    Frank, I'm one of those guys who only use pull saws... But I wouldn't say that. I only use them because my shoulders won't let me use a push saw... It hurts a lot. 😕
    Anyway, fantastic work! 😃

    • @mikeandlucky
      @mikeandlucky 8 месяцев назад +2

      I hate admitting this, not sure why, but I get much better dovetails with my $45 pull saw than I do with a very expensive western saw that I saved up to buy. I know it is for sure me as opposed to the saw, but I really love the pull saw.

    • @MCsCreations
      @MCsCreations 8 месяцев назад +2

      @mikeandlucky Many times the issue with western saws is the sharpening or the setting... You know?
      While Japanese saws you never touch it and new blades are pretty cheap, so... I'd say it's less of a headache from this point.
      But I have issues with both my shoulders, really... So I can't use western saws either way. 😕

    Made mine by milling a piece of aluminium angle. Accurate to 5 microns, and took less than 5 minutes. Simplest machining job going, and more durable than wood. Made a Shawn shim while I was at it...

    @robohippy 7 месяцев назад

    Okay, I ask questions no one else does. I just saw one from Lee Valley, and it is same as yours. I have been pondering making one of these for a long time. I think there is one thing wrong with the design. To me, the piece that goes across the end grain should have the same angle as the tapered side. A straight up and down mark/line won't exactly match up.... Comments???

  • @derekcohen1000
    @derekcohen1000 8 месяцев назад

    Frank, I wonder how long that template will last? The grain direction you have chosen (cross grain) is weak and vulnerable to breaking off.

    • @FranksWorkbench
      @FranksWorkbench  8 месяцев назад

      Not sure, it certainly could. Flipping the orientation 90 will still have the same weakness so if/when it does I will probably make one with joinery connecting the two sections

    • @derekcohen1000
      @derekcohen1000 8 месяцев назад

      3/8" may be fine. Just as long as no one is tempted to make it thinner than this. Aluminium angle is good for these templates.

  • @christopherreiss1320
    @christopherreiss1320 8 месяцев назад

    Just curious... how do you like that Woodriver block plane? I looked at one a few weeks ago and like the design of the cap. I was wondering if there was a lot of tuning to do and how the blade holds up.

    • @FranksWorkbench
      @FranksWorkbench  8 месяцев назад +2

      I like it, after sharpening its good to go. the blade on that one has been good and I'm still using the stock blade, but I ended up replacing the blades of the other wood river planes bc they wouldn't hone very sharp, they'd get chippy right at the edge when it would get super fine. So not sure if I just got lucky with the blade on the block plane one or what.

    Is 3/8" thick enough to prevent the template from snapping in half along the wood grain?

    The dovetail is the ONLY way ? when tested it is not the strongest

    • @ВсеволодПан-к8л
      @ВсеволодПан-к8л 6 месяцев назад

      It's definitely not the only way and maybe not the strongest one. But dovetail joints are very tolerant to glue failures because in fact they are a mechanical lock of two wood pieces and glue is just an option not a necessity.

    • @seanfaherty
      @seanfaherty 6 месяцев назад

      I hear you. These youtube tests methodology shows splined miters the stongest. in my experience dovetails or box/finger joints don't break when you drop them and miters do @@ВсеволодПан-к8л

    "They would be wrong."
    Dovetails are a fine way to join timber at an angle, and it's great fun to have them go seamlessly together, but they certainly are not the only way or even the best under some circumstances. With that, I'm outta here. Bye!

    • @FranksWorkbench
