Czas na prezent! Jutro mój kanał powita 25 000 subskrybenta! Zawsze się uśmiecham kiedy myślę o tym, ile osób chce oglądać moją pracę. To niesamowite i daje mi dużą motywację, aby wstać o 4 rano i zrobić coś, czym mogę się z Wami podzielić.
Tak, 4 rano :) Później mam czas na moją pracę i na moje piękne kobiety.
Czasami jestem trochę zmęczony, ale kiedy wchodzę do mojego małego warsztatu, jestem wolny. Jestem wolny w 100%.
Chciałbym, aby każdy z was czuł się tak samo, bez względu na przyczynę.
Chcę podziękować Wam wszystkim i zrobić coś dla jednego z Was.
Będzie to młotek do ustawiania drewnianych strugów.
Zrobiłem go z mahoniu santos, mosiądzu i bukszpanu.
Jako wykończenie używam szelaku pomarańczowego.
Mam nadzieję, że będzie dobrze służyć jednemu z was.
Nie martw się o koszty wysyłki, ja płacę.
Jeśli chcesz wygrać, daj mi znać w komentarzu poniżej :)
Trzymam kciuki!
Wyłonię zwycięzcę w pierwszym filmie w styczniu 2020 r.
Dziękuję!

Clearly you understand that the value of a tool is measured both by it's utility and and by the the tool's connection to its maker, the care with which it's been made and used, and it's connection to the projects it has contributed to. The value of such tools cannot be expressed in dollars or euros or whatever. They are truly priceless.

[@StavrosGakos]

Thanks a lot :)

[@JanKowalski-yt3pj]

A najlepsze jest to, że koszt użytych materiałów to tak naprawdę grosze. Takie młotki w specjalistycznych sklepach, np. jubilerskich, potrafią kosztować prawie papier z Zygmuntem. Zatem brawa dla umiejętności rąk ludzkich. Twoich dłoni, Stavrosie!

[@StavrosGakos]

Dziękuję :) pozdrowienia!

You create beautiful tools in your tiny workshop, sir. It is privilege to watch a master at work!

You have shared with us a very touching message. I'm archaeologist and I study mankind from the very begining to now and the very meaning of mankind is the ability to imagine, create and make tools at the begining, to survive, to eventually transform and create something new. I'm looking you're channel because in your way, you reflect the timeline of our complexe species. I would be proud that you entrust me one of your creation. Have a very nice end of year. Caroline

[@StavrosGakos]

Thank you Caroline :) All the best for you!

[@morganhertzfeld8905]

I love how simple and beautiful this plane adjusting hammer is! I’d love to own one and use it in my shop

[@Cowboy_Ash]

I watched this sitting in the doorway to my little 8x11 foot shop in my backyard on quiet afternoon. I know exactly how you feel. I just bought an old iron for a jointer plane I will be building soon and would be proud to use this beautiful small hammer to adjust it. Good luck to all and thank you for the joy your videos bring me each time. Merry Christmas.

[@StavrosGakos]

Thank you :) All the best for you Ash! Merry Chistmast!

Panie Stavros, prowadzi Pan niewątpliwie najciekawszy kanał o tej tematyce. Jest naprawdę dobrze jakościowo i w sposób ciekawy nagrany. To wyższa półka. Cieszy to że to wszystko dzieje się w Polsce. Nie wiem gdzie uczył się Pan zawodu, ale nauczycieli miał Pan przednich, co w połączeniu z Pana talentem daje rewelacyjny efekt. Dali oni Panu niesamowite podstawy. Nie wiem też czy Pan ma już uczniów, bo ma Pan im co przekazać. Szkoda że już jestem za stary i mieszkam za daleko od Pana, ale chętnie bym u Pana terminował. Gratuluję, łączę pozdrowienia. Do następnego filmu.

Nice work, Lucas. As a hammer user for many years, I have a small suggestion: never make round holes for the shaft! Even a small, delicate hammer will soon begin to rotate on the handle. Pozdro

Nie ma takiej godziny jak 4 rano. Wiem na pewno, bo kiedyś probówałem sprawdzić i jak się obudziłem to była 7. Młotek piękny. Jak zwykle od Ciebie. Nie startuję w losowaniu. Wystarczy mi sama przyjemność oglądania jak tworzysz.

Congrats on the 25K. now 27K. 😁 Love your work and would be honored to have a piece made by your hand, but I would not do it justice. I lover woodworking but am nowhere near having my own shop as well as the correct tooling to make fun projects. Just last month bought some new Makita tooling to revamp the garage. Still long ways to go. Keep it up. I am enjoying your content and craftmanship. Cheers. 👍🎈

[@StavrosGakos]

Thank you Jan, good luck with your workshop! Regards :)

[@scorodiet]

I can't wait for your next video, you always deliver the best hand tools. They are all true works of art. I would like to compete for this hammer, I could use it well. And it is an honor to be able to use something from you.

Congratulations. Always a pleasure watching you work. And I know that contrary to popular belief, it cost more money that you make to entertain and educate on KZbin. I, for one, am very grateful. Congrats again.

If there is reincarnation you can bet hard gold right here , is like seeing the spirit of an 1800's master craftsman getting a second run at life because he wanted to do so much more last time and now he really feels free because the amazing time to be a craftsman . I'd like to win and at the same time I've won just by admiring such beautiful work .

First of i have to thank you Stavros for making these videos and sharing your superb craftsmanship with us. I myself have just starting to dabble with wodworking. By watching your videos i have worked up the curage to start making my own tools. I recently finished my first hand router plane. Its not perfect, it looks like a turd but its a tool i made and i am proud of it and it gives me great joy when i use it. I like to think you had something to do with it to. If i win your adjustment hammer i would be honored!

[@Drwal_1984]

Wow, You’re giveing me a lot of motivation and inspiration. I’ve bin working at a lumberjard since 10 years now and I whant to do something more out of wood, and seeing you doing the things and tool’s I feel motivated that only time and practise is limiting me... OK, money also, but aside that. I started to build my workbench and restorating some old tool’s so that my workshop has a soul and also I whant to creat a corner where I can spend some time with my now 2 Year old son, so I can inspire him, and that we spend time building something together. And I’m also practising in plane useing, maybe some day I’ll build one, but dor now I’m learnigng. And now I’m going home, couse I usualy work at the evenings, when my son goes to sleep. And now I hope to watch a good wideo :) BTW would be nice to get this hamer, just to see to what level of perfection I whant to practise :) and it would be something I can in the futur pass on to my son. And an alarm clock, so he will wake up at 4 a.m. :D
