Small Workshop Tour - February 2021 // Single Car Garage Woodworking Shop (20' x 12')
Starting off this YouTube channel with a tour of my one-car garage (20' x 12') woodworking shop (with supplementary basement workbench) based in London, Ontario, Canada. While it is a small workshop, I'm grateful to have a mostly-dedicated space for woodworking and I am generally happy with the current layout.
It's been a fun experience recording/editing my first video and I look forward to sharing more in the future - thank you for watching!
Just a few months ago I placed my DeWalt cordless jigsaw (model: DCS334B) on a list of my 10 worst tool purchases. After receiving helpful feedback from the community, I revisited the jigsaw and after a few setting changes and some new blades, I'm getting perfectly clean curve cuts and straight cuts!

In this fifth update, I'll show you the roundover to let cords and cables move easier, the finish (Osmo 3031), how I can easily add auxiliary tops for to prevent excessive damage to the larger sacrificial top. Plus, I'll make the first cut into the completed top.

In this video, I'll show you how I recondition my Porter-Cable band saw (PCB330BS) by doing a general cleanup, removing rust from the cast iron top, and fashioning a new zero clearance insert from a close match purchased online.
As much as I wish this were a cleanup of a newly acquired bandsaw, I'm embarrassed to say that this cleanup need stemmed from my own neglect of the tool over the past couple of years. I'm happy that I finally got to this job and I'm thrilled with the result!

In this video, I take a look at two types of bench sanders - a 12" disc sander, and a 14" oscillating spindle sander. The 12" disc sander (Craftex CX506) has been a well-used addition to my shop for the past few years and the newly-acquired 14" oscillating spindle sander is a helpful addition that will make sanding the inside of curves much easier.
While the two products featured (not sponsored) in this video are from a Canadian brand, there are generally near-identical alternatives available in other countries. Take a look at your local woodworking retailer to see what they have with regards to disc and spindle sanders.

In this review, I'll walk you through the setup and use of the Oneida Dust-Free Router Hood used in combination with my Bosch 1617 EVSPK router. I compare a cut made with no dust collection to one using the router hood, which was connected to my Festool CT MIDI I dust extractor.

In this video I compare features between two premium 10" dual-bevel sliding compound mitre saws, the Bosch Glide CM10GD and the Makita LS1019L, complete with laser. Both of these saws allow you to get snug up against a wall as they have forward sliding systems.

Join me as I share my first impressions (not a formal review) of the new Kreg Pocket-Hole Jig® 720PRO and compare it to the Kreg Pocket-Hole Jig® K5 Master System that I have come to enjoy over the past few years.
This is not an in-depth review, but in a later video, I do put the two jigs head-to-head to see which one I'm going to stick with going forward. You can check out that video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9MKjGPDMAg
