Editor’s Vlog

Six hours of work in a six minutes of video – that’s a power trip! But, seriously, this powerbank for my power tools is a real asset in my wood shop.

This project combines a free table I picked up from FB, with a bedside locker I found on the road – complete with someone else’s rubbish and spiders.

Sometimes you just have to start over – which is the lesson in this video, as I take two attempts to make a near-free miter-saw table.

I am blessed to have a double-garage space to work in – BUT – since it also has to accomodate

If you were left on the edge of a cliff with my last video – The scariest project I’ve ever tackled – welcome back for part2 and final of this epic project.

I did a very scary project in my shed last year. I wasn’t scared at the time, but looking at the footage now in editing, maybe I should have been.

Rosie bought me a new powertool recently – a planer thicknesser – and it has served me very well on many projects thus far in my wood shop.

In the fourth video of my new Make-n-Do series, I demolish my original, built-in workbench, now that I have a rock-solid bench on wheels.

Not clickbait – I seriously did bust a huge hole in the side of my two-storey brick-veneer house (on purpose) – and the house is still standing.

Using scraps and  scrounges, I made myself a rock-solid wood-working bench that will serve me well for a long time to come.

I’m starting a new vlog series from the editor’s wood shed called Make-n-Do, which = making do with limited cheapass tools and because doing makes better.
