“Patience, persistence, and perseverance”!

The best part is visibility. Over years everyone leaves a few in a drawer and forgets about them. Like he said at the end of the video.

Nice idea, great creativity

Awesome looking cus, you are soon going to run out of wall space, maybe time for another extension? :P

Haw Darren braw vid man and well explained an aw in ma ane language tae 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 good job man 👍

Is this a Warco Mini or Super Mini lathe?

I have similar chisels, and I'm just working on replacement handles for them. The only thing I've done differently is I've got rid of the ridge on the back (just in front of the ferrule) so you can sharpen the entire chisel without hitting it on the ridge.

What an awesome project! I wonder how flat quartz would be compared to granite.

Nice work. We shared this video on our homemade tool forum last week 😎

I don't understand, why everybody installs the X axis scale behind the table? It reduces the Y travel quite a lot.

dziś przywracalem do zycia maly nóż firmy friederich von der kohlen "rostfrei solingen" z logo opatentowanym w 1925r. naostrzyłem delikatnie bez przegrzania i goli wlosy na rece, jednak nie jestem zadowolony z rezultatu

troche szkoda tych dłut do drewna . sam robie takie nożyki, ale nie mam sposobu na zahartowanie .

Hi Darren. Nice work like to see you working with them from Brian w.germany

Really nice work!

It deserves it's own holder, next project perhaps ? Nice plane and nice video. Thanks for your effort.

Amazing work, was a delight to watch your DTI Clock come together 😊

You can get heat shrink sleeving that will make your electrical connections look much nicer. Just keep it far enough away from the soldering. a selection of 300+ varied pieces is under £4. You can also shrink pieces around allen keys so they don't get lost so easy. p.s. I felt a wave of dread when I saw your hands passing so close to the circular saw.

Get yourself a bottle of dychem marking blue. Brush it on your metal and then scribe your marks. So nice and clear. Easy to clean off too. Also, did you get hit with any customs duty to pay with it coming from China?

This seams like a good idea. Where does the spindle come from for that sharpening cup?

First 20 years or so of my life, I lived near Redditch, Worcestershire. Milwards needles have been based in Redditch since the 1600s - the history is fascinating and well worth looking into - the best paid job was needle sharpener - they earned more than doctors (but rarely lived beyond 30 years old) - they used water mill driven whetstones, no safety gear, so the constant spray of grinding dust and metal debris into their faces clogged up their lungs or blinded them - even so, they resisted all attempts to improve safety conditions, because they didn't want to reduce their wages.

Hi.Darren Nice make from Brian

Super well done Bernard Glasgow

Very nice and helpful video.

Nice project you did a great job.

Love it. The details are brilliant

Cracking job, Darren, looking forward to more. Thanks

What a great idea mate, it looks awesome 👍🏼

13:27 I don’t know if it would have helped with such a small piece but NYCCNC has a video where they use super glue and painters tape to hold thin parts in a mill. czcams.com/video/r6DCvtcU8_M/video.htmlsi=ExYffbFeooxuTJFr

Hi Darren. This is a nice make keep going I like your work 😊😊😊 From Brian w.germany

I love it

Great job Darren, looks very nice

This is such a fun addition to your workshop, I enjoyed watching immensly. Such good detail you should be proud each time you check to see if it's tea time yet 😊

That's brilliant Darren,you've nailed it pal

For 20 pounds it's a great deal... The chinesium sets are accurate and a lot cheaper than name brand.

Decent steel for the price....... could probably harden it some more if really needed....

Great to save vintage chisels, but perhaps you were a bit too aggressive?

are you from Bathgate?

Brilliant idea, Daren. I've got a rack with screwdrivers, chisels, and all sorts, nightmare at times. At least this lets you keep all the pliers in one place. Great project from scrap pieces 👏 👍🏻

Good to see you back and well

Oh man, I saw the long format video and it was epic! I learned a lot from that video. You are a true “renaissance man” as they say

That's a really nice result. Using more value in brass than the chisels cost is quite funny, though. I use cheap chisels at work, spend time sharpening them, then some git pulls one out of your toolbag and starts attacking plasterboard with it.

This was a fun video. As you said at the start, my biggest concern was the quality of the steel. It looked like you could cut it pretty easily with a file which shouldn’t be possible with good quality hardened steel (as far as I understand). You mentioned you thought it was 20-30 rc which was surprising to me, is that Rockwell or some other unit? Good chisels are usually 58+ Rockwell from what I undertand. But when you used it, it seemed to hold an edge for at least a little while, so it must not have been that soft (or I really don’t understand the Rockwell scale). I think it was James Wright who did a really extensive chisel test and tested some Aldi brand chisels that actually performed pretty well, I’m not sure if it was these ones. But maybe the steel isn’t quite as bad as we would expect? You mentioned case hardening but I was wondering if you might try to retemper it and make them a bit harder. I dunno if that would cause other problems though, like making them more brittle and prone to chipping? Anyway, that would be neat to see if you try it someday.

You have been watching a true professional woodworker. Great job.

Stumbled upon this video by chance. Enjoyed it so much I ended up subbing to your channel. Cheers man.

I have a 5 piece set of Aldi chisels, but they have wood handles out of the box. I sharpened them similar to how you did and they’re fine. I wrap the full length of the blades with cardboard and put tape around that and to close off the end to make sleeves to prevent the blades from getting banged around and dull.

Wood on a metal lathe?

I've just bought those Aldi chisels they seem good value. Those handles you made look awesome!

might have to pick some up myself
