    Thank you so much for this, and thank you for having the transcript in the description. With four kids and the animals running around i need subtitles, and youtube tends to mess up subtitles a lot. Whenever you spoke while the paint stripper was running i couldnt hear anything, and youtube subtitlea just read "...music...". Again, thank you.

    Been using your press for a long time now. In fact recently bought another to do more sticks quickly. Great little video though!

    I have a beautifully straight Blackthorn stick from you. it's approx 3/4 inch thick!
    I'm sure it would have been a real pain to straighten without one of these, if it was even possible, due to the thickness!
    Take care

    Am I seeing correctly that this straightening jig is only 5.70 on your website!!!! Seriously !!!....it looks amazing

      @stickman315  Před rokem +4

      You can always pay more - but the press is only a small part of the process. The idea was to show you how to do it - not sell stick presses!

    Quick and easy way to straight a shank.
    Thank you so much.
    It's a pity your shanks can't be bought from Spain😢😢

    Hi Keith , thanks for your knowledge. I cut some hazel about three or four months ago, have I left it too long to use your method ?

    Does this work for harder and denser wood such as YEW and Elder

    • @stickman315
      @stickman315  Před 2 lety +2

      I’ve used it on yew and elder - but I’d argue that they are not denser than hazel or blackthorn 🤔.
