The Olson Outfit

Wood working, DIY, homesteading, hiking, camping and shopping for purses. I AM ALL THAT IS MAN.... wait umm, uhhh, errrr.....

This channel's purpose is to spread knowledge. I focus on hand tool wood working. But I occasionally throw in some videos about camping, hiking, backpacking, automotive repairs, gardening, homesteading, tool maintenance and more.

Common topics discussed on this channel are:

Marking Knives

Joinery to include:

- dovetails (sliding, half blind, tapered, or otherwise)

- mortise and tenon (including drawbore)

- half-lap

- box joints or finger joints ( I love these)

- rabbets, rebates, and dados

Some power tool use

Hand Planes

Shooting Boards

Saws

Sharpening

I also offer project videos for the DIY -er. From my popular "viking" chair to an easy bookcase and more. I can help teach you how to build with your own two hands. I even sell plans.
