Exclusive Video: True Beginner Out-takes
Added 2021-05-19 14:09:49 +0000 UTCFriends:
Nate and I have a lot of fun when we film these videos and a lot of good stuff never makes it to the final edit. So, as a tiny mid-week treat, we humbly present this short video of us messing up and looking dumb.
It's hump day!

I don't see anything specific for the book, please forgive me if I'm treading toes here. I want to get a copy (maybe two) but had a question. Or two. Are you doing any "specials" for your Patron set? Just curious whether I should go ahead and pre-order, or wait for a "special offer" and 2: Do you have anything set up to get a signed hardcopy for your long-time fans? As I said, please forgive me if I'm in the wrong spot or time to ask these, but I've not been around much lately - in and out of the hosp, and sched for more surgery later this month - I don't want to miss any deadlines, etc.

2021-05-20 20:47:47 +0000 UTCI must agree with the guys above. Showing mistakes and imperfections and repeating that it doesn’t matter to make things perfect is something which helps a lot to get into this hobby. Thanks to your Woodworking for humans, I have now built terrible but functional stand for my daughter’s hi-fi, stand for my son’s practice sword. two slatted benches and accumulated 11 planes. Eleven in three months... And a workbench. If I have not seen that perfection is not the point, I would have stopped long ago and missed so much fun. Thank you, Rex, you do great job of making this stuff approachable.

2021-05-20 20:32:29 +0000 UTCI agree... love the wood working for humans series and I like that you often say you need more practice at something. It makes doing this stuff much more approachable and give me the feeling that I can do it as well! At 63 I am finding all this sawing, planing ( especially planing), boring holes, and using a hand axe exhilarating and satisfying! Its both psychological and physical therapy!

2021-05-20 12:26:26 +0000 UTCI know exactly how to take that. I'm no God of woodwork and I'm okay with that. I'm a teacher. I'm happy to be one.

2021-05-20 11:48:07 +0000 UTCWow. Legally blind and still at it. Impressive!!!!
Rex Krueger
2021-05-20 11:47:22 +0000 UTCVery glad to provide a little relief!

2021-05-20 11:46:41 +0000 UTCThe hard part about sharing my shop is that I have to STOP talking to myself.
Rex Krueger
2021-05-20 11:46:23 +0000 UTCPlease don't take this the wrong way, Rex, but I love that your woodworking is human. I love Paul Sellers and Frank Klaus and Roy Underhill but they can sometimes live up on a pedestal as English/Hungarian/American gods of the ancient art of making wood in to beautiful things. Your work has always felt very approachable and your techniques don't seem like they require a lifelong trek up the Mount Olympus of woodworking to learn.

2021-05-20 05:43:45 +0000 UTCAt the end when you dropped the waste piece; that was me all day today. Thank you for making me feel better.

2021-05-20 01:12:50 +0000 UTCThank you for the bloopers. By the way, thanks to your sawing video, I made my first ever bird house for my mom today. Sure it is a jr. high project, but I was never allowed woodshop in the 80s. Now at 45 I am enjoying learning these beginner skills. I can not see the cutting line with my hand saw, so here is what I did. I took the measurement. Made my mark, then used my square to draw the line. Then I took a puece of wood the same width of the board I was cutting and clamped its edge to the line I just made. Instant cutting guide for the hand saw. I simply kept my hand on the side of the blade so that it remained touching my guide and thus stayed in its kerf. Thank you for your videos, they are a great gelp to me. I am legally blind, thus I have to figure out a different way sometimes.

2021-05-19 22:05:44 +0000 UTCThat was fun. I nice break in an otherwise mostly stressful day.

2021-05-19 20:35:47 +0000 UTCAwesome. When I talk to myself and drop crap there is no one there to enjoy it. I need a shop buddy.
Stephen Marchesani
2021-05-19 17:37:08 +0000 UTCThanks, good fun right there. The fact that it was short I guess is a testament to you guys not messing things up too much.😜

2021-05-19 17:29:39 +0000 UTCNext video all in the norwegian farmer voice, OK?

2021-05-19 15:01:29 +0000 UTCThanks for the midweek laughs. I'd happily watch more blooper videos!

2021-05-19 14:58:02 +0000 UTCThere is nothing more reassuring than seeing someone else drop the workpiece on the floor!
