Sash Clamps on a 1950s Door

As luck would have it Paul Sellers and myself are putting out a video the same day on Clamping. I prefer traditional sash Clamps to Paul's modern ones. But saying that he will get higher Ad revenues due to using Rutland modern clamps, and them being available to purchase.

Even though the first thing he does is tune them and stiffen them up to improve them 🙈

I'm more inclined to buy sash Clamps that have previously been owned and used.

Paul's video is about improving a new product. Where mine is using the Sash Clamps and learning how to get the best from them, on a real project.

Patience, we need to be more patient. I have to be, not only with the Woodworking I do, but with teaching others. And when I'm making videos I have to think about the viewers who might not watch these videos because they're not very patient.

Doors.. They are everywhere and come in all shapes and sizes.

This one has a problem. I'll go into it during the video. You can watch it here

And sash Clamps are the main tools for this fix. But there's so much more to just clamping things up.

To make things a little easier to find, I've time coded this video. Hopefully it will help people search parts of the video and not miss any through scrolling.

Time codes so you can search out the parts of the video that you want to see again.

Record No. 010½ Carriage Maker’s Rabbet Plane - The Phoenix returns from the flames

This plane was unusable when it was first bought to me. You can see the first video here and see the flames around the body Where Robert helps reset the twist. 

The twist in the 'arms' holding the front on was huge.. 2-3 mm out of alignment with the back. It really was in a terrible state. And now it's ready to be put to use.

This video is the final one on this plane until the the one on my shelf needs a re-vamp.  And you can watch me get the final tasks done and use the plane once again here right now

If this video helps you in any way. Please support me with the Super Thanks or Buy Me A Coffee.

Your watching and comments helps, but any extra you can do really does help me make time to make these videos.

Thank you

Yakisugi Wood finish on furniture

A quick video to explain just how much I enjoy Scorching timber. It's such a quick process, but you really have to concentrate on the speed and the depth of the burn. (Well I have too) 

Just a minute and a half of me burning the stool at 10x speed with my thoughts on the process. You can watch the short video here

This finish on furniture is so good. It actually feels so natural, especially on more rustic, unusual pieces.

Will I be doing this again.. Oh yes. The first pieces I did were 6-7 years ago.

You will see more of the Yakisugi process as I get to grips with how I finish it with different Oil finishes.

And an invite to you. 

If you would like to watch the process as it happens, in normal speed, I have made a 14 minute video of scorching the Beech block and the Ash Legs. 

Full video here

Thank you
