Half of the video we watch you spin the screws very interesting

Wow.... It just amazes me at the amount of patience you display in doing this type of work !

Or you can invest in a set of carvers slip stones that are curved and tapered and designed to hone gouges. A flat bench hone like this is designed for flat chisels and plane irons Here are a few tips to prevent dulling your tools if dropped to the floor One is to pick up several vinyl backed carpet tiles that are 24"×24" and lay them on the floor in front of your work bench Next , you could purchase enough interlocking anti - fatigue mats and put them in place Lastly, you could lay down a 4x8 sheet of 3/4" OSB board that you have beveled the edges. You can also get a leather disk that is mounted on a buffer or grinder that is made to strop gouges

What sizes of wood did you use??

So I think you can use this pattern and adjust the size to your desire, correct? I'd like one large enough to store two garbage bags, give or take one for weekly garbage pick up. I think this is the perfect style for my needs-fancy and functional 😊 Thanks so much!

They always land on the edge. There are only a few solutions to this: 1: drill a hole at the end of the handle and fill it with molten lead, so the chisel will land on it´s handle like a cat lands on it´s feet. I haven´t tried this but it sounds logical. 2: Install a wooden floor, so the edge won´t get damaged. I haven´t tried this but it sounds logical 3: Don´t clean and let the shavings pile up. Works for me.

Nice one John, that looked particularly tricky but it turned out well

Really enjoyed the video, great carving, I am goin to have a go at something similar. Keep the videos flowing mate 👍

Every channel that op wears gloves needlessly isn’t worth watch Bye

Excellent video as always. Simple and useful trunk for storage. Keep up the good work.

Those bullnoses are simply awful. PSellers explains the mechanics why they are awful. I only learned that, after purchasing mine, restoring it excitedly and being dejected by its abysmal performance.

Great video as always. Simple and effective explanation. I have got to get round to sharpening my card scrapers.

Very good video as always. A different style of plane that I have never seen before. Keep up the good work.

Great vid keep em cumin

Superbe travail! Je commence à me lancer mais je suis horriblement nul 😢😢 la bise de France

Finally, a woodworker for the rest of us, He's succinct without showing off his million-dollar woodworking shop in the background. He's like the millions of weekend woodworkers out here not like the slick pros making these type of videos. His videos are simple without the endless chatter, to the point, and he uses tools like most of us have probably from Harbor Freight. Keep-um-coming dude, love your style.

suspect its beach wood

back again like renegade master

Oh, that sort of plane. I was expecting the flying type. 😆

Oh, I love this. Perfect for my books. Thank you!

interesting video, and very well put together!!

Good to see you back

Good simple planter!

All Hail. Good to see you John 👍

the king has returned

Good to see you back On here John. 👍

He's back!!! Yay

and what a jolly lovely planter it is! I look forward to the future cooking video spawned from those peppers

Can i use a whetstone

I feel your pain! I recently dropped my 4mm V-gouge point down on my concrete garage floor...unfortunately resharpening will not bring it back. But hey, misery loves company, so thanks for the camaraderie.

Carving requires patience which I’m willing to develop. You showed some really good tips on sharpening and chiseling. Thanks!

Clever design. Thanks for sharing.

What was the second tool you used, after drilling the hole?

Nice build, I've also struggled to secure my carvings (I always decide I want to remove more from the inside of bowls after I've carved the outside into impossible to clamp shapes) so I'll definitely make one of these! Clamping a sheet of scrap plywood underneath before drilling would've reduced all that tearout, but like you said, it's not fine furinture so it's fit for purpose. Re being too light, could you add a plywood sheet under the base and then place some heavy weights onto it to stop it moving. I'm enjoying your video style, nice easy pace and you don't get stressed if things don't go as well as you'd hoped, which is a great approach! 🙂 And hooray, your workshop is almost as messy as mine! (I'm deluding myself, mine is an absolute pit!)

As you concluded pretty quickly pine is not an easy wood to whittle! It's easy to be misled by the 'softwood' description... but the growth rings are actually quite hard, and if it had a high sap content when cut and dried it can be downright gnarly!! And then the softer wood between the growth rings just loves to split out. Yup, it's no easy job to carve anything decent with it, so hats off to you my friend. Out of interest how often were you stropping your blades, those hard growth ring will dull an edge really quickly so I'd expect to need to strop about every five minutes... basically as soon as you're needing to use force it's time to strop again. I'd also expect to re hone with a very fine diamond stone about every half hour... fun eh? That said, whittling is a wonderful pastime so 'have at it' and enjoy! Last year the gardeners where I work (in Hampshire) cut back a lot of laurel, and though I'd read that it's really hard to work I took an offcut and made a few experimental cuts... while it's still green it's a lovely wood to carve. It has virtually no grain, it's dense enough to hold very sharp fine detail (much better than basswood) and it just doesn't seem to split. It's a bit boring in appearance being a very uniform cream colour, but it gives a smooth buttery finish right from the (sharp) blade and looks good after an oil and polish. Long story short(ish) I whiled away many contented lunchtimes carving a very fancy intricate spoon. It isn't the softest wood to work, but if you maintain a really sharp edge you'll get great results. And because it's got such a dense structure it doesn't seem to warp or split as it dries out. The offcuts I took have seasoned since, it's really hard now and though it would probably take incredibly sharp detail, I don't fancy how sore my hands would get from the force required. I foolishly carved some kiln dried oak a few years back, which was when I learned the importance of constant stropping... on that project I literally spent more time honing than I spent carving. I've also whittled green poplar, it can be a bit wet and stringy immediately after felling, but after a few days it's lovely to work with, give it a try and you'll see why I stay away from pine these days (basically because I'm spoilt for choice). 🙂

You carve awesome

Красивая работа👍❗️🔥

Kia Ora & Good Morning from Auckland, New Zealand ...great video bro ...

Thanks for the share, enjoyed your humour!

Its a good starter bird table project!!!! The few things i would consider most are as follows first make shure you have a good overhang on the roof panels otherwise rain water will drain straight onto the feed platform!! Second the height of the uprights supporting the roof maybe a tag to high, Which if you dont mind will attract all the birds in your area including Pigeons, Magpies,Crows,Jackdaws!! Inturn they alone will clear the bird table in a matter of minutes, Leaving small birds Robins, Blue tits, Blackbirds, ect to go hungry though the winter months,And lastly your base of the feeder? Will it be standing on the bare ground or on solid stone!! Either way it needs extra long pegs for stability in high winds!!! I have found its the base that rot's first!! Anyways thanks for sharing your build welldone😍🇬🇧👍

Are diamond stones only meant to be used with water?

I will be copying this at the weekend! Thanks very much for the idea. I cant wait to see the fat sods face when he cant get the seed 😂

Well, I really wanted to watch this video. But that horrible "music" loop made it unbearable. Believe me friend, it is NOT an enhancement to your content.

This is very helpful! I just ordered what I thought was a nice set of tools, they all came without a sharpened edge… so I’ll be doing this for a while!

Thank you. Well done clamps

Smart

You ended up with a very nice carving. Well done !

First few times I sharpened a gouge, it was using back & forth passes on the stone in the direction of the cut while slowly tilting the blade from corner to corner... I should've started doing the rocking lateral strokes shown in the video way sooner. Looks like it'd be way easier to keep a consistent-ish angle that way. Also, those cuts at the end, so satisfying to see those clean chips pop out like pats of warm butter!

God bless you bro

Thanks for the tutorial video.
