Respectfully that isn't going to do much if at all to a hardened blade. The amount is negligible. I watched many big names like Paul Sellers and he doesn't. It's sort of like the wives tale of don't place your hand plane sole down. If that's going to damage your blade quickly,which you are using to attack the wood, your blade is either terrible or very dull. Plus I sharpen mine as soon as I think it's getting dull. I appreciate the comment though. I do like hearing other people's opinions. Thanks. As a matter of fact I'm going to pin this comment because I want to hear other people's opinions, not to start any nonsense. Just want to convey the reason.
@@Juan-hr7ol I want to compliment you on how you replied to this valuable comment, and how you pinned it. You know how to make internet a nice place to be. I subscribe to your channel (after posting this message)! And I leave the file on the workpiece even when filing metal. It helps a bit in removing the filings and I don't think it dulls the file in a noticeable way. But I put my planes alwas on their side or on soft material.
I very much appreciate your compliment. I don't want to argue with anyone. That's not why I do these videos. I do it because I love woodworking. I know I'm not the best but I'm always trying to get better and I'm willing to listen if someone else has a good idea or recommendation and is respectful. . I know there are woodworkers that watch these videos of all skill levels and I just hope maybe I can help a few out there or inspire some to make whatever they want with their own hands without fear of being judged. Thanks again!
There is a video by fireball tool where he files thousands of times without lifting the file, and examines the results, if you want to realize your old wives tale is unfortunately wrong.
@deadlata9767 Interesting. I like videos like that. A long time ago I watched a video dealing with,does wood type matter when it comes to tone on electric guitars. Same outcome that destroyed another wives tale. They say some of those tales just seem to become something people believe after it's been repeated so many times. They don't question them.
Very nice!ly done Never seen that. Skill is incremental, the important thing is to start the journey, observe and listen, except for few skilled trades there are no formal apprenticeship programs today, and if you step out of your specialty you are starting at the bottom again . For many people a UA-cam video is the first introduction to a whole new world, thank you for posting this.
You are definitely welcome! I myself wish they had some kind of woodworking program around here or that I even knew someone experienced that could teach me but unfortunately no. It makes me glad if one of my videos can help a few people or just show them something new. Thank you.
Thank you. Hey I'm not going to lie. I have a planer but I only use it when the boards are long. I prefer my hand tools. My shop is too small for long boards. Personally I don't like using machines because they are way too loud and messy but that's why I keep it in the woodshed with the earmuffs.
It really annoys me to see the "handmade" attached to a woodworking video only to spend 20 mins watching some random person push wood through 20ks worth of machine. Kudos to those that can afford the machines and know how to use them but I baulk at the handmade.
Yea,Id say it's definitely a slippery slope on the handmade thing. Everyone has a different line that they consider "not handmade.". I guess I'm just biased towards hand tools but I do have a few machines. Thanks!
That's neat. Excuse my ignorance, but I've never seen that form of bench hook before - just the short wide type that's like a mini shooting board and used for cutting small bits of timber with a backsaw. I'll have to make a couple of those... thanks for the tip.
For a future version, maybe use a larger piece to split a second board off of to make a pinned bridal joint esque detail for the ends so that the hook cannot split out? Gorgeous work, and with a good hardwood it should be unlikely, but for longevity that may be worth considering as a detail to add something visually to the piece as well.
Great video. Newbie qn: why go to all trouble removing so much material to make that hook. Why not just glue/squarea small piece on either side of a sqaured up base?
@@SriramKarra Mostly because I'm stubborn and I like to chop up wood. But yea I agree. More than one way to skin a kangaroo. Whichever way suits you best is what I always say. Thanks for watching wherever you are in the world.
Great point, which I realized today doing something similar to this project. I tried to precisely hollow a portion in a cheap knotty 2by4 pine. It was a fail, so i decided to fix two stops with screws. I would not trust glue alone here though, as the forces can be too great. Wooden pegs would be an alternative to screws
Yea. Wood pegs would definitely help. As far as glue, I don't know. I've done some tests myself and watched several videos on glue. The glue we have today is really strong. Most of the time,the wood around the glue has failed before the glue. Crazy stuff
Thanks! I didn't expect it to be spalted. That was a nice surprise. I mainly chose it because that piece was pretty close to quarter sawn by accident. Lucky break for you on the wood. Did you slab it yourself and dry it?
The number of people who feel the need to tell others how to live their lives and use their tool discusts me. If you don't like how he is using his tools because you think it is unsafe or damages them the solution is simple, DON'T WATCH!!!
I know I don't know everything and I know there are plenty of people out there that know more than me. I'm not delusional. I'm willing to accept ideas or tips but there's a way to present that to the person and there is the way Not to. Like be cool man
Lol. Honestly many years ago when I was young, I definitely would have thought that. "Screw that!". Luckily my viewpoint has changed along the way. But I'm going to abuse these things and see how they hold up.
OMG! Please lift the plane off the wood when pulling it back . I’d bet you use files the same way too. It dulls the blade faster.

It’s good to see people making with old fashioned hand tools 😊
I enjoy the heck out of it. Nice quiet and peaceful. Thank you

First order of business is to sharpen hatchet. Sharp tools work so much better than dull ones.
Agreed.
Thank you. I -do- tire of guys who "take a piece of firewood" then run it through the planer-joiner. Again, thank you.

Thank you for this video.
No problemo. I'm glad when one of the videos helps someone out there in the woodworking universe.
A draw knife would have been helpful with roughing that in. I can get a piece fairly flat and smooth with a draw knife. We're all different though.
Funny you should say that. I have one that I got on a trip to Colorado. I just need to sharpen it.
That's neat. Excuse my ignorance, but I've never seen that form of bench hook before - just the short wide type that's like a mini shooting board and used for cutting small bits of timber with a backsaw. I'll have to make a couple of those... thanks for the tip.
No problemo. Glad to help a fellow woodworker.
Awesome! And thanks muchly for showing how to hand surface the lumber!
You're welcome. It does take a little time but if you make sure your blade is sharp,it's not bad.
Nice job and a good workout
Thank you. Definitely a workout but a sharp blade and waxing the bottom of the plane helps.
For a future version, maybe use a larger piece to split a second board off of to make a pinned bridal joint esque detail for the ends so that the hook cannot split out? Gorgeous work, and with a good hardwood it should be unlikely, but for longevity that may be worth considering as a detail to add something visually to the piece as well.
I'm always down for new ideas from my fellow woodworkers. Thanks and thanks for watching!
The first tool I use when selecting wood like this is a draw knife. Save the plan for when you are close to the line.
very informative, thank You! apparently was a usefull thing when clams in olden times were expensive and not readily available😁
Lol. You gotta improvise . That's how pyramids were built.

Nice job and wood choice. Thanks to a couple of hurricane downed trees, I haven’t had to buy any hardwoods for a decade
Thanks! I didn't expect it to be spalted. That was a nice surprise. I mainly chose it because that piece was pretty close to quarter sawn by accident. Lucky break for you on the wood. Did you slab it yourself and dry it?
Very cool 👍🏼💯
Thank you! It's a handy little devil for different sizes.
love it.
Gracias

I totally agree. I also know we are all responsible for our own actions. What he is doing only runs a risk of harming himself and no-one else.
And I thought the hatchet was asking for a shave, lol
First like
Many thanks. May the wind blow at your back and your bank account Never have insufficient funds.
All the gear. No idea. A sharp tool is a safe tool. First good nock on that and the end is off
No sir. These hooks have been around for a while. If they are good enough for Roy Underhill,they are good enough for me.
@jmull2413 Disagree. You can reinforce that with screws btw. Yes, screws. I know, probably sounds like a blasphemy to you😂
Lol. Honestly many years ago when I was young, I definitely would have thought that. "Screw that!". Luckily my viewpoint has changed along the way. But I'm going to abuse these things and see how they hold up.
