I forgot to ask if you did a demo of the General Purpose blade? Which of these two blades would give me the best result with a homemade miter sled? I work a lot with walnut, cypress, and mahogany.

Thank you for one of the clearest, informative explanations of a specific saw blade! Your tandem approach works well and the description of the angle of the teeth and the reasons for say, the chamfered raker tooth are great.

Good information, Thanks!

Carbide laying on a steel table that's a NO NO.

Hey, where is your push stick?

If you like powder you should try Keda dyes. The best of the best.

Keep your lighter away from Glen!

Doing your burn test on top of a pail marked flammable is a nice touch.

Useful tip!

Now that is sweet. no one makes it for my hand saws though! some day!

Very helpful

Thanks. I have a project coming up where I am going to try it for the first time!

Does anyone have a link to the video where he shows how to build that cedar stone pond?

More great info. I love great old chisels and the story they tell! Thanks for sharing

Great tips! some day I will get into spraying! thanks for the info!

Workbench looks like it's composed of a couple of million dollars worth of material.

Nice. Pretty much the hardest tool to learn, that skew. It still scares me. Even harder is getting the two sides equal without a template. I love it.

Good to know. Thank you.

Always like to watch you show a technique Chuck, even if I think I already know it. I may just pick up something I can use. Love that old bench too. Oh, if it could talk. I bet the stories it would tell would really be something... Thanks Eric

I do the same thing with one exception; I use a down cut spiral bit. Makes a much cleaner cut; no tear out around the hole rim.

Seriously Glen - did you sacrifice a piece of Tiger Maple for this demonstration????

Nice tip. I used to draw them out ans drill individually. This is much easier.

Really interesting fellas. Those pieces that you would like to build someday are incredible. The Around the Shop podcasts are cool. Thanks, Eric

Roy, The powders will last longer than if mixed with water, but you still need to protect both from sunlight. That’s why we suggest storing any mixed dye in an opaque jug.

What about shelf life? It seems that powders would have a better shelf life.

Thanks, guys. Great Discussion

Very much appreciate you gentlemen sharing your wealth of knowledge in furniture construction. I am learning a lot from you guys. Just ask that Glen maintain proximity to the microphone. Maybe use a smaller table (square or round) where the mic can be placed in front of the mouth. Thanks and keep up the good work.

Didn't know until I had gotten a little more experienced that reproduction of antiques was supposed to be rough. I kind of always thought that the inside should be as nice as possible. And a company called Dictum supposedly sells custom nails at a fair price. (www.dictum.com/en/) The shipping is a little steep though. Thanks fellas.

Pretty fascinating explanation by Chuck on how he mixed & blended the dyes to get the background colors needed. I'm kind of a rookie on dying, and this podcast helped me a lot. Thanks fellas.

Great drawer bottom info from a couple of experts. Thanks.

Fantastic back-and-forth discussion.

Would you put the links you show on your video into the description? Around the Shop is terrific.

Two questions: Where can I find more photos or info on the wonderful chest (at 10:32 minutes)? Chuck, don't you use a jig for cutting the ogee's, after glue-up, on the bandsaw?

Great talk guys. I really like this format. --Tom

I purchased the Festool Half-Sheet sander. Be careful with that one. It can be very, very "rowdy" and bounce around a bit. Believe it or not, for a big sander, you need a very light touch to get it to work. Great show guys. Keep it up!!!!

Some great tips on application. I'm going to try that brush more straight up technique. Thanks.

Really interesting.

The finest stone i use is a 1000 stone and the i move on to a tool that you're probably unfamiliar with its called an emery pad and its used to buff girls nails and it is a small foam block with 3 different grits which polish the edge

Just needs the sound of the occasional OUCH *()#$%)*.

Forgot to say- I would certainly watch Frank teach you about sharpening a tool vs. how to use a power tool ... Life is balance to understand both methods is a great way to balance working with wood

Fantastic shop and Frank is the best. I have enjoyed. It is very important to learn the correct procedures for hand tools. I fondly remember my early days in school and the woodworking teachers that passed on proper procedures and little projects for their students. Whats very cool , is Frank can use every tool in that shop and that's amazing ... Great videos of a great artist craftman ...Wow

Having sharpened everything from pocket knives to circular blades used in saw mills I have found as you say that the hands and eyeball are the best jigs. I also like your grinding set up.

Frank, I just discovered your videos on KZfaq. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills. Your dovetail and sharpening tutorials are the best I've seen. Your shop is awesome. I could live in a place like that. Thanks again.

MUITO LEGAL ESSAS DICAS, VOCÊ ESTÁ DE PARABÉNS.

The chisel portion was excellent. I think jigs are unnecessary too. The plane iron part seemed like an ad for the jig and stone product. Not sure why you'd not just freehand the plane iron, which would be easier (more surface area) to do then the chisels. The edges can be rounded just by adding more pressure there.

Frank is just the epitome of what I think about when I think about an old world craftsman. I could listen to the man share tips on just about anything.

So much fun to watch him.

Excellent stuff! Best quick sharpening video yet.

Fantastic! Which 3 water stones has Frank chosen for his new shop?

Another excellent bit of wisdom from this legend.
