My channel is part of a journey of discovery in the things i love, working with passion and dedication; cultivating a strong mental attitude whilst growing in skill and knowledge.
I can only hope to be an inspiration to others, to help motivate you to try new things, to push yourself to grow and expand your perspective and attitude in life, to find that thing that makes you smile by working with your own hands.
What you’ll see on the channel will be woodworking, metalworking, tool making, restoration, general making, creating and tinker.
If I can do it so can you, you must believe in yourself and push yourself out the box of comfortability and you’ll see what’s out there and maybe discover something new something life changing, you’ll never know unless you take that step.
I hope you enjoy my content as I push myself to create entertaining, educational and inspiring videos.
@@Mr_Tenko yeah definitely ran out already, I’d love to extend it again but there’s just no room in the garden. The amount I could extend it doesn’t justify the build. I’d need planning permission and I don’t want to go through that. Am happy with that I’ve got.
I have similar chisels, and I'm just working on replacement handles for them. The only thing I've done differently is I've got rid of the ridge on the back (just in front of the ferrule) so you can sharpen the entire chisel without hitting it on the ridge.

You can get heat shrink sleeving that will make your electrical connections look much nicer. Just keep it far enough away from the soldering. a selection of 300+ varied pieces is under £4. You can also shrink pieces around allen keys so they don't get lost so easy. p.s. I felt a wave of dread when I saw your hands passing so close to the circular saw.
@@Hereford1642 thanks for the comment, yeah your right, I did recently pick up a box of heat shrink sleeves. But yeah don’t worry yourself I’ve still got all my finger lol.
Get yourself a bottle of dychem marking blue. Brush it on your metal and then scribe your marks. So nice and clear. Easy to clean off too. Also, did you get hit with any customs duty to pay with it coming from China?
@@Hereford1642 hey man yeah recently picked up the right marking stuff but no never got any custom duty £££, I paid for it on eBay and a week later it turned up and the DRO is still working as it should, a must have for a mill and lathe, still need to get one for my lathe lol
@@job38four10 hey yeah works great, I made it here’s a video of that>>> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rxqygLcs4Gg.htmlsi=kJ6oKp-WE8oQLS_Q
First 20 years or so of my life, I lived near Redditch, Worcestershire. Milwards needles have been based in Redditch since the 1600s - the history is fascinating and well worth looking into - the best paid job was needle sharpener - they earned more than doctors (but rarely lived beyond 30 years old) - they used water mill driven whetstones, no safety gear, so the constant spray of grinding dust and metal debris into their faces clogged up their lungs or blinded them - even so, they resisted all attempts to improve safety conditions, because they didn't want to reduce their wages.
13:27 I don’t know if it would have helped with such a small piece but NYCCNC has a video where they use super glue and painters tape to hold thin parts in a mill. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-r6DCvtcU8_M.htmlsi=ExYffbFeooxuTJFr
This is such a fun addition to your workshop, I enjoyed watching immensly. Such good detail you should be proud each time you check to see if it's tea time yet 😊
Brilliant idea, Daren. I've got a rack with screwdrivers, chisels, and all sorts, nightmare at times. At least this lets you keep all the pliers in one place. Great project from scrap pieces 👏 👍🏻
That's a really nice result. Using more value in brass than the chisels cost is quite funny, though. I use cheap chisels at work, spend time sharpening them, then some git pulls one out of your toolbag and starts attacking plasterboard with it.
This was a fun video. As you said at the start, my biggest concern was the quality of the steel. It looked like you could cut it pretty easily with a file which shouldn’t be possible with good quality hardened steel (as far as I understand). You mentioned you thought it was 20-30 rc which was surprising to me, is that Rockwell or some other unit? Good chisels are usually 58+ Rockwell from what I undertand. But when you used it, it seemed to hold an edge for at least a little while, so it must not have been that soft (or I really don’t understand the Rockwell scale). I think it was James Wright who did a really extensive chisel test and tested some Aldi brand chisels that actually performed pretty well, I’m not sure if it was these ones. But maybe the steel isn’t quite as bad as we would expect? You mentioned case hardening but I was wondering if you might try to retemper it and make them a bit harder. I dunno if that would cause other problems though, like making them more brittle and prone to chipping? Anyway, that would be neat to see if you try it someday.
I have a 5 piece set of Aldi chisels, but they have wood handles out of the box. I sharpened them similar to how you did and they’re fine. I wrap the full length of the blades with cardboard and put tape around that and to close off the end to make sleeves to prevent the blades from getting banged around and dull.
@@Darren_Barclay I think its cool,infact I was thinking of trying that but then again I still want to use it mainly as a metal lathe,I just wonder if it would cause issues with clean up?
@@mrlikwid100 na I wouldn’t worry or overthink it, it’s a tool use it as you see fit, don’t allow tool purist to spoil your fun use it with wood same as metal, I’ve made a tool rest so you can use chisels, it just sit a bit of steel in the old 4 way tool post, after each use just vacuum everything up and wipe it down with some oil, if you’ve got a compressor blow some air in to the chuck and you’ll be golden, if you can spare it just keep a separate chuck for turning wood, I do plan on getting a cheap one just for that.
