Top Ten Tools

Chad Stanton asked me what my top ten tools would be. I had a hard time with this but came up with my list.
Chad did one two. His is a hybrid list and mine is a traditional list.
What would your top ten be?

Great videos Dave. I think both you and Chad had pretty good lists for the different ways you like to do your woodworking. I have to admit that the hand tool route is a great way to work and probably more satisfying for a hobby woodworker than noisy machines. That said, machines are great for getting the laborious work done. I think there is plenty of room for both styles of woodworking and also the two combined. Fortunately we have a wide range of machines and hand tools at different price points to choose from, so just about anyone can afford to take up woodworking if they really want too.

Mike well said. And If I have a tremendous load to do of the same thing I will get an electric saw out. I have cheap band saws, table saw, and chop saws. I mainly use those for construction grade lumber. I just enjoy small projects with the old school methods.
You know as well as I do you can spend large amounts of money on either path you take.
Thank you for your input.

Very informative post Dave, I loved the magical entrance and exit!

Are all your Japanese saws cross cut tooth? You dont seem to see many rip pattern teeth on them. I wonder why.

Dave, you're alive! Cooling down a bit where you are finally?

If you want a pure linseed oil that dries a bit faster than the raw, take a look at the Tried and True stuff that Lee Valley carries. Their "Danish Oil" is pure linseed oil that is heat treated like boiled linseed oil was back in the day as far as I can tell. The label lists it as edible if I recall.

I'd love to find a place nearby that sells real turpentine like that. Turpentine still is a little toxic, but it has to be better than mineral spirits.

I have always liked the smell of turp but it gives my wife an instant migrane so no more turp based finishes for me! You are a LOT handier with that stitching awl than I am. Great videos!

Thanks Andy. I stitched so much today I wound up with tape on my fingers.
The turp I have now, I would wager, would not have the same effect on you and the Ms's.

Great videos Dave. I really appreciate this info just to learn where stuff originates and how it was prepared and used without the need of huge chemical companies and packaged products. Going back like this is very interesting. I would think that school kids could also benefit a lot from learning about things like this and it would be wonderful if you could demonstrate it for some classes. I'm sure many would find it inspiring. Just a thought. I've subscribed to your Chisel & Forge website. Keep up the good work!

Pine pitch is neat stuff. I used to make leather bottles for period re-en-actors when I lived in the FL Panhandle. I melted pure pine pitch and poured it into the bottles like they did in the old days. After swirling it around the inside I poured it back in the old metal tea pot I used on a hot plate to melt the pitch. An interesting story is that I dropped one behind my truck one day and not seeing it I backed over it. When I felt the bump I stopped the truck and saw the bottle. It wasn't crushed and a few licks on the buffing wheel salvaged the bottle.

Mike I work at my local school district. We have 28 schools and 20,000 students. I have often wanted to give a little show in our FFA classes. These kids have Powermatic tools, benches with vices and even tractors. May bee one day a teacher will pick up on what I do and ask. Just think I could give a demo even while getting paid.
Great thoughts and ides.
Than you.
Toolz now that is cool. My brother in law does a 18th century thing with tee pees. They will meet up and have a Rondavios with a thousand or so people. They will set up a small encampment and play like it is the 1700's. They dress in period clothing and only use period tools. My sister in law cam make lasagna in a dutch oven.
Thanks for you time.
