This diy bunkbed makes things way more fun than a normal bunkbed because it's got a slide and a play fort on top! I built this almost all out of construction lumber with some plywood. ➤Website (Get Plans & Merch) https://www.eveningwoodworker.com Tools used in my shop: Ridgid Spindle Sander: https://homedepot.sjv.io/vd1Ej Ridgid Router 2.5hp https://homedepot.sjv.io/MeoRo Husky 30gal Air Compressor: https://homedepot.sjv.io/mdro1 Dewalt 13in Thickness Planer: https://homedepot.sjv.io/LkoRY Worksharp 3000: https://amzn.to/2UM88qs Dewalt 12" Sliding Compound Miter Saw: https://amzn.to/2UWVRiR Jet Jointer JJ-6CSX: https://amzn.to/2UwVywd Jet Mortiser: https://amzn.to/2QXtFLA Dewalt 20V Drill Driver Combo: https://amzn.to/2JBEwXy Dewalt Random Orbital Sander: https://amzn.to/2R5qP7t Hegner Multi Max 18 Scroll Saw: https://amzn.to/34hF5iV Portable Belt Sander: https://homedepot.sjv.io/XBEK3 2hp Dust Collector: https://amzn.to/2VbkKHV Workshop Vac: https://amzn.to/3bF7ul6 Polyurethane mallet: https://amzn.to/3bVgl2z Ridgid 12V Drill Driver Combo: https://homedepot.sjv.io/7gKK5 Hudson Shop Apron: https://amzn.to/2R5oSIb Also check out my social media pages: https://www.facebook.com/eveningwoodworker/ https://www.instagram.com/eveningwoodworker/ I am an engineer by day and a woodworker by night... usually after the kids are in bed and before the neighbors call the cops!

Use your bandsaw to duplicate pieces with a couple pieces of blue tape! This is way easier than trying to trace a pattern and cut each one out individually.

In this video, we're going to take a look at the Laguna 14BX bandsaw and see if it's really that different from an old bandsaw. We'll compare the performance and features of the Laguna 14BX bandsaw and my old bandsaw and see if there is really a noticeable difference. We'll also look at some of the pros and cons of the Laguna 14BX bandsaw and see if it's worth the upgrade cost.

Miter saws don't need their blades changed very often, but when you lose one of the teeth on your blade, it's time! Remember that typically more teeth are better on a miter saw so an 80 tooth blade will leave a better cut than a 40 tooth blade. #mitersaw #woodworking #blade #eveningwoodworker

This is my ship's wheel design for our indoor treehouse. It's been a great addition to the treehouse and has given the kids another interactive part to play with. This was only made from branches/logs and screws. With the right tools, and some finessing, you can make a ship's wheel like this and have a blast pretending to be a pirate!

If you're a beginning woodworker and wondering what tools to get, this video will show you the first woodworking tools you should be looking for. I also explain what you're going to do with those tools and what to do if you have all of the beginner tools and are ready for the next step. The brand is less important especially at the beginning when you are learning and gaining skills; you can get more brand specific later on. Also, you don't have to buy the power tools new; used tools often work just as well... as long as they are functional! Note: These are recommendations are for power tools only. Hand tools are another category entirely. 00:00 Intro 01:04 Basic Woodworking Operations 02:24 Circular Saw 03:36 Miter Saw 04:39 Jigsaw 05:25 Drill Driver 06:58 Random Orbital Sander 07:52 Shop Vac 08:24 Palm Router 09:19 Level UP Tools BEGINNING TOOLS: 7 1/4" Circular Saw: https://amzn.to/3d2zyl0 12" Sliding Compound Miter Saw: https://amzn.to/2UWVRiR 20V Drill: https://amzn.to/2NNFEgi Jigsaw: https://amzn.to/3dnxsft Shop Vac: https://amzn.to/3bF7ul6 Random Orbital Sander: https://amzn.to/2R5qP7t Palm Router: https://amzn.to/2P3rCb7 INTERMEDIATE TOOLS: 2hp Dust Collector: https://amzn.to/2VbkKHV Belt/Spindle Sander: https://homedepot.sjv.io/vd1Ej 14" Bandsaw: https://homedepot.sjv.io/5bbrN3 10" Tablesaw: https://homedepot.sjv.io/9WWkYj Drill Press: https://homedepot.sjv.io/QOODQM Router Table: Router- https://homedepot.sjv.io/P00xDX Table- https://homedepot.sjv.io/e44zWD Also check out my social media pages: https://www.facebook.com/eveningwoodworker/ https://www.instagram.com/eveningwoodworker/ Website: https://www.eveningwoodworker.com/ I am an engineer by day and a woodworker by night... usually after the kids are in bed and before the neighbors call the cops!
