My Premier Project Plans: paskmakes.com/...
My Free Plans: paskmakes.com/...
A few years ago I made a Reamer and tenon cutter to make tapered mortise and tenons. While they were useable, and they did get used a few times, there were things that needed improving. In this video I remake the Reamer and in the next video I'll tackle the Tenon Cutter.
I had an accident in the middle of this project that could've ended worse than it did. I was lucky! Please be safe in your workshops.
As always I'm happy to answer any questions.

I was trying to come up with a method to drill tapered holes, figured I'd search it on youtube. Guess I shouldn't be surprised you posted a solution to this tricky business. I am surprised I never saw it before, as I've watched so many of your video's. Well done, and glad the accident didn't turn into something far worse. Amazing how something so innocuous could spell so much trouble. A very important reminder that We don't need power tools to do serious harm. Stay safe my friend.

Mr. Pask, your videos are far too enjoyable... please don’t slice anymore body parts, I need you to keep coming up with more content! Very glad to hear that the damage was relatively minor. Take it from a guy who decided to fight a bandsaw with my index finger... recovering from tendon damage is no fun! My finger is still a major nuisance in my shop. Always getting in the way because it doesn’t behave like I want it to. Stay safe, and keep the great content coming!

I'm starting to get into green woodworking, and this was just what I needed. I'm trying a modified design with M6 bolts holding the two halves together (I turned as a pair double-sided taped together, rather than sawing a slot for the blade). A dremel with a diamond blade can easily cut slots for the bolts in a saw blade, and a carbide rasp can be used to refine it. I did a similar cut on my left thumb web while carving. I remember the sound of the nurse sopping up the blood from the floor while the doctor was poking around after anaesthetizing the area. It only really hurt when they pulled the stitches out. Let's be careful out there.

May it doesn't need to been the own, but to be able can safe time, afford, money and makes fun and motivates. Also a big thank you that you just share your mistakes. I think that is something that make a community stronger.

Here is a custom addition to this reamer that I made on my reamer, I luv to see you make and try for yourself. My reamer was gifted to me yrs ago but it bugged me a bit that when reaming the tool goes in like a screw when turning which the point I guess but sometimes I didnt want to ream any bigger. So I added 1/8" deep kerfs down the length about, for me was 1/8" apart. That I could placed different sized "washers" cut open like letter " C ", like a snap ring, with inside cut matching various girths of the reamer, that snap off and on as needed to set the Depth of the Reamer for specific mortise girth to match whatever size Dowl I needed to use.. Mine was a single blade though, but, you could just cut 1/8" notches at wider intervals for matching 3 or 4 set girths most commonly used by yourself so not to weaken a blade. Like the teeth side I wld notch desired sizes. Then add the clip as needed

My father always said "Don't remove waste from the lathe while it is turning". It is a mantra that he recited every time I saw him at the lathe. BUT.. age and familiarity breeds contempt; in all of us who work with our hands. I visited his home one weekend, he had a big bandage about his fingers and hand. "What happened?", I asked. He told me that he was making lurers from stainless steel and the waste was building up about the cutter and he decided to 'REMOVE the waste' by picking it off the lathe with his fingers. The waste wrapped around the spinning work and around his fingers and pulled his hand into the job. Stainless steel is hard and sharp but fortunately brittle and broke off when it reached the bone in his fingers, releasing his hand. Fortunately, he did no permanent damage to his fingers or hand. If one works long enough with tools you will likely to create your own scenario. This twice, act once..

OUCH! Glad you're okay. Great looking reemer. The grooves should make a tight fit glue-up even better as the grooves will give more surface area for the glue, and compress as the tenon is driven in. As the glue soaks into the forever wood, the fibers will swell and make the joint even tighter. Great project. Thanks for sharing and tend to that cut appropriately, infection would cause extra undue issues.

Might want to consider 1) installing a somewhat thicker handle so there's less likelihood of breaking one. That'll weaken the top of the reamer though, so you would probably want to 2) reinforce the reamer head above and below the handle bore with a few wraps of wire.

I realize I'm commenting on an older video but being a subscriber for only a couple of weeks I'm looking at videos from across the board time-wise. That second version which we see at 8:44 looks like it's a way more appropriate material for this tool. I'm sorry you injured yourself working that out but glad it wasn't as serious as it might have been. I knew there was an artery in that spot because I managed to cut mine many years ago. It actually squirts and is quite scary looking but I healed completely too so all's well that ends well, I suppose.

Just a thought...when dowel joining, you want a few shallow cuts in the dowel for glue relief. I would think that the cuts in the reamed holes would be adequate for the task. This would also eliminate the need of providing that same relief on the tenons. Sorry about the "learning the hard way" mishap.

Great video as always but if I may I would suggest that you or anyone else making this tool drill a hole thru the handle and the blade near the top of the saw blade and then drive a pin thru both so as to prevent injury for when you need to pull up. This would make it where you can pull by the crosswise handle while assuring that the blade will come up with the main handle every time.

@PaskMakes 6 жыл бұрын

Thanks Gerado! The idea of the blade is to be loose so it self centres and is also easy to clear. Pinning it may work and I've thought about that but I think the dust and shavings would force there way in between the blade and kerf. Thats what happened on the original one I made (it wasn't pinned but it was driven in tight) and the blade ended up twisted and distorted. Also it needs to be removed to resharpen. :)

@DanielStarbuck 6 жыл бұрын

Very nice, it does seem like it would be a bit easier to use if the handles were a tad longer, a few cm on either side would give you a bit more 'umph' when turning the reamer as it looks like quite a shoulder workout to start with, id probably add some grip tape too if making one myself, thats not a criticism though as it seems yours works for you. I hope the hand heals soon and im looking forward to the second part.

Thanks Daniel! I find there is plenty of leverage but making the handles longer would certainly make it even easier. :)
