If you place a wooden peg in one of the corners, you can rotate your project piece 1/4 turn and set it against the peg, creating even more resistance and tightening the rope much more. Great stuff, as usual Dave.
Hi I am a Swedish spoon maker an i have teach child to carving spoon and butter knife. And i always use green wood therefore its softer. And I always split a log in quarters fore make a spoon Best regard Bo Carlberg
That's great. I've been in need of a shave horse for quite some time but had neither space nor lumber to build one. This seems like a fast and easy alternative - at least for the beginner. I love it.
Dave, I think this has been one of my most used videos. I made a vise that I use here in Japan and I made one to use when I was back home in Ohio. I've recommended this video several times on the Morakniv Fans Facebook page. It is indispensable for carving and at the very least gets your hands & fingers out of harms way!
The great thing about a lap vice, especially if you are teaching kids to carve, is that you can use your tools with your off hand out of the path of travel of the blade greatly reducing the likelihood of cuts/accidents. I have taught people to carve spoons and usually spend at least 20% of the instruction time at the start talking about how not to hold the spoon in ways that leave your off hand exposed to slips of the blade and nasty cuts! Thanks for another great video!
As soon as the camera changed so that I saw the plank and the rope my mind figured it out in a couple of seconds before you explained it and I can't believe I hadn't thought of that with all of the hobby wood carving that I've done. Thanks a ton, Dave!
Outstanding information and great insight inspiring genuine and genius minds bringing invaluable knowledge and ideas to the carving community- thank you 😊 so much for taking the time to keep supporting
If you can get surgical tube at the hardware store it'll make it hold a little better. Probably not worth buying an entire package but it's not like it isn't good for slingshots, compression dressing (do your own research on that one), or other projects, you could make your own clamps with it and whatnot. Very versatile material.
very cool Dave. Any chance of you doing a quick video on the vice you built on the lumber Jack episode that aired tonight? Loving the show. keep up the good work!
Now let's see a craved Swedish meatball maker. Hard part will be the 90 degree twist from hand hold to bowls. A good thinking or pipeweed smoking problem.
