This willingness to take the time to make the custom fit planing board is a demonstration of what it takes to achieve superior results. Enjoyed the video and inspiration.
Thanks, Mr. Barron! Patience paid off - your're back! I learn so much from these moments you so kindly share with us. I'm just getting back into woodworking - after a 30 + year "abstinence" and cannot understand what took me so long to return to this rewarding feeling of wood and tools in-hand... I'm saving up for your dovetail guides - to me, the best idea I've seen for quick, accurate dovetails. Mind you, I have yet to make my first cut! :-)
I heard "piston fit" and it reminded me of the story of when my car broke down. A drunk stumbled over to me and asked "what's wrong?". "Piston broke" I said. "Yep, me too!" he responded.
Love the idea of soft close without any metal hardware. Could you mount a small diaphragm to allow the air back in faster so that you can pick the tray up more easily?
Yeah! Great Vid. Much thanks!. I was starting to write and ask about the finish, if it would add some minor thickness, and of course you then used the wax, great idea,. Also, Are you going to mark the tray permanently? instead of keeping the blue orienting dot? And lastly! I love how you "simulated" the weight of tools in the tray...with tools no less! classic.
Long time no see. Pleased to see you back. And again I am learning; from start to finish of the videos, I pick up small things that make a difference. Thanks again
So once you get this piston fit...thats great..but what happens when the humidity where you drag your tool kit is different than the place it lives? Or the season simply changes? Works fine in Japan but in England? Im no match for David Baron in skill..yet ;). I like to leave just a little for expansion and contraction. The wood used makes a difference as well.
Beautiful work. I always look forward to your kind of high quality craftsmanship. Really a dying breed. And who else can get away with a shirt like that...jeez, you look like McDonald's Ham-Burglar or an escaped convict.
davidbarronwoodwork Lol! No! I have a better idea...with your influence and prestige we can make these crazy tops the latest trend in woodworking clothes!
Hi! I just have one question. In the beginning of the video when you plane the sides of the tray, you are using your plane in both directions. Does your wood have exceptionally straight grain or do you have special technique to avoid tearout?
I have a few Japanese planes but the lower bed angle tends to create more tear out in the hardwoods I use. I prefer a bed angle of 50 degrees rather than 38. All the best, David.
You are working from the corners to the middle to avoid tearouts on the ends. But this mean one direction goes against the grain, how you avoid tearouts there?

Thanks Marty
That Bill Carter plane is 😍😍😍😍 ... Great video David, there's nothing like this on RUclips.
That's my favourite.
I learn something new from every one of your videos. The planing board for the tray is masterful.
Brilliant work - so satisfying to watch the tray settle.
Trademark 'piston fit' Grin at the end there.
Stoked to see you back making video's David.
No problem, 6 more videos coming out in the next day or so. All the best, David.

Hi Dave, Good luck with the dovetails! All the best, David.
Great to see the channel in action again!
No problem, 6 more in the next days or so. All the best, David.
Great demonstration and good seeing the new videos. This is just the spark for me to get some new stuff out as well. Thanks David. Steve
Hi Steve, Thank you and I'm glad it has got you back in the workshop! All the best, David.
Great craftsman as someone starting to learn furniture making I can only look in awe
I'm envious of how clean your shop is.
I heard "piston fit" and it reminded me of the story of when my car broke down. A drunk stumbled over to me and asked "what's wrong?". "Piston broke" I said. "Yep, me too!" he responded.
Your care and precision are a joy to watch and (hopefully) learn from!
Thank you!
Love the idea of soft close without any metal hardware. Could you mount a small diaphragm to allow the air back in faster so that you can pick the tray up more easily?
I was thinking what if there is maybe 4 small holes in the corners of the tray? Would it help at all?
Never grow tired of watching that tray almost float.
Waited a long time for new videos, you did not disappoint. Very informative and enjoyable. Thanks David
Thank you!

Best woodworking videos on you tube. Lovely to watch David.
Thank you!
Very informative thanks. Also, your arms are magnificent.
Long time no see. Pleased to see you back. And again I am learning; from start to finish of the videos, I pick up small things that make a difference. Thanks again
I am glad they are helpful.
Thanks for sharing your techniques. You are a true craftsman.
No problem!

Great job David, Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.
It's a pleasure.
another great video. thank you David.
Great video , thank's David
I like that plane thats being used for final fitting of the box.
"Graceful" woodworking, thanks for sharing.
Lovely clean fit, great vid.
when the wood expands in the spring, does the piston fit still work?
Beautiful work. I always look forward to your kind of high quality craftsmanship. Really a dying breed. And who else can get away with a shirt like that...jeez, you look like McDonald's Ham-Burglar or an escaped convict.
Yes I'll choose a quieter top next time!

Hi!
I just have one question. In the beginning of the video when you plane the sides of the tray, you are using your plane in both directions.
Does your wood have exceptionally straight grain or do you have special technique to avoid tearout?
The answer to your question is to not plane to the outside when planing end grain. You must plane towards the inside of the box.
Nice work mate>
David, you recommend Japanese saws and chisels for dovetails, how come that you're not using a Japanese kana?
I have a few Japanese planes but the lower bed angle tends to create more tear out in the hardwoods I use. I prefer a bed angle of 50 degrees rather than 38. All the best, David.
Thanks, it's always a pleasure to watch your videos.

Many thanks.
Great stuff!
Thank you.

The plane I'm using (by Bill Carter) has a higher angle than normal block planes and a very tight mouth!
Fantastic!
Thank you
Це ФАНТАСТИЧНА РОБОТА!Привіт із УКРАЇНИ.

Inspiring!
Thank you!
Damn!
I Googled 'Bill Carter Plane'.... jeez!
