I don't see anything specific for the book, please forgive me if I'm treading toes here. I want to get a copy (maybe two) but had a question. Or two. Are you doing any "specials" for your Patron set? Just curious whether I should go ahead and pre-order, or wait for a "special offer" and 2: Do you have anything set up to get a signed hardcopy for your long-time fans? As I said, please forgive me if I'm in the wrong spot or time to ask these, but I've not been around much lately - in and out of the hosp, and sched for more surgery later this month - I don't want to miss any deadlines, etc.

Could be! @Nate, what nationality were you mimicking?

Alex

You sure it wasn't Giuseppe the Sicilian voice?

Rex and Nate, If that's all you have for bloopers you guys are killing it. Heck, we already new that. Thanks for sharing!

George Shaw

Love it!

I must agree with the guys above. Showing mistakes and imperfections and repeating that it doesn’t matter to make things perfect is something which helps a lot to get into this hobby. Thanks to your Woodworking for humans, I have now built terrible but functional stand for my daughter’s hi-fi, stand for my son’s practice sword. two slatted benches and accumulated 11 planes. Eleven in three months... And a workbench. If I have not seen that perfection is not the point, I would have stopped long ago and missed so much fun. Thank you, Rex, you do great job of making this stuff approachable.

I agree... love the wood working for humans series and I like that you often say you need more practice at something. It makes doing this stuff much more approachable and give me the feeling that I can do it as well! At 63 I am finding all this sawing, planing ( especially planing), boring holes, and using a hand axe exhilarating and satisfying! Its both psychological and physical therapy!

Rex... You're the god of Woodworking for Humans!!! Hail Rex

Rex Krueger

I know exactly how to take that. I'm no God of woodwork and I'm okay with that. I'm a teacher. I'm happy to be one.

Rex Krueger

Wow. Legally blind and still at it. Impressive!!!!

Rex Krueger

Very glad to provide a little relief!

The hard part about sharing my shop is that I have to STOP talking to myself.

Alexander May

Please don't take this the wrong way, Rex, but I love that your woodworking is human. I love Paul Sellers and Frank Klaus and Roy Underhill but they can sometimes live up on a pedestal as English/Hungarian/American gods of the ancient art of making wood in to beautiful things. Your work has always felt very approachable and your techniques don't seem like they require a lifelong trek up the Mount Olympus of woodworking to learn.

At the end when you dropped the waste piece; that was me all day today. Thank you for making me feel better.

Thank you for the bloopers. By the way, thanks to your sawing video, I made my first ever bird house for my mom today. Sure it is a jr. high project, but I was never allowed woodshop in the 80s. Now at 45 I am enjoying learning these beginner skills. I can not see the cutting line with my hand saw, so here is what I did. I took the measurement. Made my mark, then used my square to draw the line. Then I took a puece of wood the same width of the board I was cutting and clamped its edge to the line I just made. Instant cutting guide for the hand saw. I simply kept my hand on the side of the blade so that it remained touching my guide and thus stayed in its kerf. Thank you for your videos, they are a great gelp to me. I am legally blind, thus I have to figure out a different way sometimes.
