Carpenter penxils are very dynamic if you think outside of the box. For example, the lead is thick ao you can ahape it however you want, and since there is no eraser you can have two different shaped points. P.s. The thickness is 5/16"... They're way more useful than a regular pencil. 😊
The centre of an HB pencil is made of graphite, not lead. It might be hard to remove from the timber but it won’t hurt your tools and is not poisonous. BTW, love your videos.
It's true, pencils are filled with graphite, but everybody calls them lead pencils; I still prefer to use a knife or awl to mark fine lines. Thanks for the comment.
When I was in school back in the sixties ( when they made the best music) we had single bevel marking knives but I've not seen any about for a long time
Thank you, Mr. Blackburn. One type of making gauge you did not mention is the marking gauge that I see named a “mortise and tenon marking gauge”. Why did you not include this option in your review? Do you have a preference against their use?
I still have my father's leather-cased real 'tape' tape measure, but while the modern metal ones are fine for carpentry for cabinetmaking I prefer a boxwood rule.
You got the origin of the name of the sloyd knife all wrong. It is derived from the Swedish word 'slöjd' that translates to craft or handiwork. Also, the way English speakers pronounce it is a mess. 😝
His name was Mr Sloyd?! lol Sloyd or Slöjd means handiwork done with mostly simple tools. Often useful artifacts. . Sloyd is very much related to "bushcraft". It's a Scandinavian thing.
A bit of constructive criticism I hope will be taken in the spirit it is given. I love your videos and the dynamic way they are being filmed, but the extreme closeups aren't really accomplishing anything. It's akin to having an object an inch from your eyeball 😅 Zooming is better because physical closeups distorts the picture. But I don't think zooming is necessary in your videos (and would probably complicate matters more than help). The absolute closets should be a couple of feet away without zooming and will work as it is done now.
There is always something to pick up in each of your videos!
Glad you think so!
Another fantastic video Graham - Much Appreciated. Love the angled ruler trick for easy dividing.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for another great lesson, Graham! 😊
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks, you too!
Thank you sir. Take care & stay safe.
Thanks, you too!
Graham, always a pleasure and learning experience watching your program!
Thank you so much.
Thank you again Graham, I really enjoy your teaching style. Keep up the amazing videos.
Thanks, will do!

Makes sense!
To use a carpenter's pencil precisely, you mark a wide line whose edge is where you want to cut, and cut on that edge of the line.
Could work!
@@gjbmunc Could and does - not for cabinetry and knofe lines, but plent good enough for outdoors and framing.
As always, useful information with a straightforward presentation. You're the best!
I appreciate that!
Thank you for your techniques. Maybe one day, I will make it to Woodstock, NY. I'm actually from Woodstock, VA.
Sounds great!
Another critical dimension on winding sticks is even height. When making turn end to end to check for get even heights. Plane to evenness.
Very true.

You can always regrind and resharpen a double-bevelled blade.
this is wonderful
Thanks!
Thank you very😅 much Sir.🎉
You're welcome.
Thanks for the tips!
Happy to help!
Thanks Graham!
You're welcome!
Interesting. Got sea sickness with the artistic photography though
It's my fault for moving too fast for my camerman. Hopefully I'll get better.

I was wondering the same thing.
It's coming up in episode 69.
Interesting as always.
What do you think of tape measures?
I still have my father's leather-cased real 'tape' tape measure, but while the modern metal ones are fine for carpentry for cabinetmaking I prefer a boxwood rule.
👍👍👍!!!
Thanks!

You're actually quite correct. My mistake is what I learnt years ago from my first shop teacher.

You're absolutely right. It's just what my shop teaacher told me years ago. Thanks for the correction.
@@gjbmunc Was his name Jack? Jack Plane perhaps? ;)
Ok none of these things are marking gauges.

Maybe add in a closeup picture in edit? Like when you show how you've sharpened the HB pencil.
I'm still learning the editing. It'll get better.
and to you, too!
@@gjbmuncAnd it definitely has already!
