Watching you today, as soon as the weather warms up I really must spend a day sharpening all my chisels. I am not as lucky as you and can only work in a cold garage. My Dad would turn in his grave if he saw the condition of his beloved chisels so that is going to be the first DIY job of this year. You're doing an awesome job and I can't wait to see how the new workshop turns out. I'm quite jealous.
Tim, the sorby sharpening system is the best mate, i have gone through the jurney of the wet wheel sharpeners and have arrived at sorby. My tools have never been sharper and with much less time and effort invested. I do a lot of turning and chisel work so take it from me ,,,,you wont be dissapointed.
Totally with you on sharp tools. I thought my chisels were ok-ish. But first time I got a diamond plate and honing guide! My goodness. Hot knife... butter.. and I’m actually a bit scared of them now. Which is no bad thing, makes you respect your tool and it’s ability to do some damage! Some serious graft going down! Keep it up. 👏
I suspect the reason was that many, perhaps most schoolboys came to woodwork classes with initially little or no respect for tools, whether they were edge tools, or indeed any other kind. I have always believed that if a wooden bench top can damage a plane iron it must be a pretty poor plane iron. Frankly I think its nonsense to believe something which is supported by lack of evidence like this. There is a case for saying that the setting of the iron in a wooden bodied plane can be jolted out ot set if thrown down roughly on a bench but in that case it would matter little whether it fell on it's side or its heel or it's sole, but that's a different matter. So no, I don't think it matters in the slightest how you place your plane on the bench if its safe and cannot be accidentally knocked to the floor, and when we remind ourselves that plane irons are hardened to about Rockwell 58 or so, how is sitting on a wooden bench going to do them any harm ? Just another baseless myth in my opinion, but everyone is free to treat their tools in whatever way they choose and believe whatever myths they want to. My bench planes sit in whatever manner is most convenient. I wonder how the tool/bench nazis place there chisels on the bench... meticulously bevel down perhaps? Let's just do what works for us and get on with the pleasure of cutting up bits of wood and knocking holes in it
A great deal of patience and planning in getting the job done right. Having the right tools and keeping them razor sharp makes such a difference. Can’t wait to see the frame put in place. 😎👍✅
After the pro edge drag the blade over a diy leather strop block with green wax compound on, even better results. Use that also for touching up every now and then. That's what IV been doing for years and it's amazing
Great video as always. Good to see your skill level improving all the time. "Sharp tools are safer tools"! Mr 'Windy' Gale my old wood work teacher always used to tell us.
Just a thought, would a saw cut down the centre of the tenon, allow some 'give' when fitting to the mortice. Further, it would allow for reduced accuracy when creating tenon/mortice joint.
Great video as always. I would love a beer along with the discussion where you talk your thought process through. £300 notes on a sharpener, very nice great job by the looks of it. You can see in the video where the sharpened chisel is used. But you must use a mitre saw more? Still have the £99 one!
Great video Buddy, May I ask, what's the name of your large chisel please? I'm actually just starting a large garden project at mine & installing an outdoor kitchen with big chunky wood, that chisel looks ideal to assist me. I've tried looking but just keep getting 50mm, that looks bigger? Thanks for the video, enjoyed it, along with the others. 😎👌👍
Have you got a strop? A piece of leather stuck to a bit of flat wood ('fluffy' side up). Once you have finished on the sharpener, draw the chisel back on the leather to break the burr; will make a hell of a difference, and you can use it to touch up. Thank me later...
Yes... somewhere, that’s all I ever did during the first frame. Did have a stick of compound somewhere too but will probably only find when I move workshop. 😂 Perhaps I’ll make up another strop for now. 👍
I know not directly related to this video but I’m due to cut green oak sleepers (60 of them) would you recommend upgrading to your big makita circular saw saving having to cut in from both ends? Thanks
I managed years without but it’s probably money well spent especially if sold on after. It’s not a particularly refined makita model but it’s a lot of depth cut for the money. That or a chainsaw.
Did you number them? I think I saw you do that... you should maybe carve Roman numerals on them, they used to do that 300 years ago in barns and buildings. It would add a sense of history to your building... imagine what will be said about it 300 years from now...
I've been umming and ahing over whether or not to buy a pro edge for weeks now (mainly for sharpening turning tools). I'm not sure why you having bought one gives me more justification to buy one, but for some reason it has.
I love watching your channel, I love picking up ideas and tips... I have a question about why you use the Festool to do the cross cut, but the Makita for the eng grain cuts? Are you using different blades or is it something completely different?
I’ve gone off sharp tools at the minute . I cut through my hand earlier on with an angle grinder . Wasn’t too bad tho just a few sterri strips at the local hospital . Could’ve been worse . I wouldn’t mind I’ve only had the angle grinder for 4 weeks it was a xmas present . A cordless makita lxt 4” . I’ll be extra wary next time I use it 🤦♂️
I Just watched the clip very interesting. I am thinking of building an timber frame extension and have no idea how to design it I know what I want and I can build anything I've retired from engineering after 40yr but I've never built a building, so if I can get someone to give me piece by piece drawings of the frame and I could make each component part no problem. You clips are great and you have inspired me if only I had the drawings.
Hi Tim, just for pure entertainment and awesomeness can I suggest you watch Mr Chickadees new video. The man is nuts. Really good watch yet again pal, I really enjoy your work with that slick, I was going to ask what your sharpening method was. Regards Jim.
You could have done a whispering commentary over cutting the tenons, perfect ASMR material - I would have been asleep in seconds, perhaps a bad idea then!
Just for laying out the mortice and tenons, framing square and chisels are all registered in inches so I asked for marking up and testing sizes. Confusing when you’re used to working in metric though. 😀
Can't beat that new tool feeling. Have to buy at least 1 new tool per job!!! Check out ruclips.net/user/KrisHarbour. Hes in the process of building a timber frame building and is a great watch.
@@TheRestorationCouple mustve forgotten that. Been watching you from the start Tim. Looking forward to seeing the workshop go up. Great stuff as always
Did he seriously just say 300 smackaronnies for that sharper, I’d want my chisels to be samurai sharp for that amount of dough, I’ll stick to my mortised wet stone
I charge out my time at fifty quid per hour so every hour I spend sharpening is fifty quid down the drain. Six hours not sharpening and that’s the machine paid for. Makes sense to me. 👍
@@okcantbelieveit294 what you just said makes no sense to me, I takes me 5mins on my £60 motorised wet stone and about the same time on my diamond stone for onsite to sharpen a chisel, Seriously chisels don’t get blunt instantly after use, man up

Very satisfying for a carpenter to watch a chef cutting tenons!
That chisel work is soooo satisfying

The editing of the montage was superb! Great work as always and thank you for sharing
At school we were always taught to leave the plane on its side to protect the blade and help keep it sharp.
Modern electric planes usually have stands that flick out that prevents the blade from touching whatever it's sat on when not in use
I suspect the reason was that many, perhaps most schoolboys came to woodwork classes with initially little or no respect for tools, whether they were edge tools, or indeed any other kind. I have always believed that if a wooden bench top can damage a plane iron it must be a pretty poor plane iron. Frankly I think its nonsense to believe something which is supported by lack of evidence like this. There is a case for saying that the setting of the iron in a wooden bodied plane can be jolted out ot set if thrown down roughly on a bench but in that case it would matter little whether it fell on it's side or its heel or it's sole, but that's a different matter. So no, I don't think it matters in the slightest how you place your plane on the bench if its safe and cannot be accidentally knocked to the floor, and when we remind ourselves that plane irons are hardened to about Rockwell 58 or so, how is sitting on a wooden bench going to do them any harm ?

Always told that as i started out as a chef. Blunt chefs knife on root veg is asking for missing digits! 😬
Just a thought, would a saw cut down the centre of the tenon, allow some 'give' when fitting to the mortice. Further, it would allow for reduced accuracy when creating tenon/mortice joint.
I’ve been coveting that belt sharpener for years, so jealous mate. Look forward to your review although I think I’ve watched them all
Thank goodness for old school, at least I can follow along.
Love to see more on the new sharpener.
Isn't it the middle of the night in the U.K. ? Great for me! One of your videos first thing Sunday morning in Australia, good start of the day.
9:30pm UK time buddy
Little later but keen to get it out and have the day off tomorrow. 👍
These days much of my work around the house is in the kitchen and I am jealous of your sharpener!
Great sharping and chiseling video and lesson in mortise and tenon work
can you tell me what size your Makita circular saw is and the approximate cost also, what pencil do you use?
How have you accounted for the expansion/contraction discrepancy when cross grain tenon goes into with grain mortise?
am curious about this also
Great video as always. I would love a beer along with the discussion where you talk your thought process through.

A leather strop with some compound is what made my sharp edges go from sharp to shaving sharp. Even free hand now.
Yep, must make another up this week. 👍
Where do you buy those beams?
Did you number them? I think I saw you do that... you should maybe carve Roman numerals on them, they used to do that 300 years ago in barns and buildings. It would add a sense of history to your building... imagine what will be said about it 300 years from now...
All numbers and ready to carve the marks in. 👌

great vid as always what make is the sharpener
Sorby pro edge
I love watching your channel, I love picking up ideas and tips... I have a question about why you use the Festool to do the cross cut, but the Makita for the eng grain cuts? Are you using different blades or is it something completely different?
Track saw only cuts 50mm and just used to get a nice square straight shoulder, the less accurate but more beefy makita will cut 110mm.
What kind of timber is this?
Great Video Tim 👏👌🏻👍
Hi Tim, what is the make of the belt sharpener please?
Sorby
Thanks Tim, great channel. You need to slow down a bit you’re making some of us look bad.
2:48 perfectly good tenon , 4:32 needlessly cut into stub tenon
On the plus side, you're not on the roof on that weather 😊
Yes the video is back. A few days without had me worried
Figured I would roll the two days of tenons into one as it was a little bit repetitive as it is! 😀
Question how often you sharpening your chisels
No way near enough in the past, (once a project!) 😬 Now, a little touch up every couple of posts.
@@TheRestorationCouple Do you not have a strop?
I’ve gone off sharp tools at the minute . I cut through my hand earlier on with an angle grinder . Wasn’t too bad tho just a few sterri strips at the local hospital . Could’ve been worse .

I just realized he is using an Imperial combination square. I wonder if its because he doesn't have a metric square?
It’s both. 👍

To be honest also bought a fancy pencil and some ‘podgers’ but more on that next week. 😀
