An amateur woodworker, I started by designing and making a hollow wooden bodyboard and then a surfboard. I had few tools and not a lot of skill. I have slowly started a deep descent into the world of hand tools and planes. I started filming what I was doing over the last two years and will post my projects as they wrap up. I have been able to learn a lot from TH-cam, most heavily relying on Paul Sellers who has an amazing series of instructional/educational videos. Wood by Wright, the English Woodworker, Woodworking Masterclass are all inspiration.

Quick holdfast improvement
มุมมอง 792 ปีที่แล้ว
I recently bought four new holdfasts from Gramercy, tools for working wood, And found that they were not working well in my new maple bench which is 3 1/2 inches thick. A quick fortification with some sandpaper, and now they’re creating a great hold
Grain direction with hand planes
มุมมอง 813 ปีที่แล้ว
Had a walnut board that demonstrates the concept well, thought I’d share it quickly. This was using a number 5 1920’s Stanley Bailey with the original blade that I had just sharpened to 8000 and honed. The cut was a bit deep because I was just cleaning it up quickly. I have the mouth on this open about an eighth. Used mostly to help dimension wood.

Japanese tool chest
มุมมอง 3916 ปีที่แล้ว
After struggling to bring my tools over to a friend's house, I decided to make a tool chest. This is a Japanese inspired chest, with a sliding lock on the top. The basic plan came from a SketchUp plan I found, but it was heavily modified. Mahogany with cherry on the top, pins are in Walnut.

Shop-built Belt Sander

First tool build from Woodsmith. My foray into building tools in the garage after watching Matthias Wandel on TH-cam build pretty much every woodworking machine possible.
English damnit
Thanks!! I needed this video for a project. 👍🏾
That's still not wide enough to worry about even heat across the bend. It might take a length of copper tube with that heat fed in.
It would help if you added subtitles to your video as the hot air gun drowns out your voice.
I am going to make too
filmed with a potato and mied the heat gun
Too bad we cant understand what your saying when your heat gun is on. Have to go to a different video i guess?
I have a piece that has a bend I want to unbend it to make it straight. Is that possible?
Given HOW the plastic bends (stretching one side and compressing the other), likely not with a nice smooth outcome.
Brilliant
What is the best material for TV screen protector Acrylic Or Polycarbonate
Nice and simple!
My heat gun has attchments that can narrow the heat gun area to a more concentrated region, may help with tighter bends if no mould is available?
I would recommend using a form if you can, you will get a more reproducible result
Hi, It will work with hair dryer?
I dont think a hair dryer will be hot enough.
They really aren’t designed to get this hot. That isn’t an expensive heat gun (Harbor Freight) but note how much thicker it is then a regular hair dryer. Also, it get VERY hot after a bit.
Can a hair blower do the job as well?
I don't think hair blower would do it seems like an he is using industrial heat gun
you need 160°C. a common hair blower won't make that
I have the same heat gun, just bought it to replace another one. I use it to shape plexiglas. I've msde waterfalls and under gravel filters gor fish tanks, domed lenses for shop lights, a lighted console for my truck.
Gore fish tank, that metal...lol
Diy legend
Dude u suck
Super 👍 Merci
1:36 , I thought there is sudden nature call, he left the heat gun turned on.
Yeah you should never leave a heat gun running like that
omg you are guru!
Definitely going to try this !
Hello Brothers, can I make a float glass band in the same way? Please answer
Just search youtube. The key is to heat the glass evenly at the same time, otherwise it will likely crack. Also the temperature is much higher so you need professional gear.
Thought about using plexi glass as a windshield for my 86 blazer how hard would it be?
You can use it for a windshield for sure as long as you have a way to mount it down
Not very easy, & expensive in Bill electricity for a simple small job.
Nice. Thx for sharing. The electricity bill must be frightening, if one work often with those guns...be well.
appreciate the silence, but Zen video moment should be slower then.
What kind of gloves are you using?
Thanks want make bike windshield through this technique
i want to make my own rocker panels for my car and thought of using plexi
Lol good luck
I'M NOT SURE HOW HOT THE ENGINE BAY GETS SO WHAT THICKNESS WOULD YOU RECOMEND?
IS PLEXIGLASS HEAT TOLLORANCE?
JUNEORJUNE yes - no discernible change in color or translucency (other than caused by the flexing of the material)
i want to bend plexiglass sheet for car window becuase homeless keep breaking my windows.
Janis Rough - it might be difficult unless you have the glass as a pattern. I would imagine you could bend a sheet of plexiglass the same width as the window directly on the window and then trace the borders. I just don't know if it would adhere to the glass at all. I suspect not, but it would be a disaster if it did.
Janis Rough I also wanna do it
use lexan its stronger
Use lexan
Move...
That's a thick piece, around 3/16?
Carl Zorro 3/16 or ⅛, can't remember and not sure where this scrap piece is, the other part is in a window
Is possible to bend 1/4" using that method?
Sorry, included the wrong bench vise at the beginning of the video. That was an end vise and I bought the small front vise.
Sorry about the film quality, I'll up it in further videos
