Ortur Laser CNC For Makers Mark, Works Great

[@totherarf]

Another Heirloom tool under your belt ......... and just as important, it looks like you were having fun doing it! Even better ...... No work in foe me (I still get paid though) so home for 1 and this appears in my feed. Life is Good!

[@TheTradesmanChannel]

Well hello Dave. See, I was reading your mind.

[@totherarf]

@@TheTradesmanChannel Well that is a strange and scary place to go ...... and I'm used to it! Sort of.

Hi Jim, You are definitely in the professional category now, what a fancy beautiful chisel! Handel looks great!! I loved the comment "beat it as if it owes you money" paraphrased of course. I saw the notification this morning at work. But I thought I would wait until tonight to watch the video, it was tough to wait but I did! As always God bless and take care from your long-time California subscriber.

Thanks Jim and yes it is Wyoming and Antelope season started this morning.💚💜⚒🛠🤠

[@alexwilson9311]

That’s a fine tool you’ve made there Jim thanks for the content you are pounding out at the moment 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@danryan3146]

Beautiful hand crafted hand tool. You do good work, sir.

[@TheTradesmanChannel]

Thank you Dan

[@grahamallen3941]

Very nice job Jim. Love the makers mark! Looking forward to seeing what you do for the draw knives. I think you have come along way from when you first started. As they say practice makes perfect!! Take care, all the very best Graham🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@TheTradesmanChannel]

Thank you Graham. It seems it gets better with every one of them.

[@newdogatplay]

Got a notification today for the first time in i dont know how long from your channel .

[@TheTradesmanChannel]

I didn't put much out this summer, when that happens my notifications go to the bottom of the viewers piles until I put a few videos out. It's kind of a pain but it is what it is.

[@jeremyspecce]

Man I was getting nervous when you were driving the handle on on that tiny piece of wood 😂

[@TheTradesmanChannel]

Me too buddy, thats why I put the handles on before finish sharpening now.

[@evergreenorganics]

Damn. Now I gotta get one of your chisels. They are beautiful.

[@TheTradesmanChannel]

I've really started taking my time and it's getting faster with better quality.

[@evergreenorganics]

@@TheTradesmanChannel I can tell you’ve been putting in the work.

[@kurtdietrich5421]

Nice work, Jim. A beautiful chisel. I will be ordering one.

[@TheTradesmanChannel]

Thank you Kurt. I'll be making a bunch more.

[@kwatee]

Amazing work. I wonder if a press may help you get the handles pressed together more evenly and straight first go?

[@twagner6155]

Nice work, I hope you are making a good profit.

[@HazItMade]

Jimbo, Kudos on the laser for your maker's mark! Also, if you're concerned about the steel in your handle possibly breaking, I've got a fix for you. Once you have the steel finished and tempered, when it's cooled down (obviously), just stick out your tongue and give it a lick. It should have a nice tang to it! I'm sorry, I can't help myself. Please don't block me for my bad jokes! lol

[@TheTradesmanChannel]

That is terrible

[@southernadirondackoutdoors]

Nice work! I hope you have a good supply of ash for the handles...this year we found EAB infected ash trees down here about half hour northeast of Utica.

[@TheTradesmanChannel]

The ash problems actually generate more material for me. It works out. Hate to see it though.

[@mikehegdahl5393]

Don't know if this would work for you but if you take a chunk of tool steal and grind it into a shape of your handle blanks, build a jig to hold it at just the right angle and put it on a swivel with a handle for leverage with a stop so it will not go too deep. You could have the boy, or even one of his less skilled friends pop out handle blanks by the dozens

[@TheTradesmanChannel]

You know I've had that exact thought, just need to get after if.

[@ccswede]

Did you ever put battens on the outside walls? Also you mentioned putting a sheathing on the outside. Here in Texas the UV destroys wood so fast. Agree with comments in last video about not building house extension.

[@TheTradesmanChannel]

I did. The sun damage is nothing like what you guys deal with.

[@Jim-Wade]

Just wondering ... would a cone die on the press work for those sockets? It might take two or three graduating up to the desired dimensions but it might save some time. I'm a novice at this stuff, but it seems like that might work on a short piece like this.

[@TheTradesmanChannel]

I think it would, I see some on power hammer that work well.

[@HomesteadingNorthernMichigan]

That's a beautiful chisel.. do you sell these?

[@HomesteadingNorthernMichigan]

Found your Amazon store.. when do you think these will be available?

[@TheTradesmanChannel]

These are spoken for but I'll be turning out a larger batch for the website. This goes as fast as I can make them.

[@djmoulton1558]

Were you calling the mandrel a "bick"? I couldn't quite make it out. I can't find any reference to a "bick". Thx

[@TheTradesmanChannel]

I call it a bick, kind of an old term in anvil speak.

[@djmoulton1558]

Horn of the anvil. Got it! Thx.
