I am a power tool man myself but you describe what you are doing so well and I totally enjoy watching your channels. I do have two hand planes, both #4 and I am trying to learn how to take off a whole gob of wood with one and with the other how to take off just a whisper of wood. I am having my troubles but I think I'll get it within the next 2 or 3 years. God Bless my friend.

Nice Frank. once you master the hand plane there are a ton of options that open up. let me know if there is anything i can do to help.

Cool Beans, One week down! Looking forward to the rest of this build.

Great James :) Loving this build. I will hold off until after winter before I start this. I'm sure the lathe will be finished by then and it gives me time to plan. Thank you ॐ

Hah, when I saw you laying out that real shallow angle I thought "I wonder how he's going to start that?" I had to do something similar lately and it's not easy.

uzimonkey sometimes it is easier to leave the top end a little bit long, cut a kerf into the board about 1/4 tob1/2 way across and use that as a guide to start your shallow angle cut. When you're done with the shallow cut you can cut the excess off the top. It doesn't take much, even a 1/2 inch extra atvthe top will do. The less you leave at The top as a starting guide, the less waste you have. Hope this was understandable and helps.

Thank you for a great video, and the helpful tips you put in there too 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Almost done, and then you get to show us all how well it’s going to work 😁

I like that one. it almost never gets in the way.

I was thinking that you could put some concrete pad in the feets, that ways makeit more heavy and gonna have less moving in the frame, only a idea if you no like it that fine, but look very ligth weigth or top heavy more considerate the piece turning

If this was a normal lathe that would be a problem but with a spring pole the RPm are so slow and the force is down on the tredal as you step on it. So they do not need much at all. one of the fun things t play with!

@Thom4123

Wood By Wright Thank You see learned something new.

why not extend the spring out past the stock head and attach it to a treadle. Then the piece you are trying to turn will go one direction instead of having it spin both ways? Just wondering?

@WoodByWright

6 жыл бұрын

because that would be a flywheel lathe. those are not as easy to travel with. but I will be building one of those in the future. just not sure when. but even then I do find the spring pole to be far more enjoyable to work with. more challenging and slower work.

What was the pitch on the wedges, any difference when working with hardwood? Also If you had to keep only one Vise type/style which would it be?

@WoodByWright

6 жыл бұрын

+Ray Bartlett I have not found any one pitch to be better then another. Usually something between 1 to 5 and 1 to 9 works well for both hard and soft. Though you will find people that swear by one or the other. I like large face vise that can also be used as a tail vice on the end of the bench. 95% of what I do is on that.

Another great video in the series, looking forward to seeing it turn. Just wondering, for morticing, why do you bore a hole then clean the edges? I've been watching a few of paul sellers videos and he is pretty set on not boring first. What are your thoughts on the subject? I don't mean to question you or think i know more, i just want to know your thinking. Again, great video

@WoodByWright

6 жыл бұрын

for me if it is a through mortise, wider then 1/2" or if the mortise is wider then it is wide I bore it out first. it is just much faster in those cases. but for most standard furniture they are none of those and in that case, I just chop it much the same way as Paul.

It is a treadle lathe? but if you are referring to a flywheel lathe I will be building one of those eventually. The spring pole lathe is just more fun and easier to transport places.
