Yeah I didn't see that as a mistake at all, it'll just be for use from the other side/other end of the work piece. Technically an error in the duplication, but I think it's till viable. Tell ya what, it has me thinking now about one with a rabbet on either side that could work both ways simply by turning the beam around ;)

@DeepPastry 3 года назад

@@SoralTheSol ... So he would need to mirror the cutter as well, the wedge can be exactly the same. He basically does have a left handed version now. Or rather, he finished the left to right cutter, and he has the main body of a right to left cutter; since in truth, these aren't actually handed tools (those are ambi tools).

@mikewilson8265 4 года назад

When you are cutting the angled mortice for the wedge, an easier way to check you are at the correct angle is to put a mirror on the far side of your workpiece and look into the mirror to check the angle. It works well when drilling holes on an angle as well.

Hey Rex! Really cool tool! The MF moment cracked me up so much. Here's an idea for next week from other content creators I've seen that don't want to take a break: Do a live AMA video (Ask Me Anything) - no preparation needed, just go online 15 minutes, choose some questions from the chat and reply. I bet people will really appreciate getting a video response to some of their burning questions and an AMA video every now and then in between others is totally normal. We want to chat, and you want to take a creator/builder/filming break - it's a win-win :)

Great video, these are always fun to watch. My takeaway from this is that I feel capable of cutting a good clean mortise after watching this. Simple explanation and technique.

Also got my first spokeshave today and just finished honing it, so definitely have to experiment with that this weekend.

@Hawke301 7 месяцев назад

The first one you made can still be used without a problem. The location of the wedge probably wouldn't impact performance, and the 'hand' of the tool would be primarily determined the the direction/angle of the cutting blade, so other than having the main block mirrored, it can still be made into a useful tool

I just wanted to comment for the people that this is not only a *cutting* gauge but also a *splitting* gauge. I f you read Toshio Odate's book you'll learn that with this wari-kebiki you could also split a soft wood panel along the woodgrain. This is sooooo much faster than doin a ripcut. You will love this tool just for these purpose. By the way. There are also splitting gauges around in japan that are quite a bit beefier (lets say larger in size and shape) Keep the good work up Rex but take your time!

@multibusa 4 года назад

Hey there Rex I’ve watched a few of your videos recently and there’s a couple of things that have made subscribe to your channel. First and foremost, your a natural in front of the camera fella, not an easy thing to pull off for a non pro actor. Your facial expressions are hilarious, in a good way I might add. I like the fact that you under take some very interesting and useful workshop tools, but without all the fancy machinery that many of your viewers just may not have. I am fortunate enough to have a reasonably kitted out workshop, which has taken me years to build up I might add. However having reasonable machinery can make a person lazy, complacent and above all is the possibility you start to loose the art of working accurately with hand tools. Using hand tools correctly is very satisfying and a great way to chill and regain the respect and care for your hand tools and moreover total respect for the material you are working with. I like the fact that you aim to give confidence to the viewers, making them believe that they are capable to undertake your projects even if it means a few clock ups along the way, heck I won’t see fifty again and I still take my eye off the ball now and again, however so long as you’ve understood the error and are willing to start over, then when you’ve accomplished your piece, then it’s doubly gratifying. I have learned some things from you, especially that you demonstrate that there can be alternative ways of achieving the same end result, and perhaps an easier way than a person may have used for years. I think the key here is the old adage ‘your never too old to learn’ Your dry sense of humour cracks me up, even if you can’t spell humour properly and call a rebate a ‘rabbit’. A rabbit is something that hops around eating carrots and goes well in a pie. Looking forward to your next video Rex.

@danwittmayer6539 4 года назад

Hi Rex, I had wondered how I could modify the marking gauge build to make it a Japanese style cutting gauge like Toshio has in his tool box. Back in the 1970s I was one of the students he taught in a life changing course in woodworking at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. Toshio's cutting gauge was super important when he apprenticed as a youth working for a master shoji screen maker. He demonstrated how he ripped the thin sticks that interlock to make a strong, lightweight framework that supports the rice paper. Like Toshio, you instill a love of beautiful, functional hand tools. This gauge, this size is perfect for the end grain rebating.Your order while inebriated was a coup! Toshio's cutting gauge has a captive wedge. Your marking gauge has one too. It reminds me of Toshio's. Since he used it to make thin sticks his has a bigger fence. In the demo Toshio cut the sticks & planed each one. Thank you for producing this video, one of your very best! Incidently, Toshio pronounces his name, ohDAHtay possibly an anglicized pronunciation.

@jonasandersson7367 4 года назад

To the reader of fine print, the video proclaims that 1/2"=13mm, it should say 1/2"≈13mm (note the aproximate equal sign) since half an inch equals 12.7mm on the dot, it hardly matters for the project nor in practice but correct is correct and mr Rex is probably being used as a reference/authority on these things.

Just finished a second "hybrid" of the styles of gauge, myself... AND using a hardened washer for the cutter at the end of an adequate dowel allows the curved blade, and the first one worked so well I had to have two... Just be wary of "cheap-o" washers and spacers that won't hold an edge... That said, for no more than a washer costs, it's not a bad investment for a tool... for those who can't sacrifice a saw, scraper or putty knife. If you're interested, the dowel was a half inch thick, and the washer a 3/4 inch wide... held fast by a construction screw. I drilled first for accuracy and straight precision... Followed Rex's video otherwise on a marking gauge with the slightest recess added for the washer to snug right into... not only precise, but protects the "cutter" in storage. ;o)

@nightcatarts 4 года назад

That's a really nice piece, & your wrong side rebate just means you also have a left-handed version now.. I think. I've wrecked my hands a bit doing the inverted planing thing, but it can be made much safer by clamping your little piece first & then holding the clamp to draw it over the plane. The clamp will go across the sole, so you can hold that at either end & your fingers won't go near the iron at all. Alternatively, if there's clearance, do it front & back in a G clamp and its spine doubles as a handle.

The whole piece is scaled to the body. The curve is probably about the total natural deflection of the wrist 60degrees or so. The whole fence is probably the length of the builders forefinger to the inside of the palmheel where it meets the wrist. I would bet the gauge to the cutter is just a bit shorter than the knife edge of the hand to the extended thumb worth of distance.

Vinegar is marvelous at removing rust.

For getting the cutter into the block, it would make sense to use two square-ended blocks the same thickness as the blade cutter is wide either side, then fit a 3-4mm strip of wood either side of that stackup. Wax the cutter, snug everything up, glue and clamp. Wax stops the cutter getting glued up and is easier to remove. Take the glueup and plane it to shape.
