When I was in school back in the sixties ( when they made the best music) we had single bevel marking knives but I've not seen any about for a long time

You can always regrind and resharpen a double-bevelled blade.

Thanks Graham!

Another critical dimension on winding sticks is even height. When making turn end to end to check for get even heights. Plane to evenness.

Very true.

The centre of an HB pencil is made of graphite, not lead. It might be hard to remove from the timber but it won’t hurt your tools and is not poisonous. BTW, love your videos.

It's true, pencils are filled with graphite, but everybody calls them lead pencils; I still prefer to use a knife or awl to mark fine lines. Thanks for the comment.

Interesting. Got sea sickness with the artistic photography though

It's my fault for moving too fast for my camerman. Hopefully I'll get better.

Interesting as always. What do you think of tape measures?

I still have my father's leather-cased real 'tape' tape measure, but while the modern metal ones are fine for carpentry for cabinetmaking I prefer a boxwood rule.

Thank you, Mr. Blackburn. One type of making gauge you did not mention is the marking gauge that I see named a “mortise and tenon marking gauge”. Why did you not include this option in your review? Do you have a preference against their use?

His name was Mr Sloyd?! lol Sloyd or Slöjd means handiwork done with mostly simple tools. Often useful artifacts. . Sloyd is very much related to "bushcraft". It's a Scandinavian thing.

You're absolutely right. It's just what my shop teaacher told me years ago. Thanks for the correction.

You got the origin of the name of the sloyd knife all wrong. It is derived from the Swedish word 'slöjd' that translates to craft or handiwork. Also, the way English speakers pronounce it is a mess. 😝

You're actually quite correct. My mistake is what I learnt years ago from my first shop teacher.

A bit of constructive criticism I hope will be taken in the spirit it is given. I love your videos and the dynamic way they are being filmed, but the extreme closeups aren't really accomplishing anything. It's akin to having an object an inch from your eyeball 😅 Zooming is better because physical closeups distorts the picture. But I don't think zooming is necessary in your videos (and would probably complicate matters more than help). The absolute closets should be a couple of feet away without zooming and will work as it is done now.

Maybe add in a closeup picture in edit? Like when you show how you've sharpened the HB pencil.
