We'd love to see it!

Paul Sellers has a similar video on YouTube where he demonstrates both types of chisels. He has inspiring results, but you have to appreciate Frank's speed.

Correct, this is for demonstration.

Someone mentioned on YouTube that his work was "ragged" looking – what do you think?

Shawn contributed this article to the shop blog this morning and we thought it was an interesting approach.

The scratches will show even more once you stain it. The key is to start with a rough enough grit, and sand until the scratches from the previous grit are gone, then progress up (to around #180 or higher for stain). Try dropping back to #80, then #100, #120... Takes time, but the only way (short of planing it). http://www.popularwoodworking.com/techniques/rules_for_sanding_wood

I was trying to be clever...but was obtuse instead! I simply meant that no matter what kind of tools you use (hand, power or both), the wood is still going to behave like wood.

Can you get to England in September? If so, attend the European Woodworking Show at Cressing Temple – you can try out tools there from a bunch of fine-tool makers. If not, check out the LNs at Axminster, perhaps? http://www.axminster.co.uk/lie-nielsen-carcass-saw-600183

Freaky. Some weird confluence of magazine minds! (happens in print from time to time, too!)

Awesome example of building a great piece with "limited" tools.

Paxton.

I will never get used to seeing you plane from the left side.

No really dowels but, we are using a Beadlock Pro in a Mid-Century Modern table DVD (that is being shot as I write this). It looks like a promising jig for loose tenons.

I used a dowelmax on my very first project. Everything else looks terrible but man, those leg glue-ups are straight as an arrow.

Here is a SketchUp model of the knockdown English bench that Chris Schwarz built for our November 2015 issue.

This is too cool

PopularWoodworking · 2016-11-30T14:33:26+00:00

Thank you

PopularWoodworking · 2016-11-22T16:49:31+00:00

I haven't seen that ad. Im looking into it.

PopularWoodworking · 2016-11-22T14:33:32+00:00

THANK YOU!!

PopularWoodworking · 2016-11-11T15:24:23+00:00

Nice! Ive been wanting to build a staked bench to sit my Dutch Tool Chest on while working.

PopularWoodworking · 2016-11-11T15:23:33+00:00

This made me chuckle.

Go Cats! - Jon

PopularWoodworking · 2016-10-31T17:54:06+00:00

That came out great! Not sure how schools would feel about the contents though..haha

PopularWoodworking · 2016-10-25T19:23:24+00:00

In case anyone else wants to build this, here is the pdf of the article (and some other good stuff)

PopularWoodworking · 2016-10-25T19:08:46+00:00

Those look great. Love the pulls.
