In this video, I’ll break down the 4 woodworking approaches to help you determine which style is right for you. Keep in mind, these are broad categories and there can be plenty of overlap between them depending on the individual. Think of these as your general philosophy towards woodworking.

Sweet, this means my hopes of becoming a woodworker aren't dashed just because of my living situation. I'm moving into an apartment so I can't exactly set up a table saw and make tons of noise. I mostly want to do it because I want to build my own sturdy, high weight loft bed, because the ones online are RIDICULOUSLY expensive. Should be doable with some hand work, it'll just be a pain in the side.
Thanks for making this video
Thanks Steve!!! Great Info!!!👍😎
Great stuff!
if woodworking were a sport, you would be the best coach anyone could have. I love the way you explain things
Hey, Steve, tried to get your jig plans twice and have yet to receive the email to access them. Hate to do this publicly but still looking for them. And no, they are not in the spam folder.
I think most of us is the last group. Sometimes Im traditional woodworker when my son is sleeping (almost like its my choice :))
The most common thing is the novice thihns that lack of tools or cheap tools restrict their skills. But its the opposite. The good professional will always do better than novice whatever off brand tools he uses. Its like expect you can run marathon like the olimpic winner if only you get his shoes. My advice is always: buy basic tools when you start because the thing which restricts you is your skills not the tools. When you learn skills you learn which good tools you really need.
What about the absolute purist. The guy who plants the tree, cuts it down when it's grown, and then use only hand made tools. Anything other than that is just guys using cheating methods
Can't imagine using only hand tools for woodworking… the mdfs, melamine boards are such a hustle to cut… I prefer power tools until I need a hand tool
That was really helpful. Much more than listing the types indeed. ..
The fifth style is the one you enjoy.👌
Another benefit of hand tool woodworking: hand tools are truly "Buy Once, Cry Once." I have 80-150 year-old hand planes that work like new. Planned obsolescence wasn't a thing back when they were made. Many power tools made today (even contractor-grade ones) won't last more than a decade, even if you take good care of them.
