I've been kicking around the idea of hosting a Youtube channel from my wood shop. Which is a 10x12 foot shed on the corner of my family's land. I've built some decent furniture out of there.

I often see comments under woodworking videos, to include the New Yankee Workshop's, that read "I could do that too If I had a giant building an $30,000 worth of tools" and I have two simultaneous thoughts:

  1. It's a valid complaint; woodworking is a relatively expensive hobby to take up in both tools and materials, and by the time you feel you know enough to stand in front of a camera and talk you've probably amassed quite an arsenal, worsening that perception.

  2. I'll just bet you couldn't.
