Wonderful to see you back in your work shop again. I hope you and your wife are healthy and have come through these weird Covid times. Love your videos 👍 ( steve in the Uk )
@@treebangham I appreciate that. Life is busy with a couple big projects,but I am very excited to build some. Not sure why, but building boxes is so much fun.
I really enjoy your videos and always learn something from watching them. . Your precision is so impressive. It gives me something to shoot for. Happy Christmas from the Northwest.
Howdy. Just happened on to your channel. Lots of back videos to catch up on!! Anyhow, best wishes. And thank you for putting this out, it's right up my alley.
Happy to see you back with the hand tools and your patiences. I had the pleasure to meet you last July at woodcraft. You are a true gentleman craftsman . I also am a great fan of your Japanese box series.
Hello Doug, I always enjoy meeting the people I share my projects with. The Japanese tool box series was one of my favorites. Thanks for keeping in touch!
Thickness planing is quite easy for smaller boards. For removing large amounts from larger boards, a powered thickness planer is quite useful. In either case I prefer using my hand plane for jointing. It’s quick, easy, and works best for my kind of woodworking. Best regards.
What prompted you to align the long grain of the bottom and ends. It makes perfect sense on avoiding cross grain for the handle load and dovetail stress from the tool load. It seems everyone aligns the sides and ends in a quick search.
Hi Bob, that’s a very good question. Of the tool totes I’ve seen, the grain direction and joinery methods are quite varied. I chose my ends-to-bottom dovetail/grain orientation for the very reasons you mentioned. In practical use however, I don’t think the grain direction matters too much, since the amount of weight the box will hold is relatively small. Still, I prefer to design my projects with these things in mind. Thank you.
Un saludo de nuevo, da igual lo que usted presente en el canal, siempre le veremos. Creo que es la primera vez que le veo usar una herramienta eléctrica, aunque hay veces que no queda más remedio. Es difícil ver hoy en día buena carpintería hecha a la antigua usanza, da gusto verle usar ese "banco de sierra" que usted nos presentó. Enhorabuena.
Hola Juan, Gracias por visitar mi taller y enviarme una nota. Prefiero trabajar con herramientas manuales, pero las herramientas eléctricas también tienen su lugar. Me llamo a mí mismo un carpintero "mixto" por esta razón. Atentamente.
Your shows are outstanding! In my opinion, the only reason you don't have more subscribers is that you don't publish often enough! Maybe you don't care? Keep up the good work. Just sayin, JIM
Hi Jim, thank you for the compliment. You are correct, I simply enjoy connecting with other woodworkers and I upload videos when I have something to share. The subscriber count doesn’t matter much to me. Best regards, Ken.
So exciting to tune into TH-cam this morning and to see you have a new posting. Inspiring me to stop mucking about with all the other distractions and to get back into the workshop. On a practical note I wonder whether you considered using a shooting board for the accurate end-grain work?
Have been looking for a great tool tote design for 6 months. Yours is th best i have seen. I will modify it and splay the sides 7 to 11 degrees. Love the cardboard mock up and the curves . Where are you in Pennsylvania? My grandparents were from Fulton county? First time finding your channel . Great techniques. Thank you for sharing with us.
Hello and thank you. Let me know how your project goes, send me questions if you have any. For me, the mockups are an essential part of the process. They always reveal things I didn’t see in my mechanical drawings. We’re in Allentown, Lehigh county.
@@treebangham watched more of your videos today. Those are some sharp chisels! What brand of fenced router are you using? Were you self taught on sharpening or do you use a specific method. Great techniques, a true craftsman with a flare for design.
I use the Veritas large router plane, very useful for the kind of woodworking I do. The optional fence is nice to have as well. The blue handled chisels are Irwin when they were made in Sheffield. I also have a few Lie Nielsen bevel edge socket chisels. My sharpening methods have evolved over the years, starting with one small oilstone and no jig, and now I use a Veritas Mk.II honing guide on sandpaper and finer grits of abrasive film, finishing on a strop. Thanks for the note.
Thank you. Sharpening is so critical to fine woodworking. It took me many years to learn how to create a razor sharp chisel or plane iron. Once I figured that out , woodworking was so much more enjoyable. Nothing better than being able to make a plane sing or paring the perfect joint . Thanks for teaching the younger folks great techniques and letting them see what a truly sharp chisel should look like. When I was much younger I would watch Roy Underhill do wonderful work and know that there was a big difference between his sharp tools and my tools. I bought high quality steel. Buck brothers from before 1900, James Swan, Keen Kutter from the 1920's, Sargent VBM with their English steel from around 1910. I used a Makita slow speed horizontal wet grinder and DMT diamonds stones before I could make them shaving sharp and hold an edge. Once I could do that it was a whole new ballgame. Seeing your chisel brought me back to my 20's. When Roy retired I wondered who would carry on teaching the younger generation. You are doing a fine job.
Thanks Wayne. Yes, sharpening is a gateway skill in woodworking. Sharp tools are essential. Roy Underhill continues to be an inspiration to generations of woodworkers. I’m encouraged when I see so many people learning to make things. Great to see.
Love the videos! This looks like a design Jim Tolpin uses for tool totes, meaning you are in great company! For both the planes and your handsaws, have you tried pointing your index finger forward like a finger-gun? Give it a try and see if you like it.
Thanks Rob. Yes, the Jim Tolpin tool tote was one of my influences. Nice work. Yes, I've tried pointing my finger. I just do what comes naturally to me. Best regards.
If I recall correctly, I think 20is years ago Jim Toplin released a book on tool chests. I have it and it is awesome with all kinds of inspiring designs that many have used. Great book for ideas.
Just started watching this series. So much good info in just the first video! I really enjoyed the formulaic approach to the ellipse; I was expecting the usual 'pull out a french curve and trace something that looks nice' ;) Question on the knife/chisel wall for cross-cutting the ends of the boards: I get that the goal is/was to eliminate any splintering or tearout on the back side. I'm used to seeing a knife line all the way around for that, and I get why you used the chisel to deepen the line all the way around... but I'm not sure I understand why you did the trough/trench on the back/under side of the board as well? I thought those were simply for guiding the saw while starting the cut? What purpose does it serve on the other side? Doesn't the knife/chisel line already stop the tearout? Thanks for the great video, and I'm looking forward to watching more!
Thanks Monte, I’m glad you enjoy my video. Yes, I enjoy making elliptical curves “to order”. Curves can get out of control very easily. You are correct, the “trench” on the back/under side doesn’t guide the saw. It’s not essential, it just assures me that my chisel wall is as deep as I want it to be.
In the video, at the 16:00 minutes point, I describe how to calculate the spacing for my thumb tacks on my layout. The string needs to be adjusted so it is taut when it is looped around both tacks and extended to the width dimension mark on my layout. I hope this helps.
@@treebangham "extended to the width dimension mark on my layout" that was the key part I was looking for. Didn't know if there was a formula to go with that as well, or just referencing off the lines and points drawn on the scrap material - it was a little hard to see all the marks real clearly in the video. But now knowing what I'm looking for, I found 'em ;) Thanks!
Багато руками працює. Включай, дідусь, техніку, мотори в студію! Полегшуй роботу. Буде легше і скоріше, я так думаю. А ви, глядачі, якої думки? Згодні?

Not until you pointed it out. Funny!
So exciting to tune into TH-cam this morning and to see you have a new posting. Inspiring me to stop mucking about with all the other distractions and to get back into the workshop. On a practical note I wonder whether you considered using a shooting board for the accurate end-grain work?

Oh my goodness, I'm a year late! Teehee :^) Great video!
