      When I moved to Indonesia 13 years ago I knew very little about the exotic woods common here or even where to find quality woodworking tools as online shopping wasn't a thing and there are no big box stores. I can't even remember where I got the wood from but I did manage to buy a handsaw and a few other basic hand tools because I wanted to make a little table for my new wife. It actually turned out pretty good and I had a good laugh when I heard my niece now in college is using it. Living here has taught me that you don't need a fancy shop or tools as the Indonesian craftsmen (and yes it's PC because they're literally all men) build amazing furniture and even houses and boats with very basic and primitive tools. They use their brains and creativity instead of a credit card.

    As penniless newly weds, 55 years ago, my new bride designed our lounge suite.
    Actually it was a knockoff, seen in the upmarket store of David Jones Sydney store. She would surreptitiously visit the store with a tape measure, so came up with a set of working drawings.
    I had a tenon saw, a mitre box, and a brace and bit. The arms and legs for the chairs and lounge were made of one inch round dowel, so joining them was a challenge. Fortunately I found a standard Meranti dowel to use.
    I finished them off with many coats of high gloss enamel. My wife made the cushions. Side by side with the original, it was pretty good. My wife cherished my efforts for many years.
    I made numerous items of furniture for her, with the most basic of tools.

    We live in a second floor apartment of a suburban house. My "workshop" is a 9 x 11 foot bedroom that doubles as my office. My "workbench" is a steel desk that I raised and modified myself so I can clamp things down. I even attached a front mounted vise. In it, I store my hand saws, chisels, sharpening stones, and wood planes. The closet is full of power tools and a pegboard on one wall holds most of my hand tools. I have a benchtop drill press and a set of Forstner bits sitting on top of a two drawer file cabinet, a circular saw, a jig saw, several sanders, an angle grinder, a Dremel, and several drills. I do most of my cutting and sanding on the driveway on account of the dust, but I do have a Rigid shop vac for work done upstairs. The biggest PITA is dragging all my tools and materials up and down the stairs. My best addition was a Craftsman contractor table saw that I got at a garage sale for $25 and a folding 1980s era B&D Workmate that I picked up at another yard sale for $20. I built a router table with an adjustable fence that drops into the Workmate.
    I built two oak desk hutches, three poplar bookcases, a king sized oak headboard with decorative cast iron panels for our bed, a kitchen storage cabinet /china closet, a 7 foot tall playground for our cat, and more small decorative and functional projects than I can list. My dad taught me that you don't need a huge workshop or expensive branded tools to get lots of work done.

    Fantastic! I'm not a carpenter (I work in electronics) but the way you explain the subject is inspiring to do more, better and preferably without ruining material (or your hands).
    For me, I think your videos could be longer, due to the fact that every sentence I hear from you is another small detail of wisdom that can and should be stored in my little universe.
    Don't complain about the length of these videos. Learn from this man.

Used my cordless saw and a cheap plastic saw guide from the blue place. Did the first 3 boxes totaling 9 10 inch tall supers. All on my tailgate and 3 sawhorses. Dados, rabbits, and dovetails. I have a lathe in my shop and can't have the sawdust on it. Anyway with some dynamic thinking anything can be built anywhere.

    True story. Thanks for the vid! The day I've stopped watching 3x3 customs was when the cnc router came into the picture, and the new table saw, and ...u name it what :) Btw if I can add one thing here: under my journey I've learned to use the circular saw with a diy track. Works like a charm. I've underrated this tool for no reason. I guess because table saw for beginners is more safe than circular saw in general. But circular saw - if it's good (or track saw) is way more versatile

    In my Vocational Technical Carpentry class (in the early 80's) second year students made a framed kitchen cabinet using only hand power tools and hand tools. I started hobby woodworking with a circular saw, aluminum straight edge, router, belt sander and palm sander. I think those methods and skills helped me a better stationary tool woodworker today. I can't remember the last time I used primarily hand tools to build anything. I'm a fan of Stumpy but how many and how often does he use the tools in his background? Not being critical but pointing out that we have changed the way we work.

Good luck to them and I wish them every success but at that point the entertainment or even education was gone for me so I unfollowed most of them.

The game changer in my shop was a Dewalt 12" compound miter saw: amazing what you can do with a really good and large miter saw. And I've been using the Bora straight edge without the attachments for years. Clamp, Skilsaw, and go. I'm getting ready to buy a mid-level cabinet saw, but will miss the pride of sitting back, looking at a piece of work, and saying "I did that with just these tools."

    Certain tools make projects easier to execute, but in their absence it doesn't make projects impossible. There's always a way.

    What we need is a carpentry challenge television show (like those cooking shows) in which each participant gets a budget of $300 for tools and $200 for lumber and tries to build something from an artist's rendering of the finished project. They'd have an hour to complete it. Invite all the YT'ers with DIY channels and see what they're made of.

      Brits made this type of show, some really good artistic well crafted pieces, also some real dismal attempts which the makers freely admitted. Often ran out of time to complete, just like every project built ever.

    Ironically enough, I am building a library full of bookshelves with 5/4 alder done essentially the same way. I was nodding along with you the whole way 😂 the exciting part is that every single bookshelf is called out in the plans to be unique in size, and shelf pattern. The cutlists alone will make your head spin....just wait until you have 32 shelves and two stantions to sandwhich between two bulkheads spanning 12' all at once...talk about some serious clamping madness. 😂 Oh, and did I mention that some of them are at angles to match a tapered stone fireplace? Mercí! 😂

    Since I don't have a fancy shop or fancy tools I enjoyed watching this video. It kind of positively reinforces some methods I regarded as a poorman's method. Example: Although it can be fun to watch Festool Domino videos, I limp along with my Jessem dowel jig. I always appreciate your videos since they actually help me vs some that simply entertain.

    I'm 67 and have been doing woodworking since I was about 10. After I retired 10 years ago I started building and selling furniture to supplement my income. I have some great tools like the Bosch articulated miter saw, $600 on sell 5 years ago. Worth every penny. I also have a harbor freight 33 inch wood lathe that works great for table legs. I have a lot of old antique and vintage tools. A lot of tools I bought used. If you do your homework...ie... research, you can over the years come up with a shop that you can build anything with. Name alone doesn't matter much to me.

    Something that has happen to my watching how-to-projects for wood workers. First the amount of technique blogs has exploded and some that are contradictory. Even if I wanted to try all the techniques there is not enough time in a life to get to them all. And the other is jig making blogs, after making numerous jigs I realized that I could not make the same quality jigs as I could buy no matter how careful I was during fabrication. I do still watch your blog and two other woodworking blogs but I have to say I only watch one episode of each blog per month or 2. As an example things like finish sanding, staining and sealing the videos would only show the techniques using flat boards how many projects have a flat board not connected to anything else.

    You said you had a clamping issue for the back part which rocks forward when you clamp the front. Same here. I use strap clamps having the ratchet on the back side which has more tension. If the edges are soft for a strap, use angle aluminum, polish the outer corner side rounder. It works 4 me. And I have a tiny place as a [shop]...

    • @nicholaslutz4
      @nicholaslutz4 4 месяца назад

      I had a similar issue, but I came up with my own solution. I have Aluminum L angles that are 1 inch wide, which is the same width as the guide edge to the blade edge.
      allows me to clamp them on each side and I get a great guide. allowed me to save a little money so I can afford better accessories and up my game.

    Great tips and insights. You showed several things that I never thought of... for dados it's okay to be a little deeper in the middle... chamfer the edges for an easier fit...

    Of course you can! I designed and built a bunk bed for my son, using only non-power tools, like handsaw, hammer, screwdrivers, etc.
    The only mechanical tool I used was a battery powered drill, for drilling and screwing some screws in 😊

    That one hint about the glue is probably the best one you can give. I've seen RUclipsrs wipe off the excess. Every time I've done that to a piece I was planning on staining I kick myself. Stain will not work where glue has sealed the wood. If for some reason you let it harden you'll have to use a scraper. The one thing to be careful of is using so much glue that it drips down your work. Not only is it hard to get off but also seals the wood requiring a lot of sanding. One fellow had the great idea of using masking tape to prevent glue drips from sealing the wood.

    Just buy what you can afford and get started. That's what I did. You can make pretty much anything with a few basic items. It's just that your workshop won't look as sexy, but it will get the job done. I just had a cheapest tools I could find like a track saw, a router, a jig saw, and an orbital sander, and I have been able to create pretty much anything i have wanted. You don't need thousands of dollars of tools. A few hundred bucks and you have yourself a workshop.

Let's start by ripping these boards up at my 5000 dollar table saw and planing and jointing them on my 600 dollar planer and my cheap 900 dollar jointer so they fit perfectly. You can do this at home with your hand saw and block of sanding paper, but for the sake of the video I'll be using all of my tools."
