Making A Carving Chisel Tool Roll
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 жов 2024
- I am making a leather carving chisel tool roll which has the advantage of showing each carving chisel in the roll, so that while you are carving you can select the required chisel.
I am making it out of leather but you could use fabric...such as upholstery cloth.
I show the exact measurements ...so you can freeze frame and take a snapshot if you want to copy this exact roll...but obviously best to check it fits your chisels first.
Obviously take care as sharp chisels cut flesh....so handle carefully and keep out of reach of little fingers!
Simple, easy for beginners, good for practicing, perfect! Thanks.
Brilliant Harry and very useful design principles for other tools too. I like the offset opposing pockets on this design, especially for carving chisels, as it seems to me the business ends are more separated and therefore far less likely to be knocked against each other and get damaged. Many thanks, Gerry
Harry. Again, great project. Good tutorial too. You are a good teacher👍👍👍
Josh Luijsterburg Thanks Josh
I am jealous of your workshop. It looks very comfortable and functional.
Great video Harry. Gotta love a reason to buy more tools…...
Thank so much for all you're advice. I love your videos, you explain everything so well.
Thanks for the video, Harry. Have a great day.
Harry, this style of tool roll has the added feature of having the possibility of folding the two sides over a 2 X 4, leaving all the cutting edges facing upwards, taking less bench space and being more visible for selection. Enjoy your videos.
That's a very elegant solution to a storage problem for sharp tools. This video made me a bit sad though... I didn't realise you couldn't afford the outside bit of a Bic biro.
Best Wishes, Brendan.
Another great video! Just a suggestion: make a video on sharpening/honing those chisels. Love your videos!
Great work!! Thank you for sharing!!👍
Very nice. I love your videos, thanks for sharing all your good ideas
Jason Lewis Thanks Jason
Lovely video yet again!
Very nice job sir!
Very nice what size thread did you use? I just bought the same sewing machine and love it.
Pretty good explanation/demonstration. I'm surprised I did not see your paper prototype :) Is that 3-4oz leather (~1.5mm) ?
You can never have too many hand tools.
Harry, what kind (and weight) of leather is flexible enough and strong enough for this type of project? I am new to leather work and only know veg tanned leather. I suppose you have to stay away from chrome tanned leather because of the metal in the chisels. Correct?
I suspect a chrome leather would in most cases be OK. I know people say about the salts but provided the tool roll is kept dry it is unlikely to be a problem. I have made numerous utility tool rolls from sofa leather with no ill effect. Of course as soon as I say this someone will probably say in their experience otherwise!!
@@harryrogers Thank you Harry. Appreciate the information.
Very nice! I need to make covers for my spoon carving gouges. They are bent so not sure how to do. Thanks
Sam Houston if you search for...how to make a cover for my mora spoon knife a guy called grierwolfe has a nice easy one with measurements
John Carroll thanks sir
Hi, Harry. I recently found your channel and am quite enjoying learning from you. Many thanks! Quick question: I just watched your choosing leather video, and so am curious if I've guessed correctly (or not) that for the tool roll you used vegetable-died calf leather, maybe grade 2 (or maybe grade 1 -- my memory of that part of this video isn't perfect!), about 2 mm thick. Thanks *very* much for sharing your expertise!!!
dsmith1616 Yes correct....it was some scrap leather of ok quality...fine for tool rolls.
Harry Rogers Wow! What a quick reply! Thanks much for the confirmation.
What weight of leather did you use? I really enjoy your videos. What model of Juki are you using?
Robin Hoff About 5 or 6 oz leather....its one of the Juki compound feed machines...1541.
I would like to use veg tan, do you think it's too much for a tool roll, and would 2mm be better than 1.2 mm, thank you
Hi June...need a fair bit of flex in the leather..veg tan would be nice if a flexible piece, and 2mm is tougher, but do need a good bit of flex to roll up..so really depends on the characteristics of the piece, and the size of the tool roll...I can see a veg tan panel hide working well for this is for carving chisels. I generally dislike chrome tan upholstery leather and do not use it....apart from for tool rolls as I see these as utilitarian items! Of course others may feel otherwise!!
I’d like a similar sized tool roll for my standard chisels however I have found that my sharp chisels always tear through the roll. Is there a way to reinforce the bottom. I have no leather work experience. Just a keen interest.
Thank you.
Michelle k hi I always put leather socks or the small plastic caps on standard wood chisels and that seems to help.
Hi Harry, what thickness did you use please? Great video by the way!
Hi I think it was about 1.4mm..some upholstery leather would work for this sort of thing.
Harry Rogers I have about a 1.2 or a 2mm, what would recommend out of the two for outdoors please Harry?
Do a lot of people over there use Imperial system?
now hit the boot sales and find 15 more!
Do you measure everything in Imperial like us in the USA (oh I'm not a Trump supporter) or metric?
That is a good question , I am a trump supporter with an open mind and can think for myself
Hello mostly imperial...but sometimes metric...just to keep everyone on their toes.
