Locks can be a bit tricky to install well on boxes and cases. They typically require multiple mortises of varying depths, and things don’t always line up quite right. Measuring can work, but I find it best to use the lock itself to lay everything out. Here’s how.
Today, we have the Patron Extra podcast from November 2018. In this show, I talk a bit about my favorite woods to work with.
If you have an old saw that needs a new handle, you will have to transfer the location of the saw bolt holes from the saw blade to the new handle blank.
Today, we have the Patron Extra podcast from August 2018. In this show, I answer a question from a listener about coloring wood and preventing blotching.
Sticking with the saw theme, in today’s video I’ll do a little simple saw doctoring.

Today, we have the Patron Extra podcast from July 2018. In this show, I answer a question from a listener about restoring an old oil stone.
This is the introductory video to my Hand Saw Foundations course.
I recently built myself a couple of continental European style frame saws, also called bow saws. Rather than making my typical style video where I do lots of talking and explaining, I decided to just let the camera roll while I shut up and worked. So enjoy the silence.
I have never really understood all of the hesitation that folks have learning to sharpen their own hand saws. It’s no more difficult than learning to sharpen a plane iron or a chisel. All it takes is a small investment in some simple, inexpensive tools and a few minutes of practice.
My plan was to make the course live after I had all of the content created, edited and uploaded. Apparently, I goofed.
