[@MattLitkeRacing]

The Unit did a nice job here. Great looking video

[@sedgetool]

Thank you very much!

[@thefilthelement]

1:50 I’m just fixated on what you’ve done with your center tool well ❤

[@sedgetool]

I should do a video on my bench !!!

[@thefilthelement]

@@sedgetool yes please!

[@joebeaton1101]

Great info! I use Western Saws, but Japanese Chisels. Made a Mallet out of Maple I had > Love it! Keep the Sunday Tutorials coming!!

[@sedgetool]

Thanks! Will do!

Veritas DX60 will become your new fav block plane.

[@sedgetool]

ok

Professor Sedge, another great class! Thank you. I love the hand tools. What do you recommend on gouges and sizing? This would make a great class. Keep up the great education, Blake

[@sedgetool]

Great suggestion!

Years ago I picked up the Lie-Nielsen Low Angle Block Plane in bronze. Over the years I've been able to add more planes to my kit but that little block plane remains my favorite - which makes me a wee bit reluctant to recommend it as over the years I'm sure you have your favorites too.

[@sedgetool]

My favorite hand plane will always be my LN 4 1/2 ....... was given to me by my parents....

[@warrensmith2902]

A ice trip down memory lane. Several of the tools I kept from my Fathers tools, was his dovetail saw and his No 5 Stanley hand plane. Since most of my wood working is with sheet goods, I have a cheep set of chisels and 1/8" Marple.

[@sedgetool]

Cool Warren !!! Thanks !

Sedge, another awesome video. I agree with all your handtool sugestions and have a few of the exact tools you are recommending!. If you are looking for new topics, how bout doing an indepth "ins and outs" video of your hand tool work bench? A workbench is next on my list of shop projects and I really want to incorporate MFT style top using the parf guide system. Im out of room in my shop and need to combine two fixtures into one.

[@sedgetool]

Great Idea

[@VicTesolinWoodworks]

Great top 5 list Brian! But imagine only having 5? 😵

[@sedgetool]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm .......

Awesome advice for a getting just the essentials. I know it’s personal preference, but I love my Japanese Ryoba saw for general purpose use. It has two cutting edges - one for ripping and the other for cross-cutting. And, with no back (the blade stays straight under tension) there is no depth limit. For years it was the only saw I had or needed. I have since added several nice Western saws to my shop and they are quite nice to use. But when starting out, and on a budget, a good Ryoba is hard to beat for versatility.

[@sedgetool]

Awesome point...good choice....

[@michaelnorman5640]

Definitely great choices for sure Sedge! I approve this message as all the politicians are saying right now! WICKED GREAT!

[@sedgetool]

Thanks Michael !!!!

[@Shannon-v3r]

Is that a festool table saw? I thought that was only available in Europe?! I’m sure you have your ways to get the good stuff. I want to be like you when I grow up!

[@sedgetool]

I have had / used a CS70 since 2007........really great saw.....but I use my TS55 track saw 95% of the time...

[@tedrzz]

Hey Sedge! Haven't been on the channel recently, but just wanted to say hi and looks like you got a new camera? The image quality is looking fantastic! Have a great day!

[@sedgetool]

Thanks Ted ... welcome back...Yep we got a couple of new DJI Osmo 3's ...Chris is always stepping up the game !!!

[@tedrzz]

WOW the quality of that little camera is outstanding!! Nicely done picking that camera out Chris!!!

[@chriskelvin248]

Don’t forget a sharpening system! Without a wicked sharp edge on your chisels and planes, you’re going nowhere fast, maybe even getting hurt! It could be as simple as a 12” square of glass and a selection of sandpaper grits to get fantastic results!

[@sedgetool]

Thanks for the tip !!

[@betrickey]

You skipped over the best feature of the Bridge City plane. You should have demonstrated the thickness planing feature. It's great for absolutely smooth and consistent parts.

[@sedgetool]

Yep..That is a GREAT feature .....

[@kb6dxn]

Bevel up why? because you can change the angle where bevel down you are limited to the frog.

[@sedgetool]

Yes....just have to change the blade on a bevel up
