I've been woodworking most of my life, since childhood in my dad's shop. As an adult I have been actively playing with wood for about 50 years, now age 76. Thank you for a very informative and leisurely stroll through some of Temu's offerings. My wife has been shopping on Temu for a few weeks now for things she has been interested in. I may have to check out their tool line, although I already have a boatload of tools in my shop. Blessings, Glen
Hello Glen! First of all, we appreciate your support, & thank you for taking the time to watch our video. Tanya & I are extremely excited to share our journey as well as our woodworking knowledge with you. Although, with as much experience as you have under your belt, we also cannot wait to learn all we can from you & other woodworkers as well. We are planning to share some woodworking tips & tricks videos with you & we would luv for you to hopefully consider sharing any tips, advice or knowledge with us so we can share with the rest of our viewers. We hope to hear from you again in the future. Thanks again so much for your support! ~Johnny & Tanya
Drill stops: Temu stops feature the set screw driving itself into the drill bit itself. The set you showed from Amazon were split stops, where a slit is cut into the stop body, and the locking screw actually closes the inner diameter of the stop around the body of the drill. This style is infinitely more sturdy and stable, and in my 30+ years of experience well worth the added expense.
Thank you for demonstrating the side by side tool comparison. I’ve been in woodworking for about 35 years and have learned that there are many variations on the same tool. Some shuttle and some glaring differences but when used carefully, a good outcome can happen. You’ve peeked my interest in the price ranges for literally the same thing, so as always ~ do your research before buying.keep the videos coming!
Thanks again! Tanya & I hope to continue hearing from you in the future as well as share our knowledge with each other as we continue on our woodworking journeys. We shall leave no man or woman behind. Thank you!
It's crazy how the prices are compared. It's the same thing as going to a hardware store looking at 4 hammers all the same features but different colors per manufacturer all made from the same company but ranges from 8 to 20 dollars a hammer just for the color and brand decal. Either Amazon has bamboozled us on the prices or Temu plays that long term foreign corporation take over strategy. Sell it cheap for almost no profits to cut out competition. Once your competition is out with no other contenders they jack the prices up. Or Temu is really exposing the secrets of how cheap things cost to make and our high inflation.
Fun.Guy.Forager, Thanks for taking time to watch our video. We greatly appreciate your support. Regarding Amazon and TEMU, it's hard to say what's going on. Amazon still has a few things going for it such as: it has many independent sellers who do provide things that TEMU doesn't, there are people who refuse to buy directly from China (TEMU), and there may be a huge group of people who either haven't heard of or looked into TEMU or don't realize that some products are the same (even down to the crazy letters you find on some of items you buy from either). We're pretty sure there are many theories out there, but we're just here to show differences in prices for those who may be interested in woodworking or are woodworkers already and can get deals on items that they may be able to use. Thanks again for watching! ~ Johnny and Tanya
FINGERS! FINGERS FINGERS! No point in using a push rod if you leave you OTHER hand on the wood!!! C’mon matey please take care 😊 Enjoyed this review, great idea and very genuine. I will start woodworking soon, just buying my equipment right now and finding a space! Bob England 😅
Hello Bob! Thank you for watching our video. Thanks for your concern, I completely understand what you’re saying. Since it was my first time using the stock guides, I felt the need to guide it better with my hand along with the push rod. Although, I do have to be very careful. We’re excited that you’ll be woodworking soon, and we hope we continue to hear from you in the future. We hope the weather in England has been treating you well because we’ve been going through bad heat waves with temperatures of 45 degrees Celsius or in the 100’s Fahrenheit non stop for the past month here in Texas. We appreciate your support, thanks again for watching! ~ Johnny and Tanya
Hello Len! We will definitely make more videos like this one. We’re happy to know that you enjoyed it. We appreciate your support, thanks for watching!
Great to see you guys on here! Thanks for sharing. I just placed my first Temu order after watching your video. Thanks for having a channel that's bit going to be focused on just being sponsored. I'm sure that's nice and all, but some of these RUclipsrs have taken that to the extreme.
Hello & thank you for taking the time to watch our video, we truly appreciate your support! We’re excited to share our journey & knowledge with you & we’re excited to be a part of your journey. We certainly do not want to be like those other channels. We hope you enjoy your Temu tools. Thanks again for watching! ~Johnny & Tanya
Good show guys! I am slowly putting my little shop together with limited budget. I am 82 yrs old Air Force vet and fortnately good at "restoring" used pawn shop power tools ( I've had not too many bloopers so far!) and the Precision Stock Guides arenest on my "WIN" list now, Thanks for the great review, keep it up!
Hello & thank you for watching our video, we truly appreciate it! Most importantly, thank you for your service. We're happy to hear that you enjoyed the video. We hope to continue hearing from you in the future. Thanks again!
Doing woodworking for about 20 years now, I got a set of Ryobi tools from my new wife for Christmas. And have not stopped building. Some of those tools I bought are long gone, while others are still going strong. By all means please do more reviews.
Hello Warren! First of all, thank you for taking the time to watch our video & leaving us a comment. We will definitely make more tool review videos to share with you. We think it's awesome that you have so much woodworking experience. We ask that you not hesitate to share any of your knowledge, advice, tips or suggestions with us so that we can make some viewer suggested tips & tricks videos to share with the rest of our viewers. We hope to hear from you again in the future. We appreciate your support, thanks for watching!
What's up Steve! Thanks for reminding me to wear my safety glasses. I definitely should have been a better example, I'll definitely remember next time. Thanks for watching! -Johnny
Just subscribed. Love the flag, tats, and t-shirt! God bless you and thank you for your service to our country. I've only been woodworking for a couple of years up here in Wyoming, so keep the videos coming.
Hello! First of all, thank you for taking the time to watch our video. We appreciate your support. We look forward to continue hearing from you in our future videos. Thanks again!
Martin, That’s the best idea if you have no use for anything. I don’t blame you about clutter, after moving in here 10 months ago we still have a couple of areas with clutter that we need to clean up! Thanks again for We appreciate your support, thanks for watching! This new video. ~ Johnny
I've been hesitant to order anything on temu, but may have to give it a shot some time. From Wisconsin, USA. I've always had an interest in woodworking, but just decided to go hard a little over a year ago. Built a tiny workshop 8x12 and bought up way more tools than I should have before even making anything. I'm just now starting to make some things on my few days off work. So far I've had great results and happy people who received a nice gift.
Hi Nathan, I'm Johnny! Your story sounds very similar to mine. I also went as far as my budget allowed & I started acquiring all kinds of tools about 1 year ago. Looking back, I think I might have gone a bit too far, lol, because I have so many tools that I haven't even used or needed so far. Before I began buying tools, I did have a miter saw, drills, circular saw, scroll saw & a jigsaw in storage but I went crazy & purchased so many other power tools, both big & small. Since we lived in an apartment, there was no space for me to woodwork but 8 months ago, we purchased a home with a one car garage so I was finally able to move all of my new & existing tools out of storage & into my garage, aka, The Bunker. Despite having about 8 years of wood flooring installation experience, I haven't built very many projects myself but I have grown my woodworking knowledge significantly by reading countless books, magazines & articles as well as watching over 5 years of woodworking content on RUclips. I'm very confident about my basic woodworking skills but I do realize that I have so much yet to learn as far as my hands on experience is concerned. Although, my passion for woodworking is very strong & I really enjoy learning all I can about woodworking. My wife & I are extremely excited to share our knowledge & journey with you as well as be a part of yours. We hope that we can share our knowledge with each other so we can grow together as woodworkers. I'm happy to hear that you're enjoying woodworking & we hope to hear from you again in the future! Thanks for watching! -Johnny
As Johnny has demonstrated, do plenty of research before “add to cart”. I’ve been buying from TEMU for a while and have been impressed with their quality. It just goes to show you there are many sellers of the same thing - only their name changes. The Chinese market is ripe with knock-offs of a good idea.
Hello SuperZmeister! First of all, thank you for your support. I agree, thorough research on each & every tool, regardless of it’s price or size, is the best thing to do in order to get the most for our money. Thanks for watching! -Johnny
Hello John! My wife Tanya said “thanks”, it’s one of her favorite shirts. We appreciate your support, & we hope to continue hearing from you in the future. Thanks for watching! -Johnny
Great vide and Kia Ora from New Zealand. I've bought a few tools from Temu. Forstner bits, angle finders, plug cutters etc. They are pretty good for the price.
Hello Kia Ora & thank you for taking the time to watch our video! We hope the weather has been treating you well in New Zealand. We also hope to hear from you in the future. We appreciate your support, thanks again for watching! ~Johnny & Tanya
Hello Michael & thanks for taking the time to watch our video! We hope you enjoy using your new tools. We appreciate your support, thanks again for watching!
I had been wondering about Temu and if it is worth buying anything from them. Thank you for the comparisons to Amazon products. Now I can order a few items from Temu without concern. Keep up the great content!!
You are so welcome mrgrudge! Some things are worth what you pay. Tanya and I check out if we can find it on Amazon then we’ll give it a try. I was extremely surprised with the tools. There are still a few more to review, but sometime later. Tanya will have a VLOG coming up that might help you better decide if looking into TEMU is for you to try. Thanks again for your continued support on this channel too! Stay safe ~ Johnny
Came here because I was watching your Rando vidoes. Love this channel! I don't even do woodworking. It's just so chill, relaxing, and informative. Love it! Thanks so much and merry Christmas!!! Hit up the HEB for me. 😀
Hello! Thanks for watching our videos, we appreciate it. Merry Christmas to you & your family. We'll make sure to hit up the HEB for you, lol. Thanks again!
Hello Bruce & thank you for taking the time to watch our video! Thanks for sharing your woodworking background. I’ve only seen radial am saws on RUclips, but I think they’re interesting. We appreciate your support, thanks again for watching!
Good job Johnny and tonya. I appreciate you taking the time to check out these tools. Those of us that work for a living need the best deals we can find. I will be interested in your longer term opinions about the stock guides. Thanks
Hello Chris! First of all, thanks for taking the time to watch our video. Expect more of these tool reviews in the future. I'll be sure to keep you updated on the stock guides. Thanks for watching! -Johnny
Just starting to teach myself woodworking. Love to see your wife? In the video. Sorry this is my first video of y’all’s. I’ve been trying to slowly introduce my 2yo as I try and learn anything about fixing or woodworking. I may be a perfectionist… but I’m astounded how hard it is to get a truly straight line perfect face of a board without seemingly major shop equipment… I can get very close and probably negligible but it’s such a bother…
Hello Todd & thank you for our watching our video, we truly appreciate it! It's awesome to know that you are starting your journey into woodworking. I love woodworking & I've been doing it for 15 years now but I do consider myself a beginner woodworker. We're excited to share our woodworking journey with you & we hope to become a part of yours as well. Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with being a perfectionist, I am a perfectionist myself, lol. We hope to continue hearing from you in the future. Thanks again!
Hola Johnny & Tanya, thanks for making this. I'm in Dallas, a beginner woodworker, and recently started ordering from Temu. Some stuff good; others not but able to return for free. Where are y'all located at? Would like to see more Temu vs Amazon, and also how to use such tools (use cases). Oh, and pls do Harbor Freight tool reviews. They have good stuff at low pricing.
Hello Nicole & thanks for watching our video, we truly appreciate it! We are very excited to have you here! We're located in South Texas in a city called Weslaco. We're about 2 miles north of the Mexican border. We are working on uploading some more Temu vs. Amazon videos, so please keep an eye out for those. Also, I will be uploading a Harbor Freight video this coming Saturday. Thanks again for your support!
I don't have 1/2 the tools you do Johnny, I do have like 100 screwdriver bits lol lol lol I don't build things so much as I restore old rocking chairs, bird mansions and right now I am stripping the 7 layers of paint off my banister, hand rail and 12 spindles. I prefer the natural look of the wood than paint. My baseboards are a foot high and I love it. The house I live in is just over 110yrs so you can picture all the wood [I know you can Johnny lol] I enjoyed this video very much Respect & Peace My Friends xo
hi, I found Temu a few weeks ago and got some fishing gear off them as well as tools.. I was just wondering how you can test the square by referencing two opposite faces on your board - how do you know they are parallel?
Hello & thanks for watching! The board was perfectly square & the sides perfectly parallel. The only way to test a square properly is to test it on a board that is square with parallel sides. Thanks for educating those who might not know that. That’s exactly how we should work together, I truly appreciate it. Thanks for watching! -Johnny
Thanks for a great review of comparison of tools ! Really was helpful . I do scrollsaw projects and my husband does work with bigger wood projects . Can't wait to see your next reviews . And you 2 are a cute couple 🥰
Hi Lora! Thanks for taking the time to watch our video. I enjoy building boxes & I also enjoy using my scrollsaw. We would luv to be able to see some of your projects. My wife Tanya on the other hand, is brand new to woodworking but she is eager to start learning. We hope to continue hearing from you in future videos. We appreciate your support, thanks again for watching!
For me, the biggest issue with Temu would be delivery times. Amazon can deliver some items to me on the same day, and most things in two days. A couple of dollars is worth it to me in order to be able to move forward with a job. I've heard that Temu can take over a month for some items.
Hello Peter! First of all, thank you for taking the time to watch our video. I have purchased 95% of my tools from Home Depot, Lowe's, Amazon & a few other online woodworking stores. I agree, Amazon's shipping is fast & I trust & prefer them when ordering tools online. I was only curious about Temu which is why I wanted to share my experience with you. On the several orders that I placed with Temu, shipping was at no cost & I received each order on average anywhere between 7 & 10 days. For those who are on a tight budget & want to get the most for their money & are willing to wait a bit longer, Temu might be ideal. Personally, I will stick with Amazon, lol. I still have plenty of other tools from Temu that I plan to review, but I don't see myself continuing to order anymore tools from them. Like I said, I was simply curious. We appreciate your support, thanks again for watching! ~Johnny
Hello Tom! Thank you for taking the time to watch our video. We hope to continue hearing from you in the future. We appreciate your support, thanks again for watching!
Awesome video - will definitely be checking back in. Interested in the stock guides. What do you think is the thinnest material these would work with. I sometimes work with 1/2 sheet goods and I was looking at a similar set of stock guides on Amazon and it said 1" was the minimum thickness they could be used with. Looks like you were using thinner stock. Any feedback is appreciated!
Hello & thanks for watching our video, we truly appreciate it! As far as the stock guides that I ordered from Temu, I can feed anything between 1/16" to 1 1/8" thick. It all depends on how far up you set the t-track on the auxiliary fence when you make the jig, so the thickness range of the wood that you use can vary. I hope this helps. Thanks again!
Hello Steve! First of all, thanks for taking the time to watch our video, we truly appreciate your support. We will certainly make more Temu tool review vids. We have plenty more to show you. Tanya & I hope to continue hearing from you throughout our woodworking & RUclips journey. Thanks again for watching! ~Johnny
Hello & thank you for watching our video! I've seen a few router table tops & fences on Temu but I haven't ordered any yet. I currently do not have a router table so I might just consider ordering one, thanks for the heads up. If I do place an order, I'll make sure to make a review video on it. We appreciate your support, thanks for watching!
Thank you!! Until now, I had avoided Temu because of Chinese affiliations. Your comparisons with Amazon prices have changed my mind. However, if I'm looking for a high-quality long-lasting product, I'll be buying from a reputable American company. IMHO - you don't learn from a Woodpecker, you learn why you need it (or not).
Hello Roy & thank you for watching our video! I completely agree with you. I would have to say that more than 80% of my woodworking tools I purchased from American companies. Another 18% from Amazon & the remaining 2%, if that, from Temu. I also prefer quality, dependable & longer lasting tools for my use. I was simply curious about Temu’s products & I wanted to share my experience with you. I have been surprised with the results so far. But of course, if quality is one’s need, Temu is definitely not the place. We appreciate your support, thanks again for watching!
Hello & thank you for watching our video! We truly appreciate your support. We're happy to know that you enjoyed our content. To answer your question, I purchased two separately at about $29 each, so I paid just under $60 for both. I checked the price right before I wrote this comment & I found some for $23 each. Just an update, the stock guides are still performing great. I don't use them all the time because I can only run material that is one inch thick or less. I have to remove them whenever I need to cut anything that's thicker than one inch. They also have to be removed for thin cuts that require the clearance when using a push stick. Otherwise, the stock guides work well, no complaints. We hope to continue hearing from you in the future. Thanks again! ~Johnny
Well done good review I would like to see more of these reviews and comparisons to the other sites thanks. And also she should show the measuring tools and make sure they line up and are accurate against it well-known measuring tool. Overall the video was very good since you guys are new, but I wouldn't waste time with an introduction as you did or like a storytelling that necessary don't waste people's time! Straight to the point right to the comparison be done with it showing the mass difference might be good to. But overall well done. Columbus Michigan
Hello Steven! First of all, thank you for taking the time to watch our video. Your suggestions are exactly what we need in order to improve our content. I will definitely follow your advice. Us working together is the way to go. I will certainly upload more tool reviews & comparisons very soon & we’ll be sure to take those reviews further wherever applicable. We appreciate your support, thanks again for watching! ~Johnny
Hello Tom & thanks for watching our video! We’re so glad that you saved some money, awesome! We hope to hear from you in the future. We appreciate your support, thanks again for watching!
I love bloopers, so funny So words remind us of being a small kid again - say spaghetti or backgammon, how about aluminum I can't stop laughing 🤣 More videos for sure Guys
I see some of the comparisons show amazon items as prime ( which is free shipping if you have prime ); Are you still saving substantially with Temu? I assume they charge shipping?
Hello & thank you for taking the time to watch our video! Yes, everything I ordered from Temu had free shipping. Also, I’m not sure if prices are the same or higher if you do not have Amazon Prime but either way, you would still save a significant amount of money by going with Amazon comparable items from Temu. Personally, I do most of my shopping on Amazon. I was simply curious about Temu & wanted to share my experience with you. Always be sure to know exactly what you will be charged for before making a purchase wherever you think of purchasing from. We appreciate your support, thanks again for watching!
@@thebunkerwoodworks Thank You for your response! I Do have Prime so I was curious. I will do some comparison shopping as I normally do since my wife's so tight she squeaks when she walks and I will now add Temu to my comparison list. Especially for my wood shop needs. Thanks Again.
Hello Shane! First of all, thank you for taking the time to watch our video & for leaving us a comment. We can't wait to share our woodworking knowledge with you but we also would like to ask that you not hesitate to share any of your woodworking knowledge, advice, tips or suggestions with us. We hope to make some future woodworking tips & tricks videos using our viewer suggested tips & tricks to share with the rest of our viewers. We appreciate your support, thanks for watching!
Thx Rob! Johnny has his own tools…these will be mine! 👍🏼 I don’t need to spend hundreds on my stuff…save that for clothes, shoes, purses! Well, it’s not like I do much anymore, so it’s money to save for my kids/grandkids! Thanks for watching Rob! Take care ~ Tanya and Johnny
Hello & thank you for taking the time to watch our video! So I take it you’re a seasoned beginner, lol. We hope we can provide you with whatever we can from our limited knowledge about woodworking, but we also hope we can learn as much as we can from you monte. We hope to continue hearing from you in our future videos. We appreciate your support, thanks again for watching! ~Johnny & Tanya
@@thebunkerwoodworks I keep learning things some are well da stuff I should have known long ago. Somethings I learned from my father, figured out, RUclips, the hard way, … fortunately no serious injuries worst injuries were from sanders. I could hold classes on what not to do. Remember it’s not a mistake. It’s a learning experience.! I’m near Tulsa
Thanks for sharing your experiences Monte! I had a very good friend in the military who was from Tulsa, his last name was Braucher. I first started liking woodworking at the age of about 8 years old from watching & helping my father with woodworking but I didn't start actively building projects until 15 years ago. I was also a wood flooring installer for 8 years which is where I picked up my basic woodworking skills. About 6 months into installing wood flooring, I sustained a bad injury while using a miter saw. I failed to follow some very basic safety rules which led to the injury but since then, I make sure to read tool manuals, be focused on the process at hand, not be in a rush & always use common sense. I certainly learned my lesson but I am always learning & improving as I grow as a woodworker. Despite my experience, I still consider myself a beginner woodworker. Aside from learning things from my father, I also have picked up so much knowledge from reading countless books, magazines & articles, RUclips, & like you, I have also had to figure things out as well as the hard way, lol. I appreciate your advice Monte. Thank you & have a great day! ~Johnny
Thanks for sharing Marcy! Tanya has ordered kitchen and gardening stuff, but has zero luck with clothes. She sizes up like you mentioned, but then the rest of the outfit fits her loose and wonky. She did have luck with her “bubble shoes”! We were quite surprised as far as the tool results! Thanks bbc again for watching the video! Take care ~ Johnny and Tanya
Hello Jim! On average it usually takes anywhere between 7 & 10 days to receive items that we order from Temu. We appreciate your support, thanks for watching!
Sonja, Honestly it just depends on what you’re buying. For clothing, I’ve had NO luck. I’ve seen many other TEMU hails on RUclips that have great clothing reviews but no for me. Then this is where things get tricky…you can return the first item for free no questions asked but if you have any additional items you pay $7.99 for shipping back each additional item. I’ll be uploading a VLOG on stuff I bought and see what you think after that. Most of what you find on Amazon is on TEMU. Btw, Johnny and I appreciate your support here on this channel too. I hope you’ve been feeling good! How’s the medicinal marijuana working for you? Helping with your pain or neurophathy? Sending bunches of hugs and lots of luv to you and the kids! ~ Tanya and Johnny
Hello Rich! Thanks for watching our video, we truly appreciate it. I’m not sure if the Temu lead fits the Pica pencil but give me a couple of days so I can find out & I’ll get back to you. Thanks again!
Hello David! My wife & I just found out about Temu a few months ago. I was curious about their tools which is why we made this video to share with you. We weren’t expecting too much but we were surprised at the results. We appreciate your support, thanks for watching!
I get my Amazon delivered for free and usually within a day. I have heard that Temu takes up to 2 weeks and there is a charge for shipping. And you are sending all of your information directly to China. At least if I deal with Amazon, I am dealing through them to China so the information stays here.
Hello! First of all, we appreciate you taking the time to watch our video, thank you. I have also ordered countless woodworking products from Amazon & it is definitely my preferred place to shop. I was curious about Temu so I ordered some products. Surprisingly, shipping has always been at no cost & everything I’ve ordered has always been delivered to me anywhere between 7 to 10 days. I respect everyone’s freedom to do business anywhere they choose, but thanks for the heads up though. Thanks again for watching! ~Johnny
Hello & thank you for watching our video! We appreciate your feedback & will take your suggestion into serious consideration. We appreciate your support, thanks again for watching!
@AQuaaHaZe wow, lol, that’s interesting. I’m glad we were able to show you a tool that you’ve never seen before. Since you have woodworking experience, we would greatly appreciate any woodworking tips or advice that you might consider sharing with us. We appreciate your support, thanks for watching!
@@thebunkerwoodworks is it used for marking cuts quickly and such? because I can’t really think of what you would use it for other then getting quick measurements while in the shop as using something like that framing a house or sheething a roof would have no purpose really and surely wouldn’t fit proper on your belt
I agree, I can see it being better suited for small woodworking projects that require more precise measurements since it has slots, made for a 0.5mm mechanical pencil, in 64th of an inch increments. I’ve seen numerous videos in which woodworkers use these types of rulers for smaller fine woodworking projects such as a small jewelry box for example. Personally, I’ve never even used one myself but I was curious about it, lol. I enjoy discovering new tools that are out there. I understand that every tool has it’s own particular applications & are not suited for everyone but I’m glad you got to see something you’d never seen or heard of before. Thanks again!
Their office is actually American based, the have wear houses and manufacturing located in other countries. The fact is, even “Made In The USA” labeled items tend to contain parts that come from other countries.
Hello & thanks for watching! I buy a ton of American made products. I would have to guess that maybe 99.9999% of my tools are made here, lol. However, I do wonder how many of our home products are made elsewhere. I respect everyone’s freedom to do business anywhere they choose. We appreciate your support, thanks again for watching!

I've been woodworking most of my life, since childhood in my dad's shop. As an adult I have been actively playing with wood for about 50 years, now age 76. Thank you for a very informative and leisurely stroll through some of Temu's offerings. My wife has been shopping on Temu for a few weeks now for things she has been interested in. I may have to check out their tool line, although I already have a boatload of tools in my shop. Blessings, Glen

Drill stops: Temu stops feature the set screw driving itself into the drill bit itself. The set you showed from Amazon were split stops, where a slit is cut into the stop body, and the locking screw actually closes the inner diameter of the stop around the body of the drill. This style is infinitely more sturdy and stable, and in my 30+ years of experience well worth the added expense.
Hello & thanks for watching! Your expertise is exactly what we need here. We appreciate the information. Thanks again for watching! -Johnny
Thank you for demonstrating the side by side tool comparison. I’ve been in woodworking for about 35 years and have learned that there are many variations on the same tool. Some shuttle and some glaring differences but when used carefully, a good outcome can happen.
You’ve peeked my interest in the price ranges for literally the same thing, so as always ~ do your research before buying.keep the videos coming!
Thanks again! Tanya & I hope to continue hearing from you in the future as well as share our knowledge with each other as we continue on our woodworking journeys. We shall leave no man or woman behind. Thank you!
It's crazy how the prices are compared. It's the same thing as going to a hardware store looking at 4 hammers all the same features but different colors per manufacturer all made from the same company but ranges from 8 to 20 dollars a hammer just for the color and brand decal. Either Amazon has bamboozled us on the prices or Temu plays that long term foreign corporation take over strategy. Sell it cheap for almost no profits to cut out competition. Once your competition is out with no other contenders they jack the prices up. Or Temu is really exposing the secrets of how cheap things cost to make and our high inflation.
Fun.Guy.Forager, Thanks for taking time to watch our video. We greatly appreciate your support. Regarding Amazon and TEMU, it's hard to say what's going on. Amazon still has a few things going for it such as: it has many independent sellers who do provide things that TEMU doesn't, there are people who refuse to buy directly from China (TEMU), and there may be a huge group of people who either haven't heard of or looked into TEMU or don't realize that some products are the same (even down to the crazy letters you find on some of items you buy from either). We're pretty sure there are many theories out there, but we're just here to show differences in prices for those who may be interested in woodworking or are woodworkers already and can get deals on items that they may be able to use. Thanks again for watching!

FINGERS! FINGERS FINGERS!
No point in using a push rod if you leave you OTHER hand on the wood!!! C’mon matey please take care 😊
Enjoyed this review, great idea and very genuine.
I will start woodworking soon, just buying my equipment right now and finding a space!
Bob
England 😅
Hello Bob! Thank you for watching our video. Thanks for your concern, I completely understand what you’re saying. Since it was my first time using the stock guides, I felt the need to guide it better with my hand along with the push rod. Although, I do have to be very careful. We’re excited that you’ll be woodworking soon, and we hope we continue to hear from you in the future. We hope the weather in England has been treating you well because we’ve been going through bad heat waves with temperatures of 45 degrees Celsius or in the 100’s Fahrenheit non stop for the past month here in Texas. We appreciate your support, thanks again for watching!

Yes, I would love to see more. You both did a great job with this video. I have been around wood wiwking for 30 years.
Hello Len! We will definitely make more videos like this one. We’re happy to know that you enjoyed it. We appreciate your support, thanks for watching!
Been woodworking for 35 years from the uk keep it going thanks
Hello Craig! We appreciate your support, thanks for watching!
Great to see you guys on here! Thanks for sharing. I just placed my first Temu order after watching your video.
Thanks for having a channel that's bit going to be focused on just being sponsored. I'm sure that's nice and all, but some of these RUclipsrs have taken that to the extreme.

Good show guys! I am slowly putting my little shop together with limited budget. I am 82 yrs old Air Force vet and fortnately good at "restoring" used pawn shop power tools ( I've had not too many bloopers so far!) and the Precision Stock Guides arenest on my "WIN" list now, Thanks for the great review, keep it up!
Hello & thank you for watching our video, we truly appreciate it! Most importantly, thank you for your service. We're happy to hear that you enjoyed the video. We hope to continue hearing from you in the future. Thanks again!
Doing woodworking for about 20 years now, I got a set of Ryobi tools from my new wife for Christmas. And have not stopped building. Some of those tools I bought are long gone, while others are still going strong. By all means please do more reviews.

I've been hesitant to order anything on temu, but may have to give it a shot some time. From Wisconsin, USA. I've always had an interest in woodworking, but just decided to go hard a little over a year ago. Built a tiny workshop 8x12 and bought up way more tools than I should have before even making anything. I'm just now starting to make some things on my few days off work. So far I've had great results and happy people who received a nice gift.
Hi Nathan, I'm Johnny! Your story sounds very similar to mine. I also went as far as my budget allowed & I started acquiring all kinds of tools about 1 year ago. Looking back, I think I might have gone a bit too far, lol, because I have so many tools that I haven't even used or needed so far. Before I began buying tools, I did have a miter saw, drills, circular saw, scroll saw & a jigsaw in storage but I went crazy & purchased so many other power tools, both big & small. Since we lived in an apartment, there was no space for me to woodwork but 8 months ago, we purchased a home with a one car garage so I was finally able to move all of my new & existing tools out of storage & into my garage, aka, The Bunker. Despite having about 8 years of wood flooring installation experience, I haven't built very many projects myself but I have grown my woodworking knowledge significantly by reading countless books, magazines & articles as well as watching over 5 years of woodworking content on RUclips. I'm very confident about my basic woodworking skills but I do realize that I have so much yet to learn as far as my hands on experience is concerned. Although, my passion for woodworking is very strong & I really enjoy learning all I can about woodworking. My wife & I are extremely excited to share our knowledge & journey with you as well as be a part of yours. We hope that we can share our knowledge with each other so we can grow together as woodworkers. I'm happy to hear that you're enjoying woodworking & we hope to hear from you again in the future! Thanks for watching! -Johnny
As Johnny has demonstrated, do plenty of research before “add to cart”. I’ve been buying from TEMU for a while and have been impressed with their quality. It just goes to show you there are many sellers of the same thing - only their name changes. The Chinese market is ripe with knock-offs of a good idea.
Hello SuperZmeister! First of all, thank you for your support. I agree, thorough research on each & every tool, regardless of it’s price or size, is the best thing to do in order to get the most for our money. Thanks for watching! -Johnny
Thanks for the video love your wife’s shirt 👍🏻keep the videos coming looking forward to more videos!
Hello John! My wife Tanya said “thanks”, it’s one of her favorite shirts. We appreciate your support, & we hope to continue hearing from you in the future. Thanks for watching! -Johnny
Great video. I will have to check in to some of these. Also, congrats on getting you chanel up and going. Looking forward to new videos.
We appreciate your support, thanks for watching!
Great vide and Kia Ora from New Zealand. I've bought a few tools from Temu. Forstner bits, angle finders, plug cutters etc. They are pretty good for the price.
Hello Kia Ora & thank you for taking the time to watch our video! We hope the weather has been treating you well in New Zealand. We also hope to hear from you in the future. We appreciate your support, thanks again for watching! ~Johnny & Tanya
Great video guys. I just bought 3 of the items you reviewed. Thanks.
Hello Michael & thanks for taking the time to watch our video! We hope you enjoy using your new tools. We appreciate your support, thanks again for watching!
I had been wondering about Temu and if it is worth buying anything from them. Thank you for the comparisons to Amazon products. Now I can order a few items from Temu without concern. Keep up the great content!!
You are so welcome mrgrudge! Some things are worth what you pay. Tanya and I check out if we can find it on Amazon then we’ll give it a try. I was extremely surprised with the tools. There are still a few more to review, but sometime later. Tanya will have a VLOG coming up that might help you better decide if looking into TEMU is for you to try. Thanks again for your continued support on this channel too! Stay safe ~ Johnny
Came here because I was watching your Rando vidoes. Love this channel! I don't even do woodworking. It's just so chill, relaxing, and informative. Love it! Thanks so much and merry Christmas!!! Hit up the HEB for me. 😀
Hello! Thanks for watching our videos, we appreciate it. Merry Christmas to you & your family. We'll make sure to hit up the HEB for you, lol. Thanks again!
Thanks. I started in 72 off and on. I am not a table saw advocate but I love radial arm saws!
Hello Bruce & thank you for taking the time to watch our video! Thanks for sharing your woodworking background. I’ve only seen radial am saws on RUclips, but I think they’re interesting. We appreciate your support, thanks again for watching!
I have found lot of good deals on Temu. I'm enjoying learning about wood working hope all is well with you all 👍
Hi Kris! I agree, Temu does have great deals & prices. We appreciate your support, thanks for watching!
good review, like the saw guides. I was wondering about them.
Hello David! I’ve been using the stock guides quite a bit & I’m very impressed. We appreciate your support, thanks for watching!
Good job Johnny and tonya. I appreciate you taking the time to check out these tools. Those of us that work for a living need the best deals we can find. I will be interested in your longer term opinions about the stock guides. Thanks
Hello Chris! First of all, thanks for taking the time to watch our video. Expect more of these tool reviews in the future. I'll be sure to keep you updated on the stock guides. Thanks for watching! -Johnny
Just starting to teach myself woodworking. Love to see your wife? In the video. Sorry this is my first video of y’all’s. I’ve been trying to slowly introduce my 2yo as I try and learn anything about fixing or woodworking.
I may be a perfectionist… but I’m astounded how hard it is to get a truly straight line perfect face of a board without seemingly major shop equipment… I can get very close and probably negligible but it’s such a bother…
Hello Todd & thank you for our watching our video, we truly appreciate it! It's awesome to know that you are starting your journey into woodworking. I love woodworking & I've been doing it for 15 years now but I do consider myself a beginner woodworker. We're excited to share our woodworking journey with you & we hope to become a part of yours as well. Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with being a perfectionist, I am a perfectionist myself, lol. We hope to continue hearing from you in the future. Thanks again!
Hola Johnny & Tanya, thanks for making this. I'm in Dallas, a beginner woodworker, and recently started ordering from Temu. Some stuff good; others not but able to return for free. Where are y'all located at? Would like to see more Temu vs Amazon, and also how to use such tools (use cases). Oh, and pls do Harbor Freight tool reviews. They have good stuff at low pricing.
Hello Nicole & thanks for watching our video, we truly appreciate it! We are very excited to have you here! We're located in South Texas in a city called Weslaco. We're about 2 miles north of the Mexican border. We are working on uploading some more Temu vs. Amazon videos, so please keep an eye out for those. Also, I will be uploading a Harbor Freight video this coming Saturday. Thanks again for your support!
I don't have 1/2 the tools you do Johnny, I do have like 100 screwdriver bits lol lol lol
I don't build things so much as I restore old rocking chairs, bird mansions and right now I am stripping the 7 layers of paint off my banister, hand rail and 12 spindles. I prefer the natural look of the wood than paint. My baseboards are a foot high and I love it. The house I live in is just over 110yrs so you can picture all the wood [I know you can Johnny lol]
I enjoyed this video very much Respect & Peace My Friends xo
Kim, I also prefer the look of natural wood. I can imagine all the beautiful wood in your home. Thanks for watching! -Johnny
Watching it now!!!
Thanks Jamie! We hope you enjoyed it!!!
hi, I found Temu a few weeks ago and got some fishing gear off them as well as tools.. I was just wondering how you can test the square by referencing two opposite faces on your board - how do you know they are parallel?
Works if the sides are parallel
Hello & thanks for watching! The board was perfectly square & the sides perfectly parallel. The only way to test a square properly is to test it on a board that is square with parallel sides. Thanks for educating those who might not know that. That’s exactly how we should work together, I truly appreciate it. Thanks for watching! -Johnny
Thanks for a great review of comparison of tools ! Really was helpful .
I do scrollsaw projects and my husband does work with bigger wood projects .
Can't wait to see your next reviews .
And you 2 are a cute couple 🥰
Hi Lora! Thanks for taking the time to watch our video. I enjoy building boxes & I also enjoy using my scrollsaw. We would luv to be able to see some of your projects. My wife Tanya on the other hand, is brand new to woodworking but she is eager to start learning. We hope to continue hearing from you in future videos. We appreciate your support, thanks again for watching!
For me, the biggest issue with Temu would be delivery times. Amazon can deliver some items to me on the same day, and most things in two days. A couple of dollars is worth it to me in order to be able to move forward with a job. I've heard that Temu can take over a month for some items.
Hello Peter! First of all, thank you for taking the time to watch our video. I have purchased 95% of my tools from Home Depot, Lowe's, Amazon & a few other online woodworking stores. I agree, Amazon's shipping is fast & I trust & prefer them when ordering tools online. I was only curious about Temu which is why I wanted to share my experience with you. On the several orders that I placed with Temu, shipping was at no cost & I received each order on average anywhere between 7 & 10 days. For those who are on a tight budget & want to get the most for their money & are willing to wait a bit longer, Temu might be ideal. Personally, I will stick with Amazon, lol. I still have plenty of other tools from Temu that I plan to review, but I don't see myself continuing to order anymore tools from them. Like I said, I was simply curious. We appreciate your support, thanks again for watching! ~Johnny
@@thebunkerwoodworks 7-10 days is quicker than I've seen other reports (Still long enough for me to stay with Amazon). Thanks for replying!
Great Guys I was waiting for this
I'm so excited for you both
Got to go now and watch your video xoxoxo
Thanks so much Kim!
@@thebunkerwoodworks Thank you
Nice info. Thanks for sharing.

I bought a mechanical pencil from Temu with the 3.0mm lead and it works great
Hello & thank you for watching our video! I'm to glad to hear that the pencil worked out well for you. Thanks again!
excellent video guys, new subscriber just hopped on board
Hello Tom! Thank you for taking the time to watch our video. We hope to continue hearing from you in the future. We appreciate your support, thanks again for watching!
Great information and learned a lot on this video. Thanks for posting.
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome video - will definitely be checking back in. Interested in the stock guides. What do you think is the thinnest material these would work with. I sometimes work with 1/2 sheet goods and I was looking at a similar set of stock guides on Amazon and it said 1" was the minimum thickness they could be used with. Looks like you were using thinner stock. Any feedback is appreciated!
Hello & thanks for watching our video, we truly appreciate it! As far as the stock guides that I ordered from Temu, I can feed anything between 1/16" to 1 1/8" thick. It all depends on how far up you set the t-track on the auxiliary fence when you make the jig, so the thickness range of the wood that you use can vary. I hope this helps. Thanks again!
Definitely want to learn more about Temu! Thanks!
Hello Steve! First of all, thanks for taking the time to watch our video, we truly appreciate your support. We will certainly make more Temu tool review vids. We have plenty more to show you. Tanya & I hope to continue hearing from you throughout our woodworking & RUclips journey. Thanks again for watching! ~Johnny
Id say that's a pretty good outcome 5 to 1...i want to see what else y'all got from Temu..
Much love Johnny and Tanya xx😊
Hi Jamie! Yes, we were very happy with the outcome. We will definitely record more Temu tool review videos. Thanks for watching! -Johnny
Good revu , Beenworking with wood over 45 years
Hi, id love if you’d also check the measures on the rulers, not just the angles.
Hello & thanks for watching our video, we truly appreciate it! We accept your request regarding checking the measurements. Thanks again!
I dont know what it is but i loved this video 👍 maybe because of your both calm voices idk 😁 nice job 👍
Hello & thanks for watching our video, we truly appreciate!
Great video and tips thanks for sharing

Have you looked into the router table top and fence, I been playing with wood working for the last 2 years
Hello & thank you for watching our video! I've seen a few router table tops & fences on Temu but I haven't ordered any yet. I currently do not have a router table so I might just consider ordering one, thanks for the heads up. If I do place an order, I'll make sure to make a review video on it. We appreciate your support, thanks for watching!
Well I learned some things y'all. Thanks guys! The bloopers were cute. Loved it! Love, hugs, belly rubs
Hi jojoelf1! We appreciate your support, thanks for watching!
I'll probably never do any woodwork. This video was very entertaining. More bloopers too
Hi Angel! We're so happy that you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching! -Johnny
Thank you for the information. It's good info.
You’re welcome 👍🏼
Never saw the last one before, looks cool
Thank you!! Until now, I had avoided Temu because of Chinese affiliations. Your comparisons with Amazon prices have changed my mind. However, if I'm looking for a high-quality long-lasting product, I'll be buying from a reputable American company. IMHO - you don't learn from a Woodpecker, you learn why you need it (or not).
Hello Roy & thank you for watching our video! I completely agree with you. I would have to say that more than 80% of my woodworking tools I purchased from American companies. Another 18% from Amazon & the remaining 2%, if that, from Temu. I also prefer quality, dependable & longer lasting tools for my use. I was simply curious about Temu’s products & I wanted to share my experience with you. I have been surprised with the results so far. But of course, if quality is one’s need, Temu is definitely not the place. We appreciate your support, thanks again for watching!
Great review! Question with the stock guides is it a set of two or did you have to buy two to make it a set?
Hello & thank you for watching our video! We truly appreciate your support. We're happy to know that you enjoyed our content. To answer your question, I purchased two separately at about $29 each, so I paid just under $60 for both. I checked the price right before I wrote this comment & I found some for $23 each. Just an update, the stock guides are still performing great. I don't use them all the time because I can only run material that is one inch thick or less. I have to remove them whenever I need to cut anything that's thicker than one inch. They also have to be removed for thin cuts that require the clearance when using a push stick. Otherwise, the stock guides work well, no complaints. We hope to continue hearing from you in the future. Thanks again! ~Johnny
@@thebunkerwoodworks thank you for the reply! Do recommend any 24” T Squares from Temu?
I do not recommend those T Squares. I've never ordered one but I've watched other videos showing bad results with them. Thanks again!
Well done good review I would like to see more of these reviews and comparisons to the other sites thanks. And also she should show the measuring tools and make sure they line up and are accurate against it well-known measuring tool. Overall the video was very good since you guys are new, but I wouldn't waste time with an introduction as you did or like a storytelling that necessary don't waste people's time! Straight to the point right to the comparison be done with it showing the mass difference might be good to. But overall well done. Columbus Michigan
Hello Steven! First of all, thank you for taking the time to watch our video. Your suggestions are exactly what we need in order to improve our content. I will definitely follow your advice. Us working together is the way to go. I will certainly upload more tool reviews & comparisons very soon & we’ll be sure to take those reviews further wherever applicable. We appreciate your support, thanks again for watching! ~Johnny
Thanks you’ve just saved me som money 😊

So words remind us of being a small kid again - say spaghetti or backgammon, how about aluminum I can't stop laughing 🤣
More videos for sure Guys
We're so happy you enjoyed the bloopers. We had a great time recording this video, lol.
@@thebunkerwoodworks I had great time watching thank you GUYS
I think on Amazon, we can look at who the sellers are, then we can somehow work out their country of origin.
I see some of the comparisons show amazon items as prime ( which is free shipping if you have prime ); Are you still saving substantially with Temu? I assume they charge shipping?
Hello & thank you for taking the time to watch our video! Yes, everything I ordered from Temu had free shipping. Also, I’m not sure if prices are the same or higher if you do not have Amazon Prime but either way, you would still save a significant amount of money by going with Amazon comparable items from Temu. Personally, I do most of my shopping on Amazon. I was simply curious about Temu & wanted to share my experience with you. Always be sure to know exactly what you will be charged for before making a purchase wherever you think of purchasing from. We appreciate your support, thanks again for watching!
@@thebunkerwoodworks Thank You for your response! I Do have Prime so I was curious. I will do some comparison shopping as I normally do since my wife's so tight she squeaks when she walks and I will now add Temu to my comparison list. Especially for my wood shop needs. Thanks Again.
Hello Rich! You’re very welcome.
Thanks for that, I was wondering how Temu was. I have been wood working for 5 years now. I primarly build funiture

@@thebunkerwoodworks I keep learning things some are well da stuff I should have known long ago. Somethings I learned from my father, figured out, RUclips, the hard way, … fortunately no serious injuries worst injuries were from sanders. I could hold classes on what not to do.
Remember it’s not a mistake. It’s a learning experience.!
I’m near Tulsa
Thanks for sharing your experiences Monte! I had a very good friend in the military who was from Tulsa, his last name was Braucher. I first started liking woodworking at the age of about 8 years old from watching & helping my father with woodworking but I didn't start actively building projects until 15 years ago. I was also a wood flooring installer for 8 years which is where I picked up my basic woodworking skills. About 6 months into installing wood flooring, I sustained a bad injury while using a miter saw. I failed to follow some very basic safety rules which led to the injury but since then, I make sure to read tool manuals, be focused on the process at hand, not be in a rush & always use common sense. I certainly learned my lesson but I am always learning & improving as I grow as a woodworker. Despite my experience, I still consider myself a beginner woodworker. Aside from learning things from my father, I also have picked up so much knowledge from reading countless books, magazines & articles, RUclips, & like you, I have also had to figure things out as well as the hard way, lol. I appreciate your advice Monte. Thank you & have a great day! ~Johnny
How long was the wait for your orders to arrive from Temu?
Hello! I usually receive Temu orders about 12 days after placing an order. Thanks for watching!
I love there clothing, just size up and if your big in the chest 2 sizes up. We've bought kitchen, tools and clothes so far
Thanks for sharing Marcy! Tanya has ordered kitchen and gardening stuff, but has zero luck with clothes. She sizes up like you mentioned, but then the rest of the outfit fits her loose and wonky. She did have luck with her “bubble shoes”!
We were quite surprised as far as the tool results! Thanks bbc again for watching the video! Take care
~ Johnny and Tanya
I've heard that sellers on other sites are getting their products from Temu to resell.
That would explain pricing. We appreciate your support, thanks for watching!
After 3 months, is the stock guide holding up?
The stock guides have been holding up well. I’ve had zero issues with them. Thanks for asking!
How long did it take for your orders to be filled?
Hello Jim! On average it usually takes anywhere between 7 & 10 days to receive items that we order from Temu. We appreciate your support, thanks for watching!
Did you pay for shipping?
These prices are crazy good Guys
Hi Kim! We've gotten free shipping on all of our orders.
@@thebunkerwoodworks Gatta love it
Is Temu a good place to shop?
Sonja, Honestly it just depends on what you’re buying. For clothing, I’ve had NO luck. I’ve seen many other TEMU hails on RUclips that have great clothing reviews but no for me. Then this is where things get tricky…you can return the first item for free no questions asked but if you have any additional items you pay $7.99 for shipping back each additional item. I’ll be uploading a VLOG on stuff I bought and see what you think after that. Most of what you find on Amazon is on TEMU. Btw, Johnny and I appreciate your support here on this channel too. I hope you’ve been feeling good! How’s the medicinal marijuana working for you? Helping with your pain or neurophathy? Sending bunches of hugs and lots of luv to you and the kids!

Do you know if the lead ( from Temu ) that fits in the Long nose Mechanical Pencil will also fit in the Pica Pencil?
Hello Rich! Thanks for watching our video, we truly appreciate it. I’m not sure if the Temu lead fits the Pica pencil but give me a couple of days so I can find out & I’ll get back to you. Thanks again!
I didn't even know that temu existed
Hello David! My wife & I just found out about Temu a few months ago. I was curious about their tools which is why we made this video to share with you. We weren’t expecting too much but we were surprised at the results. We appreciate your support, thanks for watching!
I get my Amazon delivered for free and usually within a day. I have heard that Temu takes up to 2 weeks and there is a charge for shipping. And you are sending all of your information directly to China. At least if I deal with Amazon, I am dealing through them to China so the information stays here.
Hello! First of all, we appreciate you taking the time to watch our video, thank you. I have also ordered countless woodworking products from Amazon & it is definitely my preferred place to shop. I was curious about Temu so I ordered some products. Surprisingly, shipping has always been at no cost & everything I’ve ordered has always been delivered to me anywhere between 7 to 10 days. I respect everyone’s freedom to do business anywhere they choose, but thanks for the heads up though. Thanks again for watching! ~Johnny

When and why are you using a t ruler 😂
Hi AQuaaHaZe! A t ruler is a measuring tool used for woodworking. Thanks for watching!👍🏼
@@thebunkerwoodworks I’m a carpenter and do woodworking in our shop and I’ve never ever even seen one of those 😂

Since you have woodworking experience, we would greatly appreciate any woodworking tips or advice that you might consider sharing with us. We appreciate your support, thanks for watching!
@@thebunkerwoodworks is it used for marking cuts quickly and such? because I can’t really think of what you would use it for other then getting quick measurements while in the shop as using something like that framing a house or sheething a roof would have no purpose really and surely wouldn’t fit proper on your belt
I agree, I can see it being better suited for small woodworking projects that require more precise measurements since it has slots, made for a 0.5mm mechanical pencil, in 64th of an inch increments. I’ve seen numerous videos in which woodworkers use these types of rulers for smaller fine woodworking projects such as a small jewelry box for example. Personally, I’ve never even used one myself but I was curious about it, lol. I enjoy discovering new tools that are out there. I understand that every tool has it’s own particular applications & are not suited for everyone but I’m glad you got to see something you’d never seen or heard of before. Thanks again!
