7 Woodworking Tips That Saved Me $$$

Описание: HEY! I'm Patrick

After a year away from woodworking, I jumped back into the shop to build a bunk bed… and instantly made some expensive mistakes. From misreading a tape measure to buying the wrong boards, I ended up wasting money I could have easily saved.

In this video I’m sharing 7 woodworking tips that saved me money (and could save you even more). These are practical, real-shop lessons: planning ahead, measuring correctly, picking better wood, salvaging old furniture, being smart about tools, reusing scraps, and avoiding cheap gear that just doesn’t last.

Whether you’re a beginner woodworker or getting back into the shop after a break, these money-saving woodworking tips will help you avoid the mistakes I just made and keep your projects affordable.
