"Hey guys! Today we're making a very simple beginner-friendly workbench. First, cut your pieces to length with your miter saw (€500 new), and then use your table saw (€500 new) to cut wood into strips. Don't forget to chamfer your edges (€150 new). Oh, and I like to use my planer (€1000 new) to avoid having to sand my pieces!"

there's no community space where i can use stuff like that here, very annoying
Same here! The only reason I'm able to get into woodworking at all is because I'm able to fuck up the garden shed that comes with the house I bought.
That's cause you gotta start at redneck woodworking and work your way up to beginner friendly
Oh, I've definitely watched videos like that too! And the videos explaining why that redneck shit is dangerous if you like having fingers and/or toes. 😂
i can get a workbench at home depot for $300. i think i'm learning a lot about woodworking, though maybe not what they'd intended
But what if you spent $200 on materials, $2500 on tools, and an ungodly amount of your limited time on Earth to make it yourself? Ever think of that, huh.
The first lesson in woodworking is that all woodworking media exists to sell you very expensive tooling. You start by blowing the cost of a car on an industrial circle-cutting jig and after a few years if you get really good people will start telling you how to make everything in a house with an old kitchen knife and a mallet
If you hammer the other end hard enough, every knife can be a chisel. 🔨
