“Try to pick up after yourself and not leave a mess for the workers, or for the next guy” - life etiquette, not just lumber yard etiquette :)
Like starting with the shopping carts!
AMEN!
I’m a lumber yard manager, and I couldn’t agree more
I bought this for my friend for his birthday as we just moved into a new house and he finally has room for a workshop. The bench was very easy to set up ruclips.net/user/postUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh They center support is a little difficult to snap in and out of place at first but at least then we know the bench is secure. It was a pleasant surprise when we saw it came with clamps. I apparently missed that in the description. My friend loves the versatility of the bench. Great starter bench for his workshop and easily transportable all over our property. I wish the bench was a little taller but the other features of the bench more than make up for that.
Best vid I’ve seen on lumber yard info on RUclips... Great Job, Thanks!
Man oh man, I’ve learned so much from your videos. This was fantastically informative. Thank you so much.
With the projects, I am fixing to take on.
Watching this video, sure shined a light on the types of wood I need to look into getting and where to get it from.
Thanks a million.
Great job! I've seen several videos covering this topic, but yours is very well put together. Thanks for your hard work.
This is absolutely amazing and exactly what I have been after! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this, as it is so helpful for a newbie woodworker such as myself (I don't think I've ever smashed the sub & bell so fast)!
As someone who works at a hardwood lumber yard very similar to this, I really appreciate this video! There are tons of people who come in and have no idea what they want or even how to get it. Great information in this video!
Been buying hardwoods for years and I still learned a lot. This will help new woodworkers take that leap! Thanks!
Hi please where u buy yr hard wood I need to put mad when I'm do building
Well done. Super informative. So many times, RUclips videos are more about the presenter than the subject matter. What a refreshing change!
The best video on choosing material. Super informative and clearly explained.
Thank you for a very clear explanation of those labels, I learned a lot, as well as the "lumber yard etiquette."
Thanks for a very good presentation, clear and concise. Made understanding grading and how the size is calculated very clear. 👍👍
Brilliant video, thank you! As s newbie woodworker this is just what I need. Might have to watch it again and take notes!
Just found this video and honestly, thank you so much. I've gotten used to being a woman walking into hardware stores over the years, but as I'm now getting into woodworking having an idea of what I'm walking into will make it all the easier and less demoralizing. Heavy applause!
Johnson's Workbench is absolutely the best hardwood dealer and woodworking dealer I've ever been in. Great people, super helpful every time I've been in there. Great video!
Your execution and delivery of the information was astounding. Brief and to the point; just the way I like it!
This is an excellent video! I have yet to go to my local hardwood dealer and intended on doing it soon. Thanks to this video, I’ll be much more prepared. Thanks again!
This is so thorough! For a newbie like me this is gold. I can't pressure it enough: GREAT JOB!
This was really good content! Your channel keeps getting better and better. Thank you!
I've never visited a real lumber yard and boy am I glad I saw your video first. I would have been flabbergasted at the jargon and amount of choices. So, I am incredibly grateful for your detailed video, which will help arm me with at least a rudimentary understanding.
Seriously, I loved the attention to detail, layman's terms, thoughtful explanations, and illustrations! I am going to get a hold of that document you mentioned and study up on it. I also saved this video so I can reference it again and again.
Thanks again!
Thank you for the informative video and thanks to Johnson's Workbench for letting you film there.
Man, this was one of the more useful videos i have ever watched on RUclips, thank you very much mate! :)
Wow! I'm planning on visiting my local Ganahl Lumber in the coming week and I can't believe this video popped up. I'm so glad I watched this. Thanks for the info Chris!
I'm just getting into woodworking and this video was extremely helpful! Thank you!
Excellent video. Spent some time buying hardwoods.. this video still managed to teach me some things. Thank you.
Who in the world would dislike this much great information. Thank you so much for all the info!
I’m having trouble finding your print out. Great video. Finally I know how to ask the right questions!
Thanks! Going to a lumber yard for hardwood can be very very intimidating.... Your example is the middle of the pack, fancier and you pay alot more, more basic the prices are great, the staff will get grumpy fast if you get too picky or ask them to lift down too many pallets. We have all three in our area. Never took out a hand plane. Another level is going to a small saw mill. no electricity, cash only fantastic prices with some beautiful wood. Cheers
This was great video. Awesome job explaining everything in an understandable way. Give the info and then an example.
I went to Johnson's workbench several months ago and was completely overwhelmed... I'm so glad you made a video using them as an example! This will help me out a ton when going back.. It's really intimidating going to a real hardwood lumberyard for the first time.. mostly because I don't know what I don't know.
Thank you. This video is extremely helpful as I'm a beginning woodworker.
Glad to find this especially being in MI myself. Also great to know they're as helpful as they are. I'm a noob so wont be there anytime soon. But when I do it's relieving to know I wont feel stupid asking questions.
I am a newer woodworker from Jackson. It's definitely kept me sane during the Covid Quarentine!
Excited to hear about Johnson's and can't wait to check them out next weekend.
...now I just need to watch this video like ten more times to absorb all of the info...
Literally took notes during this video - a great video for a newbie woodworker like myself.
Thanks for doing this. My head was spinning! Lots to still learn but I must breakaway from our local big box stores.
Wow that lumber yard is amazing, mine only has lumber, nothing like that tool selection, also nice video learnt a few new things
Excellent video TCC! I learned a lot from the info that you presented. Nicely done! Can't wait to see the next installation of the boat build.
Thanks Chris! I found this video to be very informative and learned a ton about plywood grading and how it is cut. Very interesting!
Ton of useful info. Lot to digest at one shot. Saved to watch again. Thanks for doing this video.
You have given the most & best info I've been able to find. Thanks!
Wow! Clear, concise, informative and... interesting to watch and listen to. Well done and thank you!
Thank you for saving this 14 year old woodworker from freezing on the spot, Bunnings down under is a pain in the ass for wood so this helped a lot!
I so needed this. Just now graduating from the big box stores and I'm lost. This video was great. Thanks.
Excellent video! A lot of good information that’s not overwhelming. Thanks!
Great video and content! Nice to see Johnson's. Makes me want to come dig through the piles.
This was SUPER helpful! Thank you for this video!
This is really awesome! I've been holding off going to a lumber yard as I'd just look like a bumbling fool (even though I'm sure they'd be nice and patient with me). But now I'll be a lot more confident - so thanks so much for taking the time to make and share this. Nice touch to add the info about etiquette, btw!
This is awesome info. I plan on starting in on a woodworking hobby after dabbling a bit in fence making and other small projects. After a bit of practice I’m going to try my hand at furniture making to see if I can get some nursery furniture made up before my wife and I start trying.
I love that dudes like you are out there to give us this info. I’m deployed right now but this gives me a place to start so I have as much info as possible when I get home and start diving in.
Thanks, One of the best explanations I've heard in a while. Especially the plywood grades.
Man I wish I would've seen your video yesterday. Went to Ganahl Lumber here in Cali... felt like the first day of middle school, scared & completley lost! 😬
🤯 That was a lot of information, I hope I remember at least 1/4 of it when I visit my local hardwood lumber store. Thank you.
I love this.. I picked this video at random but I'm in Lansing and when I looked up hardwood dealers before, Charlotte was the nearest one as far as I could tell. Have yet to go there. This was going to be the year I really started.. then covid.
The nearest hardwood dealer to me is less than helpful. I was out of my depth there. This video is exactly what I needed!
They also harvest lumber too. Heard my Dad and uncles talk about this place (in the 1970s) for years, was excited to see it for the first time. Now I take my son to. Hopefully he will take his son someday
Been a hardwood sawyer for the past five years, hard work but a kick ass job, especially when you cut a big piece of 16/4 off a huge red oak cant! Nice video.
This is great information for starting woodworkers! Thank you, I would have been lost learning all of this on my own
Such a great video, very informative and robust. Thanks!
Wow! Great video, subbed, tu! I am just a few months in to learning woodworking and haven't yet been to a proper lumberyard. Thank you for putting this wonderfully informative video together. You put a TON of work into this! I feel a whole lot better about going to a real lumberyard now!
beautiful video, this really got me excited for woodworking!
Thanks for this. As for the hardwood dealer in my area they are cranky as hell when asking newbie questions. Thanks to you I’ll be back and ready this time 😁
Great information, especially on the plywood! Can't wait to download your lumber cheat sheet when it's posted. Thank you!
This was the most informative and helpful I’ve found. Thank you.
Thanks Chris!! Very helpful tips, I’ve never been to a hardwood dealer, but when I do, I’ll be curing up this video to help me out!! Happy 4th!!
Great video! I’m just at the very beginning of learning and this was very informative and well done. Extra points for the downloads.
Thank you so much for this video! I'm getting to the point where I want to start using hardwoods and have always been intimidated by going to a real grownup lumber yard.
I wish my dad would've taught me this stuff. Thanks for taking the time to document all these things that you do and do it well.
Thanks for watching bud
Your boat is looking great keep up the good work. You should also do a fishing video with the boat when it’s done
Thoroughly enjoyed your content, as a 59 year old newbie I am looking forward to seeing more content, oh yeah I subbed!
Thank you for this! Looking forward to getting out to Johnson's in South bend! This definitely helps with the anxiety of going in there for the first time
So glad I came across this video. It showed up in my suggested videos. I was surprised when you mentioned South Bend because that's the one I go to. They're awesome. I used to go to Owel Hardwoods when I lived in Chicago and was super excited to find a place like Johnson's when I moved back home to South Bend.
I just stumbled on your channel, Michigan native here, love the content you make!
WOW ! Did I learn a lot ! I'm use to the big box stores where they just stock 3 types of junk lumber, if you're lucky.
I'll have to watch this video a few more times to digest all of the great information. Now the hard part......finding a hardwood dealer in this area. That's the hardest part of woodworking for me.
Thanks for the great informative video.
......the hunt is on ! Barry
Thanks for making this video. I'm about to make my first trip to a real lumber yard and you definitely just saved me some mistakes I'm sure.
This is a really thorough introduction to buying hardwood- thanks!
Thanks for the video. Well done. I have been to the South Bend store several times. Not the cheapest place to buy wood, but they have a good selection and are helpful if you have questions.
WOW, what a great video! I've been buying from a local place in NJ (Boards & Beams) for a little while but it can still be overwhelming. I think the most important thing going in is KNOW WHAT YOU NEED! Species, lengths and widths. Make a list. Its going to be overwhelming when you arrive so having a list to work against is hugely helpful. Also, don't be afraid to ask prices while you're selecting, and have a budget. Research the yard's prices online before you go. The first time I bought I picked what I wanted and went to pay and almost fainted when they told me the price.
What a great video. Thanks for your completeness and clear presentation.
What a terrific, informative video! I've bookmarked it. Thanks so much!!!
This was a really concise and well delivered lesson.
I have always been leery about going into to one of these places because I didn't want to act like a complete derelict.
I think the biggest takeaway from this is how much I don't know!
Great video. As someone fairly new to furniture building this answered allot of questions I had.
After seeing this, I wish I could have stayed abroad for wood working only. Thumbs up from India.
Best video on this subject I’ve encountered. Thanks!
Thank you. Enjoyed this while eating breakfast
I knew I recognized that accent from somewhere, I myself live in Mason, Michigan and work in holt. Such a small world! I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and they are always trust worthy and reliable!
Haha I live in holt too
Great presentation. It was very clear with a lot of information.
Solid explanations. Thanks Chris.
Thanks for adding the etiquette part! Real appreciate it as a noob
Thank you for a very helpful video and I just have to say, Ootz (probably misspelt) is amazing. Looks right into the camera as if he’s presenting. A wonderful shopmate.
Oh man I know this video has been around for a minute but for some reason it popped up today. Last week it was a bit rainy one day so I visited Houston hardwoods and found myself asking questions of a kid that couldn’t be old enough to shave but he was nice and knew his stiff. I laid plans for two desks today and tried again to look over their price sheet and understand it to no avail. I called and the dude on the other end explained what I asked but as soon as I was off the phone I was lost again. I ended up buying what I needed from the bog box cause it’s comfy. Thanks very much for the instruction and ultimately helping me turn up the dial a bit
Great video on lumber I never knew there were so many options. I have only shopped at big box stores
Thank you
Incredibly useful info! Thanks for doing this one!
Thank you for the lesson and tips. I can't wait for the print out to be available so I can brush up before going and checking out the local lumbar yard.
quite useful stuff, thank you... kind of lost in all these terminology when I went to my local lumber yard.
Great video!! Thanks for educating and sharing!
Best lumber and plywood explanation crammed into 15 minutes
Love Johnson's Workbench!
Just getting started doing more serious woodworking, this video was super helpful and informative! Thanks very much!
This was a ridiculously professional video. Good job. Great information delivered in a very thorough way. Again good job keep up the awesome content.
Worthwhile video. I learned a lot. Thank you
