Rip saw vs bow saw vs ryoba in thick maple
Really just seeing for myself which of these styles of saw I’m more successful with in thick hardwood. My technique with the big bow saw could really use some work!
Rip saw was the fastest for me, but the best cut quality was with the ryoba.

Wrapping a metal plane handle can make the plane a lot more comfortable and enjoyable to use. In this video I show how I wrap and shellac the handle of a Stanley no. 50 combination plane. This technique works just as well on other Stanley, Record, etc. models, such as the no. 78.

Let's take a look at the BT&C Hardware Store Saw and see how it compares to my other dedicated rip and crosscut handsaws. I bought the saw here (no affiliation but I do love this store): www.toolsforworkingwood.com/store/item/BT-HSAW.XX/BT&C Hardware_Store_Saw
Dutch Tool Chest Tour
Просмотров 14 тыс.5 лет назад
Take a tour of my Dutch tool chest. It's a great design that can store a full set of essential hand tools, and can still be moved around. Examples of this design are in Jim Tolpin's the Tool Box Book and Chris Schwarz (Lost Art Press) teaches how to build one in a video available from Lie-Nielsen Toolworks (lie-nielsen.com).

Take a tour of my portable Moravian style workbench! This is a fantastic bench for hand tool woodworkers. It was fun to instructive to build and is an absolute joy to use. Based on Will Myers' research and teaching.

Review of Lie-Nielsen No. 62 Low-Angle Bench Plane
Просмотров 20 тыс.7 лет назад
Quick review of the Lie-Neilsen No. 62 low-angle bench plane. Here's a link for the plane on Lie-Nielsen's site: www.lie-nielsen.com/product/low-angle-jack-plane I have no affiliation whatsoever with Lie-Nielsen. This is just an honest first impression of this plane.
Since most people are right handed, wouldn’t it make more sense to put the vice on the right side?
Great job mate.
You know why the top is on a drop?
Leg vice
I really like your simple demonstration of this work bench. I was wondering just how long it actually does take to unload and assemble? I am curious because , if I was to go to weekend "fairs" and wanted to go and do some work, I would like to assemble quickly and disassemble quickly. I do realize that as time goes by, it would be less and less time. and how would one contain all those parts so that they could be reached for without even thinking about it. I think that if I could build a bench like that, I would want to show it off! lol.
Been looking at this :BT&C for a small tool chest. Have you been using it much over the past 4 years?
Fantastic! The sliding till is so clever! I'm finishing up my own Dutch chest now and I'm so glad I saw yours, now I definitely have to add one. Awesome work!
Handsaw was the fastest one, ryoba slowest.
Looks like a very fine execution. I've considered building one of these.
❤this video, that’s the bench for me 🌞
The toolbox book is a great book. I bought it decades ago included with the companion workbench & workshop trio set from Taunton Press book club. All 3 are pretty easy to find as they have been redone over the years. I always liked the dutch toolchest although I haven't made one.
Great work, thank you for sharing
That is an amazing bench. Regards One Handed Maker
I built this in '21 an really like it, it's heavy enough to stay put, has an Ash top an bits of Oak and Walnut connecting SYP legs and stretchers. The Ash top is only 12" wide x 3.5"thick to save on weight giving me a bigger tool tray, the Vise chop is Oak with a Maple screw. Yes, I followed W. Myers plan on this. I can disassemble, and take it anywhere!
sound check.
Frame saw kerf Is more than twice the width It Is supposed to be. So its cutting slower.
Thank you for this comment. Yesterday morning, I spent some time working on the blade. I hammered all the set out and reset the teeth for a very small kerf. While I was at it I sharpened the teeth and lightly stoned the sides. Cuts MUCH faster now and doesn’t wander like I did in the video. Thanks again for the helpful comment!
Cool chest. I’m looking to build something like that. I like your setup
How far from the front edge did you make the dog holes? 2 inches from the center of the hole or further out?
Trouble is I need a bench to build my bench on!! It looks good.
Great video!
Started building one myself but the shed got filled with usual junk, just getting back to it now and needed a reminder of what the process is, good tour, well built, good job man
Ryoba for sure but you did deviate a lot with the other saws . And I did see many old folks cutting straight with the frame saws.
Yeah, I really struggled with the frame saw. I use my 600mm frame saw quite a lot and haven’t had that problem, but I’m not usually cutting through something as hard as maple or nearly that thick. Not sure what it was but my technique was pretty bad there. Maybe it was the feeling of needing to lay into it to much and not just letting the saw do the work.
Don’t worry I didn’t want to make a bad comment : was more of a discussion :))
Austin, do you recall how thick the pine floor is on the tool tray?
Please Mr Mac Austin, what is the front width and height, the side depth and the rear height? Most people want to always build bigger and bigger, but yours appears to be the perfect size. Many thanks.
Really nice, Mac A. You have convinced me, a total rookie, that I NEED the Moravian workbench AND the Dutch tool chest. Just need to get my skills up before I wreck some good wood. PS: The detail of your presentation skills is on the same level as your woodworking skills... Top Notch☺
Stunningly beautiful workbench you have built there. Congratulations ☺
Must be nice to have the money to buy every lie nielsen tool in the catalog. It's a bit much? For someone who seems to like traditional wood working, I'm surprised to not see more vintage tools.
You’re bench looks great. I’m really thinking about building this model. Right now, we are renting a house with a basement and it would be great to have a workbench I can take apart when we eventually move.
good info. A link to purchase would be great!
simply genius
👍👍👍👍
Nice job building and presenting. After much internal debate, I’m going to build one too. I especially like the slant lid that discourages laying stuff on top.
Hi Mac, i just stumbled into your vid, while researching for a bench design. Thank you VERY MUCH for presenting your graceful adaption so clearly and understandable in the logic of it's beauty! Congratulations... she's a true gem! With best regards from Berlin, Germany Holger
Love the integration of the tool till with the Moravian workbench tool well. Nice!
Pura vida Mac great project can you show more details about that workbench
How is the white pine bottom of the tool tray joined to the dovetail sides? Is it butt-jointed & glued?
How does it handle plywood?
Really wish people would do more practical comparisons. Great video.
Best Moravian workbench I’ve seen on RUclips! Great tour. I’ve searched all of RUclips for explanation of tool tray. Yours is the only tour I found that showed the tool tray up close & how it works! The lower shelf is what makes this Moravian bench the best!
Beautiful, man.
Outstanding job and demonstration.
Thank you for sharing!
Well done. Another internet "wisdom" bites the dust. I use Arkansas stones up to a hard Arkansas 3" x 12", which I bought from Dan's Whetstones in Arkansas. It seems a bit slower than you demo, perhaps 20 strokes, but it is no problem at all on A2. I like sharpening however. I think that those who hate it, have created an overblown hysteria, perhaps? I find that for my woodworking tools, hard is all I need. Sometimes I go further and finish on my Rozsutec, which is one grade finer and it too works ok on A2, but I don't' find merit in any sort of mirror polish for chisels and plane blades - maybe if I were slicing sashimi all day, it might be a different story. I should mention that it took me two other stone bought from questionable sources (Amazon and "best sharpening supplies) before I leaned my lesson. These stones are NOT the same. They are garbage, sold for a high price, but one lower than a reputable source such as Dan's, and sharpening with them is futility itself. Lastly, I wanted to mention that I use windex on my natural Arkansas and the Rozsutec stone, both. Not oil, which seems to bog the process down tremendously. Thanks for putting up this test.
how tall are you Mac Austin?
6’0”
Very nice build. I think this is the first one I've seen that did not have any tools on the underside of the lid. That book you feature at the beginning has inspired many of my tool storage projects. Great book.
Perfect...thank you for this...I was fixing to pull the trigger on the 16k shapton glass🙏
where are youmate ?
There is something about that kind of bench that i find so slick and handsome.
Really beautiful. Serioulsy.
Put in my favourite.
