      Mostly true! But although it's true that "a bad workman blames his tools," a good workman tends to have decent ones. 😁 It's amazing what a master craftsman can make with low quality tools and materials, but the rest of us do benefit from the help of some good equipment.

      In a skill where you’re always learning, time matters. Tools are time savers.
      You can do almost all woodworking with a chisel, hammer, and drill bit. It just takes 12 lifetimes to figure out how.

      No no, my tools are a limit. I’ve been planning to build a table for ages now, but I can’t find the time or motivation to hand plane over 20 pieces of wood. It’ll happen at some point, but I have other things to do, and with a jointer/thicknesser the table would already be done. That’s just how it is.

    Regarding your planer, there are already some solutions on the market to customize the helical heads for your specific machine. You'll feel like you have a new machine without actually having to buy another one, as this is one of the topics of the video.

  • @mm9773

    As far as I can tell (relying on comments made by professionals), the defining factor of a jointer/thicknesser is the overall build quality, not if the head pattern is helical, spiral or straight. In other words, unless you have all the moneys, you might want to compromise on the surface quality and instead make sure you get a machine that makes your material square, straight and parallel.

    • @pjforde1978
      @pjforde1978 15 годин тому

      Yes, cast iron is always better than lesser table surfaces... but the difference between helical and straight knives is night and day. Not only will the end result be noticably smoother with less cut out, but the machine itself will be about 40% quieter. Plus, if a blade gets damaged, you just rotate that node by 90 degrees instead of needing to replace the whole knife set. Over time, this makes the true cost of ownership far lower.

    I am in the market for a chisel set, and so I was excited to see your Narex recommendation. However, either you were being impressively dry when you said "affordable" or it's possible that they are showing up insanely expensive in my local market (Canada). $360+tax (roughly USD$300) seems like a lot. Are these part of a higher tier that cannot be obtained with mortal brands like Irwin and Dewalt? I'm open to being convinced, but I don't want to pay a sucker tax.

    Can I make a suggestion for a “challenge”…can you make a video where you create a project ONLY using your…🤔…top 5 least used tools (for example). When I say ONLY I should probably specify that I’ll allow 😂 you to use your main tools to get your materials properly prepared and maybe 10% use of your top used tools such as table saw to section off your materials if needed…I’m not that mean to say NO main tools 😂.
    I already enjoy your videos and It just popped in to my head shortly after watching your video that it could be a creative way to find a use case that’s ideal for your lesser used tools and the ad revenue will help you “justify” the money you have already spent….maybe 😂

    Good morning 🌅, Very nice box, you must of been playing the joker 🤡, card , when I purchased a tool, whether it was £10 or £ £15,000, I would make sure it paid for itself less than a year, Or in the case of something £10, probably even a day, When needs must, I still have my Mafell door lock machine, that payed for it self in less than a month, I had 10 doors to make, with machine I could machine the holes for a euro lock in less than five minutes, I started off with a similar planner to your, but about 20 years ago I purchased a SCM Classic Planer and thickness separate, a very good purchase, how is your work shop coming along, if you have not got it all ready snow ⛄️ it is on its way,
