“They aren’t old enough to make the decision to have their faces out for the world to see” This resonates with me so much. I can’t believe people smear FB and IG with their kids faces. It’s a gross invasion of privacy
@@3x3CustomTamar they probably won't, everything that's wrong in their life will be you or your husband's fault. Maybe when they have their own children they may understand.
Agree. In an ever-increasing digital world, and once they are old enough, kids should be in charge of developing their online identity......not their parents. Kids are not here to bring attention to their parents.
I know this video is 2 years olds but, its my first time seeing it. I am brand new to woodworking, I am not great at it right now lol. But I love your content and how you explain things. I love how down to earth and honest you are with your viewers. All the best to you and your family. Thanks for sharing your creativity and spirit with us.
You're such a personable, down to earth person. I appreciate you taking the time to answer some questions. I love the origin of the company name and have enjoyed watching you grow in your skills. Keep up the good work and I hope the joy and accomplishment that is visibly present when you achieve the end goal continues for you.
I’m Irish and I never have a problem understanding your accent. And the way you pronounce TEMPLATE is how we do on this side of the water. The fact that you are only a few years doing woodworking is amazing and a credit to you. I always imagined that you would begin with “ as a child I used to help my grandfather in his shed “ how wrong was i. 🇮🇪
Haha! I forgot to mention that my grandfather was a woodworker. But sadly I never got to learn anything from him… I like to say that it’s just in my blood ☺️
After watching this episode, I have deeper respect to your hard work with being multi tasking with keeping private as private and being wonderful mom of three children. Life is short and you found what you like. It inspires other’s life including me. Thank you very much. I’m learning wood working from you and planning to challenge a lot this year.
About failures: Yes, I love it when youtube woodworkers (and others) show their failures. BECAUSE I want so see how they deal with it / fix it / make it work. Shit happens to me all the time and I learn most from other peoples oopses and their fixes. Please keep showing these.
Fwiw, I started watching your channel because you were using a more affordable saw. It's impressive to see what you can do with it, and how you work around it.
I am very glad you answered the question about your accent. Personally, I absolutely LOVE the way you say "drawer." It makes me giggle every time you say it. Don't ever change that for any one.
24:00, your philosophy on mistakes...this is the reason I subscribed to your channel. I love how you process through things on camera when your work doesn't go as planned. I really appreciate your attitude and share your videos with my daughters.
I started woodworking 2 years ago when I wanted a new nightstand, and didn't want press board. Since then I've built 2 desks, a TV stand with storage, a tv shelf, 3 side tables, and a shelving unit for my printer. You are an inspiration.
I actually tried telling one of the “template” haters that I say it the same way as ppl in the UK, and where do you think English came from?? That made him really mad…. 😂😂
I know you'd like to upgrade, but the fact that you can make great projects using the contractor's saw is very helpful to folks like me who don't have room in their garage for a cabinet saw. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into producing your videos!
I'm glad you answered the table saw question. I bet there are sponsors just drooling over putting a new saw in your shop. Love your content and I'm glad you did this video. Sometimes it's hard to realize that the person we watch so much of, is actually just a real person. Cheers!
Tamar, thank you for the video and your honesty. To address one point - enjoying watching you fail. My wife and I love all of your content (and she is particularly inspired by what you achieve) - and watching you fail is something that we genuinely appreciate. It helps us connect with your honesty and experience, and reminds us (when we fail) that it's OK. Excited to see you grow and adapt to the new space, the new challenges you throw yourself, and especially see you enjoy the new saw! All the best.
Tamar - you are so awesome and I'm so happy that it sounds like things are going to be happening for you! Please just don't become unrelatable like many other RU-vidrs out there! Aside from your ingenious engineering, your relatability is what I love most about you! Thanks for this awesome video!
@@3x3CustomTamar As a guy with a small basement shop with a jobsite tablesaw and not enough space to rip a board longer than five feet, I've found you to be perhaps the most relatable RU-vid woodworker, with your garage shop filled with entry level tools. Being largely self-taught myself, I've enjoyed watching you develop your skills.
@@christopherfeld6371 not at all to take away from Tamar but to add to her knowledge check out rag n bone brown. He does similar work to her and doesnt use the fancy tools like a lot of others
It's sad to hear how so many take for granted what you do and bash the petty things. I've already admired your skills and ingenuity and now even more knowing your thick skin and keeping things real. Also huge congratulations on the Fine Woodworking contribution. Many longer-time WW's (and YT'rs) would love to have that honor!
The other night I was talking to my daughter and our conversation was around tools... she is her fathers daughter... she is doing over her kitchen all new cabinets, knocked down a wall and expanding the kitchen. Then we got into where to buy tools... and which ones are the most important to have, the biggest bang for your buck tools... it was a very interesting conversation! Also, she has 9 kids, full time job and home schools and she has more energy... I put her on to your videos. I found this very interesting how you got started, now... I understand why your videos are so well put together, probably why you're one of my favorite woodworkers! Great job, keep up the good work... another morning coffee video for me! :)
I can't BELIEVE people are letting your accent inform their decision to view your content. It's baffling. I find your content informative, helpful, positive, uplifting and yes, entertaining! Your channel is on in the background while cooking and just puttering around sometimes. Keep doing what your doing!!!
You know, you're probably the most requested 'next guest' on Steve Ramsey's interview RU-vid show. After this, he won't have anything to talk to you about! I really like how much you smile and laugh in your videos. P.S., I hope you enjoy your new space!
You said it, "I learn from the mistakes", love your articulate discussions and down to earth approach. I hope you create a classic guitar someday, that would be a great milestone to your career.
One of the best things about your videos is that you show your mistakes and how you fix them. Another great thing you do is explain your thought process.. thank you and keep up the good work
I started with a skill saw, random orbital sander and of course a router. Those 3 tools made desks, Cedar chests, shelves, cabinets and numerous more projects. Life was much simpler with 3 tools, now with a big shop and endless power tools they all get used less. But it is more enjoyable when I can use them.
I'm glad to see someone else deploy the same spray both exhaust system that I typically use. My fan a different brand though. I also have been contemplating getting a bench top drill press and mount it on the side of a wooden bench top and mounting it to the top of an old tool cart that I have in the corner. It could still be used for storage.
Thank you so much for what you bring to us . The joy of watching you makes my day .not only do I learn how to get out of a jam, I also see what a great Mom you are . Wouldn’t change a thing , especially your accent. And to make mistakes is human , keep doin , I’ll keep watching..😇
I enjoyed you Q &A. Yours is one of my favorite woodworking channels. Most of the guys just make shop furniture, which is great, but I love that you make real things that you want to have and use. Also, I grew up in Queens so I love your accent. It's like being home again.
I love your videos. I love your accent. And the primary reason I started watching, and continue to watch is the fact that you're using tools that are accessible and affordable for most of us who might be on a limited budget. You're showing us that it's possible to do great things without having the best and most expensive equipment. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and also for the candid nature of this particular video.
Hello Tamar, I know you are a great inspiration for many Brazilians woodworkers, beginners and experienced, and I hope you continue gracing us with your gorgeous presence and excellent videos. I learned a lot with you. Thank you.
If it helps, I personally find content with mistakes in them, really helpful in giving me confidence that this stuff is doable. Shows that mistakes are part of game. Makes it easier to see that pros also make mistakes. So many vids are flawless. Key feature of many of channels I watch. Thanks for chat.
Of all the colloquial pronunciations saying "draw" instead of "drawer" is one of my favorites. I always assumed it was because you 'draw' it from the chest and it was a different word altogether, but seeing you spell the word the way I'm used to made me realize it's just a different (but not uncommon) dialect. Love your channel.
I subscribed a long time ago because I thought you explained stuff so well, but I'd also note that you are just so naturally genuine and personable (I see that is a repeat comment, so what ...) that you make it very enjoyable to watch. I was a bit surprised though at how much extra time creating video takes over just doing projects, but I believe it. All the best for you and your family!
Wow ! I started watching you at the beginning of your channel ☺️ I just noticed you now have over half a million subscribers !!! Congratulations 👏👏 💜💜💜
Thank you for sharing some details when you certainly didn’t have to! You are one of the first woodworkers I chose to follow as I started my path. I admire your commitment to your family. You are a great role model in both ways. Keep up the good work, mom!
Im a big fan of your and I have my own home workshop in the uk, I just wanted to express my appreciation for all of you help and advice in your videos, its really refreshing how humble some of the woodworking community. I know exactly what you mean about being private, im exactly the same. anyway, you are awesome and so is your work, thankyou so much for being a great role model for me and others who aspire to be hobbyists and pros in the community. All the best in the future, Love and Respect.
I like to see the content makers like yourself be real and show the mistakes. We are all human. We know anyone can edit out with computer editing mistakes. Don't let it get you down. Keep learning and try to keep from repeating the same mistakes. Knowing and seeing others learn gives newer woodworkers the confidence that they can overcome the problem too.
Great video. FAQ’s are really helpful, in finding out more of what it takes, to either build the project, and to make the videos. I have one piece of feedback. For me, its not that I like to see you fail, its good to see that everyone makes mistakes, including you. But what is great about that mistake, you come up with either a way to work around it or a fix.
Totally get it. It could be really disheartening when you fail in your own work and all you see are perfect projects other ppl are making. And that’s why I chose to include the mistakes. Bc I remember feeling that way in the beginning 👍
I find it amazing that in 2021 a skilled woman has to defend her work as hers (not the husband), or defend her family's privacy (Male youtube woodworkers that do not show their family are asked anout it?). You make great stuff and make great videos, thank you!
I appreciate your humility. Your realness is the main thing that draws me to your channel. I hope you get as much enjoyment from your efforts as your followers do. Also, your accent is hilarious :)
This is a great session. I really appreciated hearing about how you keep work and family separate. I like that you treat it like a "Real Job" (Yes, I know it is.) and keep hours for each part of your life. You seem to enjoy what you are doing, and I am enriched by your content.
Really appreciated this video. Especially the work/life balance stuff. I am just starting in woodworking as I wind down my career as an engineer and machinist. I love your creativity and the way you explain how you did what you did. Also, from the first video I watched of yours, I knew where you were from. NJ boy here.
Wow! Tamar thanks so much for sharing a bit about you. You have inspired me to give woodworking a try and during these trying times we are in, I have learned and accomplished so much from your videos. I really enjoy watching your projects come to life, you are very talented and I think a great teacher! I am sure your children are the biggest benefactor of this talent. Side note I have built almost all of your jigs 😊 not that I needed them yet for projects but I learned so much just building them and learning how to use the tools as well. Grrrr people thinking your husband does the build! I loved your response! You should see the looks when I land my own plane at some strange airport and I am the only one to get out, then some guy asks you flew in here by yourself?? I laugh and say no I just used the autopilot! Looking forward to watching your next guitar build!
Just shows that an idea can become a reality when you put your mind to it... From adaptation and flexibility along the way, to succeed through perseverance, and to make success out of failures. The true nature of your inner self and belief in dedication and professionalism is a credit to all young people that it never is easy to start but the level of achievement is endless. Well done from Wales, UK 👍
One of the largest reasons I originally subscribed was seeing what you could do with the saw I started with. Lots and lots of reasons I stay and jump all over watching your new videos
In my late 20s, I helped a friend move to New England. We went to a grocery store, and an announcement about daily specials came over the loud speakers. First experience with a Bostonian accent - I laughed myself silly. I am sure the customers thought I was nuts, and maybe rude.
Idea for a "fun" project: make a cutting board from whiskey barrel staves. Only rule is you have to glue outside of one stave to inside of the next. I attempted this and cannot get it where there are no little pits or gaps but I bet you can figure it out. Love your content!
Hello Tamar, I liked you, but now that I've learned more about you, your family and interests, I like you even more. I think it's great that you separated your hobby and family life. Family is the most important thing in life. Keep up the good work and let us continue to participate in your hobby and love to work with wood. Stay healthy
It comes across in your videos that you love the woodworking more than the filming. Lol. Your channel among a few others really inspired me to get into the hobby.
Hi Tamar, I first heard about you when you explained a very complicated wood joint (which I have since lost in RU-vidspace). Bravo for that one. I went on to look for jigs since I was given a small router for Christmas. I have not heard your pronunciation of drawer until this Q & A video. I live in Vancouver, BC, Canada where most say "droar" for drawer. Accents are interesting - and yours is so compelling together with your wonderful presentations. Keep up the good work. Larry
I've been wondering about this for a long time... I'm looking over your left shoulder, underneath the workbench behind you, those grey boxes with the neon green trim... so many woodworking channels i subscribe to have them,,, what the heck are they... thanks... i love this video and all your others... keep producing!!... Best, Rob.
Family first always!!! Good for you!!! Love you accent!!! All good information!!! Thanks for sharing!!! I have the same problem making mistakes, something always happens!!! Learn to live with it!!
I have been watching your videos for a while now and I think they are wonderful and inspiring. You are a very talented craftsman and your presentation is clear and personable. Please keep the content coming. From a fan from England
I love watching your videos. Keep up the good work. Your proficiency in film and woodwork is very apparent. You are an inspiration to all of us aspiring woodworkers.
I'm a recently retired Electrical Engineer, and I love the fact that you can relate to me - or rather "us" - those who aspire to make homemade beautiful stuff. Also, I love that you use a "job site table saw" rather than a huge heavy table saw with a huge table built around it. I don't have a woodshop - I have a two car garage that is filled with house overflow, my boat, a 4x4 ATV and my tools. So my "unheated" work area is smallish. I appreciate you sharing what tools are most valuable to you as well.
Thank you for sharing yourself with us. I agree with you; woodworking is the easy part, planing and setting up the shots for proper video flow in post production is probably the hardest part! My wife and I produced a 28 episode 30 minute cooking show for public TV in the early 2000’s (on tape and transitioned thankfully to digital). We each had a camera on tripods. I had the closeup and she had the wide angle which make things a lot easier to edit. I do admire your skills as your tasks were so much more demanding and you do such a great job producing your very polished videos! Please keep them coming! (If we were closer to you, I would volunteer to be your helper and learn a lot from you!)
Today I was doing something that I wasn’t filming and I was like. Why was that so easy??? 😂😂😂 there’s so much to think about while filming yourself working
You talked about struggles finding ideas. The thing I appreciate about your videos is that you use the tools you have, rather than buying a special tool for a purpose. This helps me a lot. I would love a series where you just practiced some specific woodworking skills, even on scrap wood. The fundamentals. Doesn't have to be long - spend 5 minutes telling me how you learned to make a specific joint, or whathaveyou. I am sure my suggestion isn't the greatest way to optimize for Google's algorithm, though, so I understand if it's not the best suggestion.
You're a very gifted and compelling communicator. The more I watch of your videos the more impressed I am with your skills and values. Thanks for popping the privacy bubble enough to share a bit with us. I really liked the black carcass/birch drawer fronts of your router table, so used a similar color scheme for a small shop cabinet with drawers. Many thanks for the inspiration.
Honestly it's the quality of your videos that caught my attention. It's the honesty and genuineness that made me stay. Thank you so much for being so clear about the lines you draw. You inspire me with each video.
What always struck me about you is your intelligence,you articulate yourself very well and have a very good mechanical understanding of what you do..keep going!!
It never once occurred to me that you weren't doing the work. In today's world why would anyone think that. I mean, your videos show you cutting wood, using routers, drills, doing glue ups.. etc... What the heck is wrong with people. You're awesome! Keep it up!!
I'm sure you do not remember, but I remember meeting you at WBC. I loved how humble you were about the fact you were being recognized. It was a short convo, but I really enjoyed meeting you.
Thanks Tamar. You've satisfied all my curiosities about your skills and other questions I have pondered. I am 73 and first started my woodworking as a hobby in the 80's while working as a carpenter/renovator but still consider myself a novice. I've learned from and been inspired by your videos. Watching them is like cold lemonade on a hot summer day. Keep up the good work and now maybe I'll take the leap and try making something with "draws".
518 "Subscribers"...who cares what the haters say. Have enjoyed your channel very much and have learned a lot. Your backstory (or journey) is very encouraging as well. Will miss you when you do move on but thanks so much for what you have shared thus far. Thanks to your family for also willing to share you - much appreciated (from a New Englander) :)
Have you seen those mechanical tables that you can turn and they get bigger by splitting wedges and then raising other wedges in the gaps? That'd be a slick build to see...
Cudos to you for the way you arrange your RU-vid work - both how professional your videos are made and that you keep your kids, husband and private life separated from it. I am sure a lot of us would love to see your family in the videos but I have nothing but respect for you and your decision to keep your private life private and I am certain most If not all of your followers feel the same way! Thank you for showing us and teaching us stuff in woodworking and always doing so with a smile. It is very much appreciated! Ten thumbs up! You and your family stay safe, as well as all your followers!
Don’t worry about people complaining about how you speak or say some words… be yourself, be happy… and if they don’t like it… too bad! Keep up the GREAT work!
We are not perfect. Steve Ramsey said in his 40 years of woodworking experience there is not a single of his projects which is 100% flawless. But luckily in woodworking we can fix many mistakes. BTW, this video is greatly helpful to know more about you. You are doing awesome. Keep going +1
I'm so glad you didn't change the name of your channel. It's perfect! I wish you could teach me how to build a 6-string bass guitar for my daughter. I'm a working mom with more woodworking tools than time. But I don't have a jointer, planer, or CNC.
