    Using walnut for firewood is a sin lol! Glad you rescued that piece. Nice vid!!! And by the way, learning is indeed a wonderful thing. I'm 75 and still can't decide what I want to do when I grow up, so I continue to study lots of different stuff. The internet is an amazing research tool, youtube especially.

    • @AnneofAllTrades
      @AnneofAllTrades  4 роки тому +3

      Haha I agree on that, but it grows like a weed here, so I see folks using it as firewood all over the place! Straight crazy if you ask me. Learning is wonderful, and the internet is indeed a great tool!

      I'm with you BirdYoumans! Learning and keeping your mind busy is what helps so many to live a long, full, and happy life. My grandparents (who came to America from Italy while in their mid-teens with their families), into their mid and late 90's still having all of their faculties, and the ability to move and do the things they loved. Grampa was a very successful painting contractor and was still climbing ladders and working until he was 86 when gout prevented him from working any more. He was still very active in his large fruit, nut, and vegetable garden, and playing two games of tournament Bacci Ball on a league team twice a week. And if gout made it to difficult to stand for any length of time, he still wore his league shirt and cheer on his teammates from the sidelines with my grandmother. She always went to cheer him on and she packed a basket of a block of Italian table cheese, Italian bread, and their own fresh fruit like apples, or the best peaches I've ever tasted, figs that were huge and sweet, and almonds from their own trees to share and snack on. They always walked hand in hand or my grandma would put her arm onto his. They kissed each other in public which, for their generation, was a big thing. They were so in love, just like they were when they met as teens, until the day they died.

    Anne, I'm new to your channel, but I just watched this video and around 2:50 you really connected with me. I have an amazing, brilliant, inventive, dyslexic, 12-year-old daughter and she works with me on every project that we do on our little 5 acres. She totally has an engineer's mind and I always listen when she has suggestions. She has saved me many times. She loves her many, many chickens and making things. She never complains about chores or time spent with our animals. Thank you for inspiring me to encourage her even more. Are there any other videos were you discuss your struggles as a young person? I love showing her strong, female role models like you. Thank you x 100!!!

    Ann I am 60 years old and have lived a life of covering up my disabilities, I never gave up up on learning new things. at 45 my daughter Kelly taught me how to use sight words to help me read a book, it was Sea Biscuit the first book in a book club in a couple's book club my wife sign me up in with navbars and friends. I was tariffed that every body would thing is was stupid. anyway Kelly helped me and I finished the book in time for the meeting. I had not read a book cover to cover since high school. a few years ago my oldest daughter Carolyn was pregnant, when she told me the first thing I thought was i need to build her a rocking chair. I had not built a any furniture since high school. I looked on the internet for what I wanted to build her and I came across a Sam Malloof rocker. that was the one! I had know idea. But a few days after the baby shower I gave her the rocker. You, April W Matt C., Steve,

    I've gone to the firewood pile to make every replacement tool handle I've ever needed....and even an occasional gift item. Making something from nothing might be as close to true magic as we can get.

    Watch all you videos and enjoy them . I know it’s difficult sometimes but remember it’s called a pull saw for a reason. One should use a circular motion with the blade only engaging on the pull portion of the stroke. Engaging it on the pushing motion only bends the delicate teeth and dulls the saw. One mans opinion and may be ignored at will.

      Haha it is being pulled, it’s just a piece of knarly firewood being cut cross grain without proper support ;)

    Two things that might (should?) have been added about working with dry walnut: it smells pretty bad; and walnut dust is very toxic. It made me a bit nervous to watch you do this indoors. That said, walnut is beautiful-- but there are trade-offs.

    • @AnneofAllTrades
      @AnneofAllTrades  4 роки тому +1

      Two corrections to your comment that might (should?) be made is that this is fresh cut, green walnut, it smells wonderful, and working with hand tools, regardless of whether the wood is wet or dry produces shavings not dust.

      I'd love it if you stay tuned for the next few videos in this series about safety and proper knife cuts, the cuts I was using in this video are some of the safest, most controlled cuts available to carvers. We teach children not to cut towards themselves because they aren't likely to understand all the nuances of safety, but once you're more practiced, a whole world of other cutting options becomes very safely available.
