I need a woodworking apron for this carving game. My pockets are full of dust!!
Battery blower or compressed air to the rescue :D
I feel an apron review coming out soon
Freak'n loved this. I've purchased and used a few Kutzall discs over the years, and the price was always painful. But it looks like they're worth it!
Great reviews. I think a pair of gloves when changing any of those blades would be a must. especially for the cheap ones . They look dangerous.
Its nice to see a good honest review that you can trust. Thank you John.
Great comparison John I’ve done quite a bit of carving using a grinder and I would like to say that what ever money you save with a cheap disc is quickly eliminated with the time spent trying to remove the discs from the grinder as you pointed out! Then you have the damage caused by the increase in the likelihood of a chip out. They are also more difficult to control when shaping so the desired outcome is not as precise as the user is hoping for. All this followed by more aggressive sanding is required to remove the deeper gouges so add in the cost of consuming more flap wheels. The biggest concern being safety for all the above and those reasons you covered in this video. I agree 100% with the old adage “ You Get What you pay for”. I am a Kutzall affiliate because I’m impressed with their quality and my results with their discs. If you would like to see some really cool contrasting colors in your carving give Shou Sugi ban and red cedar a try the color contrast is amazing. I’ve done a few videos with this medium if you wanna see what I’m referring to. Excellent video!
Thanks for the tip. I'll check out your videos.
Great video fella, definitely showed the benefits of the decent ones. I have one of the garbage ones, but only tried it once and it was a bit sketchy lol
Great video John. I had just bought the OBA flat disc just to have in stock in case I ever needed it. As soon as I have typed this, I will go to my shed and throw it straight in the bin! So glad you tried it and gave your opinion. It will have definitely saved someone from injury.
Glad to help Andrew
Thanks for doing this video, John. I really appreciate your honesty in this. I think I'll stick with the Kutzalls. I don't like grinders in general because they can cause so much damage so quickly. I do think the grinder has a place in this kind of woodworking though. Although I would probably start out a bowl in oak with a hand tool like and adze or some kind of large scooping tool. Then maybe finess with the Kutzall fine disks. Thanks again, John! Always enjoy your videos. Very well done audio and highest quality video.
No problem!
Thanks John. Those black 1's did a fine job of turning yer electric bill into noise. Sharps and gloves are a good combo. Heal well. Take care & stay safe.
Cheers Doug
My concern is safety issues...the angle grinder is one of the most dangerous power tool that there is, i am using it from time to time on cutting metal, tiles and on bricks. I saw injuries because of not using it properly and in safety manners ( used by professionals)Removing the angle grinder safety guard is a big no no! You holding settings of the wood is also not safe ( you must fasten the wood both sides). The grinder can kick back to you and it can be happend even with high hand cutters! Wood have got fibers so it won't act predictable like metal or tiles....
Safty first
Thanks John, great instructional Video. sorry you hurt your finger, hope it gets better real soon. Looking forward to your next video.
Thanks 👍
Your videos have a way of turning a bad day around. Thank you for the positive vibes!
Cheers John, These things terrify me so I'm unlikely to be trying this anytime soon but thanks to you I know which ones I'd be going for if I ever had the need. Hopefully the fingers are mended OK.
All good now thanks
THANKS POR THE REVIEW
No problem
Good review but I think I'll stick to hand carving with a mallet and chisels
another solid video! I've heard many people say to stay away from the cheap carving discs, for the same reasons you mentioned! I'd be curious to see what you think of the Arbortech turbo plane carving tools. From what I've seen they remove material very well, but it's actual blades, so it produces way less dust as well. Anyway, cheers from Pennsylvania!
While I'm not planning on doing any carving any time soon, I know I'll try it at some point. Very informative vid. I hate using the angle grinder, just not my favourite tool at the best of times.
Not my favourite tool either.
Nice review. I thought about buying some cheap discs. But now I am NOT. Thank you John 🙂
Glad to help
Great tool review and definitely good advice “buy cheap by twice” hope the fingers get better soon and the dish looks very cool
Thanks 👍
Thank you for doing the homework on these so "WE" don't have to I have been checking out these different cutting discs video's and they all pretty much say the same thing about the cheaper ones that their not comfortable using them and they could be dangerous. After watching your video I think that I will make the investment on the kutzall brand again because their safer and they have a lot more longevity. thank you again!!
Glad to help
I bloody love your videos, really pleased you’re back making some content! Long may it continue 😊
Cheers Gareth
Cheers John. Youve saved me from a lifelong habit of buying cheap twice...
Glad to help.
Just wanted to swing by this channel and mention I really enjoyed your whiskey channel. Any chance you might resume that at some point? Cheers!
I would like to, but it's hard to find the time.
Thanks
Thanks you very much!
Great review John
Thanks
Cracking video john looks wicked. I have couple the cheap ones and yes i agree they are grabby although didnt have the arbour issue you did. I am planning saving for the kutzal ones. More these video's please 🏴👍
Cheers Michael
Great video, and yes cheap is cheap no matter what manufacturer. Hope you heal well
Thanks 👍
Thanks for taking one for the team. We got a great review out of it though thanks mate.
You are welcome
Thanks John for the review as always buy cheap buy twice 👌
No problem 👍
when the packaging has a German spelling error on the front you know it's going to be high quality…😂
🤣
@@JohnMcGrathManInShed@John McGrath, thank you for this video. I’d just started researching these for a project I’ve got going and your timing is perfect. The review you provide is extremely helpful and the safety concerns, more than anything, do it for me. Kutzall will have me as a new customer. Again, MUCH appreciated!
@roadtriplover. Glad I could help
Have you seen the arbor tech discs, I’m wondering if they are worth the high price tag too, they seem to have large too the options, great video 👍
I have but they were not in the budget for this video
I think I would feel safer with a carving bar on my chainsaw than those cheap disks, at least my hands are out of the way with that.
We call the cheap ones “the widow maker “
They are lol
Hi John. Thanks for the review. Have you considered the Arbortech carving discs? Ive heard they are fantastic.
Hi Brian, I looked at the Arbortech but at nearly €150 a disc they were not in the budget for this video. I would like to try them though.
@@JohnMcGrathManInShedhi John do you have links to the more expensive ones plz

@@JohnMcGrathManInShed hi John ty sir can you do anouther hand tool build video plz sir
@@JohnMcGrathManInShed yes very true. I’ve also been looking at their mini carver but it’s a big outlay for a very niche use.
I think you’ve just scared me. Specially with my sight loss don’t think Art uses. Might just stick to the old-fashioned tools, good old hands and sweat, building a Windsor chair and hollering out the base thought about getting one of these but I want. I’ll deafly not have many things left. 0:37
Better off with the hand tools Paul.
"Cheap tool maker here...", replies noone.
There was blood, sweat, and tears in this video.
There certainly was
i learned that the Kutzall brand is far superior to the Chinese made blades. Thanks.
I'm glad the video was useful
a decent ads would have given you more fun.
I'm look at getting a carving axe and a adze, but they are for green wood, they would be useless on seasoned oak.
