Nice work and wonderful tools. I did notice you flipped the stock when cutting the kerf with the plane. I always use the same face when registering a tool (one I've flattened), square or fence. Just the way I was taught and it does help keep your process uniform and consistent. Can't wait to see the finished product.
I didn't even notice haha! normally I would rotate it but I guess showing the kerf for the camera made me flip it. But it was on center for this one thankfully. I can't wait to see it done either!
Thanks, hand sawing is a good work out. That is a nice collection of tools . Last summer I retired and started a tool wall for all my hidden away tools.
I also realized the saw you held up as the end result of the total de-evolution of the once great craft of hand saw handles, is the exact saw I have been coveting since I bought it new in 1987. HAHAHA! @@JDanielGraham
Interesting video Daniel! You might consider using that Eucalyptus burl as the base for a small lamp. You could make the top & bottom of the lamp out of similar but contrasting woods. Now that would be really a cool piece to light up your shop! 👍👍💥💥
They are not hard to come by these days. I have extra saw plates and users if you are ever in Kentucky come on by and I'll put a couple on your hands to take with you. As for the shop it has been 20+ years in the making. Thanks
Awesome tools Daniel. I'm having saw/plane envy! That's a great collection of saws. Love the 'Beast'! I turn also and probably would have done the same thing you did with that blank. I have several myself on a shelf that I can't bring myself to turn, for the same reason...
Seeing your collection of saws reminded me of my father’s saws, he was a joiner/carpenter. Sadly when he died my mother disposed of them without asking me, I would have loved to have them.
Oh I am so sorry! I know how special those must have been. We so often use those objects as containers for stories and memories. It is hard to have those things taken away.
Yes. There are a few reasons. One mainly I am nervous about the blade drifting at all when I only have a mm or two to spare in this case. If I had more meat in there I would have done that.

So glad! Thanks for taking the time to watch.
I loved the handsaw history and the look around your shop. I hope to see and hear more about your shop.
Here soon maybe I can do a full shop tour.

that is a fun idea. I have a fun little lamp you might get a kick out of...I will have to share.
You have an awesome shop. Thank you for the tour of your saws. Kind of makes me jealous lol

Thanks! Yeah there is something about the beauty inside a tree that cannot be explained.

Why not use the band saw when splitting the board? I’m sure there is a reason!
Yes. There are a few reasons. One mainly I am nervous about the blade drifting at all when I only have a mm or two to spare in this case. If I had more meat in there I would have done that.
thats a cleaver tool... thanks for sharing always fascinating cheers
