A joy to watch your videos as usual. Your workshop makes a great backdrop in the videos as well. Always inspiring and I admire your imagination to keep coming up with great ideas and designs. Well done YRTi.
Thank you, mate! So far, I've been making things I want/need but it's getting harder and harder to come up with a new project idea.. but it's fun so I some how manage to do it:) hope you are doing well!
I was watching this pottery documentary a while back where the master potter stated that one of the first steps you have to take when going from a novice to a journeyman is to make your own tools instead of borrowing from others or buying them, and I can **easily** see that same philosophy while watching your videos. Now to be fair, pottery has a lot less tools than woodworking lmao, but I think the concept still stands
Thank you! I'm so honored. In reality, aside from the fact I'm cheap and I don't want to buy tools, I like making a tool so I can learn about the tool. There are always new finds and it fun:)
Hi Danny, Thank you for the comment. I'm glad you found it helpful! Accu Burr is so easy to have a consistent result but the normal burnisher isn't as difficult as I thought.
Thank you for the plaque! Yes, Accu Burr works well. I like it but knowing it's $40 and only the usage is to make the burr on a card scraper, I'm not sure if it's worth but the burnisher also cost me $30+ ... Things are too pricy for me.
@@YRTi Yeah, that's my biggest hangup on it too,, it feels expensive for what it is. Maybe I'll just stick with my normal burnisher (I finally upgraded from just a screwdriver a year or two ago lol)
@@MosquitoMade maybe none of my screw drivers are hard enough but yeah, you have lots cool tools so Accu Burr will be a good addition to your collection!
Yay, a new tool vid!! I love hand working my wood projects, and you're a provider of most of my tool and project ideas. Thank you for sharing your years of experience and hard earned lessons with us all. The beginners like me really appreciate it! (Plus watching your hand techniques is SO helpful for me to try and replicate!) Looking to you for hand making a kumiko lamp.
Thank you! I started woodworking less than 2 years ago as a hobby so I actually don't have many years of experience. I'm still far from craftsmanship but the good thing is, as long as you keep your motivation to make what you want to make, you can make it at least at my level sooner or later...
@@YRTi Maybe buy the blade, make a handle and explain people how and what it's used for, or make the rough shaping out of some similar forged steel. Love the vids.
I never understood the purpose of the card scraper. When I would search online, it wasn't really clear. Does it replace sandpaper in traditional woodworking?
Thank you for the comment and oh, me neither, haha. I plan to use this to clean the surface of figured wood if I have a difficulty of doing hand plane to finish. I think sandpaper can replace the card scraper if you sand a surface from a low grit to high grit but the card scraper can't replace sandpaper for its versatility. However, you can sharpen the card scraper again and again to reuse it. That's what I like about it:)
