Karl, having seen you and Rob Cosman use one of these for your making dovetail videos I’d assumed these must be the usually highly expensive bit of kit - so how great to both find this video now - and find that the knife is selling at £8.95. Thank you again for some great teaching moments.
Hi Matthew yes is a simple stanley craft knife, it's long enough to get in between most dovetails, has a bevelled edge which comes in handy for getting very close and is very sharp ask my finger lol 😆
Totally agree with regards a marking knife, likewise my high school woodwork teacher Mr Greenacre in 1975 taught me the little trick with using a chisel to remove the timber to make a kerf for the saw to cut across a shoulder. However I don't drive a chisel down square into the line as this would slightly move the line over, due to there being timber on the waste side which would cause resistance against the bevel.
Thank you Gary, yes totally agree I only tap very gently to add a little depth for the wedge to be removed and only on outside joints where this wouldn't open up the joint. Hope that makes sense 🙂
Hi Karl, always good to see you on here. I have the same knife, had it for a couple of years but have never used it. After watching this vid I will take it out of the drawer and keep it in my apron pocket, it makes sense. All the best, regards, Fred
Nice video Karl I've been using the exact same knife for a few years now and I totally agree with you also for me its a money well spent purchase as they are not to expensive and once used it soon becomes a default go to in your tool kit so more than earns its keep
Amazing video there m8 not sommit ive started doing yet but really need to been mm or 2 off few times recently looking forward dovetail masterclass. Hope you and the fam are good hope the Alf's doing better. 👍🏴
@@karlpopewoodcraft oh s**t not good m8 glad Alf is doing better although sucks u guys got that now. Not having good time it the now. Hopefully won't be to bad and speedy recovery. 👍🏴
@michaelwillson6847 Ye my granddaughter got it first she was walking round with her tongue hanging out for a week haha poor girl had blisters on her hands and feet. We just have the mouth blisters.
@@karlpopewoodcraft shit dude not good yea poor thing doesn't sound fun. Hope you all recover quickly. Also on separate note got big commission potentially coming next week. Could do with your advice been asked to do 4 planters 600 high 400 wide 3 at 1500 long and 1 at 2000 long would u recommend decking boards 2x4s or a 2x2 frame then clad style. Also they want it on castor's 👍🏴
I'd use decking boards and do them like this, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-X6Ij5AopkfI.htmlsi=6jaljyHaIDf5_ZO3 It's the second planter, then no need for a framework, I've seen them at my local pub done this way and there spot on. Pop a liner in and job done.
You haven’t told me anything I didn’t know. But... you have reminded me to take a few seconds extra to do a better job and stop being an idle t**t. Thanks, great video as always.
Great tips and very practical way to get to the desire point, keep it up love your great and simple instruction.. Hope to attend your training in future. Thumb UP!!
