One of you asked me about my dovetail guide for marking tails, so here is the building process video. If you don't know basic rules how to use them and how to choose corect ratio you have to learn your lesson ;) google have a lot materials about it. For example this video by Matt Estlea czcams.com/video/Yue6GKRa3Ak/video.html I need one set of guides in 1:4, 1:6 and 1:8 ratios. I think that's universal values forever. One set will go to my supportes. If you wan't to know how to become a suporter just read whole the description. The rest of dovetaile guide sets will be offer on my instagram profile, link below. If you're interested feel free to check it. Thank you for your time! It will be a pleasure for me if you decide to check my other projects and hit subscription button. Cheers!
Thanks for the cool video! On the ratios I don't think it is as clear cut (or as complex) as many make it to be. If we look at old furniture we can see all sorts of ratios in both softwood and hardwood - and the stuff has survived. Plus the dovetails often look like a dog's breakfast :) Richard Maguire (the English Woodworker) had a great rant about that subject... (and Chris Schwarz as well on a visit to Roy Underhill's Woodwright's Shop, I think). However, as you are very exact in everything I think it makes totally sense, it is a question of style and neatness - you do great and very pretty work! It inspires me to practise my dovetails a lot more.
awesome buddy! went for long hike down the beach and thru the woods...come home and i see your new video...all is right with the world for this moment! thanx for video Stavros
I've been with working for about 25 years. I learned from reading old books and magazines. I've watched dozens of Woodworkers on CZcams and most of them are hacks. Not all but most. Gakos is not one of those. I would recommend this guy to anyone who is trying to get into woodworking. He's not just a woodworker. He's a true Craftsman. An Artisan.
Hi Stavros, Always look forward to another of your videos, always nice work and lovely tools. I'm setting up to build a shooting board and I think I'm going to use your shooting plane as a template/guide, love the steadiness, apparent weight of it. I see you're offering these dovetail guides for sale, and if I didn't already have an old antique bronze set I'd definitely be interested, but, would be very interested in anything else you offered for sale. Hopefully on Etsy as I find buying there very handy, also I see you do have a profile on Etsy, which I've followed/favorited in the hopes of seeing more there. Thanks again for putting these excellent videos out,
@@musamor75 LOL! I meant to type spalted, but my computer switched to the word salted. Are you talking about bog oak from brackish waters? That would be cool to work with, and cool to watch, too. Have a merry Christmas, and peace to all the world.
Excelente tutorial , como hacer guías de cola de milano , casi en serie , gracias por compartir tanta información y conocimientos , un saludo cordial y por supuesto un gran like desde Narón , Galicia (España) 🤓 😜
Fantastic and beautiful, as always. That's interesting why you put the metal sole on the shooter; It's pretty obvious though, because it's very, very hard to shoot end grain with a wooden sole plane. Nearly impossible. I will be honest, I ended up buying the low angle block plane, and the low angle shooting plane made by Veritas. Not cheap, but a real joy to use. Of course with your big wooden plane you have some weight to push. It's all about stability. Some end grains are SO hard, they can push any blade out of it's adjustment. The small block plane will NOT do the job- you need weight and push to get through it. Great job Stavros. God bless.
very nice Stavros what do you think of the Osmo as a finish? been using it for a while, love that it penetrates and has that wax finish on the surface wipe on, job done
Hi stavros awesome work as always 👏 😀 Is the spalted wood your using stabilised? And in your experience is spalted wood long lasting/durable? All the best 👍
Hey Martyn, thanks! The wood wasn't stabilised. I made some tools out of this wood about 3 years ago and they are fine 👍 i didn't noticed any weakness. Cheers!
Thanks for this vidéos and all vidéos you postes For me a professor in hand tools building I wonder if I can buy on hand made shooting plane I am in love for it Thanks
Excellent vid. I'm curious why you go to the bandsaw for so much of your cutting work when in most other situations you are a handtool fanatic. Is it just for convenience?
It's actually not particularly obvious why the bandsaw would be one of the only power tools he'd use if convenience was the only explanation. One doesn't make hand tools to make other hand tools if convenience is the only consideration. A router and jointer are "more convenient" than a hand plane for most woodworkers. There are other explanations that could account for why he'd prefer to use the bandsaw, though. Repeatability, being one. Bandsaws also still require finesse and skill in a way that table saws don't (what David Pye would call the "Workmanship of Risk"). Therein lies my question. What are the factors that go into deciding the bandsaw is where he draws the line of being a useful power tool?

Thank you, i got shop on etsy but i never used it. At this time i preffer trasaction by DM :) Cheers!
Love the salted woods. A great idea for a stocking stuffer! Have a Merry Christmas!
Not "SALTED". SPALTED!!! If you want salted then go to bog oak.
@@musamor75 LOL! I meant to type spalted, but my computer switched to the word salted. Are you talking about bog oak from brackish waters? That would be cool to work with, and cool to watch, too. Have a merry Christmas, and peace to all the world.

Hi Stavros I've been cutting dove tails all week 🤪lol but as usual anouther superb video from your shop . still can't do the snapping fingers lol
Keep trying 😉 Cheers!
Nice work. So simple. Gonna have to make me some. I can't get over that salted beech though, how much of it do you have left? Lovely.
Thanks Paul, i have 3 boards yet, about 1200/250/30 but only one is quartersawn. Cheers!
very nice Stavros
what do you think of the Osmo as a finish?
been using it for a while, love that it penetrates and has that wax finish on the surface
wipe on, job done
Hey Scott! I like it, but i don't like waiting between each coat :)

I am in love for it
Thanks
You're welcome Michele!
Sorry but i don;t have any for sale..

Un trabajo impecable como siempre, la madera muy bonita, por cierto, qué madera es?. Saludos

Hey, some parts of work i want to make quicker so i use my band saw because i don't have a table saw. That's all. Cheers!
super wykonanie jak zawsze :) tylko moj angielski troche kuleje pozdrawiam
Dzięki :) potraktuj to jako szansę na szlifowanie języka ;)
Ja Ciebie rozumiem ;)
Świetny film :D i zapytam gdzie mozna dorwać taki bloczek ?
Dictum , albo allegro lub ebay . Jest dużo opcji . Nie jest tanio ale trafiają się świetne kawałki
Dzięki! Dostałem od znajomego, zawsze możesz sam zagrzybić drewno i trochę poczekać :)
Dzięki za film :)
Na zdrówko ;)
Wow… would you be kind enough to come back on your end grain plane (shooting board)!??
Do you mean another video? I think that everything was showed in the shooting plane video :)
@@StavrosGakos so sorry ! I probably missed it. Will research for it . Cheers Sir .
No worry, check video no 044 👍 Cheers!
