A dowel plate is great when you want to make your own dowels out of specific lumber. it is very hard to find white oak dowels. but with a dowel plate, I can make them. today I want to make a block for my DFM tool works dowel plate. this will keep the dowels aligned and cut a smoother dowel.

Oh man, thank you for including the bit of you sifting through shavings for the tiny piece that broke off.... makes you at least APPEAR somewhat mortal... Really great work as ALWAYS

[@WoodByWright]

Thanks. I like to include problems when possible.

[@artfahie9532]

I’m glad to see you’re back to doing more down to earth woodworking videos, all the personality stuff was fine, but there are so many guys trying to be everybody’s best friend it’s starting to get crazy. I purchased that dowel plate because of you, it’s nice to see you working with it like that. Great job

[@WoodByWright]

Thanks. Not quite sure what you're saying is this is usually the type of video I have on this channel. I have a second channel where I do a lot of other teaching and live videos. With this channel is all about the easy watching.

[@artfahie9532]

I can’t locate the link to your other channel.... can you please forward it....

[@tlange5091]

I like to see little details like you starting a sawcut and using different techniques. It is something to hear and see you explain things in a dedicated video, it is something else to see how you work on a regular. Which is the same I still like to find little details to think about. And I do practise from time to time. In short, thank you for your videos!

[@WoodByWright]

Thanks. That's why I like having both channels. Some people like one way and some people like it the other way

I am sure you have answered this many times what brand of carving tools do you recommend and what would you buy first small set that doesn't break the bank would be great.

[@WoodByWright]

It really depends on your budget, but do not buy anything cheaper then $10 a chisel. those will only end in tears. usually I say Schaaf is the best bang for the buck. also I generally tell people to buy the chisels as you need them as most sets are only a best guess. Start with a mid sized V-tool and a bench chisel. then from there buy the gouges that match the profiles you want to create. most people buy a set and use the V-tool, the straight edge and one or two gouges, and then they compline the gouges they have do not fit what they want to carve. if you really do want to buy a whole set then this is about the best beginner set I can recommend for the price. amzn.to/3v9u9Qd

[@TaylerMade]

if you clamp a piece of scrap across the end grain you won't blow out the end when using the router plane. to easy to do with such a small lip.

[@timothymallon]

I have a serious question for you. What do you recommend for V gouges and other gouges? I have a very difficult time finding any. Years ago, When I was young and naïve, I bought a set of chisels from those traveling tool sale tractor trailers that used to show up in grocery store parking lots during the summer and had bought a set of "Cummins Tools" chisels. They were garbage, but I had managed to make a couple of them work over the years. Whenever I look for gouges, all I find is very cheap stuff, meant for carving in clay or balsa, and little to nothing else. It doesn't seem that Stanley or other major makers seem to make them. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

[@WoodByWright]

Here are the cheapest ones I recommend kzbin.info/www/bejne/anbOcod7pLZ7n9U

[@warpfly6318]

Great vid can i ask where did you get the printable template ie source material ty

[@WoodByWright]

I just used Google image search and adjusted the image in paint to print it out the size I wanted.

[@scottsimpey2965]

I really like the little details that you include in your videos like making the small cuts with the marking knife before start to cut the the wood and how you mark all the way around. That is something that I haven’t thought to do but would really help me get squarer cuts on the occasion that I do make a cut by hand. Where did you get your dowel plate? Great video.

[@WoodByWright]

Thanks. That means a lot. I'll keep him coming. The style plate comes from DFM to works. I think there's a link in the description I'll have to go look at that.

[@usaf4dbt]

Real nice! I heard a rumor that you are working on a hole magnet? You'll be able to move misplaced hole in wood to the correct location! Will it also work in plywood and MDF?

[@VORONM]

With these chips on the wood, the product looks even more old.

[@gebhardt244]

Oh man he uses Germany made carvingtools.... Hello from Germany

[@MCsCreations]

Germany makes some fantastic stuff! 😊 Hello from Brazil! 🖖😊

[@davidlittle7182]

This is very good, but I'd expect the dowel diameters to be in runes

[@MJ-nb1qn]

Get a set of transfer punches, save the bits for drilling.

[@ralphvanthoff]

Genuine that you left that chipped edge, but honestly I would have used a router for that top surface 😂

[@kents.2866]

I mean, he did use a router, just not electrically powered.

[@karl_alan]

He might too if not for the show. He's said in the past that he does have power tools and finds them quicker, but the format of this show is handtool woodworking, and he likes that this is something he can do with the kids around.

[@alleinsein_istnicht_leicht6276]

Thx ))

[@wolfman75]

[@doedeldidoedelda]

I wish there would be dowel plates available to buy in Europe 🙄. But apart from that, nice box!

[@metodemersic]

Or you could just make it? Its much cheaper. ;)

[@doedeldidoedelda]

@@metodemersic Yeah, I have in fact bored some wholes in a thick cast iron plate. But I didn't like the result very much at all. Maybe my stock was too dry though (20 year old oak) or unsuited (spruce)...

[@MCsCreations]

Beautiful work, James! Nicely done! 😃 Unfortunately I can't find those plates here in Brazil... But I'm going to keep searching! 😊 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@WoodByWright]

He ships internationally. Also you can very easily make them yourself. I have a video showing that.

[@MCsCreations]

@@WoodByWright Oh, I'm going to look for it! Thanks! 😃
