Happy Friday!!!
I have just received the first part of the linseed oil/pine tar treatment for the shop cedar siding…
I will hopefully apply it to one or two sides this weekend.
It is 1:1:1 parts boiled linseed oil, pine tar, and mineral spirits.
I will end up applying two coats.
Should last longer and look better than paint.
What do you have planned this weekend?

Something beginners often run into when they’re cutting parts in the shop… wood or metal…
They focus on hitting an exact number. They’ll aim for a perfect measurement every time.
What usually causes problems is not thinking about the range the part can fall into.
The part doesn’t need to be exact…
It needs to be within an acceptable limit so it still functions.
That limit is tolerance…

This is exactly how I feel about it. In someways it seems gate kept. When all is running good I like to use it. It is a quiet system and lightweight. However, when I need to do something that is a few clicks on the Mac. I have to go to AI and command line. That fact keeps me using my Mac as my daily driver and Linux when I have a windows box to use. This is no shade on Linux, it is what it is…

Nope, not joking at all. I like Linux but it is a mystery to me. I set up my shop computer with Ubuntu because I can't stand windows. So it really is a word that I see when copying commands to paste into Command line to get something changed. My CNC machine I set up with LinuxCNC and Debian. But still don't know commands... 🙃 Cheers!

Had a conversation with a CNC repair technician working on one of our very specialized machines.
I mentioned I’ve been building a class around basic shop skills… tools, measurement, and problem solving.
He said the older experienced guys are leaving his company, and there’s no one there to teach this kind of work anymore.
It made me realize there is a real shortage of places where you can learn the practical skills this kind of work depends on.
Curious how many people have run into that in their field?

TOOL TIP TUESDAY:
Today’s tool tip is not about a tool..
It’s about alcohol!
No, not the drinking kind…
Denatured alcohol, the kind you get at the hardware store…
Denatured alcohol has some great uses…
1️⃣ It is a great general degreaser.
2️⃣ Mix 1:1 with water and a drop of soap, it makes an eyeglass cleaner.
3️⃣ It dissolves and cleans latex house paint off of surfaces.

A tape measure works well for rough measurements, but it’s limited by the divisions printed on the tape.
Most tapes only go down to a thirty second of an inch, which means anything smaller requires estimating between the lines.
Calipers remove that guesswork by giving you a direct reading of the measurement.

A common mistake when using calipers is assuming they only measure outside dimensions.
The outside jaws are the most obvious feature, but calipers are designed to measure several different things including inside dimensions, depth, and step measurements.
Learning these functions makes the tool much more useful in the shop.

Safety rules are training wheels…
When you’re new to the shop, safety rules aren’t just about protecting yourself…
They teach you to notice hazards and think ahead. Following a simple framework helps you start developing awareness…
Which over time becomes intuition. Beginners often don’t realize this until they’ve had a few “aha” moments of understanding risk.
If you’re just getting started, I break this down in my latest video.

I’ve spent the last few weeks outlining the adult shop class I’ve been talking about…
Getting clear on the structure helped a lot. It’s focused on hands-on skills you can actually use, including how to use tools safely, work with materials, and put things together. The outline maps a path from beginner projects all the way to more advanced projects that teach how things are designed and built in manufacturing.
This outline will also guide some upcoming videos, so it’s becoming a foundation for a few different things I’m building…
Still early, but it finally feels solid enough to build from. I’ll keep sharing progress as it comes together.

TOOL TIP TUESDAY:
The combination disc/belt sander is one of those tools you don’t think about much until you really need it.
Then it becomes the hero of the shop!
It handles quick miter touch-ups, rough sharpening on knives or chisels, and freehand shaping on wood handles.
Not flashy, rarely talked about, but incredibly handy when the moment hits.

I’ve been slowly building an e-book since the summer, and I made some great progress on it this weekend. It’s now sitting at about 40 pages.
It’s a beginner-friendly guide to the main woodworking machines I use in my own shop, written from my real experience.
Every tool in the book is one I actually own and use, and the photos are all from my shop.
The goal is to help new woodworkers figure out which machines really matter and how to build a capable home shop without wasting money.
Getting close to wrapping up the draft. More updates soon…

I took last week off from posting about the classes, but I’ve been thinking a lot about what would make them actually useful.
The idea that keeps coming up is micro skills…
the small, foundational abilities that make every project easier.
Things like making a clean cut, measuring accurately, choosing the right fastener, or understanding what a tool is really doing.
Most people never get taught these basics. But once you learn them, everything clicks.
So I’m sketching out simple lessons built around these micro skills, taught step by step to build real confidence with tools.
If you could learn one small skill that would make everything else easier, what would it be?”

Here’s the truth about shop accidents:
They don’t usually happen when you’re focused and careful. They show up when you’re relaxed, when the work feels “easy,” when you think you’ve got it all figured out.
That’s when the soldering iron sneaks a burn. The table saw takes a bite.
Stay intentional. Stay aware. Even on the routine stuff.

This was one of the most entertaining…

“Pre-trade school” really stuck with me.
Learning about tools, materials, and how things fit together early on just makes sense.
It got me thinking… what if we actually built something like that?
A way for both kids and adults to learn real, hands-on skills again.
It’s never too late to get comfortable with tools, materials, and fixing things yourself.

MATERIAL IDENTIFICATION WEDNESDAY:
I gave clear alder a try for the first time this weekend, and I was surprised by how nice it is to work with.
It’s got that same kind of softness and texture as pine, but with a smoother, more even grain.
It can get a little chippy when routing edges, but overall it cuts clean and finishes well. For the price, it’s a really solid option, definitely one I’ll be using again.

Option C – Practical STEM / Pre-Engineering
This one is a bit more niche. It’s a live, hands-on class for students interested in engineering or design.
It would walk them through the real process of turning an idea into something tangible: sketching, choosing materials, using basic tools, and building a working prototype.
The goal is to bridge the gap between theory and practice, the kind of practical skills they rarely teach in engineering school but that matter most in the real world.
If this sounds like something that would fit your family or homeschool, go back to the original quoted post and choose Option C.

GM! In a recent video, I give a tour of my wood shop / metal shop. Haven’t posted a tour in over a year. Lots of progress!

Right now, this trend of manufacturing shops closing is only going one way.

Thanks again to everyone who liked the last post…
I wanted to share a bit more about Option B: a hands-on homeschool shop curriculum.
This would be a multi-week, live course for students learning at home, something that feels like a real shop class again, not just pre-recorded videos.
Each session would cover tool use, safety, basic woodworking, simple repairs, and maybe even a few lessons in electricity or basic electronics. Students could ask questions and get real-time guidance as they work through projects.
The goal is to help kids understand how things work, learn practical problem-solving, and build confidence using their hands, all in a guided, interactive format parents can trust.
If that sounds like something that would fit your homeschool setup, or if you know a family who might like it, go back to the original post and vote B, or share your thoughts below.👇
No pressure, I’m just gauging interest right now and collecting ideas.

Love this feedback…
Exactly the kind of practical skills I want the adult shop class to cover. Everyday projects or skills that build confidence and independence.
If you could pick just one first project to learn in a class like this, what would it be?
Or, what skill would make the biggest difference in your daily life?
No pressure… I’m just collecting ideas right now, so feel free to drop a thought or suggestion below.👇

Thank you for your contribution. I will look into it. The infrastructure has yet to be determined. 🙂

Thanks to everyone who liked the last post…
it’s great to see some interest in the idea.
I wanted to give a bit more detail on Option A: an adult shop class.
Not just woodworking, but learning how to use tools safely, handle common projects around the house, and understand how things go together.
The goal isn’t to become a professional, it’s to feel capable again and confident tackling practical tasks.
If that sounds like the kind of class you’d be interested in, go back to the original post and vote A, or reply there with your thoughts.
No pressure, this is just me gauging interest and seeing what resonates.
Thanks!

TOOL TIP TUESDAY:
I used to think this tool was a solution looking for a problem…
Impact drivers in my mind, were for rusty bolts on old car leaf springs!
Then I got a cordless impact driver along with a cordless drill from Milwaukee.
I then realized how useful they are for driving screws into wood, much better than cordless drills.
The impact from the driver makes driving screws without a pilot hole, effortless…
In my mind, they belong in every shop!

A lot of people never got the chance to take a real shop class. To learn how to use tools, work with wood, or fix things confidently.
I would like to put together some small, hands-on Zoom classes to bring that kind of learning back.
The idea is to help people feel capable again, whether that’s an adult who wants to build something real or a homeschool parent who wants their kids to learn practical skills alongside academics.
Here are the three ideas I’m testing:
A) Adult shop class: learn tools, materials, and small projects that build skill and confidence.
B) Homeschool shop curriculum: a hands-on series that covers woodworking and tool use safely at home.
C) Pre-engineering STEM class: practical skills that connect to science and design thinking. (The stuff they don’t teach you in engineering school)
Which one would you or your family be most interested in? Reply A, B, or C, or share your thoughts below. 👇
