YouTube Collaboration with JimmysCanal
I am delighted and honoured to have been asked by Dimitris, the man behind @JimmysCanal to help him out with his latest project.
He has been commissioned by a luthier to make a circle cutter to draw out the space for a rosette around the sound hole on a guitar. Needless to say Dimitris has made a stunning tool, with the care and attention to detail he is famous for.
He asked me if I could design and make the blades for the cutter. My gift was one of the circle cutters specially made for me. Happy days.
Hope you enjoy the video and especially Dimitris's video on the making of the tool, which is way harder than my contribution.
Please check out Dimitris's (JimmysCanal)'s video: czcams.com/video/w7HY6pdYMSw/video.html

Super Simple Temporary Router Table
zhlédnutí 1,1KPřed rokem
I wanted to make a super-simple router table I could attach to my workbench when needed and easily remove and store away. This is totally inspired by @jisakukobo and his fantastic, simple design for a desktop router table. However, my benches are too tall so I decided to adapt his ideas but I owe him all the credit.

Making a homemade Japanese style chisel
zhlédnutí 878Před rokem
Yet another tool I have had to make in order to complete my Tanto project is a Saya Chisel. When I was making the handle for my Tanto blade, I really struggled to cut out the profile of the tang as my chisel kept digging into the wood. I then found out that Japanese craftsmen overcome this with a gently curved chisel specially to make the "Saya" or scabbard. Here I attempt to make my own versio...

    I think you should use a proper etching head which would provide equal pressure and less liquid. This way you can get better results from bother.

    I think you may have spent more money than you needed to. All you proved is the stone was out of round. That’s an easy fix if you have a diamond grading/truing tool. Regardless, you’ve got a good machine there. I’m hoping to pick up a us3d one too cos there’s no way I’m spending buying a new one.

    It doesn't matter whether it was due to the shaft. . The imbalance can be removed with the diamond device "Tormek TT50" and the grinding stone can be dressed like new. Then there is no more imbalance and it runs smoothly again. At most you could just replace the main shaft bearing Greeting

    Very good work .me personally I prefer to attach the skales to the knife first then shape the handle Wild attached instead of individually, cutting out each side I tend to make a lot of mistakes doing it that way, and less mistakes, actually attaching them first, then shaping them but hey to each their own me personally I just felt like I made fewer mistakes, attaching the scale first then shaping versus cutting out each individual scale to match sides great work on your blade. I found your video informative.👍🏽

    I just got through taking off the wheel on my SuperGrind 2000. Your way of removing the wheel is the easiest way to go. Definitely a design flaw by Tormek to not use a Stainless Steel shaft (as all new shafts are)to prevent the inevitable rust freeze of the shaft to the grindstone. I did watch an instructional video by two Tormek technicians on their system. They recommended placing some machine grease in the plastic bushings. I'm awaiting the arrival of the new SS shaft. Cheers from across the pond. Don M

  • @borderreiver7259
    @borderreiver7259 Před 9 měsíci

    If you want to engrave a shape, such as you have tried, make a former/pattern. I use a base of 20thou styrene, cut out my pattern in the same material and stick it to the base. Use a round blunt follower and go round your pattern. You can make the pattern 2 ,3 or 4 times bigger than the finished work to improve the result. Note that the follower and cutter need to be in the same ratio as the pattern and shape. For a pattern twice the size of your shape the follower has to be twice the size of the cutter. Pantograph Services will grind cutters to any shape/size. I have some parallel cutters from 0.5mm to 2mm in 0.5mm increments. The problem you would have with your leaf shape is getting a true 'V' - even a 0.5mm cutter would leave a curved base but you could file it out.

    Thank you Sir, for your video, I found that the Tormek TT-50 Truing and Dressing Tool - Keeps your Stone Round and Flat is a worthwhile investment. A previous owner must have used the stone without water causing a gouge in the wheel. The diamond dressing tool brought it back flat and round. After watching ALL the instructional videos that Tormek has posted on CZcams and what I have learned from them, I would NOT let just anyone use my Tormek. And yes, I have spent 5 times as much on the various SuperGrind 2000 attachments from Amazon that I need for my wood carving tools. The Tormek TT-50 Truing and Dressing Tool was the last accessory I purchased but it should have been the FIRST. It looks like the E-Z Lock shaft may be next. LOL
