Don’t shoot your friends!

Interesting project. But you definitely made the wood-shaping process much more difficult than it needed to be.

man, this reminds me of of the slingshot channel. the days of early youtube. it was so good back then

There are these amazing new tools called saws, which remove large amounts of wood very fast. Much better than spending half a day chiselling out the excess material.

The perfect weapon for hunting tomatoes, eggs, and soda cans.

Someone PLEASE buy this guy a band-saw!!!!!

Thankyou for being honest about the time it actually takes to actually do some of this stuff. Also letting us see the failed attempts with the rollers. Many supposed DIY channels just show things almost magically coming together and intentionally edit the video in order to mislead people. I have also seen people cheat and do things like using high grade lumber to make furniture but lying and saying it was common pallet wood.

8:08 OMG, this is extremely dangerous for your thumb!

Very nice and beautiful build! That must have taken days without a bandsaw.

What an awful lot of hacking when a band saw would do most of the work in 4 cuts! But very imaginative use of common garden tools! Kudos!

Nice work, but just one thing.  You were using the chisel with the angled side up.  This causes deeper cuts into the wood, and can’t be corrected as you cut into the wood.  If the chisel is used with the angled side down, the amount of wood being taken off can be adjusted.

I’ve never seen someone inexperienced use unfamiliar tools and make something of such high quality. Kudos sir, very impressive!!

I can’t help but imagine Ron Swanson standing next to him…….judging.

Loved everything about this video! Showing my appreciation as a viewer by sharing this - use the face of your new chisel's bevel to "ride along the surface" of the wood. Bevel up will dig! Best wishes from NC! ☺️👍🏼

Nicely done
One tip hold you chisel the other way a rond.
The flat part up.
So your chisel not go in to the wood but it naturely go's out.
But nicely done for your first time 😊

Looks amazing. Well done.

Try flipping the chisel around.  It cuts differently depending which way the bevel faces.  To cut flat use the flat side.  To cut chunks out out use the beveled side.

You know when the video started I was thinking wow its going to be no power tools.  Then I saw the drill and all I can say is you need a bandsaw. You could have gotten good shape in probably 15min

I never saw a slingshot like that.Great work.

You created a beautiful and functional tool  👏
