    Thank you for sharing your family history along with the fine tools! To think that back in the days a man could build a house, pick a fine woman, raise children all from the work of skilled hands and the pride in well kept tools! Pride enough to have a stamp made (or possibly even make it himself) to mark the means of income and livelyhood for generations.

  • @DaddyBear3000

    I have a lot of my Grandfathers woodworking tools that are from around 1870. They probably aren’t worth much money, but they are priceless to me.

    Great video and so useful! I am also a generational woodworker. As one of nine children, my older brother and I are the only ones that caught the woodworking bug. As a daughter, it was expected that I learn all the basic homemaking skills, but my fondest memories were helping my father in his workshop. Over the years, I have built up my own workshop and some of his tools are used on a regular basis. Of my own 4 children, two are also woodworkers (son and daughter), so I hope these tools will continue to be used long after I'm gone and my own children can remember the generations of hands that have used them.

    Great tip on cutting wedges, a even better story on your great grandfather & grand father the quality of the workmanship that went into the tools they made the work they performed was & is truly amazing, I would challenge anyone to craft such tools of quality, don’t forget many of these same carpenters, cabinet makers would of forged heat treated their own chisels, plane blades etc Truly Amazing thanks for sharing.

  • @toronjanahera1143
    @toronjanahera1143 Рік тому

    I've watched about 15 videos on how to and this is the best explanation ever.
    One tip I've learned from a previews video is that both boards must be at the same length from the notch to the end to get a nice "sharp"end, hope this helps

  • @toronjanahera1143
    @toronjanahera1143 Рік тому

    It's so amazing to see all those very unique tools in this year 2023 I'm in the US of A.
    It can be some times painful to see what our parents left behind or in my case to know you're gonna leave something for your loved ones.
    May the Lord bless you and thank you for showing us something so personal and valuable to you.

    Thanks for nice video and sharing your story of your heritage and love of woodworking. I’m 62 and trying to learn woodworking as much as my health will allow. My Dad passed in 2007 and he loved working with wood and so did his dad, my Grandfather (who came to the US from Glasgow, NS). I can “feel” a closeness to my Dad when I pick up one of his old tools. Doesn’t matter if it’s a ruler or a chisel, it makes me think of him and it’s a really sweet feeling. Thank you!!

    As a struggling carpenter I first had tried my own method using a Rockler jig. That proved too difficult with having to lock each piece of wood on the jig with each cut using thumb screws. This looks to be a much more practical and faster method. I'll repost once I tried it.

    Nice video! I actually inherited a whole bunch of my grandfathers tools. Mostly Swedish made gouches, chisels, saws and planes. He was a stair builder, so a lot of the planes are specific to that kind of work. I have been restoring all these tools, and feel great pride in using them.

    Great idea - I have made an adjustable long jig with the same principle for making long tapered table legs etc but I needed a simpler jig for making a dozen short 3 inch 15 degree wedges for a summer house guttering and this simple method is just the job. Thanks.

    Hi Steve! I already knew about, and have used the wedge jig - great tip still. One thing to add is that the relative size of any wedge to be used for a specific project can be determined beforehand by calculating the average size of wedge needed.
    Mostly I wanted to say I liked your spot on your great-grandfather's tools. I am lucky to have many of my dad's and his father's tools then tools going all the way back to my great-great-grandfather. I too am inclined to use some of them now and again.

  • @davidg105
    @davidg105 5 років тому

    Thank you, now I know a better way of making repeatable wedges. I always use my late dads tools and often wonder about the history of them. He wasn't a kid friendly dad and didn't say much to us but I learned everything from him.

  • @garyschmidt7320
    @garyschmidt7320 5 років тому

    I remember the carpenter who taught me to make wedge/shims that way. Roy also taught the phrase," you have to take care of your tools, so they can take care of you." I liked the old family tools too. I have several from my family members who are gone too. I also have stamps, but the individual numbers and letters. I use them to mark my work and some tools I've made.
