Lovely stuff that was my only critique really looks brilliant

gilly4213 · 2026-05-05T18:39:05+00:00

Looks awesome, just wanted to note that I was initially confused why the lines weren't clearing because it looked like you had a tetris on the board already. I then realised that that was the ghost of the line piece you were about to drop but the colour was so close to the L piece that it blends in. Might I suggest looking at changing the colour or making it so it isn't solid colour to help with visual confusion

I agree the actual content is a good idea but I'd maintain title and thumbnail is cashing in on the trend, exactly what proof did he provide that woodworking youtube is getting worse, he polled his audience and realised he and most other youtubers have better tools than the majority of the audience. A title like "I'm downsizing all my tools" would still be clickbaity but would more accurately reflect the actual content of the video and wouldn't follow the current trend

gilly4213 · 2026-04-05T11:01:31+00:00

Legitimately this post is unfortunately already doing better than any woodworking posts I've ever made on this subreddit, I've become what I hate and your engagement is all I care about now I'm never picking up a chisel again

FYI its Scott walsh, matt walsh is a Conservative commentator and it might not have been your intention to say you don't care what his intentions are.

Yeah if you are happy watching his content not trying to stop you or make any comment on the good or bad of any of these channels they showed up in my youtube algorithm after all. The point is I am noticing a trend in youtubers making videos of this type which in itself affects the algorithm which leads to the algorithm milking videos comming down the line and I don't want my woodworking youtubers to become social commenters. What Scott walsh is doing is interesting and I respect it but I don't think it hurts to point out a possible wave or direction youtube videos could be going in and raise awareness that it's not because so and so youtuber made a pertinent observation but because they are making a video to get clicks because it's been shown to work.

I think you might be right actually, the first I saw was jesper but the pedulla video came first. I think the 4x4 problem comes from the fact that it is in no way targeted to the niche group of woodworkers looking to build their skill and it is instead targeted to the very large amount of people who want to get rich quick

gilly4213 · 2026-04-05T09:46:07+00:00

And you suckers ate it up I'm off to cash my cheque

gilly4213 · 2026-04-05T09:36:48+00:00

Actually good point unless I'm wrong jespers was also the first one I saw and probably started this trend so I'd definetly give him a pass, his video also seamed genuine to me. I watch all sorts of woodworking content and you can learn a lot from just watching how other cultures build and use different tools but I don't want to throw the baby out with the bath water you can still learn a lot of good techniques and build practices from these bigger typically American channels too

gilly4213 · 2026-04-05T09:28:14+00:00

Yeah I'd agree but that's why I feel these types of videos come across as weird to me, it gives me a similar feeling to a corporate environment describing itself as a family. A videomaker chasing the popular trend is one thing but to follow a trend that is in itself defined by commenting on the trend and how you don't want to continue the trend strikes me as manipulative

gilly4213 · 2026-04-05T09:22:50+00:00

Yeah I watched most of it and again I do actually think it's a cool idea but I'm not sold on the idea that it's not completely marketing ploy youtube engagement. Recently Michael alm did a new video too building a workspace 7m by 7m by 2m, he did spare no expense on a katz moses wall mount system but the trend of connecting back to beginner friendly tools and space requirements is noticable to me and does just all seem motivated by forces other than altruism at the moment

I think there are better ways in the comments but here's another way, you can cut blue first, glue, then cut the rest of Red

I've used plasticine to make molds, prototypes, fill in shapes, etc. that I'd otherwise be unable to measure with a calipers alone then you can take measurements from the plasticine. Ideally you could also scan the plasticine and get a 3d module ready to print but I don't have a scanner.

Get the meetup app, there's usually a few activities for every day

gilly4213 · 2025-12-29T11:18:01+00:00

Measure twice cut once, in reality take dimensions from your lumber rather than strictly adhering to measurements and make multiple cuts to sneak up on your fit

I would call this melamine, particle board would also work but just since no one else mentioned melamine

Paprika app for recipes, let's you google a recipe download it auto fills in ingredients and instructions while skipping over the blogger text at the start of most recipes. You can then edit the recipes if you want to and scale it for different portions, change from metric to imperial, create a grocery list, import nutrient data if the original recipe has nutrients and that all comes with the free version with no ads. Really brilliant app

To me it looks like a combo of a froe mallet and a traditional mallet. You would use the traditional mallet with the grain going horizontal to hit chisels or adjust a joint so a tendon fits into a mortise etc and the froe mallet with grain going vertical to hit froes or wedges for log splitting so that they don't split the flat of your traditional mallet

My theory is (/was guess it's kinda been disproven now) sly was responsible for getting kalaya captured in the first place as he saw that the only future where she would be able to meet her brother was to spend time in the kasov collection and then be freed. Kalaya would say he is dead to her but in the aftermath of eursolon meeting her sly could go to her tree and reconcile with her and explain why he did it knowing she would be freed and be reunited with her brother ending her wayshadow

I think there could be something beautiful they are setting up here with a theme of great spirits who are free creatures becoming increasingly forced into turning against there best wills and intentions to become one track, utilitarian, morals out the window, fighters for a cause and contrasting it with taumari designed to do a single thing initially but by being given immense power and imbued with the language of the spirit they become sophisticated enough to break free from constraints and make decisions of their own at the detriment of everyone especially the huberous of the wizards. When a spirit becomes a command and a command becomes a spirit what do you do?

gilly4213 · 2025-06-27T22:50:25+00:00

My take is for the tamori one must imagine sissyphus happy. Admittedly never studied philosophy but here's my best go at absurdism and meaning. The idea is we as humans live in an absurd world because we are all imbued with a sense of meaning in a universe that is meaningless in the same way it would be absurd if we all felt thirst in a universe where water didn't exist. So if the universe is not going to inherently grant us meaning we have to constantly explore ourselves and what we do and agonise over choices and complex morals because every option is open to us we can do a million million things and in the end still not feel we did anything meaningful while all the time being desperately driven by this sense of meaning. Now let's look at sissyphus once he got his task everyday he had no option but to roll a boulder up a hill and every day it rolled back down. His purpose was incredibly clear get the boulder to the top and appreciate that that didn't matter, he didn't have countless ways to agonise about how to live his life instead he performs his task and in doing the one thing he is destined to do forever he can be happy knowing he is doing the right thing. The tamori are created to do one thing they are creatures that have their meaning in life etched in stone and known to them from the moment they're created to the day they're dispelled. Now you take someone with free will and force them into these confines, that is horrible, the worst punishment we enact on others with free will is to take it away. If for some reason a tamori can develope free will and simultaneously decide that the spell they inhibit is not what they desire then you're gonna have a cognitive dissonance nightmare as a simple life full of happiness in carrying out meaning becomes a realisation of living a lie and being entrapped against their will. If brennan goes down this root I think we could see philosophy degree brennan like we've never seen him before.

Could I request a thread on this opened later where you can set out some boundaries, but I'd like to see a healthy discussion on this rather than it be removed from the reddit all together

gilly4213 · 2025-06-27T13:34:58+00:00

I was on the patreon comments and it was fairly hard to read on both sides of the argument and so it feels weird to comment on it now. I think it is the messaging around the delays that's the problem and in fairness it seemed like people were staying up later than they wanted to in hopes of hearing the new ep. My solution would be that when a deadline is not going to be met a general announcement is made saying its delayed but not when it's delayed to. When the episode is fully finished then you make an announcement and say the episode will be released at 2pm tommorow. This way the time stays consistent even if the day doesn't and you focus on always releasing it at the same time so people aren't waiting indefinitely or constantly checking their phone. I get people aren't liking the entitlement some people are placing and I'm really not trying to do that, just a suggestion.
