Hi Chris, I started watching this at lunchtime and it is past midnight now because I watched sections at a time between all the other jobs I did today as mini-rewards for getting stuff done. This was a great project and certainly highlighted your skill, patience and craftmanship. Great job, thank you. Best Wishes, Brendan.

[@ChopWithChris]

Thanks so much Brendan.

I have a pencil sharpener just like that one, Chris! It was in my grandparents' home and I remember using it when I was a wee bitty tyke. I'm 65 now and keep it in my shop and my grandkids use it.

@@ChopWithChris what do you do to stop the chisels, augers and plane irons from going rusty over the winter? My workspace is open to the elements, and even the oil I place on them isnt working well enough. Tips?

[@JK-zl7vv]

As a tip for soldiering copper, the solder will always follow the heat source, so if your soldering a pipe that sits vertically and you need the solder to flow up inside the joint you would put your heat source above the joint, which will draw the solder up, so in your water container, you would have wanted to put your heat source on the outside of the box, while soldering the inside joint, to draw the solder between both pieces for a water tight seal. Great job on everything brother 🤠👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@ChopWithChris]

Ahhh! Thanks for the advice! I have so much to learn!

[@Esteric100]

Not bad from using old pieces of junk.. You rebuilt the stone made the polishing wheels refurbished the treadle lathe brought in a an old chain saw jig to hold the chisels and lastly used a carvers Vice for in and out adjustment.. but this was so long.. keep going it’s nice to see things that are not used repurposed again..☺️👍

You should have bought the other grindstone (first) and make another one so you could switch grits similar to a diamond stone. But honesty not only did you buy a good one you brought the stone itself back to life.

Обратил внимание , что мастер при работе на этом антикварном сверлильном станке не использует автоматическую подачу , а подаёт сверло вручную . Это очень правильно , риск сломать станину чрезмерным усилием сводится к минимуму .

[@ChopWithChris]

Yes! 👍🏻👍🏻

What you could have done is save the dust when you carved out the center and used that in the resin to give it a more naturao look but im not complaining as mustard works just as well.
