Patron Version Video: the Moons and Stars Plane
🕑 Added 2024-12-21 12:00:09 +0000 UTCFriends:
Many of you were at my livestream last week where I broke a wooden plane in half. The plane itself is interesting, so I made a whole video about it. Stay tuned to the end for a special message just for my Patrons.
This is also my last full video of 2024. It's been a heck of a year, and I'm very eager to go on Winter Break. While I won't be posting full videos here, we have archived enough shorts to last well into the new year and they'll be coming out (almost daily) on YouTube.
I feel like I say this every year, so I'll keep it short: thank you. This is the end of my 8th year on YouTube and it's now been 6 years since I became a full time creator. None of it would have happened without all of you. The financial support is huge and let's me ignore the (increasingly pushy) sponsors who email me every single day. We've built a great community here and now we also have the Tool Trader platform where we can exchange the tools that make our passion possible. None of it would be possible without your willingness to try new things and help me test new ideas. Patrons gave Tool Trader a much needed boost and gave me necessary feedback so it could be improved.
You can be sure that my team and I will work hard to deserve your support in the new year and beyond. Happy and Healthy Holidays to you and your families. We'll be back in the second half of January.

I'm a bit late, but thank YOU Rex, always love watching your videos. I learn something every time, they're very entertaining, and I love the positive approach you take to everything you do!
Bob Berger
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year to you, your team, and all those you love! I’m looking forward to everything you’ll do in this coming year. Stay happy and healthy, Rex.

YouTube does a terrible job announcing livestreams. I miss so many of them because of it :(
Rex Krueger
You too! I'll be here!
Rex Krueger
You're so welcome! Happy Holidays!
Rex Krueger
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Rex Krueger
Thank you! you too!
Rex Krueger
I do have a side chair project in mind
Rex Krueger
Thank you! We'll do our best to make them great!
Rex Krueger
You're so kind to say so!
Rex Krueger
You know, I made one of those at a place I used to work, but I had a bit of a cart to start from, so i kind of cheated.
Rex Krueger
Thank you! Have a great holiday!
Rex Krueger
We'll be here. Promise!
Rex Krueger
Ha! It could be. Happy Holidays@
Rex Krueger
I;m so glad we're helping you use this valuable time in your life!
Rex Krueger
You too! Thanks for your support!

It's true. I was working at a local custom shop and the foreman and I just couldn't work together. So i left. And i started this instead. Technically, it's just 2 businesses. Compass Rose is a separate company and everything else is under my content business, but i take your point. I'm the boss now and it's all with the mission of making life easier for woodworkers. I'm very fortunate that my work makes a contribution. Thanks for noticing!
Rex Krueger
I certainly learn a lot when i do these videos, so I'm glad others do too!
Rex Krueger
I'm certainly going to try. Thank you!
Rex Krueger
That's very encouraging to hear! I hope you get a little time off, too!
Rex Krueger
The leaks are fine now....but it's also not raining. Happy Holidays to you, too!!
Rex Krueger
You're very kind! I'm glad you're enjoying our work. We'll have more in the new year!
Rex Krueger
And you too! Thanks so much!
Rex Krueger
It's right there on the live tab on YouTube!

In fact, i just finished making her a 3/4 scale mallet for Christmas! Thanks for your kind words. This community means the world to me. Thanks for making it so rewarding.

I have a similar thought. How about doing a multi part video about making a wooden fore plane or even a jointer plane.
Richard C von Brecht
Your analytical skills amaze me. You’d make a great engineer. BTW even though we’ve never met face to face I consider you a friend. Your respect for your patrons is engaging. Have some great holiday time. Spend time with your daughter. She’ll hate it, she’s at that age but they grow out of it. That’s how my daughter turned out. In fact she can’t wait to get here to see us.
Richard C von Brecht
I miss it too. I know that doesn’t help with YouTube views but you hang some stuff on the end of videos for us how about some special intro’s

There was a live stream? And I missed it? sadness.

Merry Christmas and happy new year to you and your family, Rex 🤗

You're the only creator on patreon who I watch through every installment. And I'm patron to about 15 creators. Your skill at writing, making, and "figuring it out" are such a delight. Your humor, attitude, personality and sincerity make every watch a real pleasure. Thank you so much, Rex (bring back the interstitial "Rex figures it out - I really miss that!)
Matt Evans-Koch
Thank you, Rex for all of the inspiration you provided this last year. Best wishes to you and the family for a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Hope you finally get the leaks in the roof fixed. See you next year.
Westy
You have helped me grow as a woodworker, thank you! Enjoy some time "away" and Happy New Year :)
Russell Gough
You are THE BEST, Rex. Rest and relax to your heart’s content—you certainly deserve it!!

I love these sorts of furniture forensics, now tool stories. I think it's a fun way to explore older styles & techniques without actually needing to get involved in a whole build

Rex and crew, enjoy your break. As you talked about everything you have going on, I thought about something I heard about the beginning of your YouTube journey; that it started because you lost a job. That could be completely wrong, seems like I saw or heard that somewhere. So you lost your job started this and now YOU are an employer. You own and operate like four companies, your YouTube/Patreon enterprise, Compass Rose, your woodworking plans sales, and Tool Trader, and while you make a buck, you do all these things to make life easier hobbiest like me easier. That’s the American Dream in living color! I bet you are an awesome boss too. Thanks for all you do. BTW, watching started by trying to find a video to make a spokeshave. It work great. I’ve made some nice gifts for military friends. It is a pleasure to support your work.
Dave West
Thanks Rex and crew. Enjoy the holidays.
John Griswold
Well Rex, I owe a good portion of my current maker course in retirement to you, so Thank You right back! Happy Holidays;)
Bob Templeton
Merry Christmas, Rex and crew and family! Enjoy your break. This video could be the first in a series: PIMP MY TOOLS.
Marc Barash
Thanks Rex and Co. Happy Holidays and see you next year.
Rick Prosser
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Looking forward to 2025 vids.

A bar cart in wheels. Need a platform to work off on my brewing and help transfer water and store my commonly used items.
Bradley Barth
Have a good holidays! We enjoy what you do! Can't wait to see what come next!
