How to Sharpen a V Tool or Carving Gouge – Hand Tool Woodworking

Filed under: Tools, Woodworking — Tags: , , — Nicholas @ 02:00

Wood By Wright
Published 18 May 2017

What good is a carving chisel if it is not sharp? The V-tool and Carving gouge are easier to sharpen than they look if you understand a few basic Hand Tool truths. Any blade is sharpened the same way but some blades require the right tool to reach the tip. All woodworking is, is a sharp iron working its way through the wood. Here is how to do it!

Diamond Stones: http://amzn.to/2oppz0J (I use Extra-coarse, Medium-fine, and Extra-fine)

QotD: Creative hand-work

Filed under: Britain, History, Quotations, Woodworking — Tags: , , , , — Nicholas @ 01:00

We have often discussed here that aspect of modern industrial life which has tended to divorce the work of many men from anything that is intelligently creative, because so much is done by machinery. Compensation comes in the increase of leisure which this allows, a leisure that does at least give a man an opportunity of finding his own interests or hobbies. But at the same time have come the counter-attractions of cinema and radio, offering an easy way of entertainment without effort to a man who is tired after his day’s work. So that, in spite of the increase of opportunity, he has every inducement to allow himself to drift. The older man usually knows how to strike the balance. Things were not so easy when he was a boy, he had to learn to amuse himself, and he grew up with all sorts of hobbies and enthusiasms, and learned to be a handy sort of fellow. If he is, say, a keen woodworker, or a keen gardener, there are times when nothing will tempt him away from the job in hand.

But for the younger generation it is different. They were born into the state of affairs where entertainment, like everything else, was made easy. And some of our Youth Leaders are now finding it difficult to get boys really doing things — boys in their teens with no particular hobbies, no particular interests, who simply want to be enter­tained, and that at a time when a boy should be so full of interests that no day is long enough to cram them all in. “I do not complain of growing old,” says John Buchan, “but I like to keep my faith that at one stage in our mortal existence nothing is impossible.” We feel that that should be so in youth, and yet here is the problem in our midst. “It gives you absolutely nothing to work on,” said one of their Leaders to me recently, a man who numbers photography, book-binding, carpentry and music among his own hobbies, and does them all extremely well. “They’ve no conception of taking the initiative themselves or doing a spot of work for the pleasure of it.”

What are we going to do about it? The gospel of “work for the pleasure of it” isn’t an easy gospel to preach to the young. You have got somehow to kindle the spark of enthusiasm in their minds first, that enthusiasm which can make everything seem well worth doing, even the hard bits, for the sake of the end in view. And it is the enthusiasm of the Youth Leaders from which the boys have got to catch their own tiny spark which, once alight, may well kindle into a flame. And it will be worth it. For they can learn more from intelligently working at a hobby than from almost anything else. It develops patience, ingenuity, alertness, self-mastery, helps them to discover their own hidden powers, teaches them the satisfaction of a good job done, widens their knowledge in a thoroughly practical way.

But we have no business to leave it all to the Youth Leaders. There is no easy time ahead for the boys of this generation and it is every man’s job to lend a hand where he can. The best place is in the home. If you are a keen woodworker, then try to interest your boy as well. Don’t just hustle him out of the way because you are in the middle of a job and don’t want to be interrupted, or are afraid he will meddle with your tools. Teach him how to use them; help him with some little constructive job of his own, if it is only to make a “safe” — as a small boy of my acquain­tance did recently — to keep his secrets in! Small boys are usually keen enough. It is the older ones who grow apathetic. And who knows if the blame can be put entirely on the pictures? Mayn’t it be that we have hustled them out of our way rather too often? Dared them to touch our tools when they were simply longing to try them? The impulse to do and to make things is there right enough. But these are days when it needs to be fostered.

Charles H. Hayward, “Work and Pleasure”, The Woodworker, 1942.

Cutting and Fitting the Tenons | The Cabinet Project #15 | Free Online Woodworking School

Filed under: Tools, Woodworking — Tags: , , — Nicholas @ 06:00

Matt Estlea
Published 3 Sep 2020

Cutting the tenons is a fairly easy and forgiving process, mainly due to the fact that 90% of the joint is hidden within the mortise. However this concept is only true if your marking lines are accurate, so make sure they are accurate!

The saw will not cut straight. Stoning the saw may fix it, so here is how to stone a saw. I use a diamond plate for tonight the saw but a whetstone will do the same. once you understand the basics it is a very quick and easy procedure to stone the saw.

Don’t Use Pallet Wood!! USE THIS INSTEAD…(Cull Wood Vs. Pallet Wood)

Filed under: Woodworking — Tags: — Nicholas @ 02:00

The Honest Carpenter
Published 2 May 2020

Pallet wood projects have been all the craze for a while now. But, in general pallets are very SUB-PAR lumber, and they have other problems associated with them as well! There is a much better option out there: CULL WOOD. This short video from The Honest Carpenter will compare the two: pallet wood vs. cull wood.

DON’T USE PALLET WOOD!

Pallets are typically pine or oak, but they’re inferior grades of that lumber. They’re shaggy and the end grain splits. Not to mention that they’re full of nails!

To work with pallets, you often have to break them down. But, the spiral shank nails don’t come out easily. Then, you might have nail fragments in your lumber, which can damage your saw blades, or harm you.

Also, pallet wood is not as thick as most dimensional lumber (it’s usually only 1/2″ to 5/8″ thick). And, pieces are typically only 3′ to 4′ long. So, you have to work around these dimensional limitations from the beginning of a project.

Also, pallet wood sometimes contains dangerous insecticides, such as METHYL BROMIDE!

AVOID PALLETS MARKED WITH THE LETTERS “MB” OR “EUR.” THEY’VE BEEN FUMIGATED.

Even non-fumigated pallets may have had chemicals spilled on them during shipping. And, pallet wood is never actually “treated” (with a fungicide), so they will eventually rot outside.

CULL WOOD IS THE SUPERIOR OPTION!

Cull wood is wood that has been pulled off the shelves at lumberyards because it isn’t quite up to salable standards. In many cases, it will contain only minor defects.

This wood is often marked down 70%! In some cases, you can even get it for free…

Also, cull wood comes in all varieties and dimensions. It is actual lumber–the same kind you would typically use for projects. And, it won’t have contain nails or spilt chemicals.

Thanks for watching the video!
