Power tools help save time on carving spindles on wood wagon axles. Which tool works best may depend on your comfort zone and what you have available. A flap-sander works well, but I also have a duplicating machine that really cuts down on time. However, it can use a very dangerous cutter that I would never recommend for free style carving. This video shows two more ways to carve new wagon axles to fit the skeins.

I fully agree with your advice about the chainsaw cutter disk. I have used all manner of cutting tools on a very wide variety of materials. In my opinion those are the most dangerous hand held power cutters ever made when used as directed by the manufacturer. A tiny change in cutt angual and it will eat you alive.

@1pcfred 2 года назад

I think the problem is where your contact patch is on the arc? Conventional vs climb cutting. All discs have a good and bad cutting side. With the chainsaw head the bad side is just real bad. You go there for a moment and find out fast.

@court2379 2 года назад

Check out Stumpy Nubs video on that cutter. He was trying out a few styles and cut his fingers up pretty badly. I do think if you are going to risk it, the side handle should be installed, and on the side away from the direction it will climb. I think had that been the case James would still have whole fingers. It rotates the grinder right into where his hand was holding the handle. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IIQu1e8DGUw.html

@@court2379 the side handle greatly increases control. I always use one with angle grinders but I know a lot don't. The body hold style. I'm not sure what that's all about. Maybe they lose the handle? There's a certain type that's prone to carelessness. You can find them working with tools too. Half the angle grinders I have don't have a guard on them so I'm not one to judge. I'm in the guard gets in the way camp myself.

@sassafrasvalley1939 2 года назад

Dave, that duplicator is wickedly clever. Building one from a pile of scrap could be an Engineering Doctoral Thesis!!! You touched on two areas close to home for me. I have both a duplicator and that chainsaw grinder blade. The duplicator mounts on my Shopsmith Lathe. The cutter is carbide and follows a fixed pattern. I use it to make spindle and bowl turnings. That chainsaw grinder blade is wicked. It scares me every time that I use it. After locking all the doors so no one can interrupt me… I don face shield, earplugs, leather gloves and apron. Making sure my work piece is solidly affixed, the guard and handle are secured to the grinder… I use it to grind butt cheek depressions in chair seats. The cuts are shallow and careful… one cough, flinch or burp and the seat is ruined. But if all goes well, I have found no other power tool that can rough cut them as quickly as that chainsaw blade. It will do in minutes what a scorp takes me hours to do. Having said that, I still don’t like using it. Your adaptation is much safer!

It happened so fast and so hard that there was no chance whatsoever to prevent or reduce what happened. He took the blade off the grinder, threw it in the trash and told me and my brother that he had better not EVER catch us using anything EVEN CLOSE to that beast. Definitely a buyer beware item.

As another former logger, I agree 100%. Chainsaw chain is relatively safe when used on a chainsaw as designed, but on something like a disc that is like trying to make all of your cuts with the tip of the chainsaw bar and any logger knows how that goes. We occasionally need to “nose in” for a particular situation, but it is always done with some trepidation and requires good technique and great care to avoid injury.

I have two box wagons that I'd like to restore. I've been watching very intently and can't wait to see more great content. About the cutting disc, I found one in the back of a truck my son bought, still in the unopened package. Although I have many years experience with angle grinders, I viewed the cutter as not worth the safety risk and threw it away. At my facility, I'm the CDSO (collateral duty safety officer) so as part of my job I do safety assessments. In my opinion, these should never be sold to be used in a free hand manner.

@victorjeffers1993 2 года назад

@stevefirst9521 2 года назад

Dave great as usual. I have a rotary cutter from Arbotech which is much less dangerous than the chainsaw disk. It uses 3 little carbide cutters. It still is spinning and you have to be careful, but it works for me. I would vote for doing it with a drawknife and spokeshave otherwise. By skewing and slicing with a sharp blade it makes short work for me.

I think I'm starting to understand why the Conestoga wagon was called the masterpiece of the blacksmith's art. I always thought of it as a wooden wagon and primarily and example of a joiner's art, but I imagine it probably had those kinds of axles and axle skeins with the forge welding. I'm sure there was a lot of art to it. I agree with you about those chainsaw cutters. They make my skin crawl the same way standing at the edge of a cliff makes my skin crawl. I don't know if you saw Stumpy Nubs video about his accident with one or not. They scared me before I saw his video, and even more so now.

@danbreyfogle8486 2 года назад

First off, I am very impressed with your duplicator even though the cut is a bit rough. But hogging off the material to get to the final finish is really the key. As to the cutter itself, I own one, used it once, scared the daylights out of me, and it hangs on the shop wall as a reminder of my foolishness in thinking it was a great tool. Never again will it see use on the grinder. On you application it is perfect as you outlined. Great video Dave.

@84953 2 года назад

There was an episode of Extreme Makeover Home Edition where one of the carpenters, Ed Sanders, did a real number on his hand trying to do a 3d contour on a block of wood that was to be artwork representing the American flag. He had no guard on the tool. Another idea would be to replace that grinder with a router. Set up a new mount for that. Use a large bullnose cutter on that. Along with that, try slowing down your cross feed for better resolution? At 20:00 you start talking about the roughness of the pattern. Why not make a new axle that can be your new pattern? Nice work on the duplicating machine.

@mikenewman4078 2 года назад

The cheapo chainsaw chain clamped between two sometimes stainless discs are pirate methods of bypassing the original Kevin Inkster designed "Arbortech" woodcrafter patents. The original is pressed from a single piece of tool steel. The depth gauges are correctly scaled for the job. The Mk1 version is not the item I recommend though. The Pro and the Pro Mini are made from solid machined balanced steel with indexable / replaceable carbide tips. Kickback is much less likely. The finish is much smoother. For most people though shaping an axle tip like that, there is also the safest method yet, the Arbortech Power Plane. It requires a high powered 5" grinder and does all its cutting on the face like a sanding disc. I find it useful for trimming uneven logs to safely flow through the thicknesser. It is a very controllable tool, with the side handle and guard fitted. I totally agree that the dodgy bros item should stay in its box, especially since the genuine items are readily available and not too expensive.

The inside diam of grinder guard wasn't much bigger than the disk itself. The guard was only held on with a thumb screw and more or less free to rotate around the grinder head. I imagined on initial start a hook on chain flying out grabbing guard spinning it around and taking my hand off somewhere near my wrist. Never tested my theory.

@ulrichkalber9039 2 года назад

@lamwen03 2 года назад

Yes. Originally, I think, designed to make multiple copies of letters. It was called a Pantograph.

@turningpoint6643 2 года назад

Afaik those rifle stock duplicators evolved from the much earlier rope block duplicators that were used to produce the blocks on sailing ships. So many blocks from single sheave to 4 or more were used on those ships they built machines to quickly mass produce them. High carbon cutting tool steel was very expensive and hard to manufacturer so they used wooden disks as the cutter body and bolted hook shaped high carbon steel cutting inserts to those. Prior to the invention of steam power they were driven by water power and gearing to get enough rpm. Other than the materials used they might have been about as dangerous as this chain saw based cutting tool. And since actual high speed steel wasn't invented until around 1900 I would guess cutting tool life between resharpenings was fairly short. Once decent metal availability and mass production methods became more widely available no doubt the bigger wagon manufacturer's also started using duplicators. Around the time of the American civil war there was a huge increase in more sophisticated mass production methods including the early use of water based hydraulics. I've seen a few pictures of multi segment hydraulic presses used for wagon wheel assembly.

@lwilton 2 года назад

@@lamwen03 A pantograph is actually just a scissors-like mechanism of multiple bars linked together, with a central pivot, so that one end of the mechanism tracks (in reverse) the other end. It is a duplicating device, but not a multiple duplicator. One of the first uses was to make a copy of a drawing, possibly enlarged or reduced. Of course you can use a pantograph mechanism in a multiple duplicator, but if someone is calling a multiple duplicator machine a pantograph, they really aren't using the correct name for the machine. It would be more something like "multiple pantograph duplicator". Most multiple duplicators use(d) cams and arms to duplicate the motion of the pattern, as that is a more robust mechanism.

I think the only professionals who use those chainsaw wheels freehand are ice carvers. One of our "adopted sons" (close friend of our kids) has been competing at the international level for years, and that's his favorite roughing tool. I suspect that's because tools never catch on ice, the material just shatters off, so you don't see kickbacks and other dangerous behavior.

@aserta 2 года назад

IMO, a straight grinder (or die grinder as they're called) with a rough ball end cutter would cut just as fast but leave a clean finish. I haven't used one in a while (on wood) but they're really good for metal removal, and if they can make chips out of metal, they should make cuts on wood. Just my 2 cents, seeing as the chainsaw cutter leaves a rough pass finish. That said, yeah, those are extremely dangerous. One slip, or bogged cut, and that's it for you.

Exactly. I'm willing to go up to the Arbortech turboplane, nothing beyond. That still has a rudimentary depth stop to the cut. You still want to stay awake while using it, but it feels fairly safe. It is nicer to work with than flap discs for grinding, though wwe do use those for working on live edges.

But sometimes, power tools allow me to make bigger mistakes faster. By the way, does charring the wood help to prevent rotting?

I think he chars it to see where the wood needs to be fitted? The more snug wood is on the hot metal the more it'll char. Because then he appears to attack the charred spots. So he's basically spotting with heat. Least that's how it looks to me.

@@bugnfront that may just be green wood? I'm not entirely sure. But I know about fire hardened spear tips. Least I've heard of it. I don't know if heat makes fully seasoned wood any harder than it already is. Dry wood depending on the species can be pretty hard. Matthias Wandel was just doing some experiments with wood and heating it up made it more brittle.

Those chainsaw disks are actually illegal in several countries for their tendency to bite back and saw hands apart.

If you can't do dangerous things then you can't do clever things either. So it's a double edged sword.

@@1pcfred doing dangerous things to do clever things is using a chainsaw or an angle grinder, using a tools that basically the most dangerous part of a chainsaw put on a angle grinder is just dumb (when used by hand, in a jig like shown it doesn't seem worse than using a table saw)

There are those whom have honed skills for a lifetime, that really understand points of pressure, measured force, weight, angles, w/ speed of movement, on grain, (w/ or against), reaching or moving over your work w/ grinders spinning at 11,000 rpms. It's bad enough to accidentally brush against a sanding disc, much less any thing sharp, w/ carbide teeth or an aggressive cutting chainsaw blade. I've actually seen video of ppl using that grinder chainsaw wheel w/out incident. But , I never could and still can't imagine successfully putting all the skills needed, together, every time, w/ 100% focus, for any viable amount of time, w/out a near miss or worse. The risk just seems obviously & overwhelmingly costly. Like Steve McQueen said about the guy falling from the 10 story building window as he passed each floor, hearing ppl ask, " how's it going" ? & replying, " good so far " !! The lack of forethought hides 'inevitability' !! I have seen one young man use it in a jig to make 4x4 Farm Table legs similar to how you're using it and thought, now there's a guy that is thinking. But they don't make many like that anymore. I'm glad you spent the time to mention the risk (twice) in this video. And I do love the way you think. You Are The Man , Dave. Keeping you and your wife and family in my thoughts and prayers, Steph

Forgive me - I grew up the 60s in UK and the popular view of the push westward in the USA was all wagon trains and indigenous people attacking ... So when you were checking the fit of the skein the smoke given off put me so much in mind of smoke signals. It's all hooey, but I couldn't help myself.

@1pcfred 2 года назад

Manifest Destiny is a bit of a complicated topic. Suffice to say the push westward was ultimately accomplished. Not all Indians were hostile. In fact I don't think most were. The tribes that were hostile were basically exterminated with extreme prejudice. In the eyes of the law they were operating outside the boundaries. If they played their cards right they could be rich casino owners today. They chose a different path though.

@nicolek4076 2 года назад

@@1pcfred You're right, of course. But the past was a different country. We did things differently then. We definitely thought differently. You might not have noticed particularly, the reference to indigenous people. In my childhood, they would have been called Red Indians, they all sent smoke signals and said "HOW". We know better nowadays.

@1pcfred 2 года назад

@@nicolek4076 I do not think anything's really changed. What happened then still goes on. Today it's happening in the jungles of South America. I read an article about it once. It's not the sort of thing that gets much coverage though. You probably have heard about the destruction of the rain forests. Those poor trees. Well there's folks living among those trees too. Sucks to be them I guess. Knowing better and doing better are two different things.
