- ⚙️ EPISODE 239: The cream rises to the top, and after three decades there are 5 handtools that are indispensable and tops in my tool cabinet. Besides being well designed and effective, they are simply a pleasure to use. Maybe it’s something only a woodworker can truly understand but I get a good feeling every time I use these tools…priceless! In this episode I show you each of these tools and demonstrate what makes them shine and such a joy to use. (Closed captions)

I watched this with somewhat mixed thoughts-very soon now will be 80.
Shalom from Israel.
I’m so surprised that you don’t have 500K subscribers - I really appreciate all your videos. Thank you!
Shocked to not see a chisel here! Just subbed, I enjoyed it!
Yeah, you’re right, I debated but keeping it to my “favorite 5”, some clearly necessary tools had to be on the fringe. Thanks for watching and subbing! 👍😎
What a great concept for a video. I think about this theme all the time as I approach (or are already in) my senior years. While I don't expect any senior living facility to put up with me bringing hand tools to my next to final resting place, I make sure the tools I buy will be tools I pass down to children that will actually use them. Thanks, Tom.
SPLENDID SIR
Thank you 👍
@@EpicWoodworking WELCOME
I would need a small box of dovetail chisels. Four would do.
You have a good list. Assuming 5 isn’t a hard and fast rule, I’d also like to have a router hand plane and a plough plane. They are also a ton of fun to use.
Tom, love your videos and the way that you present the content. Always good information. Thanks!!
Thank you, I appreciate you watching! 👍😎
Love your videos Tom !
Super!!!❤
And all the sharpening tools to keep them usable. And the bench and vice and clamps.
Oh, and marking out tools.
I have a few more than 5 on my list but one of them would be that Pentel Graphgear 1000 pencil.
thanks
Hi. FYI, non racking vise, HNT Gordon Tools. They also have a neat tail vise. Downside, very expensive. Pro, easy to install.
The bench is used with all 5 tools though... and your sharpening stones... and burnisher... and saw file... and combo square
Yes, lots are actually needed, and lots to choose from but since I had to land on my personal top 5, these are them 👍
I am happy to assume that these more mundane tools will be available in the shared workspace. 😊
Yup, you really need to hang on to that Lie Neilsen low angle block, forever, as they do not seem to be available anymore ... I did find a used one on E-bay for $639.00!!!
Is that true? I just looked on their site and the 60 1/2 is still listed although on back order. That has been a very popular plane for them so I doubt they will not be selling it anymore. www.lie-nielsen.com/products/adjustable-mouth-block-planes-?path=block-planes&node=4072
Never know that Gordon Ramsey do a woodworking so well
Are you saying I remind you of Gordon Ramsey?…that would be a new one! 😎
Какие инструменты я бы взял в дом престарелых:
1. Рубанок № 5
2. Пила Ryoba 240 mm
3. Стамеска 8 мм
4. Коловорот (ручная дрель)
5. Угольник
Havenwood Heritage Heights in Concord NH has 2 woodshops..
That is a fantastic idea for those who still have the facilities!
1) Rasp
2) Drill
3) Hand sander
4) Pull saw
5) Does a Dremel count?
I’m likely about your age. One thought I’ve had should I need to go into assisted living and space is at a premium. That might be time to get into whittling/carving. Minimal tools and a ton of fun.
Yes, great idea! I actually met an incredible caricature wood carver a few years ago and got so interested I bought his book, the carving knife and glove…I haven’t used it yet but getting ready for the assisted living space!
The other issue with this scenario is if I can not bring my workbench to my assisted living why would I bring tools I need for the workbench? Unless it is just a nostalgia thing? Maybe just holding on to memories? If so, that's ok.
That title kind of made me sad. I would never think to put tools and assisted living together. It's so important for older folks to feel useful and connected to their life long passions. A lot of us younger dudes don't connect with the fact that we'll be the old guys one day. Great idea for a video.
