Hand Tool Rescue's Yule Log to Toothpick

HamOnTheCob

Where is the narrated version?

So I showed my wife the last few minutes after I spent the first 2.5 hours glued to my phone watching this riveting, could not stop watching entertainment. I said to her "I can't believe that is how toothpicks are made", she replied "That's really how they make them" , I had to just walk away before I got in trouble (again). Thank you for this wonderful moment of messing with my wife.

Your dedication to the craft is both inspiring and befuddling. I’m sure your chiropractor laughed all the way to the bank when he saw this one.

Hand Tool Rescue

Hahaha, amazing.

Hand Tool Rescue

Interesting!

Who did it better? https://www.leevalley.com/en-ca/discover/woodworking-videos/2020/december/how-to-make-an-artisanal-toothpick

Also, my 17 year old pug, whose alzheimer's is getting pretty bad, is watching this with great interest while I work. He's not really a TV dog so you have apparently found the only genre to interest him.

This is absolutely going on in the background while we open gifts Christmas morning.

OooooooK

Not sure whether to use a "Gun Show" joke, or a "Snakes on a Plane" joke, but this was definitely the best Die Hard movie in at least twenty years.

Is this how Canadians keep warm in the winter?

Hand Tool Rescue

Never was.

Peter Laws

THIS is why I am a patron!

Peter Laws

Why not?

Mac-da-Bits

He is not just ok, he is fantastic!

William R Dougherty

Dude, are you ok?

Jonah Ferdman-Hayden

You just won modern art, now tape that shit to a wall. seriously though, this is the stuff of mythology. I can just imagine some Norse demigod having to chisel a tree into a spoon to de able to drink from the lake of eternity to find his real mom and ask her about how Odin knocked her up. You're a god damn legend.

Fear not, Mr. HTR. A vaccine has been approved with another on the way, and the King has been deposed (altho he doesn't know it yet). Our long dark night approaches the dawn!

Old Crow Bourbon

If I could only have you near To breathe a sigh or two I would be happy just to hold the hands I love But they’re calloused as hell because you’ve been making toothpicks again.

Alaskan Rock Vodka

Thanks!

Must be some long cold nights up there in Saskatchewan. Even Johnny Harris might not stop by.🤨..😉

This would pretty cool to see in time lapse, watching them shavings build up to the point where you almost could the vice 🤣 then the ending I was damn laughing so hard, the worlds most expensive tooth pick 🤣🤣👊🏽

But... why?

Marc McKenzie

Ah... the warm holiday sounds of the shaving of a yule log 🪵. It inspires us all that you keep the old traditions alive! I’m off to the North Sea 🌊 to catch fresh herring to pickle with eggs for Christmas Eve dinner.

Frenky

Me too! I think there was a part of this story, where the owner said, we have to make the process better: lets make toothpicks faster! (but still 1 log 1 toothpick)

Glenn Severance

You are insane!

You should frame it. 🎅

Brian Myers

I kept expecting you to use a smaller plane but nope...not our HTR! Go big all the time. Well done.

Mauricio Mariano

I could only remember this cartoon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jn4k2TPIJf0

Hand Tool Rescue

I can't believe by body didn't give out.

Stephen Boots

😂 Insanity! But the ending! LOL!

Brian Myers

I thought he was just going to use a lathe...then I saw the length. I almost feel like I should up by pledge level...feeling gone!

Janet Dupree

You are crazy! I did two loads of laundry, baked a cake, road my exercise bike 10 miles, and gave my dog a bath while watching and/or listening. I love your quirky sense of humor. Ha! Ha! Actually, I fast forwarded about 98%, all the while hoping I did not miss anything. Thank goodness you saved the best for the end.

Bukka

If you close your eyes, it sounds like Pinocchio having a good time

Steve Seidel

EPIC!

Clifton Ballad

"Ooh! a new HTR vid to watch while eating breakfast! Cool! .... Wait, the whole log??? " *checks how long the video is* You. Magnificent. Bastard.... Bravo.

Mac Armstrong

Every time I see that fireplace I think of The Friendly Giant.

Maximum ridiculousness!!

Hand Tool Rescue

I painstakingly colour-corrected, audio-enhanced, and framed every second to ensure the perfect painful watching experience.

It took 4 cups of coffee but I watched it. Worried you would drop it in the shavings. Glad that didn’t happen.

Chad from ManCrafting™

At least the edit was easy.

John McCormick

My grandfather worked so hard in his childhood he died at the age of 3. Not from the hard work but from emphysema.

Brian Myers

Next do one using every chainsaw you own. From cutting the tree down!

Brian Myers

Thank you for this...I needed it today. Haha.

Hand Tool Rescue

I should do one for this video where I just debate myself over what is and isn't a sandwich.

Hand Tool Rescue

Me too!

Next video is a nativity scene converted into a shipping pallet 😂

I've ordered 4. I hope they ship in time for the holidays.

What? No narration? Are you slacking off?

Alex Hosselet

Just like grampa used to make!
