Join Wranglerstar in this unique exploration of carpentry tools through the ages in Episode 6 of our Cozy Log Home DIY series. This episode features a show-and-tell of some of my most cherished vintage timber framing tools, including a historic Whites Slick from 1837 and a beloved Robert Sorby 1.5" timber framing chisel that I used to build a timber-framed cabin.

Delve into the finesse of traditional woodworking as I cover my collection of Japanese pull saws, showcasing the precision and artistry behind these essential tools. Midway through the episode, I demonstrate the meticulous process of sharpening framing chisels using diamond stones, guided by Caroline’s steady hand and expertise.

The highlight of our episode is when I use the newly sharpened chisel to precisely let in a Douglas Fir 2x6 into a 6x6 PT timber, which forms the foundation for our cozy cabin’s 400 amp power service base that I timber framed. This practical demonstration not only showcases the effectiveness of well-maintained tools but also bridges the gap between traditional and modern carpentry techniques.
