Matthias had been a big factor getting me into woodworking. He is kind of a pioneer on YouTube for this branch. He has a very technical background, i believe he used to work at blackberry. One of the only YouTubers that designs and creates his own big tools. His videos are highly recommended when you want do learn a thing or two. Another interesting figure is Marius Hornberger.

The list of sample projects a beginner can take on is very cool and something I wish more tutorials did.

I left the city last year due to the lockdowns. One benefit is I now have a woodshop in my garage again. I have built a grandfather clock, china cabinet, and some other really cool stuff about 20 years ago. Just got my workbench built and am about to start some more fine woodworking. It is feeling like I have come full circle in life.

I did some of my own research and did decide on a cordless jigsaw for my first power saw. It's nice! But I have a very hard time making perfect cuts, even with a guide.

His opinion on miter saws is heavy-handed. I look long and hard at miter saws to cut perfect, level, 45 degree cuts because I don't have room for a full table saw.

What you want is a tracksaw. Seek reviews before choosing the brand.

Cheaper and just as good is a circular saw, a long straight edge, and a polyethylene board screwed onto the bottom of the saw.

My preferred stack is AutoCAD + a CNC router.

Having been under constant scrutiny for efficient freezer/fridge door usage as a kid... this struck home!

I especially love this post and video showing a data-driven approach to understanding just how much it costs to stand there w/ the door open while you scan (again) for food that hopefully magically appeared since the last time you checked.
