Hi, I’m Emily. Welcome to my channel Square Tail Wood! I always want to design and make something simple but elegant with practical functions. I am starting out with simple tools. If I can make it, you can! I’ll share my woodworking journey and maybe a little mom life. Thanks for watching!
Woodworking Sharpening Session For Beginners
This is my sharpening session once a while. I usually sharpen several dull chisels and hand plane blades all together. Mostly following Paul Seller’s method, I’m using a cheap version of sharpening setting. Hopefully it’s friendly for beginners.
Thanks for watching and happy making!

Make a Chisel Rack in a box
Просмотров 7414 дней назад
This is a super small project for organizing my chisels and hand plane blades. I think keeping them in a box is safe in case kids are around. A rack for the blades helps protect their blades and sharp corners. A small scrap wood and some basic hand tools are all we need. Thanks for watching, and happy making! 00:00 Cut to length 00:16 Mark chisel positions 00:29 Cut chisel slots 01:05 Put chise...

Thank you for sharing, this looks like a great project!
Thank you for being so kind. My original plan was uploading a video about fitting a vise onto the new workbench, but I lost some footages. I'm still adjusting to my new camera too. If there is any project idea you're interested in or would like to watch, please let me know! Thanks!
Poor video. never showed us how they made those cut. Anyone can pound a board on top of another board.
Haha, honestly I didn't do a good job showing the details. I was all focusing on making the frame, and totally forgot to adjust the camera. If you are interested in the whole building process, please check the following video: ruclips.net/video/6B0e3xkNqrk/видео.html.
I really love wood working. I love everything about it. To see these perfect joints coming together, it was pretty dang satisfying 👍
I'm so happy to read your comment. I feel the same way about woodworking. It is so satisfying to make something by hands. A few hours of woodworking every week makes me feel so peaceful, leaving all the screens and socialization behind.
There is a ton of information out there on building tables, and techniques that have been used for a thousand years. i would study up first and save yourself disappointment, time wasted. I take it with this video you want to demonstrate how not to do it.
Thank you for your comment. Honestly when I was making the workbench, I didn’t expect it to be wobbly (being too confident). I had no time to fix it and no other backup project. Thinking about documenting my learning journey on woodworking, I uploaded the video. Yes, there are tons of information out there, but I still failed that time. I think that’s the interesting part of crafting. Maybe I know some of the mechanisms, but the actual result is not always the same as in my mind. Thank you for thinking my video that way. Yeah, that’s what I was trying to do under limited time and ability.
👍
Came out great! I like the stair treads for the top and aprons.
Thank you! I tried to glue up 2x4s, but it was too difficult for me to plane the whole bench top. I tried to glue up S4S 1x4s, but still the top surface was not flat. Those 2x6s have knotted surfaces. If choosing plywood, I need good quality sheets and ideas to cover the edges somehow. I’m really happy with these stair threads. They costed me about 14 dollars for each. Just think about how strong these are and come with beautiful surfaces! Thank you for checking up my video! Let’s keep up the work!
@@SquareTailWood That's a pretty hard price to beat for a nice flat surface!
Great job, looks like it’s going to be a great bench to work on!
Thank you! This workbench should be very strong, yet still be able to move around. I’m so excited to work on it!
Great job!
Cool! ❤
Thank you!
GLUE SCREW AND BOLT Yea that joinery looks cool and it’s good for furniture but it’s weak. You know what’s not weak? GLUE SCREW AND BOLT!!! Glue screw and bolt. Much faster and stronger especially is you glue and bolt a little triangular piece to each corner. That’s how I made my wooden Armwrestling table. It doesn’t move or bend or flex ever and it’s been like that 5 years strong. In a humid garage all the time it should loosen a little bit… nope! I use it for sawing with my strong ass western push saws that don’t get dull real fast like those backwards double sided things you use.😂😂😂get a man’s saw and do it the right way. Glue! Screw! And Bolt!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I definitely want to try western saws in the future. Personally I believe in the strength of wood joints. I will add glue to the joints soon, and we’ll see its performance in the workbench. Your armwrestling table is very impressive. We have a wood frame supporting a wisteria tree in the yard. It was built using your method with screws, bolts, and some triangular pieces to support the corners. It’s very sturdy and has lasted for years. Thanks for your comment!
Nice video - I really like the Mortise and Tenons and love that you used inexpensive hand tools too!
Thank you! Me too! The joints are so strong when they’re tightly fitted. And the tools are cheap and can do a very good job for me!
Great work, thank you for sharing!
Thank you! I’m working on the workbench. It turned out to be a little slow.
Looks fantastic, might give this a try.
You work so hard on this channel. Good quality videos, no BS, good music, and consistent uploads. I hope you get the attention you deserve.
Thanks! Really appreciate it! Fingers crossed.
Love it! Slightly off topic, but what's your method for sharpening your chisels?
Haha, it’s slightly off topic. I’m still thinking about fixing my workbench first. I’m using the cheap diamond stone set from Amazon. They work fine for me. I tried water stone, but it’s really slow on sharpening the blades for me. I got a nice diamond stone recently, which I haven’t tried it yet. I definitely recommend diamond stones. I mostly use a honing guide for the blade angle. But Paul Sellers’s free hand method works really fast. If you’re just starting out, I recommend the following I purchased: (Hope they are not too overwhelming) Jewboer 4 Pieces Diamond... www.amazon.com/dp/B0BGDBYB8L?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share Saker Honing Guide Tool Upgraded... www.amazon.com/dp/B0CB5P6SK1?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share BeaverCraft Stropping Leather... www.amazon.com/dp/B07941KX8R?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share Smith's HON1-4oz Honing Solution,... www.amazon.com/dp/B0013AXUOY?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
@@SquareTailWood holy moly, thank you for the detailed reply and the links! I need to give diamond stones a try. The sandpaper method gets expensive and it doesn't seem like it sharpens as much as I'd like.
Love it and the music bumps too, nice
Thanks! Haha, I didn’t realize there are so many bumps in the music. I’ll keep the background music low in the future. 😂
Thanks for that video, something similar happend to me a while ago. We are all learners
Thanks for sharing your experience! Yeah, mistakes are part of our learning process. I will figure it out and fix the bench!
Great video! We're both using scrap wood in our projects so it is even better. Stay safe and keep uploading!
Thank you! It feels so good to make something useful out of scrap wood! I think it’s the hidden beauty of woodworking. Just subscribed to your channel. Keep up the work and be safe! I’ll keep watching your videos!
@@SquareTailWood thank you
Ha don't worry it does happen to all of us! Great video. I'll be watching your channel to see how you'll fix it :D
Haha, it was a little frustrating when seeing the bench wobble like this for the first time. I’ll figure out how to fix it and upload another video later. Thanks!
@@SquareTailWood I’m sure you’ll figure it out 😉
I'm interested to see how you go about modifying your bench to make it more stable.
Thank you! I’m still trying to figure that out. When I fix it, I’ll upload another video!
Been holding on to our kids crib seems sad to get rid of it and I do need a stair rail for my loft room❤ hopefully I can make it happen!
So glad to hear from a mom! Yeah, Give it a try! I tried to include all the details in the post. squaretailwood.com/how-to-make-a-sturdy-stair-railing-from-an-idle-baby-crib-side/. If you have any question, leave me a comment here! Good luck! ❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing this demo! Appreciate seeing how you tackle this.
Appreciate you like it! Always really enjoy watching your videos. Just subscribed!
@@SquareTailWood Thank you!
Nice work, like the wood, is that red cedar? Difficult to chisel, but verylight weight
Thank you! I think they’re red cedars. As you said, they are lightweight, which is great for a kitchen stool. As rough leftover lumber from my grandma’s yard fence, the sapwood between the annual rings is kind of soft and not dry enough. So it’s hard for the chisel to get a smooth surface on the end grains. The joints make the stool really sturdy. We can stand on it with no worry. The only problem so far is the stool is a little slippery on the tile floor. Still trying to find a solution here.
Very good! I think you must have scored the wood with a knife before sawing though. I think this is what you did???
Yes, I always score the wood surface along those pencil marking lines, especially on plywood. I think it helps guide the sawing direction. Thanks for pointing it out!
Great video, thanks for sharing your process! You provided a lot of helpful detail for someone wanting to work on a similar project, thanks again for taking the time to produce this!
Thank you so much! Do you have preference on watching woodworking videos? Do you like solid wood or plywood? Do you like hand tools or power tools?
@@SquareTailWood Hello Emily! I work mostly with solid wood...a lot of pine, some Douglas fir and poplar. I also like cherry and want to try Port Orford or Yellow cedar. I like hand tools because they’re quiet and a lot of fun to use. I have been working on learning to use Japanese hand planes and also use Japanese saws. I have a few old Stanley planes but really like the Japanese tools. Keep up the good work, it’s interesting to see you work through things on your videos and I learn a lot by watching!
Thanks for your reply! I’m experimenting with 1/4 plywood because it has light weight and doesn’t need to be planned flat. But I don’t like using hand tools on it. Maybe plywood is designed for machines. I need to practice using hand planes… My reasons for using hand tools are similar to yours. I like Japanese saws. (Haven’t tried western saws though.) They are so easy to use and can give me very good results when I am not in a rush. Really appreciate your reply! Woodworking fellows are the best!
Great video and great job, thank you for sharing your process!
Thank you so much. Really glad you like it!
Thank you for sharing!
Do you have any issues keeping your holes straight when using the brace?
I'm using Paul Sellers' method. First bole the hole from one side. When the auger bit tip reaches out from the other side, you can switch to the other side. Put the auger tip in the small hole on the other side, and start boiling with care. I think this way kind of self corrects the hole's direction, and make the deep hole straight. My effort on making the hole vertical to the surface are: 1) keep my body in the same position and bole with care, 2) adjust my position to help the sides of the auger bit cut the surface evenly; 3) and hold my body in that position. My result is not perfect . But I can totally use the bench top in later projects! Good luck, and have fun!
This is great! I hadn't considered using holes as a way to make the angles quick to setup. I'm going to have to give this a go!
Go for it! So glad you like this idea! If you have any question, just leave me a comment.
Get a real saw
Great hand tool work, looks like it involved a fair amount of precision!
Thank you! That’s true. The ruler slut needs to be vertical to its surface, and fits the ruler. My ruler slot is a little wide. But if I keep the ruler on the inner side, everything works fine. Usually center finder has a right angle, which is easier to make. I tried this obtuse angle just to keep the wood piece small. The result turned out to be good. I think this is the beauty of hand tool working. It’s about to try my best, to accept imperfection and to work it out!
Interesting project and great work, I look forward to seeing it in action!
Thanks! I’m still working on my planing skill. This will help a lot!
Perfect execution, daunting task to achieve on existing thin stock. Many people would have ran it through p!aner/thicknesser & lost 1/2 the material
Thank you! It was a daunting task before I really started cutting. The result was beyond my expectation. The precision saw did a very good job! Honestly, I hope I have better planing skill to get a truly smooth surface.
Amazing work!
Great job!
Finally someone is showing how to work with thin plywood. Thank you!
Nice work!
Nice job, great project! The Japanese saws seemed to perform very well, it looked like all of your cuts were clean and accurate. Thank you for sharing your efforts!
Thank you so much! In this project, cutting those thin but long slots with hand tools was the most challenging part. The Japanese saws were surprisingly handy here! I tried to use chisels and drill at first, but it took a long time and was not very successful. We’ll use this thin plywood box at home and see if it is sturdy enough for storage and how long it can last.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for sharing your efforts, keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for your support! I’m experimenting to make a dovetail storage bin from 1/4 plywood. Let’s check it out next week!
Forstner bit🙄
Thank you for pointing it out. I’ll correct it in the description.
It's a forstner bit
Thank you for pointing it out. I’ll correct it in the description.
Lol... I find it incredible. All these "how-to" videos use a shitty piece of 15 mm thick board and only ever cut straight across and down... Please will you re-make the video and use a piece solid Ash 72mm x 84mm with a routed 28mm round over along one edge and a 15mm dado in the middle of one flat, then hand cut a perfect mitre..😊
Thanks! I like this challenge. Honestly I found it hard to mitre cut for long with hand saws when making a stool. ruclips.net/video/AXUSDXVhJZA/видео.htmlsi=8CNZEVPf8KbVBL2W I need to work on mitre cutting and try your idea later. I’ll upload it as soon as I can get the result.
ابداع👍🏻
Thank you!
This is fantastic! Also, I’m impressed you ripped long/wide boards with a hand saw. I always chicken out on those and pull out the circular saw.
Thanks a lot! It’s so encouraging to hear! I always chicken out on power tools. 😂
What size brace do you use?
Mine is 10 inches long. I got it from Etsy as an antique tool restored about 20 dollars 3 years ago.
Would be great to actually see it demonstrated.
Cool. I’ll try in the future. Thanks!
lol. Haha.
You should try using a pencil sharpener.
Lord have mercy, how do you work with such a dull pencil.
