Chris, you didn't give any commentary at the end comparing the power tool v hand tool approach. What's up with that? How long did each method take, which did you prefer, challenges of each, and so on. Great video nonetheless.

@ThirdCoastCraftsman 6 жыл бұрын

Good point thats a missed opportunity for sure. I guess I got lazy there at the end after hours upon hours of editing and narration haha. This has taken me days on and off. I can tell you in a nut shell that I much more preferred the hand tool side. I honestly dont think it took me a significant amount of time longer. cutting the tenons and tongue on the table top was a breeze and very enjoyable, but plow the groove and boring out the tenons was definitely hard work. For me it is always more rewarding and enjoyable when I complete a task with hand tools, but there are certain things that powertools are worth using. For instance router out the groove was substaintially easier than plowing it with the plow plane haha. Ill try to remember to do that commentary next time! Thanks Hazem!

My impression, from watching the video, was that both finished products worked out well ... so which approach one prefers would really be determined by the tools, skills, and how you want to spend your time working

And the amount of dust you can cope with. Mine's an attic workshop so dust is a problem. Dust extraction would be expensive, difficult and take a lot of already limited space. So hand tools are the way I've gone.

Thanks for the comparison video. I prefer hand tools these days but always find men standing around with comments like, "don't you like electricity", or "you would be finished in 20 minutes with power tools". Gets old pretty fast, it's nice to see someone proficient in both and to be honest sometimes a blend of the two is the handiest.

I bought this for my friend for his birthday as we just moved into a new house and he finally has room for a workshop. The bench was very easy to set up kzfaq.infoUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh They center support is a little difficult to snap in and out of place at first but at least then we know the bench is secure. It was a pleasant surprise when we saw it came with clamps. I apparently missed that in the description. My friend loves the versatility of the bench. Great starter bench for his workshop and easily transportable all over our property. I wish the bench was a little taller but the other features of the bench more than make up for that.

I'm a girl and a bit shy of power tools. But my past life in the Victorian times has led me to love furniture that was crafted this way, I like furniture that is sustainable and can be reused for centuries. Unlike the garbage today that gets thrown out in the trash. I searched this video because I found an antique draw leaf table missing its leaves, and it is built with breadboard ends. So.Now I am in search of some hand tools to try my hand at what you've done in this video, which is amazing and so much appreciated .

I hardly own any hand tools because of the skill and coordination required. I fully get the appreciation folks have for them and respect those who take the time. It's a lot quieter, which can make a big difference of you have children trying to sleep and stuff. Hats off to a super strong breadboard. Love the thought and engineering that went into it.

@TheSMEAC Жыл бұрын

He said “regular, affordable, power tools”…. I agree with the power mortiser and am saving for one myself, but even a decent quality one isn’t really regular and affordable IMO. What may work for some guys in a short term is a power mortise attachment for their pillar drill ~$200 for decent one with bits; just keep in mind that this is more of a solution for floor standing drills since table top pillar drills don’t have enough throw in the quill to have an effective mortiser. The table top pillar drill really hits its max effectiveness with a mortiser attachment in the 1/4” mortise range like in rail/stile cabinet and small furniture. Just my 2¢

Hand tools are for the true craftsman, and not only requires good tooling, but lots of talent from years of experience. Power tools are for quicker build times, and the quality of the job is determined by the builders efforts and accuracy in setting up the machinery correctly. Once this is done, electricity takes over. (Thank you Benjamin Franklin.). Thanks for a good video.

Very well explained. Thank you. I am presently building a harvest table & will be doing breadboard ends. Recently bought 5 Douglas fir doors from the early 1900’s that could have possibly ended up in the dumpster and repurposing the lumber. Anyone who has worked with today’s lumber cannot appreciate the high value of old growth trees from 100 years ago. You are a young man & already possess the fine qualities of a good woodworker and can only hone your skills even further. Your common sense approach to the discipline of wood & tools is a great example to anyone watching this video that wants to get done The proper way. Victor from Canada. .......thanks for your time & consideration.

In another life I worked for a high end furniture manufacturer. The place was 100 years old back then and I have never seen such a collection of craftsman in one place since. I was there for 3 years and got the wood working bug. The company went broke. Fast forward 40 years and three other careers, I'm semiretired and for the last 18 months I have been collecting tools and building a small work shop. I put the word out that I was taking orders and my daughter said she wants a large table for the 6 of them. My plan is to make a 1/2 scale table as practice first. I have your plans and I'll keep you posted.

I know the video is a little older but I felt that I should comment. I think what you have done here really shows that whatever tools you have your disposal and you can afford are the right tools. Certain tools, power or handtools, are better for certain jobs. It was nice to see that you don’t have to necessarily be committed to one or the other and you can appreciate working with both. Great video.

@tiananman 7 ай бұрын

I am in the process of making a table and I've looked at a million different breadboard options. One thing I'm considering is whether to leave the breadboard enclosed at least 3/4" or so on the ends, to prevent the board itself from warping away from the table end. The downside of course is that no one gets to see the edge joinery, and that it takes a little more work.

I think the finished product shows the craftsmanship involved regardless of what tools you use to accomplish it. I cringed when the router started plowing out the groove, the hand tools way was much quieter and seems like the way to go, but so so so much work. Pushing that plane sure makes your arms look good tho, maybe I need to do that more. I bought a camera to make videos a few years ago and still haven't figured out the process and I hear so many talk about the time it takes to edit etc. You've rapidly become my favorite woodworker. Great job as usual. Another fine video from my favorite woodworking team. Be sure to give Utz an attaboy from me.

I just found you this morning and you have a new fan. I install hardwood flooring and I am always looking for a way to grow my skill sets. One of the hardest things I deal with on a daily basis is not being given enough time to do my job the way I would like as far as quality is concerned. I consider myself a perfectionist, a gift sometimes and a curse too, but that is how God wired me I guess. Thanks for the work put into video form for all of us to learn from. Ed

Hi david, I have a smalled Jet hollow chisel mortising machine, but It wasnt big enough to accept that 6" board, I have not tried using one of those bits and attachments on the drill press.

Chris I'm not sure about the lengths. I have seen them used on television programs like the New Yankee Workshop. Check with lowes or home depot. They sell those chisel bits.
