That was great explanation

So much work, love how much care you put into the details!

Really nice explanation, thanks a lot! I have a question, that curved diamond dresser is custom made or is it saled like that?

Not a lot of instruction here.

Thank you very much that was very informative one question I'm building my own custom draw knife I'm using an old planer blade and what angle should it be at for a straight draw knife?

smaller single wheel? seriously?

Would a ceramic heating bulb work similarly?

Is there an episode showing how to make the shave horse?

Do you find going from 1k to 5k to 8k is beneficial? I think Rob Cosman goes from 1200 to 16k, but that may be purely for speed aspect. Just curious if you've noticed.

Nice example showing the smoked reed. It looks really nice. For those like me who cannot get hickory bark due to costs, this looks like a good alternative. Is that 5/8" or 3/4"?

When orienting the board for load bearing should the tangential grain be vertical (perpetual to the floor) or horizontal (parallel to the floor)for maximum strength such as in building a workbench top or chair seat?

I know you say no softwood... But would Southern Yellow Pine work in your opinion upon second thought? Its what I am leaning towards to match my workbench which is also SYP and rock hard once the pitch set.

Hi I like the lie Nielsen plane should you buy the bigger shoulder first? The medium size is good to. I like the way you show how to sharpen shoulder plane. Australia.

Great tips!

bevel down is the best in most cases. good video bud

Have you use a veritas low angle jack plane.?

I love these videos-they’re packed with so many great details. I’m not sure what you were planning to make, but it appears like a beautiful set of winding sticks! I’ve been collecting some scraps from my local maker space just so I can have practice materials. Thank you sharing these videos!

Do you use the 6 as a "wood remover" because of it's weight? A lot of people would see the Jack of the "wood remover" and the 6 as a Jointer.

But it you said OverTime 8.2. yet the thumb nail says OverTime 8.1. This makes for paying attention to detail for us infantry guys. I know that I'm an ass.

Thank you Sir.🎉

I enjoy your videos very much. Thank you! Instructional videos exist on a design spectrum, I suppose. On one end, the instructor explains everything in minute detail, and then performs the described task. If not edited well, these videos can have instructors repeating themselves, rambling onto other topics, and making the videos too long. Also,the viewer is in a more passive learning mode. On the other other end are "wordless" videos wherein the instructor teaches purely by doing. This requires the instructor to be very mindful to carefully demonstrate what, how and why something is being done. This requires the viewer to watch and learn in a more active mode. To get to the point (finally!), I did not understand the significance of the pencil-drawn layout lines, nor the significance of the caliper use. Also, I understood, later in the video, what you were feeling for when planing to the cutting gauge mark. You were feeling for that paper thin, "flap", of remaining wood to be planed. If I were a less experienced wood worker, I would have missed that teaching point. The best way to learn wood working would be to work at the bench of your retired, endlessly patient, master-craftsman grandfather. Short of that, videos like yours come in at a very strong second place. In summary, thank you for making your videos! I learn a great deal, and they are enjoyable to watch. A few well-chosen words of explanation might be of help sometimes.

Love these videos ! My go-to at the moment is an LN #5 1/2 (no camber) and a heavily cambered amazon #4 that I use as a scrub plane. Did you build that small panel gauge yourself or purchase it somewhere? Looks nice. I'm thicknessing an edge grained cutting board at the moment. Such a relaxing process.

Why switch between the jack and the low angle jack? I mean what makes the jack work better for the initial stuff?

u wanted too say Wood River right lol

I’ve just come across your site, and i found it full of great tips. For example the strength of grip taking the cut out of plumb. I made test cuts with lines and without and they were all plumb, which other sites didn’t mention. I’m now subscribed.

Hi Mark. I was a freelance cinematographer for 45 years and am now retired. I've been doing amateur woodworking for almost the same amount of time, to keep myself sane when work was slow. I moved to chair-making about 6 years ago. I've taken classes with Curtis, Elia, Jeff, and Pete. I have gotten some nice wood from Mike Elmore, who I know you know. I say all that prior to saying that you do a very fine job of covering action with a camera, especially with an iphone. And the sound is great! This content is so great, as is the presentation. Thank you so much! And thanks to Jeff, next time you speak with him.

Two good people there. Sorry Mark, we haven't met,so..lol. You weren't around when I came by at handworks. Jeff suggested i come over to try out the chairs at your booth. But, I did drop off some wax to your cohorts tho and even did an interview.

That was incredibly fascinating!

Super helpful Mark! Just now setting up a sawmill for the first time. Great info here!

Yeah, I’ve never seen anyone use a hammer for this. You can already get A LOT of fine adjustment simply by changing the way you present the tool to the surface. Hammer taps would really slow you down. The only thing that’s gonna get beat up is the top of the swing arm. Or the top of my leg vise chop when I’m at the workbench.

That is how I like to adjust my spokeshave but I am looking to an upgrade because the mouth opening is too much, I like this simple models with no adjusters though this one seems a bit delicate or fancy to tap it against a surface like that, am I wrong?

What are you using as a jig to hold the jointer blade as you sharpen? When sharpening freehand, I can’t keep the blade at a steady 45° (or 35°) angle. Great video! Thank you for your time!

Smoothing plane next ?

Really enjoying these Mark. And a cliffhanger in this one.

The teeth that you jointed flat you should have left alone you had a breasted saw plate that out performs in use I sharpen saws professionally herd in the uk

How do you know when you need to set the teeth?

Now That's what I need!! Thanks for the video, we;; done!

That was excellent

This is great. Really nice short project. Love the sound. I doubt the algorithm would like it, but I would love to see a real time version. I have two drills that have different things wrong. This is giving me inspiration to cobble together a frankendrill. Then make some file handles. Thanks Mark, inspiring stuff.

Great video. Great simple vise. Would love to see more of this style of video.

I like this. I'm doing the same on my moxin. Thanks

Fun sound work, nicely done!

That's a unique saw vice. And a skilful way of making it.

Foley work on point! Great job, Mark!

Making that 25 degree stick to set the plate angle was very clever! Always enjoy and gain a new little something from your videos.

Nice video. Thank you. What are you making?

This technique is a game changer! Thank you

Well done! Thank you.

What grit finishing stone was that? Thanks so much for the video!

Cliffhanger! Can't wait for Part 2. Thanks for putting the energy into making videos. They are much appreciated
