    The problem with many CZcams videos is even though the information is great the videos are boring because they are too slow. I can get bored in less than 2 minutes. The reason why John and Matthias's videos are so awesome is they are never boring. No matter how long the video, you keep things moving at the right pace so I stay engaged and never bored.

    Best instruction ever. I don't have to listen to 45 min. about aunt Bessie's dog while trying to sort the 3 min. of actual instruction. Thank you very much.

    SUPER! I really loved the cabinet behind you with the drill bits! Keep it up

    Without doubt the easiest and most practical DIY marking gauge out there. Thanks John.

    Probably the best project about the marking gouge so far. Very easy and very effective

  • @NikosDIY
    @NikosDIY Před 5 lety

    I think this is the best marking gauge design by far. It is simple to make especially if you buy a dowel and the washer makes it work like the very-tas expensive ones. Thank you for sharing, I will try to make one for sure.

  • @clintjones7229
    @clintjones7229 Před 8 lety

    Very well done. I have searched for and found oodles of videos on how to make a marking gauge. Yours is by far the best. Simplicity in its purest form and works. No fancy brass or high dollar Bolivian mahogany or whatever. Good job!

    Wonderful video John. You provided a 2 for 1 today: Marking gauge & Dowel Maker. Very cool trick with the washer turned cutting wheel. Your gauge is certainly as effective as the ones from Veritas, and much less exspensive. You just added another tool project to my summer shop work. Thanks! :-)

    Hi John, I have a similar belt sander setup but the cheap B&D sander is held perpendicular to a base. I find it handy to have that extra reference to square and makes the B&D perform like a higher precision unit.

  • @jlinkels
    @jlinkels Před 5 lety

    Great way to make a dowel. Never had seen that before. Your video is very good, no music, no double speed playback.You could have cut out a little less so the video would be longer. But that is just for entertainment to give longer pleasure watching this. You show all steps in sufficient detail. Didn't you want to harden the washer after putting the edge on?

  • @TheChrisPineWorkshop

  • @laius6047
    @laius6047 Před 8 lety

    I liked the marking gouge a lot, but even more so I enjoyed editing style. I usually find almost all the videos on youtube too slow, as if its intended for kids (im talking about woodworking videos). Yours on the other hand show every step but 5 times quicker. Subscribed

  • @jimmcewan417
    @jimmcewan417 Před 4 lety

    Just a thought ! You could use the wheel of an old tin opener or even an old glass cutting wheel They are a lot harder than a sharpened washer and will last longer!

  • @lassesamstrom8710
    @lassesamstrom8710 Před 9 lety

    Very good. Thanks for your brillant videos.
    What I would suggest when applying the oil coatings is to do it with a small brush first.
    Then let it soak in for ten to fifteen minutes and then wipe off the excess.
    The way I often see it being done is pouring the oil onto the surface and wipe it immediately with a cloth. Or even worse: pouring the oil onto the cloth first and then onto the wood.
    This is quite wasteful, because what one´s doing is mainly to fill the cloth with oil.

    • @JohnHeisz
      @JohnHeisz  Před 9 lety +2

      Lasse Samström On the contrary, I've found the brushing it on and wiping it off wastes more. I use the same rag for several coats (sealed in a bag, and no it doesn't burst into flames), never adding any more to the rag. The oil doesn't actually soak into the wood very far, so just wiping it on is enough.
