If you want to really geek out on grafting, The Grafter's Handbook is awesome. It is way more than necessary for home grafters, but truly broad: amzn.to/2qgeUaa

Greetings. My spouse and I are watching this series with great excitement. I actually went out and took some branches off a peach that we have removed to practice on. First thing, I managed to cut myself. Watching this video again now. Thank 😊 you.
Thanks for taking the time to go into this for those of us without a lot of experience grafting, much appreciated.
Loved it! Thanks for sharing these great tips🙂
Absolutely brilliant video on knife safety and all the other videos good work. no one show such things many thanks from UK
Fantastic safety video and recommendations on practicing
Most underrated chanel out there!
These are really well thought out and communicated explanations. Excellent video.
thanks for the safety tips
Thank you so much for this wonderfully detailed instruction - the best I have found, and I have watched many. I don't understand why you don't get more views. This and many of your videos have so much higher quality content than those of other UA-camrs, who seem more intent on being adored and admired than communicating the details of their chosen subject. Great work.
I agree, emphatically.
@@lisakukla459 me too. I have two go to channels. This is one. Never disappointed.
@@jonnsmusich Absolutely. What's the other one?

This is a great instructional video. Logical and clear. I will practice as suggested. I have one question, is the bevel side of the grafting knife facing up and the flat side facing down when cutting the scion?
Number one recommended thing in a woodcarver first aid kit is a tourniquet for good reason. Safe tool handling is no joke. 😅😮💨
I lied that we were grafting in the next video :) , but seriously, going out to record the first actual grafting vids right now!
This is incredibly helpful! I was getting really nervous about using the knife and would have been one of those people making all those mistakes you showed. This makes me feel much more confident about using the knife properly. Now I’m off to go practice!
Man am I glad I decided to watch this video. Thanks for sharing this information.
very useful information thanks bro...
Thank you... 🙏
OUTSTANDING GRAFTING LESSON. LEARNED A LOT ABOUT SAFETY GRAFTING.
👍
Hey, just wanted to say thank you for putting these videos out, even if it wasn't the series you wanted to make.
It's fine. it could help me to do a version 2.0 later with all the stuff I missed or that people asked. We'll see. It's good enough though.
Excellent instruction
thank you.
You are a great teacher
Thanks. Gotta work on my technique. I'm running out of time
Excellent demonstration, as usual. Well done.
thanks :)
very good instructional video, thank you!
Ah, I think I see why my cuts keep being so scoopy now. I'll try this way tomorrow. My boobs are a little nervous, but we'll figure it out. I've got that good government insurance.
Man! This is a fantastic series!
When the body is used to stop movement of the blade I call it a Break. Excellent advice. The slicing action you speak of is the same action seem on a Axe bit that has a roundish shape to the bit. A skewing action. You can place your finger on a blades sharp edge and apply pressure just don't move the finger. I don't have a good single bevel grafting knife. Been using a utility knife. I may try making one or modifying a knife. Or I should just purchase one.
I wouldn't buy a grafting knife unless you're going to do a lot. You can make one in an hour from a paring knife. Not that big a difference if you know your way around a knife.
great video, thank you
Well explained, thank you Steven!
Welcome!
Excellent ... very much appreciated .
..Thank you sir
You are welcome
i recently discovered this channel. Can not believe how little views he gets
Thanks for the video. I cut my fingers making tongues so here I am learning. Does it matter how the flat side of the blade is positioned during a cut? Like if you're pulling it, should the beveled edge be facing the bark with the flat side facing out?
flat side down
We are listening !
Awesome!
Well done video. Learning a lot about grafting. The other half saw your vids and wants a Frankentree. And oh ya, drunk carving give you stitches. I used to drink ALOT,and carve. Lots of stitches. Really not good, LOTS OF STITCHES. Thanks Bro
Yes, graft, then drink. A FRANKENTREE IN EVERY GARAGE!
Omg I'm a new grafter just gone through two boxes of bandages 😢
Femoral artery.
Thanks for the very detailed video. Do women grafter hold that knife differently? I feel like my right boobie is in danger in that position.
Ha, I wouldn't really know lol. You should be able to hold it lower down though, on the abdomen and get almost as much control. There are other ways too. Some just cut away from themselves, but I find it doesn't work as well on some scions.
Too lengthy n boring
It could have been completed in a single vedio of 10_12 mins.
So, I generate an 11 PART series on grafting for everyone to enjoy and use for free, and all you have to say is to whine that I didn't tailor it to your preferences? Try doing an 11 part video part series on anything to please the whining, entitled masses and then we can talk. Tariq Ahmad, "this channel has no content"
So, go do it. Just do it.
