    Love this! Love the imperfect joinery, too! Because I have started getting into hand woodworking and my joinery is not perfect, and it works great anyway! Way better than screws and nail guns.

    Heirloom quality! What's really cool is if that gets handed down a few generations, there may be a few men standing around looking at it saying "they just don't make things like that anymore. It all comes pre-fab from a big box store." Hopefully someday people will comment on it being a nice antique piece! Pretty cool!

    Hey there my friend. I love this piece u just built in the video. Walnut is so beautiful; and when the right finish is put in it then it pops like something very special indeed. I thought u had split the tenon joint completely when u wee chiselling it but u saved it really nicely by hand sawing it.
    I wanted to ask a couple of questions if u have a moment to answer. I know u must be mad busy with work but I wanted to ask about that planes u used to cut those rebates in the side of the drawers??
    What is that plane called and do they come with different sizes of blades/cutters? It was fascinating as always watching ppl with the skills using hand tools only. I love to see this being done on YT BCOS MOST WOODWORKERS HAVE ALL THESE BIG MACHINES LIKE THE TABLE SAW OR THE JOINTER/THICKNESSER TO DO ALL THE WORK NOWADAYS.
    I think they cheat themselves out of learning the basic fundamentals of Joinery/Woodworking/Carpentry.
    I'm hoping to do some courses on Cabinet making and Joinery too in the next 12 months. I need to learn those Basic fundamentals of this trade before trying to build my own small local business. I want to have those skills to be able to fall back on.
    I only found I had a passion for woodworking during the later period of that bloody Pandemic which we're not allowed to speak about on here anymore. COVID 19 destroyed so many small to medium businesses all over the world. I saw so many go under while the big box stores made fortunes.
    I want to learn to use those hand tools bcos even without electricity u can always build furniture. U could light a candle in ur shop at night and carry on building.
    I'm really taking it back to a time when electricity wasn't invented. hahahahaha! I'm going off on a tangent here. Sorry bro. I didn't mean to do that in this comment. LOL

    • @catspawcustoms
      @catspawcustoms  Рік тому +2

      That’s a tricky question, since hand tools are a slippery slope. For flattening a board, I’d probably want a low angle jack and a #7 joiner, plus a #4 smoother to finish. I like the Veritas for the jack and joiner, but lie Nielsen is good too. Woodriver or vintage Stanley’s are also good.
