Woodworking Tools I Had, Have, & Hope to Add // Shop Tour 2021

Thanks for the tour!

Finally... someone came out and said it. TS55 is gutless. I have one and couldn't agree more. Should have bought the 75.

Your videos are great, keep it up!!

Great content thanks! Can you focus on the saw till (Ryan Cheney design). Would love to see more. Thanks

Where can I get a closer look on how that saw till is made? I've looked at RC's sites and don't see anything. It's outstanding.

What a dream space!

love it man , can wait to see you put all these beautiful tools to work

What kind of chisels would you recommend to someone just starting to learn? Thanks for the tour, loved it!

I really appreciate videos like this and you should learn to work with what you have and that you don't need all sorts of expensive tools to create high quality woodworking projects.

Hi nick thanks for the video, what that watch your sporting there.

Hi Nick, may I suggest the longer extension for your Hammer A3. It has an adaptable leg and is really sturdy. Easy to switch from input to output side, A bit expensive, but Felder sometimes has a sale (at least over here in Europe). Its designation is: 501*129. Price around 340 USD.

I have a hammer a3 41 on the way. Having trouble with the idea of letting go of my powermatics before using the hammer.
Any thoughts? Small shop and I want the saved floor space.

🙏

Love your shop and your work!

Great tour. Would like to see how you have your sharpening stand and stuff organized on it. Looks heavy enough to work on without it moving and holds all the stuff you need. He grinder stand looks like the AC or a really big dehumidifier. The workbench looks like you put all your love of the craft into it. Gonna watch the series on it. Cheers.

You said you live in Portland. Did you at one time live in Idaho? I see you have a small collection of Idaho license plates...Ada and Blaine Counties specifically...even Latah County.

I’d enjoy a tour of the content creation tools too 🙃

Still catching up. The gold top caught my attention early on. I figured there was good story there.

The cameraman doesn't show what he/she should when you speak. Especially talking about handtools and workbench.
But still, nice optimisation in 400 sq ft !

Which Portland? Left or Right? 😉

+1 for video content creation. ALSO, impressive work. nice shop. humble attitude. good job. keep up the great work. Be well~JDH

Late to the game here but do you find the planer capacity of that hammer to be enough for most applications ?

I'm your newest subscriber found you yesterday inspiring for the roubo bench .

Hey, is that a Briese 44 light in the corner?!

Perhaps other viewers may comment but my biggest concern with all my great woodworking tools is theft. I so want my best tools displayed but I cringe how easy they would disappear in case of break in. Perhaps it’s time for security systems

Nice tour…I enjoyed watching. I always like watching stuff that I would never be able to do.

Auriou rasps are made in France for sure.
I know how they take of wood.
Truly superb.
Liogier exist too.
Liogier produce some forms that do not appear at Auriou.
Both brands are world's best quality hand stiched rasps.

Fantastic

So I bought most of my shop tools at an estate sale and I’m having issues with my table saw motor, have you had to repair and motors and what would you recommend? Also, local to Beaverton.

Martin Jointers are nice, but they're super expensive and you can get an old American one, Oliver, Northfield, Yates, Crescent. and others for $3000 or less for a 16" Not sure what Powermatic Planer you were thinking about, the older 225s are not too bad with a helical head, but they are still not as delicate, as a Whitney, Buss, or an Oliver 229d. Northfields are nice as well. I don't know how the felder sliders are, I have an SCMI bought it new in 2004 and it still cuts perfectly square, Martins are super nice but they're really expensive, not Sure they're worth the extra money.

Sorry I hadn’t seen you before! Beautiful stuff! If you sold your watch you could buy any tools you want! 😄

It's called Acclimate your lumber ,50% percent R/H perfect !

Can we get makes on your handplanes and joinery planes. This is a big interest to me.

What do you use to sharpen your chisels?

what's the tail/dog vice on the joinery bench with a silver knob? Thanks

Wow. I just about bought the Grizzly $900 bandsaw 2 days ago. Good to hear. As so many others have said, enjoy your channel and cannot believe I didn't find it sooner. Am busy watching all of your vids! 🙂

Great shop, many thanks for sharing 👍🏻

Favourite glue for quick set, slow set?

Mallets?

I'm wondering if I'm getting slow or what. I've watched a bunch of your videos and noticed you use that bandsaw like a madman (in a good way) and I was thinking the other night, 'that dude doesn't seem to ever use a table saw'...I was surprised actually to see it in this video. Maybe you have in your vids and it's in those quick mashups, where you don't show much of the cutting, milling anyway.

What brand and model is your bandsaw?

I saw that you were self-taught, you should do a video about how you got into woodworking and the progress.

Nick, have you ever done a video on sharpening? Your tools appear very sharp and for me, sharpening properly is an elusive “unicorn”. I’d love to see your process. If you’ve done one, please point us to it. High regards!

What's with all the idaho license plates by the door?

Hey Nick! Nice tour. One of the tools I noticed that most people probably don't consider a tool is, you wear boots! Maybe I'm just a little different, but I see a lot of woodworkers wearing sandals or perish the thought "flip flops". I have a neighbor who lives in flip flops, none of my business. He's older than me, so if that works go with it. I was required to wear steel toe boots for years as a regulation of the work I did. I even teased my mother once when she showed me my baby shoes. I told her "You had me in work boots even when I was a baby" LOL
Nice tour and I enjoy your work.
Thanks

It's nice to see a workbench that's built properly. The dovetail mortise and tennon for the legs is great, flushes the legs to the surface which means more clamping surface. I did the same thing to my work bench.

I commented on another video how impressive your video editing was and asked who did it... Now knowing you do it yourself, I'd love to see your designing, recording and editing toolkits.

I've been collecting tools for 2 years and finally got access to workshop space (backwards, I know) and am now interested in recording my woodworking journey from the very beginning. Any behind the scenes your willing to share would be much appreciated!

amazing shop for an amazing woodworker... thx for sharing
