• Yeah dude… Get your shit together.

  Such lazy video editing.

  Unsubbed.

• very very very informative. I am a great fan of you

• Very helpful thanks 😊

• Excellent video! Very informative, clear and great tipps!

• I’m sorry I’ve got to correct you. At 7:30 you talk about ply being equally strong in both directions. This is definitely not true due to ply always having an odd number of layers, there is always 1 more layer in one direction than the other.

  This was very obvious when I made a very basic attic for storage. I used 12mm ply across the rafters, I went with a relatively thin ply for flooring to save on money and weight. When I forgot and ran the top and bottom grain along the rafters which are 600mm apart it was noticeably more springier than running the grain the other way, so much so that I replaced any of those mistakes.

• What’s the best (value too) for making 6-8 inch floating shelves?

• My projects a little bigger than a table…. I'm building a cabin on the back of a truck 😂

• God I wish we had home depot in Australia

• Thanks.

• What's shocking to me is the lumber prices, I would kill to be a maker 5 years ago. Now 2 pieces of ply cost me a whole paycheck

• The MDF is horrible if water can come into contact with it.
  Basically, it is irrecoverable.

• Pine – softwood, dents easily, easy to work with
  Oak – most common hardwood (followed by maple and walnut)
  Plywood – manufactured/glued together in criss-cross pattern for strength
  Birch – hobbyboard plywood, fun to work with
  MDF – ikea type fiber; biggest drawback is dust; painters tape and a sharp blade help avoid splintering cutting against the grain

• 6:48 why does it sound like he said it at gun point

• 2.53 for a board hahahahaha

• Douglas fir is a conifer but it's definitely not pine. Douglas fir is,,,you guessed it,,, a fir tree

• Thank you so much for this video. Truly appreciate your knowledge sharing. I am trying to donate to our small church pews for our new church building, and building the pews myself. Can I use plywood for 8 feet pews?

• We have aluminum gutters. Just found our pt wood is not recommended to use behind it. We live in an area that have snowy, icy winters and humid rainy seasons. Just found out PT wood is not recommended. Help!

• Lol it’s about $20 dollars for 1.8 meters of pine in the U.K.

• At 2:57 Douglas fir is not pine,

• 0:14 Australian hardwoods are all evergreen, with one exception fund in Tasmania. So that's you acacias, eucalypts etc. Softwoods we use for timber are imported and grown locally.

• The slight jingle in the background of this video sounds EXACTLY like my ringtone, it drove me nuts trying to figure out where it came from! Great video as always.

• MDF does not cut like butter, butter made a bigger mess on my table saw.

• Eucalyptus are not deciduous and is classified as a hard wood.
  Another way of telling which tree is which is that soft wood trees have needles and hardwood have broad leaves
