You can buy 50 vintage hand-planes and spend the next year restoring them, or you can get three common and useful planes and get to work right now. In this video, I’ll show you the three planes that you will use for 80% of your woodworking even once you become a more experienced craftsman. These planes are common, easy to find, and generally cheap. They each have a specific and important function in the shop. Once you own these models, your ability to process stock in a clean and quiet environment will amaze you. You can always buy expensive machines later, but with good planes, you can get working immediately.

Instant Access Tool Center

Patrick Sullivan
Published on 9 Mar 2019

Designing and building a case that provides instant access for most of the small tools that you use regularly. This portable fixture is set up so that you can easily access the tools you need, and also replace them the second you are finished with them, keeping your workplace organized. It protects small tools from damage or loss, and increases efficiency by ensuring that they will not get lost in workbench clutter.

Plans: this fixture needs to be customized to each woodworker’s personal needs and tools, so it makes little sense to exactly duplicate my layout. However, I will post photos of the case on my website, with dimensions, to help you get started with your own layout. Here is the link to my website:

My apprenticeship as a blacksmith – forging a nail

Before forging my sword, I had to do an apprenticeship as a blacksmith, and make a nail. Here witness my training.

Support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Lindybeige

I was a guest of The Cut and Thrust Collective – four blacksmiths who have banded together in a forge that was once known as The Forge of Avalon, in Glastonbury. There I spent most of a week, and there I forged my sword – Arnander – the making of which will be the subject of further videos.

I’m quite pleased with the amount of information I got into this video about how forging is done. It shows you several details of how to use a forge to heat metal, and how to hammer shapes into metal.

Many thanks to Joseph McDonald for inviting me in the first place, acting as cameraman, and cooking lots of bacon. Thanks too to my teacher here Thom Leworthy.

The company takes commissions for blacksmithing, and runs courses so that you can go in and make your own pieces. glastonburysmith@gmail.com

Lindybeige: a channel of archaeology, ancient and medieval warfare, rants, swing dance, travelogues, evolution, and whatever else occurs to me to make.

My name is Matt Estlea, I’m a 23 year old Woodworker from Basingstoke in England and my aim is to make your woodworking less s***.

I come from 5 years tuition at Rycotewood Furniture Centre with a further 1 year working as an Artist in Residence at the Sylva Foundation. I now teach City and Guilds Furniture Making at Rycotewood as of September 2018.

I also had 5 years of experience working at Axminster Tools and Machinery where I helped customers with purchasing tools, demonstrated in stores and events, and gained extensive knowledge about a variety of tools and brands.

During the week, I film woodworking projects, tutorials, reviews and a viewer favourite ‘Tool Duel’ where I compare two competitive manufacturers tools against one another to find out which is best.

Butcherblock table made from scrap hardwood

I had started collecting and cutting all the scrapwood almost a year ago, and finally had time to film and build this table. It turned out more beautiful than I could have imagined. I originally just set out to build a new cheap work table out of scraps, but now after making this table, I think I’d like to try this method with some fine furniture!

Another experiment in generating thumbnail images for social media links (just using a literal thumbnail image as in yesterday’s posts didn’t work):

In this video, I show you how to use a marking gauge correctly as well as share some extra tips and pointers to help you with your woodworking. Accurate measuring and marking is an essential skill when it comes to fine woodworking. It doesn’t matter how good you are with a saw or a chisel, if your layout is inaccurate every operation after will be inaccurate too.
