Back to woodworking. It's like coming home. Having retired a while ago I found that I missed working (strange but true).
But in order to start (again) I needed a workshop and tools that I had sold or dumped (to make space in my small home shed).
The new channel will consist of woodworking builds, tool reviews, woodworking techniques, workshop banter and more. Sometimes I will be able to teach beginner woodworkers or remind the more experienced and sometimes I will be asking for advice. Working with wood tends to be a passion rather than just a job, a passion (if you are watching this) we all share. So hopefully this channel will become a community because I'm not looking for subscribers, I'm looking for friends of the channel.

Like you, I also regretted buying smaller, less expensive tools.
I learned over time that better tools make woodworking so much more enjoyable.
"Buy once, Cry once" - as they say.
Thanks for making this video.

Its true, you get what you pay for. Had I planned ahead I would not have that drill press. We live and learn

That's why I've been buying Festool and Laguna. I've replaced too many inferior tools. I don't want to do it again.
Yes, bigger is better but there is a sweet spot, too.
I had a Bosch sliding compound miter saw and replaced it with a Kapex-120, mainly because the Bosch took way too much space. The Kapex is a great tool. I recently used it for some dados for cross supports. they came out perfectly.

I like the line “sweet spot” you are so right.

3:45 if you do get a second bandsaw that is larger, you can put a resale blade on the big one and put a thin detail blade on the smaller one. I only have an old cheap bandsaw that I bought secondhand, but that’s what I will likely do in the future.

[@MokuzaiDesign]

The blade on mine is tiny so I would keep it… will get a bigger one later on when finances allow

@@MokuzaiDesign resaw is what that should have said

[@maerufomer5469]

ur regrets are fascinating old man, i came here expecting some cheap stuff and u went I should've bought a bigger one

[@MokuzaiDesign]

I mentioned it because of the work that I do.

[@kevinwillis6707]

at least with the kapex you can sell it for nearly what you paid for it, and upgrade. i got the 60 because its more portable than the 120, i agree its great but has its size limitations.

[@MokuzaiDesign]

Yes it is more portable… I don’t have to move mine, so as you said, it would be just for the extra capacity
