[@johnisaacs1938]

This kit is going to be an amazing starter kit for someone. I'm expecting my first child and I'd love to get into woodworking as an activity to share with him. Wanna teach him the value of hard work and doing your best.

[@connor1186]

1:19 "well thats not 50, but uh" actually that was exactly 50. Good muscle memeory.

[@jerrycrafton7525]

My favorite you tube channel. Thank you Wranglerstar for not only picking out great tools but showing us how to sharpen them and how to use them.

[@iSK8girL96]

Hi Cody- thanks to your videos on chisels, I was able to correctly sharpen my grandfather's chisels! I greatly appreciate the time and effort you put into the content in order to provide everyone with valuable information, and I also greatly appreciate your videography skills- your variety of shot selections and editing skills do not go unnoticed!

[@noldynights]

Making a nice wooden box to hold the stone would be a great project as you could use the chisels to mortise out the lid and the base to securely fit the stone

[@ronkennedy4494]

I just want to say thank you for doing videos like this, for alot of folks its just not feisable to buy tools to try out and then find out its not up to the job and now you dont have the money to replace it with something else, so thank you and may God bless you and your family!!!

[@Ghost_Os]

I've been a bit dismissive of Irwin tools in the past. Might be time to give them another look...

[@RockyMountainBear]

Out of all the money I have wasted on sharpening stones, my favorite is a stone I found in my backyard. I don't know how, but nature made two perfectly flat sides. It sharpens so beautifully too.

[@dannythorne9761]

Cool

[@trumpet3125]

“Speaks for it-self”. Better words were never spoken. Thanks for your videos, I’ve learned a lot and can’t wait to learn more!

[@ShadowNetBG]

Help! Help! I can't stop re-watching Wranglestar videos!

[@MikkosFree]

We should start a support group. WVAA. Wranglerstar Video Addicts Anonymous.

[@zebady999]

38 mm "don't know what that means " clasic

[@sofiatgarcia3970]

Try a wee bit over 1 1/2''

[@rmacfizzle]

I work as a heavy equipment operator but didn't grow up in a hands on working mans household so I'm learning everyday thanks to what I learn at work and from guys like you! So thank you for the detail and care you put in your videos

[@kevinyoungblut]

I like the idea of a old belt for a strop.

[@nowhereusa]

or you go to a leather supply store and find a random offcut. You can get a small piece pretty damn cheap and cut it to the size of wood you want. I got random piece to make holsters for knives and guns and used the leftovers for strops.

[@susieq9186]

Hey nowhereusa... you are giving me ideas. mmm.... wonder if my husband would mind if I started cutting up that leather hide folded up in our closet. I sure could use some holsters for knives. My husband is retired and doing nothing but eating, watching TV and playing cards. I think I'll put a bug in his ear to see if he has any interest in doing something like that. Thanks again nowhereusa!

[@nowhereusa]

Susie Q it's pretty easy to do some. if you do a gun or knife wet the leather and wet form it around the item. make sure your wrap it to make it water proof(or you'll have a very unhappy husband). I used press and seal worked pretty well. form it, leave it to dry with the item in place and then sew it up.

[@jzahirniak]

I find a thinner piece of leather works better than the thicker type...gives less. Good place to get some is a shoe repair or upholstery shop.

[@YOSHIZERO]

Old belt or some old boot leather. Hit up your local thrift store and find something that no-one else wants and tear it apart.

[@stevecobert8411]

I've been picking up old belts and harnesses at auctions for years, they have unlimited re-uses

[@Readysetbuild1]

Sharpening stone!!!! Nothing is forgotten when we got Mr. Wranglerstar on the job :)

[@Hoysoyyepable]

I appreciate all the knowledge you share with us

[@Master_of_Nun]

The chisels look really nice. I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the combination square.

[@magicrobharv]

Ryan Soderholm I agree. Combo square info is something I'm interested in. Which one Cody thinks is accurate.

[@psychopyro94]

is the combination square the same things as the speed square or is it a totally different tool? i work in framing construction so i use a "speed square" everyday but iv heard the term combo square. idk if they are the same thing :P young guy here trying to learn

[@shrimpoido84]

BrigadeFuhrer94 the combination square has the adjustable ruler in it and is in two pieces where your speed square is just a triangle.

[@TheOlsonOutfit]

cheap combination squares can be a bit off. If price is important, maybe just get a fixed square. (And test it before you buy it)

[@sammyblackchow9541]

They sure can. I've never seen one that was dead on. Check the blade on a cheap combination square too. Some are really sad. The markings were off and the edge not straight. Still might be good enough for non critical work.

[@johnchampion7819]

Good for the price. They'll work well, but may need sharpening a bit more often than more expensive chisels. I've just bought an Irwin block plane for under £20.00 and once the base was flattened and the blade sharpened properly, it worked a treat.

[@cartergjenkins]

Keep the great material coming! I sure would love this kit! I know I don't have a channel but my son does:

[@heathhenry6106]

I know what you mean about the kit. Looks like a fine entry level tool kit!

[@zacharybarlow3960]

Great info and that's really neat that they include such a good mallet. Great content! God bless

[@Sputnik2914]

I did not realize how important a hard wood mallet is for wood chisels. And I am impressed with the candor of his comparison with his expensive chisels. I am very interested in the sharpening stone. I have bought the round one for axes and hatchets, but this one is very tempting. Good, informative video. God Bless

[@scrfirefighter]

Nice video WS. How does someone know what show to go to so we can get a pencil? Keep up the good work.

[@JeffroDH]

Art F. I'm also interested in finding the Ticonderogas. I currently use a Ticonderoga standard #2 in the shop, never considered that they might make carpenter's pencils too

[@dwightehowell8179]

Go to Amazon.com and search for Ticonderoga carpenters pencils. They will pop up. The best deal they have is $8.30 for six with free shipping. Seems kind of high but these things last a very long time and yes they are much better than most lead pencils. Most modern lead pencils are pure crap. I'll pay the difference any day.

[@countrypete]

www.amazon.com/Dixon-19972-Carpenter-Pencil-Black/dp/B000GARZFW $7.99

[@addisonnapier2125]

Could you use tooth paste as compound?

[@xabibilboful]

Some Guy good point! I saw one guy polishing his car lights with toothpaste. We use the equivalent of a P4000 sandpaper diamond paste in the laboratory to achieve a mirror grade surface in steel samples, buf it's like 40 bucks for 15mL, so that's not worth it for sharpening.

[@timothycorcoran36]

Autosol works good. I have never tried stropping with toothpaste but i think Autosol or chromium oxide is cheaper. But, if you're in a pinch toothpaste would probably work.

[@StephenButlerOne]

Xabier GG tooth paste works great for getting rid of 'milkyness' on older head lights. Bi carb and white vinegar mix works best.

[@HoneyHollowHomestead]

Good to know! I'll have to try that, as soon as it warms up. ;)

[@joey7422003]

Yeah in a pinch I prefer Wenol it comes it two different grits. www.amazon.com/Wenol-Polish-Shiner-Surface-Protection/dp/B00JAL1BIU

[@ronwest3883]

Excellent audio and video with no distractions such as music in the background. Down to earth honest comparisons and opinions.

[@MichaelStoneham]

38mm is 38 milimeters. The superior, widly used around the world, metric system

[@thewishingpig]

[@Frankx298]

Michael Stoneham - He knows what it is lol. He makes fun of the metric system in a lot of his videos.

[@wesleykrol7226]

dear mr&mrs wranglerstar, first off, i love all of your vids and they have helped me a lot with loads of things the last 1.5/2 years. i have gotten more into axes, thanks to you i know how to sharpen them better and keep them good. and i started doing a lot of stuff in my own shed, like make a new wood place, restore my old shed and make it into a woodshop/allround shop all thanks to you! the only problem is i dont have much good tools, i have a couple decent saws and some basic stuff but no good chisels, planes, stuff like that. i am a 18 year old dude from the netherlands and i have learned so much from.your vids. and i would love to have such luck to win this toolbox! it would really complete my woodshop. thanks again for all the great vids and how much you have helped with not only the things i already said, but also with getting through some rough times in my life. im really greatfull for that. cheers, Wesley Krol

[@GarnetFluerDeLys]

So I love this series about common mans tools. At 13:08, his comment about being all beat up makes them just about perfect.

[@snibushds]

I am getting ready to move to Macau China and was trying to figure out what tools I want to take with me. Your toolkit videos have helped me think this through. I can afford what you have shown so far. I learned that the mallet does not have to be so big. I have seen the Irwin chisels. Nice to know they are of such good quality and have a history behind them. Thank you.

[@doug3739]

Glad you like Paul also. I find his videos on woodworking mesmerizing.

[@htmagic]

Thank you for the instructional video. I always put the chisel the wrong way when I started off. Thank you for the explanation. I will start using my chisels the correct way and now I know how to sharpen them as well.

[@TheAbrahamLincoin]

Regardless of the tool kit video, I really appreciate the in depth discussion on sharpening and tuning your hand tools. Good Video!

[@ramonfa424]

Each day I have seen more and more positive feedbacks about Irwin's tools in general. Looks like this company really cares about a high quality products...

[@tippyscanoe]

Brand Loyalty is common among tradesmen. It seams like your loyalty was questioned. It's a tough to be proven wrong or realize a past decision could have been different w/o bias. Thank you for the honesty and truth you bring to the channel.

[@MBFDBC]

I purchased a set up Narex chisels, b/c I didn't want to wait the month or so that these were calling for on Amazon. However, you're guiding us in the right direction...thank you!

[@DavidBarr9476]

Great info! I have a basic chisel set, and I need to go back and properly prepare them. I was one of those unfortunates who assumed a thing would be ready to use when I bought it...not so much. I picked up a $30 Kobalt bench plane at Lowes, and need to get the glass/sandpaper together for a proper tune up. It seems like the components are decent...we'll see. As always, thanks for the great content.

[@lukeschneider9315]

I would agree, those are the only sizes you need to get started. Glad to see they sharpened up nicely.

[@lukebrueggeman4861]

I like when you talk about the history of tools, or explain different variations of a tool based upon their intended uses.

[@mimitheninja3001]

I miss all the woodworking you were doing right after you made the Paul Sellers bench. It's nice to hear you'll be making a toolbox soon. I can't wait to see it

[@jamieb4517]

I'm so glad you are giving your honest opinions on each of these "budget tools." I have been slowly starting my tool kit and these are the tools I've been trying to pick out! THANK YOU!!

[@sofiatgarcia3970]

All my chisels are Marpole, except for my 5/8 and a duplicate 1'', which are Footprint. All are over 30 years old. ( I became a cabinetmaker 35 years ago) All are made of Sheffield steel and have plastic handles. I can barely tell the use on the handles and will hand them down to my grandchildren. I LOVE the plastic handles. Oh, and I've been using diamond hones for over 20 years. My touch up htone is 1000 grit.

[@darrellstewart9113]

Very valuable instructions for proper chiseling! I've done a lot of hinge mortising on my job sites as a handyman, and they rarely turn out as well as I would like. My next ones will be better for sure.

[@dr.figvideos3303]

Sharpened an old chisel in my shop after watching your videos. Came out great.

[@ladyb003]

Very nice chisel kit...and the mallet is a bonus. Thanks for what you do for us. Take care

[@TheAEsir9613]

Very excited to use these if I win. There's no better feeling than crafting with a good chisel.

[@johnprouty4644]

Again, thanks Cody. I think I covet the official Wranglerstar pencil above all so far. Chisels look awesome, excited to see it all come together and hope this heads my way........

[@JS-ph1kt]

these tools look absolutely amazing after hitting the belt. these tools look as if they are a wood workers best friend

[@ChildressFamilia]

Hi Cody. Great review of the Irwin chisels. My wife gifted me the set of Stanley Sweethearts for our anniversary a few years ago and I love them. I've not considered Irwin before. I don't need the chisel set from the video, I just wanted to give my appreciation for the work you do. I also noticed a few videos back that you're finally using a pusher when you do cuts on your table saw. I like to think my nagging is what drove you to that great idea. Take care.

[@boarsnest4562]

A tool is the right tool if it works! Fun series...nice to see hand tools getting due attention.

[@wepntech]

wranglerstar starter toolkit. i guess these could be a nice thing to assemble and sell a few of them. lots of people myself included would love these.

[@cv600rr]

Great video. In my experience cheaper edged tool will often take a sharp edge but they won't hold it. This sometimes means constant sharpening to maintain them.

[@HBButler01]

Cody could you do some videos in the future possibly on improving chisel skills or chisel basics? I've seen you use them many times in projects and small demonstrations, but like a "Chisel basics" video with special techniques you've learned, different tips, and maybe different types of specialty cuts would be a good back to basics video with hand tools to help us improve that skill. I also love the sharpening tutorials, plenty of detail and quite entertaining & educational! :)

[@JoePierceMaker]

I like that it comes with a mallet. The mallet I've been using is a rawhide mallet from my leather tooling kit.

[@bdwcrouse]

Thanks again for making these chisel videos. Very helpful. I'm going to go through the process with mine, and see if I can bring them back to life.

[@Joe0898]

its nice to see that there are companies out there still making good tools

[@FuzzyNaval]

The kit is coming together swimmingly!

[@paulbouwhuizen5463]

Addicted to this series. Just starting out in woodworking.

[@fisharmor]

I'm glad to hear the mallet actually adds value to the set.

[@themegatronic]

Wow, I never expected a kit of Irwin's from a big box store would've been so substantial in their metals, but I'm impressed... Plus the case and mallet are certainly a nice perk. Thanks for this series!

[@uliman100]

I have been a professional woodwoker for 25 years and the Marples blue chip or as you have there the Irwin / Marples have always been good value for money and ecconomical choice...they are great and keep a good edge...

[@MrStubug]

I like that you have that kid in a candy shop excitement to be trying out and helping someone get some real quality tools. Also thanks for your small segment and thoughts on the leather strop i'm going to go OP shop hunting to give some leather a second lease on life. Take care mate.

[@marik25]

They remind me of the blue handled Stanley chisels my dad has had forever. I think they are from the 70s or 80s and they have held up great over time.

[@richardobermark755]

Thanks for sharing the new chisel's you picked out. I don't think I would have ever given them a chance based on previous things I have bought from them in the past and was not impressed. For the price I think I might give them a try.

[@danielschultz7926]

Love the great example of being able to get quality tools at a beginner price.

[@timcastelow7016]

I bought the entire line of these and polished them to mirrors and love them. Amazing set alongside my restored 750 set.

[@preedivers1]

Appreciating all the tutorials you're giving with each tool in the kit you're building. I also really appreciate the love and attention you give to each little aspect of a tool. Thank you for sharing Cody!

[@GabbyBillNumberOne]

I'll be looking at the Irwin Chisels the next tome I need a new chisel.I really need to make up a stropping station for all the knives and tools I sharpen, great idea Cody!Gabby

[@DavidCharriez2010]

Thanks again for a fun video. I find myself doing exactly what you do when you talk about new tools; I almost talk myself out of my own purchase when I compare tools to mine.

[@upatreepete]

Watching your videos along with Paul Sellers' makes me realize what you can do with hand tools!

[@thenorthwestpreppers4457]

I love those Irwin chisels! they really think about there uses and don't cut corners where it counts... I really need a good layout knife... can't wait to see your pick! thanks for the video!

[@jonyoung3677]

Every since I found this channel I love watching it and it has has an inspirational life with it and I would love to have a tool set that inspired myself to owning one so god bless you and your family for a job well done I’m going to get on your store and go over everything I can read and look at what I can buy that I can add to my shop thank you wrangler star I enjoy watching everyday thanks again.

[@tobyleonard111]

I have been watching for over a year now, btw I love the videos. I am a fourteen year old boy that likes woodworking, but I don't have enough money to buy a stable kit. This kit would definitely help me out to grow my skill level.

[@matthewvanderhulst1308]

Awesome that the kit includes the mallet, great package!

[@haydenc9602]

This is sure going to be quite a nice set of tools. Can't believe one of us lucky folks will be able to own all of them! Love what you're doing and can't wait to see what new tools are to come. Keep up the wonderful work!

[@jcmcclellan82]

thanks for the lesson. always saw wood chisels as an obstacle when wanting to begin wood working. keep up the videos and thanks again

[@AndyRoche]

What a great addition to the kit. Can't wait to see what else you come up with for the woodworkers kit.

[@wasatron]

I'm learning tons watching your channel wranglerstar. Living here in Norway (though I'm from Scotland) most of your videos are pretty relivent for me. Keep up the great work and channel

[@jjadams22fb]

I can not wait for the marking tools. It will be interesting to see what you think is important.

[@kathleenzimmerman8227]

yes, YES YOU HAVE!!! I love that you are comparing tools as you go along, and with so much detail. I'ml earning alot about alot of different things. Love that, too! This kit is going to be a real blessing to the lucky winner! Love and Prayers

[@Kikilang60]

Thanks for taking time.

[@jeremeneff3806]

I have a marples Japanese saw. best hand saw I've ever used. I bought it for kutting under door jambs for flooring installs. Great tools. those chisels are next on the list.

[@1611_KJB]

There's one element of the Irwin chisels you didn't play up, perhaps because it's not part of the end game of assembling a tool chest, however, the set comes with a very, very nice durable plastic carrying case (which aslo happens to be well designed for storage).

[@vernonursenbach4937]

I tended to buy a new set of Stanley Sweetheart chisels due to your videos. I know, they are not Irwin and cost a lot more. When they came, though I like Irwin, the Stanley chisels I like much more, though my wife was not happy with the price. I'm a high school teacher and don't have much, but felt like I wanted to save time sharpening by doing it less. I love your videos. Thanks for showing good character. BTW, I hope the scratch on your hand is okay.

[@PKlan123]

Wranglerstar, keep the videos coming because this has been a really fun and interesting series. Thanks

[@godfirst188]

Good chisels are invaluable in any tool kit, great selection.

[@scttmtclf]

I was pleased to see that Irwin stayed to true to the old design and didn't cheap out on metal quality

[@JAYoung08231981]

A good set of chisels is definitely pretty high up on my list of the next tools I need to acquire.

[@SeanSquatchPNW]

Wasn't sure how those chisels were going to pan out. But I'll take your word for it. Definitely seems to be a good bang for the buck.

[@kevinstoop]

Don't worry about taking up my time stropping. I really appreciate the dedication you put into your content and would watch endlessly if I could. There is so much to learn from the videos you put out. Thank you. Could you put some of the stropping equipment in your Amazon store? The rouges would be helpful. Thanks!

[@Parnn8819]

I love that you can take lower end tools and put some work in them to make them much higher quality.

[@heathhall-muir2537]

The set of tools gets better for better value every episode, would be so great full to win it. Love the videos!!

[@NikeMS11]

There might be negative comments, but as far as I can see, these videos have been educational, as a new to woodworking student. Thank you.

[@turkeyjerky162]

I glued my old belt to a piece of scrap lumber and works great awesome idea. I'd love that set.

[@benchap24]

Stropping really makes a difference. Nice work.

[@rickgroshong250]

I was considering some chisels from a big box store that are nowhere near this quality but for not all that much less money. Glad I didn't pull the trigger yet.Thanks!

[@philipunderwood477]

good comparison of the higher end chisels vs the irwins. I grew up not far from the Norton stone factory in Worcester, MA and we have lots of these stones around. Great quality old school stones! Keep up the great work!

[@whatsoeverthingz]

this looks like a genuine set and the wet stone is a must have at that price.

[@brandond88]

Thanks for passing on some of your skills and knowledge to the rest of us.

[@stoneage1324]

Just returned the cheap chisels I had bought and got this set instead. The three pack without the mallet was $19.88 at Menards, what a deal!

[@severzero]

I have found that an old belt works great for all my sharp objects. Super easy to store too!

[@stevewalker7822]

I like this set as well. As a novice, I like your input.
