What got me to click on your video was seeing Montreal in the name. I grew up in N.D.G I absolutely love the cookbook stand and it's nice to see a woman doing this stuff. It gives me the inspiration to do it myself.
@@DIYMontreal love from Burlington Ontario. Also the iPad/book stand looks great and I see elements of your standing desk project from previous video 🙂
One more tip that makes life so much easier. White vinegar removes glue residue. If you've wiped most of the glue off at the beginning, there shouldn't be much left. However, if you wipe the whole piece down with white vinegar, you'll see any residue left over. As you know, those residue marks show up like a beacon once you put the finish on, and then you're down to sanding off not only the finish, but the glue residue. With white vinegar, all you have to do is dampen the spots, wait until it starts to become opaque (if it's thick) or simply scrub thin spots until the glue comes out. It will actually pull the residue out of your wood completely without raising the grain. For thick spots, you can easily scrape them off and then repeat to get rid of anything left in the wood. Now, BE CAREFUL on joints. If you flood the joints with too much vinegar (some folks flood the whole thing, yikes), it could very easily take apart your joint since it will seep below the surface. Better to pat, let it sit, rub or scrape, and repeat until it's gone. I volunteer as a supervisor in a 50+ woodshop and we have a jug of white vinegar specifically for this purpose. Works great and saves a LOT of sanding as well as a lot of "Doh!" later.
I pretty jealous how much equipment you have... -- I have a lot... but I can get to them... my garage. I live in Florida --- so I am counting the days waiting til it gets below 90 to clean up my garage.
Great ideas. Thanks for all you do. I made the cookbook holder this week. Came out great. Used solid cherry for backing and maple for the stand. I did change one dimension from your plans. While the foot on the stand is sufficient for an iPad, it is not deep enough for my wife's thicker cookbooks. For example, her Betty Crocker cookbook is two inches thick. So I made the foot of the stand larger to accommodate people who cook old school style. Thanks again!
Thank you! These are all amazing and great gift ideas. I even thought about how the cut-off corners from the light tower could be business card holders. Thanks for the inspiration!
I made the iPad stand for my wife for Christmas and she loves it! My modification was to use dowels for the supports and incorporate holders on the back so it could all be kept together when stored . Thanks for some great ideas!!
I’ve watched your videos pretty much since you started. Shop has come a long way. Your router table video inspired me to build one. It’s one of my prize tools. Also did 3 baguette slicers and 10 of the 3 in 1 bottle openers. Enjoy all your videos, well done.
Thank you for sharing. I made several recipe book stands as gifts this Xmas, and everyone loved them. Maple and Walnut are exotic here in Australia - so even more impressive result! Love the channel!
Thank you for an inspirational video. I like the way you present your videos, fast enough to not waste time on monotonous stuff, yet slow enough to get a good hang of it. Thank a lot for the templates and other stuff you provided. Keep on the good work!
Every time I watch one of your videos where you include that flip top cabinet for your DeWalt planer, I smile. I built mine EXACTLY like you did yours (according to your build video) and it is the best shop accessory I have. Thank You! Do you think your laser engraver was a good purchase? It's rather expensive and I wanted to hear your comments on it before taking your advice on buying it. Keep up the great work!
Thanks! Love thay flip top it's served me well! As for the laser engraver, I'm still just figuring out how to use it and barely scratching the surface with what it can do. So it's too soon to tell if it's worth it, but I hope so!
Great video. Thanks for sharing. First gift : baguette miter-box. I really like how you make a list of used tools, etc. for each separate project. Happy Holidays, stay healthy and keep making videos at your own pace. I'm always enjoying them.
I don't have a bandsaw for doing the ornaments due to price & and space, but I did pick up a used scroll saw that I make a lot of little thinner ornaments with.
(Havent finished the video yet), but I am definitely giving that straw trick a shot... If that works as well as it appears to have done so on camera... Well, I'll be embarrassed having never known that. 😂 Cheers!
WHAT!!! People in Canada drink Corona, very surprising. Thank you for the Timely Christmas projects. I made my sister your Christmas tree cutting board and she loves it.
Don't know if it was recommended, but what about putting magnets on the back of the boards for the cookbook/iPad holder. Then you can dissemble the two pieces and put them back to back for a small storage footprint.
You should use a router pin when you are doing the roundovers like that. Even if you have been doing this for years, it is a much safer way to use the router table, and people that are new to woodworking should be shown how to do things the safest way. Thanks for another great video.
Thank you for using powertools and not making a big deal about it as the other feamle " carpenters" do. Love your ideas and how you present the videos. Keep it up!!
First video of yours I have seen, and I love it! I will subscribe and probably binge watch several at a time. Thanks for the thought and effort put into it!
I had so much fun making last year's holiday gifts. Bummer that I can't do these this year since I'm away from my wood shop. Happy Holidays. Yes ... your band saw skills are very good. Cook book stand is my favorite, #2 is the cube lamp. The coasters are a good project for a 1st time epoxy user. Aloha
Thanks for another year with great gift ideas. Looooove the bookmarks. I've got to make a set for my sister. She loves to read. With traditional books even. I know, what a novel idea, huh? 😉
Thank you. Some good ideas to play with. Especially like the tablet/book stand. Think I'll try that one and maybe add a little resin for the handle side. Keep up the fun videos.

How far up from the base is the ipad stand slot
C'est mon rêve d'avoir un atelier comme le votre !!! 🙏

Wow, that bread slicer is the best thing since sliced bread
The first real wood worker I have ever seen.

I'm always amazed how different wood workers accomplish similar outcomes with various tools.

Nice Work Thanks!!
Your workshop organisation / jig game is absolutely inspirational. Incredible work.
I'm only one minute in and the straw to clean up the glue is brilliant!
The adjustable book holder was my best. Thank you
The straw method is a game changer…just got yourself another subscriber
So satisfying

Are you kidding me!!!! That lamp is killer!,! I need a woodworking mentor lol

I'd add rubberfeet to your baguetteslicer - so it won't slide around while cutting it. Great job though with your videos!
These are all so beautiful! Thank you for sharing this 😃
Some great projects there! The lamp was awesome 👌👍

I always look forward to your xmas gift videos. A pleasure to watch.
Yay, thank you!
I want to thank you for the cookbook holder idea. I went brain dead on gift ideas and now everything is back to good. 👍
I'm not a woodworker yet I enjoy your channel and especially your gift ideas every year. I love these.
Awesome! Thank you!
Made the Ipad holder for my wife. Loves it! Thanks for a great idea.

Great idea with the drinking straw to get rid of the still not dried glue. Didn‘t know about that trick. Many thanks😊
Cool ideas….. really like the cutting board/ recipe book holder. Brilliant. !!!!
wow! these are all so creative! I love all of these woodworking gifts. thank you!!
i make these. great gift. if you spin the insert 90 degrees the magnets catch the cap. I enjoy your videos.
Fantastic work, Marie! Really beautiful pieces!!! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Ha well, there aren't that many beers that still come in a bottle around here it seems ;)
These are great. Been looking for a few more items to make this year. Love the lamp especially! Happy holidays.
Very creative! Watching with sound down makes guessing what things will be a fun challenge! I appreciate your ability to jig up for the various tasks!
Thanks!
