I can't understand the criticism. Clearly this guy is an expert, I learned a lot watching this video and eventually will do things my own way with the additional tips and tricks he was kind enough to teach. Thank you sir for sharing your skills - and good video too.

Yeah, I only learned stuff. This was useful to me. Screw the haters. I'm an amateur so this stuff is really valuable to me. If someone wants to brag about their better knowledge in the comments or be mean, whatever. I must say, I scrolled these comments and saw a lot of valuable additions. So ppl being jerks is one thing in the comments, but ppl being additive and helpful in the comments is great. I think this video mostly drew constructive comments.

A few years back my wife and I had to replace a fairly complicated counter top on our boat. It had raised mahogany edges and had quite a few mahogany framed cubbys. Most all of it required hand cutting and chamferring. This is when I fell in love with woodworking and especially my chisels. This is a great video explaining many of the things I discovered. Thank you for sharing this with us all.

I love how he mentions the quality of the tool doesn't matter as he pulls out a Japanese chisel probably worth more than a full set of craftsman chisels.

Using and needing an expensive tool are very different things.
@bondfrenchbond5 жыл бұрын
Actually his chisels aren't the top of the line expensive ones. These are middle of the road Japanese chisels. Best bang for buck actually.
@daw1625 жыл бұрын
chisels of that type are available used in japan for about $10 each, just as our older chisels are often cheap. I can't tell what the newer chisels are that he's using, but they could be from a fine maker, and the sky is the limit. The low end japanese stuff now isn't that great (squashed together in dies, sometimes from prelaminated material), but the vintage chisels bought in odd lots can be on par with current makers.
@daw1625 жыл бұрын
Someone reading the kanji below suggested tasai. If you look closely at at least one of them, you can tell they're cleanly made - but my comment below is still true - you can buy an odd lot of 10 or 20 chisels from japan on buyee or another proxy auction for $150-$200 and have 12 to 15 that are on par with tasai in terms of edge holding. The older chisels exist there in droves (and are on average harder in my experience) and don't have much value there. If they have to look brand new and be identical, you will pay, though. Tasai's chisels are expensive, but there are less expensive new chisels that are an equal match.

I share all the below (above?) comments. I would like to make a request, though, for future videos: Keep the camera trained on the work being done more, and the long-shots less. I really want to see and absorb what he is doing there at the tip of the tool. I am new-ish to this stuff, so the close-ups actually provide us nuance that the long-shots do not. Thank you for a great video!

There is an apparently still-working 22-580 planer in the background. I got one of those when I first started woodworking. It cracked in transit (which required replacement of some of the cast parts) and went downhill from there, quickly getting damage on the mild steel bar that's used as a blade retainer and chipbreaker. Guess what's NLA from delta. Or whoever owns delta now, and whatever they call it. I'm surprised to see one that hasn't broken something that isn't available. Those were good for delta, i'd bet, but not so good for anyone buying one.

Do what makes you feel happy and safe. Just save yourself the work station hopping. Chopping the entire thing works just as fast and no makes no dust.
