Thank you so much!

[@TonysBonsai]

I watched a begining of a few videos on how to make chopsticks before I got to yours, and at last a simple straight forward method very well put together. Thanks for sharing!

[@calebaslor3701]

Thank you so much! I’m glad that you shared that. Feel free to message me a few pictures once you finish yours!

They look great, just minor criticism. I'd make your jig a couple inches taller and add a hole to the outer end so that you can attach a bench dog clamp to it, or i'd suggest securing it since it jumped around a bunch on you, but that's just me. Looks like it was all over the table for a second there. But still, nice and to the point jig and made sense. Thank you for your time making this.

[@calebaslor3701]

Thanks for the tip!

Nice Work Caleb! Always an impressive craftsman. Are you going to incorporate other skills ie- your leather work/metal work Or will this channel be strictly wood work?

[@calebaslor3701]

I’ll have to see but I’m sure that it will be incorporated into a lot of the projects. Making a dining room light fixture right now that will have some metal in it.

Thank you! Curious if it is easy for the block plane to accidentally cut into the jig? Is this preventable or do you just have to be super careful once the blank gets close to flush with the jig?

[@calebaslor3701]

As long is your plane is flat and the face of the jig is jointed it isn’t an issue. You also get into a groove and get used to how many strokes you need to get there. Just make sure to use some paste wax to help it slide easy, have fun!

[@smatherton24]

Very nice! How did the glue hold up in the chopsticks? Did you notice any weakness?

[@calebaslor3701]

Great so far! Made it through an accidental dishwasher cycle

[@smatherton24]

@@calebaslor3701 man that’s awesome. I’ve recently gotten into making chopsticks. It’s so much fun. I’ve been thinking about doing some glue ups and inlays and stuff like that. Great vid

Fertility Statues. Hand carved.

[@calebaslor3701]

I’ll take this under serious consideration😂

[@lars_of_the_north]

You can even reuse the same jig for some pieces *innocent grin*

[@olivertobin1840]

Hey! Would you ever consider selling these or doing a commission?

[@thomasralfenson2684]

I did it too. This is what I used Woodglut designs for

[@jimprouty6793]

they look great but! two types of wood for chopsticks are for funerals

[@robohippy]

Well, I would have done it on a lathe. Convenient for me since I have 6 lathes.... I wouldn't use walnut though. Don't work it any more since it makes me sneeze and itch. I would want a lighter wood. Sugar maple maybe, or dogwood if you can get some. White oak maybe.
