Youre one of my favorite woodtubers. No nonsense editing and background music (noise), just tool on wood. The saw going through wood is music to my ears!
@@RobCosmanWoodworking I would love to do that but I am from Romania and it's a bit of distance and for the moment I need to find a way to afford it. I enjoy every video of yours and I believe that is a blessing to have such a legacy and tenacity like yours. Congratulations.
A matter-of-fact and kind human being rolled up into a very fine teacher. One day when I have some extra cash I intend to Cosmanize my shop and increase my level of fun and satisfaction. Thank you.
Rob, this is another informative video. For anyone who doesn’t have any of the Cosman Saws, sell what you have, save your money and buy them. They are the sharpest, well made saws on the market. Buy once cry once, you will wonder why you didn’t buy them sooner!!! Also, Rob thank you for all you do for the Veterans and us civilians, some people have no idea how much you do and the wealth of woodworking knowledge you have!👍🏻
That actually really helps. And, I will definitely be ordering one of your tenon saws. The biggest thing I learned is to use the shooting board to cut the tenons. Thanks kindly
Where have you been all my woodworking life (which has been short but intensive)? Thankfully, RUclips put one of your videos in my recommended feed, and I’ve been thoroughly enjoying catching up on many of your videos. I’m gleaning a lot from them that I’m hoping to successfully apply. This one is particularly relevant because I’m intending to do a mortise and tenon project, and I want to do it with all hand tools. Very timely. Hugely helpful and instructive.
I've got a Lie Nielson tenon saw, 11 tpi. It's a beast to get started and I've made a jig to hold it in place to help get it started. I would think your saw excels in tenon cutting compared to the Lie Nielson. Thanks for the video.
You should teach you student when sawing along the grain, sawing a bit then switching the board around back to front, sawing some more, switching it back will make the easier for the blade to not wonder with the grain away from the line you have marked... you do good work.
hey rob, as a fan i have a suggestion or maybe a recomendation,, could you possible make a live edge table? or live edge mixed resin table?? on youtube there is videos with milions of views of someone who is half as skilled as you and i think how imformative you are mixed with your awsome skills would make a massive video and give u the views u deserve,, thanks for all the tips ive learnt
Hi Marc, welcome to! Please email me before you plan your trip to make sure I will be here. Travel is not as intense as it once was but still on the road monthly for about a week at a time.
Correct. Here is a newsletter article on mortise and tenons that has the answer to your question. robcosman.com/pages/newsletter-article-mortise-and-tenon-joints
hi rob, love your vids, have a bunch of your tools. your fingers are VERY close to that razor sharp saw - someone with less than your level of saw-control could make a mess of a finger.
@@RobCosmanWoodworking wow, very snarky reply to what was meant to be a constructive comment, and btw, ive been at this 'hobby' for 45 years, all fingers intact.
Sorry you took that as snarky Alan, I was being straight. If you do not possess the hand/eye coordination to start a relatively small saw without cutting your fingers then this is not for you. Simple. “You” does not have to be taken personally however there are a lot of procedures using sharp tools in close proximity to your digits. You either possess the control or you don’t. In this case I’d rather be “snarky” than “wrong”. Find a hobby that fits your ability, don’t tell a blind person to take up pistol shooting just to be “inclusive”.
Alan, I think your caution is a trifle too alarmist. I'd concede the point if we were discussing using a razor knife to cut through heavy material with a straight edge, and I'll agree that it is not impossible for even an accomplished craftsman to goof and drag a saw across his fingers at an odd moment, but heck, its not like you're working with a remorseless 1HP spinning saw blade. In a tablesaw video somewhere on YT, a long time hobbyist woodworker dragged the uploader over the coals for raising a spinning blade, supposedly violating all common sense rules of machinery safety. No kidding; no fingers anywhere near the table, which was clear of stock or debris. Now, that was just plain silly!

That shallow cut, in the words of Paul Sellers, is called a knife wall. :) Really helps to cut straight. Great video. Cheers :)
Helps a lot. Your videos are like a box of wisdom. I can't imagine how that would it be to have your knowledge in woodworking. Thank you.
HI Adrian, come to one of our 6 day, 15 hour per workshops. I dump that box on top of you!!

Ammed Ismail Hopefully no one reading this knows how much money you owe me! :)

Great tips and especially the advice about sharp tools at the end. I constantly have to remind myself of that so I don't get lazy about sharpening.
Great demonstration Rob, thanks.

Its a bench hook not a shooting board.
Technique and awesomeness. That’s all it takes. May all be 2020 for you.

Good video Rob. I cut my tenons a number of ways. Layout is key and a marking gauge rocks.

You're a wizard, Rob. 👍🏻
Dewd - nice bench hook!
I really appreciate your help and knowledge. Thank you.

I learned this the hard way. Best way i my opinion
Rob's the best, thanks
Great video as allways Rob
I've got to get me a couple really good markers like those.
I'm always amazed at how tight/neat your work is right off the saw. Would using a rabbet plane also work in this scenario?
main idea is to make the first procedure the only procedure.
I love useing a handsaw but i had trouble with presision that helps
Hi Rob. What size cutter head do you recommend? I have a Veritas gauge and the cutter head seems way too small. Thanks for your help.
1/2" is nice. allows for a more acute bevel, easier to penetrate the wood.
hey rob, as a fan i have a suggestion or maybe a recomendation,, could you possible make a live edge table? or live edge mixed resin table??
on youtube there is videos with milions of views of someone who is half as skilled as you and i think how imformative you are mixed with your awsome skills would make a massive video and give u the views u deserve,, thanks for all the tips ive learnt
Hi Tommy, Ill let the other guys do the river tables, not my cup of tea.
@@RobCosmanWoodworking well put, being from the uk i love a cup of tea xD
Hi Rob, I love your videos. Me and my wife want to travel to the east coast. I’d love to stop by and meet you.
To buy a saw in person.
Hi Marc, welcome to! Please email me before you plan your trip to make sure I will be here. Travel is not as intense as it once was but still on the road monthly for about a week at a time.
Okay where is the lazer at the cuts are done almost to perfection 🤔
Thank you for the vid. Is it better to make the mortise before the tenon or the other way around?
Correct. Here is a newsletter article on mortise and tenons that has the answer to your question.
robcosman.com/pages/newsletter-article-mortise-and-tenon-joints
always easier to fit the tenon to the mortise. Mortise is controlled by the mortise chisel, keeps the sides parallel.
hi rob, love your vids, have a bunch of your tools. your fingers are VERY close to that razor sharp saw - someone with less than your level of saw-control could make a mess of a finger.
Sorry Alan but if you cant control a hand saw enough to avoid cutting your fingers then this hobby is not for you.

10 minutes to make 1 tenon , at 100 dollars an hour you would have to take out a mortgage to have Robs shop make you a kitchen table and chairs. lol
Dont do that stuff anymore, unless you are related and then its free.
I find i get away with this using a ripsaw. Dovetail saws are thinner and offer more finesse, but theyre too darn expensive. .
So much work and time to make a piece of wood that goes inside another piece of wood to never be seen again. what am I missing ?
Fun, skill progress, reward afterwards... someone could really keep this list going...
Nick, you must not be a woodworker. We get excited just touching the stuff never mind working it. This is not a destination, this is a journey!
U sh'd cut away (push not pull) from your body. Things happen.
