@@EchoLog such a sweet life is hard on a man like me, You see I've have grown up in Oregon I'm half city half redneck but as white as a Scotsman though the Irish blood in any of us will burn hotter than a cross on a Sunday morning just under beam of sunlight, burning glory into the fresh green.

Thank you for the videos. As someone in their late 20's and just barely getting into hand tool woodworking, it's nice to see that there's relatively fresh faces out there making content. Your stuff is especially down to earth and relaxing. A nice change of pace between seeing Rex and James "argue" about shooting boards and who's more bald. Keep up the good work, and I'd love to see more tool restorations, and other workshop related projects.

I love learning the history of things, like explaining the tool that curls the wood to use as an old-timey match. I’m a history geek, so that’s really cool to me

I’ve also seen all your shorts, so I’m watching the videos now

That lathe is so cool, I never thought about how they did these things in the days before industrialization, you're so amazing!

Hes the only peron on youtube with 380 thounds subs that doent have 11 ads per video. I LOVE HIM

Accidentally discovered your videos, and I am just charmed. I am just astounded by what you know about woodworking. And being a half Irish American cannot get enough of that accent.

this brings me back to the days of working in the tool barn with my grandfather. He'd make each one of us grandkids build something on our own each summer we visited. great stuff!

Watching you remove that rust made me remember an old farmer’s recipe for rust remover that works better than anything else I’ve used: 1 Part feed molasses to 9 parts water and let it ferment in a bucket out in the sun with a loose fitting lid. The smellier it gets, the better it works, so they say.

I loved the spill plane. Never seen one of those before but it makes perfect sense.

I saw one short by you and I can’t stop watching, always wanted to get into woodworking

Seeing that 'match' plane made me smile and remember an old cabinet maker I knew before he passed on. Man must have been in his sixties at the time and that was near thirty years ago. But anyway, he had one similar that made curled transfer 'matches' that his dad gave to him. It turned out it was handmade by his great great grandfather way back when, and those transfer matches at the time it, at least as he was told, were sold in bundles of fifty for a half penny. Almost all of his oldest tools were hand made and passed generation to generation until actual manufacturing made them cheaper, but even then. his "newest" tool was ninety years old and it was a odd side left hand screw auger bit that was one and three eighths inch. I think his son is still in the business but darn if I can find 'em again.

I appreciate the longer form video and your efforts to make them. Good job

You and I would get along ridiculously well. Everybody thinks I'm nuts for doing things the hard way.

The old ways the best way sometimes that's why old stuff sticks around for the way it does they make stuff to fall apart now just so you have to buy another one greedy bastards

Wait, a collapsible timber frame tent?!?! You have to do a video on that design! Please!!

At 9:30 I like the way you drove the handle onto the blade - not like I've seen a lot of guys do it by hitting the handle with the blade in free air.

I love the patina you get on good quality old steel.

He even pspspspspsps’s the cat with an accent. Love it.

Your motivation with tools astound me.

A simple alternative to lapping fluid is just water as all it does is carry the meta shavings out of the space between diamonds. Also too much pressure will destroy the diamond stones, don't ask how I know this😂. Nice pole lathe. Love renovation of all useable tools. Nice one.

Very nice. Thanks for sharing.

this man is doing everything i dreamed of anytips for a beginner

Eoin, did you ever think that cleaning up an old tool, that has own knowledge, that now it will get more knowledge. Thanks for cleaning up that.

Lynsey Doyle 😂

absolutely love your context brotha!! keep it up! cheers from USA 🇺🇸

You mate are fucking infectious can't stop watching your videos #respect

For my job I make all sorts of custom interiors, from kitchens to walk in closets, wardrobes, bathroom cabinets and much more. All with cnc and other modern machines. Yet i feel a connection to all these old tools and have restored some chisels and hammers myself, some of which i use for my work now. It feels great to use an old tool that has made many beautiful things in it's life. That I restored them myself is the cherry on top. Awesome work Eoin!

I like the cut of your jib, lad. You do things the old way, and that's pretty damn cool.

What my ears heard: "I was digging through a pile of old tools" What my brain heard: "I was visiting one of my many vacation properties"

Your videos always gives me soo good vibes, thank you for this content. KZread need more people like you!

Good restoration lad! A substitute to the lapping fluid is just a different brand I’ve heard good things of which is HoneRite gold. I’ve just been getting a lathe myself so I’m in for making some plane handles for my collection, as I prefer the lower wider knobs. Love the long form videos much more I must admit 😁

Great job cheers from NY usa

I had never seen a manual lathe before. Just imagine, pre industrialization, being the guy that comes up with that.

At least 3,000 years old. There was never a time people weren't clever at making tools.

Love to have what you have looks like a great life in the countryside no distractions probably some local fishery’s as well

You remind me of an old TV show called the Red Green Show. You look/act like the main character, only younger. Keep up the amazing vids, though id love to see more long form vids

You're a handy chap, Eon! Lovely to see the restoration of the old tools.

Honestly just found your channel got say its amazingly wholesome to watch you restore all these tools.

I’m still in my youth, but you are doing a great job at raising a future carpenter (as a hobby, my career path lies in chemistry)

Enjoy your back bevel!!

I grew up watching a pbs show called “the woodwright’s shop”. You may be able to draw some inspiration from Roy. Possibly even resurrect some of his long forgotten contraptions. Cheers

I think you might be my favorite DIY guy on youtube. Cheers!

Cool. I am learning to get a Certificate two in Cabinet Making and your videos and shorts kinda help me. Even if it’s general woodworking I still like it.

Eion love your enthusiasm.keep it up. Looking forward to the no3 plane video.

Just throwing this out there. For those short on time. These is a bio safe product called rust eze. It's pretty good. Just soak metal for a few hours and it will melt the rust... Also, can be filtered and reused. And it can go down the sink.

Dear Eoin, I love your tutorials. It makes me wanna do stuff myself. Would it be possible for you to make a hand saw restoration tutorial? What Manufacturers Handsaws to look for, or how to identify sharpable handsaws and how to sharpen the teeth? Would you recommend it to a beginner with some knife sharpening experience and limited experience with file?

370k subscribers, dude. Great job, and as always excellent content. Keep up the great work!

Use dish soap and water in a pray bottle. That's why I use. And it work very well.

love your work!

Absolutely fantastic!!!

Take da timber down and lay it flat it will bow like that sure good work ma man

Great video!!!!

That cat looks like it’s spend a lifetime at sea.

Keep 'em coming.....these are good vids./ Info.

Nothing more than water in a spray bottle needed on any diamond stone as a lubricant. Stropping on leather bicarbonate soda mixed with a little chalk dust is the magic that works purfect found in most homes, works purfect & cheap.

❤your videos!

That was grand , thank you,

Very cool

hi, really enjoying your channel and picking-up tips when doing wood working etc.i heard you mention about getting more lapping fluid for the diamond plates on your jig.i follow another guy on yt called paul sellers.he uses auto windscreen spray as a lubricant when sharpening on diamond plates.a cheap and readily available substitute for an expensive lapping fluid.

Glad to see a new video. what a great way to kick off the weekend. Yo is that thing where you take the plan or whatever and make see thru strips of wood real? Like from tik tok and stuff where they shave down a board and they end up with a transparent sheet of wood?

I would love to see a video of you assembling that takedown tent frame. And maybe a build video

Love it.

Let’s talk about that work bench ! I need to build one like that.

love the videos

good job

after watchin some of your videos i can confidently say that i only understand about 75% of what you say. and i LOVE it lol keep up the fantastic work you wonderful man

That tent is interesting, can you please show us more of that?

When you used the pole lathe I could hear the master turner going "what, do you think sandpaper grows on trees? Use your tool to cut not chip the wood." I used to apprentice at a living history village from the 1800s and one of the master carpenters taught classes on the spring pole. To graduate the class you had to turn 4 legs for a chair and have them be an exact duplicate of each other - its a lot harder then it sounds. In addition they went after you for using sandpaper - the time period of the village sandpaper was more then a days wage.

Just wondering.Are ya still moving into the old stone building

Haven't watched yet but I feel like WDfarty is involved

When you use those diamond stones for heavy removal, use some oil or WD-40

watching this while fixing up a chisel i found lol

Been having a little crack at this, what size hole do you drill in the handle my friend?

you can use windowlene or equivalent window cleaner as a lapping liquid.

Thank you Eoin😅😅😅

What kind of sharper is that? And where do I get one?

What is that 3 block sharpener system called and where do I find one?

I love your program but one thing I find difficult with some tubers is that I get dizzy, carsick when the camera is moved around too quickly.

Heard people talking about sharpening in figures of 8, any reason to that other than trying to keep the stone flat??

What is the sharpening station/rig you use?

You have to show us how to make a pole lathe please please please 🙏

If only there were other sources, other places you could look for information on the internet. But alas, we have only this single KZread channel to work with.

As someone who has recently started sharpening shisels, the free hand sharpening resembled one of the things i also do but hate, not keeping the elbows level through the entire motion good vid tho ill try wd40 to remove rust

What is it that made me subscribe… I dunno!? Is it the accent? Is it the fact he’s so darn manly? Is it that he’s fixing tools and I think that’s cool? Idk… I don’t know. Not complaining though 😂

Is there any way to rescue a chisel tip is ragged from rust eating it away? Just sand it until it's square as you did here?

Thanks for your videos! Always great to watch. I do have a question though - why didn't you replace the handle before sharpening the chisel?
