Super well done Bernard Glasgow

Very nice and helpful video.

Nice project you did a great job.

Love it. The details are brilliant

Cracking job, Darren, looking forward to more. Thanks

What a great idea mate, it looks awesome 👍🏼

13:27 I don’t know if it would have helped with such a small piece but NYCCNC has a video where they use super glue and painters tape to hold thin parts in a mill. th-cam.com/video/r6DCvtcU8_M/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ExYffbFeooxuTJFr

Hi Darren. This is a nice make keep going I like your work 😊😊😊 From Brian w.germany

I love it

Great job Darren, looks very nice

This is such a fun addition to your workshop, I enjoyed watching immensly. Such good detail you should be proud each time you check to see if it's tea time yet 😊

That's brilliant Darren,you've nailed it pal

For 20 pounds it's a great deal... The chinesium sets are accurate and a lot cheaper than name brand.

Decent steel for the price....... could probably harden it some more if really needed....

Great to save vintage chisels, but perhaps you were a bit too aggressive?

are you from Bathgate?

Brilliant idea, Daren. I've got a rack with screwdrivers, chisels, and all sorts, nightmare at times. At least this lets you keep all the pliers in one place. Great project from scrap pieces 👏 👍🏻

Good to see you back and well

Oh man, I saw the long format video and it was epic! I learned a lot from that video. You are a true “renaissance man” as they say

That's a really nice result. Using more value in brass than the chisels cost is quite funny, though. I use cheap chisels at work, spend time sharpening them, then some git pulls one out of your toolbag and starts attacking plasterboard with it.

This was a fun video. As you said at the start, my biggest concern was the quality of the steel. It looked like you could cut it pretty easily with a file which shouldn’t be possible with good quality hardened steel (as far as I understand). You mentioned you thought it was 20-30 rc which was surprising to me, is that Rockwell or some other unit? Good chisels are usually 58+ Rockwell from what I undertand. But when you used it, it seemed to hold an edge for at least a little while, so it must not have been that soft (or I really don’t understand the Rockwell scale). I think it was James Wright who did a really extensive chisel test and tested some Aldi brand chisels that actually performed pretty well, I’m not sure if it was these ones. But maybe the steel isn’t quite as bad as we would expect? You mentioned case hardening but I was wondering if you might try to retemper it and make them a bit harder. I dunno if that would cause other problems though, like making them more brittle and prone to chipping? Anyway, that would be neat to see if you try it someday.

You have been watching a true professional woodworker. Great job.

Stumbled upon this video by chance. Enjoyed it so much I ended up subbing to your channel. Cheers man.

I have a 5 piece set of Aldi chisels, but they have wood handles out of the box. I sharpened them similar to how you did and they’re fine. I wrap the full length of the blades with cardboard and put tape around that and to close off the end to make sleeves to prevent the blades from getting banged around and dull.

Wood on a metal lathe?

I've just bought those Aldi chisels they seem good value. Those handles you made look awesome!

might have to pick some up myself

Real nice work , i like it!

Nice job Darren, more work less chat 😂

Its spot on !! Nowt wrong with it

First you criticize yourself for mistakes on the box. Then you criticize yourself for being too critical. You really are your own worst critic. Seriously though, it's a beautiful build. Much respect for using the hand tools so well.

The box is perfect for its intended use mate. I’m always envious of how sharp your hand tools are Darren, particularly your planes. I find sharpening daunting and a chore so I don’t do it ( but I know I should)

Great box Darren, really enjoyed the video mate. Love the fact you made the hardware as well.

Hi Darren. Do not let your wife see this it is a big box and she can get a lot in it ???

Nice job man

The box came out really nice mate don’t knock your work.

Don't knock yourself Darren the box looks brilliant plus we're not all perfect, looking forward to more videos.

Nice work 👍. 1 micron=0,001 mm not 0, 01 mm 😉

I salute you sir. the ancient Egyptians could not have done better.

Hi Darren nice upgrad you need to make a power feed for your mill and lathe from Brian w.germany

The problem was turning the stone sideways. You were removing material from the center but not the overhang on up and down strokes. That is why 2 had a concave center. There are specific patterns used when there is overhang and you also don't want to push down on the side, adding extra pressure and less in the center.

That is a great idea, it gives you the ability to get the best camera shot making the setup quick and easy.

Darren, once you finish the boxes, you might try to get some VCI (volatile corrosion inhibitor) paper to prevent rust on those tools. As long as you don't have air blowing over it, VCI paper maintains its effectiveness for quite a long time. If your vernier height gauge is made of SS, it may or may not rust and you probably don't want a lot of oil on it either. If you find some affordable VCI paper, put it at least in the bottom of the boxes, better yet, wrap the items in it with the chemical side facing the items. And, *always* wash your hands after handling VCI paper so you don't get it into your eyes or mouth!

Hi Darren, could list the ACME thread size and what those brass fittings are please 🙂

i have been looking into backlash lead screws. they usually have a stiff spring so it keeps them locked and it does a pretty good job. wha's the reason for not using a spring?

Great video, I have the metal on the shelf, thanks for the prompt 😊
