"We all have our vices, and this is the woodworker's" was an absolutely incredible line.
its even funnier when you realise thats a whole rabbit hole you could go down as well
Not to mention "I've saved the boring tools for the bitter end."
Tools have had such an impact on our language, there are so many metaphors and puns in our language "toolbox" it's amazing, and this line hit the nail on the head when it comes to that.
@@rubenskiii😂😂
@@trublgrlRan to the comments to make the same point.
You are super talented if you are just two years into woodworking, seriously. Respect from a fellow German carpenter
Great video as always!
"The boring tools to the end", I see what you did there 😂
Jaysus lad, the excitment and enthusiasm for tools in this video is contagious, made me feel like going down my local screwfix and clearing the shelves
Oh, you're right! Nice catch on the "boring tools"😊
I think "bitter end" might be a pun as well
No 30-minute intros. No yelling at us to "LiKe aNd sUbScRiBe aNd hIt tHe bElL IcOn". No umms and ahhhhs. Just a man who loves his craft, does it well, and wants to share it with the world in an entertaining format that's a joy to listen to. :D Well done sir. :D
I've been crudely building wood furniture my whole life. I have to admit, there is an undeniable urge to attempt to make my own mallet now but it wouldn't get the use its intended for.
Do it!
That doesn't matter. Build one!!
It's a nice project and it might kick-start something!!
Search" impossible mallet "if you fancy a challenge!
I already own a bunch of hand tools and know all the basics but I still watched anyway. Your videos are always very enjoyable to watch.
ONLY 2 SUMMERS AGO?! I've been assuming you've been doing this since you were a young lad! Your work is amazing and inspiring ^_^
Our woodwork teacher in high school also pushed us to always use non-mechanical tools, pick up the principles etc. and it was a great approach
Ikr, I figured he had at least a decade of experience. He’s just so adept with all the antique tools….he’s only 21
I absolutely thought this was generational knowledge he grew up with. Phenomenal.
using hand tools teach how to use power tools, to not abuse drills and drill bits, a jigsaw and a table saw or hand saw
the same with sanding inñf you are not accostumed to hand tools and how they work with power tools youre gonna be a mess
Eion you are grinding out videos. That’s what it takes. We all love the videos. Keep it up with a happy balance of your own life. One of my favorite videos is when you and you friend went out out in the boat and talked about men’s mental health. Please keep those videos in mind. I’ve lost a few Military friends to suicide and I think more men should talk about mental health issues with our friends. ❤
curious to know if you’ve ever tried Japanese saws! i know you have a great set of tenon and dovetail saws, but i wonder how you’d get on with a ryoba.
i’ve found that the pull saw approach is great for those of us with less strength and it definitely helps with accuracy. another carpenter channel i follow (Shoyan carpenter) often pulls out the handsaws to do tricky cuts and it’s always a showcase in how hand tools are sometimes faster and easier than something like a jigsaw, when in the hands of a skilled craftsman
👏 brilliant 😊 thanks again🎉😊
RUclips's value comes from people like you! ❤
I LOVE this guy's shorts, and now he's saving my woodworking class final, thank you
Great stuff. Entertaining, well informed and to the point. A video on making workbenches would be fun. A lot of the ones I've seen are completely OTT with inches thick hardwood slab tops etc, which is not practical (or remotely necessary) for everyone!
Hey from south africa ! 🇿🇦 you're the reason I've started carpentry, recently got my hands on some saws, chisels and a collection of Stanley planes and it's genuinely unlocked a passion i never knew i had!
The main reason I use hand tools is because its enjoyable, quiet, and no dust. If my 4 year old son wants to play in the shop with me then it's fine. Just gotta keep him away from the chisels.
Emailed questions?
So, where does one find your email address?
Also, my grand uncle, Ira Freeman, invented the razor strop. Good news for barbers, not so much for bad boys, who by reason of poor behavior, earn having a strop drawn sharply across their bare bottom!
What a great video I agree with you that the list of starter tools was a good one !
Thanks for having the good sense to NOT assume those of us starting out already have table saws, band saws, planers, or routing tables, or the budget to acquire them (are you listening RUclipsrs?). Collecting a sensible selection of hand tools that don't break the bank has always seemed a good way to go. I particularly like that you made your own mallet. Keep up the great work.
you inspired me to start carving my own shit and my grandpa just gave me an auger with a winch handle and a hand drill. You’re right about it being much more satisfying its just indescribably cerebral. Love ya bud
👏👏👏👏 Very good. I am a very proud Texan but DANG I wish we had y'all's accent here🤣🤣🤣
No.5 handplane is my most used size so I guess I'd call it my favorite. I started with a No.4 years ago but that size hardly gets used anymore. Having large hands could also be a personal factor with me for choosing the larger plane, it's more comfortable as well as having a longer more useful soul without being too big for some things.
The No.5 I use most is a pre WW1 Stanley I restored, great plane.🙂
My dad is a carpenter by trade and I love it as well. Ive been watching your videos for a year now and absolutely love the old ways of wood working. Im into axe throwing now and am about to start my handle building/bit profiling journey the old fashioned way. You are a true inspiration to the old minded young fellas. Much respect sir. Keep up the good work. cant wait to get started!
For me as a German these tools look so weird and their names are so weird too. In Germany, our tools look like they're straight out of the 19th century. Our tools are named after what they look like and what they do. There is the Raubank (rough bench) which is the big plane, then the Schrupphobel (Scrub plane), Schlichthobel (evening plane), etc.
Brother you have developed your skills extremely quick. That’s awesome. Got craftsmanship in your blood, no doubt.
Thank you kindly for this detailed rundown - lots of videos assume we know something, and I for one know nothing, and appreciate all the details (like needing a bigger form of drill for more torque or how to actually sharpen the tools.
Wow! Man. Old classic vintage tool, that's what I like❤
It's addictive. I'm not sure if I spend more time restoring tools or using them. But there is no better therapy than woodwork with vintage tools 👍👊
I'm just a beginner. I have half these tools but a lot I thought were just for show - stuff from my grandparents etc, looking tatty and blunt and useless, or so I thought until I saw your videos and thought about doing them up. So thank you for the inspiration and the lessons!
(FYI we aren't all lads here...)
Take it as a compliment. You're hanging with the boys. 😁 Btw. Woodworking doesn't care about gender. 😑
1:30 also good exercise and less stress on the body (vibration from power tools flows into the lower back, which will eventually make one regret the long term use)
My dad would have loved to have seen this. I remember messing around with his planes and chisels. It probably drove him nuts. Beautiful tools 😊😊
I can tell you started on tiktok, you sound like you're in a hurry lol
I didn't see the notification for this, but thank you for this upload!
Definitely saving this to a playlist so I can refer back to it anytime I'm at an auction house and see tools on display 👍
Great video Eoin
Love your videos! Very inspirational. Cheers lad!
This might be my favorite video you have done. You educate elegantly and it doesn’t feel like anything more than old friends catching up. Also, your passion is contagious. Keep up the good work!
Honestly a miter box for a hand saw is good.
Good to get used to holding the angle of a miter joint/cut.
I would gladly use my hands to work your wood.
Now I must apologise but I absolutely had to say that after my Tourette's made me shout it lol
Love your videos, you’re a natural talent in both woodworking and entertaining!
Hey PBS grab this guy. He'll be a big hit on Saturday mornings.
Thank you! Your videos have made me want to try woodworking, I did it briefly in school but I didn't really get on with my teachers teaching method, but I really enjoy watching your videos and this one is very helpful
You’re like a younger , better looking , more talented version of me.
Love your channel brother, keep up the good work.
"*Bore*ing tools for the *bit*ter end"
Hats off to you, mate 😂
I'm here EARLY early, hi!
At my age power tools are very much welcomed. Lol
How would you drill a hole in a new building wall?
Word of warning, the tool buying and restoration does not stop at 15! Still great to have plenty of choice in the workshop
Really love watching you work!
I need a link for that shirt tho
I took a construction class years ago in high school and it was me and another girl and I didn’t care. I loved it. I got to build myself a CD case holder. I still have it and I am proud of it. I am into nostalgia and I hope to one day get myself an antique 1920 Singer Sewing Machine with the foot pedal. He f course there many other things I enjoy. This is just one of them.
Keep the videos coming. By the way, this is truly a hobby for you that took off. You have been doing this for about 2-3 years now and are this professional. Wow! Thank you for sharing your knowledge to the world. It is very precious.

My old man and also my old woodworking teachers reckon that it's best to learn the skills w hand tools first before you go on to using power tools on the regular. I'm inclined to agree.
Plus hand tools are just so much more therapeutic and relaxing to use
I live in the states and do construction work so power tools, skill saws, nail guns, and impact drivers are in my hands every day, but these hand tool woodworking videos you make are super cool and interesting to watch, got me wanting to try it out on the side lol
Thank you!!! This is the question I've been wanting to ask you, but was honestly a bit embarrassed.
Tip for anyone strapped for cash wanting to get into this, you don't need any fancy marking gauges, at least not just starting out. A tape measure, a pencil, and something to write on, and you can transfer measurements and mark boards just fine
You can also make a marking gauge really easily by screwing together two pieces of wood and pushing a steel nail through as a scribe. Making an adjustable gauge is pretty simple too.
A gauge line is better than a pencil line as it gives a register for chisels and a distinct stop for planing.
I´d recommend framed saws. The great advatage is that you just have to bey the saw blade (they´re pretty cheap) and you can build the frame yourself from some scrap wood. You can build big ones to dimension rough wood or small ones, for example a coping saw or a small one with fine teeth to cut fine joints.
Seriuosly...you are not in your father's footsteps?........with everything you have going on I thought it was a family business....Love your work!
I've gotten hooked on these videos of yours for at least a month now, and i'm wondering, if there are some good books out there, at least for getting the basics that you'd recommend. Currently stuck in an apprenticeship for metalworking so i can't pick up a carpentry apprenticeship just yet.
What a wondeful man
Perez Kimberly Thomas Jeffrey Rodriguez Melissa
Tape measure...
THANK YOU. You made this very simple and easily digestible.
I believe I can manage to forge a fair few of these myself. Got some pretty decent chisels made up already!
I was getting RIGHT confused looking into what I need for a basic tool set. Thanks a ton, cheers!

Do you own any “Yankee” screw drivers ?,….my dad was a joiner & would be 85 today if he was alive,…he had 2. A big one & a wee one. As a kid I remember nearly taking my eye out a few times while ‘helping’ my da ! Must have nearly given him a heart attack a few times !!!. 👍🍻🏴
I did woodworking at school in Australia many years ago.
Now I was looking up some manual woodworking techniques, after recently getting the wordworking bug and wanting to get back into it for a few DIY projects, and found myself remembering all these tools I had used along with their hitherto obscure names!
Great video .....but you need to give more time to the humble Pencil ! why it's oval and why do they come in boxes of 10? well you throw them down and if they were round they would all be in the lowest corner of the workshop and for comfort, to fit behind your ear! if you buy a box of 10 your great grand kids will probably get to use them and if you cut them in half they will be easier to find and your great great great great great grand kids will get use from them once again nice video. and my tip for the day in an old workshop if you have power supply problems ..... go Battery power to ease the load, Parkside might help there if they stick around laters fella
When you've got 20 years of experience, you can call yourself a joiner. 😂😂😂
With 2 years experience, you're just a young lad.
Mallets are made from Beech.
I think this is the only “10 tools you need for woodworking” video I’ve ever seen that dmmdntiins anything to do with sharpening and looking after your tools!
Finally a video on this topic that actually has any relevance and good info.
Shame on all this “big name” and “popular influencer”
Channels that are now just infomercials and a waste of time!
Couldn't you just use a big square for every piece of wood?
What would you use a wooden 404 plane for
Harris Kevin Brown Timothy Hernandez Susan
You over flowed the box… now what… how to get down to basics and organize! I did the same with leather tools… you’d think to much is better… however, getting trim is better. The few tools you use every time.
Two years? Is time different over there?
Surely it took more than a year just to acquire the tools 😊
Im just taking the p-ss outta ye, lad.
Great stuff!!!
Thank you so much for all the information. You make great videos!! Keep up the good work :)
The spoke shave. What's reccomended. Flat or curved? For a beginner.
I've got to say, for the beginner, a cheapo powerdrill is much more worth your time and money than a handcrank, or even a brace. Picked mine up new from one of the local purveyors of Chinese garbage, for thw equivalent of about 25 euro, and its lasted me many years of abuse
It's about time you got a TV show, Eoin! Where are RTE?!
Soooo basically im looking at spending thousands of dollars if i want to build anything that’ll last. Ok, time for over time!
Hand tools also give you more experience and learning moments. Since they are slower, you can also see your progress slowly but steady.
Well, a table saw is a workhorse. If you could only get one tool, I would get that one, since it can make my lumber colinear. For hand tools, my combination square is the most useful. In terms of chisels, Narex is great bang for your buck.
Have a question Have you read Adules Carpenter & Builder's guide???
Don't know of anyone who accidentally amputated fingers with a handsaw.
I hate using a rip cut saw. I feel comfortable with chisels, planes, routers and tenon saws but I just can't saw straight for any length with a rip saw. Fortunately, I can clean up the horrible mess I've made with a plane but it's a waste of wood.
You neglected to mention one very necessary accessory: the Tweed Flat Cap!!😲
It is funny you mention the no.5 Stanley. That was my first plane. Bought it for 25 canadian. It was a restoration.
how do you saw/bore in a straight line? is there any equipment that helps with that? I can't cut a block of cream cheese without it coming out looking like a weird cliff lol
Martinez Larry Gonzalez Elizabeth Gonzalez Sharon
I have watched you latly as a 55 year old mason from kilkenny all i can say is if u keep interested you will be an artist soon you are a class act
Good list! There are several tools folks can make instead of buying beyond just a mallet. Squares and marking gauges are both things that can be made fairly easily and quickly. You can also make squares fairly easily.
Top tip - if you are using a blade like a stanley knife for marking out, drag it backwards, with the tip on the wood. That will mark a scratch, and there is less chance that the blade with 'follow the grain' rather than the line you are trying to mark.
Lad, I’m American but I love saying that ! Lol one more thing dividers are good at and that’s dividing! Great video!
1:30 also good exercise and less stress on the body (vibration from power tools flows into the lower back, which will eventually make one regret the long term use)
Great video. And an impressive tool chest sitting there. Thanks for sharing.
My humble suggestion is that if you can get some cork sheet and glue it to the wooden blocks/plates of your vice to get a better grip on anything that you want to really ‘get into it’
Sir i would fight for your right to be crowned king of ireland. You're some boy 🖖✊😎
You're so manly, and I like it.
I might like it too much 😂
I can recommend the spear and Jackson saws - they are not pretty, but they come sharp and can be sharpened. The handles are rubbish, but since we are woodworkers, we can make our own.
Your videos teach me a few more things here and there and I love it. Big thank you for sharing this knowledge so openly to us. It's wonderful seeing you enjoying your craft so much and it's truly lighting the fire to refine my own
Jones Eric Taylor Larry Hernandez Angela
Bit nippy in the work shop... I can see you're breath🤣🤣
Eoin, id watch videos of yours that were hours long. You have nothing to worry about
Your content is always grand but your video making skills have been elite lately! Carry on brother
