Great idea. I spent an hour getting the length right! I have some Chinese useless sanding belts with overlapping joints for a Sheppach linisher. They now have a use. I used a piece of Ash straight grained and about 1/8” thin. All simpler with machinery. I cheated. It would have taken me a week with hand tool.
Another great video. Keep them coming. 👍👍👍
A good pair of forged scissors is a fine tool. Cut sandpaper from the back with a utility knife. You can turn a belt inside out. Great tool idea.
Cuttin grooves is by far the best part of hand tool work 😁🤙
Great intro James :) Superb idea using a sanding belt, I need to make a few of these :) ॐ
Thanks Man. I can not for the life of me remember where I got the idea for that but it is a fun tool.
Yep, I need to make this. Thanks for this great video!
Thanks, this is a good project I can do in my den during our cold winter. It’s already below freezing out in my shop so I’m hibernating inside where it’s warm.
The important lesson I've taken away from this and your bow compass video is, don't overthink, over-plan or over-execute. You've got a good idea what you want and how fancy or precise it needs to be, so you just give yourself some wiggle room and have at it. That's what makes it fun, and probably builds confidence, amiright?
Man, I could not have said it better myself. you hit the heart of this channel. that is what makes this sport so fun. there is no wrong way to do it just do what makes you smile!
Yes, i love bow sanders. I need to make a few more. My style bow sander works with sandpaper that does not come in belt shape. I want wet'n'dry sandpaper so i can sand on the lathe with oil. That prevents so much dust from flying.
+Willem Kossen fun idea
Nice follow up to your plane tote video. Have a serviceable 605 Stanley in need of new tote and knob. Will be following in your footsteps soon. Thanks for that education!
Thanks Dennis! looking forward to seeing your work!
"get a table saw!"
But my Disston D8 custom recut and sharpened by bob page is nice, effective, far less likely to hurt me, and makes really really clean cuts
Amazing James, you're a mind reader. EVERY TIME you use your bow sander I forget to ask you to do a video on it....Let's try an experiment. I am thinking of THE OTHER video I want you to make.....lol...cheers...rr
it will be out in a couple hours! trust me Richard! it is EXACTLY what you want LOL
I love that size. It's like the No. 5 1/2 of bow sanders!
LOL something like that!
You may already use this, but an alternative to double-sided carpet tape is the "making tape super glue trick." Carpet tape leaves a terrible residue. However, if you place a piece of masking tape on each face that need to be secured, and then put a few dots (or a line, depending) of super glue between the two strips of masking tape, it will secure almost immediately. It holds better than carpet tape and releases without any residue (unless you use too much super glue and it seeps past the edges of the tape).
Yep. I use that one from time to time. Have a good friend that absolutely loves that one and uses it extensively.
Glad to see you get that ryoba saw out!
+Giz U I try to use one in most projects.
Really enjoyed this video, James. I like the way you blend basics with making something useful. Good job!
+Johann Botha thanks johann
I dunno Man, my table saw is a lot of fun. I mean, it's like going into battle where life and limb are on the line...really gets the blood flowing!
Ironically, and thankfully, the only saw I've ever hurt myself on was a hand saw (cut may hand - I suppose it was only doing what it was built for....)
But hand sawing is fun, won't argue that.
(but I enjoy sanding also, so my opinion is probably suspect at best)
As always, great! What about a video showing us newbies the other grooving methods? I know that would help me a lot!
That is a great idea! I will have to look at that.
Great idea, seems to be very handy device.
It will be a great treat indeed if you can share the build with us!
Thanks Alberto!
Well done James, take a bow 😉
+Make Brooklyn thanks. I will.
Wow, nice work especially on the plane knob. I am hooked on this bow sander but I will probably have to experiment with different wood types for the bow... btw: Just a non-woodworking tip. Please burn that little black statue you have in your workshop... It is a bad thing and I am talking from experience ...
Fantastic run of content recently, James!
I’ve loved the whole lathe project, & the bench before that. I don’t know how you find the time.
Bravo! X
thanks Katie. I am looking forward to going back to 3 a week. but it has been a fun experement
damn, i couldve used one of these on a build i'm just finishing...! will defo make one, cheers!
Very good! Thanks
MY pleasure Robert.
Nice tool! Nice vídeo
+Mikhandmaker thanks man.
cool. #27 almost there!
it is right around the corner!
Great bow sander James but I still like the ones that you and I made better!
+Opa's Workshop lol that was a fun day.
Great!!!!
Hmm, a nice assortment of planes, and it's the first time that I've seen anyone use a 55. Since they're so rare, what would be a useful alternative?
you could make a plow plane or a groving plane. I have a couple videos on that. or you could just use a chisel and cut it out. or you could saw either side with a saw then remove the waste.
There's also a couple other Stanley combo planes. The 50 is the one I was just gifted, I'm hoping to get a set of cutters to go with it soon
You keep talking about how you could use a bench hook. What is that, could you show it and how it's used? I am new to woodworking in general, and can't put a picture with the tool name.
Thanks.
I just realized I have never made a video about a bench hook. I should do that. thanks man! you might see it in the next few days.
James, in several recent videos, you’ve mentioned “knife walls”. I’m not a woodworker, but I’m curious and Googling wasn’t successful. At some point could you talk briefly about that?
+Bob Pedersen that might make a good video. A knife wall is a marking knife cut that the saw can ride in it also protects from tear out by the saw.
Wood By Wright Ah! I see. Thank you.
I think you have given me the hand tool bug, I found myself heading to the bandsaw before deciding to use my pull saw. Do you have any recommendations on starter low cost western saws? The only ones I can find are the crappy universal saws.
thanks Scott that means a lot. for new saws, the only "cheap" option I recommend is the saws from Veritas. they feel great and they work perfectly and for the price, you can not beat them. other than that restoring old saws is the only way to go, but back saws are almost impossible to find.
Yes, I think I might have a go at making a couple.. BTW... Shave Horse???? Is that a subtle hint at a new project?? You've definitely been watching too much of Shannon ;0
+Peter Compton lol it is on the list. I will probably make a pony like Shannon.
I've never heard of wood curls being called fluffy 😆
+Clay Foreman the best ones are very fluffy!
FYI - the Patreon link doesn't seem to be loading anything for your site for the past few days.
+Ed Boyle which link is that? In the description, cards, or end screen? I will have to check it out.
Could aged hickory work for making the bow? Or how about not aged beech?
Sure. Both of those work
@@WoodByWright Thanks. I made one out of not aged beech 🤣 and it came out pretty well. It does what it's intended for.
Groovy!
LOL yup!
Subscribed ! 😃👍
Thanks Andy!
well im back here again
LOL thanks John!
whats a bow sandder, it titles the actual video lol... love the bow sanders
yup there is something amiss with most of them. I love to add those in there and see who gets them.
Will you be building a shaving horse?
It is on my list. probably a shave pony untell I build my outdoor shop.
Wait...you know what sandpaper is? I thought you just used a smoothing plane on everything.
LOL ya it is what you get when you use a plane on a sharping stone. thin strips of sharpening stone!
The radius on the end caps can be varied so one side is fat for larger radius sanding and the other is smaller for tighter curves.
Pls pls pls pls pls pls pls pls pls make a shooting board
