This is excellent. I suspect a great deal of work went into condensing this information into such a compact format. Thank you.

Is there a link to orthopedic techniques for lower leg surgical repairs? It is a persistent fallacy (probably of Amish origins) that hewing logs is done by standing on, straddling or standing alongside the log. I top hew logs and, other than the dry rotted handle that almost dropped the axe head on MY head, it's a much safer and less tiring way to hew timbers.

Great video, and I’m liking those high wasted men’s work pants. Do tell where you got them. So hard to find something like that.

Missed it… but I saw it in real with you!

Mike really changed!😊

M&T is back!

One day, I'll be able to do this, wonderful.

Thank you for your explanation, mate!

This sounds a lot like what got me in to woodworking: Roy Underhill's shaving horse!?

This was such an encouraging video! Thank you! I get discouraged because when I do get the time to spend the day , I’m lost as to what to do. I’ll try to do a bit everyday, if I’m clueless or overwhelmed, I’ll just sharpen or plane something. It’s helped my planing skills !

If you’re Amish this is a good video.

"6 teeth per inch, enough to cut any log"

Appreciate the content,personally I beleave in a 3 saw system,a rip cut and a crosscut ,and of course the coping saw,especially for someone starting of there's prity much no limitations if you have these 3,thanks for the video and peace be with you ✌️

But what about a coping saw

I am finding that the more I restore planes the more i want to sell my metal planes and replace them with wooden ones.

Great video. Simple, yet explains it all. Thanks.

This is my kind of fore plane. Nothing like the feel and smell of fresh wood

I have a mix of new and vintage handtools. Having some of the new ones helped me learn to evaluate the vintage ones and only acquire tools that could be fully restored and made to work.

I love that you guys are out there doing this work and sharing it with us. Thank you! I really appreciate it.

I heard of hognose bits, spoon bits & the batwing bits. I've never heard of shell bits. Thanks for the short video.

Cause the spoon has a bowl there. English is weird.

Amen!

I’m 54 and I took up woodworking two years ago, purely for a hobby and I’m loving it 😊

People complain about rip sawing...how about resawing for bookmatched grain? That's a feat!

Smort

I have some bits which are like shell bits but twisted. The twist then forms a something similar to the snail screw at the tip similar to an auger. Anybody know what they are? Cheers

Handle broke ✅ Blade broke✅ Buy saw✅ Make new handle and blade ✅ New saw ✅

Yeah that Sloyd article was great....all the issues are great. Love what y'all are doing....Thanks for doing it

Please make another video reminder 🙏 before so us tired blue collar boys can watch 😅. Where are you guys out of?

As for the thumbhole, I'm a 40s age aspiring carpenter from the south and I work for grumpy old schooler work heads and we still use ALOT of hand tools. That bein said that makes sense if your lets say up high using that cross cut thumb hole to match purlins or a lookout that isn't in the same length. Jus spit ballin on why diston would do that, jus thinking potentially poorly 😅

Your content is such a high quality. And you very specifically explain how to do certain things in carpentry. You definitely deserve more followers. I’ll be sharing your channel with everyone I know. Thank you.

Noice

Always repair never replace...

Enjoyed video like the way yo explain the process

What’s the reason for avoiding the bed? Should one avoid oiling the bed as well?

Minimalistic Woodworking has a charm of its own. We all resent those folks who can afford to buy whatever they want but in truth, they are often miserable personalities not worthy of emulation……

The “opposite Corn Exchange” imprint on the plane was a “find us” reference for the old tyme shop which made that plow plane. Everyone would have known where the Corn Exchange was located.

AHH stupidly I thought the apprenticeship series was to go alongside an online apprenticeship 😅

I realized you said to file each tooth, but doesn’t the saw have the teeth file alternately?

When you have spent a few years woodworking, you inevitably end up with a lot of chisels. I also thoroughly enjoy restoring all types of woodworking tools so have amassed quite a collection over the years. I find that those I use the most gravitate to the bench rack and the remainder end up stored in drawers waiting for their day in the sun.

Chris Pontius really turned his life around.

I have a big round mallet, rough turned from a dried out holly log absolutely full of knots. It weighs about 5 pounds, though it has shed weight over five or six years of pretty heavy usage. In the UK these one piece mallets are called 'Beetles'. If it is made from two pieces, i.e head and handle, it is a called a mallet

Beatifull sunny workshop👍

Good morning great video again love all your videos, but have a question, so if you had to to split 1” thick board and 12” wide would you use the rip saw or a frame saw I have a shop about 14’x 20’ and just removing the machine to sell cause going back to traditional woodworking I have a frame saw kit but I have make the wooden parts I got it from Blackburn tools. Thanks

The rule of thumb used by First Nations peoples around the globe is never take more than 1/3 of the circumference of the tree, and it should heal and remain growing.

Thank you so much! For decades I’ve been attempting to use a smoothing plane for the wrong job. I wish I had known about fore planes sooner. I have seen them many times at flea markets but always passed them up assuming that the wood body was a disadvantage, opting instead for a Stanley #4. BTW for next time, it would have been helpful to hear a few words from you about the distinction from a try plane. Thanks!

Great video 👍 I have a question about my wooden body jointer plane, its 28” and has an iron without a chip breaker, there's no signs that it has ever had one. There's no notch in the plane etc. Is this normal for a certain year? Thanks

Wow. Rex Krueger sent us over here from his shavehorse video, and boy am I glad he did!! Liked and subscribed! This is brilliant!!

.One thing I would recommend if you are just getting into repairing and sharpening saws is to buy a few 'beaters' in poor condition for a dollar or less at yard or car boot sales and just start trying out some of the cleaning straightening and sharpening techniques you see on this and other good channels. If you mess up at first, no matter. Just joint it straight and start again till you get the hang of it. Completely re-cutting new teeth on a saw is not learned in 5 minutes. Far better to practice and learn on cheap saws than ending up feeling bad because you messed up an expensive buy, or worse, a family heirloom. One thing this will quickly teach you is that even rusty wrecks can often be brought back to excellent cutting condition, even if the blade stills looks a bit pitted and ugly.

A little tip learned from my grandfather some 60 years ago. If your tenon saw needs a little lubrication, just wipe the blade [both sides] over your head. There is sufficient natural hair oil to lubricate the blade in a couple of seconds, and its back to work. No kidding, give it a try, and you will see for yourself. btw... I have done this all my life and I still have a full head of hair ... but I also have a steady hand ;<)
