Got home and looked at it on the laptop, bit prouder on the blade protrusion1/2 mill to mill, too deep of cut and slow your hands down it's not a sprint, next start at the toe and work yourself back to the heal 5 to 6 passes this will develop the rabbit.

At the start of video you showed the blade moving, raise the pivot screw up a coup of turns now put lever cap on and adjust the back nob this will increase the pressure on the iron. Next is the cutting edge square to the side of the blade, eg. not honed lopsided. Cheers Robin

What about putting a thin piece of trflon in the set to protect your sharpened teeth? You would have to adjust the set accordingly for the difference the teflon makes, of course.

Love the through wedge tenons!

Thatbisnsuch good advice. Where can we buy "New" extra blades? I been looking around . Not easy tonfind it seems

I like your mods and tips; but overall the Record 778 is a much better plane. The fence runs along two posts so it’s longer and much more rigid. Plus the blade has a screw adjuster which is easier to tweak.

Thank You. Nice work

does your fence moves a little bit even if you tight it well?

This is a spacer. Not a wedge.

What a wonderful little plane this is. I was able to make a perfect cross-grain rabbet as a beginner with just a little bit of patience. And I have some advice if your width stop is rattling like mine. Put a thin metal stick (such as a thin screwdriver) through the hole on that pole for the width stop, and twist it. Well I guess that’s what the hole is for actually, so it’s not really a tip. Do you have any advice for positioning the stops straight when locking them? I use a small hammer to adjust them but it takes some time. The screws’ torque tends to twist the stops too if you let it. People sell old no. 78s for as low as 30 bucks where I live but the stops are often missing.

Stardate 06.07.2023 update,,there’s no longer China on the blade and it’s a little bit better profiled and properly centred,and for people asking for it it’s only available at Canadian Tire in Canada,today price is $16.99 CDN pesos + tax…Enjoy…Knife itself is sturdy AF,l was prying out BBs and pellets out of pine board with it and I also heard somebody fend or killed the bear with it..That’s one tough little MF of blade and ergonomics are really good…

Where can I get one of those iron brands?

where are the other two parts to this series

I had the same problem with binding. I filed the leading edge of the cap iron to a sharp bevel to imitate a chip breaker. It worked.

A useful video. Thanks.

Dude get some hammers.

Found this really helpful indeed - thanks so much

Got mine for $40, needs a firing pin, and bead sight replaced. I ordered the firing pin from Numrich, I Re-Blued the barrel, polished and cleaned up the reciever and internals, sanded and Tru-Oiled the Stock and Fore grip, cant get the old bead sight out, may have to drill and tap it. Overall it's a beautiful piece of history that ide like to add another 100 years of life to lol.

Carrying one in my pocket now.😉 Bought one at twenty dollars Canadian and another because it went down to ten. 🤗 It looks perfect, for everyday tasks and even field dressing. Certainly the handle is a bit wider. The belly of the blade demands this and that is what makes it better for skinning.😉

Thanks for the tips. I have been getting into making picture frames and it is that back rabbet that I seem to have the most trouble with. I think being able to take the process slower using a hand plane will resolve my issues. Now to convince my wife to let me buy yet ANOTHER plane.... :). Thanks again!

Great review, thanks for doing this vid; very helpful

Just some FYI you can use the zip tie mod on the 311 kingsman for quick open. Look up zip tie folding knife mods. Works great. :)

Thanks much for sharing your expertise! I am restoring my first No. 78 and you have helped me tune it a great deal.

what size is the brass wire pin ur using if u don't mind me asking. oh and by the way i luv the way u made ur washers that's really cool.

Nice work. The wedge is supposed to be a wedge though, not flat. It works in conjunction with the taper on the tail to create a bow in the scales to allow the plunge line (usually the thickest area) to easily enter the scales.

I have just purchased one of these new from eBay. It hasn’t arrived yet. This video was helpful in what I should look out for. I’ll be making these modifications.

maybe honing the body might give you a square rebate: you also seem to be getting slight tear out on your inside edge. try honing the body

This is a wild build! lol don't know how I never made it over to check it out. I love it

Found a pair of them in an old tool chest passed down to me...would this be something I could use for my bandsaw mill blades?

✌

Is the product original ? 😊

Helpful video. Wenge is pronounced “when-gay”.

They are selling for over 100 bucks on ebay !!

Best set made !!! I wish lie neilson would produce this very set !!! The newer ones suck compared to this one !!! Good video !

Beautiful job as always Ray, its very satisfying to build furniture that you use and look at on a daily basis. Keep up the good work and cheers till the next one.

Wow Ray, what a beautiful desk. Well Done! Thanks for sharing.

great work keep it up … might suggest getting some dop sticks and wax... it will help you tremendously!

Nice video Ray

Good work Ray!

Looking great man! Keep up the good work and keep the videos coming!

Hi just watched part three liked it when you nipped yourself it’s not only me what does that occasionally made me chuckle when I seen the plaster towards the end of the video love the job you are doing on the razor some of the finest culturally steel in the in the world is made of Sheffield steel as it’s quite local to me only being 22 miles away also living in a steel town myself which is Scunthorpe 🔪

Nice old single shot, I have one of pop's old cooey's on my to do list. Lovely knife as well. The little shop that could did well.

Enjoyed your little series on your tiny shed Ray. Stevens cleaned up real nice, well done. I agree with you that the Stevens, regardless of value becomes priceless when handed down from generation to generation. As far as your shed goes it sounds like you can do the majority of your projects in there, and access to bigger spaces when you need them

Man, what a treasure, hiding beneath the years of dirt, rust, and neglect! You'll likely have that shotgun for years until it handed down to your son; an heirloom, in every sense of the word. That Tuckamore looks fantastic, especially in that scene. Beautiful! Thanks for the mention and kind words my friend.

Nice video, Ray. We had a 20 gauge Stevens much like that one when I was a boy. It was the first shotgun I hunted with. Thanks for stirring the fond memories!

Thanks for sharing ray Love the bologna on the fire ending lol

Hi, sorry about the volumes up and downs

Smart mod. As the saying goes "if it's not broke fix it"
