It’s rare to find a channel that just fills you with so much peace, loving these longer videos!

Here from Florida! Good to see someone my age doing something from the past. Things that are hand made and hand fitted are so much better, and last longer. I have a dresser that my great grandfather made in the 1880s. Lots of dove tails and hand carved wood wheels. Keep uploading, ill keep watching!

Gosh what I wouldn't give to be your apprentice for a week! I got a chisel sharpening guide like yours today & finally managed to get a consistent edge! Wasn't able to shave my arm yet, but with practice I'll get there! I did knick myself with the edge for the first time, so it must be going in the right direction. Love the vid! What a handy build.

Good work again, sir! Shame about the crack on the door but that's pine for you, we live and learn! These videos are getting better and better, not just the content but the standard, your audio is more consistent thanks to that mole you have in your top pocket and you don't look like you're shooting on a phone anymore, something which I never had s problem with myself, but I noticed a few comments about it on your early videos. Everything you're doing is going in the right direction and it's grand to see

You broke the door... and showed the fix. I love the honesty, we've all done it... most dweebs would have edited it out. I wish the internet had more honest content like this..well done lad 10/10.

Thanks for the videos, I really love to see how much can actually be done with just hand tools. One argument you could make in favour of hand tools is safety (fingers, ears, eyes, lungs). A hobbyist like me doesn't need to be economically competitive, and the people I am making stuff for would really be devastated if I hurt myself in the process.

God bless and keep you always dear Brother

My late grandfather had all these tools and didn't really know much about them until I watched these videos so now I'm restoring the Stanley hand planes and the hand crank drill at the moment And I found an old wooden marking gauge with a nail for marking!!

Just found your channel and I'm loving it! Wood glue can be undone with some heat and vinegar or water. Depends on the glue. For anything critical that is tricky to glue I recommend hide glue. Grab some Old Brown Glue and keep it in the cold. It has a 24hr period after gluing that allows for adjustments. You can also do old school gluing techniques like rub joining when clamps are impractical.

It's a treat watching you work, and witnessing your skills deepen. I encourage you to consider making a moxon vise; it would have been perfect for that bit of planing on the door frame.

It's the Irish Roy Underhill! Hopefully you'll find that a compliment. Your constant banter keeps the video lively and your demonstration and explanation sure reminds me of Roy the woodwright! I look forward to more videos!

This man never fails to put a smile on my face whenever I see him. Truly a blessing. Sounds fangirlish but you’re amazing man, genuinely love you

Great video, though I think the center panels should be glue free to allow for wood movement. A floating panel.

I absolutely love your longer form content I enjoy the shorts to but these are beautiful and I love that it gives you the time to truly describe what your doing ❤❤❤❤

Finally! Some good long form Content! Thank you!

With your suggestion to put it on casters, I was thinking you'd maybe be better making a trolley for it so that when you get to where you're going with it you could remove it from the trolley and lift it onto a workbench, that way you're not having to constantly hunker down to get to the tools in the bottom section like you would if it were on casters itself. Regardless, it's a fine looking cabinet.

Loving the long format videos! I am so impressed with you as a man, let alone a tradesman. You are amazing!

"Clamp the bejaysus out of it".... I say the exact same thing lad 😂 As ya can probably tell, I'm Irish too (Wexford), I work by hand also 😁 Your frame, usually a haunched tenon would be used at the corners, the haunch hides the groove on the end so it can be planed instead of makin a stopped groove (a pain in the face to do by hand) what you have is more like a bridle joint rather than a mortice and tenon. Your panel; usually it would be left to float with no glue so as the wood expands and contracts it doesn't try to open the frame up on the corners. The panel isn't very wide so it be grand to glue it fast.......... to stop your glue squeezin out an stickin to the face of the panel ya could put some kinda finish on the panel before it's all glued up, the glue won't really stick to the finished panel an it'll be easier to clean the glue off. Ya planed the frame to size all in one direction, planing out through the end grain might be why the part split. Some like to make a little chamfer on the far side so the plane doesn't break the back of the end grain, some like to plane into the middle from either end. If I was flushin up the sides of a small box that I'm gonna chamfer the corners on anyways I'd use a chamfer to stop breakin the back of the end grain, if I was fittin a part or flushin up a bigger part I'd plane from both ends into the middle. Not sayin any of that as is "ya done it wrong"...... jus passin along some tips 😁 it's nice to see (and hear) an Irish lad on the KZfaqs....... Even nicer to see em workin by hand, keep it up lad 😁🤙

As much as I appreciate your amazing carpentry skills, your voice and lyrical accent are just beautiful. I reckon I could listen to you read a vehicle manual or the terms and conditions of something and still love it.

Great work my friend!

Thank you for doing what you do with your hands as a fellow carpenter I appreciate you teaching this type of finish work you are awesome brother. Peeps from Detroit, Michigan!

You lad have amazing skill and talent and it is most evident in mastery of technique. You young Sir are indeed a master carpenter. God bless you and your family.

I really like your videos.

This fella should have a weekly/daily! slot on RTE. Just what the world needs in 2022 and beyond!

I could listen to you talk all day! I've enjoyed your videos, even though I'm not a woodworker. I use to play around with chisels. It's very refreshing to see somebody your age working so hard at something like this, when there are easier methods. ❤

...clamp the bejeesus, love it.

My favorite part was when the frame broke and you kept your cool. Well done

You are one skilled craftsman. I recently got into wood working, but am definitely using power tools. It still takes me forever to get anything done. Doing it your way would take me ages. You are a man of talent and skill!

great video Eoin!

Great to see how you fixed the break along the grain! Love this video!

This project is coming out so beautifully, I really enjoy watching your videos! Love from NY!

glad to see the good old #8 getting some good old use

Very good. I use to think you were just a woodworker, but now I think you are a great woodworker. You were able to show your mistakes and correct them. Nicely done 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

I love the videos you make they are always very calming and intriguing to watch and always turn out great. Also, I've noticed that when you make longer videos they seem to get higher veiws.

Great stuff, very nice to see the old ways still employed

Traditional Japanese wood working is also very satisfying

Great video(s)! You're like Paul Sellers' grandson if time moved backwards ^^ I believe that you'd have a lot of fun with historic wood glue too, like hide glue, bone glue and stuff. There's Titebond hide glue for instance, but you can also make your own concotions out of raw materials.

Love it! More long videos please

Hinged doors on a dutch chest is a really brilliant idea.

Love the sound of a plane slicing through wood. I got an old Stanley #8 that I looked up and seems to be a type 6, so it's about 130yrs old. Found out the blade isn't square and it's bent a little. The lateral adjustment had to be set to one side to get an even cut out of it. Looking to get a modern blade for it and that should even it out better. I got plenty of other modern planes, just gotta put them to use. I'm thinking of doing an English style tool chest similar to the Anarchist Tool Chest. That'll be good practice for dovetails. Thanks for sharing your work. It's certainly inspiring. Enjoy your holiday/winter season.

I love this! I’ve been looking into portable storage for some of my hand tools, and this has got my brain working. Thank you. By the way, I call the joint you did for the frame around the door panels a half-blind hunched bridle joint. I don’t know how many others would, but that’s what I know it as.

Using hand tools is nice and a skill all on it's own. Depending on your building it's not really cost/time efficient but if that's your selling point as a artisan furniture maker then you'll get a premium for it.

Extend your trigger finger down the handle of the saw when cutting. That was more of a bridle joint than a mortice and tenon. You shouldn't have glued in that panel either. Apart from that it's a nice job, fair play, 👍💪🔨🇮🇪🇮🇪

Loving the tool cabinet

“Hello lads” well hello you young old soul!

I would absolutely love to see a video on the hinge marker!! Golly that was like 8 seconds of...magic.

Gday from Canada! I suppose you watch Mr Chickadee ? You felllas make the woodworking look easy! Enjoy your videos... if you need some squirrelly maple, let me know. Cheers Bucko !

My house was built in the 1800s, and by the looks of it, the doors were all built using the same techniques as in this video.

Inspired me to get a file and sharpen my own axe before the winter fully arrives. lets see how we get on when the time truly comes 😂

About 9 minutes in, you make a good point about glue being 'the point of no return' in that once glued, it cannot be charged. THIS is why I work in metal. If I screw up (me screw up?) I c a n cut it apart, make the change, reweld, grind, finish and no one's the wiser. With wood? Ya, not so much.

Beautiful absolutely brilliantly done lovely to see that you love to do this

I enjoy to watch your videos, they're very relaxing. Also, absolutely love your accent! Keep up the good work!

You and Alec Steele could teach eachother loads of cool information and tricks/tips

Always a good day when I see your videos thanks. How's things for you?

Sir, I hope someday I have the skills with hand tools that you have. I see now how crippled I truly am from having always used any power tools available.

Holy crap, I stumbled across your video and I swear I thought my brother was on KZfaq lol. You are almost a look alike.

your videos are both calming and educational. keep it up.

Loving the KZfaq videos, Captain!

It's looking great!

Keep at it!! Fine work there .

Cracking video, I find something very therapeutic about watching you woodwork and also your accident! I love how the internet has allowed more visibility to things like this that would slowly die out while providing you with a platform that hopefully funds you enough to continue your passion :) Looking forward to any videos in the future :) Road(plane)trip to collab with the samurai carpenter...? 😍

Tell me more about the festivals and fairs. I have never been to Ireland but have always wanted to visit. I have mostly Scottish heritage and some Irish in me and have wanted to learn more of my ancestors.

loved the video looking forword to the next one keep up the good work God blesss😊

When you said slightly, adjust the iron I researched a little bit online, but could you please do a full video about everything when it comes to a wood plan

very nice

Nicely done!

Stumbled on to your channel through a Gentleman at work, We are both Electricians by trade Wood workers at Heart. Curious if you have videos showing the whole process of making your chest can not seem to find the beginning of the box. Keep up the good work. Though I am from the States my family was originally from County Kerry and County Down still have friends in RathMore and Tralee.

Class boy

A total chancer.

While I myself am still an amateur, I'd like to point out that you shouldn't have glued the panel to the rails and stiles. The panel should be free to expand and contract with the humidity, and gluing it in like that _could_ cause warping or cracking over time. Now, being that I am an amateur I may have overlooked something of which you've already thought. If that's the case, I'd love to learn for my own projects.

I see you constantly fumbling with that vise to crank it in or out quickly, you might be interested in a Twin Turbo vise, they’re made by a fellow here on KZfaq in the States, great vise, super well thought out and amazing. Love to see the full video! Great content!

Great content! Keep up the excellent work

You can use doweling to improve join strength.

Nice

With that type of door the top and bottom are called rails and the sides are styles.

I'd recommend some good handles and wheels for it. There are some neat various ways to set it up for over the shoulder carry (a variation on backpack straps so you can move it over ground even as rough as stairs. Not got a better way to describe it in a comment unfortunately)

It's definitely easier to use power tools but you'll still be in business if the electric grid breaks. Also something special about wood work that didn't use any electric tools.

Have you considered painting it up and making it yours? Maybe putting a fancy looking “E” and “R” on each cabinet door, somethin like that?

Great video bud

Hi Eoin. Just wondering if you might do a short video about your bench? Many thanks. Jamie

I wonder if we all shouldn't have a hand drill that we can also put a screw bit into I think that I mess up so many things and so many screws with a hand drill and if I do it with a screwdriver it takes a lot more work but it seems to be more consistent

Even more of a reason why I want to go to Ireland…

Watching some fine circa 19C woodworking, then, "I'm making a TikTok as well so..." I had to chuckle a bit.

Im trying to plan out a workbench eith drawers. Wiah i could get wood like you can.

Good man

The biggest advantage to hand tools for me is the absence of life-shortening dust

Just a quick question any chance of you doing a video on all of the hand tools that you have as I'm 13 and I'd love to do what you're doing. Keep up the good work. 🇮🇪

idk if this is just the camera but it looks like it took so long to plane the big panel that it turned night

This guy, first he's in my stories, now he's in my feed. What's going on? I have absolutely no interest in traditional woodwork, but still, here I am watching...

very nice video. What I’m wondering though is how you actually get all the planes level? Because I understand how you create perfectly smooth and level surfaces, but not how you keep those individual surfaces at 90° to each other, if that makes sense?

ey ello lad it's goin' good thanks

So do you dry the wood youre using for these types of projects? What process do you use for drying?

😊

Don't glue your panels they should float in the frame.

Clamp the bejaysus out of it 😂😂

Southern Yellow Pine?!?! Southern as in Southern Ireland?!?!

Well lad fair play to ya! That’s a great cabinet. If ya don’t mind where did you get your cap? I’ve been looking for a new one myself. Mind yourself good luck!

I have been told that a bit of salt on the wood glue helps with clamping it together. Have you ever tried this?

These hand tools only videos are detrimental to me at this point. Hand tools for life!

Hello Eoin, just found your channel recently and amazing content. i have a question though. Do you use any driver bit chucked into the brace for the screws or is it a special attachment for that?
