Milwaukee Tool Review M18 Table Saw/Mitre Saw/Circular Saw/Jigsaw/Drill/Impact Driver/Sander #gifted

In this week's video I am reviewing some of my Milwaukee M18 tools.  I may do a follow up on the M12 tools and some of the other hand tools and accessories if people are interested - please let me know in the comments.  The tools I am focussing on are those used for joinery/carpentry, as that is what I do for a living.

Making A Cake Stand For Our Wedding

In this video I do some wood turning at the lathe and make a cake stand for our upcoming wedding reception using some beech and salvaged mahogany.

The video that I mention by Squarepeg Tommy which inspired the spliced inlay feature : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpsCgNx9ISs

Restoring A Mid Century Modern Credenza / Sideboard

In this video I do some restoration work to a vintage teak mid century modern sideboard / credenza.  I believe it's by either Nathan or Beautility.  This piece of furniture has been in my family for decades.  I needed to refinish the veneer and solid wood areas.  The original ring handles in my opinion made it look quite dated, so I made some new hardwood handles for it which are interchangeable with the old ones to give it an updated look to better fit in a modern/contemporary home setting.

Making An MDF Gate... Yes, really!! #ad

PLEASE NOTE: It has been brought to my attention that there were a couple of mistakes made in this video due to the technical nature of the MEDITE TRICOYA EXTREME panel. 1. You must use stainless screws when in direct contact with MTX because the low levels of acetic acid in the panel will corrode metal over time.  I have since replaced the screws (see follow up video: LINK TBC)  Full usage guidelines here: https://files.mutualcdn.com/medite-smartply/files/MEDITE-TRICOYA-EXTREME-MTX-Storage-Handling-and-User-Instructions-20REV16.pdf' 2.

Making A Desk For My Fiancé #AD

In this video I'm working on a DIY custom desk project for my fiancé Ria, which will act as both a "work" desk and a dressing table all in one. Since recently becoming a permanent homeworker, Ria needed a nice desk to work from. She had quite a specific idea about what she wanted, and how it would look - and wanted to incorporate some solid wood to make it less "officey" and give it more of a homely "furniture" feel, so I used some solid beech for the frame and drawer fronts, and made the rest from Medite SMARTPLY's moisture resistant MDF. There were a few challenges along the way!

Gardening Tools - Repair & Restoration

In this video I do some garden tool restoration and repairs in order to get a set of functioning tools I can use to cut down some trees, bushes and shrubbery so that we can extend our lawn.    Featuring a pair of vintage Carl Kammerling shears, a spade / shovel, a fork plus some super hot winter gardening action!

Which Air Compressor? Comparing ABAC, Bambi, Clarke, Hyundai, Orazio, Scheppach, SIP and Swan

In this video I choose a new air compressor by comparing specs and reviews in order to determine which is best for my needs.  My critera was as follows: small in size, reliable and good quality, quiet running motor, good airflow (as high CFM as possible) and with a budget of around £250.
