I am 51 yr old father of two, with a son who is starting woodwork in Secondary school. He shares the same first name as you. Love your stuff, its absolutely great to see your work, and you're an inspiration to a lot of people I am sure, myself included. Might be doing some wood work with the lad in the garage in the New Year.
It's great to hear your son can still take a woodworking class. Most schools in my area have removed woodworking & metal shop classes & all the equipment scrapped or given away, sadly.... Hello 👋🏻 from Southern California 🌴
@@annettev8362 Yeah, that's understandable. It's dangerous to use a band saw with a cellphone in your hand. Such a shame that an amazing trade won't be shared with today's youth. Videos on wood working are all well and good. But there's so much more to experiencing it first hand. The smell of the workshop. The smooth, warm feel of a fresh slab of wood about to take shape.
@@PetesTools.BiggestFan I said pre 2016. That’s year before 2016. Since 2016, things started to get more obnoxious and saturated. Especially vlogs for no reason. These vlogs are more what vlogs should be. Wholesome, calm, and quant.
My heart broke a little bit for you when that salt box imploded. :( I love your videos, your attitude, your work ethic and your Irish brogue. I'll be watching probably all of your older videos in the coming days and weeks. Best wishes from Tennessee, USA.
When you mentioned that you had that 6" square off your parents as a 21st birthday gift, it made me think back (I'm now over 50) about the few things I have left from birthday gifts over the years; a watch for my 11th birthday from my gramdpa, books,and tools here and there over the years.. That's all I have left. All of them are still in use. My 12 year old daughter wears the watch, has read most of the books, and used a fair few of the tools.
Mate... When your box broke.... I felt that.. I felt that.. great video, I love it that RUclipsrs are keeping the old ways alive and don't need to worry so much about the profitability of the product being made. You should raffle off the items you make and just enjoy the process of making by hand. Well done. Cheers J
Been watching your videos a lot the last few days, your attitude, work ethic and videos in general are very refreshing. I'm a journeyman auto mechanic by trade but your peaking my interest in getting into wood working, I've even been snooping around on Ebay keeping my eye out for old woodworking tools lol. Cheers and all the best from "across the pond" as we say here in Newfoundland lol.
I seem to recall you saying that building furniture would not be profitable for you, but your attention to detail and devotion to wood working makes me believe that you could be a master at it. I could imagine you accepting commission pieces of incredible beauty that brings out the beauty of the wood in the manner of the old craftsman.
I seriously look forward to these vlogs so much! Something about the simplicity of them make them so much more interesting than any other “woodworking” channel I’ve come across. It’s a rare glimpse into someone’s daily work process when most people make videos based on a new project they are showing themselves build. It’s also fascinating seeing a bit of an Irish man’s perspective 😅😊
Love your videos, keep it up! Great great workshop you have there. Hope it is not getting too cold during winter time. As a German I really like your Irish accent. Cheers. Jan
I have zero talent for woodwork. After an attempt to varnish a pinball machine in yr9 DT resulted in all the moving parts together I gave up. Love watching your stuff, in a time when social media is full of frauds your genuine talent is refreshing. 👍🏻
I love your workshop setup! I come from a farm background with loads of out houses but I flew the coop before I was 17 to serve my apprenticeship as a fitter in the big shmoke. I settled into urban life in East Cork but my greatest regret is we bought a townhouse 20 years ago with no back or side entrance so no possibility of a nice shed out the back that I’ve been hankering for for about the last 10 years! I am involved with my local men’s shed which gives me a space to do some tinkering but there’s no place like your own place! 😂 Well done for your honesty also when the box broke on you! You could have skipped that bit but by showing us it happened tells us something of your integrity. It happens us all! ( I thought it was just me.. 🤣) Keep it up lad FairPlay!
I love watching your videos. Gives me the drive to keep working on my own projects. Lately, I've been working on a wardrobe out of western red cedar for my apartment since my girlfriends clothes take up all of our current closet space 🤣 built her a yarn cabinet a while back too since she makes blankets so she had stockpiles of yarn all over the place until i built that
I’ve never even thought about doing woodworking before but your enthusiasm and knowledge really is addicting! I might have to give it a try! Keep doing what you’re doing Eoin, it’s brilliant!
I have no idea why my algorithm brought your content to me, but I'm so glad it did. It's a joy to watch you work. Your content makes me feel like I'm working right next to you. You present a very friendly, genuine, approachable demeanor. Please, keep up the great work!
Its fascinating watching your videos, your commentary is hypnotic ! I emigrated to America but Ive always wished I went to Family in Dungarvan instead !
Keep going Eoin! The next salt box is going to be even better and it was wonderful to be included on the journey even though the end result wasn't what you'd hoped. My heart also broke with you when the salt box fell apart and yet we learn to get up and try again. If at first you don't succeed try, try again. The little train that could is a nursery rhyme that has always stuck with me. I think I may actually engrave it on some wood once I have my own place. Seeing you make all of these things reawkens my hope that I can too! Thanks for that. I hope you continue to flourish and make many more wonderful wooden creations. I learn so much here and it is a very nice corner of youtube I am very grateful for.
Everyone should be tuning into this channel. I like your positive outlook ,with the good work ethic , challenging yourself. And that accent is a great topper. Great work brother
So I came across your channel and I found you using a very funny shaped wooden hammer, it is the same thing that my granpda has/had in his chest of tools, I now know what the hell that funny wooden hammer is for. smacking the joint together, it explains why it looks the way it does all rounded/impacted down. A nice memory. cheers.
You have a wonderful accent Eoin. It's reassuring to watch a craftsman take such good care of his tools it is!. I started sweeping the floor in a local furniture factory and now have my own barn woodwork shop over here on the pacific coast. Always on the lookout for secondhand machines, I picked up a band saw a few years back, fixed it up and now it's worth its weight in gold! Good luck to ya fella!
Brilliant! Thank you for including the fail. Sometimes it happens and we learn from it, that's why the old fellas are such good woodworkers, they made these mistakes decades ago. Showing errors makes it even instructive cos it's what we mortals will do and have to fix. You are a champ, keep it up!
I love your videos! Thank you so much for bringing us along for your adventures, and it helps that you’re easy on the eyes! Keep up the great work, and thanks again for amazing tips
Your long form content is so relaxing. I am really surprised you didnt even use much/any artificial lights for your videos up till now, its some real oldschool home cooked video content
I let out a big “awwwwww” when I seen the clamp eat the salt Box, good to see you still smiling looking the destruction tho . I don’t do any wood working but your videos played on my shorts and now I just watch some dude cut wood from over seas lol. Greetings from Illinois, USA!
Kid, that's what we say in America, I enjoy your channel. I'm jealous of your new shop. Old school, love. Take us on a night out in an Irish pub. We want to see the bartenders😂. Regrets of my youth...never got drunk in a real Irish bar. Anyway, I'll keep an eye out for the pub shenanigans video.
Totally amazing, even though the dovetail box has to have "another go"... I am Navajo from America, also know as First Nations. I was trying to to sound like you😁 at the end there..
Every time a project implodes like that, my sympathy as a seamstress reaches out to you-- "or we're just gonna cry instead"-- I've been trying to get my embroidery machine to work with a design for the last *three months* to no avail-- at least you could come back the next day and have it work.
Idk about that but I agree people get far to caught up in having the right gear. I used the front facing camera on a broken Iphone x for two years to get myself started,.
1:52 You left your camera!!! I know, I know; I'm kidding! The lengths creators go through to simulate scene continuity is grossly underappreciated. Love your work though!! Keep up the great work!! Love from Metuchen, New Jersey.
Love your videos brother, keep up the good work. You've really got me wanting to try my hand at woodworking, I have been wanting to get into it for years but just haven't gotten the tools yet.
Good show. My sister put this up on FB recently, and it reminded me of you. I hope it fits. . A poem I found. No author identified yet: Beechwood fires are bright and clear If the logs are kept a year, Chestnut's only good they say, If for logs 'tis laid away. Make a fire of Elder tree, Death within your house will be; But ash new or ash old, Is fit for a queen with crown of gold . Birch and fir logs burn too fast Blaze up bright and do not last, it is by the Irish said Hawthorn bakes the sweetest bread. Elm wood burns like churchyard mould, E'en the very flames are cold But ash green or ash brown Is fit for a queen with golden crown. Poplar gives a bitter smoke, Fills your eyes and makes you choke, Apple wood will scent your room Pear wood smells like flowers in bloom Oaken logs, if dry and old keep away the winter's cold But ash wet or ash dry a king shall warm his slippers by.
Just starting to teach myself woodworking over the last couple months. I feel your pain, and I haven't even attempted dovetails yet! You've inspired me to look into expanding my inventory of hand tools, I've really been enjoying your videos and wish you the best!
It's nice to see someone using tools that are older than they are. Over here in North America, I feel like everybody replaces tools just because Milwaukee made a new saw... Lol
Ooof. Like a punch in the gut when something you put time into splits when it is almost done. Similar thing happened to me last night on a present for my wife. Lots of time 'til Christmas to try again. ; )
Great video Eoin it was very enjoyable to watch the salt box turned out beautiful. Wonderful irish craftsmanship. It was funny when you were describing salt it reminded me of a scene from the bbc comedy Red Dwarf 😂. We have the same saying as welders grinder and paint make me the welder i ain't. Best wishes from Iowa
My father and uncle are both handymen. When I was young, they'd drag me to watch them do their work which made annoyed me as i saw no fun in repairing, building, renovating things but now as teen, i find myself tinkering more and more with household items. Trying to learn what the purpose and name of tools, what they're good for, what certain nail sizes are for, how to use a electric drill and saw and all that. I've seen your videos on socmed before and always saw u as the "funny sounding handyman", so i thank you sir for sparking this interest and now hobby of mine. May I soon be able to make my own axe handle
😮 just when I get to one of your most recent videos, thinking I will have no content left to watch, you mention live streams and now I'm well chuft there's loads more for me to watch 😂 thanks!
Hello! I'm new to your channel and have fallen in love with your running commentary and all the things you build. It's been a year or two now since the last time I've done something with wood, and your box breaking reminded me of all the other oopsies I went through during my own wood work projects. I'd say it's a learning experience, but still, it hurts when it breaks. Hopefully the next one doesn't end up like the first (fingers crossed!) Have a good day Eoin! :)
Some powerful memories of my father's workshop. He did the same kind of work as you and I've seen all those tools doing their thing. He turns 90 this year. A carpenter, joiner, wheelwright and blacksmith. I don't know what will happen to his tools... it's sad really.
I don't care about wood working, the only reason I watch your video is because of your accent, but after watching a lot of your videos, I can say wood working ain't that bad
Awww, hate when that happens haha. As a welder myself when you said paint and glue make me the jointer i ain't. We say A grinder makes me welder i ain't.
About 10-12 years ago, my grandmother passed away and left me an old bbq restaurant and 2.5 acres of land..we decided that we wanted to move.. we needed a change. So we started looking. We knew we wanted to go to Europe. I first thought Scotland, then.. Ireland 🇮🇪. We decided to buy a unseen Land Rover, had the man witch we were purchasing the vehicle from to pick us up from the Dublin airport. We then we’re gonna drive the ring of Kerry , See Ireland and the town We ended up on the county rather was county Kerry and it was Cork or Dingle. We didn’t really know which one that we wanted, but we knew that we wanted to be down in south Ireland and my dream was to just sit on the back porch see the ocean get drunk in the pub with an old Irish guy that I had no idea what he was saying lol and just be there, but life changed plans changed and I’m still right here in Georgia but just do know, it is a beautiful place and I absolutely will love to come there someday hope to see you there and I am very jealous 😂. And love the videos keep up the good work.
I'm in love with that little plant growing on your car! Haha I think you should name it Hermann -this is a very strong name in my country, (basically translates to military man or Sir Man if you spell it Herrmann lol) strong name for a strong little plant growing in the most unlikely place
The recording style and quailty really reminds me of those independent shows you'd see on PBS or the Science Channel bsck in the late-00, early 2010s. And not's a really, really good thing.
I'm in love with your positive sounding voice, you seem like such a friendly person and honestly seeing anything from you always makes me smile. Your content always makes my day so much brighter. ♥
That failure right at the end was so relatable, I don't know how many things I destroyed minutes before completion. Mainly acrylic fountain pens though. Small catches on the lathe.. 🙈
Perhaps it’s time to design yourself a small heat branding tool. Something that you can stamp onto the base (or inside) these commissions that you’re there making. Kind of a fun idea. Something that future craftspeople will find and identify as an item made by Eoin Reardon 🙂 Probably a bit of a pain, but you could even leave a little space where you could add in the date/year that you made the particular object/item.
Great videos, thanks! Try putting your light box a little off to the side / above the camera (experimenting with different positions is a good idea) the lighting is more interesting as the shadows cast look more natural.
“Maybe we’re just gonna cry instead”
Ya got a good laugh out of me with that one

This channel has pre 2016 RUclips vibes and I am all for it! Just very simple eight to fifteen minute authentic vlogs filled with personality.
You get nostalgia for 2016?
I thought I was young thinking 2010 was a good time.

The "squeak squeak squeak squeak" followed by the "creak creak creak creak" was very satisfying.
Absolutely love the ambience of the old shop, brings a sense of tradition to the work being done. Cheers from Vermont, USA!

So I came across your channel and I found you using a very funny shaped wooden hammer, it is the same thing that my granpda has/had in his chest of tools, I now know what the hell that funny wooden hammer is for. smacking the joint together, it explains why it looks the way it does all rounded/impacted down.

Ah thanks Glen. Appreciate that.
Amazing to see your journey, thanks for sharing!
Just goes to show people love the man not the recording quality
Idk about that but I agree people get far to caught up in having the right gear. I used the front facing camera on a broken Iphone x for two years to get myself started,.
"before we could even dream about joinery, and believe me, I do"
1:52 You left your camera!!!
I know, I know; I'm kidding!
The lengths creators go through to simulate scene continuity is grossly underappreciated.
Love your work though!! Keep up the great work!!

AAWW! A little beautiful little box like that is SKREAMING for a wooden hinge! Or maybe a leather hinge& catch...OOh(8:40)sounds quite lethally sharp!
Love your videos brother, keep up the good work. You've really got me wanting to try my hand at woodworking, I have been wanting to get into it for years but just haven't gotten the tools yet.
Good show. My sister put this up on FB recently, and it reminded me of you. I hope it fits. . A poem I found. No author identified yet:
Beechwood fires are bright and clear
If the logs are kept a year,
Chestnut's only good they say,
If for logs 'tis laid away.
Make a fire of Elder tree,
Death within your house will be;
But ash new or ash old,
Is fit for a queen with crown of gold .
Birch and fir logs burn too fast
Blaze up bright and do not last,
it is by the Irish said
Hawthorn bakes the sweetest bread.
Elm wood burns like churchyard mould,
E'en the very flames are cold
But ash green or ash brown
Is fit for a queen with golden crown.
Poplar gives a bitter smoke,
Fills your eyes and makes you choke,
Apple wood will scent your room
Pear wood smells like flowers in bloom
Oaken logs, if dry and old
keep away the winter's cold
But ash wet or ash dry
a king shall warm his slippers by.
A hero. I love you and your life. God speed to ya bro
I usually don’t like vlogs but this I love these videos
12:06 xD priceless, prefect timing, deeply impressed by your work otherwise by the way.

It's nice to see someone using tools that are older than they are. Over here in North America, I feel like everybody replaces tools just because Milwaukee made a new saw... Lol
Ooof. Like a punch in the gut when something you put time into splits when it is almost done. Similar thing happened to me last night on a present for my wife. Lots of time 'til Christmas to try again. ; )
came here straight from TikTok , I'm thrilled to see the whole process.

Just the most authentic and genuine fellow in content creation right now. Keep up the good work, best of luck with the Facebook debacle.
😮 just when I get to one of your most recent videos, thinking I will have no content left to watch, you mention live streams and now I'm well chuft there's loads more for me to watch 😂 thanks!

That dovetail saw is beautiful
I didn’t notice any drop in audio quality. it sounds good to me.
Aren't you just an adorably cute wood worker.
When I see young people like you, I think there’s still hope for the human beings
Hey Eoin , why dont you do a tankard / beer stein? :D thatd be lovely in your hands
Love the videos and channel 🙏🏻
I don't care about wood working, the only reason I watch your video is because of your accent, but after watching a lot of your videos, I can say wood working ain't that bad
damn vice, it looked amazing though, maybe that broken back piece could be a mini cutting board for like garlic or somethin.
When box busted I gasped, sorry pal, thx for good content
Loving the longer videos Eoin! Almost caught your livestream live, maybe next time. 😂
Glad to see you doing so well mate, truly. ❤
Love your videos man. Need some of your positivity when things don’t go as intended. Hope you have a good day :)

About 10-12 years ago, my grandmother passed away and left me an old bbq restaurant and 2.5 acres of land..we decided that we wanted to move.. we needed a change. So we started looking. We knew we wanted to go to Europe. I first thought Scotland, then.. Ireland 🇮🇪. We decided to buy a unseen Land Rover, had the man witch we were purchasing the vehicle from to pick us up from the Dublin airport. We then we’re gonna drive the ring of Kerry , See Ireland and the town We ended up on the county rather was county Kerry and it was Cork or Dingle. We didn’t really know which one that we wanted, but we knew that we wanted to be down in south Ireland and my dream was to just sit on the back porch see the ocean get drunk in the pub with an old Irish guy that I had no idea what he was saying lol and just be there, but life changed plans changed and I’m still right here in Georgia but just do know, it is a beautiful place and I absolutely will love to come there someday hope to see you there and I am very jealous 😂. And love the videos keep up the good work.
I'm in love with that little plant growing on your car! Haha I think you should name it Hermann -this is a very strong name in my country, (basically translates to military man or Sir Man if you spell it Herrmann lol) strong name for a strong little plant growing in the most unlikely place
Herman it is
@@EoinReardon haha awesome! I hope he lasts for a while!
The recording style and quailty really reminds me of those independent shows you'd see on PBS or the Science Channel bsck in the late-00, early 2010s.
And not's a really, really good thing.
Shotgun mics are going to sound way better and you won't have to deal with the cloth rustle, great solution.
I have a hatch and a Kinder I would please restore they were my grate grandpa please I love your work It always so beautiful
Hey I love videos, it feels like we’re getting a sense of who you are. I think that very important! Well done!
I'm in love with your positive sounding voice, you seem like such a friendly person and honestly seeing anything from you always makes me smile. Your content always makes my day so much brighter. ♥
I felt your pain when that thing cracked
That failure right at the end was so relatable, I don't know how many things I destroyed minutes before completion. Mainly acrylic fountain pens though. Small catches on the lathe.. 🙈
Nice editing in this video.
Great stuff. I feel like there's a good joke to be made about salty tears over the salt box but it evades me.
It’s great seeing the traditional tools being used.
Love the vlogs
Perhaps it’s time to design yourself a small heat branding tool.
Something that you can stamp onto the base (or inside) these commissions that you’re there making.
Kind of a fun idea. Something that future craftspeople will find and identify as an item made by Eoin Reardon 🙂
Probably a bit of a pain, but you could even leave a little space where you could add in the date/year that you made the particular object/item.
The audio is great! Love the vid x
I appreciate your desire to support local merchants.
Great videos, thanks! Try putting your light box a little off to the side / above the camera (experimenting with different positions is a good idea) the lighting is more interesting as the shadows cast look more natural.
