How To Cut Strait and Square One on One Less on Live

[@orellinvvardengra6775]

Only 8 minutes in and this is already a phenomenal learning experience for me, this is nice having someone fresh being taught how to do things with proper form. I know I definitely need to reposition my work bench, and then make a saw bench.

Great lesson!

[@johnkendrick8008]

Great format, great content!

I never go on a job without two good old Diston handsaw. I have in my tool chest all the time a Diston D-8 5 1/2 point rip and a London Diston 12 piont crosscut. I've been sharpening my hand saws for over 45 years.

[@paco_vazquez]

Yes, he was in a rush, quite an adventure indeed

Can u make a video for people who don't have a bench or shop. Like I have the basic tools but I don't have room for a bench. So I have to work on a plastic table with a piece of plywood I put on it while working in the backyard or on the ground. The house isn't mine and the owner who lives with me told me I can work outside but he won't let me it anything permanent except my tiny little shed to keep my tools in so I can't put a bench or anything anywhere. I keep my tools in a small shed in the backyard and take everything out to work..so can u do a video for people like me for how to maybe hold things down and work if u can't use dogs or a wood vice etc... The only thing I do have is an old stump I attached a strap to. Is there like tape or a small bench that can be dismantled and then put together when needed??? Thxs for everything u do and teach us bro. U r my go-to channel for hand tools!!!

[@paco_vazquez]

Oh I can relate so much, and I agree, it will be great to have some instruction for us that have no space to spear. I love hand tools because it takes so little space (compared with power tools) but it’s hard with no bench, I’ve a sturdy table attached to couple of studs (I put a 2x4 underneath the table and in between the studs, and then bolted the table to the 2x4)

[@thomashverring9484]

Getting a small tabletop workbench is a good idea! I'm referring to one you can attach to a table. In the Rex Krueger forum I remember a member who started out doing all her work on the kitchen table until someone gave her a tabletop workbench. That's a long time ago and she's build all kinds of stuff since then :^) But getting some wooden clams is a good idea; a small one and a big one. I often use the small one to hold the big one, and then I use the big one as a vise. They are fairly cheap to come by. Also, the low roman workbench might be an idea for you. You can work on it outside or inside and then put it in the shed afterwards.

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

In that place grab a chair. You can use it exactly like a saw bench. It's much easier to saw on that than it is on the table without a vise. But that being said the bench really is the first Tool in the shop. If you don't have a bench your first project should probably be making one. If you don't have the space for a full bench then you can make a bench on bench which is a small bench surface that can be set on a table top. Usually something around 2 ft by 2 ft with a clamp on the end. That bench surface can be clamped down to the table or stump or whatever you have. But when done you can pick it up and put it away.

I'm right there with you, Suzz. My shop area is around the edges of my garage so I use all foldable or rolling tools. I've used a workmate since I started woodworking and saw this guy's vid. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaOsZp-HfJ6ljs0. It's a sturdy platform. I've made several of these jigs and they work great. Plus you can fold it up and lean it against the wall when you're done. I guess it's time to make an actual video, James. 🤨

[@mm9773]

Sounds like a case for a Black & Decker workmate.

Wright House, Cosman House, Krueger House, Estlea House… This could be so fun. We need a Sorting Saw… We could have rival schools with their own Houses, Ramsey House, Spencer House, Lincoln Woodworks House.. then another school Sellers House, Bourbon Moth House, Stumpy Nubs House, 3x3 House, Katz-Moses House… Of course Izzy Swan School would be some sort of rogue school lolol

[@paco_vazquez]

And let’s not forget the Charlesworth House. I had seen some of his KZbin videos, and then got some of his long format videos. It is such a pleasure just to hear him speak, so soothing. Unfortunately, Mr. Charlesworth recently passed away. He left a great deal of knowledge in his videos and books. I was saddened to learnt he’s gone, but happy to know he left us the treasure of his knowledge. So James, I am so happy you put so much rich content for all us woodworking enthusiasts, I am looking forward to learn more from you (and Mr Krueger, Ms Tamar, Mr Katz-Moses, Mr Douglas, et. al.)

[@whittysworkshop982]

@@paco_vazquez Mr Charlesworth has givin a lot to our craft, it's a shame that not many knew his name and his contributions; nor his calming voice. One thing that I heard him say, which I sometimes repeat; when you dont know what way the grain is going for planing he would say "just suck it and see" 😂 I often say that to myself when I cant figure out what way the grain is going. I use the "ruler trick" too (tho he didnt like it being called a "trick")..... makes it seem like its some kind of "cheat". I jus learned that he has passed from your comment here..... I too am saddened that he is gone ♥️ he had trouble with his lungs for a long time, hopefully he doesnt have pain any longer ♥️

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

I recommend stepping on the piece instead of kneeling on it. The bottom of your foot or shoe is much tougher than the soft tendon just below knee cap. You can still lean torso forward, chest to knee, to apply more weight to hold the work piece down. The sawing arm is still doing the same movement. If you saw with right hand, place left foot on work piece, and vice versa. For cross cut with the stepping technique, leave the work piece overhang off the ends of saw bench, not side. This way, the off cut is complete in front of you, and you still use left hand to hold the off cut when getting close to the end of the cut.for rip cut, overhang on the side of saw bench, and you can either lift foot slide the piece forward as you go, or slide backwards. I think either foot can step on the piece for ripping depending how wide your bench is and how wide is on the off cut side, but you generally want to step on the wider side.

Beginning to suspect James started utube because he likes filming himself.
