Splitting Osage Orange is so much work. Even with a gas powered splitter it is hard. The fibers don't separate from themselves like other species. Beautiful work Andy.
I don't like telling youtubers how to run their channels, but I'm just gunna go ahead and need more, many more, videos from Mr. Rawls here. I took 10 min out of my crazy work day to watch this and it was worth every second. So relaxing.
Cool. My grandpa born in Alabama always raved on using hedge apple and bow wood for his farm and woodworking projects.. Dont know that he ever produced an artistic yet functional spatula, however he swore by it for fence posts and handles. Great video!!
Whenever i see intros like this one, with someone walking and making it look like the camera just happened to record them passing by, i like to think that they bought thousands of cameras and they keep them running 24/7 in the hopes that when they do something important, a camera will be watching them.
Hedge is the hottest firewood you can cut. I am from northern Indian and the farmers used to plant them to separate one field from the another. Now with all the macro farming I was getting paid to clear cut 175 year old "Osage" at 40inch breast height . No better wood for burning. Crooked as a question mark And only good for making fence posts and bows. So knarly that if in a row you typically have to cut down multiple trees to get them to fall
Hand made tools tend to cost a lot, but for good reason. This looks almost therapeutic in nature. I really want to work with my hands as much as you do.
I am currently working on an Osage bowl and shotgun stock. The wood is beautiful, lots of color. Thanks, you don't see many people using this wood for projects.
Wow, can't believe how much hate for such a lovely video. I make videos too and I know how much time and effort goes into a video like this. Beautifully edited, relaxed and inspirational. Subscribed!
It's not hard to build a workshop like that. My family and I have built many things and it wouldn't cost much or take a long time. At the most, this would take a year and a half.
FuckMotheringVampire My family and I aren't any where near rich. We build our own essentials (ie. 2 story Woodshed, 2 story Cabin, Chicken Coop, etc.) And it's not too hard, the only hard thing is determination and finding spare wood from people. (That's how we do it. We never bought any wood, just use left over)
OK, but if I were doing it, and I have several times, I would carve a spatula from a much smaller piece of wood (a branch for example) rather than an entire log. Nice shop! I guess I'm also a little surprised you don't have a much better way of bracing a log while splitting it. At any rate, I enjoyed your vid, and thanks for making it.
I rarely ever split wood to make my spoons or spatulas, I just included it in this video bc I wanted to try it. As you can tell my process is a little rough. I used to make Windsor and ladder back chairs and would split wood more regularly for that but haven't done it in years. As far as the waste goes, I don't throw away the rest of the log, I can use for many more projects. Thanks for watching!
Kitten Brooks ikr, I like no music in the background. His videos are really awesome I just subbed after watching a few, no music and just pure sounds from the wood shop, I love it
Hey, I discovered your vids earlier this week and have binge watched most of them, they're awesome! Love your process from start to finish, and the stillness of just working the wood with no speaking, hats off my friend.
WOW ANDY!!! This channel has grown tremendously in the short time you have been posting videos, good for you brother, and great job as always. You sir are a master maker!
Thats a nice project, but my mom had no arms and every time I see a spatula I get triggered because of how my mom had to flip pancakes. So sad. All kidding aside great video. My mom had arms.
Andy, I love your channel! I have learned a ton from watching you, and even built some end tables out of stumps after watching you do the same. You also showed me the value of not STAINING everything! I can seal with oil, and it just looks so much better! Anyway, thank you! -Another Andy!
I am curious about the chisel used in this video. Around the 8 minute mark i realized a familiar makers mark. That chisel has the same mark as one of my adzes and a friends drawknife. But the mark isnt legible on either of our tools and all we can make out is Buffalo NY. So i am just wondering what brand that tool company is?
No, I am not watching this to go to bed. But I am watching this on bed. I wonder how you got 27 likes!! Those 27 people are those same people who would literally "like" each and every comments/videos that they come across. Try talking about the day that you puke or your flooded toilet....and watch for the "likes", they won't disappoint you. 😂
i was sure that he was going to use the band saw to cut the rough shape of the spatula but when i saw that he went for some real wood working i felt proud that there are still some true wood workers out there....
Its hilarious how this guy uses a single camera, and for every shot he has to set up the cam, reset all the background, and nonchalantly go about his work. Love this channel so much.
Tee Riv 😆😂for someone who can't figure out how he got here you I'm not sure you should be flipping anything. Oh and thats a kitchen utensil not a bathroom item. Oh oh and you don't flip your turds you drop them. Does that help a little?
Floki Gaming well its his choice and people do thing differently its not all the same. He can do his own choices its not illegal to cut wood from the side
Too difficult way to do it, and the result is not formed well enough. The blade is too thick. My father used to carve fine household items, animals, toys etc. using mainly a knife, perhaps a saw and axe in the beginning. I think only hundreds of hours of hand working will develop the sense of form, and this work should start of young age, under 10. Power tools are not at all necessary, in fact they make a barrier between a woodworker and the object. Slowness of hand tools is just a benefit, and it is the essence of woodworking to learn how to cut wood, not sand it.
bekanav I thought so too. Envious shop, but not too impressed with the craftsmanship. Although it's probably better than I could do, but I watch these videos because I like watching masters perform their craft. Too be fair, he probably pumps these out by the dozens and doesn't spend a heck of a lot of time on each of his videos. Not trolling, just giving my thoughts
Bekanav when I was 10 I spent most of my time playing with Legos, building skate ramps or wasting away countless hours trying to conquer Zelda on Nintendo. That's probably why I'm doing everything wrong...
Andy Rawls I'm sorry if my comment got to you. I didn't mean to imply you weren't a good craftsman, just that I wasn't impressed with the spatula. As I said, it isn't something I could do, I just thought it seemed sped through. I guess my comments were rude, I apologize, was just agreeing with the other guy that I thought the finished product would have turned out more to my taste if it was made more with hand tools, like knives.
+Nathan Oberlander no worries I guess I miss understood you! You're entitled to your opinion and I respect that. Not everybody will agree with my methods...thanks for checking out the video👍
This video is kinda painful to watch. You have this beautiful workshop full of expensive equipment and you take a huge block of beautiful wood and make...that? Come on, a true craftsman could probably carve something better with a pocket knife in half the time. The worst part was watching you split unbraced wood with a sledge hammer over a concrete floor. Why would you even think to split it from the side like that? That being said...nice jointer?
I was thinking the same thing...but didn't want to hurt his feelings. But someone had to say it! However; I liked the way he filmed the whole "process"
TheNewOceanic nah you guys can't hurt my feeling...everybody has their opinion on things. I will say that I don't actually split the piece off for the spatula then throw away the rest of the wood. I stash it away and will use every last bit of it. I actually saved this particular chunk of wood from going to the landfill by grabbing it out of a neighbors brush pile. I'm not sure what the workshop or equipment have to do with anything but since it's my workshop I'm at the discretion to decide what I'll make and I see nothing wrong with turning a would be piece of firewood into a spatula that can be used for many many years. Regardless of all that thanks for watching!
...at least you have the guts to put a video out in the world! I love Osage Orange and it's sad how so many farmers just BURNED hedge-rows of it to clear the land! Criticism is part of growth, and the "process'. I once commented that Jimmy Diresta had made a spoon with a handle that would break due to the direction of the grain!! His "protectors" on youtube went Bizerk!! They were like Bull dogs guarding the castle and their king!! Sad for Diresta, because everyone has room to learn. (when you think you know everything, well.....you know.) Keep on Keeping' on!!!
Nope. It is indeed shit. You are correct. He also has a beautiful workshop that is been wasted as he endanger himself and misuse his tools and work bench. Quite sad.
I love how there's no timelapses or any music
just the sounds of you making it
Liam Turner i saw your comment and I just wanted to say I like tøp too
This is the only acceptable form of asmr.
Your videos give me nostalgia of memories that don’t exist
This is the cleanest shop I've ever seen !!
Strangely, I find your video very pleasing to watch. I just love how simple it is. No music, no talking, just a craftsman and his work.
Great moves Andy, Keep it up. Proud of you.
I like watching his videos when it’s cold outside. It gives me a warm vibe
This guy's channel reminds me of primitive technology
Alan Rodriguez no cuz primitive could do this faster and with less tools
Less advanced tools =/= faster production.
Rey H yes since there's no need to move and barley any difficulty starting or breaking them
Coherency check failed.
Alan Rodriguez omg I love his channel
There is no other place on TH-cam where I can go and feel so relaxed. Never stop making videos, please.
I was just wondering did you make that wood door on your shop?
I have been wondering this too
Splitting Osage Orange is so much work. Even with a gas powered splitter it is hard. The fibers don't separate from themselves like other species.
Beautiful work Andy.
This was strangely relaxing and satisfying. The spatula looks pretty too o.o
I'll have to concur.
All his videos are like meditation
I agree
Gabriel Harper ز
Ana Morais I agree, that's why I watch this guys stuff
Never seen this type of wood before. It looks great for these kind of things
I don't like telling youtubers how to run their channels, but I'm just gunna go ahead and need more, many more, videos from Mr. Rawls here. I took 10 min out of my crazy work day to watch this and it was worth every second. So relaxing.

Cristi Neagu Or he just spent 6 hours trying to get the shot "just right"
your stupid
Cristi Neagu
You remind me of that song (somebody’s watching me)
It’s hilarious 😆
Cristi Neagu ikr
Same
Him not talking makes it that much better. (In a Good)
Way*
What do you do with all the leftover wood?
firewood maby?
I'd bet that he keeps it for a future project. I've never met a craftsman who just threw things away.
more spoons and spatulas propably
mythralt you're right, it would be used in a future project. Wood of that quality is too good for firewood.
Hedge is the hottest firewood you can cut. I am from northern Indian and the farmers used to plant them to separate one field from the another. Now with all the macro farming I was getting paid to clear cut 175 year old "Osage" at 40inch breast height . No better wood for burning.

there is something almost therapeutic about your wood working, keep up the good work!
this is just like watching ASMR videos... soothing!
It is like an ASMR video but much better, it isn't some weirdo whispering into their mic making weird noises.
yes, exactly that!
Hand made tools tend to cost a lot, but for good reason. This looks almost therapeutic in nature. I really want to work with my hands as much as you do.
How often do you have to sharpen your tools? I think that would be an interesting video.
KatyDID it’s not a bad idea to hone them with regular use, but I promise you it isn’t interesting.
Interesting to see this. About 8 years ago I made wooden spatulas and spoons for my family our of the same wood. Best wooden utensils ever.
Cool project! Beautiful wood!
You are a fucking dumbass
Can't help but notice you hung the door to your shop PERFECTLY!
What type of varnish did you use to coat the wood?
just mineral oil...no varnish
or else it would be bad if you used it for food D:
Andy Rawls hoi
I am currently working on an Osage bowl and shotgun stock. The wood is beautiful, lots of color. Thanks, you don't see many people using this wood for projects.

Jing Bekemeyer stfu what's the point of you streaming you have no subscribers your own friends don't even subscribe to you and what does het mean???
itzyourboy Samuel nice channel
itzyourboy Samuel I subbed
Nice, nature cut it for you and everything! love those automatic trees.
what kind of spatula has a handle on the side???
yo mama THANK YOU! I was confused the whole time thinking maybe it would make sense in the end.... nope.
Used to taste broth or soups.
Madman0001 that's what spoons are for
Cakes
yo mama I know right. I'm Luke you either don't know what a saptaula looks like or your artistic skills are horrible
Love how you used a stump already cut and you didn’t cut the tree down 🥺❤️ Lovely result to!
My back is hurting just watching you split that wood
I dunno why but I love watching people carve wood
How much would a work shop like that cost?
More than that I'd bet. He's most likely been doing this for over 20 years. 10s of thousands of dollars in this equipment.
I want to know what he does for a living. He didn't make all that money for the shop and tools woodworking.
+TheKlickitat he makes furniture
It's not hard to build a workshop like that. My family and I have built many things and it wouldn't cost much or take a long time. At the most, this would take a year and a half.

When you ran the blank through the joiner and planer, you lost me. Tidy shop. Very nice tools! Excellent video skills! Thanks.
That is a very strangely-shaped spatula.
Its not. There are different types of spatulas..
Thank you!! I couldn’t get past it either! Nice work and video, but the shape kind of ruined the whole thing for me
OK, but if I were doing it, and I have several times, I would carve a spatula from a much smaller piece of wood (a branch for example) rather than an entire log. Nice shop!

eqlzr2 I think he used a log to challenge himself but I see were your coming from
Andy Rawls Do a music on the video's
eqlzr2
Osage has a beautiful yellow color !! Great job !!!
why did you use a wedge and sledgehammer instead of a maul or axe?
cause a wedge is the hipster way of doing it.
BUST IN PAINTS a wedge give u more control over where it splits
Or, I dunno... a bandsaw.. And then a sander. Your shop, your wood, your tools, your rules, but damn.
Damon Diehl how big is your band saw I want one of those
I have used a wedge before- but it was confusing seeing him do it from the side
I love silent woodworking videos so much.
Nice projects
The Casey Neistat of wood working
The leafy of TH-cam comments
The generic You Tub reply er.
xIronwafflexx my point was that leafy is cancerous.
Angry Atheist My point was that your comment is standard and generic.
Not as standard and generic as your profile picture and channel name.
how did i just watch ten minutes of a guy carving a spatula with no background music
Isabel Arrazola you did. and I did too
Isabel Arrazola is it just me... or... do the sounds seem strangely satisfying?
Kitten Brooks ikr, I like no music in the background. His videos are really awesome I just subbed after watching a few, no music and just pure sounds from the wood shop, I love it
Prior Gaming same!
Same! I love how he doesn't need to narrate or say anything the whole time.
I love Osage, such a nice looking wood! Awesome video, again! Good work.
Who else loves the smell of wood
And gasoline
And gasoline
*And gasoline*

Spatula*****
aqua_bro it’s nothing like a spatula 🤣
Well, that's the plot line of every Chinese bamboo craft videos....
I'm in woodshop at school so i see this stuff every day but still amazes me
Anyone else hear that extremely high ringing at the beginning?
Flexagone you don't need to apologize 😀
You really didn’t know about the way metal sounds..?
@@chauve_ that piece of iron is called wedge.
@@tangerineman27 How would Stone Age people know about iron leave alone the sound of it?? 🤣😂
Wow--a beautiful piece of wood, workshop and final product! Thank you for the video!
Your description calls it Bodark, but I think it is Bois d' Arc, but still pronounced the same.
Anthony Browning not pronounced the same lol It's pronounced bw-ah da-rk
Man I just love your videos Andy.
how many splinters did you get when you were new at carving 😱
Man I love bodark.....it is SICK how hard that stuff is
can't get over the fact that the handle is not centerd.
Costin Dabu that's the point, smarty
Nikita Chen But why?
Different uses I guess, I've seen a couple other spatulas like that.
id say it dosnt realy look like a spatula
ihunt113 I thought the same thing
Incredible craftsmanship, and such an eye for detail!! Thanks for sharing!!
can you make a base ball bat plz
I like how organized his shop is
Thats a nice project, but my mom had no arms and every time I see a spatula I get triggered because of how my mom had to flip pancakes. So sad. All kidding aside great video. My mom had arms.
What a sick fuck...and funny too. ;-)
jason you mean has arms
Oh my mom died years ago of cancer. So your wish came true... I guess
had. She is dead
Sad
These videos just relax me so much, just watching the process, its so chill
you are so talented its crazy if the world went to hell you wouldnt even notice lol
the world is going to hell....
time travel?
I’m not sure what is more impressive... the making of the spatula or the sharpness of his tools
"I'm a professional football player!"
"I'm a famous actor!"
"I carve spatulas."
These videos are really satisfying.
for some reason it scares me that he's not wearing safety goggles, I know he's professional and all but being an ex carpenter, it's just scary lol
Elizabeth Baker your an ex carpenter?
yeah why
Elizabeth Khalifa
The only thing that really required safety glasses was the wood jointer
watching you doing wooden work helps me relax .. thank you 💛
What's with people and the shape of the spatula it's not that weird it's just a spatula nothing wrong with an offset handle
Solid craftsmanship. Good work man!
I like how he only used hand tools (except for the planer, and jointer)
Andy, I love your channel! I have learned a ton from watching you, and even built some end tables out of stumps after watching you do the same.
You also showed me the value of not STAINING everything! I can seal with oil, and it just looks so much better!
Anyway, thank you!
-Another Andy!
+Andy Cook thanks so much...it's great to hear you were inspired by my videos. Yes to NO stain!
I thought the title said from an orange sausage stump 😂😂
I am curious about the chisel used in this video. Around the 8 minute mark i realized a familiar makers mark. That chisel has the same mark as one of my adzes and a friends drawknife. But the mark isnt legible on either of our tools and all we can make out is Buffalo NY. So i am just wondering what brand that tool company is?

No, I am not watching this to go to bed. But I am watching this on bed.

While watching this video two things came to my mind... How calming this is and splinters.
That spatula ain't flipin shit but idk how I ended up here bruh smh 😅😴
Tee Riv 😆😂for someone who can't figure out how he got here you I'm not sure you should be flipping anything. Oh and thats a kitchen utensil not a bathroom item. Oh oh and you don't flip your turds you drop them. Does that help a little?
These videos are really relaxing and interesting to watch. Makes me want to learn woodwork.
what would someone use a spatula that shape for? scratching my ass
bruce campbell putting frosting on a cake
Literally anything you would use a Normal spatula for
Bruce, that is possibly the most retarded comment I’ve read....ever! If you were in his workshop, you’d be the biggest tool in there..
You're like the Primitive Technology of woodworking.
What the fuck is TH-cam recommending me 😤
Ethan Wild Good shit
The Wandering Dovahkiin word
Ethan Wild good stuff
Ethan Wild A video on a person making a spatula
Your just something amazing and talented. Like i dont know what to say. Keep it up breh
that's one fucked up looking spatula.
Jude Tube i’d like to see you make a better one.
Damn nice job. It's so satisfying to watch sharp tools cutting through rough wood and making it smooth. Cool process video too!
I'm sooo frustrated watching him split wood. it's all wrong.
I thought the same thing! Why did he go from the side
James Passarelli me too
James Passarelli He did it because he wants to. His choice.
Floki Gaming well its his choice and people do thing differently its not all the same. He can do his own choices its not illegal to cut wood from the side
Neptune Planetpune Ya, Ikr. He's cutting wood from the side. "Big deal" 🙄
I absolutely love your videos, you can sense the passion and pride in every aspect! The video, the craftsmanship, the bio! Omg keep going please :)
Hey its Donald stump
thats a beautiful piece of wood. nice colour!
daddy af
I love the L & I.j. White chisel made in Buffalo, NY. Excellent work my friend.
