I really enjoyed the experimental presentation of this project. For my ears, the 1/2 bore sounds better than the 5/8 bore. Great demo: I'll try doing one for my turning club.

I noticed it was kinda difficult to remove the mortiser; mine responded to a waxing quite well.

Good idea , marking the exact position in the lathe, for remounting. A hard lesson for me.

I am just starting out to make wooden automata and toys. What are the power tools I must have - like a scroll saw, belt sander, drill jig, table saw etc. to start with. Should I buy the cheaper equipment from Harbor Freight or more expensive online or Home Depot? I need your advice. Thanks.

Wonderful Rick. How can I get the template pdf?

Thanks nice review. Just picked up one used in good shape for 50$

Thanks for showing us rick gonna have a go at this when the weather starts behaving ,or to put it bluntly ,when the government's stop messing with the weather with its GEO Engineering programmes , if your not convinced check out The Dimming documentary by Dane Wigginton . anyway yep lovely project just need to tap some nice clean wood off my Joiner buddy . Greetings from Wet soggy Damp Wales UK .

Great work !!!!

Wondered where you were going with the two pieces on the lathe ,Excellent ,one of these is on my to dooo list but its long lol . Ive liked and subd you Greetings from Wales UK .

Thank you for this tutorial. My husband brought me this exact saw for Christmas yesterday, and we couldn’t figure out where some of the pieces went because the directions did not include them.

I love the simplicity and the classic look. Just what I need to build for my daughter.

Thank you! Laura Ingalls Wilder talked about a similar toy in her book The Long Winter, and I just couldn’t get a real image in my mind of what the toy would have looked like in action. Now it’s clearer!

There is a much easier trick to sanding the end and keeping it round. If you leave a little end of wood on the back. You can chuck it in a drill and use that on a piece of flat sandpaper. Go a little slow, but it will keep it round.

Love what you did! Admire what you do and want to do same. What is the green spinning holder called and where can I buy this? Thanks for sharing your gift!

Super useful…love the artistic and useful end product. Love your workshop. What is the tool with the reciprocating saw blade and stand you used for cutting the wood near the beginning of video if I want to purchase similar?

VERY nice!!! I have 6 grandsons and I want to make one for each!!! Gotta find those plans!!! Going to Texas to see them all for Christmas...

can you change the key by adjusting the 4th hole ?

E lindo demais eu quero fazer com papelão

If you wanted this to be a dead blow mallet you could fill the fitting 1/2 full of bbs?

Very clever

What is the matter with the free-speech nazis of KZbin?

Nydelig arbeid

Great video, Rick! Really enjoyed watching your entire process and learning from you as you shared what you learnt along the way. Looking forward to creating my own version of this as soon. Thank you and all the best!

Thanks a lot. Rick New thanks

sounds damn good

I watched this video 5 or 10 years ago I forgot, but I have made hundreds of these and give them away, nice to see people still enjoying this video in 2024

I started stripping the screw head you loosened at 4:09. I eventually got it loose, after trying several Phillips head drivers, and then I replaced it with a better hardened screw.

Obrigada pela dica funcionou mesmo.

Rick, LOVE the eucalyptus method! Thanks for showing this method.

You can drill the hole on the lathe with a Jacob’s chuck on your tail stock

Hi, I watching trying to figure out if I'm up to this, I'm actually interested in larger hooks. Hoping your still doing this. 😊

Thanks,l have been tracing up against a window,but can't do that when it gets dark!

Grind or file a flat on the prop shaft where it is epoxied to the prop. Should be a lot stronger against twisting free.

Great thanks from France

Nice

It's so nice to see those ol fashion drills with those cords coming out of them

sir pls humble request ...tell me mechine name and blade no

Great video how do I get the plans I'm having a hard time finding them thank you

O amigão blz manda o PDF aí pra nós....

thank you so much i love you forever rick

I think the pin head was a brilliant idea for the alignment dimple. It looked much easier than the way I did it. If i ever have to make another one I will use that method.

Nice job! Try a thinner scroll saw's blade, I think it is better for fret work

Hi Rick. I have the same saw. But I want to find out how kan I adjust the blade to cut square from top to bottom. As soon as I cut a piece of wood, then it is out with 1mm. Is there any possibility to assist me please. Hope to hear from you.

Excellent work mate Thanks for sharing i did subscribe 😂
