Amazing. No gaps. I think you have an opportunity to make a 3 minute video to follow this up if you pulling scraps from corners of shop and building another hook with screws. Just to be cheeky. I also think it illustrates that you made one quick and dirty the first time. Been checking for new video from you every few days. If you have the time to make a video on the kerf knife I’d be delighted. I imagined a version where the brass back continues back and bevels or curves down to become a handle. I’ve had parts for one for a while but cutting the slot has made me lazy. Thought of locking the blade in with a single brass pin.
I don’t remember exactly, but I think I used the ratio of the dovetail angle. In this case 1:8. That means that to offset sideways by one saw kerf (0,5mm / 0.200”) an offset in the other direction must be 8 times more to get the same result. (Not entirely correct, since the kerf is at an agle to start with. But in the ballpark) With a little trial and error, I ended up with a brass piece 4mm thick. This works regardless of stock dimensions, since it it only a function of the kerf width and the dovetail angle.
Thank you 😊 It is actually a card scraper that happens to be the same thickness as the kerf of the dovetail saw. I filed some teeth and made a brass spline. I am thinking of making a wooden handle so it looks like a miniature back saw.
46:19 a beautiful bench hook. Looks like the type I would make, as I similarly love to “over-engineer” things (in my mind, they are always appropriately engineered). I do wonder however, how it is you will bring yourself to cut into it during a cross-cut (presuming this is a cross-cutting jig). EDIT: at 46:50, called it, but I guess your answer would be to flip the piece ‘round as you cut so you don’t have to damage the beautiful bench hook
I'm just going to weigh in on the side of words. I hate all these videos that have no explanation of what you're doing or where you're going. I never stick around to find out.
I disagree completely. Too many “TH-cam woodworkers“ fancy themselves as stand-up comedians. None of them are funny… I'd much rather watch this style of video.
I love that you are showing how long it truly takes to make it right. Thanks.
By far the nicest bench hook I've ever seen. And great project to practice our dovetails.
Beautiful work, and a nice and relaxing video. Nice to see more from Norway on YT. Cheers and good luck with the channel.
Thank you very much 😊 I will be checking out your channel too!
Nice work and the sandvik saw with the red handle brings back memories from 40 years ago!
Yes, pretty good saws, but I wish they had better handles.
@@Schnekkern yes agree, in some cases I change the handles to wood even on the modern saws!
Absolutely beautiful.. and not just the tool but the video it self..
Lovely captures the way you work, so relaxing.

Thank you so much 😊 And thank you for taking the time to watch 😀
great work!
@@fredrikhamar4374 Thank you very much 😄
Just perfect!
Awesome work and final product 😊 what type of wood did you use and have you considered plans, thanks,
Thank you very much! It us steamed european beech. Leftovers from my workbench build.
No need for plans, none of the dimensions are critical :-)
Love the details in making a shop furniture. Did you use linseed oil for the finish?
Is the crosscut saw with the black spline your creation?
No, I wish.. It is from Bad Axe toolworks. Got it about 12 years ago. Great saw 😀

Thank you! Yes, I should finish the kerf saw and make a video of the process.
Quick question. You have compensated the saw kurf with brass plate. How do you calcurate the thickness of that plate?
I don’t remember exactly, but I think I used the ratio of the dovetail angle. In this case 1:8. That means that to offset sideways by one saw kerf (0,5mm / 0.200”) an offset in the other direction must be 8 times more to get the same result.

Very nice work.
The tool you have for transferring to the pin board is nice. Is that something you made yourself or is it available?
Thank you 😊

Thank you very much 😊 Like you, I think the only way to "engineer” is to over-engineer. 😄
I will just close my eyes and saw into it the first times.
Bench hook charcuterie board? Too beautiful for use.
Ha ha 😀 It will become ugly soon enough!
What little saw did you use to score the dovetail pins?
It is a piece of a card scraper. I filed some teeth and added a brass spine. Going to make a wood handle soon.
@ it’s just like the Cosman technique (but not $75!). Great idea.
All that for a bench hook?
Yup 😀
Cherry wood?
Beech, actually. The color is similar, but the beech is more homogeneous I think.
@@Schnekkern interesting! Nice piece!
Good tools necessary!
Yes!
31:48 I think I would have just clamped the guide block down so I could use a free hand to better keep the chisel from waggling about when struck
@@devinteske Yes, I think you are absolutely correct 🙂

I actually like figuring out what they are building before they show it. Makes it fun. 😊

I even don t knowwhats that once finished
