as a woodworker theirs nothing better than hearing a sharp plane at its finest

Good idea - it will help take your mind off other worries and end up with a unique piece of furniture.This is the way we did it when I started (50 odd years ago) and the job of hand ripping timber was given to the apprentices resulting in odd sized timber and some nasty injuries. I well remember the arguements when M & T joints were replaced with dowels!! Look forward to seeing the rest of the build, hope it goes well. Chris

Hi Joey. Watching you all the way from eastern Canada. I hope this video series shows people how you can build furniture with minimal tools. Working with hand tools is so satisfying. Looking forward to more. Cheers

LMAO!!! New definition...If you can hold it in your hands, it's a hand tool. Love it!!!!

So good to see how different craftsmen are dealing with these testing times. Looking forward to seeing how this turns out. Keep up the good work Joey.

Awesome idea to keep yourself busy and to give us something to watch to get through the lock in

Love this channel. Enjoying the videos while on lockdown myself here in the states. Thanks for proving us with great content!

"For the duration of this build, this will be classed as a hand tool" 🤨

Perhaps you could make a small shooting board for making those 45 and 90 degree ends?

This is a rad idea, keen to see this come together!

Good Luck with your new endeavor. The interaction with your son makes its all the better. You'll master this like you've mastered your previous work, with style!!

Theo was asking some great questions, neat to see him working with you. Nice to see your portable bench being used for apartment woodworking, which is why you designed it that way. I still haven't seen another bench i like as much as yours.

Joey, thanks for uploading still despite the circumstances. I’m pulling for you man; you put some of the best stuff out there!

You are the only wood-worker I've seen on KZfaq who NEVER puts a plane down on its sole - something my grandfather taught me when I was about your boy's age. Look after your tools and they will look after you. Kia kaha, kia ora e hoa

If you can hold it in your hand then it's a handtool !😁 Thanks for the video Joey👌 ,looking forward to part 2. Stay safe and healthy. Greetings from Belgium.

Ha, Ha, I had a premonition when I saw the board on the floor that a sneaky power tool was about to appear, You haven't got a Sawyers bench so how else were you going to do it 😎. but at least you did not hide it. Wow is that kid growing. I remember seeing him in the early days when he was a babe in mums arms.

I was watching the intro thinking “Oh I think I saw someone make a workbench that went together really similar to that...” before realising that I’d of course seen you making that workbench 😂 hope you’re keeping safe in lockdown!

Haha I was looking forward to some ripping with a handsaw.

Great way to adapt to the situation. Looking forward to the next video.

The boy is growing, great video. Cheers.

Glad to see you'r still making videos, hope your able to weather the storm.

Good luck, Joey! Stay safe ...

Somebody's going to sleep well tonight with all that exercise! Looking forward to watching the series. Cheers, David

If the tool is in your hand, it's a hand tool! Digging this build!

Pewww peww with a hand plane 😂😂😂, kids are the best

This is great! It occurs to me that you could temporarily mount narrow guide blocks to the bench inside the vise for repeatability. Can't wait for more!

Man, that hand saw cut through that slab like a battery operated Makita circular saw! 🤔😂🤣🤣🤣 Nice work, mate. 👍🏽 Can't wait for the second installment. 👌🏽

Nice view! I think I can see my place. I'm curious to see how the lockdown project works out.

Adapt and improvise that is key!!!! Good on ya Joey 👍

Excellent. This will be great to follow.👍

Thanks for all your content during this time. It's very much appreciated. Best to you and your family. stay safe.

Great video

I have to admit, I thourougly enoyed this video !!! Looking forward to what's coming next !

great stuff........like the humour too.........

Old school, luv it

when you said you had some walnut on insta I didn't expect you to be able to make a whole table I'd love more info on that table however that looks like a good transportable work bench

I'm going to go back and watch your video where you built this portable bench. I never got 'round to building one but now I have some time to convert to the dimensions available here which are a combination of both imperial and metric.

Great idea only hand tools

For a table leg you only need for two sides to be squire. That is the side that the rails will go into which will be on two sides. The outside display could be any shape or standard of finish you want. So you only really need to check for square on one corner.

Hi Joey, mate why not do a video on sharpening the back saw as its always interesting to see another tradies method to sharpen tools .

Hi, tell us more about the square you using. Where did you get it? Can’t wait to see the rest.

Love the giant pile of wood shavings on the floor 😎😎😎😎

My hand tools would also include a jointer, bandsaw and hammer table saw

Looks like the landscape around Helensville.

people always bang on in KZfaq comments about "easy to make stuff with the $$$$$$ worth of fancy wood working tools". Joey.....hold my beer

Hey you've got the same t-shirt as me! 😉

Superb

Hand tools are cool. Are you going to be breaking out your moulding planes, or do you have a sneaky router hiding away somewhere?

Hola ! me encantan tus proyectos y soy un buen seguidor tuyo, veo que ya no estan en español.. volveras a hacerlos ' muchas gracias y saludos

not often, First UK!!

Most of the hand tools I commonly use are battery powered too.

Actually, you may drive to the shop safetly, but turn the air circulation system in your car only for closed circuit cockpit tipe ventilation, not forom outside ... When you get outside outside use closed respirator ( without any hole ) it is not convenient for longer time usage but you will be safe...

:)

Solid wood and hand tools, What more do you want? :-)

Inspired by you, Joey with all that happened to your business maybe you’re proving that ww’ing can be therapeutic! The storm will pass. You’re gonna be OK.

More drums in video!!!)))

I dont quite understand advantage of rounded corners. Is it just to not grab.

Bet you wish you brought your bad saw
