I have all these tools, including 2 full sets of chisels; doh! 😂🇦🇺👴🏻

This is the best video I seen on scissors sharpening. I managed to salvage 4 scissors and now they are better than new.

Lol, "sorry about that I forgot to lock the door" that was funny, thanks for the video it was helpful and fun

In one hour you have produced a master class in bowl turning. Thank you!

You've got more money than brains if you spend $125.00 to $150.00 on a marking knife.

This is another thing wrong woodworking. There's a guy in Canada. He makes videos on dovetail. He shows step by step how to lay the out, how to cut them, everything you want to know about dovetails. Then he came out with his own saw, his own marking knife, and other assorted tools to make your dovetail better. All for around $1000.00 . Now you're pushing a marking knife. Are you gonna tell us how that knife costs? My point. You don't have to spend ridiculous amounts of money to have fun while woodworking.

Great pitch. You soon learn the importance of a tool AFTER you buy it. I succumbed to that Batty angle thing and I think I know which drawer it's in ...

Shawn, was your dad into wood carving? That tool you found of his is used by wood carvers. Cummings Tool used to sell them but they are really hard to find now, in working order. I wood carve basically faces, and that tool is very useful but works best on softer wood. Due to them being hard to find, most have gone to rotary tools as well as hand tools. I want to get into turning wood for a different hobby and have a lathe being delivered today. I like watching your videos because you take the time to explain things and you have gotten me into turning rather than carving now. Thank you.

I saw James Johnson's (my Dad) work out there! I remember the years when he helped start up SWAT and could give demonstrations. He sure misses it. Thanks for sharing and showing all of the beautiful work produced by such talented artists.

I am lucky to call James and Anna friends. I met them through the Hill Country Turners in Kerrville. James is a wealth of information. It’s great to see his talent showcased.

Thank you for the informative dust collection rundown. Very well thought out and explained. Your passion and enthusiasm are most appealing. Well done.

Thank you

Great video on saw set up. You covered everything in a plain, straight forward way. Easy to understand. Thank you.

hey there, I'm trying to buy a birthday present for my dad... his father used to have a wooden open tote tool box and my dad always talks about wishing he had one .... this honestly looks wonderful, where could I go or what websites should I check out as I'm interested in buying a product like this?

You silly nut! LOL I love your advert!

The Woodcraft store I go to has a "Woodpecker" display. Honestly, I have never seen products as overpriced as this. Totally out of line. The dial indicator set up you show must be outrageously pricey. You're obviously a very smart guy. Why don't you use your own indicator and make your own attachments and mounts?(out of wood)

Nicely done. Do you have thoughts on burnishing again after adding sealer, oil, other finish?

You're not kidding about hot shavings coming off a workpiece while turning. I have come close to burning myself a number of times.

If you have to cut a big board in half why would you use a bandsaw? Use the proper saw!😂

Lee Valley (Veritas) is a total knockoff of the Titemark made by Glen Drake. I don't care how much they change to avoid Patent infringements. As for the Woodriver Chinese crap, they should not even be sold in the Western World. I'm looking at you Rob Cosman (but we know what he did with that company and Lie Nielsen designs don't we?)

Fret saw is better in every way

That lamp was the first Ethan caught my attention

I use my shoulder plane far more than my router plane, but never for its intended purpose ironically!

This may be a dumb question, but as you grind away material on the tool, wouldn't your distance on the jig change? Like your marks for each tool; wouldn't they drift over time?

Shawn, I'm a 40-year woodworker,I started a woodworking club a number of years ago and have taught woodworking for 18 years through our local community college, our club has a new member who wants to make her first project on a wood lathe, I like to send a video to new woodworkers on the basics of what they are asked about before attending our meetings, I learned online how to turn (thankyou) what I found looking on KZbin is people say their video is for beginners but they don't cover the basics like the parts of a lathe, but they refer to these parts by name, new people don't know what they are talking about when the person in the video is referring to a specific part of the lathe, the video makers also mislabel the title of their videos, as an example"The Lathe - Turning Basics #01 - A foundation video class for woodturners." but all that happens in this video is that you put a new lathe together" ? You are a great teacher and have wonderful information, I thank you for sharing your vast knowledge, please offer a video starting by explaining the parts of the lathe and the rest of the details do a simple spindle turning as if you have a new person next to you who has never held a screwdriver in their life. Happy Holidays

I really like that tool rest chuck holder. Who makes it? Amazing project. I enjoyed seeing the problem solving required!

Definitely going to be making this to get started.

I use the Zebra Z grip click pen parts as my pen kit to make turned pens on my lathe. No inner sleeves with this method. This pen writes better than a Slimline. Total cost to make a turned pen is less than $3.

Thank you

I love when your dad walked in and called you an idiot! I agreed with him on the Stuart batty gauge, it’s very easy to figure out. However I agreed with both of you on determining wall thickness. It’s nice to have a tool for backup or verification but getting used to using your fingers is key. Plus as turning get larger or deeper your fingers no longer reach. Thanks for more good content, I know you’re not really an idiot😂

Thanks for the video. Really enjoyed listening to him talk about his pieces.

Starfish guy here. Thanks for complimenting my piece. I got no feedback from the show at all other than yours. It is appreciated. We were all in the company of some talented woodworkers.

For a beginner woodturner, which sizes for skew, roughing gouge, spindle gouge, bowl gouge, scraper, parting tool would you recommend as a firsts?

Met and talked with James at SWAT this year. He took time to explain about several of pieces. It was an honor to visit with him and great to see him honored as a SWAT founder.

Nitro-V isn't powdered steel. It's a custom stainless designed by New Jersey Steel Baron. Similar to AEB-L. Excellent steel...I use it exclusively for my stainless kitchen knives. The marking knife looks like a quality tool. I recently made one for myself (very different than this one lol, I use mine for wood and leather both, so it includes a scratch awl on the butt end, and I put leather on the top for a bit 'softer' feel). The 'soft' feel on this knife absolutely comes from the rounded edges and the bead blasted/tumbled surface finish. I do the same with the spine and choil of my kitchen knives also lol. With care that blade should last forever. Thanks for sharing and great video. Honest reviews are hard to come by these days!

The shoulder plane, I agree but it's the best for the only time/ reasons you do use it as in cleaning up shoulders n tenons

Fantastic informative video! Thank you for sharing

Almost done with the build and a few comments: 1) the video mentions 6 foot length but plans are 8 feet. Remember to adjust measurements 2) you are missing the screws for putting in the braces as the 1 1/4 are not long enough to go through the 2x4 and the brace. You need longer screws. About to go buy those tomorrow. Also you need 200 screws minimum for the total screws for metal brackets i ran out at 9pm on a sunday and didnt have anymore screws. Also i suggest doing star screws as i had a lot of the philips strip on me and are a pain in the butt to drive. 3) for homedepot cut great tip one note though tell them to cut the length first. So for example mine was trimming it down to 6 feet. Then tell them second cut for in half so they are both equal. If you give them two cuts they will do them in the wrong order. This is important because you will be stacking them on top.

What did you use to flatten those bench tops?

But I wasted hundreds on bowl tools that I don't use now!

I agree with you on those tools, I made a thin parting tool from a edger tool, it doesn't work! & I never use It. The tribite I like for green endgrain

Finally, an answer to why one doesn’t hone the back side of the scissor blades !!! See the 9:33 mark. Thank you for the explanations.

I just ordered my first [cheap] bandsaw, to complement my laser cutters, mostly just to clean up 1/8" plywood remnants. Thanks for the great tips!

Can you do one of these with a flush trim bit that is cutting the full thickness of the stock at once?

You're absolutely correct about Tomislav Tomasic; he's excellent at instructing and in his crafting. I'm pretty new at woodturning and have spent more time watching videos such as yours and his than holding any of the crafts tools, so far. I really enjoy watching your videos and am learning a lot from you too. THANKS! My question is, can I use eight inch CBN wheels on a six inch grinder if I raise it on a platform and leave the side guards off?

Great video!! Seeing your analysis of the challenge coupled with the execution of your solutions really brought the learning experience home. Thank you! What pyrography tool do you use to sign the bowl?

Hi Shawn, Another excellent production. It was nice to see all the sections of the lumber distribution. It was great to learn about the sheet goods, including the markings showing the qualities of the different sides.

Great video man.
