"You may be wondering why I'm building another luthier's clamp..." James, no one with any sense will question why you need more clamps 😂

Looking forward to the class. Would like to see a YT video for a Luthier’s Clamp with the cam lock too

My recollection is that the classic formula for danish oil is two parts, boiled linseed oil, one part mineral spirits, and one part varnish.

@WoodByWrightHowTo 2 ай бұрын

It really is no classic formula. It's mixtures of all kinds. But it's usually boiled Lindsay oil plus something else usually a thinner and a protectant of some kind

I'll never question anyone when they say they need more clamps. Also I still can't get the feel for western saws, which is weird because its what I (and any westerner) started off with. I use Japanese saws for everything, they just made sense to my brain immediately for some reason.

@WoodByWrightHowTo 2 ай бұрын

The Japanese saw is much easier to learn, but harder to control. The western saw is hard to learn as it is very easy to over control.

Felt protective pads for furniture legs that come in the assorted sizes at most hardware stores are my favorite clamp pads. Hot glue helps hold em on better than just the provided adhesive if need.

I don't really understand the toggles however I think these would be ideal for epoxy clamping. I think Daisy, across the pond, the young guitar builder uses the ones with the cam

@Apillicus 2 ай бұрын

The toggles act like a wedge to keep the jaw from moving. The U shape is to prevent it from falling out and getting lost

@Praxaeus 2 ай бұрын

You could drive a small square peg of the toggle wood through the end and chamfer it into a square to retain the toggles and moving jaw. It would look really handsome and show off the differences in woods.

James - may I check with you what plane you are using please, as I noted seems the Zen Wu blade fits that plane very well

@WoodByWrightHowTo 2 ай бұрын

that is a Stanley bedrock. the Zen Wu will need most any traditional plane to be modified to fit the mouth. you will want to file the mouth a bit to get it in. here is the video modifying that plane. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q9uTi9KnxJjakZs.html

What do the walnut pieces do. Are they tapered to lock the jaw.

@WoodByWrightHowTo 2 ай бұрын

They allow you to break the friction a little bit easier it allows you to open it up with a little less pressure. It's not a big difference but enough that it's worth it.

@BarronFinancial 2 ай бұрын

I'm confused. If the sliding clamp part slides on the wooden bar, then how does the clamp apply pressure? Is there an angle that needs to be applied to the sliding clamp to address the clamping? Why would the sliding clamp not simply slide apart when applied to the work piece?

@WoodByWrightHowTo 2 ай бұрын

Your grip straight applies the pressure. The twisting action locks it in place just like a holdfast.

I really enjoyed this video. Could you create a video explaining the differences between files and floats and when to use one over the other?

@WoodByWrightHowTo 2 ай бұрын

I actually have a few videos on the topic. Here's one. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i9aVf7Kay5vPdnk.htmlsi=-hUvifVlAQpPu8eK the big difference is that floats have very large teeth so they can dig in a little bit more. Basically the difference between rough and fine sandpaper. But a lot of floats are actually left soft like a hand saw. That way you can sharpen them.

Question, does your homemade BLO smell fishy? I dont really smell it but my, and my friend's mom say it smells terrible. Are there any affordable and preferably natural options (or ways to make it less smelly)?

@WoodByWrightHowTo 2 ай бұрын

Mine does not smell fishy. Some people like the smell and some people don't but I've never heard it referred to as fishy

@spto7382 2 ай бұрын

@WoodByWrightHowTo When I googled it, it said that blo can smell fishy and some people who accidentally cooked with linseed oil also said it smelled like fish. I think some people might just be sensitive to it (like some people can smell when animals mark the territory)

that and "Fishy" is often a catch all term for odd or out of place.

Take a look at this video for another Luthier Clamp - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qbtxpbhh1bTPhmw.html. Having cams on both sides looking interesting

@WoodByWrightHowTo 23 күн бұрын

The cam locks can I have pressure. But the focus of this clamp isn't adding pressure it's just holding a a piece in place. I might have to do a video on those in the future. I did want a long time ago but I can't find a link now.

@reskridge 23 күн бұрын

@@WoodByWrightHowTo No worries. I wasn't thinking of the next class. The cam concept looked interesting. I have seen the cam on the lever in boat building applications but have never seen a cam on the beam nor cams on both...thought it was an interesting modification. I liked the idea of being able to have longer beams available if necessary for the application

I used to believe the same thing. But with the strength of modern glue joints the wood will fail long before the glue joints fail. I know he used hide glue which isnt as strong, but to say it does nothing may be a stretch, the glue would still hold up to alot of shear force before failing
