I love seeing HOW to use the great variety of hand tools. Sometimes I see these and just can’t sort how/when they might be useful. It’s just fascinating.
You put a wedding ring or a washer on the shaft of the bit and if the ring and washer is straight as your boring then your boring hole is supposed to be straight. It’s a trick he must of saw on another woodworker UA-camr “wood by wright how to”
I saw the wedding ring trick multiple times in early maybe mid 70's from WW2 era men. Most everyone had a brace and bits because extension cords were limited and not waterproof. The prepared kept rings of pipe in their box of arbor bits. To clarify, for horizontal boring only, you put the ring/washer onto the smooth part of the shaft, between the part that goes in the brace and the spirals. As you turn, the ring moves towards the tip if you're arbor is down by the tip, and the ring travels toward the brace if it's down by the brace.
Fascinating! Watching your videos is always an interesting education in woodworking possibilities. Seems to me our ancestors were endlessly clever and very very skilled. as are you
The Ultimatum Brace is the most beautiful tool in the world and I so want one! I've considered making one, although it will never be as beautiful as your brace.
It was not boring. 😁 It was interesting as usual and very nice of you to one again to share it with us. Woodworking is really about finding ways to adapt. Still amazed about how much there is to find!
Using the bench as a means of stabilizing your tool to get a high quality bore is a new one for me, but it seems like the best way to bore a hole in the vise because you have the most rigidity closed to the jaws vs further up the board. Going to have to pick up a corner brace and adjustable eggbeater drill for that reason alone
Hey, Graham. I have a question: I recently picked up a matched set of wooden tongue and groove planes. They seem to be intended for 1 1/8" material. Would it be sacrilegious if I added a removable block on them so I can use them on 3/4" material too?

Glad to help!
Horizontal boring is aided by adding a washer to the shank of the bit. Depending on which way the washer rides, counter it in the opposite direction.
Could you explain this in a little more detail, please?

Another useful trick!

@@simonablett8613 Please forgive me for not answering. I never received notifications about your question. Fortunately, others filled my gap.
First time seeing a "corner brace" and the angle adjustable "egg whisk drill" 😮
Always something new!
8:50 I have an old Peugeot one that does it like that x)

Cool, thanks

Keep looking!
@@gjbmunc I will!
Really interesting tools indeed, Graham! 😃
Thanks a bunch for another lesson!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
You're welcome

7:02 😮I didn’t know why ! Thank you
Great!
As you said, boring is anything but boring. Thank you for sharing.
You're welcome

Good luck!
Very helpful information on angle boring. Thank you Graham!
You're welcome
Thank you Graham!
That small flexible drill is cool.
You bet!
When I bore under 1/16", I have a smaller egg beater type I use & don't break the bit like with the electric. Fiskars has one that works.
Great!
8:56 cool !
Thanks!
As always good tips and tools to keep an eye out for. Thanks Graham!
Happy to help!
I'm always fascinated about the tools I did not know existed. Thanks for sharing
No problem!
Thanks again
Thanks! 😃
Thanks! 😃
Always a surprise the kind of tools you have! I actually have your book, but haven't seen that one yet.
Always something new!
Thanks!!
No problem!
thank you
You're welcome
as usual, nice tips!
Glad you like them!
Thanks for all your great videos, Graham.
You're welcome
thanks
You're very welcome!
Fascinating. Thank you for the share.
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow you’ve got the coolest tools. Thanks for the education Graham it’s much appreciated.
My pleasure!
My pleasure!
3:54 - What for that bit is? Can you make a video about old drill bits you have (especially old style bits).
Coming soon...
Fascinating, thanks
You're welcome
Thank you Sir.🎉
You're welcome
Would you use a flat mirror to help you sight vertical from the other direction at the same time?
Sometimes a good idea!
I was expecting you to mention spoon bits.
Coming soon.

You could use small C clamps to hold the block on or make an L shaped fence to run the plane against. Other than that it is your tools so your rules.
@@Hawkeyelaotzu thank you!
Not at all.
