    Ep. 3: Creating More Freedom With... Woodworking?

    Todays episode involves a brief discussion about the hypocrisy from many Trump supporting conservatives, by giving an example of one of my recent interactions. This discussion was introduced by diving into the cringe of the week. The main topic we discuss, is finding and establishing the ability to create more freedom and liberty in your life through skill development, and getting your feet wet with this by learning basic woodworking. On top of why you should consider learning this particular skill, I go into an introduction on the topic by discussing how to get started. This includes the kind of tools a beginner should buy, the brand of tools to consider, what those tools do, and some good first time projects. https://www.breakingthesystems.com/ contact me at contact@btsoc.me Social media cringe of the week: I don't have the screenshot because I was apparently banned from the group (now that's funny) Products Mentioned Ridgid Hammer Drill + impact driver kit https://www.homedepot.com/p/RIDGID-18-Volt-Lithium-Ion-Cordless-Brushless-Hammer-Drill-and-Impact-Driver-2-Tool-Combo-Kit-with-2-4-0Ah-Batteries-Charger-R9205/206127587 Makita bits https://amzn.to/2Edm746 skilsaw circular saw https://amzn.to/32HhDwc skilsaw jigsaw https://amzn.to/2FLfRS3 Delta Miter Saw https://www.lowes.com/pd/DELTA-12-in-Sliding-Miter-Saw/1002669600 Komelon 25 ft Self Locking Tape Measure https://amzn.to/32OkrHX A Few Good Resources For Woodworking https://www.familyhandyman.com/list/56-brilliant-woodworking-tips-for-beginners/ https://www.finewoodworking.com/2019/07/01/basic-woodworking-beginners-intro-start-woodworking-s1ep1 https://woodsmithspirit.com/free-diy-workbench-plans/
