How long did it take you to get your saw plate from Blackburn? I've been waiting almost 2 years for mine!

I've only seen a couple of your videos, but enough to decide to subscribe! You do some seriously great work. I started my first saw months ago, but made the mistake of leaving a burr on the plate while test fitting the plate into the folded brass back I had. This prevented me from properly setting the plate fully in the back as a result. So I set out to make new backs, which obviously means I still haven't finished! At least the handle turned out well. I also ordered several parts from Isaac at Blackburn Toolworks (unrelated to the saw I mentioned previously) and I am still waiting for my order over 9 months later. How long was your wait?

One of my to do projects. Loved the shaping you incorporated. Nicely made

I have some mahogany decking with no purpose until now lol

Great video! Thanks for sharing

nice

Потрясающая работа. Очень красиво. Я тоже считаю, что красивым инструментом гораздо приятнее работать. Хочется работать даже просто чтобы испытать это эстетическое и тактильное удовольствие. Поэтому декор на ручке и форма лезвия - прям топ!

Great job and looks aesthetically pleasing

That's a great saw and a wonderful heirloom a tool to be extremely proud of

Great video and a great saw please keep the videos coming you have talent and it's a pleasure to watch your work in progress

I watched the whole video in one sitting. It was wonderful. I am going to be building a work bench for myself, it will probably be my last as I’m 70 and retired. I will be using some of your ideas and techniques. I am especially encouraged in using mostly non electric hand tools. I have the top which is 100 year old solid hard maple 30” x 72” x 3” which used to be a butchers cutting table. I’m getting a Sjoberg bench vise for the front, and already have my grandfathers tail vise. I would like to make the base out of yellow pine, and will be using your technique of joining it to the top. Thanks for taking the time to make the video.

Absolutely brilliant. Your use of hand tools is inspirational. Thank you for sharing.

Nice Trestles Gillis, loving the PPE footwear ! 😉

A nice bit of repurposing, where did the timber for the top come from, it looked "hard as nails" - well seasoned (old) I guess !

Great Job!

Even though that build was for an artist exhibition, it is still a very good lesson on how to make a useful piece that could adorn anybody's garden. Oh, and nice visual transition at 1:59, you got me there 😀

Nice no-nonsense clean up and sharpen, that was all they needed, the No4 smoother cuts beautifully now, and Scrub plane seems like a good use for a corrugated plane that may not be your preference for a smoother !

Tsa beauty! Just finished the top of my bastardised Moravian today and so shall take a few cues from you for the bottom half. Many thanks.

Hi can you please let me know the resin you used? Resin and brand name or maybe if you can share the link for it? Thanks

I cant believe how easy you make it all look. Amazing job, agree with the other comment's about the paint covering up the Joinery, but hey that's commission work....

Looks nice to me. Not chunky. Has a classic park bench appearance.

Appears simple, yet the joinery that rivals cnc 🙂

Amazed that your “rough cut to size”, looks way better than my finished product!

Tycker du lyckas bra med ett gömma undan klumpigheten i tvåtumsplankorna. Väl slöjdat!

A master class in joinery!

I assume your native language is Swedish, so I’m impressed that your spoken English has no trace of a Swedish accent. Nice work on the bench, I’m always a little disappointed that fine fitting joints get hidden with paint.

Thanks Gillis nice work and a good job on your friends art installation

Beautiful work, dude! Amazing looking bench! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

You really have the Midas Touch! You can even make construction timber look amazing! 🙂

Loved this bench build. You stayed true to hand tools and traditional joinery despite the timber and design. The construction pine looked decent quality too.

Nice! I guess that some of the choices was not your usual ones - like building furniture with construction grade lumber and the chunky look. But it really fits in the context so mission accomplished :)

Well done. It looked like a fun little project.

I saw you forgot to turn end for end (turn the page) as you did it. With refinedments you could also cut notches along the length, maybe make a few cuts further from the edge then use a router to clean it up This looks like the best jig I have seen for ripping long pieces to make narrower onse. I've seen Americans making various campervan/RV beds using "4x2" which looks to me vastly overengineered.

VERY interesting tool. I think maybe using a branch or a wood rod curved with heat would be easier to make. Maybe be a curved blade as in the original would be easier to control. Congratulations!. 😊

I loved your project, do you still have your sketch? I want to build a similar one with my father in law, but I don't know how to sketch, how did you research for yours?

Push saw

Hey man, i just found your channel tonight, and it is extremely encouraging. I too myself am a relatively young guy with a real passion for traditional woodworking. I am perhaps a little further behind in my development, only been going for a couple of years, but making some quite good stuff. My question is this, are you able to make a living? I struggle to find the market that cares not just what you make, but how you make it. I understand this isnt really related to this particular video, but where im from in England, I struggle to find anyone that really understands (or cares) what it means to be a craftsman. When almost all machine shops label their stuff as 'handmade', I feel that people lose sense of what that really means. Im determined for it to be work and not just a hobby, but for sure we are needles in a haystack. Anyway, im so pleased to see a woodworker that i can truly relate to, and felt the need to express that. Keep up the brilliant work mate! Matt from UK

Magnifique travail ! 😃👍

Thank you sir.🎉

Great job, your saw has that little extra and that shows!

This is great, I really like how much thought you put into details like gluing up pieces to get straight grain for the middle rail. I'm gradually making my way through all your videos!

Esa es la evanisteria que megusta , con herramientas manualesexelente saludos desde Argentina

Exelent.....!!!!👍👍👍👍👍

Glad I found this. Your skill is amazing and your interest in old school woodworking is inspiring. I subscribed and will be looking at everything else you put in KZfaq. Thanks for taking the extra time to make videos of your fine work. .

I always use a push stroke when using coping saws, I have never used a bow saw yet

good job man, I totally agree with not building a bench right away, I haven't really set up my shop yet either. I have been working for about a year to see what I need and where it is best for the space, build it once hopefully . Thaks for tsking the time out to make this

i seen this years ago and still come back one of the best woodworkers i know with handtool skills like you have keep it up brother

@GillisBjork jag tror quartersawn korresponderar närmare till kvarterssågat där man sågar stocken i fyra 90° sektorer och sedan tar ut brädorna parallellt med sektorns mittlinje. Radialsågat är när man tar ut varje bräda så att årsringarna går nästan rakt genom brädans tjocklek. Mittenbrädan från varje kvart i kvarterssågat blir radialsågad.
