More Carving with the Husqvarna Hatchet - Buck Saw Strut

[chillymywilly]

sounds like a woodpecker

[ColinOutdoors]

@chillymywilly It sure does :-)

[MarcoMontana22]

Nice job, I'm gonna make one of those as soon as my hatchet gets here!

[ColinOutdoors]

@MarcoMontana22 Nice one my friend.

[LiamMitts]

Hey Colin, Just a little tip on cutting with knife, hatchet or chisel. Take a pencil and draw out the shape on your wood you want to end up with before you cut. That will give you a reference point or guide to go by.We have an old saying in carpentry,,,,measure and mark twice and cut once. Hope this helps. Cheers, Bill

[ColinOutdoors]

@LiamMitts Bill that is a great tip, thank you my friend , I will use it in the future :-)

[ZBlocker93]

You do work frickin' fast brother!!! haha

[ColinOutdoors]

@ZBlocker93 Lol, thanks my friend, I loving playing with the high speed

[skroonk]

I'm half expecting a Benny Hill gag. Hahaha... can you at least put the music in?

[ColinOutdoors]

@skroonk Lol, yeah adding the Benny Hill music would be pretty cool :-)

[bill510c]

The mistake is part of the lesson. Great job brother, keep at it and keep up the great work.

[ColinOutdoors]

@bill510c I agree, thank you so much for your support my friend.

[wetcanoedogs]

your very handy with a big tool like that,around here we would use a crooked knife.

[ColinOutdoors]

@wetcanoedogs Cheers for the kind words my friend. 

[sulevia76]

good stuff mate i love the fact you didnt try to edit out where you went wrong lots of respect for that the more we do somthing the more we learn

[ColinOutdoors]

@sulevia76 Thank you so much for your support my friend, I totally agree :-)

[QualityKnives]

Boy oh boy Colin your fast. Lol :)

[ColinOutdoors]

@QualityKnives Haha, lol, cheers Ash

[ewtoutdoors]

Keep up the good work, watching the videos Im getting into the projects also, waiting for what is next. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[ColinOutdoors]

@ewtoutdoors Thank you my friend :-)

[ewtoutdoors]

Good job, you are working on the details you want. The way this is progressing it looks like you have given the project alot of thought. Look how far it has come already. I missed the uprights being done don't know, watch all the emails about new videos ???. Errors are how we learn and expand our knowledge. At 10X you sounded like a chipmunk knawing on a piece of wood when you were using the hatchet.

[ColinOutdoors]

@ewtoutdoors Lol, thank you my friend, I really appreciate your kind words

[jbum03]

No more 5 hour energy for you bro!!! Thanks for the vid outstanding work with an axe

[ColinOutdoors]

@jbum03 Lol, or Red Bull, thanks my friend :-)

[BigAl1048]

- any way glad to see that you've advanced past folding/hand saws, - olchevyman is right, keep an eye out for old drawknives or spokeshaves tho I've had good luck with using plate glass shards and welding gloves, and even pieces broken out of old porcelain sinks and thrones. -just a thought, check out sawbucks @ wikipedia, once

you've cut up a cord or 2held in place by the saw buck, you'll look for ways to create a substitute in the out doors good luck Big Al

[ColinOutdoors]

@BigAl1048 Thanks very much Al, I appreciate your great tips my friend, take care

[BigAl1048]

good job - I'm looking at a buck saw with a center brace that my granther replaced,it looks as tho he found a rough cut piece 1'' by *'' that had knots with centers at approximately 23''

The plank was cut down to just under 25'', then the ends were center notched down freeing the knots creating near perfect ' U 's the wood around the former knot holes is harder denser and had some natural pitch in it acting as glue at low temps and lube at hi temps

[ColinOutdoors]

@BigAl1048 Sounds really nice my friend, thanks for sharing :-)

[ParamedicPants]

wow dude that just looked like a cartoon or something lol great vid

[ColinOutdoors]

@ParamedicPants Lol, thanks my friend

[olchevyman]

Very nice.....Wood working takes time, on something like that you would be better off using a drawknife, Im sure you could find some old ones around for not much....Very good job for a hatchet

[ColinOutdoors]

@olchevyman Thanks very much my friend, yeah thats a really nice idea, maybe in the future I could pick one up.

[hamerhead2]

you know trial and error is the name of the game when you do a diy project still a good job.

[ColinOutdoors]

@hamerhead2 Thanks my friend, I appreciate your support

[bushcraftbartons]

You got to teach me how to be that fast Colin :) Excellent video :)

[ColinOutdoors]

@bushcraftbartons Lol, nothing to it Mike, you just need to eat your porridge in the morning lol. Thanks my friend

[dahartman88]

the 10x jet sounds are eerie!

[ColinOutdoors]

@dahartman88 Lol it sure does

[patje0109]

Hi Colin, Found the high speed part very funny, don't u think ? Sorry you cut too far, is that pinewood, because pine has that behaviour (splitting to far)

Have a nice weekend!

Groetjes

Patje

[ColinOutdoors]

@patje0109 Thanks Patje, yeah its sounds pretty funny lol, glad you liked it my friend

[PiPphiltitley]

sweet mate!

yep i leant the hard way mate about stop cuts :)

ya be staining it next mate! :)

stay safe  pip

[ColinOutdoors]

@PiPphiltitley Thanks Pip, yeah hopefully when I get the shape done and sanded I can then stain it :-)

[Slash28ACR]

Wow, you sure do work fast my friend! :D

Great stuff, really enjoyed that, I love the mega fast chipping! Just an idea to get that curve without it splitting down and taking off the tenon shoulders is to jigsaw the basic shape you want then finish the sculpting of it with a knife.

Fantastic vid, cheers dude.

[ColinOutdoors]

@Slash28ACR Thank you very much Flash, I like the idea of the jigsaw but really wanted to try it with hand tools. I guess I need to be more patient next time and take my time and more care over the project :-)

[RDPproject]

think you can save that horizontal piece Colin. Round off the sharp edges. Put one of the verticals on one end. Coat the horizontal from the shoulder towards the center with glue. Now take some paracord and wrap from the shoulder towards the center. Now do the same on the other side. The extra width added by the paracord will prevent the verticals from shifting along the horizontal bar and add support. Even if you have already made a replacement...It may just be worth trying.

Rob

[ColinOutdoors]

@RDPproject Thanks Rob, yeah I had been experimenting using jute twine, seems to work good, I think I need to shave it down a bit before I put it on though. Good to hear from you my friend, hope you are doing well.

[Killahofosho]

ray mears would be proud! hell i'm proud! practice is a bitch, but we keep trying. i love the fact that you showed your f*ck up it made me enjoy this vid all that much more!

[ColinOutdoors]

@Killahofosho Thanks my friend, I really do appreciate your support, take care

[TheDishD]

Great vid Col, the high speed editing works a treat!, so sorry that it didnt end up the way u wanted, trial and error my friend, but the solution you have come with sounds like a pure winner! Glad to see the Husky is doing its job very well pls keep making these quality vids, i learn smthing with every one, best wishes and take care my dear friend

[ColinOutdoors]

@TheDishD Thank you very much Dishy :-) Yeah I was really disappointed with how it turned out, in too much for a rush to get it done and make the video I think. Lesson learn. Thanks for all you great support my friend, ps you need to teach me your dance moves :-)

[TheDishD]

@ColinOutdoors No prob's Col and il teach u my dance moves, if afterwards, u play the part of Godzilla for me, i have a blade i want to test...;p Jokes bro, and you'll keep m'lad you'll keep haha take care brother. =]

[ColinOutdoors]

@TheDishD Haha, I'll pass on that, it won't end well for me. Cheers Dishy, have a great weekend 

[CdnLifeguard71]

Still looks good. How does it perform? Or is it off to the wood pile?Version 3.0 will be great.

Nate

[ColinOutdoors]

@CdnLifeguard71 Thanks Nate, I think I can salvage it, need to do some modifying though

[MBlackford100]

Sorry about the miss cut Colin, But on the bright side the time lapse portion was pure perfection!

[ColinOutdoors]

@MBlackford100 Thank you very much my friend :-) 

[stillhetjeger]

Great job

[ColinOutdoors]

@stillhetjeger Cheers mate

[sabr686]

Good try, Col. What will version 4 look like? Looks like the snow has melted some in your neighborhood. We just got a new dump this morning, but it turned to rain, and is not a factor on the roads anyway. You're like a kid in a candy store with that high speed effect.

[ColinOutdoors]

@sabr686 Thanks Sabr, need to rethink the design before I try again. Yeah all the snow has gone, hopefully no more this winter. Lol yeah I am loving the high speed, what do you think of it? Any good?

[sabr686]

@ColinOutdoors I think it's a fun effect.  What software are you running for it?

[ColinOutdoors]

@sabr686 Thanks Sabr, I use Video Pad software, pretty pleased with it. Take care my friend

[MrNishi]

great editing Col, thumbs up for this vid

[ColinOutdoors]

@MrNishi Thank you very much my friend

[LeonRFpoa]

this time elapsed stuff is a good idea.

[ColinOutdoors]

@LeonRFpoa Cheers Leon.

[slugdiesuper]

u should do more and make like somthing realy big it would be well good to watch

[ColinOutdoors]

@slugdiesuper Thanks my friend, I can do that in the future :-) 

[hoosierarcher]

When you make an over cut on a shoulder like that a fix you can is to insert a wooden peg to replace the shoulder. That is quicker than a total do over. You may want to cut down on the caffiene before you start a wood working project. You were really amped up there. You were moving so fast it's a wonder the wood didn't spontaneously combust from the friction. :-D Good video mate,

[ColinOutdoors]

@hoosierarcher Thanks my friend, I appreciate your comment, take care

[hoosierarcher]

@ColinOutdoors You're very welcome and you take care as well. Great videos Colin. I'm planning a bushcraft weekend in the Fall of 2011 for all of us youtubers that can make it to have a Bushcrafters Jamboree in the Hoosier National Forest here in southern Indiana. I want to invite local Boy Scout troops to visit and be taught some bits of the bushcraft we all love to share so much. God willing you can attend. More on this later.

[ColinOutdoors]

@hoosierarcher Thank you very much for the kind offer my friend. I doubt I would be able to afford coming over but it sounds like a great weekend you have planned. I wish you all the best my friend :-)

[ColinOutdoors]

@hoosierarcher Thank you very much for the kind offer my friend. I doubt I would be able to afford coming over but it sounds like a great weekend you have planned. I wish you all the best my friend :-)

[bushblade]

Most amusing in high speed!

[ColinOutdoors]

@bushblade Lol, yeah it looks very funny, thank you for watching my friend.

[freedoomed]

Colin, are you The Flash? or possibly Reverse Flash?

[ColinOutdoors]

@freedoomed Lol, I doubt it my friend

[Urudrim]

hehe.  i cringed watching you destroy the shoulders.

[ColinOutdoors]

@Urudrim Thanks mate lol

[ColinOutdoors]

@milkbig550 Lol, I doubt it

[BuschTukkerMan]

Hey COlin , great video again bro:)

[ColinOutdoors]

@BuschTukkerMan Hey Busch, thanks my friend :-)

[Melthornal]

Next time perhaps you should shape the wood before making the mortise and tenon joint?  I don't know if that would help or not.

[ColinOutdoors]

@Melthornal I could do my friend, something to try perhaps, I could also do it before I cut it to length, that way I will be able to carve from both ends :-)

[CobblersThumb]

great job bud,mistakes are what make great true vids..not the blue peter style..lol

[ColinOutdoors]

@CobblersThumb Lol, thank you very much my friend :-)

[ColinOutdoors]

@milkbig550 I tried that after the video mate, the wood split :-(

[Melthornal]

@ColinOutdoors :( That is sad. If the other end is still usable you could try using a wedge to hold it in place.

[ColinOutdoors]

@Melthornal Yeah I think its ok, I had the idea of using just twine as a stop, should work ok hopefully :-) Thanks for the great ideas my friend

[SNAFU111999]

That hatchet is one useful tool.

[ColinOutdoors]

@SNAFU111999 It sure is :-)

[NewShooter60]

Boy you need to lay off the coffee..roflmao

[ColinOutdoors]

@NewShooter60 Haha, I sure do :-)

[Waldhandwerk]

Nice Work, ...and real fast ; ) Happy Day Sepp

[ColinOutdoors]

@Waldhandwerk Cheers Sepp :-)

[MJG164]

its ok you have to make mistakes so you know how to do it better the next time

[ColinOutdoors]

@MJG164 I agree my friend, thanks for your support
