We hung this feeder outside my home office window day before yesterday and put reflective film on the glass so they can't see in well. That allowed me to get right up to it with my phone. We filled the feeder with homemade sugar water, which works much better than commercial nectars. He's about the size of my index finger.

Al Breed Turning Table Leg Rough Edit
Great, simple instructions. I have a Stanley No. 80 "Sweetheart" cabinet scraper with the blade just the same size as Mr. Lowe's. The new, replacement blades, whether from Woodcraft or Stanley, are shorter and have a bezel only on one long edge only. Meaning since they sit flush with the angled cast iron bed for the blade and do not protrude above it. So, you cannot sharpen both long edges as that would flatten the one resting on it when you tensioned the blade against it to scrape.
Nice, much clearer there than Chelmsford.
The wrath of our Heavenly Father GOD is almost here, repent of your sins in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and put your faith in Jesus Christ only. The only one who can save you from death is Jesus Christ The Son of GOD, every knee will bow to Him. Our Lord Jesus Christ is coming soon. Time is running out. Matthew 24:3-14 3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” 4 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many. 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. 9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. 10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. Everything written is being fulfilled. Revelation 12:1-2 1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: 2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.

I love my trail tracker! I take that thing on all kinds of trails
Hi Steve, Thanks for the video. How did you find the handling of the trailer? At 28 kg (62 lbs), it seems pretty heavy. Did you have trouble setting off or when braking?
Does anybody know if Blackburn tools is still in business?
Forest murderer!!!!!
Very well done.
Shows how much we enjoy the sound of Paul and his own tools now.
Is it possible to burnish the edge of a card scraper, where it will not gouge fine lines on, say, a shellac finish? I like to flatten the second last application with a scraper when French polishing. I have avoided using a burnisher because the imperfections on the edge are visible when scraping a top coat. Without a hook, the scraping is slooooow. But maybe you have a method to create a hook that is uniform along the edge.

I can only imagine the work that has come off this bench in the last 11 years...(Really nice looking bench, it would be fun to know how many Roubo benches have been inspired by Mr/ Schwarz's work) .Building mine was certainly a great entry into handtool woodworking. There was a very good shot of the sliding deadman (is that a Delta Blues tune?) in the first part of the video....I'd like to offer that I had a 'solution' different than I've seen elsewhere. I made the track it rides on stop a few inches shy on the vice end, as one seldom needs a support right next to the vise. That allowed me to omit the large dado at the top of the deadman (and the deeper grove it rides in under the benchtop), which to me is more attractive. Couple other things....NEVER get linseed oil or anything else into the dogholes....it will ruin the holding for a couple weeks while it dries (you can guess how I know that). In 2021, you can now get malleable iron holdfasts from Crucible Tool (Lost Art Press) that are 1" diameter and are a dream to use. I moved my Gramacy ones to the sawbench where they are rather handy....and enjoy the Iron ones very much....I would not want to be without them. If you want to learn to use a handplane and are looking for a way to practice....buy some reclaimed wood from Craigslist and bring it to square/thickness with hand tools....you'll have a good few sacks of shavings to take camping for fire-starters too. Great way to stay warm in an unheated shop as well. -Veteran '66-68
Neat idea with the tool roll set-up. However, the bench has to be cleared to get it all out. Far better to have a sharpening station set up and always accessible - space permitting of course. Which proves the point, where sharpening is concerned, each to their own as long as it works.
Yes, the fixed station is the ideal solution. I needed a portable solution, since I demonstrate at the New England-area Lie-Nielsen Hand Tool Events. My previous portable setup was too bulky, heavy, and complicated. I already have enough other stuff to lug around!
These Duosharp stones are hugely underrated. The fine stone (red) cuts like a dream and the extra-fine (green) polishes and gets finer with age. And unlike messy water stones they don't need fussy, obsessive flattening every time. This method will obtain a razor edge with a minimum of fuss.
You do realize most dogs are lactose intolerant. Yours might not be but it doesnt hurt to be safe.
I just can't make this work. I have watched and followed instructions from half a dozen "experts", all of whom offer somewhat different methodology. I have purchased a "real" card scraper and burnishing rod (from Rockler), and find the rod does almost nothing at all to push/pull/stretch/whatever the metal on the scraper whether I use substantial pressure (as demonstrated by Mr. Lowe here) or "not much more than the weight of my arms" (a-la J. Katz-Moses). I end up using a lot of pressure with the back side of an old chisel to create a burr, but have yet to make anything but dust with it. I find it hard to believe that I really need to invest hundreds of dollars into 6000- and 8000-grit water stones (or similarly expensive sharpening systems) to bring my card to a microscopically polished and perfect square edge. After all, the craftsmen who used these tools on a regular basis 150 years ago had no such thing, and they seem to have gotten by. In fact, I saw one video where the guy brought up a useful burr just by scraping his edge along a file. (I couldn't even do that! How pathetic am I?) And Paul Sellers seems to be able to do this with practically any old tool hanging around his shop: pliers, nail sets, steely grey hair, whatever. I am beginning to entertain ludicrous conspiracy theories ("It's all just a way for the Portuguese to sell inferior steel as scrapers!") and am on the verge of giving up, throwing away all reminders of this wasted time and money, and resigning myself to life as a second-rate craftsman relying on ("Gasp! Say it isn't so!") sandpaper. Siiiigggghhhh...
I’m not sure if I can help you but I have an idea of what might be causing your problem. A lot of card scrapers when manufactured are shear pressed to size which can cause the edge of the scraper to be slightly tapered on both sides. My recommendation would be to files off about an 1/8” of the edge to remove the taper and be left with two 90 degree corners front and back. Then you can go about using water stones and a burnisher to refine that edge and create the hook angle. I hope this helps you. 😊
Similar frustration here. I even purchased the Woodsmith jig, which was junk. I just make dust. I have not purchased an expensive "burnisher", but I have used a drill bit or screwdriver and nothing seems to work very well.
Does an end vise come in the book. I want to purchase the book but not if it doesn’t.
Where are you actors getting your theory re; mass?
This man is really a master in woodworking. I can do a whole lot with wood, but what this man does make look like a piece of cake is in reality very, very difficult to do by hand.
It is only difficult when you are starting out. You cannot expect to be able to do it with no skills built up. Make a dovetail 100 times and you will feel confident doing it and do it 1000 times and you will feel like an expert. It is the same with everything else but here is the thing you may find that you are better at certain things and then focus in on them and make them central to your work.
What is a cobalt scraper... saw this recently and where would you get one❓
What is the width of that blade?
Hard to do. I gave up. Back to the power sanders.

Hes using a file without a handle dangerous i thought he was a expert
The crochet AND the vice look a bit overkill there.They are in each others way.Holdfast holes are too snug ,they are fighting you.
I wish I could play a guitar like that.
Супер.
Steve, have you ever thought about filing your fingernails just a little bit?
Got Stanley blade at 45 degrees and razor sharp. To bad my new burnisher doesn't have 30 degree cone as I think I am rolling the burr to far over. If the blade edge is razor sharp then how much pressure is needed for the burr as I am going pretty hard and although I get a burr it is dull as heck. After 5 attempts I am doing something really wrong for as mentioned the blade was razor sharp pre-burnishing.
This is a gem. There is no other video of Paul in action under pressure like that. Classix. You won't see any other shows from him either i suppose
How much is a slab ?
Steve, did you work at a college in South England about 9 years ago?
Great vid are you still using this method
Thanks! Now I use a variation of this, essentially a hybrid of double-bevel and convex bevel methods. I form a double bevel, but freehand with a very slight convex bevel. The problem I ran into teaching people how to do the convex bevel was that sometimes they would come up too high on the draw back, so the angle of the cutting edge would be 35 degrees or more. The hybrid method, starting out with angle blocks to train your hands to the angle, avoids that. If you search for "close grain two stones and a strop" you'll find the blog posts and video I did of that.
Steve Branam thank you for quick reply

Everybody wants the over rated over priced Walnut but, my solid Birch cabinets look GREAT!
Point on the burnisher was new to me...excellent video, sharpening scrapers consistently can be difficult but this is explained very clearly.
do you know what the binder is in those ohishi stones? Not alot of info about them. Do you like this over Shaptons?
I don't know. My understanding is that they are a ceramic stone. I don't have enough experience with Shaptons to compare them. But I do really like these.
@@stochasmvid thanks...so you had good overall experience with the Ohishi stones ? I am going back and forth between these and Shaptons. I have 4 grits of dmt dia sharps, I just want the water stones for polishing sort of like what you've done here. Lie Nielson recommends these Ohishis but like i said very little info on them. thanks again for the response.
@@jc51373 Yes, I've always had excellent results with the Ohishi stones. They do an excellent job. The difference between them and Shaptons is probably too fine to measure. So either one should do well.
Beautiful rain on that tree. Was it taken down roadside or was it cut to sell? It looks a healthy tree. No rot.
