Nick, what paint are you using and what is the reason for using the Polyvine ? Please use a proper spray mask.

I realize there may be variances in filming techniques, but it appears to be blotching from the application process. If so, would you recommend a sanding sealer before applying the stains?

You look kinda like Michael Keaton

Dark green?

I think Matt Black would look the part.

Gold

Nice work, Nick 👍

That looks very professional Nick! good job :)

Oooh, new shiny fings , got to love new stuff. ... Happy Birthday as well matey !

Yeh, everyone whinges about “Health and Safety gone mad” but I remember the changes on building sites and factories from the 70’s onwards. The number of lathe operators on piecework (my dads old mates) minus multiple fingers etc, and the number of roofers killed/crippled from falling off cat ladders ( hence everything needing scaffolding now) use your PPE1 😃👍

As promised a little update on how the box was received. The lady who the box was made for cried. I’m hoping in a happy way. Apparently it was just as she remembered the original but was different enough to make it unique to her.

I love that you did this on pine. My first few pieces I built I had no idea about staining pine and just how BAD it looks with most stains. Those are excellent and be able to see ALL the colors was very helpful! Thank you for that!

Hi Nick, I'm here at the recommendation of Loz from Grumpa's Workshop. I've just watched several of your vids and I do like your content and style. Thanks to Loz for the tip and I have just subbed to your channel, regards, Fred

My own shop has grown incrementally and organically. My best advice would be to draw up an ideal shop with everything you could hope to have and then build one thing at a time, as needed, but in accordance with the overall plan. You'll still have to adjust things as you go but having the perfected image already drawn up will help guide the smaller decisions. Best of luck. I like your presentation.

"I might think about the projects. I might just doze off" You, sir. Just said one of the most relatable things to human-kind. XD

French cleats and wall storage for everything

That’s great news Nick! I wish I was there to give you a hand. Next time I can help you with filming ❤ so you have more 🎥 angles

Great video Nick, I really enjoyed it. I’ve not see a workshop in a storage place. Golf and woodworking…. Sounds a great retirement.

Measure once, cut twice, then damage it in with a hammer!

CORRECTION I said in the video that on the back of the tape measure it was marked in inches. This is not correct. It is in fact a scale that takes in Pi to calculate diameter. I’ve not used this function. I apologise to anyone hoping to have this measure inches.

I like the Hultafors tape measure (I have one), but the bottom of the tape is not inches. I don't know what it is, but it's most definitely not in inches.

I’m also old enough to have been brought up on imperial measurements and even remember when money wasn’t decimal! 😂 I’m a fan of those Talmeter tape measures too although my everyday go to is the Fastcap one which has a pencil sharpener built in. Good work on the video. Lots of good information 👍

NIck, @berrysmith1954 and @MokuzaDesigh are both spot-on! I heard about the metric system in Jr. High school the schools in the 1950s didn't teach it. My father was mechanical engineer, I grew up with the Imperial measuring system. Never thought I would need metrics until I became a Porches mechanic in the mid-80s. It's so much simpler so it required very little time to become "bi-lingual". Thanks for the video!

Hi Nick, I enjoyed the video and it's good to hear someone talk about measurement the same way as I think: drive in miles measure in inches. Though I remember my dad combining the two "2 foot 5mm" was a measurement he gave me once. Just a suggestion, it would be good if you had a second camera/phone for close ups to give us a better view of what you are doing sometimes. I like your style so have subscribed.. Keep up the good work

Nick you are spot on with your acessment of imperial verses millemeters. I was born in the US and the school system never mentioned metric measurements ( I was born in 1954). With all that being said my father was a watchmake and jewler, and later a gemlogist.... he was a fluent metric system user in his trade and I learned it from him. As you say it is a no brainer, much simpler! My work was in the space of Ophthalmology, Optometrist-Oculist and metric is all we used.

I loved the plot twist of this video Nick, you “nailed it” 😊

Same block plane as I have. It's a wee beauty!

Lovely bench Nick and a great series of videos on this build, the detail you go into with the little tricks here and there are great for a newbie woodworker like me. I've subscribed to your channel and look forward to watching more of the content you put out.

I've been into woodworking all my working life. It never gets boring. Started my business redsworkshopuk in 2022 and have never looked back.

Bought one a couple years ago. It is one of my favorite tools

I love mine. It's a beautiful little plane, and super handy.

A carpenter I worked for in the French alps bought an expensive block plane similar to the lie neilsen, the difference between using his and my old record blocker (which I still use for work now) was night and day and really made me appreciate the quality of those tools, I will definitely invest now I have my own workshop, best wishes

This comment is mostly for the algorithm. I hope to someday be good enough with hand tools to warrant a set of nice chisels

A man should always treat themselves, regardless of what it is and especially in retirement ... a simple, nice video that i am sure many a bloke gets.

Really nice bench! Do you have plans for sale? I would love to buy a copy.

Have been looking at getting a honing guide for some time now,but what one to get? There are so many on the market. Then I just stumbled on to your video. Just the right information for me and narrowed things down a lot for me. Great video and you got a new subscriber.👍

I bought a set Narex Richter, looking forward to dressing them before i use them.

Remember that I'm not Elon Musk, these are just some thoughts on starting a woodworking business.

Good luck for the future

If you’re making joints that tenons are appropriate, the domino is a smart choice for a business where time is money/profit/overhead. As a hobbyist, I got the dowelmax system because it fits my needs.

at least with the kapex you can sell it for nearly what you paid for it, and upgrade. i got the 60 because its more portable than the 120, i agree its great but has its size limitations.

3:45 if you do get a second bandsaw that is larger, you can put a resale blade on the big one and put a thin detail blade on the smaller one. I only have an old cheap bandsaw that I bought secondhand, but that’s what I will likely do in the future.

I got into woodworking when my better half died just over 3 years ago and needed something to keep me busy. Bought a 20' x 7' shed/workshop, some cheaper power tools/hand tools and started with chopping boards for the family. Always loved wood from my school days 55+years ago but ended up in mechanical engineering. Love it.

Saw you comment on the other guys video and decided to follow you too. Good luck on your RUclips journey

Domino is portable and much more flexible than traditional tabletop mortisemachine. Never regretted buying the domino if not only for the space saving

Like you, I also regretted buying smaller, less expensive tools. I learned over time that better tools make woodworking so much more enjoyable. "Buy once, Cry once" - as they say. Thanks for making this video.

ur regrets are fascinating old man, i came here expecting some cheap stuff and u went I should've bought a bigger one

I like the bit about Barbara

That Sapele looks stunning. The chamfer also came out beautifully. Nice work and great video. Appreciate the mention. And I could not agree more with your statement about negative and positive people.
