Woodworking with well sharpened hand-tools and selected power-tools. Keeping an eye on creating environmental friendly things.
Most wood comes from surrounding forests: Birch, Alder, Mountain Ash, Juniperus, Pine, Spruce, Populus and some Fruit trees from the garden or neighbours. From all these trees there might be very different material: bark, roots, straight or curvy wood, cancers, branches or mushroom patterned. Waht is not wood is mostly recycled.
All in all, "Selfmade" might describe my work the best.
one afternoon - a few hours - or in other words, it takes less time than going to a shop to buy this wood or order it in internet - specially when it comes to wood like hungarian lilac (not on sale anywhere) or the apple from own garden for example.
@@waldmensch-hy4ly true. But this is hard core, would have cut for one afternoon more with chainsaw than this way. Just my way, but i respect your way. All good
Beautiful 2nd floor. Time to add a huge picture window and a skylight since you should be moving the Master Bedroom Upstairs. Can't wait to see your Custom Hand Carved Staircase. Just Imagine. Heat rises and having the bed upstairs with a reinforced skylight and a grand picture window just as a beautiful snowstorm blankets the tundra. A Perfect Retreat to enlarge your family. 😘😘😘
The wonders of the three plate method, I would guess the three stones need to be of similar if not the same make and grit. Also what about the silicon carbide size, if the stones are finer do you need finer powder?
Yes, it works better with similar stones - hardness and grid. i only need the carbide when flattening the first time, when the stones are really not flat. Later, i just flatten them against each other without anything. And, if i have many different stones, i use this method for the coarser ones, and than just flatten the finer stones the already flattened coarse ones. hope this was helpful :-)
My Fein driller, i really like it - small, light but very strong. Even with the small 12 V akku, i go nearly the whole day. The four gears have been a good invention. Can really recommend it, specially for someone who is looking for something made in Europe (Machine from Germany, Akku from Poland, charger from Vietnam) I have never had a Maffel driller in my hands yet - so, i can't compare.
So, have you jettisoned the earlier dowel makers in favor of this plane method? At 3:20 it is clear the two screws differ. Which profile is the result of the adapted method? Did this adapted method require a new tap and a different profile on the cutter since the pitch has been reduced to 17mm?
Hello :-) -> Yes -> The one with the lower pitch -> I made al new. The cutter could maybe have been reused but i made one of better steel. Hope i could help you.
Excellent video. The stills at the beginning and the end of each video exude a peacefulness. I especially the soundtrack. Do you dress (resharpen) these blades from time to time. If so, that would make an interesting video highlighting the process and the tools used.
Hello and thanx for your feedback :-) Yes, sharpening is an essential art while woodworking - i do it regularly and found a way to enjoy it. If you are interested, i made a video called sharpen the unsharpenable - there might be something interesting about the topic.
I made many trails and found one oil (unboiled linoil) working the best for me. But not all unboiled linoils have been the same, so it seems, that making many trials (and errors) is the way to go...
Great results! Are there any plans for the bench and for the thread cutter introduced at 3:25? Also, what is the wood species that produces the best results for you?
No, there are no plans for these projects - i prefer to work free and follow the flow. I really like birch wood - it is easy to work, beautiful and long resting. That is waht has been used here for wooden threads in workbenches in the older days.
If no birch is available for you, i may add something: beside the wood to be hard, it is important that it is most possible uniform -> closed pores and possibly less intensive year-rings: Beach and Maple for example would be perfect but for example no Oak or Ash.
i buy them in feinewerkzeuge.de --> read the other comments, this topic has been discussed plenty times here and some have offered alternative addresses. Good luck :-)
Those are some robust, strong threads on that vise. I am seriously impressed with your skills. Amazing You may consider melting some wax and brushing it on the threads. What did you soak the blank in before you cut the threads? Was it Tung oil?
Hello Chris - after many trials i came to use raw linssed oil from a local brand. It seems to make a difference, even wich linoil is chosen. With wax, i have not tried. With our selfmade soap i made good experiences.
@@littleforest The melted wax will seep into the pores of the wood and will decrease the friction of the threads as they go through the nut, the less friction the less wear will occur and the screw on your vise with last generations. This is similar to waxing draw slides with a paraffin block so drawer have less friction, do not stick and are silky smooth to open and close
Wonderful instructions, but I still do not know at what angle to cut the two wooden blocks to hold the cutter blade. Just asking for a friend who wants to copy your creation 😊 .
That's the nice thing with self made things - you are free to choose! Steeper angle and the screw will close/open faster - lower angle and the screw will close/open more precisely. In other words, this angle is defining the TPI / Turn Per Inch.
hmm, bit early to say. But what i am sure: i am happy, that i took the decision to make this roof the traditional hand tool way - cause, it was fun :-)
