1) wisdom with age…the workshop is my place of many thoughts too. Great thoughts. 2) excellent content. How would these disks work (but smaller) as “maker marks” on things you make or have made? (E.g embed a smaller one on the kerfing plane, or on bottom of the box you made instead of using a hot stamp?…just a thought…

Good message. Thanks

You should have been a philosopher! 😃👍🏻

Cool, looks like your own Ezra battalion challenge coin

Not too late, I started CNC work just over 3 years ago at age 62, its my retirement therapy. Loving every minute of it, designing using all the art work that I never learned at school !

Oh, one other thing. If you take a piece of PVC pipe and glue one end cap on, then glue on a threaded end cap on the other end where you can put a removable plug, you can put in your bigger 1.5 and up as bid as you want, I guess, and soak your billet for at least a week but 2-3 is better in mineral oil. It makes cutting the threads so much better. Smooth as glass and almost zero tear out. And it kind of swells the wood, like boat builders did back in the day, and condenses the wood too. Results are AMAZING and the difference is TRUELY AMAZING.

Neat. Should the fence be on the other side so you can push with your right hand?

9:25 if only you had a rabbet plane...

Good job

nice visual style. realy something else. i enjoyed every part of your build/video.

Great video but I could do without the music, I like it when there is just the ambient sound

good tip with the lateral adjuster, works the same with sharpening, doesn't have to be 90 degrees exactly because, you have a lateral adjuster

Just what you need for drawer bottoms! I like the shooting board.

Nice work! Inspiring. Great video.

Great job

Awesome as usual!!!

I can't believe that the people at yt did not push this my way. Nice plane.

Prevod

Very nice!ly done Never seen that. Skill is incremental, the important thing is to start the journey, observe and listen, except for few skilled trades there are no formal apprenticeship programs today, and if you step out of your specialty you are starting at the bottom again . For many people a KZbin video is the first introduction to a whole new world, thank you for posting this.

I'm groovin on your shop!

Love the format. Great work.

Cool format with good editing

I haven't tried it out yet, but you can also use gelatine, salt, and water. Chris Schwarz has the recipe in his book American Peasant. He has it as a free read on his website. Now I have 2 glues to try! In your experience, what is the cure time for rice glue?

Thunder Cats, HOOOO!

Really nice work! You’re not alone in liking pine, btw. It’s one of America’s most popular and traditional woods. And just a quick note… when you resawed those flat sawn planks, they looked like quarter sawn because they ARE quarter sawn! Great idea. I’ve got some 8/4 Eastern white pine rough lumber that I am going to turn into toy boxes for my grandkids, I’m going to try this “trick” of yours to make the panels I’ll build them from!

Thank you, THANK you, THANK YOU! For not subjecting us to the sound of the planer! The only thing worse is when they speed up the video and the pitch gets even more annoying. Nice to see the work you are doing in a small space and your incorporation of the hand tools.

Nice job and a good workout

The number of people who feel the need to tell others how to live their lives and use their tool discusts me. If you don't like how he is using his tools because you think it is unsafe or damages them the solution is simple, DON'T WATCH!!!

Thank you for this video.

It’s good to see people making with old fashioned hand tools 😊

Hmm…you could try the kerfing plane to cut the top off. I’ve been thinking about making one just to do that job.

15:32 I’d be terrified cutting a box open by hand, potentially ruining all the work I’ve done to get to that point. Here’s how I would do it: get a saw blade and sandwich it between two flat and straight pieces of wood. Put the box upside down on the flattest surface you have and run the saw sandwich against it. Should result in a very straight cut. Or you could even just clamp your saw flat onto a surface with a piece of wood under it and run the box against it.

Good job! Very pleasant to watch. You need better lights to improve the quality of your videos.

I recently did this with some not very good cypress that a family had bought for me to make them a kitchen table. They liked the result very much-I intertwined a few narrow strips of mahogany to make it look like it was all as intended.

Great video. Newbie qn: why go to all trouble removing so much material to make that hook. Why not just glue/squarea small piece on either side of a sqaured up base?

How well do the glued miters hold up? I've seen you make a couple boxes this way. Thanks.

Was that it! That cam and went quicker than me!

Very cool

Do you use a Japanese square?

Thank you! That would be a good way to make kumiko strips from a thin board without waste

Have you got a blade in there instead of a marking pin?

Thank you - that's useful.

Beautiful work, beautiful video. Your son has a gifted dad!

Awesome! And thanks muchly for showing how to hand surface the lumber!

What size pilot hole is for 1/2 and 3/4 wood tap

Very cool 👍🏼💯

Was it cataracts?

The first tool I use when selecting wood like this is a draw knife. Save the plan for when you are close to the line.
