It's nice to watch someone who knows WHY he's doing what he's doing, not just what to do and how to do it. Really like your videos and your shop made tools.

best video on this subject I've seen after scouring KZbin, thanks for uploading and sharing your expertise!

[@bruce-le-smith]

It would be an honour for anyone to have you and your team work on their boat, all of your videos are so helpful. Thank you.

As a metal boat builder, im amazed at your skills, and left feeling very amateurish! Ive spent about 3hrs watching your vids! Great to see an O.G. at work, and educating people! Thanks sir

[@debradorn9695]

Man, your video is the most helpful I've encountered, ever! Thank you.

[@kaylamccall1051]

Thank you for the video. I already kind of knew what to do but the way you used the planer blades as scrapers was awesome and a new trick for me. I like how you talked about raising the grain at the end also. Again, thanks for sharing.

Beautiful to watch such refined skills. I'm trying this on a redwood baseboard to restore it after inexcusable paint!

I have always sharpened my putty knives with a square end, but not for many years. I started stripping a the washboards today using your technique. It was a pleasure to see something work just the way it was shown. One down three more to go.

Thank you for the wonderful video - I learnt a lot.

Great info, could watch all day! Thank you.

I find it helps to heat the putty knife as well. That's a great idea about squaring up the end. I've never tried that.

[@Samlol23_drrich]

Well, my heat gun was in fact hot enough to scorch Mahogany. And I’ve got proof...

[@arubanjames]

I love your vids, I pick up a new trick with each one!
