an a wood worker and love it so much. But my Dad was in an accident and passed away 4 years ago and my grief with maybe some depression has put my tools at rest for the last 4 years for my dad is the one who really got me into it working in his shop. But today I am going into my shop to give it a much needed cleaning and organizing and bring my tools out of grief. Sorry my comment is so long and thanks for your channel. I have watched all your videos and hope to see some new content soon. Once again thanks for your inspiration.

    I am 71 years old I started woodworking 5 years ago without experience and I made 24 cutting boards and some of which are 3D, I love it, I made two or three Mistakes which cost me $15 to 20 but no accidents, and I, and my family really happy. You are doing fine young man. God Bless you.

    Watched your 2 pt workbench vid and saw your fondness for big, like you can make anything, and then you made something big, practical and beautiful. You impressed upon me your I can do it my way, anyway that suits me. Then saw your 3 tips with bonus. You inspire me. Not that I haven't heard some of your words before in my 59 yrs, but hearing from you after seeing your skill on display gives me thought and motivation in my new hobby. Thanks. Keep posting and I'll keep watching.

    I've spent many decades collecting tools that I thought I needed to make projects with. Now I realize that developing my skills with the hand tools I already had would have enabled me to make some nice stuff without waiting to be able to buy the planer, the jointer, the routers. And now that I have all that stuff, I"m having a rough time dealing with the dust made by all the power tools and need to use my hand tools more and more. Are, you are right on the money, use what you have to make what you can. Express your creativity. Don't put it off til you can buy that new tool.

    @chiplane3976 Před 6 lety

    Very sound advice - I have learned more from all my mistakes than from any book! Trying something is self-teaching. Even when you fail, you gain more confidence - you learn it is ok to fail. Great video Are - thanks for sharing this with other 'learners'.

  • @alexniefer3736
    @alexniefer3736 Před 6 lety

    Great advice kid. I'd imagine that it took a significant amount of courage to be open and honest about your life choice to become a woodworker. Keep going, do good work, inspire others, and thank you for sharing. Success can only be defined by YOU.

  • @danbarrett6113
    @danbarrett6113 Před 6 lety +2

    Brother thank you, I truly believe in what you say. Everything you brought up I had already experienced. Plus your positive feedback is great. Are, please keep making videos and wood projects. The world needs more makers and less doubters.

  • @Mrk2268

    Great Advise...As a long time metal fabricator, I am expanding into the wood working field (primarily wood carving). By implementing your advice each day I am really starting to have Fun while leaning all the little nuances to carving and art as well as saving and purchasing new equipment. Thank you

  • @alansimpson596

    Great advice. I'm a hobby turner and have made every mistake in the book including breaking my wrist when a piece flew off.
    I'm in retirement now but if I was your age I would aim to be a master furniture maker and build my own business. Your attitude tells me your destined for success.

  • @julietphillips1991
    @julietphillips1991 Před 6 lety

    Me again. I am 60 years old . I discovered your videos by chance and listening to you now has lifted my spirit and re-enforced some things that I have learnt in life the hard way. I think it is great that a young person like yourself knows these guidelines now rather than later. Your 'tips' apply not only to woodworking.

  • @scottstennes6983
    @scottstennes6983 Před 5 lety

    Your words speak wisdom that it takes most of us until we are old men to learn. Keep on working, learning and growing. I wish you well!

  • @mzh22003
    @mzh22003 Před 6 lety

    man... you made me to say this in a good way... the first wood working I did in last month started making a roubo type work bench and later I was thinking I didn't even cut a piece of wood for practice but straight started working on the work table... it didn't come as I was expected but I loved it and loved working on it... and my next project is going to be home made sofa set that I am collecting ideas... I have learned many things from your videos specially joints... I laugh at my own that not a single test cut but straight to the table top... hahah

  • @heyimamaker
    @heyimamaker Před 5 lety +1

    Great tips Are!
    I think you could summarize a fail as a bunch of great ideas assembled improperly.
    Take what you learned and apply them in another way.

  • @garrypalmer5014
    @garrypalmer5014 Před 6 lety

    Great tips,
    It reminds me of an old master carpenter friend, who said to me, I cant teach you how to do the thing, but I can show you how I did it, and you will learn how to adapt it to your way.

  • @Bill.L.Carroll
    @Bill.L.Carroll Před 6 lety +4

    All good common sense tips there, mate 👍
    One more good tip for beginners, you don't need brand new tools, nothing at all wrong with secondhand, and easier on the budget.
    Once you get better and are more confident, then start upgrading.

    • @bluemoosewoodworking

      Bill Carroll sometimes you can get amazing second hand tools from someone retiring from the trade

  • @xy2144
    @xy2144 Před 5 lety +1

    Thanks for the good advice; just wanted to comment on making cutting boards; in my humble opinion I think that cutting board making is a great place to start because it teaches one how to make beautiful tops; this will then translate into making beautiful table tops because there is a definite art to proper Glue-ups that I've noticed alot of people take for granted ya know

    Uplifting my man! I needed this video. I’ve been in this funk won’t my wood working adventure and I haven’t been making anything. I haven’t even been thinking about making anything. Your tips are great to hear. It’s like you know these things but it’s helps hearing it from a person like yourself. Keep it up brother bear....I’m gonna go woodwork now!😄✌🏼

  • @kuffyswoodwork
    @kuffyswoodwork Před 6 lety

    Good tips. I'm a big fan of the bonus tip. I hate buying new tools with a passion. I have a pretty good kit already and anything I buy will probably be something to deskill the task which prevents learning and creative problem solving.

    @1dutchmf Před 6 lety +3

    Very motivational, even if you've surpassed the level of beginner. I think you'll one day reach your goals because of the way you think (and work). Keep it up!! By the way this reminded me of a speech from Arnold Schwarzenegger, the 6 rules of success, it's a tip if you haven't seen it already!

    • @AreBaloni

      1dutchmf Thank you! No, I haven't seen that. I'll check it out! Thanks 😊

  • @jeffkrug5541
    @jeffkrug5541 Před 6 lety

    Its just my opinion but before you even touched a tool or took the wood off your wood rack you have already proven YOURSELF and not this certain family member. Its your dream and no one elses and only you know your heart and when are dreams fill our heart then we shall succeed. And as you said we succeed by doing and trying not listening to others. My hats off to you and live your dream.

  • @tonybaleno2138
    @tonybaleno2138 Před 6 lety +1

    Great video Are and very sound advice! You are sharing some great thoughts to anyone contemplating a start in woodworking. Woodworking can be a journey through life...a very wonderful one at that. You were brave to make the decision to go into woodworking as a profession/business and I believe you will do very well. We need more young people like you with the passion to take up woodworking. There are many of us mature woodworkers looking to share and pass down our knowledge much as you did in this video. Keep up the great videos and sharing of your experiences.
    The background is beautiful...is it a lake or a fjord? I think we have finally come out of winter and into spring where I am located...and now we look for summer.

    • @AreBaloni
      @AreBaloni  Před 6 lety

      Tony Baleno Thank you so much, Tony! Yes, it is a fjord, a 5 minutes walk from my shop! Yes, finally! Here in Norway, We are actually hacking the highest temperature in all of Europe! It's crazy!

    • @tonybaleno2138
      @tonybaleno2138 Před 6 lety

      Are...what a scenic view...and so close to your shop...perfect! Norway has got to have some of the most scenic sites around. If you are having highest temperatures in all of Europe that is amazing. After coming out of one of the longest and coldest winters we have had in a long time it's nice to have temperatures in the low 80sF. I am in an area that is 43+ degree north compared to Norway's 58+ degrees north. Quite a difference...enjoy the warmth!
