REED Lipped Ruler: www.woodbywright.com/shop
Back when I was building custom kitchens step one was to go to the customers house and make story poles of the room dimensions...length, depth and height. Back at the shop the first few hours were spent ripping up a batch of 1 1/2" wide strips of quarter inch birch plywood to make story sticks out of. I'd use the story poles to make story sticks with the birch plywood strips. Depending on the size of the project it took anywhere from a few hours to a few days to create a complete full scale layout of every component. Once those story sticks were created I never touched a ruler…the sticks were used to layout anything that needed to be measured. This totally eliminated mistakes plus once I was finished those story sticks got bundled up and stored and if down the road somebody needed something like a cabinet door replicated I wouldn't even have to go back to the job, I'd just go into the pile of story sticks and build from that with complete assurance the item would be correct. Story sticks rule!
I'm retired now and will soon be moving and downsizing my shop. It has been really fun to look back through this inventory of projects...before I toss all that history on a burn pile. 😃
Ordered. I think I might inlay brass pins for common divider locations on mine.
They look great! the boiled linseed oil really brings out the beauty of the wood. Thanks for sharing this.
Snide remark. As requested.
And ... Thanks for another great project and video!
I love that Jeff is doing all of these projects and I really don't mean to be THAT guy but is there any news yet about when his planes will come out?
They are not that far away - late summer early fall. Truth is I like developing tools more than making them. I have one last project (critical to plane development) to finish before I offer them for sale. Thanks for asking!
'Love the Drill-press ~ elegant functionality!
Beautiful work, James! Really well done! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
I like it as an idea for doing the rough layout, a lot nicer looking (and probably to use) than my art store yard stick (a floppy aluminum job)
Nice job👊 really like all your content!!
That looks like a fun and useful project. You'll have to let us know in the Hive Mind how they measure up over time.
Cool project.
Love that drill press!
Great video! Thanks!!!
Thanks for sharing that!
Ain't watched yet just finishing up a reenactment hatchet handle n just wanted to shout out the card scraper, it's beautiful tiny curls and how well it cleans up tool marks for a gorgeous finish that's all lol
seems like a fair amount of space for a bit carving ;)
Very meaningful video
Thanks for sharing.
"Don't give me no lip", I can imagine your kids needing to say that to you.
Thanks
Nice job as always. Also, you may have talked about in an earlier video, I really like the manual drill press(there may be a technical name for it but not sure what it is.😏)
Cbd love your channel!
I think it would be cool to inlay brass on the inches and maybe 2 different contrasting woods on the 1/2 and 1/4. Make it a real heirloom looking piece.
What a lovely project! Your sawing skills are impressive! #sawinggoals
James rules!
Can you make a folding measuring stick?
That would be really pretty with a brass insert for the rule rather than the sticker. I know it's heresy here, but the brass would pop nicely with walnut instead of white oak.
Interesting project- but I always feel that dark wood (mahogany type) goes better with brass. A brushed finish, and it is reminiscent of old cameras. I also like making my own brass parts- it is easy to fabricate such shapes by brazing sections together. More personal, and actually less work than filing castings. I tend to make all by projects furniture that way- difficult to get quality brass furniture at all, never mind at a reasonable cost...
Hello, Mr. Wright;
Very good video, James.
Maybe like you, I try to avoid measuring & transfer dimensions.
I appreciate your 'showing your work', as the teacher said.
BTW, I'll email later, I want your help w/ a project.
Have a GREAT day, Neighbor!
Best story ever! I mean even Pooh had sticks! LOL.
...and he threw his in the water.
@@Tensquaremetreworkshop If it floats it's a witch! LOL.
@@ianpearse4480 Ahh, you twigged on to that...
Utterance in the lower area
You said "brass holes". 😏
I love those Tshirts of yours I want one
I sell a new one once a month sales are only open between the 1st and 7th of the month. Www.woodbywright.com
Interesting. I was thinking of making yard sticks, and I was worrying about bowing in the boards. And it looks like you're saying it's not really an issue, beside esthetics.
It is not great but as long as the bow is up it is not a problem.
Would it be possible to make some kind of stencil for the measurements? Perhaps from .1" sheet metal that could act as a heat shield and then you hit the whole thing with a torch and the markings are burned into the wood where there is no metal covering it.
When are you coming back to homemade BLO?
That could be fun. Jeff is actually making a roller that you can push the rod through and it will cut all of the marks into the wood for you. I'm really interested to see how that comes out.
Well, it’s a story to measure out all your work and better work means less useless work. But as it goes, our Dad Jokes just measure up to something, sometimes, somehow but that also is another story…
Story sticks rule.
Planed it down to the brass? Yikes that scares me😮.
surprisingly you can plane brass.
I'm stunned an find it freeing that the more I watch these plane videos on UA-cam the more I see these guys treat them like rental cars. Paul Sellers himself will practically use the end of one to open a beer bottle. I am shocked but relieved. The first time I ever whacked one of my antique planes with a METAL hammer I almost couldn't do it. Works fine though :)
@@WoodByWrightHowTo Really? But surely it bluntens the blade pretty quickly? Have you ever tried planing aluminium?
@@mrcheese3981 I use a chisel all the time when cleaning up before I file when an area is hard to reach. It is like working with Ipe, yup they dull faster. Cutting bronze or brass is done with HSS end mills that have the same hardness as a woodworking chisel or plane blade. I have not purposely planed bronze but I am not concerned if I hit it when cleaning up. The traditional metal working approach is to bring the metal to the level of the wood. I have done this as well by leveling the wood to the metal. Each method has pros and cons.
This is part of why I love using brass in general. It’s pretty soft. It also isn’t magnetic, doesn’t conduct electricity, conducts head poorly, and it doesn’t rust. I mean, it tarnishes slowly (and that looks kinda nice to me) but not rust rust. But it’s usually hard enough for screws, nuts, bolts, etc.
When restoring stuff, sometimes I leave the tarnish. Sometimes I polish it back shiny.
I keep a 1/8th inch rod around and use it like wood dowel sometimes for accents, or I can easily thread it.
There are a lot of times steel is the right choice, but brass, bronze, aluminum, etc. are nice options to consider sometimes and less risky to chip a blade.

Have you ever made a metric story stick?
LOL I like that one. My story stick is on the Kelvin scale
With those bent pieces of would, this put me in mind of that video you made on a bow file. Instead of a lipped ruler I think it wood be better to call it a "bow ruler".
Does that count as a snide remark?
They’ll set things straight.
Danish oil is Boil linseed oil ? huh ... my wife call it my garage cologne.
Yup. What they call danish oil is just pure BLO
Hmm. I guess every manufacturer has its own recipe...
Btw: is this linseed oil boiled or 'boiled'?
This is traditional boiled linseed oil with out driers. So just super heated Linseed oil that has quickened the polymerization.
Okay, dude, "garage cologne" goes into the hall of fame, along with "sawdust is man glitter"
I think you win this comment section.
Have you ever tried a pullsaw? I could NEVER cut straight with the American style of saw - for whatever reason and had no issues with a pullsaw. But, everyone is different.
Yes. They are great. And the Japanese style tends to be easier for the beginner to grasp. The western style gives you more control but that also means that any small twitch in your arm elbow or shoulder will send it off course.
Any chance that the brass mallet is blacktail studio/Cam Anderson's mallet? It really reminds me of it but I wasn't 100% sure either way.
That is from DMT tool works.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo Oh, okay! Good to know, thanks!

Oh man!!! I messed that up… it should be BDC, “Below Down Comment.” 😢😢😢😂. James thank you for all you do. It is a real encouragement to continue in this hobby (not sport. That is a debate for later) thank you!!!

That's a great one day project that will be very useful. The drill press looks like a converted breast drill, especially with that wildly swinging forehead knocker. I'd love to know if I'm wright and how you made it. I have a breast drill that I'd like to convert. CDB = Charlie Daniels Band
It's not a breast drill. It was originally made but the pressing arm on top was added by a previous owner.

Not the type of tool I used,seeing as not much space in my little shed I think I’ll stick to storey sticks and a tape measure.
