Since you asked for feedback, here is mine: Yes, I enjoyed the woodworking tips - short, direct, well presented - and would appreciate more in a series.

I bought this as a gift for my friend youtube.com/post/UgkxcZqgZ8Ynkiz5n_LxIWRlAicuzmz5k… who is just starting out in the world of wood work. He loves it!! There is a great section on different wood and what to use for what kind of job and a similar section for tools as well. The projects in it are things you probably would have a go at with clear instructions, pictures, videos and diagrams throughout. Great for a beginner/amateur wood worker.

Man, these are really useful. I’m always overthinking this kind of thing. Will definitely use the first tip to get the right depth on my half laps. I’d love to see more of these tips.
-
Guys, these tips are invaluable! Especially when they eliminate measuring…such a headache. Please continue this series. Love it!
-
I think this is a very helpful series. Would love to see it continue.
-
Please continue with this series. My only concern is remembering all of them in the shop! They are very, very useful.
-
I love this idea for an ongoing series! Keep them coming. I especially like that you take input from your viewers.
-
Very well explained and without any ANNOYING music. Keep up the great work. 👊
-
The tip for using tape as a micro adjustment: So brilliantly simple I can't believe I didn't think of it.
-
Thanks, I'm a hobbyist woodworker and getting my first FTG blade for dados--about a year ago--was a life-saver (no more chiseling out grooves from ATB blades).
-
Just commenting to add my own vote to please continue this series. There are a lot of tips/tricks videos but the ones selected here hit that nice balance of extremely useful but not overly obvious.
-
I love it. I love the amount of content in a short space of time. Don't get me wrong, I like long videos as well, but if I am about to try something new, I don't always want to sort through a 30 minute video to find the trick I needed!
-
"The tape as a micro adjustement" - a tip that is worth it's weight in gold!
-
Thank you! I am a new woodworker and can use all the help I can get. Love your channel, love your style, can't wait to get in the shop and use this to create the tables I wake up seeing in my head.
-
Please let this not be the last episode tip and tricks. It was extremely helpful
-
This series is super helpful. I'm just getting started and it's nice to have some quick, easy to remember tips that have huge impact. Between this and your "Taking Math out of Woodworking" I'm feeling much more capable
-
My builder is building me a house and I'm going to be doing a lot of the interior finishing. I have lots of oak boards and will be using these tips on a variety of projects. Please keep them coming. And, thank you both!!
-
I am new to woodworking in any serious sense. I find these simple (in the very best sense of the word) tips are so useful. Thank you for taking the time to share them 🙂

Smart viewers! These are great tips. I'll double down on endorsing the painters tape for micro-adjustments. Sneaking up on cuts was the biggest revolution for my projects when I learned the value of it.
