No woodworking this weekend due to surgery. So instead I share my thoughts on keeping a woodworking journal to help improve your skills. Keeping a woodworking journal allows the maker to record successes and failures, high points and low. We learn as much, or more, from our mistakes than from the flawless project. Keeping this record helps us analyze what might have been done better and sets us...

Great technique
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. They might look a bit "rough" but I like it that way.
thank you for admitting that this is your first time trying these things. honesty is our strongest ally. it builds bridges and bonds. 30 minute videos are difficult for me to digest. im 4.5 decades old. by no means old, by no means young. if i didnt work, and i were 20 years old again, id gladly watch all the 30 minute videos. I subbed.
Thank you. I really appreciate you watching. I want to be honest about the fact that I am working to gain skills and expertise but far from an expert.
You are right about no need to go to gym. I have same plane number 5 it is heavy and i did a great workout with it. But be careful don’t be excessive with it. I got carpal tunnel syndrome. I know it is my fault, I was very tough with my hand, didn’t think about the consequences.
@happycats5223 Thanks for the warning and for sharing your experience. I did more planing after I finished recording and I am definitely feeling it.
Western woodworking system is (pushing) and this targeted my carpal tunnel. Eastern Japanese woodworking system is (pulling) it may target the fingers but I think it is not risky and it deserves a try.
@@happycats5223 I own some Japanese pull saws but no planes. I have a hard time controlling the cut but I am sure that is a technique problem not a tool issue
As an amateur, I have always held that ignorance of others opinions on a subject can be a superpower. Having someone to rely on for help is wonderful, but attempting a project using a technique you have never tried before with no preconceived ideas about the difficulty involved can make your attempt a lot more successful. I own more reference books than I have internet forum bookmarks. I'd rather try unsuccessfully 100 times to do something, gaining information along the way, than have one person convince me that what I am attempting is impossible. Does my work suck? Yeah, some of it is horrible, but what I do well has been accomplished through perseverance and patience. I admire what others can accomplish, but I know for a fact I am capable if I put the effort into a project rather than convince myself I will never be able to gain the skills to make it work.
@@csstatham Thanks for your perspective. It sounds to me like you are enjoying the process of working things out and trying different techniques, taking joy in the journey as much as the destination. I don't know if your process requires or fosters patience and perseverance but both are admirable and necessary.
Thanks for all of your videos before and more to come 😊 👍
And thank you for being a loyal viewer!
@@AncientCityCraftworks To the infinity , I love hand tools.
❤
Thank you
❤
Thanks for watching. Love the user name!
I appreciate the video. My thoughts are these - basswood is a good place to start, or green wood, as you mentioned. Maple is a good green wood. Fruit tree woods sometimes have wavy grain that makes them hard to work. I also agree that sandpaper is good, especially for a begining woodworker. I think you could have sawed that blank in half, which goes along with your comments at the end of the video. I also think a longer sloyd knife would be better. Maybe you could have a few more types of cuts. My experience is limited and I have a lot more to grow. Thank you for sharing this. I think I'll try it, although I'll take into account what you said, especially regarding a thinner blank
Thanks for the comment and observation. I do have a knife with a longer blade but tend to forget about it because it doesn't feel as good in my hand. I'll do another one with that knife and see how it goes. Choosing the thinner blank made a world of difference. Thanks again and thanks for sticking around to the end.
Love it ! Many thanks.
Thanks Ross
Thanks for sharing 😊
Thanks for watching again 😁
As it is circle why not using a dowel instead? Would be easier
Great question. Yes a dowel would be easier if you have the right size. But there are times where this is a better option such as chair legs. One of the things I love about woodworking is there is not just one way of doing anything. Many options work and work well.
I got your point. Thank you 🙏
Thanks, keep the episodes coming , I appreciate that as a beginner 😊
Thanks for coming back and watching another one.
Tha ks for the experience sgaring mate!
Thanks for stopping by and taking a look.
This is GOLD right here!
I'm high school I was a member of VICA 2 years ,our Teacher John H Thompson was a legend(literally) I hope all the kids get a chance to give it a go,you just never know where the next Stanley Maloof will come from
What a great opportunity as a student!
I really enjoy all your videos!your a breath of fresh air to our beloved community
Thanks so much Chad and thanks for watching
Thanks for sharing your experience
Hey Moon Dog. Thanks for watching
You need a wireless microphone I can barely hear you talking. Good presentation though
Thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate it.
@AncientCityCraftworks I also have a youtube channel called Cannon woodworking. I appreciate any feedback you can give me if you watch the videos. I mostly restore hand planes. Here is a link to a video. ua-cam.com/video/tL9OprAoCnQ/v-deo.htmlsi=pbtAGGd4gRuwONQ6
Good point about keeping wee hands out of the way with the Japanese saw.
Thanks for watching Hawkeye
Neat!
Thanks Michael
well unfortunately I havent been a kid for a decade or two, but as an adult wanting to learn woodworking, I learned a lot. Im adding some videos to my playlist for later. Thanks for your explanations!
Thanks for stopping by!
Very good ylthanks.
Thank you
Just starting to do some woodworking with my granddaughter. Looking forward to what comes next.
What a special time. My grandson is only 1 so I'll have to wait a few years.
That bench surface is weak to hammer on it , thanks for sharing 😊.
Thanks for the comment. Yes the bench is weak especially for an adult. I was hoping to show that you can get you kids started without spending a lot of money even if it means a bench that isn't perfect.
@@AncientCityCraftworks I see , love to watch more beginner hand tools projects as am new to the hobby just started a year ago still collecting my tools in budget 😔 , I love woodworking.
Welcome to woodworking! It is great to see new people enjoy the craft. I would love to know more about your journey.
I love the hat! 😂
Thanks
So cool. 🎉❤😊
Thank you
I’m preparing to build my 3rd workbench and this is so incredibly helpful. Thank you!
I'd love to see your bench when done.
Great video and well explained your method of the t light lanterns 👍
Thanks for watching!
Your tea lights must be larger than what I have.
That is very likely. I have purchased from Amazon and a big box and those were the same size but it may be both brands came out of the same factory.
@@AncientCityCraftworks I Drilled a 1-3/8 hole for the ones that I have
How tight is your fit? I use 1 1/2 because that is the size bit I have but the fit is a little on the loose side. 1 3/8 might work better. Thanks for commenting!
We learn more from our mistakes than our successes. Very useful. Thank you
Thanks Rob
Thanks for sharing a way to use branches of which I have a lot!
Thanks for watching
Was watching one of your turning vids, I believe your lathe is a WEN, Any issues or concerns with the Wen? I watched another guy say it is basically a throw away tool What are your thoughts on the Wen?
I bought the Wen when I first started because it was an afforable option. I didn't know if I would enjoy turning so couldn't justify a bigger more expensive machine. I have been very happy with it and think it is a good value. Eventually I will upgrade but for now it serves me well.
Thank you for your response@@AncientCityCraftworks
Made a dozen or so, they are a fun project, I make some out of branches and some out of square, the advantage of square is that it’s easier to hold for the holes
Thanks for the comment Ian. Yep the square are easier to hold but I love that eastern red cedar
Those looks beautiful and you have done a great work ☺☺
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing your process. I'm sure the handsome and talented Mr. Peace would be proud to know he inspired you. Question: To mark where you will be drilling the four 'windows' in the side of the lamp, did you consider using your lathe's indexing function? Once you've mounted the rounded blank in your chuck, it would seem you could lock the headstock and draw a line the length of the blank using your tool rest as a straight edge. Then, using your lathe's index function 1/4 rotation, lock the headstock and draw another line. Rinse, repeat. Your method worked, but it seems using the index function would be quicker and more accurate.
*Smacking myself in the head* Seems pretty obvious now that you mention it. Thanks for the advice.
I’ve made some of these ornaments and it’s easy to mess up especially boring the holes but most ppl don’t see and they just love um thanks
Yes they do. It is a quick project but I can't make them fast enough
Ciao Caro amico , queste piccole lanterne sono tra le migliori che ho visto sul web. Buone Feste , riguardati e un saluto da Roma .
Grazie amico e buone feste anche a te
I started volunteering at our local STEAM center teaching a hand tool kids woodworking class. The director of the center sent me an Instagram video of a Sloyd woodworking program in Louisville, CO so now I am going down this rabbit hole to investigate Sloyd.
That’s fantastic. Is the name of the CO group Sloyd Experience. If so I follow then and love what they are doing. If not forward me the link please. Also check out Doug Stowe of Clear Springs School. He does something similar
@@AncientCityCraftworks It is Sloyd Experience.
Cool!
Thanks Enoch!
Thank you for identifying your mistakes, what you intended, and what’s you’d now do differently! Helpful.
Even an inaccurate rule will work until yo have. More than one. Now you have confusion! Beware of cheap rules and squares. They are easily checked. God bless sir.
Thanks.
No lathe! Looks good my friend. God bless.
Thanks Flash
Very good how fortunate to have that wonderful ash. Pipe clamps an excellent implementation. Had I foreseen your table or bench on a bench implementation. I would have inked you this video. ua-cam.com/video/VfdyS96GOAA/v-deo.html love that you may use it for the grand kids. Thanks for sharing. Great heart and vision. God ess.
Thanks for the link! I will check it out
Late comment laminate your chop with good hard wood or better still baltibirch construction grade plywood, ⅝ or ¾" if you have it. The resulting chop will decrease capacity for thickness, but offer far more rigidity. Or make bridged spines full length of chop relieved to accommodate casting and clamping handle. God bless.
You will still have racking issues. But jaw will be more rigid across length. Otherwise, a moxon vise may be in your future and will put the workpiece up higher as well. Thanks for what you do.
Thanks for the suggestion. I appreciate people sharing ideas and tips
@@flashwashington2735 and a moxon vice is almost certainly in the future
i really like these starts with minimal tools. i remember when i was a kid and my dad gave me a hammer, chisel and saw. if i couldn't do it with those three tools, i wasn't ready for other tools according to him. learned how to rebate, groove and dado with just the hammer and chisel. dimensioning with the saw. laid a hell of a foundation.
What a great story. Thanks for sharing.
if I can get a solid level hold on the piece, then i prefer the blockplane. i usually work on making even facets around the end and then cut the corners off the facets. make half an octagon, then plane the corners off to make half a hexadecagon(16 sided) and then just work on making it smooth fro there. i get much better results in terms of evenness and symetry when i do it that way.
Sounds like you have done this a few times!
@@AncientCityCraftworks probably a few hundred times over ~30 years if i had to guess. these days my preferred method is to get it into rough shape, and then refine it with some custom moulding scrapers i've made out of old saw plates. it's the same process as making a scratchstock basically. just make the roundover you want, sharpen and roll a burr. then get 90% of the way there with a plane or spokeshave and let the moulding scraper finish it out. i did a set of shelves recently. ~600 inches of roundovers by hand took less than a day. everything ended up very consistent. if i didn't know better, i would have thought it was done with an electric router, just without the burning.
@@jsmxwll I'm coming to the handtool party a little late so I've got some learning to do before I get that complex.
It won't be as strong as a mortise and tenon joint because there is relatively less gluing face area, so the strain forces will be less distributed, but it will be still strong as it resists racking in all directions because of it's cylindrical shape. Using it at both ends of a stretcher would be fine.
I think you’re right. Appreciate the comment.
This is such a wholesome channel😍 my dad was a timber framer and we used to help him with different wood projects.
That sounds like so much fun. Thanks for watching.
I think this is awesome!
Thank you!
