Mate u are a legend and so young and already a master craftsman amazing watching u work i have watched every one of your videos and have sub. to your channel congrats on 10K subs well done i will be looking fwrd watching u grow and expand your work shop and more and exciting new projects this was a great build not a big fan of magnets, but it served its purpose and that was for you to practice the joinery and u did it beautifully but i would love to see a nice tool cabinet build for your awesome tools one day again congratulations Gillis my friend and look fwrd to your next video .
hello, I did join because youtube algorithm throw me your workbench video. But, i've watched almost everything on your channel by now, i m also a pure handtoolist and really enjoy your content. also love your calm voice and composure. very appreciable to watch your video. Glad there is a new one,thanks for it!
in the book Campaign Furniture, Schwarz mentions that full-blind dovetails can be the easiest dovetail, so long as one doesn't mind cutting a little past the line on the inside of the carcasse (which isn't your style, I know, but maybe for future shop furniture projects?), making them the go-to joint for utilitarian, mid-grade fine furniture in the 18th and 19th centuries. I'd like to learn how; thanks for reminding/inspiring me to give it a try!
Very interesting! I can see how that would speed it up, but there’s still the process of chopping out the waste (compared to the faster coping saw on regulr dovetails) and getting the miter to close up neatly. I wonder what those craftsmen knew that made it so easy! Thanks for sharing!
If my memory of Schwarz's discussion is correct, I think they chopped more roughly than usual (knowing it wouldn't be seen) and used a kerf cut to close up the miter; coping saws weren't as good back then, so weren't an option. Speaking of things that didn't exist back then, if it's a large enough dovetail, I guess one could use a vibrating multi-tool! @@GillisBjork
@@joelhollingsworth2374 Aaah that makes sense. So if I understand it correctly: if the dovetails are loose enough, you could make an approximate miter, put it together, kerf cut it, and then push the joint closed. You'd just have to make sure the dovetails don't bottom out before the miter closes. Could be fun to do a speed challenge on this joint. Thanks for the brain food!
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉 Always enjoy watching you tackle new methods. Inspires me to broaden my horizons too!! Very neat tool holding project. Those magnetic strips are underrated imo.
Thanks Gillis super good job. I recently made a couple of tool walls not that fancy but finding things is much better. Love the black background good contrast
Congratulations, Gillis, on 10K subs! All of us love your craftsmanship and, dare I say, love you as a craftsman. I learn A LOT from you and I’m very grateful! Here’s to 10K more!
Great work Gillis. Loved how you worked on several corners at one time. I recently acquired some new chisels and I'm struggling to mount them all on my wall. I have a couple of magnetic bars which should work just as yours did.
Thank you John! Yep, batch cutting things can not only improve speed but also accuracy, as you get into the groove of the task. And yeah, give the magnet bars a go!
Love your channel and appreciate all the hard work. Can you tell me your process for sharpening your chisels please. They seem to be very sharp in all of your videos.
It is admirable that you try to learn something new each time. And the job you do is quite good. I had not seen the mitred hidden dovetale joint before. I will keep that in mind for a job in the future. Thank you
I think you could improve the audio quality of your recording if you were to build a few acoustic absorption panels for the ceiling. They're very simple and can cut down on reflections a lot.
I make atempt to hang cuting tools at magnets, years ago, but in the end sharpening is nightmare after that. All fine particles, filings from grainding (no important is grit of stone) are catch on cuting edge. Solution can be demagnetizer (or how u call it) for screwdrivers but as I use mostly carpenter chisels they are to small for this. In the end i have rule: keep chisels, drilbits, knives etc far away magnets. But maybe U will have diferent experience. I wait for review after some time.
Very nice work on those frames I wonder if one really needs to saw the sides of the pin sockets st all. How much (if any) chisel work does it save? I forgot to saw a set of pins on the last set of half blind drawer joints i made. Never even noticed until i was almost done.
Beautiful work, dude! Really well done! 😃 Congrats for the 10k subscribers mark!!! But I thought you already had much more! At least you should have! (I have 11.6k and I haven't published much!) Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊 BTW, sorry I didn't watch your workbench build yet... Things have been crazy around here lately.
Thanks a lot, MC! Absolutely no worries about the bench video, take your time with everything you need to do. It was a long video so I understand if not everyone can find the time for it!
@GillisBjork Yeah, but I want to watch it. 😂 The issue is too much stuff at the same time, you know? I'm in the process of installing solar panels here at home, some routine medical stuff, work... At least everyone is healthy here, including my cats!
By the sound of your planing I think your sole would benefit from some lubrication. I get really nice glide by rubbing the butt of a stearin candle on the sole.
One word: ASTOUNDING! Not only the work, but the video quality too. Seriously, Krenov had nothing on you...I.M.O. Retired carpenter age 73 Detroit, Michigan USA.

Haha thank you, not the only one, but I'm glad the effort is appreciated!
I have to thank you, you have made me enjoy working with wood again.
Oh that’s very nice to hear!
Congratulations on reaching 10k subscribers! 🥳 Well deserved!
Thank you! I’m very happy that my work is interesting to so many people!
Great work! I'm recovering from Covid, so can't spend much time in the shop just now. This gave me a wonderful chance to woodwork by proxy. Thank you!
Thanks Michael! I hope you’ll recover quickly!
Always a good day when i get to watch a new video from you. Keep making this excellent content!
Glad you feel that way! Thanks!
It's good to see that you haven't been washed away last week!
Haha yes, almost got stuck on an island when the ferries couldn't go, just barely made it home before the worst of it!
your workspace keeps evolving, fantastic.
It’s a good feeling! Thanks for the support!
Härliga blev de! Och väldigt fint klippt, kring fogarnas tillverkning. Många generösa vinklar. Tack för en fin video.
Tack så mycket, Olle! Glad att det var tillräckligt med vinklar, alltid en balansgång!
This channel is literally perfect.
Thanks a lot!

Thank you for the kind words! Tool cabinets are beautiful but I think it's not for me, I like to have everything accessible on a wall like this :)
As always your content is excellent. I look forward to more. Working with hand tools to me is much more rewarding. Congratulations on 10k subscribers.
Thank you so much, John!

Many thanks! Glad you're enjoying!
Congratulations on 10K. I enjoy your low stress approach to the craft. Well done.
Thank you! I've come to realize, stressing only makes me do bad work. Things take time and that's ok. Glad it comes across :)

You flatter me, Professor! Thank you so very much, I’m super happy you’re learning!
Btw, I forgot to mention that your tool panels look awesome! Great work!
@@professor62 thanks a bunch, glad you like them!
Excellent work!
Thanks August!
Great content I'd love to see more on this pairing jig
Thanks! You can see it a bit more in action in my latest video: ua-cam.com/video/Lf4nzkz1d8k/v-deo.html
Great job, as usual.
Many thanks!
Nice work ! You gave me an idea ...
Thank you! Glad to hear that!
My face when I notice that you uploaded a new video --> 😊 And after watching it --> 😯
Congratulations to 10k subs 🎉 You deserve way more!
Haha that’s some good faces I think, thank you very much!
@@GillisBjork yes, happy at first and amazed / stunned after watching 😉

Very nice man. I hope I can get to this point with my channel as well. Congrats
Thank you! I'm sure you will!
Looks fantastic! Great work!!

Oh, that’s something I hadn’t thought of. Thanks for the heads up! If I get the same issue, I guess there’ll be another video of a new tool wall haha
👌
Very nice work on those frames

You know, that's a really good question. Go straight from marking to chopping. Gotta try that sometime. Thank you!
I know its over kill but it would be cool to make picture frames this way 👍
Oh for sure! No-one would know from looking at it, but it’d be the strongest picture frame in the world💪
Beautiful work, dude! Really well done! 😃
