Thank you, sir. I recently found your channel and subscribed. I appreciate how well you explain things and keep it simple for those of us who are interested in transitioning from using power tools to using hand tools more often.
Built right along with you sir. Great episode, I really enjoyed it. I do have a question. Maybe better for a Q and A episode but, Do you know when we went from using a chute board to the apparent widely accepted term shooting board? It has been on my mind for some time, and you are the only one on UA-cam that I can trust and may know the real answer. The more you teach us the less I think some of the others really know. Love what you are doing sir. Thank you.
@@gjbmunc I have seen a tool catalog from 1910 where a Stanley #51 Chute board was advertised. Turns out, the Chute boards are fairly rare. I guess no one wanted to pay Stanley for a shooting board they could make themselves. Thank you for the answer!
Whenever I try to cut rabbets, there are always one or two unlucky boards where the grain direction is wrong and there is tear-out. What is the best way to solve this problem if I am using a #78? It's kind of awkward to use it in reverse. Thank you!
Ways to avoid tearout: 1.Super sharp blade 2.Thinner shaving 3. Finish the rabbet when it's nearly at the correct depth with a scraper (going in the opposite direction)
I do appreciate your work, but the box looked so uneven, not squared at all. Then it was skipped to putting on the lid. I understand the need to save time, but why skip putting in the bottom and squaring it?
@@gjbmunc I mean, it is a natural step, but it's kind of like "how to draw an owl, make two circles, then draw the rest of the owl." I can imagine how it would turn out, but I do appreciate a little more step by step for the specific project shown.
@@gjbmunc You're surrendering to the hegemony of the USA! Don't. It's English, so the clue is in the name. We have rebates and housing joints, and dados are a third of the way up a Georgian drawing room wall.
That wooden rebate plane is beautiful
Thanks!

Great! Keep going!
hahahah "and somwhere else is the bottom" SIR! I can relate to that.
Indeed!
Thanks a million for sharing 😊
Very welcome!
Nice work,sir!I enjoyed it, thanks!
Thank you!
Always a pleasure.
My pleasure!
Interesting, educational and thought provoking.
Thank you so much!
I went straight to dovetail boxes so it’s interesting to expand the old repertoire.
Stay tuned - more dovetailing to come.
Really beautiful work, Graham! Really great box!!! 😃
I'm definitely going to try it!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks, you too!
Thank you
You're welcome!
I am looking forward to the dovetail boxes.
Coming soon!
Thank you for a great video :^) I'm still browsing/reading The Encyclopedia ... Instruments and Devices. It's a pure joy :^)
Good to hear!
Just finished one, thought it would be super easy. The box had other plans though 😂
Sorry about that, If I explained everything at once it would take too long, this way there's a bit of excitement and self-discovery!
@@gjbmunc Of course! Also, messing things up is a necessary ingredient of the learning process. For me at least.
John Lennon once said "Life is what happens when you are making plans." lol
I got the same workbench, but the double version with 4 vises and 2 tool wells. Paid a whole $50..it’s sooo heavy and well built the vises are awsome.
Now you're all set up for an apprentice!
thanks
You're welcome!
Nice.
Very welcome!

I believe it was the Stanley Company that started calling it a 'Chute' Board.

When setting up any type of rebate plane where do you prefer to locate the plane blade in relation to the edge of the plane.
Just a very tiny bit proud of the side of the plane, otherwise you run the risk of the wall of the rabbet stepping out.

@@gjbmunc Thank you very much! I'll try that.
How did you attach the bottom?
Just nailed in from the front and back and one nail in the center of each end.
You never put the nails at angles ?
Just in case I need to dissasemble the pieces.

You're right, I just assumed that would be a natural step. Next time, bit by bit.

@@LeaughtFox Got it.
Rebate
of course....also tomato.
@@gjbmunc Your British right lol
Rebate, old chap. Rebate. Can't have the Americans taking over the language.
Given that we (Brits) stole 'rebate' from the French (rabatre)
we shouldn't complain. There's no keeping language consistent!
