What's a Wood Carvers Screw? (and how do you use it?)
HTML-код

- I've been more into wood carving lately and so have been looking for ways to hold my carvings steady while I work. I came across the wood carvers screw, a large (sometimes smaller/sometimes bigger) screw which screws into your work and uses a wing nut to tighten against another surface.
It can be frustrating to look for a carving clamp or some kind of hold down for your woodcarving and I think this is a more stable and more versatile clamp than most.
I bought the wood screw here - www.fine-tools.com/spannsto.html

I really need this thing. Thank you for showing me how they work! The upright carving stand was brilliant!
Well I'm very glad it helped!
I love it. Watching your set ups, I can see that you may be able to use various blocks to hold the carving at different angles as well. Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure, I'm glad you were able to get something from it!
BRILLIANT! Been wondering how to use these, love the vertical setup. That's a back saver!
Thanks David, I'm glad it helped. Oh yeah my back has thanked me many times haha
Thanks! That's cool! I was just thinking the other day, there must be a better way to hold this piece so I can quickly get at different angles - and there it is!
Well I'm glad I could help!
Just ordered this one from the German website - costs £30.80 in all, most of it being in postage - couldn't find this one anywhere on uk sites, Clint is right, its the simplest and best - saving £15 on the only one I saw on UK site. Thanks Clint for showing how it works, everything else too clumpy.
Thank you so much! I received a carving screw in an auction box of tools and and didn’t know what it is for or how to use it. You video was very instructional. Thank you and good luck with future projects.
Thank you David, I hope you can put it to good use!
Thanks so much for a great explanation about what a carving screw does!
No problem 👍
Great stuff, I saw one at £45 - very glad there's cheaper ones out there! Thankyou, well explained and filmed.
Thank you Sheila I'm glad you enjoyed it! I still have that screw, it hasn't let me down yet!
Oh,...now I need to get one! Thanks for sharing. Love your adjusting carving stand as well!😊
You won't regret it! My pleasure, thank you for watching
Always interesting to learn about a new tool/jig, Thanks 👍 😊
Thank you and yes I agree!
Really nailing down this carving business timber, very nice.
Cheers carver, thank you very much! 👍
Thank you for sharing this!
Very interesting tool! Thanks for sharing
Cheers Grant, my pleasure!
Helpful. Thanks.
Excellent video Clint and a perfect TN :)
Thanks a lot Stephan!
I use a hanger bolt and weld a square nut to flat steel bent like the handle and drill and tap to accept the machine thread
Sounds like a good idea!
Excellent video. A few points that might help others: Notice that the thread for the butterfly or wing (the bar that you spin down to tighten the work) is coarse. This is good because it means you can setup and adjust the work quickly. Some bench screws have fine threads for this, which I find tedious. The coarse threads (that go into the wood) shown in this video I find don't work well for cross grain. One can only sink a thread or two before penetrating too deeply into the work. The only modern screw I've found with fine threads is from Two Cherries. Unfortunately, some of them have coarse thread for the butterfly (good!) and others have fine threads for the butterfly (annoying). I wish I knew of other options because almost all of my carving requires cross-grain holding. Maybe some of this was mentioned in the excellent video and I missed it. If not, maybe it will contribute to the discussion.
Thank you and that is awesome! Thank you for adding that information, I learnt something and it'll help future viewers for sure
As usual Clint, good job - very clear and informative and entertaining, well-made vid. Thanks mate. I wonder what's so great about the fancier tool that makes it five times more expensive - that one looks perfectly serviceable. Oh well... Thanks again.
Thank you Mark, I always appreciate your input. I honestly have no idea but then I've only been using this for a couple of weeks or so, so....hopefully it lasts! Look forward to your next one mate!
👍
This whole vid is screwy! Just kidding. honestly I hadn't even looked at these before. Very cool my friend!
Haha! Thank you sir! The dad jokes are strong in you!
Only a screwball would know. 😉👍👍👌❤
A power tool and Clint, is he moving over to the dark side 🧛♂️
Hahaha! Maybe just a little bit Steve!
I'm watching this in school because I haft to
But very interesting thanks
