Home Kit Carving - Make A Bench Peg!

it's similar from somebody again and we will be showing you how to make something quite different it's actually what we call bench pin or Pinchbeck traditionally I think it is by jewelers for them to do things like sewing so during James I think but I also find it very handy especially together with this home kid when you want to do stuff related to carving so this one looks pretty awful right now because I've used it quite a lot you can see it's a lot of wear marks on it but the thing about bench peg is that it's actually a sacrificial block so you can make as many as you need whenever you need it and you customize it exactly as well yeah we'll use this blend later on but it could me I'm gonna need your back saw probably chisels possibly the man oh you definitely need a minute for the whole bus yeah a few features of the bench by the agency this tape on the sign and that very obvious V group which is it the two kind of my fingers over here so naturally with this I'm gonna mark out where I'm gonna be sewing first I wouldn't require such a deep move it was just a big piece of wood maybe let's try something yeah there's room enough and for the table Oh keep it too trying to keep enough flecks of these over here so the whole fast game blocking only done so same thing with the back saw but it's a slight angle your soul mate just angled it you're gonna be alright at least cuz you can see it's bit longer uh might be a bit harder to keep it straight but it's the same idea going at the same angle then keep it consistent movement as far as you can go oh you also notice that at some point it's gonna reach this part of bench in which case I'm gonna move this up and place another supporting but block below yeah I don't want to place this I don't secure this too high up right now before I've started making a cut because it's gonna wobble a lot [Music] piece of extra support you it's just to do the downward pressure from so I cut a little bit higher than what we originally marked out and the reason why is because they'll they will produce a small shoulder here which could be so you seen the ring making video done by see here one Bobby Eurasian notice that what we do is Mount Blanc kind of on something that's finger like this is one of the examples of working the bench paying something that works for you well clearly this isn't gonna fit so that's when you grab that chisel shape it down if you have a rasp or foul now you're gonna do it a bit faster as well we see one tons to chisel down on the ship such that I'm able to fit this size of the ring in here oh you have a bigger ring you don't have to chisel down this much you have a smaller ring you might have to which is a lot more but as long as it kind of can sit there you can actually stop working on the copy so that's what gives you a good anchor and if I were to stop using this area I can pretty much find any other angle I want yeah shoulde over here comes in handy because I am just back it up here and nothing I can actually do is cut smaller shouldering and one of these arms which might even give me a bit more support when working on the ring other examples of things you can cuff using justice bench prank oh I mean if you're making a pendant and you just want to cut something faster than like that this would be very helpful for it because you've got quite irregular shape you can't really anchor it down most of the time oh you wouldn't be able to hold for something this long and that's when you can back it up what do you want do it like this it'll go if you have over here it makes it quite nice for scraping slicing and keeps both your fingers well all your fingers all the way because the peg is holding it there for you you got small shapes that you want to work on as well ah this bench press will be pretty helpful just because of the number of angles that you can anchor this miss piece it another video that I might be doing soon is spoon carving so the bench peg is are you gonna be very useful for helping shape this one as well in the shop you have a lot more machinery but if you don't have that here most of it's gonna be done using chisels and so so you see you can see I'm working on the cup of this spoon over here and a lot of ways I can then go in and maybe move right there again the very helpful both because it's safety in the sense that you can keep both your hands on tools or one of them securing the peg just below here rather than not having anything in front of you and another thing is that it's a completely sacrificial block so see if I really hot on top here then I should all fly forward all I get is the that shoulder over there I'm not blunting my toes and a holdfast I'm certainly not cutting me my hand chosen of line any measurement of the blank you use for the bench bag is actually pretty all right over here this one's about 20 cm long and this one's only about that means here but they both look perfectly fine when in currency rings or anything else I guess it's up to you depending on what you're trying to make and I also know the size means completely different woods this is pine this is African mahogany one's a lot harder than the other but again because their sacrificial blocks it does not matter so that's it about bench pits oh I will try to make like a bunch of videos regarding carving some small objects be like pendants small animals eventually spoons but definitely interested in wood carving the place to start would be to create these bench pins to walk along with your home kit yeah I also make a video about how to read wood grain so small carvings become a bit easier do you like and subscribe and I'll see you in future videos
