Personally I hate shorts, they expose my thin skinny legs
😂
Honestly, that was silly of a joke it got me to smile and chuckle thank you.
😂😂😂😂
And I thought you had thick skinny legs
@@tearybligh5202 Dad Joke of James' Dad Joke quality.
A couple years ago I came for the woodworking but I stayed for the personality. Keep up the great work, James!
wortheffort was the channel that initially inspired my woodwork too. it was also a hand plane build.
I'm mainly a power tool user and will likely remain so, but because of you and Paul Sellers I added chisels for squaring up round mortices. Then I added a shoulder plane to clean up shoulders. Then I added a router plane to dial in tenons and half laps and dados. I absolutely love using them and pull them out on almost every project.
I'll probably never use half the stuff you teach about but I still love learning about it from you.
I wish you continued (and growing!) success.
Your personality comes across in your videos ,we love watching ,learning your attitude is infectious.
Wortheffort RUclips Chanel got me into workworking, I even built the workshop to do it in, all from watching RUclips aswell
Thank you, James.
Hand tool woodworking is just darn fun. It's hard to cut off a finger using hand tools.
Love sharing knowledge myself
You give me hope. I recently became a stay at home Dad and coincidentally took up hand tool woodwork to maintain my sanity.
Cheers from Bulgaria!
Thank you for talking about woodworking. You are lighting a passion in thousands of us❤
Me: Patiently waiting for James to discover model kit making as I too discover the art of handtool woodworking.
I use to do a lot of models and even stick built model RC airplanes before the ARF took over.
I noticed the throwaway "big enough to build a dining room table." Was that how you convinced your wife that you needed the extra space?
I'm so grateful for your channel. Between you and Rex Kruger, I have been inspired to start buying hand tools and start building things. I've only built one project so far, but just doing it has really started improving my mental and physical health. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing.
I am new and have grown about 75 subscribers in the last few weeks. It is an awesome feeling to know people care enough about what I am saying to watch and subscribe. I agree about workbench con. I just missed it this year but plan to go next year because it is only about 50 minutes from my house in North Ga.
Thanks for the story of your journey.
"Have fun in the shop." One of the best comments I've heard about woodworking. If you're not doing it for money, then do it for fun. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us.
Wood shorts give me splinters😳
LOL not if you finish them with blo.
I hope it's not Ipe, though. Nasty stuff. 😬
Keep on truckin!
It took me awhile before realised this was a *hand-tool* woodworking; I thought it was just a really good woodworking channel. Compare to say Rex Krueger, who I enjoy but what I learn there isn't applicable or further my mixed (mostly power tool) wood working. Here, it's all gold. I haven't felt this inspired since I first encountered Steve Ramsay and fell in love with working with wood. Respect for this.
What a wonderful trip down memory lane. It’s been a fun journey. I looked at my subscription start dates. I joined Wood by Wright 9-26-15, and Wood by Wright Howto 1-18-17. Not sure where that puts me in your storyline, seems like yesterday. The Tuesday night live are great fun. I wish you Sara and the kids all best. [ In case anyone is wondering, James and I are no relation to each other. My comments are genuine and not some family obligation]
That would put you in the first hundred or so.
This video is exactly why I am coming to visit!
Lovely, thanks.
I enjoy your channel. Dad jokes, misspelled words, down to earth talk, cool hand tools display, interesting new tool tutorials, tool sales tours, and by the way, you make cool stuff. Please keep it coming!
Thanks James, I enjoyed the backstory a lot. I have mixed feelings about shorts, yours are about the only ones I consistently enjoy. Your passion and love of woodworking and teaching always comes through. I’m a hobbyist primarily power tool woodworker who builds Arts and Crafts style furniture. I am working on figuring out how to combine hand tools and power tool techniques. You and Rex are my favorite channel to relax and learn with.
Fascinating. I liked the origin story.
I found you through shorts and I’m very glad I did!
Thanks. Let me know if there is ever anything you want to see.
James your personality reals makes your channel as enjoyable at it
I love the teaching videos. Those are the only ones I watch. Keep up the great work.
You're right - this is a very different video. But I found it quite interesting and enjoyable. Thank you.
I am from India. I love your channel and you have been the motivation for starting my channel. Just like you, I simply use RUclips for documenting my work. I don't have any hitech camera and simply record with a digital camera or mobile phone. But surprisingly I got some viewers.
Roughly best segment of the video for yall ppls
0:00 - 13:10
to the person that asked the first question thank I like all of your channel and thank you for answering all of my questions and email. have a blessed day.
In many ways we are kindred spirits. I am a strictly hobbyist woodworker. I got more or less seriously started with routers. I’m in a wheelchair and actually the day I recognized I would need a wheelchair I discovered The Router Workshop. Over the years I acquired more power tools then gradually learned about the health hazards of very fine wood dust. I discovered hand planes. On the advice of an experienced friend I acquired skew block planes, skew Rabbet planes, jack plane, jack rabbet, jointer, smoother, etc.
I am a retired college prof, molecular biology.
My dad was a maintenance man with all the tools but no hand planes or such,I got into those not wanting to be an ass to my neighbors late nights and wasnt many plug ins and loved being able to build in nowhere! Already want a sailboat... old technologies, love em!
Here's my short: Great video. Love the honesty and info.
Great video. Thank you for sharing your RUclips journey.
Great video James sir
Love what you do. No BS, no sponsor segments.... just James doing stuff and not being afraid of showing the stuff ups.
This is a great story, man! Thanks for including the content creator section too. 👊🏻🍻
A massive thank you, like you through moves and life in general I had sold, stored or otherwise disposed of a lot of tools. Your videos got me back into woodworking and the joy it brings. I have learnt so much about the hand tools I have through these videos. Also, as much as possible, the videos have shaped my tool collecting so that it is a good deal more coherent than the see it buy it of old! Keep them coming!
Profoundly loved this one. I am thinking of diving in. But not in this field .thank you for the help
Thanks for sharing your story. -I ama a long time woodworker but mostly with power tools. I watch you and others to learn the hand tool techniques. I am over the noise and dust of machinery.
Did you read this comment? I bet you did! Thank you for the inspiration James, I'm a combination hand and power tool woodworker (or at least I attempt to be) and I don't know if I'd be trying as many types of projects without the wacky oddball things you show. Keep up the good work sir!
great story.......
Thanks for your story. It was very interesting.
I Enjoy your channel. Watch every week. I have learned a lot Thanks Keep Up the Great Work
I was gonna say no way he didn’t end with a joke and the he hits us with that one😂😂 legend
Thanks for sharing, interesting stuff
Hi James I really enjoyed this video sir think the thing with hand tools for me its the fact that seeing them come to shape over time and more enjoyable
Similar thing happened to me. I bought a few electric tools: handheld planer, two-hand router, resonator... I thought that a handsaw was somewhat beneath me. Then I stumbled on Paul Sellers YT-video on how to rip down a board by hand with a handsaw. I instantly went nuts for hand and panel saws, and now I have bunch of them. Including some old rusty one we had at home that my grandpa gave us a long time ago. (Weardly enough, I had a handsaw sign printed on my shoe cabinet when I was in kindergarden.) So through the last ten years, I'm slowley collecting and buying hand tools. And ofcourse, I discovered other's channels: Matt Estlea, Rex Kruger, Wood whisperer, Stumpy nubs etc... But Paul's, and this one are my favorites. It's interesting to go listen British and American English back and forth.
Dude im not even into hand tools all that much. I have planes i use a lot, chisels etc. But i don't know about everyone else but for me it's your personality and how you explain things that got me to subscribe. The wealth of information you give is just a huge bonus
use to watch your HP WU videos years ago and then just stumbled upon this video from a short that showed up on my feed. glad to see things eventually worked out for you!!
thanks man. that was a fun side hobby for a year or so.
I have been watching your videos for about four to five years and though I am not that big into hand tool wood working any more, I like to stay informed and I enjoy your videos. Thanks for keeping up the good work.
thanks! that means a lot. I will keep them coming!
I am glad it is working out for you. You have helped me with my own hobbies.
Hi James. Great video! I stumbled across Worth The Effort a couple of months ago. I agree, he content is great.
What I do not like with shorts is that too often RUclipsrs try to squeeze a topic that could/should make a 5/10/15min video into 60 seconds. That makes very dense videos that are hard to follow, especially for an educational channel. I don't think shorts have to be fast or dense, some subjects will be great as shorts, while some may require a longer video (even a "short" regular video).
I like Paul Sellers shorts, he doesn't pick a full topic, only a quick tip/anecdote/myth to break. Not too much talking and straight to the point.
That being said, keep doing what you are doing, they are only a few RUclipsrs like you that makes great woodworking/hand tools educational content 👏
Great story! Keep it up!
You bring up a good point. David Barron furniture hasn't made a video in 7 or 8 years and was one of my favorites. Perhaps he didn't enjoy it any longer or couldn't find new material, Idk but I wish he'd come back. You have to keep finding new material to hold the fans interest, and your own! Thanks
Great idea for a video. I've been watching for a long time. I enjoyed learning your back story.
I was almost certain you were about to end without a joke. Glad I was wrong. And, as long as you still have time to read these; thanks for sharing your story and passion. I have learned a lot. Glad the channel's doing well. In theater we say break a leg (I'm a stagehand.) For a woodworker maybe we can say "Get a splinter"
Fantastic. My masters was in technical theater. I was technical director for quite a few years.
I've been in trouble for pounding on a chisle before too. 😮
Thank you for sharing your beginnings and how this all got started. Personally, I would rather watch the deep dive and get into the details. But I’ll still watch all of your videos even the shorts.
Wood by Wright the start and philosophy in less than 15m! I love it.
I like your shorts because they aren’t just snippets of your other videos. Thank you
It’s great to see the older videos and see more of the wall and less tools, then as the channel has grown the wall filled up!
Awesome info! Thanks for sharing
Great to know your story. When I started watching you at first I figured you were a wood shop teacher. One I would have wanted to have because of your enthusiasm!
I find myself watching your videos over and over again trying to learn everything I can. I just had my first "shop" an 8x12 shed delivered and my 6 year old son and I have been spending a lot of time out there just learning how to use the tools. Keep up the awesome videos and I appreciate each and every one of them.
Sounds like a lot of fun. Looking forward to seeing what you make.
As someone who found your channel through #shorts, I want to thank you for taking the leap into the quick, consumable videos. I hate the Tik Tok trend, but RUclips seems to like to push channels that make that style of content, and that's what let me find you. Thanks Mr. Wright!
I found the RUclips shorts to focus a little bit more on education whereas tick tock tends to focus more on just the quick entertainment
@@WoodByWrightHowTo That's really interesting! I don't have TikTok (and hopefully never will), but I suppose that would be a great explanation for why people find it so addicting. The only reason I ever started watching RUclips videos, in the first place, was to learn. 90 percent of my subscriptions aren't to entertainment channels, but to teaching channels like your own. As someone who is deeply interested in woodworking and just making in general, do you have any favorite, maybe more obscure/less well know, channels that you could recommend? Thanks Mr. Wright!
I’ve always enjoyed your stuff….. but this one sums it up….. I have a similar background, but only dabble now as a woodworker; moved more into construction. Keep up the great work. Love it all…..
I can honestly say....other than to watch your older videos....i dont really go to the old channel. I like this format much better.
Now I want to make videos again on moulding planes... Thanks James for this insight into your youtube and woodworking history!
Great video man. Very inspirational.
excellent thanks for the story!
Thanks a lot, James, I love your philosophy as much as your woodwork. I'm happy that shorts gave your channel so much more traffick, hope it continous upwards, good luck
I love your channel I learn a lot and have made some projects from your list. I like Rex Krueger as well. I like his approach for people this is all new to. Paul Sellers is another one before finding you guys I found Paul’s channel and I bought my first plane after seeing him refurbish a plane. Made me realize that I could that and now I am working on building furniture as a side business. I can’t forget Rob Cosman either he is excellent as well. For me as a veteran who needed help to get right with myself and the world again. I found that hand woodworking and traditional archery calm me and help with the nightmares. My wife is wonderful and supportive but some things are just hard to share. So these creative outlets help immensely. So this is a long winded thank you to all of you.
Interesting video, good to hear the story.
Without channels like this, things like hand planing could become lost arts.
Excellent video! Gave me a bunch to think about, for sure!
Great story! I have watched several of your videos as I have become obsessed with hand tools. I also grew up in a shop full of power tools, but in my retirement, I find much more enjoyment working with hand tools. You have helped me with that, and I thank you. You're also in some pretty great company, because Paul Sellers, Rob Cosman, Rex Kruger, etc... have also helped a lot.
Love your channel
Thanks for doing all these videos! Being new to hand woodworking tools, I have found your channel indispensable in helping me progress and improve my woodworking. I hope you will be around for a long time! Thanks for everything James!
I follow you throughout the years. Amazing time we've been together. Thanks for your effort.
Awesome stuff. Keep up the good work!
Very nice, thanks.
Great video! Oh, see comments below 😊
Really great video. I love hand tools….I don’t use them as much as power tools, but when I do something well with a hand tool it’s fun to get all full of myself….for a while. Thanks for your videos! They’re always so fun to watch.
What a journey... It's hard to believe what your channels have grown into. It helps that you have a great personality and all the family support too. Glad to see y'all are doing well.
Thanks homie, good to hear you are being real with your audience.
I am grateful you went down this road. I have learned so much and grown to really love hand tools. Thanks for posting your journey and your knowledge.
I really like the idea of making a RUclips channel for each hobby to have a record your progress!
I’ve been with your channel for quite a while and have thoroughly enjoyed it. I’ve been into wood working since 2017 when I graduated highschool. It’s gone well enough for me to go full time into making. I would really like to make a channel to document some of the projects I would like to build because nobody else is making what I’d like to see and I feel like if I want to see something then someone else does too! (Even if it’s just a handful of people) For now I’m going to keep making my indoor and outdoor furniture for clients and hopefully start RUclips as a passion project. I’ve learned a lot of hand tool skills from your videos and it really made me question if new expensive tools are always really worth it. (Except a jointer and planer not gonna lie I love those inventions!)
Keep up the good work I look forward to seeing how the channel grows!
I appreciate the timing of this video, I have been playing around with making some videos and cant say I havent been influenced by watching yours and other woodworkers. I would love to see a video on your process for, well, making a video! I find as Im making something I start to get focused in on the woodworking and forget about the camera.
I had started similarly where I was posting some things on reddit and instagram just to document my process through woodworking, then posted a very short clip that blew up and I thought maybe people actually would want to watch some of this!. Lately I have been moving into tool restorations and tool making and have been enjoying that immensely.
You, Rex k., stumpy nubs, n rob cosman my joinery guys n worth the effort for turning!
Nice work and your advise about how to set up your RUclips channel also apply to anyone else doing their job, whatever it is
I came to your channel thanks to Rex. The very first video I watched was the collaboration on the shooting board. I was immediately hooked and inspired, learned a lot, but must importantly, it gave me the confidence to make more mistakes and be ok with that. You made it fun to watch, and your honesty and passion for teaching kept me around.
I cannot thank you enough. I wish you many more years of happiness and honest living.
I found James also via the collaboration last year and his teaching was like a +9 on woodworking skill. In 2 months I made improvements I never thought I ever would reach.
James you are a very good teacher!
Thanks for sharing! I love how you transitioned into hand tools. I'm still focused on having the power tools, but definitely see the value of at least some of the more common hand tools. I really enjoy your teaching, I've learned a lot of techniques, I hope to employ some day. I also like the fact that you started a RUclips channel just for your own personal documentation! So simple, yet ingenious because, there's no pressure to "perform"!...I think I just figured out how I'm going to start my RUclips channel! Thanks!!! Keep on keeping on! I'll be sticking around!
Worth The Effort is a great channel! Great to learn about your journey.
Something that I would find interesting is an ultimate tear-out test. A comparison of different ways to control tear-out. Chip breakers, mouth size, angle, tooting plane, while thicknessing and while smoothing.
There are a lot of advice about how to limit tear-out. But it is hard to know how they compare and what technique to use when.
Anyway, thanks for a really good show!
That is a test I've been working on for over 6 years now. Someday I'll have a rig set up that will allow me to quantify it. We've been working on it but it's not as easy as it sounds.
