Grips, woodwork video #11 from the Neon Saw workshop

Here we go then with the next video in this free series introducing the new woodworker to the basic kit of handtools. All the tools featured here are tried and tested for their indispensability and general usefulness and, with the addition of one or two power tools – notably a cordless drill – they’ll enable you to take on nearly any woodworking or DIY job you might encounter.

It’s worth pointing out that the info contained in the videos isn’t the full, complete and definitive guide to all tools everywhere, but is an entry-level introduction and simple explanation of the mostly commonly used woodworking tools you’ll want in your average kitbag.

Woodworker’s Kitbag – Grips

Any practical work, and especially carpentry and woodwork, frequently involves a need to hold something securely. Closely related to the clamps which we looked at earlier are grips and pliers. Familiar to us all, these tools play an important part of the construction process, and are a hugely useful if not essential part of the woodworker’s toolkit.

About This Free Woodwork Video Lesson

In this video we take a look at some of the different grips available, and weigh up their relative merits. Using grips or pliers at some stage in a job is a common occurrence, and one which highlights the importance of this supremely useful tool. As ever, they come in a variety of different types and sizes and all have their relative merits.

Woodworker’s Kitbag – Clamps

Any practical work, and especially carpentry and woodwork, frequently involves a need to hold something steady. For this reason – and for many others – clamps are an indispensable part of the woodworker’s toolkit. There are many different varieties, shapes and sizes, but they all share one common characteristic – they’re all supremely useful.

About This Free Woodwork Video Lesson

In this video we take a look at some of the different clamps available, and weigh up their relative merits. Using clamps to hold your work steady can really change your view of things and the difference is remarkable. Clamps are also vital for holding two component parts together while the glue goes off, and are an essential part of any starter toolkit.

Woodworker’s Kitbag – Tape Measure

One of the humblest of tools in the kit. Often taken for granted by homeowners and DIYers everywhere, but genuinely indispensable. A tape is the first tool to reach for when starting a job and you’ll want one on you at all times before, during (and usually after) work. Get another one now.

About This Free Woodwork Video Lesson

In this video we take a look at the basic tape measure and consider what type to get, Metric or Imperial. A slightly annoying feature of UK tapes is that they feature both systems which can lead to confusion and awkwardness when marking from your tape onto a job. Whether you prefer Feet and Inches or Millimetres and Metres, I would strongly recommend you buy a tape that has solely one or the other on it.

Possibly one of the most useful of all edge tools, a set of sharp chisels in your kitbag really tells the world that you’re taking your woodworking seriously. Used for forming joints, general shaping and probably a thousand other tasks, the chisel plays an important part in all aspects of woodworking.

About This Free Woodwork Video Lesson

In this video we take a look at the popular type of chisel and consider just what you will need for setting up a toolkit. If at all possible, try to get a feel of a chisel before you buy it, and don’t rule out second hand tools as you can really get some good stuff at boot fairs and similar – if you’re careful / lucky.

18 Part Free Woodwork Video Course From The Neon Saw Workshop

Well, I’ve finally managed to get around to shooting a Free Woodwork Video Course at the Neon Saw workshop (familiar to some), and it’s with a great deal of pleasure – plus not a little nervousness and apprehension – that I can start it all off here, courtesy of plenty of help and guidance from my personal digital marketing guru and friends at White Rabbit Consultancy.

I’m sure I’m not the only one who doesn’t know quite as much as I’d like to about many of the technical matters involved in filming, and so I hope you’ll forgive me if you notice anything slightly substandard during this, the first series of woodworking videos (and yes, a second is already underway!) from Hove’s home of woodwork.
