Impressive restoration of a framing slick. But even more importantly, you have an awesome collection of vintage tools. I’m envious. Also, thank you for using nothing but tool sounds, no insipid music to detract from the sweet sound of tools in an artist’s hands.

[@ChopWithChris]

You are most welcome!!

[@Timbo868]

I have to comment, you are the real deal craftmen!!! No electrical devices. Just pure old fashion craftmenship. Your attention to detail is amazing. I just subscribed. Keep up the excellent work👏👏👏

[@ChopWithChris]

Thanks!

Грандиозный процесс реставрации на высокопрофессиональном уровне вызывает искреннее уважение. Чего стоят только шлифовальные и токарные работы на станке с ножным приводом! Вообще использование старинных инструментов добавляет в моих глазах ценности этой настойчивой и умелой работе. Гигантская стамеска получила вторую жизнь и по всей видимости еще много и успешно поработает. Браво!

Спасибо!

A draw knife is designed to be used with the bevel down, not up. This allows you to easily control the depth of cut. Also use it in a slicing cut, at an angle of 30 degrees or greater to give a much smother cut than the scraping cut that you were using. The thing makes the work go much faster and easier. I enjoyed the video.

This one is maybe the most antique workshop of KZbin

[@ChopWithChris]

I agree! Many years of flea markets and farm auctions.

[@fnafplayer6447]

You actually inspired me to use more hand tools, I've been using my chisels more since I've been watching you.

[@ChopWithChris]

So happy to hear that!

[@fnafplayer6447]

@ChopWithChris same with my cooper draw knife from L & I.J. white I bought at an antique store. Still works beautifully.

[@ChopWithChris]

Great choice!

[@normafollet7156]

That was very interesting, it looked rather time cosumming on your part good on you for sticking with it. 👍🎓

[@ChopWithChris]

Thanks!

[@KurtClark]

That thing is amazing! Looks like it was a long project and well worth it. I loved seeing the human-driven versions of all your mechanical power tools, and this video taught me a lot about what certain tools do. Great lesson in manufacturing. Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful restoration. My grandfather made mortise chisels for the Amish community in Tennessee back in the 1940s and 50s.

[@ChopWithChris]

Thanks and great to have a grandfather like you did.

That is what you call craftmanship, to do everything by hand.

all the restorations within a restoration video. I'm impressed with how you can keep your hands so steady while pumping away on the lathe.

Thank you for not ruining an old hand forged piece!

[@ChopWithChris]

You are most welcome!

[@167curly]

Your foot-pedal lathe and use of a hacksaw and file are admirable. It's also nice to see a blacksmith using his hands and an anvil. Good to see you treating that old tool with respect by carrying it in a padded case. That piece of cherry-wood has a nice grain for "whittling". So cool to get exercise whilst you save utility costs too. You must have very strong legs? Was that a leather pad to hone the finished chisel? Great restoration project there. Congrats. The big chisel could be ideal for de-barking logs too?

[@ChopWithChris]

Thanks. I enjoy doing things by hand. The leather is intended to protect the edge. This chisel is intended to be used when building timber buildings.

[@coast2coastauctions472]

Great job. I love watching you save that cool old tool.

Very good results for a LOT of effort. Thank you for sharing. I especially liked the post drill as I am in the middle of restoring an old one myself. Lots of fun. What kind of wood did you use for the handle?

[@ChopWithChris]

Thanks! I used Cherry. I have 3 post drills and with 2 restoration videos in my playlist - Magical Woodworking Machines.

[@1Barrel2u]

@@ChopWithChris One of my grandfathers was among other things a farmers blacksmith as was my great grandfather on my mothers side of the family. I was exposed to a lot of old tools and ways of keeping farm equipment going. That may have been why I chose tooling and engineering as a career when I got old enough to have a clue as to what I wanted to do with my life. No regrets other than I wish I had had more time to learn the old ways from them. I like your approach to your videos as will as the things that you do. I wish the best for you and your family --

[@Traderjoe]

Holy cow, you are a master! I love the double swell of the handle. I admit to thinking the blade was a lost cause, but you saw it’s potential shine through the pits and uneven surface. In the end it doesn’t actually matter if the face of the steel is pitted, because the very edge is doing all the work and the rest just glides over the wood.

[@ChopWithChris]

Thanks!

[@Elvinandritos]

Great job as always. So happy to see the use of the foot powered lathe!!!

[@ChopWithChris]

Thanks!

[@TheriaultDave]

Awesome Chris, using the lathe as impromptu grinder brush was very clever. I like that you kept the rustic look on the body of the chisel. Looking forward to seeing this newest addition be used in one of your future project. Keep up the good work my friend :)

[@ChopWithChris]

[@AussieDev81]

Nice work, that was great 👍 I'm no wood turner, but in high school I recall adding those decorative rings around handles and table legs etc, and rather than cutting them in with a chisel we wrapped some tie wire around the back of the workpiece and then pulled lightly on both ends of the wire such that it burnt a recessed ring into the timber.

[@ChopWithChris]

I’ve never tried that method but I need to.
