Since you asked for feedback, here is mine: Yes, I enjoyed the woodworking tips - short, direct, well presented - and would appreciate more in a series.

I bought this as a gift for my friend youtube.com/post/UgkxcZqgZ8Ynkiz5n_LxIWRlAicuzmz5k… who is just starting out in the world of wood work. He loves it!! There is a great section on different wood and what to use for what kind of job and a similar section for tools as well. The projects in it are things you probably would have a go at with clear instructions, pictures, videos and diagrams throughout. Great for a beginner/amateur wood worker.

Man, these are really useful. I’m always overthinking this kind of thing. Will definitely use the first tip to get the right depth on my half laps. I’d love to see more of these tips.

Guys, these tips are invaluable! Especially when they eliminate measuring…such a headache. Please continue this series. Love it!

Okay, I have a request - could you go around your wall and show: A) All of your tools, B) Tell us what they are called C) What the tools can do. It would be awesome if there was a full video just about tools. This would really help me out as English isn’t my first language, so basically while I can speak it freely, I do not know specialised language about woodworking yet - like what tools are made, or what they are intended to do, what kind of motions they have, what they can possibly do or be used for, if one tool can do other things other than say “this is a drill and it drills holes” lol It would be awesome if you could go with all the tools in one video and brief description, and then maybe do a series of videos or shorts on what the tools can do in more depth? I’m pretty sure a good description of a tool’s capabilities can be fitter into a 30-60 seconds short. I’d love it. I’d really appreciate it. Have a think about it. Before anyone goes - “why don’t you just google it?’, it’s often the problem - because I don’t know what to google. Like in my head - there’s an abundance of ideas, but there can be more or better and bigger ideas if my brand would know all of the capabilities of tools or what other people use a certain tool for even if it wasn’t made for that purpose. And as the saying goes - you don’t know what you don’t know, so it’s hard to google what you don’t know, when I try to google so,etching that I don’t know if it exists or what it’s called and I try to describe it to google, often in different languages - I usually 90% of the time end up sifting through pages of bs. And still don’t find what I was looking for. Most often I find what I was looking for from watching other people woodworking/ engineering videos 😅😂

I think this is a very helpful series. Would love to see it continue.

I love this idea for an ongoing series! Keep them coming. I especially like that you take input from your viewers.

Please continue with this series. My only concern is remembering all of them in the shop! They are very, very useful.

My builder is building me a house and I'm going to be doing a lot of the interior finishing. I have lots of oak boards and will be using these tips on a variety of projects. Please keep them coming. And, thank you both!!

Just commenting to add my own vote to please continue this series. There are a lot of tips/tricks videos but the ones selected here hit that nice balance of extremely useful but not overly obvious.

I love it. I love the amount of content in a short space of time. Don't get me wrong, I like long videos as well, but if I am about to try something new, I don't always want to sort through a 30 minute video to find the trick I needed!

Thank you! I am a new woodworker and can use all the help I can get. Love your channel, love your style, can't wait to get in the shop and use this to create the tables I wake up seeing in my head.

I love the router tip at around 7:15 or so. Adding the tape to move the router over just a hair to get the dado just a fraction larger for the board to fit into the slot is a great idea! Thanks for the other tips too! Great stuff!

Thanks, I'm a hobbyist woodworker and getting my first FTG blade for dados--about a year ago--was a life-saver (no more chiseling out grooves from ATB blades).

The tip for using tape as a micro adjustment: So brilliantly simple I can't believe I didn't think of it.

Honestly, insanely useful stuff. ALL stuff I have NEEDED on projects and literally ALL stuff I'm going to be using on upcoming projects. Thanks guys, looking forward to more of these!!

Smart viewers! These are great tips. I'll double down on endorsing the painters tape for micro-adjustments. Sneaking up on cuts was the biggest revolution for my projects when I learned the value of it.

This series is super helpful. I'm just getting started and it's nice to have some quick, easy to remember tips that have huge impact. Between this and your "Taking Math out of Woodworking" I'm feeling much more capable

Great tips! Thank you :D
