Thanks

Come on Graham, was that a slip of the tongue? surely you meant to say Rebate not Rabbet. Where's that accent from? 😁

Thank you sir for all you do. You truly are a national treasure of the art/craft, sharing your skills, wisdom and experience in the trade. Thanks to you and others, the tradition is very clearly in good hands. Even if not into woodworking, others will still find your videos interesting, just learning how trades people were able to make such fine furniture centuries ago, without all the power tools.

The Ultimatum Brace is the most beautiful tool in the world and I so want one! I've considered making one, although it will never be as beautiful as your brace.

Sound of Music! Fascinated by the Traditional Woodworkkng, hugs from Tuscany

Does it matter on type of steel in making blades ?

Wonderful ! Thank you

After watching this I just ordered two carpenter mortise chisels an 8mm and a 14mm. I need to cut a few good mortises for my bench build. Thanks for the lesson.

Thanks Graham, you just reinforced my aversion to electric routers and costly bits. This is a marvelous tool that I can make to get the edge features I’m looking for. Also, as a tip for source material to make the blade I suggest old saw hack blades they are my go to metal to make small parts.

It is amazing how people so quickly sell their intellectual birthright to the "backscratchers", rather than find much greater (AND more economical) pleasures in their own cleverness! With so very much within our reach, thank you for extolling the virtues of an all-too-ready simplicity of 'kit'!

Fantastic share. Thank you.

Great tips

Forgot about that amazing tool.

thank you

What shooting board playing or shooting plane are you using?

Hello Graham, I've recently moved to the US of A, from the UK and have been slowly building up my tool collection and fitting out my two-car garage as a new workshop. I bought a collection of 25 various wooden planes that are in great condition and all usable. I am keen to follow a more traditional way of woodworking and just came across your KZfaq channel. The content is exceptional, I really appreciate the wooden plane adjustment tips as I was taught with metal planes. I've ordered the guide from the makers of American wooden planes.so that should help shed some light on what I have in my collection. A question, do you teach classes at all? Thanks

A few years ago, I made a scratch stock following the directions in one of the woodworking magazines. Their procedure for sharpening was very involved and I never did get a clean profile in the wood. I am excited to try the method you recommend. I get the impression it is important to go lightly and be patient, rather than apply significant force. Is that the case? Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Thank you Graham! Now I know what I will use my thick and wide industrial band saw blade (yard sale found) for.

Thank you. Probably one of the betterexplanations of a scratch stock.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Thanks for sharing!

I use broken bandsaw blades. You don't have to worry about grain direction as much as with a plow plane beading blade.

That's one of the tools on my to-do list, Graham! 😊 In an (kind of) unrelated topic... Well, another of my hobbies is electronics. I made a fume extractor, for soldering, some years ago, but it's too big and bulky... So I bought a smaller but stronger fan to make a new one. And I didn't know what kind of plastic box I'd use for it... But now I just realized: I could easily make it out of wood! 😃 And perhaps I even make some beads on it! Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

I loved this video! I'm going to try making this. Thank you.

I never understood how to actually sharpen scratch stock bits. Thank you so much for showing exactly how simple it is. Now I'm going to go make one with a couple of different profiles that I have in mind

Basically a Molding Plane

I think this is the only good explanation of scratch stock ive seen on KZfaq

Thanks Graham!

Just plain sheet steel?

Oh I am so stupid.. such a great idea.. Why didn't I think of this before.. My friends call me genius.. But I always tell them I am just a lucky dumb guy.. this is proof of that.. Thanks Graham.. As always such great stuff here.

Super 👍 je connais bien, en français, cela s’appelle un tarabiscot. J’en ai fabriqué un qui fonctionne très bien. Merci pour tout votre partage de connaissances.

Wonderful videos and the best theme song on the Internet!

Always pleasant to see Graham

As always, thank you. I am a woodworker over 80 and have a good collection of hand tools and just love your explanation of how to use them.

Thank you really simple good explanation

It strikes me that your blade holder could use a few perpendicular score marks around all sides of it prior to edge rounding as blade alignment guide marks or a matching recess(es) in the wood halves. I would add that I found using a scratch stock tool requires a sharp blade, some sort of scraper or knife edge to remove the inevitable fuzz created along the cuts, lots of practice in different kinds of woods, and patience to allow the tool to do the work instead of heavy pressure and force. With the LN tool you should also lock your wrists as you go to keep the cut line straight. There is fair amount of difference between watching someone use it and doing it yourself. It's not all that easy to master but when you do it can create unique shapes A good video as always.

Thank you sir, i have been learning hand tool wood working from yourself and paul sellers tutorials and this is something i have never come across. Will try as it seems very exciting to be able to make this using scrap. Can you please explain how would this be functionally different from a moulding or beading plane (i would imagine the quality of surface ?). Thank you and Kind Regards from Pakistan

It looks like you have similar issues with Western saws as I do.

Ok, this looks very straightforward planing (sp?) a side of a board to have the shape you need for a window sash, do you have a video you can point me to where it shows how they used to plane the end of a board or thin piece of wood to meet that ovalo like what you would need to have a divided pane of glass with thin wood strips in the middle? I'm guessing you might need three different planes designed to fit together to make a full divided light window sash?

Where have you been on YT. I have been glued to YT woodworking channels for more than 10 years. You go back longer than that. I'm late to hand tools. Paul Sellers really got me excited about 10 years ago. I could not believe another shooting board video popped up. In my mind I had my doubts your shooting board could be any better than the 30 or more videos. I have made shooting boards that are too complicated compared to yours. Also you are the first to mark your workpiece with a pencil or marking knife.. Brilliant. New subscriber. Thank you.

Nicely put and thanks for sharing.

I got a used #80 stanley scraper and my immediate first thought on using it after getting it set up was "Why isn't this something that every single hand tool woodworking youtube channel is telling beginners they should get". Seriously, it's amazing. It even FEELS good to use. And they don't cost much. Mine is a nice vintage one and I only paid I think $35. I never want to touch wood to sandpaper again

It was not boring. 😁 It was interesting as usual and very nice of you to one again to share it with us. Woodworking is really about finding ways to adapt. Still amazed about how much there is to find!

Fascinating! Watching your videos is always an interesting education in woodworking possibilities. Seems to me our ancestors were endlessly clever and very very skilled. as are you

As always good tips and tools to keep an eye out for. Thanks Graham!

8:56 cool !

7:02 😮I didn’t know why ! Thank you

Graham, terrific video. Straight (lousy pun) forward info. Thank you.

as usual, nice tips!

As you said, boring is anything but boring. Thank you for sharing.
