Mr. Pask, your videos are far too enjoyable... please don’t slice anymore body parts, I need you to keep coming up with more content! Very glad to hear that the damage was relatively minor. Take it from a guy who decided to fight a bandsaw with my index finger... recovering from tendon damage is no fun! My finger is still a major nuisance in my shop. Always getting in the way because it doesn’t behave like I want it to. Stay safe, and keep the great content coming!
Glad you're enjoying the videos Bryan! It's amazing how many comments I've received that tell of woodworking injuries, makes me feel very lucky with how minor mine turned out to be. :)
I was trying to come up with a method to drill tapered holes, figured I'd search it on youtube. Guess I shouldn't be surprised you posted a solution to this tricky business. I am surprised I never saw it before, as I've watched so many of your video's. Well done, and glad the accident didn't turn into something far worse. Amazing how something so innocuous could spell so much trouble. A very important reminder that We don't need power tools to do serious harm. Stay safe my friend.
Thank you for letting us learn from mistakes also, which are so inevitable when doing experimental projects! Hopefully you had speedy recovery from the hand injury.
The webbing! The webbing, Neil!!! 😵 Glad you were able to get stitches and avoid losing your thumb. Tendons aren’t so easy to fix. Too many accidental martyrs in woodworking. Loved the project vid, looking forward to the next. I hadn’t thought about reamers in a great while and it’s always interesting to see the different tools other folks use in their workflow.
Great video! I made a reamer about 10 years ago as a personal challenge to make a wooden spigot tap for a wood barrel. It turned out perfect. I made mine nearly identical to what you did in this video.
Thanks! There isn't any need but the main thing learned is not to grab the reamer from low down around the blade. :)

I am surprised you didn't run a screw or steel pin perpendicular through the tapered cone holding the blade. It is just sitting there without any support. It is a pitty you cut yourself in the process. Get well soon!
Thanks Gerado! The idea of the blade is to be loose so it self centres and is also easy to clear. Pinning it may work and I've thought about that but I think the dust and shavings would force there way in between the blade and kerf. Thats what happened on the original one I made (it wasn't pinned but it was driven in tight) and the blade ended up twisted and distorted. Also it needs to be removed to resharpen. :)
Here is a custom addition to this reamer that I made on my reamer, I luv to see you make and try for yourself. My reamer was gifted to me yrs ago but it bugged me a bit that when reaming the tool goes in like a screw when turning which the point I guess but sometimes I didnt want to ream any bigger. So I added 1/8" deep kerfs down the length about, for me was 1/8" apart. That I could placed different sized "washers" cut open like letter " C ", like a snap ring, with inside cut matching various girths of the reamer, that snap off and on as needed to set the Depth of the Reamer for specific mortise girth to match whatever size Dowl I needed to use.. Mine was a single blade though, but, you could just cut 1/8" notches at wider intervals for matching 3 or 4 set girths most commonly used by yourself so not to weaken a blade. Like the teeth side I wld notch desired sizes. Then add the clip as needed
Thank goodness your hand isn’t any worse than it is now. You were lucky. I have had 2 similar cases of cutting my hand but mine was with the skill saw. Your build is really amazing Pask. All of your videos are great to wat h because you always pay close attention to details. Very unique tool also. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to the other part of the build.
Bloody hell Neil! So much toe-curling when you described your incident! Glad it wasn't more serious. Thanks for all the informative videos, including this one.
No worries Alan! The little accident happened so fast that it didn't seem too bad but when I think about it, it does sound toe curling. It's slowing me down a little but not stopping me and it's on the mend! :)
Might want to consider 1) installing a somewhat thicker handle so there's less likelihood of breaking one. That'll weaken the top of the reamer though, so you would probably want to 2) reinforce the reamer head above and below the handle bore with a few wraps of wire.
I'm starting to get into green woodworking, and this was just what I needed. I'm trying a modified design with M6 bolts holding the two halves together (I turned as a pair double-sided taped together, rather than sawing a slot for the blade). A dremel with a diamond blade can easily cut slots for the bolts in a saw blade, and a carbide rasp can be used to refine it. I did a similar cut on my left thumb web while carving. I remember the sound of the nurse sopping up the blood from the floor while the doctor was poking around after anaesthetizing the area. It only really hurt when they pulled the stitches out. Let's be careful out there.
I tend to find myself queasy at the moment you were showing the bandaged hand . My dad on 2 seperate occasions managed to take off a thumb each time , my brother took off 3 fingers in 1 single swipe . I on the other hand ( non pun , well yeah maybe a small one intended ) have all my digets intact. I paid attention in shop class . Nice handy tool you've created , now I'm awaiting they next post . Stay indoors, stay healthy .
My father always said "Don't remove waste from the lathe while it is turning". It is a mantra that he recited every time I saw him at the lathe. BUT.. age and familiarity breeds contempt; in all of us who work with our hands. I visited his home one weekend, he had a big bandage about his fingers and hand. "What happened?", I asked. He told me that he was making lurers from stainless steel and the waste was building up about the cutter and he decided to 'REMOVE the waste' by picking it off the lathe with his fingers. The waste wrapped around the spinning work and around his fingers and pulled his hand into the job. Stainless steel is hard and sharp but fortunately brittle and broke off when it reached the bone in his fingers, releasing his hand. Fortunately, he did no permanent damage to his fingers or hand. If one works long enough with tools you will likely to create your own scenario. This twice, act once..
I realize I'm commenting on an older video but being a subscriber for only a couple of weeks I'm looking at videos from across the board time-wise. That second version which we see at 8:44 looks like it's a way more appropriate material for this tool. I'm sorry you injured yourself working that out but glad it wasn't as serious as it might have been. I knew there was an artery in that spot because I managed to cut mine many years ago. It actually squirts and is quite scary looking but I healed completely too so all's well that ends well, I suppose.
Will the taper angle of a barrel bung reamer be good for the sockets on a shave horse etc? I have a bung reamer that I plan to use to make a tenon cutter and use the tenon cutter to make a wooden reamer. I don't understand how the angle of a taper cutter is described. 6 degrees for the total angle of the taper or 6 degrees for each side of a drawing to make a total of 12 degrees for the taper. I made a 1 1/2 inch dowel cutter following your instructions. Thanks.
Get well first or pet peeve rant first??? Decisions, decisions. Ok, I'll start by hoping you heal up completely. You should be a healed Neil ;-D. Now, for my silly rant - NO, you will not see me in your next video or probably EVER. It would make eminent sense to simply say "Till next time" or even "You'll see me right here next time on Pask Makes" Ok EOR (end of rant) In the words of Martin Brundle, "Great stuff" and also "Brilliant". BTW Paskin is Yiddishized Hebrew for "To give a legal decision" in Jewish law" Any chance there were great Rabbis in your ancestry?
Thanks very much! No worries about the rant, however, I do see you guys, here in the comment section. That's what is great about youtube, the interaction. I've had a few comments about my name but haven't heard that before, thanks for that. I know very little about my ancestry so I would have no idea! :)
I suppose you could even use a fine tooth handheld drywall jabsaw blade as well. Some of them already come with a tapered angle to a point such as the Milwaukee and the Goldblatt.
Several useful tips - thanks. I already made \ tapered reamer, from ash & an old hacksaw blade, without a lathe, using instead a draw-knife & shave-horse. - not as refined as yours but works ok.
As usual your videos are great. I wanted to tell you that thanks to your advice and your aim, I realized the "drawers" for my Ford Ranger pickup. Thank you
As allways - great video! i have 2 questions: 1- why don't you pin the saw blade to the handle? 2- why don't you mount it on a hand drill? Take care and work safe!
Thanks Avrahami! Pinning the blade is something I thought of doing but isn't actually required. The concern would be if the shavings/dust get forced between the blade and the saw kerf then you wouldn't be able to clear it quickly.Also iIt wouldn't work in a drill as more control is needed not speed. :)
Take it from someone who is living it... if you cut a tendon, there is a good chance you will lose functionality permanently. Glad to hear it's just an incidental cut... hope it's irregular, and that you're not on a first name basis with the urgent care folks like I am. :D
Very nice, it does seem like it would be a bit easier to use if the handles were a tad longer, a few cm on either side would give you a bit more 'umph' when turning the reamer as it looks like quite a shoulder workout to start with, id probably add some grip tape too if making one myself, thats not a criticism though as it seems yours works for you. I hope the hand heals soon and im looking forward to the second part.
i stuck a 28mm ( 1 1/3 “? ) chisel up there once so i know what a mess it makes,still have limited movement with the thumb......glad to see you didn’t hit anything vital because from experience i can tell “woodworking suck with a useless thumb” hahahaha and we need a lot more of your videos so ....
Safety first Pask - Just wanted to say cheers its a great vid and thanks for telling us about your injury, it means we wont all make the same mistake I don't have a wood lathe, but i reckon might use the leg of my old hardwood table,
I am really sorry that you got hurt. Maybe it's a good thing I don't follow Instagram. I truly wanted to tell you that's an awesome tool that could be quite useful. Thank you very much for the tips and tricks! Many blessings to you.
Great video, and such a great idea! Those reamers look so good you could consider it art. I hope that your hand heals asap, but I'm glad it wasn't a major accident. Looking forward to the next video.
I once knew a carpenter who was fond of saying "You're not actually a carpenter until you've run a finger through your saw. And, if you run enough fingers through your saw, you won't be a carpenter any longer." Heal up soon and well, Neil!
The idea of the blade is to be loose so it self centres and is also easy to clear. Pinning it may work and I've thought about that but I think the dust and shavings would force there way in between the blade and kerf. Thats what happened on the original one I made (it wasn't pinned but it was driven in tight) and the blade ended up twisted and distorted. Also it needs to be removed to resharpen. :)
Bloody hell mate, you were lucky....the dangers of woodworking hey!! Just thinking about what happened, could you not put a dowel/s along the length through the sides and blade??… would stop any accidents in the future....I’ll be awaiting the next instalment hoping not to see any bandages on the other hand!!… LOL keep smiling my friend, it can only get better 👍🏼😊😉
Thanks Marc! The blade needs to come back out for sharpening and a pin isn't needed for the operation of the tool. The main thing is not to wrap your hands around the blade when removing it! ;)
¡¡¡ Excelente...!!! -- Muy buena idea para ampliar las perforaciones, (lamento que haya sufrido un accidente al sacar la herramienta de un hoyo... espero que usted recupere satisfactoriamente el accionamiento de su mano).... muchas gracias por las recomendaciones. Saludos cordiales desde Europa.
Don't do that. Been lucky in that I've had some cuts that were so very close to severing tendons or whatnot. A stab to the web once, two cuts on the back of my right thumb (I'm left-handed), one was a gutted body on a race car, and I saw the tendon with a knick in it, and the second was a razor knife that hit me so hard the hit hurt. Then a realized it was an open blade, took a look and again the tendon was visible (the scars cross in a v). These too are things I disrecommend. Glad you should be fine right quick.
I wouldn't say that. I'm just a clumsy s.o.b. who has managed to not get stitches even though a few times I probably should have. The only Doc's visit I required was the cat bite on my knuckle, and that was for antibiotics.
I like the rugh finish the teeth leave with concerns to glueing but I would appreciate a look on the other side of the hole you made do you get a smooth exit or do you need to wedge the ends to hide the scratches?
The scratches are minimal! Because the blade is centred the bevelled side smoothes out most of the scratches (not completely). The opposite side of the hole is fine, not rough! :)
Mr. Pask, your videos are far too enjoyable... please don’t slice anymore body parts, I need you to keep coming up with more content!
Very glad to hear that the damage was relatively minor. Take it from a guy who decided to fight a bandsaw with my index finger... recovering from tendon damage is no fun! My finger is still a major nuisance in my shop. Always getting in the way because it doesn’t behave like I want it to.

Love the honesty of these videos. Love that he doesn't shy away from his mistakes and pretend that it went perfectly first time.
Sent shivers down my spine thinking of that blade slicing your hand. Glad we have the opportunity to learn before such a disaster. Quick healing...
Well I guess I can add a like since you went and bled for the project. Lol
Sweat and tears as well?
A slice and a pint?
Stay safe friend. I love your videos, some of the best on UA-cam. Love that your style is unique. You're not a UA-cam copycat.
Thanks very much! :)
Thank you for letting us learn from mistakes also, which are so inevitable when doing experimental projects! Hopefully you had speedy recovery from the hand injury.
The webbing! The webbing, Neil!!! 😵 Glad you were able to get stitches and avoid losing your thumb. Tendons aren’t so easy to fix. Too many accidental martyrs in woodworking.
Loved the project vid, looking forward to the next. I hadn’t thought about reamers in a great while and it’s always interesting to see the different tools other folks use in their workflow.
PS getting the doctor’s “Okay” to keep woodworking is one thing... but how’d you convince the boss at home? 😂
Yes, I was very lucky! Glad you enjoyed it Hakeem! :)
Great video! I made a reamer about 10 years ago as a personal challenge to make a wooden spigot tap for a wood barrel. It turned out perfect. I made mine nearly identical to what you did in this video.
Sorry about your hand. What if you drill a hole towards the top and put a dowel through the blade so it doesn’t come out ? Just an idea
Thanks! There isn't any need but the main thing learned is not to grab the reamer from low down around the blade. :)
I am surprised you didn't run a screw or steel pin perpendicular through the tapered cone holding the blade. It is just sitting there without any support. It is a pitty you cut yourself in the process. Get well soon!

Thats what happened on the original one I made (it wasn't pinned but it was driven in tight) and the blade ended up twisted and distorted. Also it needs to be removed to resharpen. :)
Won't a beefier piece of steel make for a better cutting experience? Like instead of a hand saw blade use a hand plane blade or circular saw blade?
You could certainly try that but there isn't any need as this works fine. It uses a scraping action rather than a cutting action. :)
Here is a custom addition to this reamer that I made on my reamer, I luv to see you make and try for yourself.
My reamer was gifted to me yrs ago but it bugged me a bit that when reaming the tool goes in like a screw when turning which the point I guess but sometimes I didnt want to ream any bigger.

awesome video! i did a tendon job on my big toe 5 years ago, and it still isn't right! glad you missed yours!
Thank you! :)
Whats the biggest diameter that can be bored...any limit? Three inches possible? Anyone here tried?
No idea, but it would be interesting to see! I don't see why it wouldn't work. :)
Highlight of my day a when a PASK makes notification pops up. Heal up well Neil.
Thanks very much Barry! :)
Love your work Neil
Cuts happen so fast, hope it heals quickly. I’m looking at my bandsaw modified thumb nail as I type this.
:)
Thanks! Yes it happened fast, looking back I can't believe I did it! :)
interesting tool
sorry you cut your hand, but that is a really unique reamer. Great job explaining that one.
Thanks Bruce! :)

Wat billy said
wow thank gawd it was worst eh? Take care my friend. We ALL have had a close one :)
"...and, it made a bit of a mess...."
Indeed, aye.

Nice video. Sorry to hear about your hand! Hope it's all better and you can use it normally. SAFETY FIRST!!
Good job
Nice.
All the best for a speedy recovery Neil - I'll have a cold one (or three) for you : )
Cheers mate! :)

The groves left by the teeth would leave a bit more room for glue (if using glue). I know this is few years old now, but I hope your hand healed well.
I suppose you could even use a fine tooth handheld drywall jabsaw blade as well. Some of them already come with a tapered angle to a point such as the Milwaukee and the Goldblatt.
Several useful tips - thanks. I already made \ tapered reamer, from ash & an old hacksaw blade, without a lathe, using instead a draw-knife & shave-horse. - not as refined as yours but works ok.
No worries Tony! Fair play to you for making one without a lathe. I knew it was possible but would take some skill and accuracy. :)
As usual your videos are great. I wanted to tell you that thanks to your advice and your aim, I realized the "drawers" for my Ford Ranger pickup. Thank you
No worries Frederic! :)
geez, glad you're OK. Hope your hand is fully healed and back to normal soon!
Nice job on the reamer Neil but be careful my friend you don't want to have to rename your Channel Neil's nine-digit wonders LOL
Haha! Thanks Opa! :)
verry good job sir
I am fascinated by your work and I enjoy it when I look at you
My wife always says it isn't a project until I bleed. Glad it was only minor!
Poor guy! You got to hate it when doing what you love ruins your day (or month)
Sir, why did you use the burnisher to put a burr on the blade? Wouldn't a clean edge work better?
Please be safe in the shop. I'm glad you were not permanently injured. Get well soon.
Thanks for sharing how you got hurt. That may keep others from getting hurt. It hurts me to see you hurt. I think this is true for many. Great build.
As allways - great video!
i have 2 questions:
1- why don't you pin the saw blade to the handle?
2- why don't you mount it on a hand drill?
Take care and work safe!
Thanks Avrahami! Pinning the blade is something I thought of doing but isn't actually required. The concern would be if the shavings/dust get forced between the blade and the saw kerf then you wouldn't be able to clear it quickly.Also iIt wouldn't work in a drill as more control is needed not speed. :)
Didn't think of that.
Can't wait for the next part!
hola un Crack total buen video #Excelente!
Take it from someone who is living it... if you cut a tendon, there is a good chance you will lose functionality permanently. Glad to hear it's just an incidental cut... hope it's irregular, and that you're not on a first name basis with the urgent care folks like I am. :D
All these stories are making me feel very lucky indeed! :)
Anyone recommandations on interesting reads about reamers, and there joinery?
Oops !bloody mess has a much more accurate meaning in this case.lol
just buy a $10 reamer.haha
but think of the time and money you saved by making it yourself and not buying it
Very nice, it does seem like it would be a bit easier to use if the handles were a tad longer, a few cm on either side would give you a bit more 'umph' when turning the reamer as it looks like quite a shoulder workout to start with, id probably add some grip tape too if making one myself, thats not a criticism though as it seems yours works for you.
I hope the hand heals soon and im looking forward to the second part.
Thanks Daniel! I find there is plenty of leverage but making the handles longer would certainly make it even easier. :)
i stuck a 28mm ( 1 1/3 “? ) chisel up there once so i know what a mess it makes,still have limited movement with the thumb......glad to see you didn’t hit anything vital because from experience i can tell “woodworking suck with a useless thumb” hahahaha and we need a lot more of your videos so ....
Wow! That doesn't sound good! :)
1:52 Looks like part of your logo.
Yes it does! :D
👍👍👍
but what is this tool for? I am Brazilian and I have never seen her!
Good job, glad you were not hurt worse.
Safety first Pask - Just wanted to say cheers its a great vid and thanks for telling us about your injury, it means we wont all make the same mistake
I don't have a wood lathe, but i reckon might use the leg of my old hardwood table,
Nice new tool, sorry about the hand.
Sorry for the Injury Neil.The problem with very sharp hand tools is they cut skin very well. Great project as usual.
Thanks Joe! :)
Great job mate! And again I’m glad you’re healing quick😊👍
Thanks very much Jed! :)
a huge pencil sharpener and a reverse pencil sharpener
With pleasure I watch all your videos. Good luck to you.
Best Wishes for a speedy recovery from Maryland, USA
The woodworking gods like a good blood sacrifice now and then. Cheers for the idea.
Cheers for the idea of the sacrifice? 😁
Thanks for sharing your mistakes. It helps the learning process.
No worries Brian! :)
Very interesting tool
Accidents do not happen, are provoked. Improvements to you.
Fantastic! Very useful, thanks!
I am really sorry that you got hurt. Maybe it's a good thing I don't follow Instagram. I truly wanted to tell you that's an awesome tool that could be quite useful. Thank you very much for the tips and tricks! Many blessings to you.
Thank you very much Tracy! It's on the mend but I think it's going to be sore for a while yet! :)
So, in the US, your trip to the hospital could have bought 10 of these. Sometimes you have to way out the advantage of DIY...
Hence why my wife (yeah i said it) is making me buy a SawStop :)
Great video, and such a great idea! Those reamers look so good you could consider it art.
I hope that your hand heals asap, but I'm glad it wasn't a major accident. Looking forward to the next video.
Thank you! :)
Very well done, great video thanks!
I once knew a carpenter who was fond of saying "You're not actually a carpenter until you've run a finger through your saw. And, if you run enough fingers through your saw, you won't be a carpenter any longer." Heal up soon and well, Neil!
Haha! Thanks Shawn! :)
sweet
Becareful man... Tools can cut anything,...
But nice job.
Keep up
It appears that you didn't fix (glue or pin) the blade to the wood body. Why not?
The idea of the blade is to be loose so it self centres and is also easy to clear. Pinning it may work and I've thought about that but I think the dust and shavings would force there way in between the blade and kerf. Thats what happened on the original one I made (it wasn't pinned but it was driven in tight) and the blade ended up twisted and distorted. Also it needs to be removed to resharpen. :)
Great video. Thanks for sharing. : )
Bloody hell mate, you were lucky....the dangers of woodworking hey!!
Just thinking about what happened, could you not put a dowel/s along the length through the sides and blade??… would stop any accidents in the future....I’ll be awaiting the next instalment hoping not to see any bandages on the other hand!!… LOL
keep smiling my friend, it can only get better 👍🏼😊😉
Thanks Marc! The blade needs to come back out for sharpening and a pin isn't needed for the operation of the tool. The main thing is not to wrap your hands around the blade when removing it! ;)
Pask Makes ah yes, forgot about that...though a movable pin could still help....hope the Purlicue is healing well 👍🏼😊
Would ash work to make this tool? I have a ton of it...
Neal, excellent idea. This is the first I've ever heard of one of these...new creation or an improvement over the old? Keep making that dust buddy!
Thanks Rob! :)
¡¡¡ Excelente...!!! -- Muy buena idea para ampliar las perforaciones, (lamento que haya sufrido un accidente al sacar la herramienta de un hoyo... espero que usted recupere satisfactoriamente el accionamiento de su mano).... muchas gracias por las recomendaciones. Saludos cordiales desde Europa.
Muchas gracias! :)
Don't do that.
Been lucky in that I've had some cuts that were so very close to severing tendons or whatnot. A stab to the web once, two cuts on the back of my right thumb (I'm left-handed), one was a gutted body on a race car, and I saw the tendon with a knick in it, and the second was a razor knife that hit me so hard the hit hurt. Then a realized it was an open blade, took a look and again the tendon was visible (the scars cross in a v).
These too are things I disrecommend.
Glad you should be fine right quick.
Oh wow! Makes my little mishap seem like nothing! ;)
I wouldn't say that. I'm just a clumsy s.o.b. who has managed to not get stitches even though a few times I probably should have.
The only Doc's visit I required was the cat bite on my knuckle, and that was for antibiotics.
I always thought these were called bunghole reamers. They were used by coopers mostly weren't they?
wat kinda lathe is that
I think it's a Sherwood, quite basic but does what I need! :)
do you know what modle and where you got it from
I bought it in a private sale and I'm unsure of the model! :)
Interesting tool! Sorry you got hurt! Thank you.
Very nice work mate and an enjoyable video
I like the rugh finish the teeth leave with concerns to glueing but I would appreciate a look on the other side of the hole you made do you get a smooth exit or do you need to wedge the ends to hide the scratches?
The scratches are minimal! Because the blade is centred the bevelled side smoothes out most of the scratches (not completely). The opposite side of the hole is fine, not rough! :)
Gesh be careful man. Good job though.
Nice old tool. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I hope the hand will heal quickly.❗
Great video and hope you heals quickly. Things like that can happen too fast!
Do you have footage of the injury?😧
1:54 wait you just made a keyhole saw!
I'm glad your alright. Close one though.
Yikes! I hope you’re OK now.
