Really fantastic videos Ben! I’m a beginner, in fact I actually I’m more of a blacksmith than a woodworker. I am retired now after 45 years as a welder/fabricator. Now I get to spend the rest of my life make for people anything they need!
The most straightforward video I have seen to date on forging hook tools! In the process myself of slowly getting together the things for a very basic blacksmithing setup (very incremental with family and work stuff, but chipping away here and there when I can), the goal being to make my own woodworking tools eventually - pole lathe hook tools are on the list of projects, so thank you!
Ben sounds amazing hopefully when I get good on the old whole life and try and do a bowl I’ll be after one of these tools. But it sounded amazing the noises whilst listening to this reminds me of when I was at school for metalwork classes when we used to use the Forge
I made some for my spring pole lathe but I couldn't gnt one for cleaning out the bottom of the bowl. Haven't gotten back to it as you know..... to many irons in the fire.
