Which of these 7 jigs is your favorite? Write it down below, I'm curious to know. Thanks for your time and don't forget to support the channel if you enjoyed this content.
The mallet is a work of art, but the magnetic saw guide is going to be my first copycat guide. You are a master craftsman. Thanks much for the entertaining inspiration.
My favorite is the parallel gauge for the band saw!!! You are a master craftsman as well as teacher! Another method I was impressed with , for instance on the hammer, the selection of woods and glueing them together not necessarily worrying about the outside geometry. Then afterwords sawing to shape. You showed how someone with minimum tools can make very awesome tool set that is air loom quality that will last generations. Not to only example the hammer but showing how to marry the head and handle by the built up laminated technique. This cutting out the need to chisel out the mortise for the beginner. I’m very Impressed with the work you’re doing. Shall I say also the videography team is doing an impeccable job that compliments the work you do. Dan
Thank you so much for noticing so many aspects of my work and for your appreciation. You should know that I have been doing these jobs forever, I just started filming them a while ago. I was lucky enough to have a solid background in woodworking as a kid and now it comes in handy. Speaking of the videography team... sorry to disappoint you but it's a "one man band" here, I build, I film and I edit.
this is exceptionally pleasing to watch unagitated, no annoying music, attention to every detail, and every step is done with utmost care… this is zen-style-woodworking at its best love the mallet, especially the very end with the drink :) awesome content from start to end, thank you!
Thank you for your kind thoughts, I really enjoy making videos this way even though it's a lot of work, it's really nice when my efforts are appreciated like you did. I'm grateful.
Liked, saved to a personal playlist for wood working, and subscribed. Thank you for the humorous edits, and most of all, now silly and insanely loud music - just the joyous sounds of wood being transformed. Edit for the end - I appreciated that you used the item made at the beginning as you went along. And not using $450,000.00 USD of tools I will likely never own, but things I already have on hand.
Thank you so much for this kind comment, much appreciated. I started the channel with a drill and a dremel, when I can I buy some power tools, but I build things because I need them. I learned a long time ago to do the best you can with what you have.
This immediately became my new favorite maker channel. Gorgeous and clever creations with captivating and insightful edits. I could watch these all day! Love your style 🤩
Thank you very much for this kind thought. It's nice when your efforts are appreciated, because making videos this way is very fun but requires a lot of work. Thank you for your appreciation.
As an idea of improvement for the sanding station (wonderful idea by the way, I'll most definitely add it to my project list), I would hollow just deep enough to add a glass panel underneath the paper. That would make sure that the surface stays flat, especially if using softer wood. The glass can be glued to make sure it stays in place. The hollow part could be done with a router
For my needs the piece I used is flat and rigid enough, however it can be a good addition if you need tolerances that are usually used in mechanical processing. Thanks for pointing this out.
It’s hard to pick a favourite I like them all but if I had to choose I’d say the sanding block you don’t have to keep using painters tape or spray adhesive all the time to hold your sandpaper so it’s a money saver and it works great. And you are therapeutic to watch. Well worthy of a subscription cheers from Australia
Thank you very much for your kind comment, I'm glad I made things difficult for you with the choice. The sanding station is a tool that I use a lot, I always keep it on hand with 2 grit of sandpaper mounted (120 and 240). Thanks also for your support to the channel, much appreciated.
Love it the whole video Me encantó tu forma de trabajar J’ai aimé Comme tu travail le bois Mi piace tutto quello que tú a fatto. Keep teaching your amazing stuff Maestro!!!!
Your work is INCREDIBLE😮. MY favorite has to be the marking gauge. I'm new to the wood working game. I'm handicapped and limited to what I can do and make. I've learned 1 thing, a person is more inclined to do something if he does it with tools that are accurate and well made. I'm starting to invest money in good quality tools and I also want to start collecting wood working tools such as tools like you make(for bragging rights mostly😂) and accuracy. You are definitely my new inspiration for wood working. P.s. I hit the subscribe button when I seen you using that 2mm chisel. WOW
Thank you for sharing your story, I really appreciate it. Don't limit yourself, be patient and persistent, you can learn everything and with a few tools you can do a lot (I started the channel with just an electric drill and a dremel). I'm really happy if I inspired you and I'm sure you'll find it very rewarding to build your own tools and do woodworking. Thanks also for supporting the channel.
@@LTMS I have made some things. I enjoy smoking a pipe and made some pipe stands. I enjoy using exotic woods. I wish I had some way to get pictures to you of them. I also enjoy making wood coasters to sit your drinks on. I've started on a set that will be made out African Blackwood with Amboyna Burl trim . I made 1 set with a Walnut base with black and white ebony. The coasters are made from Apple wood. When I figure out a way to take pictures of my work and send them to you, I will. I want to work with small pieces like you do.
@@Tommy-p9u I would be happy to see your work. You can upload the photos on some platform and then send me an email with the link. In the channel information you can find my email. You can also create an Instagram page and show your work to everyone, I'm sure many would appreciate it.
The hammer is amazing, like all the tools you present. Practical and needed in the workshop. What are the dimensions of the hammer and what wood is it made of? beautiful colors.
Thanks for your kind comment. The hammer head is 13 x 7cm (6 cm wide) the handle is 17 cm long (4.5cm at the ends and 3 in the central part). I used canaletto walnut and ash wood (canaletto walnut is very dark in itself and has a beautiful grain)
Your video style is great and i like your style of building. These are all getting save to my make when i have time list These are exactly the kind of project i want to do But may I suggest you add a shinto rasp to you forming stockpile ? seems like it would suit your workflow.
Thank you very much for your kind comment. It's nice when the style is appreciated because it requires a lot of work done in this way. 10 minutes of video require between 130 and 150 shots at different angles. (I do it like this because I like it and it amuses me) About the shinto rasp I've already thought about it several times but then I always forget to look for one... maybe one day :)
I'm glad you liked my "accidents". "Do the best you can with what you have" and if you don't have it, just make it. Thanks for your kind comment, I appreciate it.
How do you separate the hard drive magnets from their metal brackets. I have several of these magnets from drives that I disassembled, but the magnets are stuck to the metal piece. I've tried Acetone but it doesn't work. If I try, even gently, to use a chisel to get them off, sometimes the magnets break in half. Or more pieces. Thank you and God bless.
The chisel is thick and has a lot of leverage, I worked in a computer shop and we used to pry them off using a cutter, tapping on the blade. It happened very few times that they broke. I hope this helps.
There were excellent. I have some older types but now I can upgrade and improve with your models One thing I'm trying to understand with the bench dog system is Could you please explain how you prevented them from slipping with a wooden slat. Thanks!
Aluminum against wood creates more friction and I solved it this way by adding the slat. My advice is to not use an aluminum tube for the clamp, but replace it with a hardwood dowel to avoid friction problems. Thanks for your comment and for the question, I hope I helped you.
Hi again. I agree that hardwood dowels work better. I still can't see the slats. What point in video do you add them? Maybe indicate number they appear in the video Thanks for replying
@@johnhassan2074 If you use wooden dowel instead that aluminium tubes you don't need the top slat, (I put it to fix my mistake and I didn't film it), you just need some regular dog holes in your workbench. The side slat you can find it at 33:26, it'a 5x6 cm hardwood slat 60 cm long. Hope I explained myself well.
I do not sand at all. I use a hand plane. You get a better surface with a plane, you don't need to wear a mask so you don't breathe in the sanding dust because there's no sanding dust and once you're done planing the wood is finish ready.
With hardwood it is a great solution not to sand, also using a card-scraper helps a lot, with soft wood instead I almost always find it necessary to sand. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, I appreciate it.
I didn't make a video about it. It's just a switch connected to a cyclonic separator for sawdust and a 50€ vacuum cleaner. I watched some videos about vacuum cleaner switches for inspiration, there are really a lot of them.
No, the wear is irrelevant, in three years it hasn't even taken off the paint. If you're worried about that you can always hang the saws with the teeth facing out. (except the Ryoba)

There's places its not bad , smooth tubes , Non moving epoxy handles etc. but if you have any sort of shape or edge to metal rubbing against the wood the woods going to fail faster, a LOT faster.
