It's only used by myself. And throwing it away each time I use it, in my opinion, is too wasteful. But, you're right if more people used it.

Thank you David. It's a cool place.. It costs me though. Rent, petrol to get here, my time. I think it's what I do in the space that makes it feel nice. I love it most of the time. Thanks for watching. Have you subscribed? It helps me grow my channel and share with others. Thanks again Jamie

Tim, I need more of a direct question. Nothing 'has' to be done. The Coffee grounds can be fresh or lying in a bucket a few days, or weeks. Does the mix 'have to be composted'? No, but it burns over 3 times longer if it is. Do these replies answer your question? Let me know 👍 Jamie

Yeah that's the answer. Do you just leave in a bucket? Does it not mould?

Watch this video. th-cam.com/video/BrUE1Hs82iQ/w-d-xo.html It explains a lot more. Jamie

@@joshwalker5605 Oooo... 🤔 I like it. Very good question

Thanks Paul. Good fun and another original door going back into the house.

@@markholdroyd3980 Thanks Mark. I think you guys are more patient these days. And I think this video shows it's about all the details as they come up. You have a choice to do it right at the time, or rush it. And we all know what happens when you rush something and don't put the effort into the details. Thank you for watching Mark 👍

@@matt9566 Wonderful. That's great to hear. Thank you Matt

And remember you can choose to tune that plane a little more. It could be a firm favourite in time. Cheers

Who's Craig?

Clamp. Clamp and hold in position Cramp. Cramp and pull mortise & tenons or suchlike together

I'm just all over the place with the terminology 😂

Thanks Steve. Paul Sellers is very good at what he does. And if we look at the figures, there are more new people to channels every week, month, year. Subscriber numbers can be at 10k but views can be less than 500 and only 10% of those subscribed. So Paul is always talking to new people. I'm talking to whoever is listening 😂 But going through, whatever I'm doing. Good to have you here. Thank you Jamie

Hello. Thank you 👍

This door was reasonably easy and quick to repair. And it matches all the other doors in the customers home. So it was worth fixing. Some things are harder to repair, so I have to ask the questions.. Like - How attached are you? -What would you be prepared to spend on fixing it?

@@twcmaker Sorry Jamie, you misunderstand me. Obviously it was worth fixing, but there is a world of difference between different levels of fixing it. I was interested in how You decide the best level.

Right.. I ask questions. Clare said she had sanded it. So I knew I didn't have to spend ages sanding. She loved the door and the bowing "is part of its character" so I'm building up a picture of what is acceptable to her. I wanted to try to get some bowing out. But it wasn't critical. I've got used to getting to know what the client would be happy with. And I wanted a quick turn around as it was going to take up bench space. Getting to understand the client and the job in hand. Listening and also what the piece tells me too. Is that what you meant Jamie

@@twcmaker Now That was a Good answer, thanks!

You're welcome 👍

That's very true. Keep the clamps parallel to the rails. Keep an eye on square if it's moving around too much. Or you could introduce some skew.

Good spot, that I forgot to mention. And the width (diameter) of that dowel is great. Did you spot the glue groove in the dowels too? To allow air out when clamped up. Very cool door. Lots to learn from these older pieces.

Yes, that kind of door. (Read through other comment replies) I'd not thought of the glue pot cooling off 🤔 Good call. I have thought since that the pot might have run out or dry. The side came off while the customer was in the Workshop. It really didn't take much effort. I didn't remove every scrap of evidence of the Hide Glue. I left some parts on to ensure it all went back into the right place. The lack of glue was unreal.

@PeanutsDadForever Good question. And this wasn't a glue fail, this was lack of glue. The other side was showing no sign of failure at all. So why strip it all into pieces? The Hinge Stile might have had the Lions share of the Hide Glue 🤔 and holding well. And during the video you could see that not much glue was used on the joints of the problem piece. I now think that maybe the glue pot (double boiler) might have run low, or run out on this second side. Could be..? What do you think?

If it ain’t broke, don’t mend it is my opinion. These jobs can grow legs if you’re not careful, then repair costs aren’t proportionate to the value of the piece. Unless the client says do a complete reconstruction. Just my thoughts, but it is subjective.

I'm with you on that 👍

I'd do it again. I didn't even have to think about it. And I'd get Robert to heat it up a third time and get it a bit closer. Its worth knowing how to do it. But also, It's worth trying to get it a bit closer. Keep learning. If there was a Stanley no10 incomplete.. 🤔 I'd probably use it as practice to see if I could get it back on my own.

@@stevenblakeakahashburnsThank you. 👍 It took weeks, I didn't get paid to make it. But good fun.

That's the worst way, it's much harder to work with to correct. Maybe carefully grip it in a vice and file the middle part out. Worth a try.

@@twcmaker❤

Cheers Chris 👍

That's great to hear.

Next? Maybe the corners of the number 4 and a halves. I think there's 3 planes (you've got one) and 4 corner tips broken off. I've not found anything like that on the Internet. That would be an achievement to see if they could almost be invisible!!

@@joycehaines2055 there are. Have you subscribed Joyce? I'm just growing Mushrooms in this mix now. And it's AMAZING Video up soon. Jamie

Thanks Stuart

Yes, they're Blue Oyster mushrooms. And flying along right now.

@@twcmaker sauted in butter in a sandwich

@stevenclarke2592 Oooo.. Or a bacon, tomato and mushroom sandwich 🥪 👍

It's a cast iron body. Hang on. It could be cast steel. I can't remember now. Robert might come on here and say.

@@twcmakerHi gang , it behaved like cast iron , so on reflection it could well be Malleable iron Regards Robert Partsmade

Hey James. Yes Naniwa are excellent.. To the point where I don't feel the need to go Shapton.

@@twcmaker Amazing for knives but a bit overrated for chisels etc, IMO.

As I say. I just don't feel the need. Latest stone is a King 800. That should be good. Especially for £25.

Hey Paul. Thanks. The use of David Charlesworth ruler trick again 🙈 It was the best thing for this plane. I still can't bring myself to do it to any of my others... Except one. And that was a messed up iron too.

@@twcmaker Old habits die hard. However, rather than polish the whole back I apply the ruler trick to all my plane irons, including my LNs. I feel I get better results too. I might be wrong but I seem to remember that Charlesworth combines that tiny back bevel with another third (tertiary), virtually imperceptible, bevel on the front side; so there's a grinding bevel, honing bevel and this tertiary bevel at a few degrees steeper than the actual honing bevel. That's what I understand by the tertiary bevel but as I say I could be way off!

Blimey it's getting a bit too much for me. I'm happy with the results I get. But I suppose more importantly, when you're teaching others. I feel it's better to keep it simple for chisels and plane blades. Someone has only got to 'DCRT' the end of a 1" chisel and I'd get the blame for it 🙈 So flat backs, no cutting corners.. Unless they're all for it and it's their responsibility, not mine. And people do make mistakes. Take the people who watch Rex Kruger videos and think that you should attack every surface with a plane. And they then think that the speed and a heavy hand is the most important thing as far as planing wood down. As they say, a little knowledge.. 😉

@@twcmaker yes, i know what you mean, totally

Badger? Is that how you know this plane?

On the stone, I was always taught to put a mirror finish on the back of the blade . Unlike you we did 45 degrees left stonside then right stone side, but the results aren’t as good as yours.

Ahh. I've seen people do that. And also seen varying cross patterns on the back. Thank you. And the plane worked pretty good too. Plenty of room for more tuning as and when the owner feels the need.

@@twcmaker I’m going to try your technique. To be honest, the results look better with the straight horizontal stone surfing, than at 45 degrees. "Stone surfing ". I just invented that 😝

Stone surfing.. Love it. Let me know how you get on. Jamie

Wow, Hawaii that's very cool. I heat my home with these briquettes. Here in the UK with have wet Autumns, Winters and Spring. (and Summer too 🙈) The energy prices here are way off the scale these days. Lots of people are looking for alternatives to Gas central heating, Electric heating or just logs and Coal on fires. Prices on everything in the UK is crazy. So this saves me a lot of money, it does take time. But each briquette burns over 2 hours. So it's a good return for the effort I put in.

@@twcmaker ahh I see. You have a symbiotic relationship with a neighboring coffee shop that allows you to recycle two waste products into a cost effective source of heat. In Hawaii we don't ever really need a fireplace to warm the house but it's very common to smoke fish, boar, and other types of meat (especially at the beach). I'm curious about the flavor a "coffee" briquette may impart on a cook since it burns for such a long time. If your technique of making them doesn't create a lot of smoke, or flavor, then you can ignore my curiosity. :)

They burn without much smoke at all and theres no smell. So smoking wouldn't work either.

But.. I have started growing mushrooms in the mix. And they're doing really well. Have you subscribed? It helps me grow my channel and share the information with others. Jamie

I know it's not woodworking, but it's brilliant what waste can be used for. Heat, food.. What next?

Hi Sue. Yes it's the same mix. It's getting very interesting lately.

Oh brilliant 👍 👍 👍 thank you for coming back and telling us. Where are you from? and have you subscribed..? (I can't remember all of the subscribers 🙈😂) Jamie

@@twcmaker Yorkshire, and have shared it with friends who are all across Britain, Europe, and America. I watched an earlier video of yours when it was recommended to me just after I failed at making my own with wax as an ingredient. I hope this knowledge gets widely put to use. It can really save some folk even.

Thank you. I know in Chicago they were interested in helping homeless make these, some to sell, some to keep homeless warm through the Winter, and save waste in burning refuse or landfill. It's pretty amazing how something so simple can change people's lives. I appreciate what you've done. Thank you Jamie

I agree, but I'm just learning mushrooms. I think everyone talks about Coffee grounds in a negative way. I've got them mixed with sawdust and after 2 months they're pH neutral (6) I know this because I've bought a tester and it's wonderful soil. People don't get all the fact right. There would be a huge difference if the Coffee and sawdust was mixed today and planted today. You get what I mean?

@@twcmaker I'm not sure I do. Are you saying mold wouldn't be an issue when using coffee grounds as a mushroom substrate? Or are you referring to how people say they're too acidic for plants? We have a farm and we use coffee (when we have them). They're fine as long as you compost them rather than putting them straight onto plants. The coffee itself might be acidic but the grounds themselves arent really.

Hi James. I was given some Blue Oyster mycelium at the Hay On Wye book festival. Mixed in a bucket for 5 weeks. 48 hours in the fridge, then a few days later it was how it is in the video. The thumbnail was today after 6 days from the fridge.

That chicken of the woods was very good 👍 👍 👍

@@twcmaker Brilliant. Will watch your stream about the mushrooms later on!

Good morning Hank. 12:50 here, just coming up to lunch time. How's the temperature going this morning?

Not bad, 23.3 Celsius

Thats comfortable 👍2pm and it's 20° c here. Its nice

Thanks for the comment 👍

green cultists lol.. this is literally something you can make to heat your home. get a grip on reality.

If you're worried about air pollution you can just build a rocket stove, instead of leaving extremely normal, well-adjusted comments on videos about people daring to burn something other than fossil fuels.

You can see the burn here th-cam.com/video/I6auqbKBjPE/w-d-xo.html Thank you Jamie

Safety first with (almost) everything Sue. It's just practice and patience. There's no rush.

That does sound wonderful. You should see them today. Twice the size

Careful growing mushrooms indoors, they'll get everywhere.

I'm not with you? ​@@ItsRossinator

@@twcmaker it's not good for your lungs to be breathing in mushroom spores regularly

Okay thank you. So wheres the best place to grow them? As I've watched an experienced grower growing them in his dining room. And wouldn't it depend on through air rate? Lots of questions

@@MoldyBones27 I hate Resin stuff. Like we need more plastic in our World

@@twcmaker fully agree, besides who wants to deal with that avalanche level of cleanup.
