I knew after the first couple of videos that Cora was in, that she would never leave. She chose you, and it’s obvious to anyone who ‘knows’ dogs, that you two already have a very special bond. She’s a beautiful dog.
Oh yes, and the sharpening content was interesting too! 😂
Thanks, Steve.
Yes when a dog chooses you it is a privilege beyond most!
You became Cora's when she first showed up.
Steve you're setting the bar so high in your approach to everything you do. Whether it's learning a new skill or sharpening something, everything has to be done just so. If I could be more like you just 5 minutes of the day, I'd be such a better person.
Having a t&c grinder along o a horizontal mill makes so much sense. Enjoyed Steve, wish you all the best.
Thanks Stefan👍. I enjoy the cutter grinder work . All the setup is what I like . Definitely a challenge
Thanks for making Cora's day and adopting her she looks like a very sweet Dog!!
I call that wood Osage Orange. It's what I make my handcrafted primative bows out of. I carved a recurve bow out of that wood back when I was 23. I'm now 53 and I STILL use it to hunt with. Great wood!!!
Whatever you do, I appreciate waking up at 5am Saturday morning, making my coffee and having something interesting to watch. Today I only got halfway through before kiddos stuff took over, but just finished it and want you to know it doesn't go unnoticed
Hedge Apple is Osage Orange. It is one of the hardest North American hardwoods with a Janka rating of 2620. Janka rating is the amount of force it takes to imbed a 7/16ths steel ball halfway into the material. I have made a number of wood mallets from it. My brother in law has a stash that came from a National Guard base. It was cut when they trimmed the training area and then tried to run it through a wood chipper. The chipper said NO!!! Osage has the highest BTU value when it comes to burning,
Yep, very dense stuff and like 25% more BTUs than oak.
G'day Steve, I'm so pleased that you've decided to adopt Cora. What a delightful, affectionate dog. And a definite bonus for your shop!
Welcome, Cora! My dog Lilu has the exact same story...now she's a part of the family :)
This is Bill using my wife's phone.
I enjoy watching you so much. I love what you do from machining to rebuilding your truck. I love it all!
Keep up the good work and I will watch whatever you have time to post.
Also love the new pup.
Morning! Cold here in Dorset, UK
i really liked your shop rebuild. the machine shop stuff is so much better. you never see this anywhere else. so much knowledge on the really
interesting and great stuff. no more truck crap. any moron can fix a truck.
It’s great that Cora is staying with you she’s a lovely dog 👍. And a great sharpening video as well. Saturday mornings aren’t the same without one of your videos.
Cora is a keeper for sure😁. I definitely try hard to get a video out every week. Sometimes I just can't find time with my work and family schedule . Thanks for watching.
The "Cora Story" sounds like a gift from God. Both to your family and Cora.
Your kindling looks a lot like the Osage Orange trees that we have for wind breaks around here.
So happy the you’re keeping Cora! She clearly loves you and you can never have too much of that. I always watch how people treat their animals; you learn a lot about a person by that.
I agree on Osage Orange. In some parts of the country, it has a French name, Bois D'arc (or some such spelling). They are not common in eastern VA but were sometimes used in The Valley for hedges. I have been told that they have a large thorn which will penetrate a tractor tire.
I read they were planted close together so the thorns were very dense, much like barbed wire. It was the predecessor to "bob war".
I LOVE your little dog Cora she looks like a real sweetheart, im 63 on disability and live alone and would absolutely LOVE to have such a great little girl like her for company. Unfortunately im not in a good enough situation to properly keep a dog like I used to, I dont have a big enough yard or a safe enough area to do her justice and I wont have a pet unless I can properly care for it and be sure its safe and happy. I once had a beautiful husky collie mix I named Lady and had her some 17 years and I bawled like a baby when she became very ill and had to be put down. Just love Cora though I watch for her in every video, she looks like such a good natured little girl. Im glad youre keeping her because I know she will always be well cared for loved and happy as long as you have her. Great video too.
I started watching your channel during the shop remodel. My dad was a contractor, so growing up, I was around construction a lot. I continued to watch because you showed things that I hadn't and probably won't experience in my life. Because of my time in the army. I have some issues that make most of what you do impossible for me to experience personally, so I guess when it comes to your CZcams channel, I live vicariously through you and your experiences.
Buildings, trucks do all machines, etc. It's different from what I normally see in life.
Thank you for sharing with me.
Thanks for your service 🙏.
I appreciate you watching all the stuff I get into.
BTW big dog lover. Glad Cora is staying.
@@troypost4033, Thanks for your service, from a fellow vet. Welcome home. 🇺🇸
"every once in a while, I have a weakness to buy something and try it out". I feel the same way. Great video as always. Glad cora has a great home
Finally glad to hear you admit that Cora is staying with you Steve. Yippee!! The cutter grinder show and tell is exactly how I like it too. Too many words in a book without diagrams and my brain fries! Any video you post, whenever you can is ok with me Steve, if work and family life get in the way then so be it. That's Life! Cheers from the UK mate and stay safe as that bloody Covid is still around, well it is in the UK anyway.
Cora is a great addition to the channel, not just the shop. I love the running conversation with her. She adds to the whole.
Mr. Summers, You are one cool dude, mean it!! Love the new family addition....🍁
Good to see Cora keeping you well supervised!!
That sounds about right Brian😄. She is keeping me busy with lots of chewed up wood bits.Hope you are doing well buddy.
I knew that dog would stay with you,she loves you so much that i can smell it😁
Hi Steve, Another great video! Hedge Apple, sometimes just Hedge, aka Osage Orange, aka Bois d'Arc (French meaning wood for bows, as in bow and arrow). Native Americans prized this wood for making bows. It has a very high heating content (BTUs / pound or Joules / Kg), higher even than oak. It is extremely rot resistant (I know of hedge fence posts that must be close to a hundred years old and are still solid in the ground. When silver soldering/brazing, I often like to cut off a small piece of silver solder and place it in the flux. I get much better control of the amount of solder applied. It is very malleable and sometimes it makes sense to pound a small piece flat rather than use it as is in the round.
You are so right. A picture paints a thousand words.
Steve: Thank you a million times for deciding to make Cora a permanent employee! I watch you every week from Thailand. I can force myself to watch your portion of the content, but I mostly come here just to check on Cora. 😊
Love your content mate. Doesn't matter what it is, I like watching it. It's always interesting. Great that Cora is now a permanent addition to the family. Great shop dog.
At 9.00 I am petting my own rescue dog, Sonny. They are just the best.
Every shop needs a Cora. Thanks for sharing!
These are very expensive tooling and being able to recover them is a real blessing for sure. Little Cora is a real blessing in your life. She was drawn there for good reason. Like you I learn best with hands on. You will make a great teacher though. Always a good thing these Saturdays when we see a new post from you my friend. Take care and GOOD JOB ! ! ! Especially with any type stainless. It can be difficult at the best of times. Magnetic or not.
Thanks Steve, really pleased that Cora is going to be a permanent resident in the shop…………..I do like a happy ending!!
Happiness is a large pile of pretty chips
Great video as usual, and Cora is the shop Dog of the new year 2023! We should have a vote on that. God bless
That lucky girl sure walked into a great home ,have a great day you guys
very interesting video 😀
I must admit that I covet your tool grinder. It is a very useful too for any shop. Putting a good sharp edge on any cutting tool always makes a job go better and faster. I'm Looking forward to your next project. KOKO!
Steve it’s easy for us we just watch, you have all the hard work, enjoy your videos pal, Terry from Scotland 👍👴🏻
Always love your content. And we got a 4sec look at you Bride that wish she would be hang out more like in the past. Give her my best. The cutter regrind and showing the set up was very well filmed. on the little torch, I bought in 2005 a Henrob torch kit. Was very expensive then, but the flame control at the tip is pin point like a Tig. Great content again this Saturday, see you next week, Bear.
I can't believe I forgot you had that horizontal boring mill. Heck, you had a whole series on building that years ago. Now I know where all those cutting wheels are going to be used. Thanks Steve for all you do.
I'm glad you decided to keep Cora, I kind-of got the feeling you would. She really is a good dog, and you can tell that she's happy there with you.
Great video Steve! My father planted a few of those “hedge apple” which we call Osage Orange trees on our property.
Throughout the years, he has used this extremely durable hardwood to make some beautiful cedar chests, knife handles, and even longbows from these amazing trees! Huge frickin thorns! And they will make a wound darn sore after you get poked by em! They are fast growing, and provide some good shade, but those hedge apples will be everywhere when the season is right, and they start to drop from the branches. Great trees, and an even better woodworking medium.
Loving all the new shop pup content too! She is a sweetheart haha!
Seeing you sharpen up that cutter (we call 'em a 'side & face' here in the UK) brought back memories of my apprentice days back in the late sixties, good to see the old K&T using it to good effect. I could see a few weeks ago Cora was gonna be a 'keeper'. All The Best from a frosty, foggy Somerset, England.
Cora is a great pup she is lucky to have found you and Elizabeth.
I'm just now getting ready to learn to grind on my Cincinnati #2 tool and cutter grinder, thank you for the great video. Whether it's a mill, shaper or grinder too many You Tubers skip the setup; Steve you are a great teacher. Keep 'em coming
Thank you for all the hard work, and for today’s “Corra?” Storyline
Good morning Steve from a sunny and cold Dorset.
Hedge-apple == osage orange. A great wood for lots of things where you need a tough, springy wood such as (traditionally) bows and arrows.
Glad to know you are keeping the little dog. She found you. It was meant to be. Great video as usual
Steve, Osage Orange. We used to farm along a hedge of them and was always having flat tires because of their thorns. If use for a post, nail fence while still green. Once they dry out they a hard as iron. Keep up the great vids.😊
Howdy Excellent and informative show today. Thank you for taking the time to do so.
Very interesting, especially for me as I have gotten interested in grinding of all types. I had never seen a cutter grinder before. Thanks for letting us watch and for the excellent explanations. Greetings to you and to Cora from Bruce, Karin, Halgrim (4 year-old GSD) and Bella (9 month old rescue from Romania) in Germany.
Osage Orange, is the name we use. It burns extremely hot. It used to be used in fence posts all over up north. The last I did research on it, the animal that used to eat the seeds is no longer around so there are no new trees being replanted. The seeds had to go through the digestive system of that animal to become viable.
Always great to see ya, Steve. It can't be easy with job and family. And welcome Cora.
Thank you Steve. Enjoyed! Glad your keeping Cora!
"Told and see", yup!
Enjoyed this video.
Morning Steve! Hopefully you're keeping warm.
I have one of these tiny torches and love it for my silver work. I use oxy/propane. Works great. Thanks again for another post from you. I can watch these all day eh.
Your shop has truly taken shape over the last couple of years. Cora seems like a great dog. Thanks very much for sharing.
Did you really think we didn’t KNOW that Cora wasn’t there to stay.🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸Enjoy your videos.
The shop looks wonderful Steve!! Thanks for taking time to make these videos, they're a high point of my day! Great video on that cutter - loved the graphics too. Also, love your closeup work - puts me RIGHT THERE. Cheers!
And Thank YOU for taking the time to make excellent content for us every week. See ya next time, Steve.
This was another Great Video Steve..
Loved watching it as always. 👍
Hedge apple is the Osage Orange tree. Its the hardest hardwood in North America. Very hard but easly bent and not brittle. Native Americans used it to make their bows. Just an FYI. 😄
From my many years of experience, both learning and teaching others, you are more common than strange. Pictures really helps for understanding. Often because the text that should explain the matter is not so good. 😂
Good morning Steve, great to see Cora is officially a Summers family member ❤ I think you were a shop teacher in your past life. Great explanation of tool resharp. "A picture tells a thousand words".
Keep up the great content, and thank you for keeping Cora.
Great video Steve, soooo happy you decided to keep her! My daughter loves her!
Always a pleasure.
When I was very young it was the morning cartoons on the weekends. Just turned eighty and can't wait until Saturday mornings to see if a new video is waiting for me from your hard efforts. Now what does that tell you? Our two Jack Russels, Happi and Joy, welcome your addition of Cora to the ranks as well.
I like Cora. I'm glad she's going to stay.
Great to hear that you are keeping Cora. Nice work with the regrind.
Best wishes, Dean.
beautiful dog and great work mate
Great video. Good practical sense. Thanks Ron
7:20 In Michigan we call it Osage Orange - the beautiful wood that Steve is talking about.
always good videos can't wait until the next one.
As usual, awesome content from one of my favorite creators. On that kindling, I agree with others that it looks like Osage Orange or mock orange, as it's known in WPA. Native Americans valued the wood for bows and bartered/traded for it at great distances. Would like to see more of the cutter grinder: setups, grinding versatility, stone choices, etc. Great work, Steve! Thanks!
Great informative content. I had a chance to buy one of those torches for $25 cdn at Princess Auto, in a damaged box. I hesitated and another guy scooped it up . Glad Cora is part of the family, you all deserve each other. Cheers
Good morning from Cambridgeshire, UK! Nice grinding job, the cutter seems to be doing great - also happy to see you are keeping Cora - she's a lovely dog, she'll probably be a bit more docile after speying, she's recovered well too! Thank you for sharing!
great video, thanks again. the wood sounds like Osage Orange, makes great traditional bows for archery.
I've got an Osage Orange (hedge, bō'd arch, bow wood) mallet I turned many years ago. Tuff, hard, heavy works great. My go to wood for tool handles of all sorts. Miles of wind breaks were planted with it in the 30's. Mostly gone now. Nearly rot proof. Thanks for the video. Nice mini torch. I could use one for brazing/silver soldering carbides.
Hooray for Cora! That is a cute little torch. Now I need to add a cutter grinder to my list of tools to get someday, maybe.
That tree is a Osage Orange, or horse apple as I've heard it called , native Indians preferred it when building bows for their bows and arrows ....
Sweating is my tool maker teacher call the process of silver solder. Make sure the blank is nicely polish and clean both carbide and blank with bottle alcohol.and rest is practicing the art.
Thank you for another great video. I got a Jones and Shipman tool and utter grinder last year and really appreciate you covering cutter grinding as there is not much out there
Glad corra is there to stay!
Hedge Apple? Ya mean Osage!!! That stuff is great for getting rid of spiders!!!
Happy Saturday Steve, Elizabeth, Cora, and Grits ! Look forward to the family every Saturday. Always educational and inspiring in machining or family. Dogs is good people. Thanks for making the effort to share and God Bless.
Maclura pomifera, hedge apple, bow wood, bois d'arc, Osage Orange. Native Americans used the wood to make bows. It's a strange bush.
Had one of that copy smiths' torches for years and run it on Oxygen and butane does the same but takes a little longer worth every penny thanks for the video and I've fallen in love with the dog thanks for looking after it; fletch from the UK
As always great job and teaching us that are not a machinist. Thank you. Glad to hear Cora is doing fine. You all take care and hopefully see you next week.
Called it from the first time you showed Cora on your vids. She adopted you,.. Some pets are just sneaky like that lol... Looks like she turned out to be a good shop dog also. gratz to you and the fam
Cora was hungry and cold walking down the street and asked a couple of squirrels where she might get a meal and a good place to sleep. Not missing a beat, the squirrels told her to go to the Summers house and Steve and Elizabeth would take good care of her. You didn't have a chance buddy.
If you're looking for interesting projects for videos, I can bring my 'to do' projects down to you. Anyway, thanks for posting these whenever you can.
I would love to have a hedge apple tree near me. However, the cold of Minnesota prevents the tree from thriving well enough to grow. Love the color and the hardness. It is technically the hardest wood in North America.
Hi Steve
You better tighten the nut of the arbour with the over arm support in place. The arbour bends easyly.
Thanks for sharing
Great video! I like watching the machines cut!!
It's always worth a watch, Steve.
I look forward to the next one.
Osage Orange - the fruits are really sticky. Trees have dense thorns and years ago were used before "bob war" was invented.
How amazing rescue dogs can be. And I do not think you could find a better dog. Welcome to the family Cora. ❤
Very well explained
In northern Ohio we call that wood Hedge Apple also, I think a proper name is Osage Orange. It grows mainly along creek or streams probably because the fruit (?) falls and floats down stream and grows where they lay. I don’t see many in the woods that I used to hunt besides along the banks, maybe because the farmers cut them down for fence posts like you said. I think farmers also knew it was a really hard wood, stringy, hard to split so it wasn’t the greatest for firewood, may as well use it for posts, it wasn’t good for much else. Lol They say those green balls (the fruit) repels spiders, if you put them in your basement you won’t get any spiders. An old wife’s tale I believe, I’ve tried it and still had spiders, maybe not as many as I would have without but who knows.
Thanks for sharing
Another solid video sir!
