  • In this video, I make a wooden holdfast, with hand tools. These are obviously wooden but, do a decent job of work holding.

    I like that bench a lot. I like the holdfast too, and I like it a lot. Very clever. I'm on a big push to remove unnecessary iron and steel from my shop.

      Thanks man, I like the wooden dogs too, so I don't damage plane irons etc.

    i love how real this is... no music or elaborate editing (but good editing nonetheless) just a man doing honest woodworking outside in the wind without 5000$ of tools... liked and subscribed

    A hint for more holding power, use a bigger dowel for your hold down or use more than one hold down.

    Your videos are so inspiring. I know plenty of people have said this, but keep up the great work. I know some kids can make millions on youtube doing popular stuff, but I'll be right here watching your videos of therapeutic craftsmanship. I'm excited to have these skills later in life if I can keep practicing them now.

    That's a good tool. I don't have any metal ones so I was thinking it could be done with wood.

    Hi, it is always great to see your work, how you moved from power tool to hand tools. As well, how you design and work through the process of making both furniture and hand tools or jigs all in that unassuming low/roman style bench. Know that your hard work is inspiring to many and instructional as well, I know that I take much away each time in the form of either straight inspiration or food for thought on how I try and do things, as I putter around in my garage woodworking (mostly without power tools as well).

      Thank you for your kind words, and time. It's always great to here people are learning, and being inspired by what I do. I'm hearing it a lot now, from people, which makes the effort of myself doing these videos/podcasts, worth all the time. Again thank you.

    Just found another cool hand tool woodworking channel! Great job. I dig your low roman bench. Great idea making a shave horse attachment. I was just about to build my bench and was going to make a separate shave horse. Glad I saw this. I'm going to make mine with that attachment. Looking forward to checking out your other videos. Great job on the hold fasts too!

    I've been thinking about making hook-style holdfasts by laminating ash around a form - sort like the forged steel holdfasts by Gramercy Tools.

    I’ve saved your podcasts for when I have the chance to listen to the longer talks. I had a family member gift me their old Porter Cable dovetail router jig recently. It’s a mammoth to store and a bit of a pain to set up. If I can just take the time to practice handcut dovetails, I won’t need this thing around.
    Do you have a recommendation for a simpler joint I can use on projects while practicing dovetails in spare time? A blanket chest has a lot of dovetails; at this point I’d need to find some other joint to use for now.

    • @DW_woodworks
      @DW_woodworks  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Its a tough one. My advice would be to cut all your joints by hand (tenons, bridle etc.) This is going to help you hone your saw skills. I'd also recommend, you start adding dovetails to projects, for the practice. Bite size is where you should start, one or two dovetails in a single joint. Maybe small drawers etc. And work up, adding more dovetails in a single joint, But you do need to start cutting them for the experience.
      The only other joint I can think of, would be finger joints, but you can still end up with loose joints, and there not dovetails, so I say hold off with the chest for now. What's going to look better, finger joints or dovetails?
      This week's podcast might be on dovetails, so you might get some pointers.

    I clicked on the video in order to see the wooden bench dogs, but I was super impressed by the rig to hold things in place while using the spoke shave. Not sure whether you found the design and adapted it or created the design yourself, but it is phenomenal. I'm just starting out in hand tool woodworking. Have plans to build a roman style work bench as one of my first projects (I'm an old guy who prefers sitting to standing for hours). Your hold down will be one of the first modifications I make.
    I did not see any plans or tip sheets listed on your RedBubble page. Do you sell the plans for making the hold down? If so, send me a link and I will pay. If not, expect a contribution to your PayPal account in the near future.

    • @DW_woodworks
      @DW_woodworks  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for watching. The design is just a simple shavehorse, that's been around forever, and I made it specifically for my bench.
      Unfortunately I don't have any plans, although I was thinking about getting some drawn up for the whole bench.
      If you have a look at my, how the Roman workbench works. There is a section where I combine a wedge and a peg to make a holdfast. It maybe helpful, and give you some ideas

    What degree of degrees do you drill through the hold fast wood? It looks like the peg is at an angle from the hold fast wood.
    Love the add on shave horse.

      I really don't remember. A lot of things I build, I build on the fly, including furniture. Knowing me, it was probably around 70-75°.
