Your toe nails match the Carhartt logo, on your shirt. You are very precise with using an axe.

I appreciate the video and all of the comments that like this level of restoration! I’ve done some carpentry but am just trying to get into finer woodworking so picked up 2 Disston dovetails in need of restoration. I’ll be using some of your techniques. Is boiled linseed oil good for the handles? I don’t have any hemp oil yet.

Good wark

Impressive, I’d say you did this a time or two prior to this .

I too have been drawn to the shape of a cawl spoon. I am looking forward to making one. Thank you so much for bringing this spoon to our attention. I am not so good that I feel I could leave my tool marks but this spoon I hope will l help me make the leap 😊 It looks like you put the crank at the back of the bowl? How deep would you recommend making the crank? Thank you!

Really like the top surface wood, looks like mahogany, and planes nicely.

Nice build. Congratulations!

Utterly beautiful. How did you finish the cup and did you use it to drink from? All the best from Scotland.

Sooooo cool! 😁👍👍

I really liked the burt effect. I hadn't seen that on a Slöyd knife before. 👍👍 The brand Falcon of your plane is new to me. Do you know what country it's from? Thanks.

😴😴😴😴😴👎👎

Great work and video, thanks

I've heard it said that the axe is the most versatile and precise woodworking tool ever invented. I can believe it - look at all that amazing artwork and furniture they made before the days of lathes and power tools. Those awsome ships! All made with saws, adzes and axes...

I have a similar style combination square, I think it's a stanley no. 21. I have no idea where I got it, and I have not seen anyone else with one before. Anyway, inspirational video, thank you for making it!

The half pin wedges are a brilliant idea. No fooling around with broaching a rectangular hole. As tight as an axe handle wedge. Very nice. Block planes are the best! Thanks for showing us this technique.

What happened to you? Channel dead?

sweet, how do you deal with neighbors regarding the impacts from the mallet and sound in general? sweet lathe!

Amen

I have found this video just when I needed it.Really well explained and will help me get my spoons looking less rough and much more elegant.

Now repeat that 20 times in a row on a fallen tree and we'll look at the time difference. I guess they both have their purpose

Just what I was looking for. My GB arrives Sunday. I'm excited! God bless ya!

It’s not really about the speed, it’s about the amount of effort and energy expended. If you’re into working out, then the crosscut saw might be for you. However if you have 10-20 cord of wood to process, the chainsaw definitely begins to look very attractive. They didn’t call those old crosscut saws misery whips for nothing.

So been there! Perseverance! Great learning here! 🎉

You have the gift

Interesting approach. But I wonder: Is it really that much of strength when we talk about a one sided convex bevel with 25 degrees overall? How does it dig in, and how is the wood release? I will have to test this kind of grind. Any literature on this?

Hi from Scotland. My name is Allan. I am a master carpenter and sculpture and really learned from your technique. I have found that you never stop learning no matter how long you have been working with wood. I have been working with wood for 46 years and I have loved every moment of it. Every one can do it, it just starts with the right attitude and technique. My Dad always said, practice, practice and practice. The first thing he taught me was how to sharpen a pencil and then how to sharpen tools and he made me practice by sharpening all the tools. It took ages to get the technique but now it is second nature. I do not even have to think about it. The sense of achievement you get when you design and construct/carve something is better than anything you can imagine. I don't drink or take drugs. I get my 'high' from working with reclaimed wood. It's now in my blood and try to teach others to do the same. The old crafts are dying and is being replaced by computer games and tictok videos. People have forgotten what it means to really create. Thank God for people like you and the rest of the people who share their skills on You tube to remind guys like me that I can still learn and am humble enough to keep learning new techniques. Thank you for sharing your passion with us all and yes I have subscribed and plan to watch all your videos to learn as much as possible. I have just recently bought 5 rusty hewing axes from Ebay and have restored them. They came in a box and they were wrapped in his wife's soiled underware!

Great info- thanks for sharing

Outstanding video- new friend here

I really appreciate the lack of unnecessary fluff to this video. Concise but not dry.

Silky pocket boy is suitable for dry wood also? Cuts easily?

When you deed up the video it sounds like an old steam engine

That turned out great. I’m going to make a lathe and give it a go

Which axe do you use? Cause I have Fiskars x7 weights 700gr and I am wondering which Robin Wood axe to choose, the small (31 cm, 720gr) or the large one (35 cm, 975 gr)

I'm definitely buying a cross cut, thx 👌

Very nice

I enjoyed the unorthodox construction, the way your bench sits, the multi-functional bench and the shape of the handle.

The difference is when you're cutting many small rounds, like 10-20, that 10-15 seconds saves a TON of time and energy.

I am going to "steel" your bench idea ... I need one !!

LOVE the hand-crank drill!! Great work!! Meditative.

I groaned in sympathy when the top cracked.

What do you call that long tool to make holes with 😊

One thing about blade sharpening that others may not know, the teeth on the saw are not always the same height and the sharp"side" of the tooth is sometimes filed on an angle. I noticed a couple of broken teeth which require resharpening until it is the same shape as the others. I might suggest using a light oil like regular WD-40 instead of the turpentine. Turpentine dries fairly quickly, where as WD-40 will stay on the blade until wiped off. It's a like oil mix, which will lubricate the blade, making it much easier to penitrate the rust and the sandpaper will glide easier as well. Very nice job!

good ⚒ ⚒ work.....OORAH!!

So the bevel is on the inside for both tools? I have seen elsewhere that the tool for the outside of the bowl should have the bevel on the inside but the tool for the inside should have the bevel on the outside. I expect it has to do with have the proper technique for the tool in hand as much as the configuration of the tool.

Simple and effective!

He has all his fingers .

Pardon me, but that is one dull and possibly even weak chainsaw. On the other hand, your cross cut saw is quite Sharp.

Very good work!

Cool idea, never thought about it :)
