Agilman: This happened to me too between xmas and new year. I made a small purchase in the UK, got great service, and late one evening a phone call from the man himself , just to say thank you for my custom. Considering the size of the channel and the number of people in his organisation- this says so much for his organisation and the man himself. "Top man".
Before I discovered hand tools, I got a hollow chisel mortising machine. I found it very handy, even though it would leave a mark from the drill on the sides of the mortice. Now, have to learn how to do it by hand....
Hi Rob...for me the best of woodworking world...Amazing videos like yours (we can repeat how many times until enough) and good quality books (and magazines articles too)...so you can learn if you want it... I my case as Brazilian improving the vocabulary too...dado...groove ...rabbet...in Portuguese only one word for that all three= rebaixo Thanks one more time for all help
Rob, I really appreciate these videos, and the work you do. I’ve found myself starting out with very good power tools, but am shifting to more hand tool-type of work. Thank you.
Great video. Thank you for going over these basic joints. BTW, Good job on a new look for RC videos. My 90 year old friend said that the secret to longevity are these two words “embrace change “.
I like the new beginning to the videos! I'm sorry to say this, but with the old videos I would skip the first 40s, because it was the same 'I'm RC, welcome to my shop' two or three times. Great work, thanks for the videos!
I'd add one more joint to the list...tapered sliding dovetail. Frank Strazza has an amazing video teaching the technique. After my tenth attempt at it (on scrap wood) I had it down more then well enough to sell the piece of furniture I used it on.
Many tools can be found near you at antique stores, neighborhood sales, they don't have to be new. Most of my hand tools are used and I fixed them up. You can find videos here to learn what to look for before you buy and then how to make them work like new.
Like these other gentlemen are saying, You can start with hand tools equipment bought at yard sales. But like most people, You will overtime be able to sell things and take the money and buy equipment and have a real man cave shop.
I’m building my workbench. Modeled after Robert Whitleys. The base is intended to be assembled, using mortise and tenon joinery. I am toying with the notion of using through dovetails instead of mortise and tenon. The challenge, of course is that the rails and styles are 2 inches thick and 3 inches tall. Any guidance you can provide?
@@RobCosmanWoodworking it was a joke since, well, you're pretty much known as Mr. Dovetail 😂 Never really thought of a sliding as being that much more complicated/difficult than a normal one, to be honest, but I guess yes, it would be - I consider dovetails not beginner either to be honest, not unless you've spent the $$ for proper tools and most beginners don't.
This vid is really smooth, thanks! Couple it with Woody Hyezmar's concepts maybe go'ogle his latest stuff, and your head will be spinning with some awesome and really creative ideas!
@@RobCosmanWoodworking You've let yourself go a bit then. I recommend a workshop workout and in no time you'll have that 'chiselled' profile every carpenter 'pines' for... 😂
