Making a Writing Slope

[@Dan-jq8se]

Excellent video, and your craftsmanship are amazing. The design and execution were really well done, and I am especially impressed with the engineering skills in developing such a clever mechanism for the upper box. My one negative comment is the fluctuating volume of your intermittent background music...it was quite annoying. Please do not take to the negative comment as detracting from your excellent work.

[@WoodScrape]

Hi, thanks for the kind words. You aren't the first to mention the volume lol. Learning Premier Pro is a lot harder than furniture making it turns out but I will certainly be spending some time on volumes. Thank you once again for view and comment

[@TheShadow-n8k]

I made a writing slope two years ago, also as a gift. Mine was made from repurposed woods/pallets. Not quite as fancy pants as yours, but I like how it turned out. As did the recipient. Nice work on yours. I'm sure who ever received it will treasure it.

[@WoodScrape]

Thank you

[@RSEV]

Wow! Appreciate al the work there. Not only the amazing detail and time to make the item, but also the video.. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 bravo!

[@woodshoppoppop]

Stunning! Knowing you’re a Veritas addict - they make a hand jointer to attach your shoulder plane to, that would have been perfect for taking down those thin strips. I use mine so much. Love your attention to detail and the sheer mastery you displayed. Brilliant!

[@WoodScrape]

My Veritas habit started with the medium shoulder plane and quickly escalated from there lol. I keep meaning to get (or make) the jointing fence you are talking about. It would definitely be safer lol

Beautiful work and lovely to see use of hand tools. I really enjoyed the video - subscribed 👍

[@WoodScrape]

Thats very kind of you to say, thank you.

[@austinvickymoore3656]

That is amazing... far better then what I can do with my skills but I want to give it a go anyway!! Great job!

[@WoodScrape]

The only way to learn these skills is to get involved and have a go. I promise its just practice. I bet your skills are a lot better than you give yourself credit for. We are our own worst critics. I'm currently filming my first ever attempt at a Rising sun Dovetail. Probably going to be a bit of a mess but want to show that none of us get it prefect first time. Thanks for watching and your kind comments.

Truly beautiful.

[@WoodScrape]

Thank you

[@streetballplayer100]

That is such a beautiful masterpiece!!!

[@WoodScrape]

Thank you.

[@dr._.baldwyn]

Awesome build, leather shouldn't ever need a backing for extra strength though, rigidity sure but leather is very wear resistant

[@WoodScrape]

Good to know. I'll bear it in mind next time. Thanks

[@noonoo46]

Amazing craftsmanship

[@WoodScrape]

Thank You

[@andrewmcteigue8736]

Damn that is a really nice box love the extra mile you went with everything

[@WoodScrape]

Thank you. My next project is complete. i'm just trying to get the edit finished. Thanks fo watching. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@Jessiebes]

Its stunning. The detail is amazing.

[@WoodScrape]

Thank you for you views

[@carstenaltvater]

Absolutely beautyful. Thanks for sharing, now I know what angle the slope should be. Nice work.

[@WoodScrape]

Glad to help. thanks for your kind comment.

Amazing mate!

[@arboristBlairGlenn]

I’m surprised you don’t have more views. Great project and good edit.

[@WoodScrape]

The channel is gaining momentum slowly. Thanks for the view, Glad you enjoyed it.

[@arboristBlairGlenn]

@@WoodScrape I’m also a KZbin producer.I understand how difficult it is to get noticed and even if your video is good, the analytics don’t often work in your favor.

[@PaulHughes-s3h]

Fantastic, that's all I can say

[@WoodScrape]

Thank you for the view

[@ping170]

Very interesting video and awesome build with loads of fine details 👍 No idea why YT algorithm didn't vector me to your channel any sooner... May I suggest a more balanced volume between the much appreciated voice over and the (not that much) background music ? All the best !

[@WoodScrape]

Hi. Thanks for your views and comment. My channel finally seems to be algorithm friendly (for now). I don't think the algorithm gives my channel much notice as I don't regularly release videos due to health issues. You aren't the first to mention the volume lol. I'm getting better with PemPro but need to put more attention to the volume in future. Again, thanks for the views.

[@ping170]

@@WoodScrape You deserve ! Hey Mr YT Algo, here is another comment, tell the woodworking community about this channel 😅 Take care !

[@WoodScrape]

@@ping170 you too, many thanks.

[@speedcaptured]

Awesome video, love the amount of detail in the explanations. Technical note, minor complaint - it's annoying to have to keep adjusting the volume between when you're speaking and when the music is playing. Going to look at your channel now to see if there's an explanation of some of the hand tools - one or two I'm not familiar with so thanks for giving me another rabbit hole to dive down. Off to watch the inlaid tool chest next.

[@WoodScrape]

Hi. Thanks for the comment. Yeah you aren’t the first to say that about the volume lol. I’m learning more about editing on each video so am planning to pay more attention to it. Glad you enjoyed it

[@monroeautobody1971]

Very nice!

Thank you

[@j_2_the_izoe]

Please tell me you made plans for this?? I would love to get my hands on those! Outstanding work man. Immensely impressed 👏

[@WoodScrape]

thank you for the kind comment. It was designed on fusion360 but a few bits were designed in my head. If you have Fusion360 I can send you the file otherwise you will need to send me an email address. you can do that through Instagram message instead of here.

[@j_2_the_izoe]

@@WoodScrape I use sketchup but I'll find you on Instagram and message you. Once again outstanding work!

[@garydrainville3986]

Wow, that was so very satisfying to watch - the attention to detail is outstanding! Was this a commissioned piece?

[@WoodScrape]

Hi, Thanks for watching. It was a gift

[@garydrainville3986]

@@WoodScrape ah yes I remember seeing that. It really makes me think of how these were made back in the 19th century and the limited equipment by todays standards - either way, it comes down to talent of the individual.

[@WoodScrape]

@@garydrainville3986 I spent a lot of time with research and looking at antique ones but also wanted mine to have a modern feel. I think i got there.

[@garydrainville3986]

@@WoodScrape Absolutely. I just bought a nice Victorian slope from the UK and hands down I’d take what you created.

[@Guruvandanaa]

How can we buy

[@WoodScrape]

I’m sorry but this piece isn’t for sale Thank you for watching
