Wow! What a beautiful video Ben, so relaxing too see you work, there is something so cozy about this, no music or special effects, just the sound of your tools cutting through the wood and the rain poring down on your roof. The knives and leather goods you two make inspire and motivates me to make my own stuff and enjoy the world of making. Thank you
love these. I agree with Josh Tracy- please make a video on a DIY shave horse!! Haven't found a video that explains it good enough & your instruction is impeccable. Thank you!!
Josh Tracy hi Josh sure we have been thinking of doing one, it will be a big video and may have to split it up into a few parts as there is a lot of components and elements that go into such a simple device. Watch this space and we can maybe start filming it soo for you cheers Ben
Ben & Lois Orford that’s great Ben! Once you do, and I can follow along and build one, I’ll have to order a draw knife from you. So, you will have to get those back in stock too 😂
Mark Baigent used to love Sunday teatime and our regular fix of Out of Town I’ve been watching them again on RU-vid it’s sad to see how much things have changed 👍🏻
That’s awesome! This is something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time, years. I just didn’t know what it would take. But now that I see this video I realize I don’t have any of these tools. You’re gonna have to make me one man! Spatula and a spoon. 🤞🏻👍🏻
As someone who dislikes modern technology I admire your workshop. Mine is outdoors, it seems we have the same layout however. But I live in a country that never rains or sees snow (Australia) so I can work outdoors safely, the only issue is bushfires and the occasional monsoonal floods, sometimes fire floods, when everything in the country five foot high is underwater and everything over five foot is burning. Something we've experienced just recently.
bashpr0mpt sorry to hear you guys are having such a hard time of late. Hope the weather and issues get better in Aus All the best and take care cheers Ben
Well this set up doesn’t cost much to be honest as this is why I got into it as a teenager with no money but good idea to show it done with just a knife 👍 many thanks cheers Ben
Any chance of more info going into the video description? Like kind of wood, oil used to finish, that kind of stuff. The wood looked it was dry and not green. Carry on.
Hotrod Hog sure no problem I’ll see if we can put a list together for everyone in the description details. Yes this was still green even though it wasn’t as green as it was 9 months ago 👍
Richard Putman sure I would avoid coarse open grained woods. Also woods like yew or laburnum which can be slightly toxic if still green. Fruit woods are great as well as birch and sycamore. Hope that helps cheers Ben
