Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm not a new woodworker by any means, however i learned long ago that you always want to listen to the "old timers" and that keeps true in this case. Always end up picking up some new knowledge. Have a great day!
I have and use regularly every one of the tools you recommend with the exception of the moisture meter. I've solved that problem with procrastination. I've got a stock of sapele that has been waiting for me to get to it for seven years. I think it's dry.
Good list! I'd make some changes for a hand tool shop, but not many
I laugh when I see a guy use a magic marker instead of pencils.
okay
Why does it sound like there’s a shower flowing in your shop?
I just found your channel great content, I subbed and liked.
If you can afford it (they do cost more) you are better off getting a "pinless" or "flatplate" moisture meter. First because it does not leave "vampire bites" on the wood, and second because it tells you the moisture deep inside the wood whereas the pin-type only tells you the moisture at the surface-depth where the pins push into the wood. This is a big difference if you are working with boards that are 3/4" or thicker.
thank you for the advice.
Pure gold content as usual, thank you very much!
3M xtract sandpaper is soooo good. It’ll remove material much faster than anything else I’ve used.
Some excellent recommendations! About the only one that doesn't work for my budget are the pipe clamps. The Harbor Freight clamp mechanisms are pretty cheap, but the 10'- 3/4" galvanized pipe from Home Depot will cost you about $35 plus tax. Two clamps were running about $50 total. I can buy a lot of decent bar clamps from Harbor Freight for that much. I couldn't even find any pipe at my favorite tool supply…Habitat for Humanity's store.
My “secret” for glue bottles is to leave a bit of glue on the tip and leave it open so the glue dries and seals the tip. Then when I need to use it I slam the tip on the bench closing it and popping off any dried glue. Then it opens easily
I made my first woodcarvers mallet with a saw and hand axe!
I really wouldnt bother with a japanese saw (ryoba, by the way) that isnt made in japan. The temper is wrong, the set is wrong, and the tooth geometry is nothing to write home about either. I've had the one you show a long time ago and it felt great compared to regular box store saws, but the teeth did not last and it would jam easily, to moment I bought a real ryoba I knew how useless the first one I had really was. It is well worth the money to buy original.
