I really like these silent woodworking videos. Can you do more? Just seeing someone build something without having to "teach, entertain or rationalize their woodworking choices" is very compelling. I think I've watched this video like 10 times (and will probably watch it 10 more at least)
You know, I have been working on diamond stones since I started hand tool work but I am interested in maybe trying out these stones. Are they “Dans” Arkansas stones? What are your 2 stones? Medium and ultra fine?
Loving the videos, starting to watch them all a second time! 😁 Curiosity question... why do you do all the stock break down and ripping with the tace vise, rather than on a saw bench or sawhorses? It looks a little awkward with the bigger boards, but it sure seems to work for you 👍
Awesome 😁 I started out cutting everything that way and just haven't evolved away from it yet! It does get awkward with long/heavy boards...perhaps a sawbench will be on the agenda for this coming year!
Good job !!! May I ask why don't you make chamfered edges? What grinding stones do you use? And what graininess? Would you buy them again? I'm thinking of buying stones and I don't know much. Thanks for the reply. Have a nice day.
My plane irons actually do have the edges relieved to give a slight camber. On a flat stone like diamond or water stone you have to lift up and just sharpen the edge of the plane iron. On oil stones like mine the middle of the stone gets more wear than the edges due to sharpening chisels etc so the very slight cup or "dish" of the stone will naturally give a mild camber to the iron. This is a medium india and translucent arkansas, I'm not sure what grit that equates to.
Hello Frank! I got a question with the hope that you can answer it Do you consider fair charge $100 USD for this shelf? I'm building one with the plans i bought from your store. I'm using Rosa morada (Mexican oak) a $4 USD ft wood I just simply don't know how much is a good price. Cheers, great video btw!
At a minimum. Pricing this kind of work is unlike pricing a deck or fence where you might double material and add labor (time). You should be charging more and more over time as you become more efficient and more skilled. It's more like pricing art than a commodity because a traditional formula would have a person charge less over time as they are able to do it faster; but in fact they should be charging more with increased efficiency and skill. Also keep in mind that at $100 ppl may not value the hand work --its very strange but ppl use the price tag to determine value and think anything with a low price is "cheap" even though it may be solid wood with hand tool joinery unlike anything they will find elsewhere. Just my 2 cents. Thank you for the plan purchase!
Thank you for your time and insight, i wil always keep in mind this knowledge and be forever grateful with you! I was really confused and I even thought that $100 USD might be to much, now I see i was under paying me way too much Thank you so much, and I'm looking forward to the plans of your walnut bookcase, i love it!
Nice woodworking, but I'm most impressed by the casual toss of that piece of paper into the bin!
Hahaha ;)

Yes, definitely!
Ha! I just caught that 3 pointer to the trash can. Well done!!
😁
I admire your precision, especially when cutting with that panel saw
Thank you!
It's awesome how poised you are in the shop. Confidence building for your viewers!!
Thanks man!!
Just beautiful.
Love that result! Simple and elegant.
Thanks!
Interested to see how you nail it onto the wall.
For something this size I use keyhole hangers for invisible hanging. same with the four shelf wall unit
Again, nice work. Beautiful piece, great display of basic skills and tools. Glad you added the sharpening routine.
Thanks Kevin!
Nice basket!
Haha I got a kick out of that part too
nice
Great work but that cross body hook shot into the trashcan... nothing but net.
I'm excited to see where this channel goes. So far excellent 👌 craftsmanship.
Thanks!
Beautiful👌

@@FranksWorkbench a silent saw bench build would be awesome 👍

If you meant chamfered edges on the wood, there is a small chamfer

Also if someone contact me for this project it'd be $350 that's with doing the rough stock prep with machine and the rest by hand
