It is unbelievable how to the point this video began.
This has become a rarity on youtube.
Thank you.
I LOVE how you didn't spend a minute and a half talking about the fact that the video was about making tools, the value of making your own tools, etc., just straight in, no bull. Very "they clicked on the video because they can read a title". What a refreshing and rare treat.
Your 6-minute video on making a box joint jig is the best I’ve ever seen.
Yup I reference that video regularly
This is my favorite type of content from you. Love the creativity from this channel, rule 4 " consider everything an experiment " best rule ever
Yep! Informational but more importantly (and the reason I always return to this channel) INSPIRATIONAL! Makes me want to Make Something!🎉
I was waiting for the CNC to cut out the push stick right after you said that you can do anything in the small shop that you can make in the main shop. 😂🤣
Easy way to gauge a drawer bottom dado in the correct orientation. I love it!
Always fancied having a go at making a mallet didn't realise it was that easy.
I made one similar but added bb's to it as Steve Ramsey does so it's like a dead blow. Idk that it was necessary. Maybe I should make this one so I can compare... 🤔 Consider everything an experiment!
They're usually not that easy. I've never seen anyone make a mallet like this, but it's definitely the easiest way to do it
@@mattrinnewhat you made was more of a dead blow mallet than a joiners mallet
@@woodworkingandepoxy643 You're not wrong, Walter.
Same.
There's another version you can make that doesn't involve a band/jig saw.
It's 5 pieces, and probably easier to make.
Absolutely enjoy these videos. Not only do you tell people to make something you show how to make something! Going to try making these myself this week
The tools look great.
If you're certain that wood isn't padauk, it may be granadillo - I recently came across a piece at the hardware dealer. They look similar.
Dang jumping right in, no foreplay here😂
Mornin' Dave. That wood might be Redheart.
That sounds familiar. I think you’re right. Thanks!
I was about to comment that. Redheart is my favorite wood to work with. It machines beautifully.
Thanks for the 6min primer, Dave - I've got my flat grind blade and I mean to make some lil' boxes soon!
Best part about weekend mornings! Thanks!
This is really good, I love how I see the tools you create at first being used in the later projects, and seeing the "cheap shop" makes it seem easy to do in my own shop. Everything is explained quickly but clearly. As soon as I get a table saw I'm making all 5!
Great video! This is the exact video I’ve been looking for lately, especially the low angle plane & mallet.
Super informative, great video!
Great video
Great video. Was just thinking you should make a video to reference for the box jointing, then you said it!
Good episode! Thanks Dave
Brilliant video, thank you
Great vid. I still need to make some push sticks. Steve Maskerey does an excellent single blade jig for box joints of any size.
I made Steve’s jig. Works fantastic!!
Helpful - thanks!
Thanks!
THANK YOU!!
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO
Thank you.
Very nice!
Great video full of information! I need to try all of these. Love that you did most of them in the basic shop.
One way to get a high tooth count FTG (Flat Top Ground) blade is to buy a laminate blade. It will have lots of teeth at a low rake - perfect for joinery. Get it sharpened as though it were a FTG blade. This will be pretty good the first time it's sharpened, and perfect after the second sharpening. Much cheaper than a specialty joinery blade.
What if i dont have simple tools? Can i use my cnc insted?
Great tutorial. I always enjoy your videos. Thanks.
Thanks
Great video
I’ve already ordered my plane iron !
That box joint jig is so simple and awesome! I'm going to go watch the other video on it now too
Such a great video done in the budget shop.
Love this making the simple tools in the low-cost shop!
Now you've gotta make a second set with all the expensive tools, just because. 😂
Ha! YES!
your best video yet in my opinion
Good meeting ya on your walk last Saturday! Love the content!
Dude! I want that subscription! Much love from CNY
Man this content is some good stuff. I wish I could've watched this when I first got started.
Absolutely great video Dave I love these videos as a new woodworker and learning how to make things like this. Thanks for sharing your experience
Keep it up man...your evolution is very inspiring!!!
You’re making woodworking so easy!
I love your videos, I have watch them all at least a couple of times each. But can I ask your editor (if it is you or your brother or some 3rd party) - when you say some measurments, can we get on screen some non-freedom units. Visual I can get to inch or two, but when you get to 75/76ths .... srsly.
I have one suggestion for the plane, getting your wedge out would be difficult without damaging the wood. I propose a approx 20mm forstener bit at a shallow angle, say 15 degrees to the length of the wedge, this gives you an edge you could either tap with a small hammer head, or with a short piece of dowel to remove the wedge.
Good ideas! I should have mentioned that tapping the back of the plane with a mallet usually knocks the wedge loose.
Fantastic job, Dave! Great tools indeed! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Looks like the wood you used for the mallet is Cocobolo :) I've made a few guitar tops out of it. It's beautiful and orange, fading to a dark brown over time. However the dust/splinters are suuuuuuper toxic so be careful!
I can't wait until the house is ready for staying. Eventhough I live here 😂 it's not a vaca. But just to see all the furniture you made and use the little workshop
Terrific video David! I really enjoy these "how to" project videos, well done! 👍👍🔨🔨
Never occurred to me to buld a block plane as a beginner project, but you make it look easy. FYI, I don't think Harbor Freight sells that particular model of spindle sander anymore, but the Wen I bought a few months back looks exactly like it and works quite well. I drove through OH on a trip last week, waved as I drove by. Thanks for sharing!
Just tap it in. Just tap it in! 😊
I love these videos and that you are showing things can be done with cheap tools. Have you considered looking at Menards house brand of tools. I recently got some 24 in f clamps and they are holding up really well
Who knew you could make your own block plane. Cheers dude 🤙
Another great video! I'm pretty sure a tri-square has the 3rd 45 degree function. So this would just be a square.
It's actually a TRY Square. The name 'try square' comes from the concepts of 'trying a surface'
You're right! The one I'm thinking of must be a combination square. Thanks for the info!
I really liked this video. I hope you enjoyed making it,
Nice
This pushstick looks somewhar similar to the one I made inspired by William Ng. The design is great because once your push tab is worn with too many cuts you have room to trim for a new sole. Great minds think alike! 🧠 👊 🤓
I wish I could make nice square things like the mechinist square but my miter saw is cheap and I can rarely get it square. I need a new miter saw but I can't afford it, it's a back forth struggle. Great video, I would love to make some of these one day.
Shop with several pieces of nice equipment and materials laying around(make a list).
Just to be clear is mark towards the pin or away from the pin?😁😁 but seriously i always get confused so now i am not confused any more. great video and i love the little low angled block plane its super simple and looks great. thanks, David, for another great video.
Shouldn't you have a radius on the hickory mallet instead of a 90 degree angle to reduce the chance of splitting? Or does the cross grain of the second wood reduce that problem? Thanks so much.
These are good simple tools to build!
On another note, this video felt a lot different than your usual videos; somehow less… exuberant? Like you were not having as much fun doing it as you usually do. Be sure you are having fun.
I feel like Rex would love this video
I really wish after explaining why you moved to the fancy shop and that everything could be done in the old shop, you’d stuck the template on the plywood and then cut it out with the CNC 😂
I think your mystery red wood is Makore
Those squares are sweet 🍯🍯🍯
If you don't have a basic shop, use your CNC.
your doppelganger is at the channel Adrian's Digital Basement, you look exactly the same, maybe a little younger..
I'm curious, if you find that you need more PPE in the new garage shop, as compared to your main shop that probably has much better dust collection.
Yes. It’s much louder and dustier in the small shop.
It could be bubinga. It looks like Paduak.
What benefits does the iron shaped push stick offer over a stick with a notch at the end? The handle looks like it can trap your hand if the push stick somehow gets caught.
A stick with a notch at the end doesn't put any downward pressure and doesn't prevent kickback.
That wood looks like bloodwood to me if I were to guess.
Maybe Golcalo Alves?
6:05 do you find that A) the taper of the mallet head is necessary on both sides? And B) is the leather beneficial? You’re already using wood instead of metal to absorb part of the blow.
I actually don't find the taper beneficial at all. To me it just looks cooler. I prefer the leather to not mark up my pieces when banging.
@@MakeSomething on my own mallets, I usually taper one head about 10-15 degrees from square and leave one square. My last mallets are ugly as hell, but heavy and useful. I used solid logs of green Osage orange as my base wood for 3 and hickory for the other. The hickory is laminated and the Osage orange I chiseled a hole all the way through and fit the hole to the handle, then epoxied it together.
👍🏾
Are you using the stock blade on the Wen Band Saw? I do not get very clean cuts like you did is the reason I am asking.
No, I'm using a Freud blade.
SO, I heard on the podcast that you say "so" a lot. I hadn't noticed till you mentioned it, you do say "so" a lot. Doesn't bother me though, good content is good content
Is it a try square because it tries to stay square?🤣
It could just be how my phone was angled but that wood almost looked like Bloodwood. Did it smell like cinnamon? Anyway, love your videos. :)
It smelled sweet. I think you’re right
Why the block plane has a 12º cut and not 12.5º if the blade angle is 25º? There is a reason for that? I’m not criticizing is really a doubt about it.
Are these going to be in a new book?
Currently there are no plans for another book. Although I change my mind all the time. :)
00:52 why does your left arm look weird?
Any rental house updates?
It's moving much slower than expected but we're working on it. It needs some money thrown at it to fix up the siding, roof and fence.
@@MakeSomething Glad to hear you are making progress! We are in the middle of a Mid Century reno too - I feel the pain.
Why aren't your drill press, etc. secured to the bench?
So I can move them around.
Chakte viga?
to make tools you can make, first you need to buy tools
The lik doesn't work!
I’m willing to bet you filmed an intro, but it got accidentally left out during editing.
Nope. "Time-to-action" on this one is zero seconds. On purpose.
@@MakeSomething ah, okay. Felt disjointed. I even went back to the beginning to make sure I didn’t miss something 😅 anyhow, thank you for the correction and explanation!
I also backed up thinking I had missed the intro. 😂
Quit making tools and finish your house already!
whoa... whoa... slow down slow it wayyy down. you really should do at least a minute of warm up sweet talk before doing all this iron grinding and wedge shoving. rude!
I treated this like our 3rd date. 🙂
The no intro approach kinda threw me off. Just jumped right into it. I feel childish saying I’d much rather have an intro explaining what’s on the agenda as if I’m unable to read. But more so I think it’s more of a vibe like setting the tone of the channel for the video. Honestly made me feel lost entire video even tho I realize why. Kinda fascinating to me as I think about it. 🫠🤯
I like both... Tough choice.
Makes you feel kind of like you missed the beginning, a quick sentence could have fixed the awkwardness
Love the variety of production styles and content you share on this channel. Great video, simple and educational.
