Early Access Video: Woodwork without a Shop
Added 2022-04-23 11:00:04 +0000 UTCFriends:
Funny story. Three days ago, I started a project; a nice little stool in an English style. I thought it would be fun to go full-on Woodwork for Humans and use the low bench and a bunch of very simple techniques. So I got going with that....and quickly realized that the simple techniques were taking over the video.
So I decided to focus on the simple, low-tech approach and show all the cool new tricks I've learned. I made a whole video about that and I'll finish the build next time. Promise.
Long-term Patrons might see a few familiar ideas here, but there are MANY new approaches. Lots of good stuff for everyone.
Happy Saturday!

Have you had issues with that low travelers bench warping? I want to build it but concerned about warping since I live in florida

2022-04-25 23:38:58 +0000 UTCI loved this one as I feel it is relevant to me. Woodturning is something I try to resist. I am terrible at regular woodworking and turning is another money and time drain I need to stay out of.

2022-04-25 20:46:45 +0000 UTCIsn't English a funny language?
Rex Krueger
2022-04-25 20:46:15 +0000 UTCI promise the stool will be a good one!
Rex Krueger
2022-04-25 20:45:58 +0000 UTCI cannot pretend that this style is always comfortable.
Rex Krueger
2022-04-25 20:45:40 +0000 UTCThe sad truth is that intros hurt you on YouTube. They give people a reason to click away. That first 30 seconds is crucial.
Rex Krueger
2022-04-25 20:45:17 +0000 UTCI will do more of these. I forgot how much I like it.
Rex Krueger
2022-04-25 20:44:30 +0000 UTCIt's a very legitimate way to work!
Rex Krueger
2022-04-25 20:44:07 +0000 UTCI absolutely will. There's a lot of garbage to sort through on these tools.
Rex Krueger
2022-04-25 20:43:51 +0000 UTCI'm glad you like it!
Rex Krueger
2022-04-25 20:43:27 +0000 UTC"Powerful". I like that.
Rex Krueger
2022-04-25 20:43:07 +0000 UTCI'm glad you like it, but I think we've also done a fair bit of skill-building recently. Turning is a skill.
Rex Krueger
2022-04-25 20:42:53 +0000 UTCI'm really glad it's useful!

2022-04-25 20:42:15 +0000 UTCTHE MYTHICAL VIDEO IS HERE! I still remember you mentioned it to me over 2 years ago!

2022-04-24 16:42:51 +0000 UTCI know it’s ”…the sole of the plane”, but I keep hearing ”…the soul of the plane”. It is kind of nice…:)

2022-04-24 05:12:15 +0000 UTCNice review of many of the basics you've shown before, Rex. Thank you. You're getting pretty good at these cliff hangers. Looking forward to the stool video. Take care and have a great week ahead.

2022-04-24 03:33:16 +0000 UTCI liked the old intro’s. That type of thing can get stale but I don’t think they were ready to retire yet.
Richard C von Brecht
2022-04-24 03:05:56 +0000 UTCIt looks like you had a good time doing this one. How often does a grown man get to roll around on the floor as part of his job. Just be careful where you step. I saw a lot of ankle twisters.
Richard C von Brecht
2022-04-24 03:00:07 +0000 UTCDitto with Christian. Well done, Rex!
Robert Judy
2022-04-23 22:20:50 +0000 UTCThanks for another great video. Is it my eyes or is the video quality improved? It sure looks that way to me. I guess to save production time, no more Intro's. there have been none this year...Were always some of my favorite parts. It's what got me watching you early on and kept me coming back.
Marc Barash
2022-04-23 20:48:48 +0000 UTCThese kinds of videos are my favorites. A lot of usefuls techniques for people who have to work in a more minimalist style. I am happy that you adressed the shooting method on the low bench. Thanks and keep them coming!
Christian Pelchat
2022-04-23 16:53:47 +0000 UTCGrrrrrreat! Love it. Of course I'm kinda invested in viceless work holding anyway, so it's always real nice to see others doing it as well.
William Allen
2022-04-23 15:30:08 +0000 UTCExcellent techniques video Rex. Will you be providing links to purchases of the saw and hand planes?
John Hiemstra
2022-04-23 14:23:12 +0000 UTCRex it is always good to see a skill video mixed in with all the other content you do.

2022-04-23 12:09:37 +0000 UTCNow I'm super motivated to build the low bench. Again, this just shows the power of practical knowledge. I think we understand but I'm not sure the everyday Joe Schmoe off the street realizes how powerful this kind of stuff is.

2022-04-23 12:03:25 +0000 UTCI am so happy to see a return to skill-building videos! Thank you Rex.
