Good info James but I have a (silly) question.
If the correct use of the mallet is to choke up on the handle and/or even grip it by the head, why don’t they have a stubby handle instead of the long one?
I appreciate all you do.
Thanx,
Greg
Thanks so much for the charity shout-out. It’s so important for those of us who are fortunate enough to pitch in and help folks in need. Also, thanks for the tips and/or arguments!
I keep a small bottle of water with my glue. Handy for whenever I need a bit of the most universal solvent there is.
Excellent video. my grandpa a life long carpenter, taught me the same tips but with some cussing and funny phrases. "Use your g d guide finger" "slicker than greased owl sh#&t" Every tool in his shop was razor sharp. His little stanley block plane goes to work with me every day. Thanks for encouraging to help the less fortunate!!! Great videos keep them coming!
Love the channel, I learn a bunch about woodworking.
James, today I also learned how amazing, warmth, and kind person you are. Thank you
The last tip — give to a charity — was the best of all of them. 👍
Good on you mate! 👍👏👏👏
Oh my! I have issues with everything you said! Just kidding. Awesome instruction as always.
Thanks. I donated.
If the mallet is to be held close to the head, why is the handle so long?
Thanks, we in Ukraine appreciate everyone’s support and help.
Thanks, James!
David Charlesworth would panic watching you sharpen a chisel ahah!
But honestly, no hate to him, I think both approaches are valuable and everyone should find their happy places between methodical and freestyle sharpening!
That trick about connecting a line on all four sides JUST made it click for me why you can’t make all four corners of a piece perfectly 90° on a jointer, even when you’re using "square" 4×4 stock.
Thank you for the video. And thank you for bringing World Central Kitchen to my attention.
RABBLE! rabble rabble rabble 🤣
Thank you James for addressing the need for helping out in these dire times.
great tips and no arguments, but i do have a question: Why do you have te bent a scraper? I cannot get my head around the mechanics. Not bending seems more logical to me. Any one know why?
Okay…now I’m thinking of making a carving mallet without a handle, maybe with groves for the fingers to grasp on the back.
Please think about supporting those that need it. https://donate.wck.org/give/236738/#!/donation/checkout
How Dare YOU!!!!!!!!! 🙂
One tip, use a 1-2-3 block as a guide for chiseling square shoulders. Drop the chisel into the scribe line and then hold the block against the chisel. Then chop.
One of the best disaster relief programs that I know of is UMCOR (United Methodist Council on Relief). All of the organization administrative costs are paid by United Methodist churches, so every cent that is donated goes directly to relief efforts. Secondly, if you use Amazon, use Amazon Smiles. That creates a monetary gift to the charity of your choice. (At least, that’s the way I understand it) If my comments are out of line, please delete
Thank you for using your platform to help those in need. You are more than a good woodworker. You are a good person.
Planes are designed to be placed blade down on a workbench.
Really enjoyed this video!!
Great video James sir lots information
Another great video. Thanks for the simple, yet still so helpful tips you have us today!
For people that don’t wear rings in the shop do to safety, a washer works just as well for determining a drill is level.
Thank you for encouraging support to Ukraine- good man. The world would be a much better place with more men like you and less like Putin
Donation is complete
I remember being told by my woodworking teacher, my tafe teachers, my tradesmen. and even my personal trainer that the reason for pointing your index finger was because that finger is connected to the smallest muscle in your arm. So if you engage that finger when gripping things your arm gets tired faster.
The control thing seems like a happy accident
JOSE ANDRES IS A FREAKING SAINT! World Central Kitchen kills it; you are a Legend for using your platform to spread some good in the world!
Thank you James as always,

Check if your employer matches donations. Great way to DOUBLE what you can give. Mine did, I’m happy to say.
Let us see this same info presented by a True Left Hander. You just hold every thing so Wrong!! Put Up Your Dukes – Get Ready to RUMBLE
Lost it at the first tip. If I tried that with a chisel, I’d have three different bevels from three different stones and a rounded-over edge from the strop.
The woodworker James is nice but man is wonderful! Thanks James and family
What’s your woman gonna do if some Ukrainian woman thinks this is her chance out with you offering rings!!!😯
I live on the other site of the oceaan where the people are running, the Netherlands. And yes, if you see how glade they are with the help they get. Even if it is a bit of food. Here we also have a lot of people that take them in there home. Don’t let them stand alone. Thanks.
Donation sent. Thanks for the inspiration.
Great video and excellent shout out to the charity. 🙏🏻
Thats alot of bug holes in that first piece of wood. Did you treat it with pesticide before it was brought in to the shop or is it no biggie?
Top work dude, supporting those that are in need
Super Video,,, loved the heart felt comments of donating to help others ! I’ve had a actual account with St. judes childrens hospital and research for yrs. That way it jus comes outta my bank account every month
Thanks for the donation suggestion. Very meaningful to our community at WbW. Oh, and great video too.
one thing I always wondered but just accepted is why mallet has such a long handle then. balance?
Strops are a amazing way to refresh an edge on chisels!
Great tips! I know the rag in a can oiler was a big tip for me in helping ease friction when planing.
Great video, James. I really appreciate you mentioning the charity. I’ve been wanting to donate but wasn’t sure of the best option. I will be looking into that charity. Thank you.
Jason from fireball tool did a good video on back dragging files and its effect on files https://youtu.be/xbykic–SKA
