Can you tell me what kind of plywood that is? Thx

[TheWoodWhisperer]

@steveyodog Its actually just an MDF core. I usually don't use the stuff but it was all I could find with the walnut veneer I wanted at that time.

[steveyodog]

@TheWoodWhisperer Thank you for the fast response. This is deffinatly a project I want to do.

Im a handy man wanting to start doing pieces like this, so Im alittle green. Thx again. BTW, I have

Hola, soy Henry de Venezuela, me gustan muchos tus videos y estoy aprendiendo de ellos, no soy profesional de la madera pero me he comprado algunas herramienta y pronto fabricare mi primer proyecto, no se como me quedaran pero tratare de hacerlo bien, desde Venezuela te saludo.

P/D: ¿Quien es la chica de la foto que esta en el casillero?

[TheWoodWhisperer]

@rohenwi I would guess that's my wife. I don't think we've ever had any other girl on the show. :)

Mark: You are a top woodworker and a great teacher. Thanks for the excellent contribution you have been giving the WW community.

Do you ever use Hot Hide Glue??

[TheWoodWhisperer]

Oddly enough, I never used the stuff in my shop. I have used the stuff in the bottle though.

[cmat282]

I like how you said youwere useing a minimal number of tools, but you used your jointer, planer, miter saw, your japanese chisels and leigh plane

[TheWoodWhisperer]

I guess you missed the parts where I demonstrated and discussed the various inexpensive alternatives? And what does the brand of my chisels and block plane have to do with anything??

Hey Marc,

Good catch pointing out the "climb cut" issue during your trenching (dadoing) operation in this part of your series. However, I would more appropriately have called that "router drift" or "router travel direction bias," and furthermore have mentioned that the operation should be performed in a direction such that the router pulls away from the reference edge and thereby pulls its attached fence against the reference edge, providing tension between

good vid marc,

i recently built an entertainment unit too ( i made a video , just click on my username if u want to see it )and found that they make great projects.

not only are they easy to make , but the main thing is that you can make them to your own custom design and specification.

i spent a total of 50 euro on plywood and i got the satisfaction of making it myself.

im not even a qualified woodworker, so with minimal tools, its more than possible to produce decent results.

My dad always said "If you cut it too short, you can splice it. If you cut it too long, I don't know what you can do."

[SLRist]

Measure twice, cut once...

[MoonmanJR]

I wish I still had wood shop! I now graduated so now I have to find a shop. I hope to have my own someday. Love the videos! Something different from beer bellies and flannels. lol

[vibeslord]

i need more please!!

[woodypato]

well he does have 69 total videos

[TheWoodWhisperer]

And if you're feeling really adventurous, we have over 100 videos on our website. Haven't had a chance to upload them all here yet.

[rlewis1946]

Marc, Thanks for these two videos. This is a great idea...building projects with "minimal" tooling! If you haven't already made a video on building book shelves using these techniques, please consider doing so.

Thanks for your good work!!

i love that you don't make a show that tries to sell thousands of tools for every little job. I hope that doesn't change...
