      I second the notion that this is just plain awesome. I made 2 boxes for like 75 dollars for my grandma. And you can get a couple of manufactured ones for 5 bucks. Earlier I tried hand carved dovetails but those pieces of wood went for a different purpose. Que sera sera 😂

      @Schnekkern  3 года назад +5

      Yes, I like it and use it quite a lot. I guess it is kind of a luxury tool, but I think it is worth it. If I didn’t have one, I might have considered the Lie Nielsen version. I think it is even heavier, which is good in my opinion.
      One of the really good things about this Veritas plane, is that it is very easy to set the blade straight and thus it is not a hassle to resharpen often.

  • @vnvet2282
    @vnvet2282 8 месяцев назад +1

    Im just learning to cut dovetails. Very interesting way of marking the tail boards with the saw. Never seen this done before. And I have not seen anyone chisel out the waste with boards stacked and offset from one another in this manner. Not just the skill involved but the imaginative way this box was made is very impressive and informative. Some people are amazing.

    • @Schnekkern
      @Schnekkern  8 месяцев назад

      I got the idea to mark the pins with a saw from Rob Cosman. I think the stacking of the boards was something I picked up from Chris Becksvoort or Frank Klausz.

    Can we all appreciate how this gentleman's collection of handtools probably cost more than the average persons power tools? It's an incredible show of craftsmanship, but arguably outside the reach of most DIY woodworkers.
    Also, where I come from, firewood for sure does not look like that 😅

    • @Schnekkern
      @Schnekkern  11 месяцев назад

      Thank you!
      I see a lot of much better craftsmanship with lesser tools, but I have to admit that the quality of the tools really help, for me.
      Many of the tools in this video are really expensive, but all my tools are not like that. The old Stanley, for example, was a flea market find many years ago. It does have a fancy blade from Veritas, though. Same is true for several of my saws and other things.
      I purchased the tools over many years, and most of them while my local currency was still strong compared to the US dollar. A little here and a little there.
      One big difference, compared to power tools; My hand tools will probably retain their value much, much better than their power tool counterparts. Because of that, it feels more like an investment. If I need money, I could probably sell many of them for the same amount I payed. Sometimes more.
      There.. That's my self justification :-D
      As for the Birch firewood, there is a lot of it here in Norway. The only hardwood that is very readily available.

      I might make a video, but it is really simple. Just 2 pieces of plywood on top of each other and a hardwoid ”rail“ to ”capture“ the plane. If I were to make it again, I think I might just buy a kit from Veritas that includes rails and a fence.

      These are Veritas Dovetail Saddle Markers. They come in two versions: 1:6 and 1:8. I think the more pronounced 1:6 is intended for softer woods.
      Anyway, they just give me a good angle for the dovetails.

      The hole is for alignment dowels that keep the lid in place. I drilled them before cutting the box in half, since that would ensure perfect alignment. The hole in the top would be covered anyway.

      @Schnekkern  11 месяцев назад +1

      The wood was very dry to begin with. There was an ever so slight warp in the lid now, almost 3 years later. Other than that, it has held up really well! The rived planks did rest a little before being planed, and some warped a little and others were very stable. I think the fact that they are rived almost perfectly «quartersawn» helps a lot. If I were to build something bigger, I would probably leave the rived planks much longer.
