Making A Lazy Kate - Woodworking

[@Smidgen-x4i]

I enjoyed this video, easy to understand with good narration and excellent camera work. The sound of the plane shaping the wood is a good soundtrack. Thanks.

[@BoB4jjjjs]

Ah, so you like doing things the old skilled way! I love the sound of an old workshop.

[@cleathercrafts]

Cool to watch your approach with the planes rather than using a router. It does mean a lot less dust. I'll have to try it for shaping my next wet mould blocks!:)

Hand tools are so peaceful. Love your Lazy Kate💕

[@harryrogers]

Thanks

Another really excellent video Harry. You really do have a very calming, very informative step by step friendly teaching manner about you. After watching this, not only can we make a lazy kate, but you have shown all the steps required to make a product.I am sure that everyone that watches this, will feel as though they now have the confidence to give it a try! Well done.

[@tropifiori]

A lovely project Harry.

[@Kareszkoma]

Very nice!

[@scottmorrell148]

nice job. you have great hand tools nice to see them being used

[@harryrogers]

Thanks

[@paulj3653]

Hi Harry, all of your woodwork tools look really sharp. I would like to see you do a video on sharpening, hand plane blades and chisels. Would you consider it please?

[@harryrogers]

Yes...monocrystaline diamond stones!

[@tangle70]

The thing about hand tools is that they are quiet. There is a peace you get when using them that you do not get with a machine tool. Not to mention the way they sing when they cut wood.

[@harryrogers]

You have hit the nail on the head.

A pleasure to see hand tools being used after seeing so many KZbinrs using enough machinery to start a furniture factory ! Good to see that you were able to use some favoured pieces of wood too for this project ! Varnish will look nice on the finished machine ( as perhaps it could be called ). Will you need to add "spacers" on the metal tent pegs to keep the bobbins "centred" in the gaps - the spacers changed for others depending upon the width of bobbins ? Also how will you keep the wool spooling up evenly across the "final" bobbin ? Lastly, is the machine stable enough on the stand that forms the base, or will you clamp it down in use ? Maybe if you have time to demonstrate it in a video, that will answer our questions ? But well done with another enthralling project !

[@harryrogers]

Thanks I will pop a film up of it being used.

[@Volcker1929]

Very interesting, thank you.

[@ImGinaMarie]

Pretty nice except it needs to be tensioned to keep the yarn from winding off the bobbin too fast

[@jackreeves3001]

Another great video, very enjoyable. How large is your shop? It seems very efficient.

[@harryrogers]

Hi ..it's about 8x10 ft

[@vernonbowling5310]

When technology fails we will always have hand tools. I much do prefer the hand tool over the noisy power tool.

[@sedulousdabbler5468]

Did you say 60 years of wood working?, how old are you?

[@Cody_Ramer]

Well alec steele is technically a master blacksmith as he has 10+ years of smithing experience. He started at age 11.

[@mrsgbee]

I was wondering if the bobbins were standing up on their ends, the friction of the end of the bobbin on the base would stop the bobbin from swinging back and forwards which might be a problem during spinning?

[@harryrogers]

Yes I guess so...good thinking!

[@chadoftoons]

Thanks crafts person.

[@bilbobaggins5752]

Fun little thing, but you didn't show how it works!

[@victorkulakou3094]

Harry, say please: what you cannot do?

[@gbwildlifeuk8269]

I don't know, these lazy women - lazy Kate, lazy Susan, 😂

[@susandoar3420]

A lazy Kate needs a tensioner
