I love this! Thank you so much! Exactly the kind of thing i was thinking of. Im very amateur with woodworking and ths seems hard to mess up at least. If you wanted to put more shelves on the back so they could vlimb up yhe the peeky holes, or just shelves that were not holes in the tree, would you just put a long screw through the back and into the shelf (perpendicular to floor?)
Great job. Plan on doing something similar but with the shaft being one piece and the head being another piece of another color wood. What is shaft diameter before it starts to taper? I was looking at 1 inch or 1 1/4 inch.
I love this!! Thank you so much for sharing…I have been really looking for what we can do about a tree this year for our 5y old child without having the cats and the puppy tear the 💩 out of it😂😂😂
I had not heard of Roger’s passing. Do you have any information about this? I can’t seem to find an obituary. Sorry to hear of this. I have known Roger since the early 80’s but had lost touch. Thanks Chester Spier Take a look at my video if you like on the Stanley No 1
Aha! Had to watch it again to see what you meant! That is a little art collage Skip made out of wood, called "Moon over Miami" -- the title is framed just above it to the left. Thanks for noticing!
I would love to see more in this series of Planes , I only got my first Plane earlier this year and you have a incredible knowledge I hope you keep sharing .Thank you
Hi Cyndi, actually I got that at a yard sale years ago. It's kind of beat-up but is adjustable. I saw a brand new one yesterday at Hobby Lobby; it was $59 but you could probably use their 40% off coupon to get one...
I do think the no 1 and 2 planes were for children, but I would argue that the primary market was for apprentices and child labor in factories. If memory serves me in 1922 a national child labor law was passed. (Though many states had those type of laws already on the books) And at that point we started to see the BoE planes.
I like your Video..Nice..You might like my video on "Building a Log Cabin Birdhouse" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SYYOjy1AJ9g.html Check it out, If you like Please sub..Need to get 1k subs to monetized my channel..Thanks
I served a carpentry and joinery apprenticeship in 1962. I only used basic tools in those days because of their cost. I bought a No 1 plane a couple of years ago and to my wife's horror, I took it to my workshop, sharpened it and tried it. I found it a beautiful plane to use and were it not for its value I would use it all the time. It is not a toy nor a saleman's giveaway but a potentially practical plane. Thanks for the video
I know this comment is 1 year old but. For the love of god man, use it! hahaha. You will easily get the dollar value in enjoyment out of it, and if you look after it it will hold its value anyway, they have all had plenty of use in their 100+ year existence.
Yes, it was not easy to juggle all the different lengths at the same time to get them to have the same tautness. Much better, I think, if you wanted to do several at the same time, to make sure they are all the same length. But the platform that attaches magnetically around the throat plate flattens out the fabric around the sewing area enough, so the stitching on these wasn't bad.
An intresting observation is these machines could be used by vets or people in wheelchairs as there was bench legs you could fit your legs under while sitting.
go gators. I just found an #2 in great shape. Now I just have to find a good #1 and i will have them all. I have some old Railroad tools I am working on now. Is there any type of old tool collector clubs here in Florida that your aware of?
That beeping noise is the over speed alarm which means that you are quilting faster than the stitch regulator can keep up. One of the reasons for getting this machine is to use the stitch regulator so using manual mode isn't the best solution for quilting unless you don't need the regulation. The Q'nique and the Block RockiT 15 are the same machine only the Block RockiT 15 has the KathyQuilts.com logo on it. This is a mid arm machine and it does have 15 inches of throat space. The Grace Company makes both machines but KathyQuilts has had the Block RockiT for about a year longer than the Q'nique has been out. If anyone wants more information about this machine they should check out the Block RockiT to get a more in depth idea of what this machine can do. Thanks for making this video, wether you get the Q'nique Quilter or Block RockiT 15 it is a much more affordable option and better built machine than the competition. - Lynn
Have you considered trying to print a circular blank just a few millimeters larger than your barrel hole? Then you could cold water wet sand down to your guide bushings to keep the material from going soft. Try starting at about a 400 grit and work to a 1000 grit before switching over to your micro mesh polishing. I'm very interested in the quality of the final surface polish you could achieve.
+LINDA BROWN thank you, we are still in process with it, planning a drop-down leaf and having ironed-on melamine edging, but so far it's been very functional...thanks for taking a look!
I have a friend that uses a laser printer. He has run into a similar problem as the printer "hates short strokes" so instead he changes the orientation of the piece so that the printer makes long strokes (if you're a building horizontal pen blank. Also, if you are going to build vertically, why not build it round & maybe to a smaller dimension. As far as stabilizing the blank, why not design it with tiny holes formed in the build process? That would give the alumalite somewhere to go. Not to mention possible personalization as well. I'm not sure how that plastic will react to the heat generated by the resin or how well it will withstand the pressure. check with Zac over at NV Woodwerkz. Good luck, Jim
