One Board DIY: The Easiest Shelves Ever
In this video I make a simple set of shelves out of just 1 board of wood that was 1.8 meter's long approx 19mm thickness and 70mm width. I could have made them quicker if it wasn't for the very cold garage.
The thumbnail shows what they could be used for but I'll put a post in the community tab when they are in the final location.

Creative Scrap Wood Projects You Should Try
Просмотров 290День назад
Time to use up some of the scrap wood that I have and these projects don't even make a dent into the amount I have. In fact I haven't even used any of the scrap sheet materials. The projects are quick and easy to do you certainly don't need to use some of the machinery that I have used just hand tools will do.

I Made My ULTIMATE Hand Plane Till to Go IN The Hand Tool Cabinet
Просмотров 82221 день назад
It was time to build the plane till to go in the Hand Tool Cabinet, I searched RUclips for designs that I liked to get an idea of how I could build the plane till. There was only one that I like and that was by the The Wood Whisperer, link to his video below, he also provides free plans which were helpful: ruclips.net/video/0bqa6OUITBE/видео.html Naturally it wouldn't be one of my video's witho...
Make a Peg Board The EASY Way
Просмотров 573Месяц назад
This is the 3rd video in the Hand Tool cabinet series, I make a Peg Board to hang some of the tools which I tend to use the most. There is a lot of drilling to make the board but it is worth it in the end. The actual holes are 9mm width and 20mm apart.

I Built a PROFESSIONAL Hand Tool Cabinet with Wood from Big Box Store
Просмотров 1,5 тыс.Месяц назад
I've replaced my shelves at the back of the work bench with this hand tool cabinet. All of the wood is from a local big box store (B&Q over here in the UK). There is no complex joinery so it is very easy to build. A couple mistakes were made in the build the main one being making one of the drawers to the wrong size. If you haven't seen it already the link for the 1st video in this series is be...
Hand Tool Cabinet DESIGN Process - Replacing The OLD with New
Просмотров 87Месяц назад
In this video I go over the process I go through for coming up with ideas for videos. This isn't always straight forward as some idea's just simply may not work. It always seems to be a race to go from an idea to creating an item to producing the video on a weekly basis. Also I talk about using Sketchup, although I'm not any sort of expert using it I tend to use it more to finalise how an item ...
Play Button Key Ring - The Must-Have Accessory for YouTubers
Просмотров 149Месяц назад
In this video I hand carve a key ring of the RUclips Play Button. You really only need a couple of carving chisels to make it, in fact just a set of the mini carving chisels will do. It is finished with acrylic paints although I have kept it to the classic red and white you could use any colour.

DIY Halloween Decorations - Easy & Cheap Halloween Decor Ideas

Halloween decorations that are easy to make from scrap wood. I even used a scrap piece of fence board You really don't need many tools to make them. I mainly used my bandsaw and carving chisels as with the orbital sander. You certainly don't need a fancy CNC machine although I do wish I had a lathe as there would have been more decorations I could have made. ruclips.net/video/NZ1tKMA-l7A/видео....

I didn't actually get to the waterfall itself but this is a part of the river that I would have walked alongside to get there. The photo dimensions are; 300 x 300mm.

    @jackcorrigan8814 4 месяца назад

    100% agree with you on the humble pencil mate. I've never gone too far wrong following Paul Sellers' advice; Square your stock, accurately measure, mark with the marking knife, and go over the knife-line with the pencil denoting which side to cut. if you take the pencil away there's a lot more mistakes!

    • @stuffbyneilsmith
      @stuffbyneilsmith 4 месяца назад

      Admittedly I've never used the mark with a marking knife and then go over with the pencil method. I've seen it used before and I have been meaning to start using it for the even more accurate markings/cuts

    Not bad for a first. May be helpful down the road to explain techniques (I.E. tool control, etc.) and perhaps you'll eventually do a piece on how you hold down your work securely, if you get it figured out.. :)

    @tom314 8 месяцев назад

    Well done making your first video and first piece of carving! That's a lot of material to hog out by hand and especially well done for not accidentally removing a big chip from your valknut. I'm sure you're style will develop with time but one suggestion, please normalise the sound levels a bit, I have to turn it right up to hear you speak then a few seconds later when the music kicks in my children are asking me to turn it down... I do like your music choice though :) I liked a piece of advice Jimmy DiResta gave, trust your viewer, show them something once then trust they can assume you've used the same technique to finish the next steps. (might be slightly paraphrased)

    • @stuffbyneilsmith
      @stuffbyneilsmith 8 месяцев назад

      Cheers Tom, yeah the sound thing is something I definitely need to work on, I'll need to find that happy medium of volume from speech, which at time I do talk quietly to letting the music rock on.

      @gregmislick1117 8 месяцев назад

      First off - KUDOS - you’ve dive j to the deep end and come up first another go. Carry on. B) The Val Knut came out quite well, as noted above well done to not split off a chunk. 3) Audio levels also as noted. You got better in the last 3rd, but I believe that was due to speaking louder rather than improved levels balance between clips. Steady on, the outlook is for clear skies and following seas.

    • @stuffbyneilsmith

      I have to admit the sound was all voice over and never recorded with the software I have. I'll have to do some tests and trials.
