As always, I want to thank you so much for stopping by the channel and taking the time to tune in to the show. It is very much appreciated.
I really enjoy your tip videos... Thanks for taking the time to for us what you do...
You're very welcome Joel. Truth be told, it's very easy for me to invest as much time as I do in the show. I truly enjoy what I do, even if it is just a hobby. Thanks for tuning in sir.
I knew a few of these already as I watch a LOT of woodworking vids. Still learned something new to add to the arsenal though. Thanks Ken. Good stuff as usual!
Glad that you could take something positive away from the show Glenn. Thanks for tuning in.
Another good one Kenny. Thanks.
You're very welcome Jim. Thanks for tuning in.
Awesome, really liked no 4 very clever!
Glad that you liked it Newton. I hope you will find it useful in your shop. Thanks for tuning in.
Kenny, 5 great tips. Yep, I enjoy these shows too. Thanks for passing on the information.
Glad that you liked the show Paul. I appreciate your dedication to the show. Thanks for tuning in.
Great tips again Kenny.
Glad that you liked them Mark. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
Another great show Ken! Was using a card scraper today and will look into making Tip #5 in the near future. Thanks again, take care and stay healthy.
Glad that you enjoyed the show Earl. Good luck on your scraper holder build. It's a lot easier on the hands than using them bare. Thanks for tuning in sir.
Good one Kenny , Always good to learn from you.
Glad that you enjoyed it William. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
Great tips Ken! I use the tip with the ruler quite often. It goes much further than that though, you can divide the work by any number of divisions just by picking a setting on your ruler that is divisible by the number of divisions. Thanks for the movie Ken!
Good point on the division of board Frank. I forgot to mention that in the video. I'm glad that you chimed in with it. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
Once again an excellent video. Thank you for the card scraper tip, if at all possible I have always avoided using them. Having had my right hand damaged in an accident I found it painful: not any more!!!!
Well I hope that this little jig helps you Piet and that you are back to card scraping in no time flat with no issues. Thanks for tuning in to the show this week.
I haven't yet got to the point where I need to use a card scraper, but when I do I will certainly make a holder like that. The diameter measurement was a new gem for me.
Glad that you were able to get something out of the show Barry. If each viewer can find one of the tips useful, then the show was a success. Thanks for tuning in.
Nice!
Glad you liked it William. Thanks for tuning in.
Thank you again for a great video. Can second the masking tape tip, I use it all the time. Especially handy if you don't have electrical tape...
Kidding! I reckon you left your seat. 🤣🤣🤣 Just having fun with you... Lol
Glad that you liked the video Colleen. Thanks for tuning in and for the chuckle. It's much appreciated.
Ken my main woodman Reelin the feelin of watchin you makin-- stuff
This has been the grooviest comment of the day. Peace. LOL. Thanks for tuning in Peter.
Always a pleasure to 'drop by your shop' and learn! Great way to enjoy my Tuesday morning coffee. Haven't ever used a card scraper but I have a project in my sights where I can foresee wanting to use one. So. a very timely tip!
Enjoy your day!
I'm glad that I can be part of your Tuesday morning ritual. Thanks for tuning in to the show and good luck with your scraping.
1 thing I have always hated and that was using a card scraper, I would sand and sand to get a smooth finish, now that Ken showed us how to make a card scraper jig I will have to try it (now I have to buy a set of card scraper for the jig). Ken Thanks for the Tips and Tricks
Glad that you liked it Alan. I have a commercially available card holder that I love but for those who don't want to spend that kind of money on one, the shop made one that I demonstrated today is a great alternative. Thanks for tuning in to the show and taking the time to chime in with your comment.
Perfect timing, using a card scraper quite a bit on a project I’ve been working on and it’s so uncomfortable to use I end up putting it down and just sanding.
Well I hope you make one of these holders and that it helps you out Rod. Thanks for tuning in and good luck on your project.
Card scraper tip to cool now if I could sharpen one I got it made. Thank you.
Here is an older video from the show that demonstrates how to make a sharpening jig for cabinet scrapers as well as how to sharpen and burnish the scraper when it gets dull. ruclips.net/video/Ptgr_aP1lSc/видео.html
I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in to the show this week.
@@acutabove_woodworkings Thank you
@@bill50013 You're very welcome.
First to Comment, Tips and Tricks, Episode 5, I glued up an sub assembly once, and it was put together upside down, but was able to get it apart before the glue set up too long, and reassemble it correctly. All good.
I hate it when that happens!! LOL. Congrats on being the first one to comment on the show and thanks for tuning in.
Keep them coming Ken. There is always something to learn. I've watched others use card scrapers, but I've never had or used one. I never had a drawshave. So I used the straight edge of broken plate glass as a scraper on dried raw cow horns to smooth them down. Same principle I guess.Then I hand rubbed them with #0000 steel wool to a finish where I then could draw on them. Then it was just a matter of hand engraving them or scrimshaw. In the structural steel fab shop we used a framing square and a scrap piece of steel plate to find the diameter of a round object. It is pretty cool how one craft solving problem can be used in another. I wish I knew about the router and hinge trick many years ago. Oh yes! It would have saved me a lot of headaches when I was young man! The measuring across to find the center with even numbers was another I wished I knew. Here is a tip...don't throw away your out of square framing squares. Cut the short tang off, round off the cut ends, drill matching holes in the two pieces. Then insert a small bolt lock washer and a wingnut. Now you have a larger bevel square. We structural fitters and layout men would sometimes make some of our own tools. I'm sure many have done that in their own trade.Take care!
I like the bevel square idea Michael. That's pretty awesome and I may have to use that on an upcoming show. Reading your comment, just goes to prove that no matter how long you've been doing something or no matter how good you think you are, there is always something to be learned from someone else. Thanks for tuning in to the show and taking the time to leave your comment. I truly appreciate it.
Hi Ken! I have commented on lots of videos about the black gas pipe leaving marks. A few decades ago I switched to silver water pipe and never looked back. Only one YTer sent back a reply and that was Jennie & Davis who said they wiped theirs down with Acetone and that killed the black marks. I don't have any black pipe at this point but perhaps you might try that and let me (us) know if it works for you. The real question is why virtually all woodworkers walk into their big box store and buy black pipe. Perhaps if you have a shrink or two in the audience they can let us know that as well. ;o) Regards, Bill
There is no psychologist needed to know why people buy the stuff Bill. It's readily available and fairly inexpensive. That's basically the main two reasons. I will have to try the acetone trick and see what happens. Thanks for tuning in to the show and for chiming in with your comment. I truly appreciate it.
@@acutabove_woodworkings Just curious about why all of us buy black rather than silver. I don't think the silver costs more. Woodworkers must be fans of the Raiders. ;o) Bill
Great tips video Kenny and i knew 3 of them which isn't too bad for me, as for the Imperial comment, what's wrong with a bit of Imperial? 😀
Stay Safe,
Barry (ENG)
LOL. Coming from a metric guy, that's pretty funny. Thanks for tuning in Barry and for the chuckle. I appreciate it.
Just wondering why not use galvanized pipe instead of the black pipe? I don't have a need to have galvanized pipe so I can't try it for myself to know if those black lines would appear with galvanized pipe or not. Or if glue would stick galvanized pipe or not? I use the ruler tip to divide boards often. In addition in your presentation, putting marks on that 6" board at 2" and 4" with divide the board into thirds and it can go on from there to divide into 4ths, 5ths, 6ths, and on and on. Tip though when marking that spot of the board to just put a pencil dot. A pencil line perpendicular to your measurement will not give accurate results if you use the wrong end of the line because the ruler is at an angle. I like the card scraper hack and have seen variations of it in the past. Just need to build one. I guess I don't bend my scraper very much because I usually don't need to take much material off which I guess is the reason for bending it. To be honest I have never heard the reason for bending it in the first place. Always seen that it the way to use it but not the reason. Always like tips and tricks. Thanks.
Some people are moving to galvanized pipes Dwight to avoid the problem with black iron pipe but the black iron is so readily available and fairly inexpensive that it is still the go to for pipe clamps for some reason. Good point on the dot for marking the measurement. Depending on the amount of accuracy you required, a crooked line can make a world of difference. Card scrapers are bent because it allows for a more concentrated and even pressure of the card scraper's burnished cutting surface. A card scraper that is held flat will not give a constant or strong enough pressure to do any real scraping of the wood. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in to the show this week sir. I appreciate you taking the time to leave your comments.
Great ideas! Where can I buy one of those bench clamps you were using in the holes in this video?
I am assuming that you are referring to the quick release wonder dog clamp that I used constantly on the show. This is a Veritas product and is available at Lee Valley Stores and some other woodworking stores. Here's a link. www.leevalley.com/en-ca/shop/tools/workshop/workbenches/benchtop-accessories/74622-veritas-quick-release-wonder-dog?item=05G1030

@@acutabove_woodworkings Thank you!
@@gfotinakes316 You're very welcome.
Where can I get the fixture that you use on your table?
I would like to know the same thing.

@@acutabove_woodworkings Out of stock until Feb
@@imanutnur7 That sounds about right. They have been plagued with supplier issues as of late. Just like most companies, they are blaming the pandemic and side effect from it as the problem. I've had one item ordered with them since December 26 of 2020 and I am still waiting for that one to come in. It's frustrating for sure.
