I have enjoyed your videos for years, some more than others. But I thought this was one of your most informative video clips you've ever put out. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing Colin. I differ with you about pine in furniture making 6:25 .Pine wood is strong. It is a very stiff softwood with relatively high compressive strength, density, and bending strength than most other softwoods. This makes pine wood strong and durable to use for making furniture, paneling, window frames, roofing, and many other woodworks. While it's not as strong as white oak it does make good furniture.
I learned how to build furniture exclusively with SPF just because my small town lumber yard couldn’t get hardwoods. I’m thankful that’s how I learned but after I got ahold of hardwood it just opened up a new world for me
Have you ever taught school? You are an EXCELLENT teacher! Always interesting and full of information that is well explained, especially for a newbie like myself! Kudos, and a very Merry Christmas to you and yours! 🍎👍🏼👏🏼🎅🏼🤶🏼🎄🦌⛄⛪
Colin, just a note to wish you and your family a merry Christmas and a happy New Year! Your videos are excellent! My hope is that you will continue to publish many more! Take care of yourself!
@WoodWorkWeb maybe not commercially available for you up there, but here in Florida, we can get Southern Yellow Pine which is ~875 , heavy and turns brutally hard as it ages. That's why Chris Schwarz recommends it for workbenches.
One thing to highlight is that there are more than one types of pine, and they have different hardness. The Eastern pine and white pine are around 400 on Janka scale, while the Southern Yellow Pine we get in Florida is pushing 900, similar to a lot of maples.
The pine in southeast Texas is about the same density and hardness as red oak. I've bent nails trying to drive them through Southern Yellow Pine; better to pre-drill or use an air nailer.
I've been really wanting to use spruce for a table. I used it for putting together some planters, and that grain looks absolutely amazing with a couple of coats of bog standard lineseed oil. It hasn't dealt with Scottish weather very well though.
My takeaway from this one is the select grade Douglas fir. It looks like a good substitute for aircraft grade Sitka spruce in building large radio controlled airplanes.
I recently used hemlock for some kitchen drawer dividers. I wanted cherry, as the drawers themselves were cherry, but none was readily available. The hemlock ended up matching the drawers very well, both in color and grain , and it was inexpensive.
I actually just recently built my son a small table for games and playing and what not - I also used hemlock and that was my first time working with it. It turned out much nicer than I expected - and very surprised how gorgeous it looked when stained with a walnut color. I’m gonna try a couple more projects with some hemlock that’s almost 50 years old - I did a renovation this year and all of the wood used back in 1974 in my house was hemlock. I have a lot I pulled out and it has a gorgeous golden brown color that I’m excited to figure out what I wanna do with
I have a 5x10 inch douglas fir beam in my basement, 100 year old house. Yeah, there is no way to hammer a nail in there, even had to predrill for screws because they would just snap.
I have just started how to basic frame. I want to know whether Panner or the other one which makes side corners with it. I forgot the name of that one. What do u prefer. I want to Stat in low budget as a biginner.
Hello Colin. I am trying my hand at power carving with my newest toy, the Dremel. According to a RUclipsr (excellent craftsman) Basswood is the best wood for the specific purpose. Here in South Africa Basswood unfortunately is very expensive. Do you have any suggestions on what other wood I can use? I have tried Pine, but it does not work that well.
I have not subscribed Your channel, but Let me tell you one Little trick: I have an old black&decker sander, it doesnt have dustbag, but I Can make a dust bag from small plastic bottle.
A a minor note; one CAN NOT describe a piece of furniture as 'Antique' unless it is 100 years old. it is illegal to do so! Am I being pedantic, probably.
I'm a bit drowsy this morning and you should be more careful with enunciating "coniferous". That is, I wondered for a moment about trees that eat meat. Make the first vowel a long O as in "cone", please.

First class video Colin. Jim.
Thank you. Great demonstration. Look forward to your next one.

Many thanks. You're great. I'm learning. Sao Paulo, Brazil. 💚💛🇧🇷
I love when your videos come up. Thank you for sharing.
Well explained Colin ... as always, I learn something new on your channel. Hope you and your family has a wonderful holiday. Cheers my friend!!

....thank YOU sooooo much !!! always sooo interessting and sooo friendly presented !! Kinde regards from Switzerland !!!
1st time I've come across a vid that was made the same day I'm watching it. Merry Christmas!

Wow never to old to learn
Very informative, and very well explained. You've ignited my creative woodworking interest in softwoods.
Thanks Colin, that's really helpful. Going in to your video on pine now.
Thanks for the knowledge about Softwoods !!!!!!!!!!!

Great point. Until recently I really thought there was one type of pine.
The pine in southeast Texas is about the same density and hardness as red oak. I've bent nails trying to drive them through Southern Yellow Pine; better to pre-drill or use an air nailer.
Fantastic, Colin! 😃
Thanks a lot!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Your videos are great my friend.
Fantastic information.I could get a PhD in woodworking just watching your channel 😀. Cheers from India 🇮🇳.
Good video. Just goes to show we’re always learning. Thanks for sharing
I've been really wanting to use spruce for a table. I used it for putting together some planters, and that grain looks absolutely amazing with a couple of coats of bog standard lineseed oil. It hasn't dealt with Scottish weather very well though.
Fantastic rundown. Thank you!
Very helpful. Thanks
Thanks man! I love these
The select is also called cabinet grade. My favorite.
Thank you for the teaching.
Please sir, can I have more? What a great, educational video. I just learned something completely new.
My takeaway from this one is the select grade Douglas fir. It looks like a good substitute for aircraft grade Sitka spruce in building large radio controlled airplanes.
Great video thank you for sharing .😀
Thanks for sharing those tips!
thanks 🙏
What a wonderful explanation Colin. I always learn things from you!
Thank you! Excellent & very informative. And you didn't do any voice over (thank you again)

Some good solid advice, cheers mate👍🏽

A little short but informative
Thank you, always interesting.
Would have been nice to see cedar included in this.
Very informative! I'm gonna buy me a torch.
Are soft woods more prone to wood worm Colin ?. Thanks Simon UK
Very informative! Thanks👍
A show that includes the stiffness of various types of wood along the grain and across the grain would be useful.
"Antique" furniture 60 or 70 years old? I guess we are antiques too, eh?
Came to say the same thing! That's just barely vintage. Antique is 100 or 200 years old!
Thanks Great content
I have just started how to basic frame. I want to know whether Panner or the other one which makes side corners with it. I forgot the name of that one. What do u prefer. I want to Stat in low budget as a biginner.
The other instrument is Jointer. I will appreciate if u can answer.
What is the rating on balsam fir?
Well said!
Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹 here

Have you tried maple or birch?
@@christ9359 Thank you , Chris. I'll give it a try.
I've had really good results with cherry.
@@baldeagle5297 Thank you for your suggestion. I appreciate.
The lumber graded in Canada the fir is alpine fir not douglas fir
How come lowes has wood labeled as “spruce fir” ???
You want to know about sap problems?
Try working with pine heartwood.
What about cedar?
I have not subscribed Your channel, but Let me tell you one Little trick:

Hemlock,, ?
Doug Fir is Not a member of the fir species. It is actually a Pine.
For the algorithm
Well the people in northern europe makes a lot of furniture out of soft woods
To the best of my kwledge, no Australian hardwood is deciduous.
I heard MOE love HARD WOOD

linden in 400 on Janka scale....
I'm a bit drowsy this morning and you should be more careful with enunciating "coniferous". That is, I wondered for a moment about trees that eat meat. Make the first vowel a long O as in "cone", please.
I've always heard it pronounced the way he says it in the video.
I hate soft wood!
Not good for the beginer.
