Not gonna lie, those chisels got me excited. They look like the highest quality and $80 isn't bad at all

@ookie4179 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah me too 😂 I’m sick of buying Stanley and dewalt chisels that last 2 uses. I’m going to invest in something nice that I can maintain.

I agree that they're probably worth it (especially since they're probably hand made)... But keep in mind that the price is per piece. (So 4 chisels = 320$) It's a good idea to start with cheaper ones to see which sizes you actually use / need.. And THEN upgrade :) Like.. I have a set of 4 (old) expensive chisels.. I use 1 of those. ;) So in retrospect, the rest of the set was wasted money. Also, learn to sharpen your own chisels. Even good chisels need sharpening fairly frequently - especially when you use them a lot. Best way to learn sharpening is using cheap ones. (As a bonus... Cheap chisels can become fairly decent chisels if you sharpen them well) Pro-tip (for those on low budget); Look for old / antique chisels from quality brands on flea markets and so on. They might need some refurbishing / rust removal / sharpening, but you can buy those for a few bucks a piece. (You pay the rest with the work it takes to make them usable again) Via that route... I have some 40-100+ year old chisels that you can shave with ;) - For those interested, check out the 'scary sharp' method (you can find that on KZfaq as well, as well as just using Google or something.. I think 'Modern Woodworking' magazine has an article on their (super outdated) website on that subject ;)) That method utilizes a hardened glass plate (1/2 inch thick or so) as a nearly perfectly straight surface, with several grades of specialized (3M) sandpaper stuck to it (goes from 150 up to 5,000/10,000 if I remember correctly) * [Works with cheaper sandpaper too - make sure it's for metal, and that you can use it for wet sanding too] Could save you a bunch of money on sharpening stones (which you can then spend on chisels instead). And also, you don't have the trouble of keeping your stones perfectly flat.

When sanding near a finished edge, I like to clamp on a sacrificial piece of wood to prevent rounding my corners and edges. Beautiful and impressive work. I am jealous of your router.

Nicely shown and put together. You don’t have to apologise for the way you work - most of us probably don’t use brushes either. I hope you do show us how to make the knot. I’ve had a background yearning to try inlaying and your video inspires me to have a go.

I have watched and shared a ton of your videos. I just retired to Belize from California in late 2021. I love wood working but I’m no good at it like my brothers are. Belize has a lot of beautiful wood, but I haven’t seen a wood worker such as yourself here. I wish I could send you a link to my brothers work, but he doesn’t have a website anymore. He is primarily a wood sculptor as are many people in Belize. Decades ago my brother sculpted a guitar for Carlos Santana….something I think you would appreciate seeing because of all his inlays. I love your work and I will forever be a fan. Shirlene
