Youtube tutorials

Just wondering if anyone has any youtube channels that are good for tutorials? It's been a long time since I've touched any woodwork at all, but I feel like I need a refresher over the basics, i.e your mortis and tenon and dovetail joints.
Somewhere to start off and work my way up.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @theskywaspink

The Bunnings Warehouse Youtube channel is my first choice for excellent step-by-step D.I.Y. tutorials, though I might be a little biased!

In regards to Youtube channels which delve into details on various timber jointing methods, I'll leave that up to the community as I'm sure they have plenty of favourites.

Hi @theskywaspink,

I'm sure there will be plenty of members who would be happy to share their favourite sources of woodworking advice.

Let me tag some of our keen woodworkers such as @Brad, @woodalwaysworks, @r23on, @She_Skills, @LePallet, @Yorky88, @Jamespeter100 and @Poppop.

Thanks,

Jason

My god,that's a lot of videos. I'm sure there's some stuff in there.

Looks like he also makes some pasta in the workshop too...

I like Dave Stanton some basic stuff and some advanced.

flowershow guy shows a now retired furniture and glass restorer as part of his stream not basic and they are from New Zealand.

Twitter is probably where I follow the most people who make some ******** amazing stuff that makes my fitting a dog door today look tame, we also have long standing jokes around certain people, I feel privileged to be able to interact with them.

Dave looks like he has some good stuff, real basic. I'm after a refresher on the stuff I would have learnt 25 years ago back in high school.

And the Steve bloke with the Masterclass looks like he used to do stuff for Channel 31 but that closed and he's kept it running in his shed on youtube which is great to see. I'll look into these for a bit!

Steve was on 31 for about 12 months don’t know why he was taken off. l do like how he has simplified a few things. As for the other person haven’t looked at his stuff as of yet.

There's a chap in the UK that has a great web site and demonstrates good use of hand tool. I’ll chase it up and put the link up.

Just found my bookmark a fellow woodworker put me onto Paul Sellers, he is good. Plenty of good tutorials.

It looks like Channel 31 was taken off air at the end of 2016. It was a self-funded network. But looks like he's still going strong on youtube with a decent following and making a bit of coin with subscriptions. I imagine given he's running the show he can change the format to how he likes it. I've watched a live stream and an ep so far. I just need to not fall asleep on the couch while watching.

Paul Sellers videos look good too, I'll add them in the subscription.

Some that have educated, entertained and inspired me:

DownUnderWoodworks

The wood whisperer

Steve Ramsey

Izzy Swan (He likes jigs. I like jigs.)

Stumpy Nubs (how cool is that name?)

For top level craftsmanship, look up "William Ng Woodworking"

I hope some of these can educate, entertain and inspire you. Happy woodworking!

Jason

Great to have you join in the discussion @Imakestuff. Many thanks for sharing some recommendations.

We are looking forward to seeing some of your woodworking handiwork shared on the site soon. We have an amazing community here full of clever and creative members and I'm sure they would love to have you share your work and experience.

Please let me know if you ever need assistance getting the most from the Workshop site.

Welcome,

Jason

Hi these sites sound like they are worth looking at do you have the links for them just to make life easier.

I like the idea of jigs as specially when multiple parts need to be made.

Imakestuff

Thanks Jason,

When we get some really rainy days I'll be digging deeper into the workshop. I'll share some photos of a router table table I made using the Ryobi router and router table from Bunnings. Busy at the farm at the moment.

Imakestuff

Yes, I'll send some links. Bear with me for a few days. Busy at the farm, I've almost forgotten what my workshop looks like!

Slow day at work, and also a cold one in Adelaide.

I've been aimlessly wandering through Youtube (isn't that what it's for?) and come across a guy called Matt Estlea, looks like he has some beginner stuff that could prove useful to those who need a refresher after a long absence.

Plenty of videos on how to make joints, what they are used for, through to some projects and larger stuff. Almost like being back in school, just no teachers yelling at you 🙂
