Great idea. I spent an hour getting the length right! I have some Chinese useless sanding belts with overlapping joints for a Sheppach linisher. They now have a use. I used a piece of Ash straight grained and about 1/8” thin. All simpler with machinery. I cheated. It would have taken me a week with hand tool. Another great video. Keep them coming. 👍👍👍

@whittysworkshop982 2 года назад

Cuttin grooves is by far the best part of hand tool work 😁🤙

@duncescotus2342 4 года назад

A good pair of forged scissors is a fine tool. Cut sandpaper from the back with a utility knife. You can turn a belt inside out. Great tool idea.

@robertberger8642 7 месяцев назад

Yep, I need to make this. Thanks for this great video!

@TheWoodYogi 6 лет назад

Great intro James :) Superb idea using a sanding belt, I need to make a few of these :) ॐ

@WoodByWright 6 лет назад

Thanks Man. I can not for the life of me remember where I got the idea for that but it is a fun tool.

@chriswhalen4498 6 лет назад

Thanks, this is a good project I can do in my den during our cold winter. It’s already below freezing out in my shop so I’m hibernating inside where it’s warm.

@PaleDogToolCo 6 лет назад

I love that size. It's like the No. 5 1/2 of bow sanders!

@WoodByWright 6 лет назад

LOL something like that!

@bothann 6 лет назад

Really enjoyed this video, James. I like the way you blend basics with making something useful. Good job!

Great idea, seems to be very handy device.

@dennisgonyier9542 5 лет назад

Nice follow up to your plane tote video. Have a serviceable 605 Stanley in need of new tote and knob. Will be following in your footsteps soon. Thanks for that education!

@WoodByWright 5 лет назад

Thanks Dennis! looking forward to seeing your work!

@Mikhandmaker 6 лет назад

+Mikhandmaker thanks man.

@rick91443 6 лет назад

Amazing James, you're a mind reader. EVERY TIME you use your bow sander I forget to ask you to do a video on it....Let's try an experiment. I am thinking of THE OTHER video I want you to make.....lol...cheers...rr

@WoodByWright 6 лет назад

it will be out in a couple hours! trust me Richard! it is EXACTLY what you want LOL

@gregmislick1117 Год назад

I dunno Man, my table saw is a lot of fun. I mean, it's like going into battle where life and limb are on the line...really gets the blood flowing! Ironically, and thankfully, the only saw I've ever hurt myself on was a hand saw (cut may hand - I suppose it was only doing what it was built for....) But hand sawing is fun, won't argue that. (but I enjoy sanding also, so my opinion is probably suspect at best)

@willemkossen 6 лет назад

Yes, i love bow sanders. I need to make a few more. My style bow sander works with sandpaper that does not come in belt shape. I want wet'n'dry sandpaper so i can sand on the lathe with oil. That prevents so much dust from flying.

@WoodByWright 6 лет назад

+Willem Kossen fun idea

@CharlesCorbett 3 года назад

"get a table saw!" But my Disston D8 custom recut and sharpened by bob page is nice, effective, far less likely to hurt me, and makes really really clean cuts

@gregu4791 6 лет назад

Glad to see you get that ryoba saw out!

@WoodByWright 6 лет назад

+Giz U I try to use one in most projects.

@KateMondor 6 лет назад

Fantastic run of content recently, James! I’ve loved the whole lathe project, & the bench before that. I don’t know how you find the time. Bravo! X

@WoodByWright 6 лет назад

thanks Katie. I am looking forward to going back to 3 a week. but it has been a fun experement

@toniharkins5967 6 лет назад

The important lesson I've taken away from this and your bow compass video is, don't overthink, over-plan or over-execute. You've got a good idea what you want and how fancy or precise it needs to be, so you just give yourself some wiggle room and have at it. That's what makes it fun, and probably builds confidence, amiright?

@WoodByWright 6 лет назад

Man, I could not have said it better myself. you hit the heart of this channel. that is what makes this sport so fun. there is no wrong way to do it just do what makes you smile!

@robertbrunston5406 5 лет назад

@albertomuniz1822 6 лет назад

It will be a great treat indeed if you can share the build with us!

@benfox9382 4 года назад

damn, i couldve used one of these on a build i'm just finishing...! will defo make one, cheers!

@jimwilliams2682 6 лет назад

As always, great! What about a video showing us newbies the other grooving methods? I know that would help me a lot!

@WoodByWright 6 лет назад

That is a great idea! I will have to look at that.

@BrewerShettles 3 года назад

Great!!!!

@Dewelful 6 лет назад

Groovy!

@WoodByWright 6 лет назад

LOL yup!

@SARSteam 3 года назад

Wow, nice work especially on the plane knob. I am hooked on this bow sander but I will probably have to experiment with different wood types for the bow... btw: Just a non-woodworking tip. Please burn that little black statue you have in your workshop... It is a bad thing and I am talking from experience ...

@r.parker1933 4 года назад

You may already use this, but an alternative to double-sided carpet tape is the "making tape super glue trick." Carpet tape leaves a terrible residue. However, if you place a piece of masking tape on each face that need to be secured, and then put a few dots (or a line, depending) of super glue between the two strips of masking tape, it will secure almost immediately. It holds better than carpet tape and releases without any residue (unless you use too much super glue and it seeps past the edges of the tape).

@WoodByWright 4 года назад

Yep. I use that one from time to time. Have a good friend that absolutely loves that one and uses it extensively.

@opasworkshop8373 6 лет назад

@scootscoot2k 6 лет назад

I think you have given me the hand tool bug, I found myself heading to the bandsaw before deciding to use my pull saw. Do you have any recommendations on starter low cost western saws? The only ones I can find are the crappy universal saws.

@WoodByWright 6 лет назад

thanks Scott that means a lot. for new saws, the only "cheap" option I recommend is the saws from Veritas. they feel great and they work perfectly and for the price, you can not beat them. other than that restoring old saws is the only way to go, but back saws are almost impossible to find.

@BobBlarneystone 6 лет назад

Hmm, a nice assortment of planes, and it's the first time that I've seen anyone use a 55. Since they're so rare, what would be a useful alternative?

@WoodByWright 6 лет назад

you could make a plow plane or a groving plane. I have a couple videos on that. or you could just use a chisel and cut it out. or you could saw either side with a saw then remove the waste.

@adamwilson4834 5 лет назад

There's also a couple other Stanley combo planes. The 50 is the one I was just gifted, I'm hoping to get a set of cutters to go with it soon

@thomasarussellsr 6 лет назад

You keep talking about how you could use a bench hook. What is that, could you show it and how it's used? I am new to woodworking in general, and can't put a picture with the tool name. Thanks.

@WoodByWright 6 лет назад

I just realized I have never made a video about a bench hook. I should do that. thanks man! you might see it in the next few days.

@ForemanMade 6 лет назад

I've never heard of wood curls being called fluffy 😆

@WoodByWright 6 лет назад

@cobberpete1 6 лет назад

Yes, I think I might have a go at making a couple.. BTW... Shave Horse???? Is that a subtle hint at a new project?? You've definitely been watching too much of Shannon ;0

@WoodByWright 6 лет назад

+Peter Compton lol it is on the list. I will probably make a pony like Shannon.

@rpederse 6 лет назад

James, in several recent videos, you’ve mentioned “knife walls”. I’m not a woodworker, but I’m curious and Googling wasn’t successful. At some point could you talk briefly about that?

@WoodByWright 6 лет назад

+Bob Pedersen that might make a good video. A knife wall is a marking knife cut that the saw can ride in it also protects from tear out by the saw.

@rpederse 6 лет назад

Wood By Wright Ah! I see. Thank you.

@jennessalynam7682 11 месяцев назад

Could aged hickory work for making the bow? Or how about not aged beech?

@WoodByWright 11 месяцев назад

Sure. Both of those work

@jennessalynam7682 11 месяцев назад

@@WoodByWright Thanks. I made one out of not aged beech 🤣 and it came out pretty well. It does what it's intended for.

@anthonyoltmann3721 6 лет назад

Wait...you know what sandpaper is? I thought you just used a smoothing plane on everything.

@WoodByWright 6 лет назад

LOL ya it is what you get when you use a plane on a sharping stone. thin strips of sharpening stone!

@anthonyoltmann3721 6 лет назад

The radius on the end caps can be varied so one side is fat for larger radius sanding and the other is smaller for tighter curves.
