Wait...I thought your name was Darbin, not Linn

Crucible Steel was invented in England in the 18th Century, and it consistently produced a homogenous high carbon steel without impurities. Being high carbon it's harder and brittle, which is good for creating edge tools but needs to be forge welded onto softer iron to absorb impact and stress. (It's also cost efficient.) All chisels and plane irons in Britain of that era would have "Cast" or "Cast Steel" stamped. The parameters for heat treating high carbon steel to make it suitably hard is narrow and so batch quality varied. This is still true today in Japan. I tell you all of this because Japanese chisels have similar construction insofar as having a steel cutting edge laminated to soft iron. However, the grade of steel is important. Japan produces a variety of steel; the most common being White & Blue. White Steel 2 is high carbon, and refined to a higher carbon% to become White Steel 1. The heat treatment process for WS1 is difficult and only a handful of skilled makers offer this. In comparison, Blue Steel is an alloy and refined into Blue Steel 2 & 1 by adding different levels of tungsten etc. Blue steel is more common in plane blades because it generally wears slower when planing hardwoods. Blue Steel's heat treating parameters are more forgiving and certainly play a role in makers opting for a more consistent production method. For chisels, WS2 is common however WS1 makers are out there like Sukemaru. The list is obviously bigger inside Japan. All Western Chisels are alloys. The benefits of Japanese chisels for me include it's harder edge and handle design. It's laminated structure is easier to sharpen in comparison to most Western Chisel Steels and the handle allows for metal hammers to be used without fear of splitting-you feel the force of your hammer blows transferred to the chisels edge in a more satisfying way than a joiners mallet. If you're curious about chisel designs, here's a useful overview: brianholcombewoodworker.com/guide-to-japanese-chisels/ If you're willing to pay the relatively speedy £80-£100 International DHL Shipment and added import fees, you can order Japanese tools @ shop.kurashige-tools.com/en-gb

Great video thank you! 😊

DO NOT USE DRIFTWOOD when burnt it can release chlorine gas WHICH IS VERY FUCKING POISONOUS AND WILL KILL YOU. You should be fine in well ventilated places but just making sure cause if your in a cave which is already a dumb decision on the beach if the tide rises you will kill yourswlf

Nice display. Unfortunately, Tomek T-8 here in Australia is approx $1600 for the machine only. That is a lot!

It's a great system, but it's a serious price. I can see the utility if I were a production shop, but right now, a handful of diamond plates and a few stones and files allow me to sharpen anything - except seemingly my hatchet, which is my own lack of skill. Good video, Linn. Guess I need to be a REALLY good boy and wait for Christmas.

Tormek makes a good system for sure. Great review

Definitely feels like the jigs make the complex/compound shaped blades "safer" to run on the sharpener. 👍

Nice work

very good review - thank you

Thank uou awesome watching from south Africa 🇿🇦 want to make round 60cm hoops/rings busy with a new project.

Thanks for the video, I just receive mine. Can't wait to have all of my Japanese knives always stay sharp. I'm a crazy Chinese woman who loves knives and cooking!😅

I love my family and would never put them in one of those bombs. Plus I was quoted a much higher vehicle insurance if I was to purchase a EV. Even my home insurer asked me if I had a EV. I told him no. He stated I'd require a additional rider on my insurance if I kept a EV in the garage due to the fire hazard.

Is it possible to just run a heavy extension cord from the dryer's outlet to the car?

👍

havent seen these sharpen over 300 while other tormeks can do 100. am i wrong?

Thank you for the review. I am going to buy one. Cheers.

Inverters should never constantly run at more than 80%……80% of 2000 watts is 1600 watts. A shutdown safety feature is built into them intentionally . Buy a larger inverter if you intend on using more than 80%

Would suggest ground contact pressure treated wood for any wood in contact with the ground. Could also use PVC board, Aztec etc..

Restoring acast iron book press as I watch :)

Good for heating MRE style foods if you don't have a chem pack with them.

I just recently built a book press. But I I not that good with cutting dovetails so I cut mortise and tenons then drilled all the way through and glued in a dowel.

So I see Free charging so me medical bill have to pay for your charging. Or steal a charge for mom or friends. Sound like a lot stealing to me

I just made linseed beeswax polish. It is so satisfying to make and turned out great. The beeswax made the kitchen smell wonderful. It didn't take much time from start to finish. Thank you for sharing your experience too. I really enjoy watching your videos.

I came across your original book press video last year when I needed to figure out what to build as my jourmeyman's piece to become a carpenter. It was a huge inspiration really, so thank you for putting it out there! I finished building my press just today, can't wait to take it home and use it for lino printing. Unfortunately it has to sit at work for another 3 weeks until finals are over 😔 (I used 60mm wood and cutting out the dove tails was a nightmare that lasted 2 whole days. Totally worth it tho :))

Have you tried waxing the wooden screws? But yeah, steel screws are more pragmatic. And the old guys would have used metal. Wood was used because it was cheap, I'd guess. Today it's almost the opposite. That thread cutter that you guys use is not cheap at all. But some tool steel, a blowtorch and a file go a long way when it comes to wooden screws. It's just a lot of work.

Wonderful build! I'm not currently making books, but I saved this video for later if I do pick it up as a hobby.

This was a wonderful video. Thank you. I appreciate the embrace of accessible craft. I don't find many makers that circle back to the (relative) basics after acquiring CNCs. Good on ya!

Nice! A very interesting project. Thank you.

you need to clean your panels as this will increase the incoming

use soap (solid, with a lot of glycerin) for wood screws. When you make wood screws, you must also leave room for the wood, so a smaller diameter, so that it does not block when the humidity is higher

I'm looking for a way to smoothen hot glue how to smooth hot glue do you have any ideas.

Please more videos on bookbinding equipment :)

Cool project!

Well done and you've earned my subscription. Might be the first RUclips woodworker I've seen that didn't go overkill with the wood glue.

The only thing I worry about other than battery degradation is resale value. When it’s time to get a new car 6-8 years from now, are non Tesla EV’s resale value any good

Very nice looking press, and your plans are clear and easy to follow. I'm looking forward to your future bookbinding videos. A three-hole punch and ring binder is just not very elegant. Thanks for sharing, Linn.

I wanted to build this for a good 6 years now 🙈 Thank you for making a wonderful video about it, it's very inspiring!

Impressive!

Great project indeed, Linn! Thanks for all the information! 😊 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Beautiful machine! I will definitely come back for more bookbinding videos.

👍

Compliments, a great implementation of a book press. Bookbinding is a great creative addition to woodworking. I think it's creative how you weave the different trades together. Thank you for taking part.

You're an amazing woman, I like you and your channel!

It is important when making clips like this to remember that power sources are configured differently across Europe. The USA is particularly odd, in fact. Uk domestic sources are typically 240V (ish) when single phase - More for 3 phase. Domestic power sockets deliver up to 13A (3kW+) while this clip assumes 1kW. Home chargers routinely supply at 7.4kW in the UK. Presumably this varies across continents. I understand some EU countries can supply 16A to domestic users. So, wherever you are look for national resources to obtain advice, don't use clips like this one.

Hi Darbin. Question: I have started to make my own bees wax paste using boiled Linseed and Beeswax. I have done 5 test pots all at 4-1 ratio. the first test was from the exact same brand of linseed, set perfect the second test I used a brand new bottle of linseed oil (Same brand) and would not set( just like runny poridge)? third and forth the same but added a little bit extra beeswax only set slightly thicker still runny?. All prosedures were the same as I did them by weight. I wrote it all down and double checked. I did a final number five useing the oil from the the first bottle and it set perfect? So it is the oil to me that is the problem yet they are the same brand and had been brought only a month apart from the shop. the only difference I can see is the oil in the new bottle is slightly darker? Any ideas..

Realy the best vedio I've seen on this mower. I own one myself. You gave a review without all the dead time and needles talk. Nice review for what it's worth.

My biggest suprise is it was delivered by FedEx and didn't arrive damaged!
