In today's episode i'm gonna build a classic coffin smoother with unknown patent to adjusting the mouth. Seat back, relax and enjoy the video :) BTW Check the timeline - i'm gonna cut the video into sections with some text notes. I hope it will make the video clear for you and will answer for your questions. Let me know how you like it! Materials: - quartersawn beech - an old plane blade and cap iron - presto mag liquid oxydation - boiled linseed oil - shellac orange If you have any questions or sugestions just write a comment.
That's an interesting way of adjusting the mouth, the precursor to the frog we are all familiar with I guess. It's always fun to see the compass plane getting used. I would have loved to have seen a video of making the plane float(s) maybe next time you make one. As usual lovely work Mr Gakos.
Dear Mr. Gakos- I tried to check your Instagram with no luck! I was wondering if you make any of these for purchase, if so where can I find your merchandise to place some orders? 😁
Hahaha! I just got a wooden razee jack plane to use as a short jointer since it's quite a bit longer than my no. 5 and completely neglected to look at the wedge and saw that it was waaay too small for it, like it was made for a 1 3/4 inch smoother that the estate sale people kind of shoved in there and was tearing my hair out figuring out how to make a new one and remembered what you did to make this one. Your planemaking vids are lifesavers for this newbie hobbyist woodworker and planemaker/plane kludger. Thank you! Now to figure out how to fix the tote.
I hate that some youtubers get so many followers for being clickbait, or by acting insane, while you have Steve sitting over here being a absolute master of craft. Steve I envy your mind and ability to bring your inspirations to life.
Glad to see you brother. I hope all is well with you and your family. My wife lost her father to Covid so please take every precaution. Beautiful work yet again.
Mr. Stavos Gakos; Very nice plane! Have you ever attached an oily base like lignum vitae or maybe a boxing made of hard brass? Can you please make a video showing how you make your plane-maker’s floats and other tools? Thank you for your tutelage and honest portrayal of your work. I especially trust your presentations when you point out mistakes and wear bloody bandages. I’m like you; let it bleed, but we clean and bandage the cuts to prevent staining the project with blood. Staining in a small area with blood causes an uneven finish and color in the entire project. To solve this problem, a person either stains the entire project in blood or none at all. Take care, Bill from rural Minnesota USA.
Amazingly nice work and skills. I didn't get the double wedge until the end. That blew my mind as a way to adjust the cut and make the plane more versatile. Bravo!
Excellent travail et un magnifique rabot. J'admire la qualité de coupe de vos outils. Mais là qualité de coupe seule ne suffit pas, il faut aussi la dextérité de l'utilisateur. On en a une illustration à 15 :00 environ. Pour couper du bois dur en travers du fil de cette façon, il faut les 2 : qualité de coupe et dextérité, et vous avez les 2. Bravo et merci pour cette belle vidéo. A bientôt et prenez soin de vous et de vos proches. Encore merci
Maybe it's heresy, but the irons looked gorgeous before the oxidation. Maybe consider it for another plane. And thank you for using a compass plane, it was the first time I've ever seen one used. Instantly on my wishlist!
@@StavrosGakos after watching your other videos I made a boxwood and ebony mitre plane last week and enjoyed the experience. Will have to make another one (or four) now! By the way, I was wondering how does your smoother manage with woods that have more interlocking grain/tearout problems than the piece shown in the video?
Awesome always enjoy watching you making planes. Makes me want to try my hand. I look forward to when you are on thank you. Want to see new what's next.
Just a small tip, ive read somewhere, that yo should not use the bluing liquid straight from the bottle. The chemicals you bring in with the brush (when brushed on the steel) can make the liquid go bad. Instead its better to pour a small amount into another container and use it all up in one go.
I love and admire your works and the flawless 'no talk' presentation. Thanks for sharing thee artisans craft of long ago. Fan for life. Now when will you show us the most essential tool, your classic work bench? >>> Concord, New Hampshire
I love your videos and enjoy the masterful work you do. I wish you would show a little more real-time footage. I know the videos would be longer, but if you feel compelled to show sped-up filming because you feel the viewer would otherwise get bored, please don’t. You can’t please everyone, and those of us who love wood work will still be with you. Just a suggestion. Thanks for a great channel!
Very nice accurate chisel work .Don't see many people ,alright none so far,using a compass plane .BRAVO Stavros.That little palm plane is beautiful ,homemade by any chance?
Thanks for sharing your excellent craftmanship, I enjoy all of your videos. You are one of the few RU-vidr channels that I never skip ads on, you deserve the revenue. Keep up the good work!
Excellent travail,pas besoin d'outils Japonais!J'aime beaucoup.Je remarque juste que le coeur du bois a été placé dessus,alors qu'il est plus dur et que d'habitude on le met dessous,car il glissera mieux.
through and through this video is amazing! Stavros, I was a big fan of you, but now I'm even bigger fan :)! Great job with both - the plane and the video!
@@StavrosGakos Także dziękuję 😀. To jest chyba drewno dębowe. Narzędzia muszą być wyjątkowo ostre. Kiedyś docinałem kliny dębowe, aby wzmocnić połączenia nóg krzeseł z siedziskiem. Trudna to praca. No, ale teraz muszę zamówić tranzystory do liniowego sterowania, nowej generacji silnikiem synchronicznym BSMH (BLHF-RM). Gratuluję Panu wiedzy, talentu i dokładności. Serdecznie pozdrawiam 😀. This is probably oak wood. Tools must be extremely sharp. I used to cut oak wedges to strengthen the joints between the legs of the chairs and the seat. It's a difficult job. Well, but now I have to order transistors for linear control of the new generation BSMH synchronous motor (BLHF-RM). Congratulations on your knowledge, talent and accuracy. Best regards 😀.
I love watching your videos. Skills are top notch, both in metal working and wood. Only advise to you would be to soften the noise and wall color of your new shop. The acoustics were better before. The white walls and LED lights show up much harsher. I think you mentioned you get up at 4:00 am to do work on these videos. I am curious what your day job is???? Can you make your own radius plane?? I think you are ready for a new challenge. Appreciate your hard work and dedication to the crafts shown.
Thanks! The acoustic were better because i worked on 5 m2, now the workshop have 30 m2 and it's almost empty yet. I hope that future wooden cabinets will suppress the light. Now i don't work so early becouse our bedrooms are above the workshop. My day job is office worker, nothing special. I have stanley no 113 so i think i don't need another radius plane :) Cheers!
MAGNIFIQUE ! C'est un superbe travail ! Bravo Monsieur ! Mais, j'ai rêvé ou bien la perceuse colonne que l'Artiste utilise (à 8.22) est une perceuse MANUELLE. Le forêt est relativement lent et on voit une ombre comme s'il tournait une manivelle ? Quel beau travail ! 😃
