Liking the brass centre point.

Beautiful work, James! 😃 They could make those with brass as well! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Genuinely cool. Never seen this style of winding stick setup before.

Well this winds uy day.. Tks...

From your antique tools near you link in your descriptions, I found a beautiful stanley #8 that I'm now fixing up. Thank you so much for all your amazing content!

It is an absolute pleasure watching you create. Thank you. Bill & Teri (aka BTMBBQ)

I have memories of my father trying to saw a 1X12 into a 1X8 and his efforts to saw a straight line. It made fair firewood but was shaped closer to a snake's path through a patch of weeds. He was NOT a woodworker -- or any other kind of creator. He could repair most mechanical things but wood and hand tools were totally another nationality to him. Never were able to use that saw again - it had so many kinks and bends in it, it could never saw anything more than a dowel if you were lucky. I have always had a fear that I would never be able to saw anything myself so I avoid handsaws.... Yay, power tools!

Your first winding sticks can be obtained free from Home Depot. They keep them in the paint section. They call them paint stir sticks, 5 gallon (18-19 litre) paint stir sticks. But Jame's Roubo Winding Sticks are way cooler. A great project.

I recently made a set of three. The stands in maccasor ebony as well as one stick in ebony. The other two sticks were made of figured maple. In use not only can I see twist but also high spots easily. It’s a little more work but I think it’s worth it. The aluminum stands shown in your video would have made the project a little faster but perhaps it was best to practice. Greetings from the high plains of Texas.

Those some Paul Sellers-esque straight lines you’re cutting with that hand saw

Hello great video. I bought a Veritas router plane the small blades are impossible to sharpen can you consider making a video on how to sharpen router plane blades I wore out my fingers sharpening them

I made a video on that about 7 or 8 years ago. I might have to make another one here soon that one's pretty hard to find.

@Wood By Wright im going to make a jig with a pocket to hold the small blade in my Veritas Honing Guide the one that came with it is junk

I think im too simple..I stop at the 2 sticks after planing them flat and even with a little bit of sharpie for contrast.. Think that means I should branch out and try something!

I did a cheap trick that I think still uses the roubo sticks principle. I trued up all sides of the sticks, then cut off two small blocks from the ends. I just plonk the winding stick on the two blocks that I cut off. I would install magnets on the blocks and a metal strip on the bottom of the sticks if I wasn't a lazy shit 😅

Does hickory move a lot?

same as most any other wood. how stable a wood is depends on the grain and cut far more then the type of wood.

How true will the wooden sticks be...?? Or would it be better to make them out of a laminate of some kind ???

If you need to be more true then use laser or machines

if the grain is good they will be more then true enough. and when you cut them out of one piece they will go out of true together so in that case it does not matter.

Woops Just fixed it. lddy.no/1cb5t sorry

But then who ever heard of a military man called old oak in the history books

Do you ever regret such cutting up all the time almost like ignoring the old saw ..........

YOU MATTER Until you multiply yourself times the speed of light squared THEN YOU ENERGY ??? So is that a typo ? Shouldnt it be "Then you "HAVE" Energy" ?

that is the joke. the first line should be "You Are Matter" but in leaving out the forms of Be it is cute sounding.
