The can has an oily rag in it. (Usually 3-in-1 but any lube will do) He’s lubricating the plane so it slides easier and smoother on the wood.

It has been done plenty of times

You clearly have skill. With that skill you could rabbet the back before nailing it on.

Why not the Japanese handsaw? There's no difference what typ saw you use, if its sharp and has the right teeth for the job. Who cares?

@@mathiasschulze6148 Show offy stuff and the work is not improved by it, one bit. Question: Why use a $5.00 saw when a $50.00 one will do?

@@harrymason1053 the toolbox looks great and it works. Yeah he could drill the holes in the back with a hand drill. I have manny western handsaws, frame saws and japanese saws. I use all of them. The only real advantage of normal western handsaws...they are smaller and easyer to carry.

@@mathiasschulze6148 I'm old school. I acquired my tools back when Japanese was synonymous with junk.

@@harrymason1053 I am jung and I am in to woodworking only a few years. What a great hobby that is. I start to collect and restore old tools and work with them. Japanese Saws are cheap for the quality you get. The saws are thin, very sharp and easy to use. But you can't resharp them, that's the only reason why I don't buy them any more. I have 3 of them, and if they become doll they will be the last ones for me. but they serve me well for years now. I think the most important skill is to find the solution to the problem with the tools you have. If it is the smartes way to solve the problem I use power tools, if it makes no difference I always use my hand tools.

Thank you, appreciate it!

Appreciate the kind words! Probably overkill but I wanted my nail spacing to be exact 😁.

I used to have to do the same thing, I had to buy the thinnest coping saw blades I could find and they're still too big really, but they get the job done 👍.

It was pretty nice, and not even their "select" boards either, so pretty cost efficient also, relatively speaking 👍.

@@twenty-twoonewoodworks3745 didn't look like you had too much issue with twist and cup.

@@memilanuk Yep, pretty much zero twist, which is a nice thing when working with handtools. There was some cupping but nothing bad, and I was able to mostly cut around the worst of it when breaking everything down.

Haha, make it a no 8, even better 😂.

@@twenty-twoonewoodworks3745 Hahaha sure!

It's just a hobby, so I'm not concerned about dollars per hour. I just enjoy learning the craft of handtool woodworking 😁.

@@twenty-twoonewoodworks3745 oh you got money

@@mr.fukk12 I have a full time job, my woodworking is just for fun. Professional woodworking is a whole different animal for sure.

Yeah.... Some "real quality" stuff being built nowadays.....

That's awesome, thanks so much for letting me know!

It does, thank you, I really appreciate it! And thanks for the compliment, I'm loving working out of it.

It's 3M PSA lapping film - 8,000 grit. Works great for just a little extra refinement after the diamond stones.

@@twenty-twoonewoodworks3745 Thanks. It’s tragic the amount of time and cash I have sunk into different sharpening systems. Still hunting for the Holy Grail of quick and sharp.

You can definitely go down a rabbit hole with sharpening, there's a lot of great ways to get a great edge for sure. I think it ends up being more personal preference than anything.

Thank you, that's a big compliment 😁. I'm sure lots of other people have done it, but that seemed like the easiest way to secure the dividers in place while still being easily adjustable. I have to say it works pretty good too, it's been nice and snug ever since 👍.

It varies stool to stool, but normally a 13-17 degree resultant angle.

Thank you, appreciate it! And I'll have to check out that video. The strap hinges are from Van Dyke's Restorer's.

Thank you! You're right, it's white pine. Nothing special, just from Lowe's, it had just been sitting around in my garage for forever drying out.

@@twenty-twoonewoodworks3745 thought thats what it was, some of those pcs you crosscut looked a little darker like ash and sounded dry when you cut it. Pine is just fine for this project. Schwarz says to either use pine or poplar and its stong enough for it. Looking to build one of my own soon too, just gotta either get smaller pcs and edge glue for wider boards, or get 1x12s for it

@@contra81 Ya the pine definitely helps keep the weight down also. The 1x12s sure made this build way easier considering the plans are modeled off using them. Quick and easy to work with handtools as well 👍.

Thank you! The bit is the "large standard taper reamer" sold by Lee Valley.
