Love the 100 year old hand saw and the lime green smart watch in the same shot . Technology old and new!
That is the way I roll.
Been waiting to see a video of a carpenter that cuts to fit.
That’s how I do plumbing.
I’ve had home inspectors tell me my plumbing needs to be exposed for people to see.
I just started playing with wood. I don’t like nails or screws, so I’m looking forward to the challenge! I would rather create the tools I need.
Wonderful video.
This looks great. I'm never going to look at piano keys the same way.
I think you have one of the best hand tool woodworking channels!
Thanks, JIM
Great job on the squares. You do such quality and creative work. It a pleasure to watch and be inspired by you.
really terrific celtic knot carving Mr Wright, well done
Those are absolutly beautiful
I can't believe I'm just finding out that you have a second channel. I watched all of your videos can't believe I missed that. I'm headed there now. I love all your work.
thanks. that is where most of the content and fun is. this channel is just for the casual TH-cam watcher.
This project is definitely on my to-do list. Thanks
Beautiful!!!👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊
I already watched it on the other channel, but wanted to see the differences in the video on this channel. Yup, more tools vs wood singing here, that's what I thought. Music to my ears.
Merry Christmas.
Great to see mistakes were kept in the video (smashing the ebony and pinching your finger). Pleasant material to watch!
Thanks. I like to keep it real whenever possible.
Awesome work! Do you have the plans for these Sir?
No plans. They're just two sticks of wood at 90° or 45°. You can make them any shape and size you want.
@@WoodByWright ok awesome
I Always enjoy the hand tool builds James thank you. Have a great day and a wonderful Christmas with your family.
Check out "The Art of Boat Building" he has a nice list of tool building videos as well. Even if you aren't into hand built boats, his hand built tools are beautifully done. (He has a playlist of the tool builds, I believe).
Really amazing work, James! Beautifully done! 😃
Happy holidays! And stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Piano keys, brilliant!
Truly awesome and inspirational. Happy Solstice.
Beautiful work. Thanks!
As usual, excellent and always entertaining and informative. Happy Holidays to you and your family. Stay safe and healthy!!
Hi James. I was surprised that you didn't use the 2 circles with intersecting lines method to check for square. Best regards
Ya there are a bunch of different methods for it. I just find flopping the squair to be the fastest.
Excellent project as usual.
Have you tried transferring the drawing rather than glueing the paper down? If you go over the back with a really soft pencil you can then draw over the lines to transfer them. It would save scraping the paper off after.
Yes. I've done transferring I've done hand drawing I've done a bunch of other methods. I find gluing it on to be the fastest and most efficient. Even if I were to transfer it or hand draw it on as soon as I was done the next thing I would do is scrape The surface to get it ready for finishing.
Fantastic beautiful shop made tools! But have you ever thought you may have been a Egyptian in a former life and carving all the beautiful scrolls on the tombs for the pharaohs of king and queens in the pyramids!
Beautiful.
Them look nice and I need a set of them
LOVES THE MUSIC
Great video
Merry Christmas To you and your family.
For anyone wanting a no guesswork way to set a layout for making these without a square to start with... 3, 4, 5 pythagorean theorum, 3" mark, a 4" mark then 5" between them is dead nuts square.
EDIT: for a 45 you'd look for a 2.5" measurement between your marks..... that measurement on the 45 is wrong. I really shouldn't post math when I haven't slept in 24 hours lol, but 3x3 and then your length between being just shy of 4.25 (4.243) gives... well that basically gives your standard speed square. 90 degree corner and a 45 degree diagonal.
Another alternative to make a layout grid is to overlay a pair of 3x4x5 marks to make a 3x square then use a straight edge across the corners.
And while I put inches in the initial post, it works with any equal multiples of 3x4x5, so 9cmx12cmx15cm would also give a right angle.
That's a good way to do it. You can also use the circle method. And there's a few others. I find the drawing the line and flipping it over to be the fastest and simplest though. But everyone's different.
My issue with this is if you’ve got the skills and tools to do this to begin with then your 100% going to have a good square anyway
@@shaunkirby8506 I maybor may not have run a chop saw through a square... and have witnessed my old man push one through a table saw. When I worked construction my speed squares routinely grew legs. So just because you either have or had a good square doesn't mean you may not need to replace one.
Just did an edit, because I was wrong on measuring for a 45
Nice work
WBW: "Man I love walnut"..."such a nice wood to work..,
Me: Man if I sawed that piece of wood on a Monday, I would have to take the rest of the week off to get over it. Along with a good sharp saw, I would also need 4 tanks of breathable oxygen and a bungee cord hooked up to my elbow. Good job brother
did I see you using a plane makers float? very nice.
yes that and a crescent file to do the sides of the mortise.
Super!!!!
I love the carving. In your experience, does a wooden square hold up to penciling lines?
Ya. For thousends of years wooden squares were the standard.
If the beam is of a stable hard wood it should. Obvously, the beam should not be made of soft pine or balsa wood, or any other wood that dents just by looking at it the wrong way.😁
Dark is walnut but what's the lighter colored wood? I have scraps of the same, hard dense wood but can't identify. Please help.
White oak. The pens are made out of ebony. if you want more detail I have a whole video on the second channel where I talk through the build. That's the channel where I do more education and information.
So basically, you need to be a decently good carpenter already to make it? Lol :P
Your dowel maker is awesome ^_^
I love walnut. My favorite thing I've made is walnut :)
Walnut is amazing! love working with it!
How do you "make walnut"?
😂🤣😂🤣
This one I saved :) cheers mate ‘
parabens
Well... the ripping sound too:)
cool
Walnut? Better not say that too loud. White oak might start to think there's something going on between you two! ;)
What is this tool used on 8:21? Where can I buy it?
It is a dowel plate. Here is a video talking through it's use. th-cam.com/video/wUgoXTiERRQ/w-d-xo.html I also have a video coming up soon making a stiff block for it.
@@WoodByWright Thank You James.
D'heck-u-been? You've been out of my YT feed for far too long. I don't know why. Blessings to you and yours. $0.02
I put out 4 videos every week. TH-cam only shows you a few of your subscriptions. but there is an option to look at subscriptions rather then just the feed.
@9:00 Ouchy! I tried to warn you. I shouted at the screen to be careful, but then it happened. :-)
and cut to bandaid ;)
Broken dowel at 8:37 d'oh!
Yup, slivered right off. Brittle old growth ebony for you.
"What kind of finish should I put on it?" I literally yelled out BLO! If you had used anything else I would have yelled IMPOSTOR!
LOL is there ever a question!?
ME AT LOCAL HARDWARE STORE: Where do I find jars of “that stuff?”
LOCAL HARDWARE STORE: What stuff?
ME: It comes in a crusty old jar; James Wright grabs some in his hand, smears it all over and it makes the walnut really pop.
LOCAL HARDWARE STORE: Aisle 42. If you get to the “other stuff,” you’ve gone too far.
ME: Of course. It’s the answer to everything.

"If you get to the 'other stuff' you've gone too far", ha ha ha 😆😂🤣
Shuffling on clogs*
best shop shoes you could ask for!
круто!!
So, how do you draw your "check angles" without squares ?? Isn't that some kind of square ?
Geometry can do this. All sorts of fun stuff.
Is it that depressing?
...
I suppose it is..
