"You may be wondering why I'm building another luthier's clamp..." James, no one with any sense will question why you need more clamps 😂
Time to get glasses James, mistaking a chisel and a mallet is one thing, coke and hot sauce is a problem
Nothing like finding a nice design and making one of your own with your own wood selection and ideas
James: "You may be wondering why I'm building Luthier's Clamps" Me: ...................As long as I'm not square
Really beautiful work, James! 😃 Pretty interesting kind of clamp! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Really need to make a pair of these soon.
Thanks for this video, Jsmes!
Thank you! James!!!
Thanks James
That looks good.
thanks
My recollection is that the classic formula for danish oil is two parts, boiled linseed oil, one part mineral spirits, and one part varnish.

It really is no classic formula. It's mixtures of all kinds. But it's usually boiled Lindsay oil plus something else usually a thinner and a protectant of some kind
I'll never question anyone when they say they need more clamps. Also I still can't get the feel for western saws, which is weird because its what I (and any westerner) started off with. I use Japanese saws for everything, they just made sense to my brain immediately for some reason.

The Japanese saw is much easier to learn, but harder to control. The western saw is hard to learn as it is very easy to over control.
Thanks.
You could drive a small square peg of the toggle wood through the end and chamfer it into a square to retain the toggles and moving jaw. It would look really handsome and show off the differences in woods.
I'm confused. If the sliding clamp part slides on the wooden bar, then how does the clamp apply pressure? Is there an angle that needs to be applied to the sliding clamp to address the clamping? Why would the sliding clamp not simply slide apart when applied to the work piece?

Your grip straight applies the pressure. The twisting action locks it in place just like a holdfast.
James - may I check with you what plane you are using please, as I noted seems the Zen Wu blade fits that plane very well
@WoodByWrightHowTo
Ай бұрын
that is a Stanley bedrock. the Zen Wu will need most any traditional plane to be modified to fit the mouth. you will want to file the mouth a bit to get it in. here is the video modifying that plane. kzread.info/dash/bejne/p6mXutGvj5Xckco.html

Felt protective pads for furniture legs that come in the assorted sizes at most hardware stores are my favorite clamp pads. Hot glue helps hold em on better than just the provided adhesive if need.
Nice
14:57 What kind of drill is that? Could you make a video (or point me to one if you've already made it) of all your interesting tools like this one?

@@WoodByWrightHowTo well that's exactly the question I came to ask, so I vote with the 321 chickenfarmers who originally requested the video.
I see, you can put the squeeze on them. Got it! LOL.
I must have missed something. Why cant you get the BLO that you always use?

I make it. And it takes a lot of time it's time and effort that I could spend all their places.
I don't really understand the toggles however I think these would be ideal for epoxy clamping. I think Daisy, across the pond, the young guitar builder uses the ones with the cam

The toggles act like a wedge to keep the jaw from moving. The U shape is to prevent it from falling out and getting lost
What do the walnut pieces do. Are they tapered to lock the jaw.
@WoodByWrightHowTo

They allow you to break the friction a little bit easier it allows you to open it up with a little less pressure. It's not a big difference but enough that it's worth it.
It’s clearly time to build a ukulele. I recommend a concert or tenor vs a soprano for grownup hands. Everything feels right in the world when you’re playing uke.

Do I sense a violin as one of your next projects? 🤔🧐

Don't luthiers use Painters tape to clamp small parts? Just kidding to tickle the algorithm....very cool little project.
I really enjoyed this video. Could you create a video explaining the differences between files and floats and when to use one over the other?
@WoodByWrightHowTo
Ай бұрын
I actually have a few videos on the topic. Here's one. kzread.info/dash/bejne/h6SZrrGilpjRdqg.htmlsi=-hUvifVlAQpPu8eK the big difference is that floats have very large teeth so they can dig in a little bit more. Basically the difference between rough and fine sandpaper. But a lot of floats are actually left soft like a hand saw. That way you can sharpen them.

Question, does your homemade BLO smell fishy? I dont really smell it but my, and my friend's mom say it smells terrible. Are there any affordable and preferably natural options (or ways to make it less smelly)?
@WoodByWrightHowTo

Mine does not smell fishy. Some people like the smell and some people don't but I've never heard it referred to as fishy

@WoodByWrightHowTo When I googled it, it said that blo can smell fishy and some people who accidentally cooked with linseed oil also said it smelled like fish. I think some people might just be sensitive to it (like some people can smell when animals mark the territory)

that and "Fishy" is often a catch all term for odd or out of place.
Aaand my "to-do" list just got a little bit longer. Again. 😄

I've been told, " you have too many clamps." I responded " Leave and never return to my home." There is no such thing as too many clamps. It is not possiblr to own that many.
CDB!
Loose the screw - a small dowel pin or through dowel would look and be more pleasing!

That's true but it's harder to take it off but you had to do a few times.

Wedges on the outside of a through-tenon don't actually do anything. Oh well. It still looks good and if it works, it's a non-issue.

I used to believe the same thing. But with the strength of modern glue joints the wood will fail long before the glue joints fail. I know he used hide glue which isnt as strong, but to say it does nothing may be a stretch, the glue would still hold up to alot of shear force before failing
