Wish I had space for something like this, my screw boxes are stored on the floor under my workbench in that small gap lol

It's difficult at times to find spaces to store items but that only means more space is clear to buy more things. A vicious cycle lol

Nice frankenshelf ild be tempted to put staples on the joins to look like stitches
@stuffbyneilsmith27 күн бұрын
That's a great idea, I do happen to have a staple gun as well so I might just 'amend' it.

Definitely tool. A scribing tool or device.

I can't recall anything i've made where i did not used a pencil, it's probably the most used tool, we just don't think about it

I was expecting someone somewhere to claim it wasn't a tool. Just glad people agree with me
@jackcorrigan8814Ай бұрын
100% agree with you on the humble pencil mate. I've never gone too far wrong following Paul Sellers' advice; Square your stock, accurately measure, mark with the marking knife, and go over the knife-line with the pencil denoting which side to cut. if you take the pencil away there's a lot more mistakes!
@stuffbyneilsmithАй бұрын
Admittedly I've never used the mark with a marking knife and then go over with the pencil method. I've seen it used before and I have been meaning to start using it for the even more accurate markings/cuts

Just watched your second video and realised who you are! It was great to meet you Neil and I hope you enjoyed your weekend. Matt’s demo looked fantastic and he is such a great guy. Take care and my very best wishes, Leo 👍

Myself and Matt did set the world record for the slowest mortice and tenon joint, only took about 2hrs 30mins, it was one of my best weekends

I told Matt and Rob afterwards that I had rehearsed what I was going to say about the website for about 3 weeks in my head. Rob's response was perfect

Not bad for a first. May be helpful down the road to explain techniques (I.E. tool control, etc.) and perhaps you'll eventually do a piece on how you hold down your work securely, if you get it figured out.. :)
@stuffbyneilsmith4 ай бұрын
Thanks for your comment Brian, I was thinking sometime down the line to do a video that's broken into down into different parts, to almost become a series, showing the techniques I use or I'm learning in more detail.

Well done making your first video and first piece of carving! That's a lot of material to hog out by hand and especially well done for not accidentally removing a big chip from your valknut. I'm sure you're style will develop with time but one suggestion, please normalise the sound levels a bit, I have to turn it right up to hear you speak then a few seconds later when the music kicks in my children are asking me to turn it down... I do like your music choice though :) I liked a piece of advice Jimmy DiResta gave, trust your viewer, show them something once then trust they can assume you've used the same technique to finish the next steps. (might be slightly paraphrased)
@stuffbyneilsmith4 ай бұрын
Cheers Tom, yeah the sound thing is something I definitely need to work on, I'll need to find that happy medium of volume from speech, which at time I do talk quietly to letting the music rock on.

First off - KUDOS - you’ve dive j to the deep end and come up first another go. Carry on. B) The Val Knut came out quite well, as noted above well done to not split off a chunk. 3) Audio levels also as noted. You got better in the last 3rd, but I believe that was due to speaking louder rather than improved levels balance between clips. Steady on, the outlook is for clear skies and following seas.

I have to admit the sound was all voice over and never recorded with the software I have. I'll have to do some tests and trials.
