Hi Joey. Watching you all the way from eastern Canada. I hope this video series shows people how you can build furniture with minimal tools. Working with hand tools is so satisfying. Looking forward to more. Cheers
Good idea - it will help take your mind off other worries and end up with a unique piece of furniture.This is the way we did it when I started (50 odd years ago) and the job of hand ripping timber was given to the apprentices resulting in odd sized timber and some nasty injuries. I well remember the arguements when M & T joints were replaced with dowels!! Look forward to seeing the rest of the build, hope it goes well. Chris
You are the only wood-worker I've seen on RU-vid who NEVER puts a plane down on its sole - something my grandfather taught me when I was about your boy's age. Look after your tools and they will look after you. Kia kaha, kia ora e hoa
Good Luck with your new endeavor. The interaction with your son makes its all the better. You'll master this like you've mastered your previous work, with style!!
If you can hold it in your hand then it's a handtool !😁 Thanks for the video Joey👌 ,looking forward to part 2. Stay safe and healthy. Greetings from Belgium.
Theo was asking some great questions, neat to see him working with you. Nice to see your portable bench being used for apartment woodworking, which is why you designed it that way. I still haven't seen another bench i like as much as yours.
Man, that hand saw cut through that slab like a battery operated Makita circular saw! 🤔😂🤣🤣🤣 Nice work, mate. 👍🏽 Can't wait for the second installment. 👌🏽
Ha, Ha, I had a premonition when I saw the board on the floor that a sneaky power tool was about to appear, You haven't got a Sawyers bench so how else were you going to do it 😎. but at least you did not hide it. Wow is that kid growing. I remember seeing him in the early days when he was a babe in mums arms.
This is great! It occurs to me that you could temporarily mount narrow guide blocks to the bench inside the vise for repeatability. Can't wait for more!
I'm going to go back and watch your video where you built this portable bench. I never got 'round to building one but now I have some time to convert to the dimensions available here which are a combination of both imperial and metric.
I was watching the intro thinking “Oh I think I saw someone make a workbench that went together really similar to that...” before realising that I’d of course seen you making that workbench 😂 hope you’re keeping safe in lockdown!
when you said you had some walnut on insta I didn't expect you to be able to make a whole table I'd love more info on that table however that looks like a good transportable work bench
For a table leg you only need for two sides to be squire. That is the side that the rails will go into which will be on two sides. The outside display could be any shape or standard of finish you want. So you only really need to check for square on one corner.
Actually, you may drive to the shop safetly, but turn the air circulation system in your car only for closed circuit cockpit tipe ventilation, not forom outside ... When you get outside outside use closed respirator ( without any hole ) it is not convenient for longer time usage but you will be safe...
If your planning timber wide than your plane, you dont want the corners of the blade making gouges in the surface, so gently easing the corners of the blade largely stops this.
Inspired by you, Joey with all that happened to your business maybe you’re proving that ww’ing can be therapeutic! The storm will pass. You’re gonna be OK.
Indeed. Don't forget we are all on the same boat right now, including your customers, and that people's needs won't just vanish due to the lockdown. We'll be back to normal and your awesome skills will be required again! All the best Joey!
