  • Coming up with your own ideas for gifts that a woodworker, craft person, or DIY 'er would actually want and use is hard. Especially if you are on a budget. Here are a dozen ideas plus a bonus that woodworkers like me would love and use.
    ERROR IN VIDEO: I misspoke in that Lee Valley bought Hock Tools not Lie-Nielsen. I have no excuse as I wrote a blog post on this purchase a few months ago. Clueless why I made that mistake.

    NOTE: All the items I've talked about you've seen me use in videos and I purchased with my own money. But the links that go to Amazon are affiliate links which means they offer a kickback to me if you buy following the link. Though I also try to include links to companies that support woodworking community too so you have a choice.

    Silky Bigboy is also fantastic. Haven't brought an axe with me for years.

    Great ideas, thank you 👍
    I’m just planning some hardwood end grain right now that is a bit stubborn, I’m going to try some alcohol on it.
    Another idea for an inexpensive, but superb, gift is a tape dispenser for blue tape. Only yesterday I caught my finger with a plane blade and I was able to dispense some blue tape right away with one hand to close up the wound instantly. Of course it comes in handy for other tasks too 😂

    I have a folding pruning saw for pruning or taking along in the truck as you mentioned, but unless things have changed, Silky is actually one of the expensive brands. I got a Corona to replace an old wooden Corona that I lost and am happy with it.,

    with the leather scraps give them a set a punches. then they can punch circles to use as pads for set screws since those always go missing.

    Why grain alcohol rather than denatured?

      No dryers (poison) about same price.

    • @josephs2581
      @josephs2581 6 месяцев назад

      i think you can also use isopropyl 99% in some cases (eg shellac). Canadians have access to ethanol with a less toxic agent to prevent consumption (but nowhere near as bad as what's in denatured alcohol)

    Not begrudging you or anyone else, because Amazon is very convenient, it’s just that buying from them is essentially giving them your soul a little piece at a time.
