Lovin’ the off-centre look 😄

“Because chamfers are what separate us from the animals” is one of Blondihacks favorite sayings!

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

I am glad someone got that one!

[@Orphmorg]

At least three of us know it it seems.

[@pettere8429]

Were did she get it from?

[@wrongtown]

She's great 😁

[@mikebeacom4883]

I had just finished Ron Covell’s video- a collaberation with Blondihacks. He quoted the same line!

[@margaretkrantz1469]

Fun project! Cheap saws were what kept me from enjoying woodworking when I first started out. Good saws are a joy. Ironically, I would say you need to be more skilled to use cheap ones well.

[@margaretkrantz1469]

I should add that I love my Japanese saws--I just hate the crappy saws I've gotten at the big box stores.

[@snellscroft]

I use hardpoint saws for cutting plasterboard and if I have to work in the rain to protect my good saws, otherwise nota fan, very best wishes for Christmas and the new year

[@kennethnielsen3864]

Nice project.

[@wizcactus]

It does look easy candle holder

[@christopherharrison6724]

Merry Xmas to you and yours love your shows

[@daniel_bohrer]

I like the sharpenable saws. There are some cheap hardpoint saws in the local woodshop I often go to, but they have become quite dull over the years (I bet other people there also use them on metal a lot…) and someone desparately needs to go to the hardware store and buy new ones. With my sharpenable saws, I can sharpen them any time I like, even at midnight when the stores are closed - I'm more of a night owl anyways, so this is when I mostly do woodworking. And I like the thought of not letting good steel go to waste. After all, I have more than enough card scrapers and scratch stocks, and still more than enough old saw blades left for more 😅 Merry Christmas to you and your family!

[@dannyhale7645]

I've got an old Stanley hard point saw that I bought in the late '90s, long before I became interested in hand tool woodworking. It cuts on both the push and pull stroke, or so the packaging said. It definitely does better on the push stroke. There was something my circular saw wouldn't do, so I bought this thing. For years, I was convinced that it was crap and wouldn't cut anything well. I only used it when absolutely necessary. After I actually learned the proper grip and mechanics of using a hand saw, from your videos, I discovered that it actually works pretty well. Now, I like to use it for rough dimensioning, sometimes.

[@davidlynn7161]

Simple and pretty. Happy everything to you and your family.

[@jimhyslop]

I made a Hanukkah menorah out of red oak recently. My DIL loves it.

[@thomashverring9484]

And you make this video now! When I've just been churning out candle holders for weeks! But Merry Christmas and all that :^)

[@ianpearse4480]

BLO and bees wax, a match made in heaven, which is what Angles use to light their candles! LOL.

[@alexanderkononov1113]

Nice!

[@dpmeyer4867]

Nice

[@scottswineford6714]

I rely on the cheap saws for a couple things. I generally breakdown large stock outside, my boat is being built outside and I live on a small farm with critters that love to disassemble stuff. So when I drop it , bang into something or need to cut something abrasive I don't whine, snivel and cry, also any of my family can pick up another on a run to town. Also my little "Aw crap" bench/stool/ tool transport is sized for hold one.

[@warrenmunn3224]

Merry Christmas James, Sarah and family. A great little Christmas idea.

[@johnnichols9054]

Merry Christmas and the best of new years.

[@michaelgreen429]

That is neat project, curves in all the Wright places. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to the whole Wright family!

[@cuttwice3905]

Interesting idea to consider with a menorah.

[@Dragon_With_Matches]

Looks super classy! Nice work!

[@marcbarash6045]

Happy Holiday to you and your family

[@malcolmsmith5903]

Nice quickie James. Oak elevates even the simplest thing with it's grain interest. I've no interest in hard points. I've got plenty of saws.

[@PedroPereira-ut6pp]

Happy Christmas all!

[@darkounet3478]

Nice piece, i love it ! I would have cut it with a turning frame saw (the 70cm long ones we have in continental Europe, idk if you have one), saves a bit of wood if you cut several arches, but whatever 🙂

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

If the piece were thinner I'd probably jump at that. But the amount of time it would take to cut two inch thick wood would would be considerably more and far less enjoyable. But that's just my list.

[@darkounet3478]

@@WoodByWrightHowTo indeed it's much faster to split the wood 😄 but vs a ripsaw, i think a full-size turning saw would not be that slow. i was just wondering if you knew/had this type of saw. I love your content btw 🙂

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

thank. yes I have two full sized turning saws. I have a few videos making them if you want to see more.

[@MCsCreations]

Really amazing work, James! Beautiful piece!!! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊 Merry Christmas and happy new year!

[@myerscok]

Maybe could cut out a three candle arch in the waste below the curve?

[@sumiaota3335]

Since my Japanese pull saws are all cheap hardpoint disposable saws, I guess that answers that question!

[@Hansenomics]

It never fails though, at some point you will have a need for that curved off cut for something you had not yet imagined. At least, that is the way it works in my shop! 😂

[@pettere8429]

That is what turning saws are for (or bandsaws in the case of lazy me).

[@jimhyslop]

And of course, you're guaranteed to need it about two weeks after you clean out all the offcuts you've been holding onto for years.

[@JoseSanchez-jj9ez]

blondie where is the lathe and mill?

[@simonorchard1115]

How do you make a flat bottomed recess without the dimple left by an auger or forstner bit?

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

you can use a hole saw with out the dead screw and then carve it. but in any method it will mean carving it.

[@byal9000]

I just dislike the wastefulness of hard point saws. I'd rather spend a few minutes sharpening than just toss the saw when it's dull. Sharpening is a skill you have to learn in woodworking regardless, why not do it for saws too?

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

I would generally agree. But one $5 hardpoint saw usually saves me about three sharpenings. And if he sharpening takes me 10 minutes that means it saved me a half hour. And in my book that's a good investment.

[@byal9000]

@@WoodByWrightHowTo I totally get it. But to me, part of the joy of hand tools is breaking out of the production mindset. There is also some amount of time associated with buying the saws. I guess I see the hobby as including taking care of the tools I use, and sharpening my saws is part of that.

Has he ever heard of the term "bandsaw"?

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

LOL I do have a hand powered one.
