It's so easier, faster, and cheaper for me to take all my sharpies to a near by carpenter shop and have them sharpen the lot for few bucks. You're exhibiting tools, machinery, and gadgets worth a wealth to make an artizan's point. I felt I'm watching a Spealberg's movie.
I had the same result you had on the first part while blasting the alu with beads , did you used the sand on the first part also on other materials ? maybe steel ?
Ingenious as usual from this channel.. Simple project which works, and I can do at home.. In fact, with Japanese plane I have biggest problem is remove properly part to sharpen.. Please, please.. 🙏Some universal portable workbench, for horizontal and vertical wood fixing, removable legs, and possibility to place in the middle electric router, electric plane, with rails and/or holes? All solutions on utube has some "but".. Many thanks for your production. ❤️
I fixed a toilet today with a rubber band. When I showed my father what I did, he said to me that he would have never thought of the rubber band idea. I can’t say that I actually had this innovation come to me by way of my own capacity. Because I’ve watched your channel regularly, and religiously, for so long, I’m partial to let you take the credit for my toilet invention. And now, I think I had better buy some chisels. I’ll probably need some Jack planes soon, too…
All good tips, as a retired toolmaker spent many hours sharpening drills by hand. Always thinned the web it can be done with the edge of the grinding wheel. Only tip I saw that should always be avoided is the drilling of sheet metal, never hold it with your hand clamp it down. Had a toolmaker off almost a year after a piece grabbed and climbed up the bit and sliced his hand open.
"the drilling of sheet metal" Well... Making holes sheet metal with a conventional two flute drill was never considered a clever thing to do, and a common piece of advice for drilling in general is "You can hold the workpiece by hand if you can break the drill bit by hand... A good basic rule... The problem with drilling sheet metal with a twist drill is that the point penetrates the material before the lip corner enters the material, so there's nothing supporting and centralising the drill bit. That's why you get oddly shaped holes, when drilling sheet metal. (that, and badly off hand sharpened drill bits... Anyway... If a more suitable tool is not available... (Rotabroach, Rotobor, hole saw, punch laser, other) Try "rag drilling" set up your drilling machine correctly to position the hole where you want it, and start drilling, but don't penetrate, leave a dimple, then... get some squares of rag. (Denim's good ) a bit bigger than the hole size, and interpose them between the drill bit and the workpiece, then drill. The rag will fill the drill clearance, offering 1) radial support to the drill and 2) resistance to the drill's "pulling in" to the workpiece. On that last issue... use the drilling machine's quill clamp as a brake, to avoid "pulling in" There's always a bit of backlash in the quill's rack and pinion drive. I have used, in the absence of denim, emery cloth, which works, but doesn't do drill bits any favours... No one else remember "rag drilling"?
@@robertlawson8572 my whole point was based on the size of the bit and piece of metal being drilled in the video. I worked as a toolmaker for 40 years managing build and stamping operations. we made shims for punches and die sections by the thousands each year. you can avoid the accident by using safe measures. a clamp is a good safety measure. even a step drill is much better for drilling clean holes in sheet metal but when it grabs the work piece and you are holding it by hand lookout! Fingers don't grow back, just wanted to bring to peoples attention when i see a potential accident about to happen. remember there are lots of people that see a youtube video and think that it's a best practice to use when they go to do something. just my 2 cents.
I saw it first all in kanji (like this one)which I skipped. I'm not into mystery vids but later saw the title in English and I still skipped it as I have all the sharpening jigs I need, and your projects are made of expensive components which are high quality but detract from my original purpose of woodworking. I'd rather spend money on beautiful wood than on expensive jigs. If you look around RU-vid there are many other jig makers with PDF's that completely explain everything with components made of wood etc.
