I’m an American seamstress watching an Irish woodworker on UA-cam while I work on altering a qi pao for my sister’s wedding. I love how technology allows us a window into life across the world!!
That's the Celtic Handyman within us all calling you to enjoy the simple pleasures, like nice clean tools, and a language without words for "yes" and "no".
@@EchoLog such a sweet life is hard on a man like me, You see I've have grown up in Oregon I'm half city half redneck but as white as a Scotsman though the Irish blood in any of us will burn hotter than a cross on a Sunday morning just under beam of sunlight, burning glory into the fresh green.
Thank you for the videos. As someone in their late 20's and just barely getting into hand tool woodworking, it's nice to see that there's relatively fresh faces out there making content. Your stuff is especially down to earth and relaxing. A nice change of pace between seeing Rex and James "argue" about shooting boards and who's more bald. Keep up the good work, and I'd love to see more tool restorations, and other workshop related projects.
I love learning the history of things, like explaining the tool that curls the wood to use as an old-timey match. I’m a history geek, so that’s really cool to me
this brings me back to the days of working in the tool barn with my grandfather. He'd make each one of us grandkids build something on our own each summer we visited. great stuff!
Accidentally discovered your videos, and I am just charmed. I am just astounded by what you know about woodworking. And being a half Irish American cannot get enough of that accent.
Watching you remove that rust made me remember an old farmer’s recipe for rust remover that works better than anything else I’ve used: 1 Part feed molasses to 9 parts water and let it ferment in a bucket out in the sun with a loose fitting lid. The smellier it gets, the better it works, so they say.
Seeing that 'match' plane made me smile and remember an old cabinet maker I knew before he passed on. Man must have been in his sixties at the time and that was near thirty years ago. But anyway, he had one similar that made curled transfer 'matches' that his dad gave to him. It turned out it was handmade by his great great grandfather way back when, and those transfer matches at the time it, at least as he was told, were sold in bundles of fifty for a half penny. Almost all of his oldest tools were hand made and passed generation to generation until actual manufacturing made them cheaper, but even then. his "newest" tool was ninety years old and it was a odd side left hand screw auger bit that was one and three eighths inch. I think his son is still in the business but darn if I can find 'em again.
For my job I make all sorts of custom interiors, from kitchens to walk in closets, wardrobes, bathroom cabinets and much more. All with cnc and other modern machines. Yet i feel a connection to all these old tools and have restored some chisels and hammers myself, some of which i use for my work now. It feels great to use an old tool that has made many beautiful things in it's life. That I restored them myself is the cherry on top. Awesome work Eoin!
Your videos showed me just how easy it is to restore old tools and it inspired me to restore a few old Winchester 1800’s hewing hatchets and a few draw knifes I got from my grandma and they look like new now
A simple alternative to lapping fluid is just water as all it does is carry the meta shavings out of the space between diamonds. Also too much pressure will destroy the diamond stones, don't ask how I know this😂. Nice pole lathe. Love renovation of all useable tools. Nice one.
The old ways the best way sometimes that's why old stuff sticks around for the way it does they make stuff to fall apart now just so you have to buy another one greedy bastards
Good restoration lad! A substitute to the lapping fluid is just a different brand I’ve heard good things of which is HoneRite gold. I’ve just been getting a lathe myself so I’m in for making some plane handles for my collection, as I prefer the lower wider knobs. Love the long form videos much more I must admit 😁
Cool. I am learning to get a Certificate two in Cabinet Making and your videos and shorts kinda help me. Even if it’s general woodworking I still like it.
I have my great father’s old slicks and chisels also adzes. I put a wax spray on them years ago and they still rusted a bit in a climate controlled room. Need to find a good product to keep them from rusting.
I grew up watching a pbs show called “the woodwright’s shop”. You may be able to draw some inspiration from Roy. Possibly even resurrect some of his long forgotten contraptions. Cheers
Just throwing this out there. For those short on time. These is a bio safe product called rust eze. It's pretty good. Just soak metal for a few hours and it will melt the rust... Also, can be filtered and reused. And it can go down the sink.
When you used the pole lathe I could hear the master turner going "what, do you think sandpaper grows on trees? Use your tool to cut not chip the wood." I used to apprentice at a living history village from the 1800s and one of the master carpenters taught classes on the spring pole. To graduate the class you had to turn 4 legs for a chair and have them be an exact duplicate of each other - its a lot harder then it sounds. In addition they went after you for using sandpaper - the time period of the village sandpaper was more then a days wage.
after watchin some of your videos i can confidently say that i only understand about 75% of what you say. and i LOVE it lol keep up the fantastic work you wonderful man
Nothing more than water in a spray bottle needed on any diamond stone as a lubricant. Stropping on leather bicarbonate soda mixed with a little chalk dust is the magic that works purfect found in most homes, works purfect & cheap.
Dear Eoin, I love your tutorials. It makes me wanna do stuff myself. Would it be possible for you to make a hand saw restoration tutorial? What Manufacturers Handsaws to look for, or how to identify sharpable handsaws and how to sharpen the teeth? Would you recommend it to a beginner with some knife sharpening experience and limited experience with file?
You remind me of an old TV show called the Red Green Show. You look/act like the main character, only younger. Keep up the amazing vids, though id love to see more long form vids
an old joiner who was an apprentice at age 13 you helped build the speakers chair in the australian parliament house from a spar from Nelson's ship the victory told me a few things for you today two on your workbench put 2 inch by 3/4 inch strip of timber on the edge away from you for the full length this protects the edge of your plane which is turned on its edge so not flat. For chisels when doing the bevel oil the stone pivot the edge pull the oil back tilt the edge when oil appears as a thin strip your are at the right angle and of yes move the chisel back and forward not just back. Finally wood you burn timber you make things out of and I love your accent and my mothers family are Ryan's from Tipperary good luck and god bless.
I’ve just bought a load of old tools (I’m a mechanic not a woodworker) and in the box is a load of old chisels and a record No.4 plane that I’m thinking about restoring.
Glad to see a new video. what a great way to kick off the weekend. Yo is that thing where you take the plan or whatever and make see thru strips of wood real? Like from tik tok and stuff where they shave down a board and they end up with a transparent sheet of wood?
If only there were other sources, other places you could look for information on the internet. But alas, we have only this single UA-cam channel to work with.
hi, really enjoying your channel and picking-up tips when doing wood working etc.i heard you mention about getting more lapping fluid for the diamond plates on your jig.i follow another guy on yt called paul sellers.he uses auto windscreen spray as a lubricant when sharpening on diamond plates.a cheap and readily available substitute for an expensive lapping fluid.
Hey eoin, love the videos. One concern tho. Those liquids you use, sometimes they're carcinogenic. Definitely would recommend a brush or gloves. Take care of yourself brother.
As someone who has recently started sharpening shisels, the free hand sharpening resembled one of the things i also do but hate, not keeping the elbows level through the entire motion good vid tho ill try wd40 to remove rust

This man is saving UA-cam one broken tool at a time.
He's bringin back the old spirit this platform had definitely
So true 100%

We should vote this man president
And doing a lovely job of it, too! 😅

I also love to see anyone passionate about a craft 🥰
What a wonderful comment!
This man's enthusiasm is so intoxicating not only do I start speaking with an accent but I also sound more enthusiastic?!? I... Ah.. SUBSCRIBED

I think rex is more bald, just look at the shine!

I’ve also seen all your shorts, so I’m watching the videos now
made me happy - thanks - redoing tools is just as rewarding as doing something with them.
That lathe is so cool, I never thought about how they did these things in the days before industrialization, you're so amazing!

I loved the spill plane. Never seen one of those before but it makes perfect sense.

Hes the only peron on youtube with 380 thounds subs that doent have 11 ads per video. I LOVE HIM
I saw one short by you and I can’t stop watching, always wanted to get into woodworking

I usually like to watch videos while I am "multi-tasking," but I simply can not do that with your videos. Kudos sir❤
And thank you
Your videos showed me just how easy it is to restore old tools and it inspired me to restore a few old Winchester 1800’s hewing hatchets and a few draw knifes I got from my grandma and they look like new now
So impressed with the lathe, inspired to try and make one down the road. Really great video! 👍👍
I love the patina you get on good quality old steel.
You're a handy chap, Eon! Lovely to see the restoration of the old tools.
Your motivation with tools astound me.
A simple alternative to lapping fluid is just water as all it does is carry the meta shavings out of the space between diamonds. Also too much pressure will destroy the diamond stones, don't ask how I know this😂. Nice pole lathe. Love renovation of all useable tools. Nice one.
You and I would get along ridiculously well. Everybody thinks I'm nuts for doing things the hard way.
The old ways the best way sometimes that's why old stuff sticks around for the way it does they make stuff to fall apart now just so you have to buy another one greedy bastards
Your videos always gives me soo good vibes, thank you for this content. UA-cam need more people like you!
Eoin, did you ever think that cleaning up an old tool, that has own knowledge, that now it will get more knowledge. Thanks for cleaning up that.
Honestly just found your channel got say its amazingly wholesome to watch you restore all these tools.
Wait, a collapsible timber frame tent?!?! You have to do a video on that design! Please!!
I’m still in my youth, but you are doing a great job at raising a future carpenter (as a hobby, my career path lies in chemistry)
this man is doing everything i dreamed of anytips for a beginner
Love to have what you have looks like a great life in the countryside no distractions probably some local fishery’s as well
Good restoration lad! A substitute to the lapping fluid is just a different brand I’ve heard good things of which is HoneRite gold.

absolutely love your context brotha!! keep it up! cheers from USA 🇺🇸
What my ears heard: "I was digging through a pile of old tools"
What my brain heard: "I was visiting one of my many vacation properties"
I had never seen a manual lathe before. Just imagine, pre industrialization, being the guy that comes up with that.
At least 3,000 years old. There was never a time people weren't clever at making tools.
I think you might be my favorite DIY guy on youtube. Cheers!
Cool. I am learning to get a Certificate two in Cabinet Making and your videos and shorts kinda help me. Even if it’s general woodworking I still like it.
He even pspspspspsps’s the cat with an accent. Love it.

Great job cheers from NY usa
These videos are grand fun to watch
At 9:30 I like the way you drove the handle onto the blade - not like I've seen a lot of guys do it by hitting the handle with the blade in free air.
370k subscribers, dude. Great job, and as always excellent content. Keep up the great work!

Love it lad. Good work. Thank you.

You mate are fucking infectious can't stop watching your videos
#respect
love your work!
Very nice. Thanks for sharing.
Enjoy your back bevel!!
Absolutely fantastic!!!
Let’s talk about that work bench ! I need to build one like that.
Use dish soap and water in a pray bottle. That's why I use. And it work very well.

Glass cleaner is a good replacement for lapping fluid. I picked that up watching other sharpening clips
Thanks for the tip.

Lynsey Doyle 😂
Take da timber down and lay it flat it will bow like that sure good work ma man

Keep 'em coming.....these are good vids./ Info.
Great video!!!!
Great video
Very cool

Haven't watched yet but I feel like WDfarty is involved
I would love to see a video of you assembling that takedown tent frame. And maybe a build video
Thank you. Very helpful
She works, she shaves, she cooks, what more could you want
She doesn't talk back? 🙂
Just wondering.Are ya still moving into the old stone building
❤I was wondering the same thing and your comment came up first!
That cat looks like it’s spend a lifetime at sea.
I’ve just bought a load of old tools (I’m a mechanic not a woodworker) and in the box is a load of old chisels and a record No.4 plane that I’m thinking about restoring.
I'll buy them 😂
❤your videos!
That tent is interesting, can you please show us more of that?
That was grand , thank you,
loved this
Great video! when are you going to do a live stream next? I always miss them.
Sunday night is the plan
@@EoinReardon Thanks! I try to be on there!
At this point WD-40 owes this man money 😂
Bloody hell, mpower sharping station £175.. .. good video by the way.
Glad to see a new video. what a great way to kick off the weekend. Yo is that thing where you take the plan or whatever and make see thru strips of wood real? Like from tik tok and stuff where they shave down a board and they end up with a transparent sheet of wood?
When you use those diamond stones for heavy removal, use some oil or WD-40
@Eoin Reardon that’s a nice piece of kit that you have to sharpen your tools.😊. Where did you get it from please?
love the videos
good job
You have to show us how to make a pole lathe please please please 🙏
He has a video of him making it

What kind of sharper is that? And where do I get one?
Love it.
I think I've found my new barber
ok. the self made woodturning device was the shit!
I love your program but one thing I find difficult with some tubers is that I get dizzy, carsick when the camera is moved around too quickly.
Put a little epoxy with metal powder inside that pit it works wonders.
Been having a little crack at this, what size hole do you drill in the handle my friend?
Hey eoin, love the videos. One concern tho. Those liquids you use, sometimes they're carcinogenic. Definitely would recommend a brush or gloves. Take care of yourself brother.
As someone who has recently started sharpening shisels, the free hand sharpening resembled one of the things i also do but hate, not keeping the elbows level through the entire motion good vid tho ill try wd40 to remove rust
Is there any way to rescue a chisel tip is ragged from rust eating it away? Just sand it until it's square as you did here?
I did done crack a replacement handle, think it was my 3rd turning.
This video was a while ago, what are your thoughts on the diamond sharpeners brother?
