You started woodworking in 2010 and already have your own school...impressive.

.

Actually there is no one in egypt teaches the worldwide techniques of woodworking
they only work with strange techniques from my way of thinking i see the techniques a little bit retarded .
there are no hobbyist woodworkers in egypt so my school helps the hobbyists .
and i consider myself quick learner and good teacher
thanks man for ur support

Welcome. Interesting looking pieces on your Facebook page!! So what is your background, what did you do before woodworking?

actually, I have a degree ( Cairo university, faculty of arts, Arabic literature and linguistics Department ) I'm a linguist , i used to teach Arabic as a foreign language, and i have my own linguistics researches, and I'm MMA trainer .

Looks like a well equipped shop. I like the looks of your pocket hole machine. For some reason I can't picture Egypt and lumber. So just what do you have to do for lumber?

actually i don't have a pocket hole machine
about lumber, egypt have some trees i'll enlist them in another post but the lumber we work with in egypt is imported mainly from europe .

Nice shop and nice projects!

Don't worry about the mess. A clean shop is an idle shop

Be sure to post lots of photos of your work.

Here's some tips, not about woodworking, however. :no:
Stop apologizing about the language, the grammar, not knowing the name, or word for things...just roll on and keep talking. We will get it eventually. :yes:

Don't move the camera so fast. Slow down everything and it will be easier to get what you are talking about. Just relax and be "charming" like an Egyptian.

Nice of you to give credit to "famous" woodworkers like Norm, Mathias, Marc etc.

We like photos of things, projects machines, jigs etc. The more photos the better and when filming video, stop and keep explaining what the camera is showing. Get someone else to operate the camera. It's too much for you to do by yourself, and you should make a "practice" video to see how it goes.

Good Luck to you with your work and with the You Tube Channel.:thumbsup:

i'll save this post on pc to keep it guiding me
thanks u r very positive
please watch my new video

I find it very interesting that you have a passion for woodworking which is so deep in your history. My wife is Egyptian she moved to the US in 2004. We got married in Egypt in 2011. I loved that the Egyptians invented dovetails, mortise an tenons, an ect.

I hope you make contacts with designers in your area. But I know the political situation is bad now. But hang in there work will come with the improvement of your skill. Good luck an my god bless you.

thanks man
