The first half of the kzfaq.infoUgkx3ICSK6nSknaL_45CU2NmFSoXjarGMDiJ book is everything about wood: types, tools, finishes, setting up shop etc. The second half is all about doing projects for inside and outside of the home. The color pictures are helpful. After reading a dozen of these types of books, this is probably the best overall (layout, color photos, plans). Only detraction is that many of the projects use a table saw/router/planer, which are usually expensive and take up space, so the plans are less friendly to newcomers and the budget conscious. But I know I can use a drill, circular saw or a jigsaw to make the projects.

In the early 70s, I was inspired by my grandfather to become a woodcarver. Some years later my grandfather gave me some chisels that had belonged to several generations of the family. I didn't know it then, but they were firmer chisels. Since my experience was in carving and with gouges, I used the chisels upside down, as flat gouges for a solid decade until my father in law , a fantastic furniture maker, found it interesting that I was using chisels upside down. I still think about that when I'm using those chisels.

Fortunately, the result of the work was within acceptable limits.

Something that helped me figure out my bevel-up/down cuts was thinking of the bevel as acting like a fulcrum, allowing more control over the depth & direction of cut when bevel-down, or wedging material away aggressively when bevel-up.It's funny how a lot of these basics just emerge naturally as common sense when you dive in to work with wood. But then there's always the more subtle techniques Rex & others show that I wouldn't have thought of with my very limited experience that give one an 'A-HA!' moment.

@stauffap 3 жыл бұрын

I'd add another technique, that i've never seem, but discovered by accident. Most people use the chisel with the leading edge parallel to the wood. But you can actually get rid of a lot of wood by tilting the chisel to a desired degree so that only the edge of the chisel digs into the wood. I found that yo can remove quite a bit of endgrain that way especially if you wet the endgrain first. Obviously this leaves a horrible surface, but by gradually tilting the chisel back to paralell you flatten the surface until it's perfectly flat. Especially wide chisel can be difficult to push through wood. By tilting it the area decreases and it's easier to remove wood. So that's another advantage of this technique. It's also usefull when you don't want to use a mallet, since you just tilt it when you don't have the strength to push it through your cut.

@BartoszBanachewicz 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for another great video! A chisel is by far my single most favorite tool for woodworking. The "freehand" aspect of it that you mentioned doesn't just mean you get more power (and danger) - it makes the end result entirely depend on the craftsman's experience. Anyone can buy a very expensive plane and get decent results with it, but with a chisel there's just no substitute for skill and feel. I've seen a few people talk about more chisel videos, and if I could ask for one it'd be explicitly about mistakes and things that can go wrong - for example the part with rising grain you've shown is something I've encountered just a few days ago, ripping a chunk off my mallet's handle! It must be really hard for a professional to go back to their beginner mistakes, so maybe asking your friend for help again could work? :)

Aldi (or Lidl, I can never remember) sometimes sells chisels, for a few euros (or dollars I suppose if they're in the USA as well). They don't have fancy handles, but the chisels themselves are as good a material as the brands that'll cost you hundreds, and as you can see from the Narex, you're going to have to put effort into flattening chisels whether you buy expensive or not. With mortis and tenons I like to go the Paul Sellars route and use a router plane to flatten the sides of the tenons. This really helps with getting them parallel, especially when you have very long pieces and even the tiniest diversion that you wouldn't necessarily pick up with a chisel amplifies so at the other end it's suddenly a cm out of square.

Hey Rex, I have two sets of the Narex Richter chisels and they're some of the most comfortable chisels I've owned and used. I had a set of 750 sweetheart's and got rid of them immediately when I picked up the Richter's and snapped up a second set for my other workshop as soon as I could. They're not perfect out of the box, but are a hell of a lot better than the 750's (recent production, they're just awful and the larger sizes completely un-flat and convex in 3 out of the 8 in the set) and the Richter's were easily prepared. They're slightly convexed, hollow backed, something Narex themselves acknowledge, which makes it relatively quick and easy to flatten if you're doing fine work and it matters. And that's a point for others to note, it doesn't always matter, especially if your skills aren't honed and refined enough to work with a high degree of precision. In my case, I put them on the side of the Tormek wheel and they were ready to go in minutes for each one, nicely flattened. Not a massive hardship and a considerable saving over buying LN's or similar. I've had plenty of the cheaper Narex chisels and the Richter's really are a different tool in every way. Also, that handle, superb. Finally, the logo (and I know you may have been a bit tongue-in-cheek on this) has been in use as a trademark (Richter Extra) since at least 1930. Search on google for KATALOG VÁCLAV RICHTER 1930 - NAREX BYSTŘICE to find out more and to see their 1930 catalogue!

It is great to get a clear and concise explanation of the different cuts and which way to hold the chisel to get them. Could you please do some more of the absolute beginner videos for other tools. This time last year I had no idea what a jig is but I have watched so many videos on making them, I now know how useful they can be. What would be useful is to see when you need to go from using a chisel to using a scraper and then all about sanding. All the videos I have watched say sanding is so important, so could you also please show the correct way to sand, how to work through the grits and whether you use wet or dry sanding. Just some ideas from a real complete beginner (but enthusiastic about learning). Thank you. From Lincolnshire UK. 😊
