Youtube woodworking videos
So, I'm not exactly 'youtube famous' but I have just started a channel because I want to show what can be made with basic DIY brand tools. Most of my stuff is Ryobi, Ozito or Gumtree specials, and I think it's possible to make some great stuff without spending the big bucks. My first video is up, I'd really love some feedback from other woodworkers, here is the link to a recycled hardwood coffee table I made this weekend. Is it something you would spend 5 minutes watching while on the crapper at work?

Youtube woodworking videos
Nice one. I've just subscribed to your channel. Good on you for giving this a go - there aren't many Aussie woodworkers on YouTube (jords wood shop, the wood knight...can't think of anyone else???). This was enjoyable to watch - nice little project

Nice little video,
Well done.
One little suggestion is a hand plane might save a bit of work and money with the belt sander.
I know the belts can add up after awhile.
Cheers Matt

Well done. I've subscribed as well. I love seeing basic tools used. No festool, theodolites, sawstop etc etc. This gives us hobbyists real hope to make quality furniture for minimal cost.

Signed up too Simon.
Now, the big question on everyone's lips, I'll ask it for them. When you get to be famous and popular like the Wood Whisperer.....
Will you go to the dark side????
Festool.

Haha, if Festool want to give me a Donino to use in my videos... I won't be saying no! But I also wouldn't say no to Ozito.
I really want to keep showing people that DIY dummies like me can make something to be proud of. I bought my table saw for $50 off gumtree, yes a jointer and thicknesses would have given me a better result, but that doesn't mean I should wait until I have those to make something like this.
I also love using hardwood and am sick of seeing all those pine 2x4 projects on YouTube... Yuk! This table was made from about $40 worth of hardwood from my local demolition yard (Caylamax recycling at Brendale, Brisbane)Last edited by SimonLw; 20th September 2016 at 09:49 AM. Reason: Can't spell

Great video! I love watching and using plans from the US but everything is imperial! It'd be great to have an Aussie Wood Whisperer.

Hi Simon
That's how I started out. Actually, I had fewer tools ... made a tablesaw out of an upturned circular saw in a MDF table.
What you need are a couple of handplanes. Get a #7 to help joint the boards and a #4 to smooth ... no more dust!!!
Keep building!

Good work, Simon - I hope you inspire many fence-sitters to have a go at a project.
Any plans to have a voice track on future videos?
Looking forward to seeing more of your work.
