Great Video! Thank you sir. I have taken down my old wooden planes, sharpened and trued them, and put them back to work thank to your teachings. Love what you are doing sir and I am very grateful. Finding a ton of joy in my woodworking now.
My wooden rabbet plane, marked '1776', has a number of nail holes for assorted fences. So, I added a fence using 2 nail holes. The plane is excellent. A fine video.
Perhaps you could also cover the Stanley 78 (or the superior Record 778) duplex rebate/fillister plane? These are generally much more common and affordable than any other of the other metal bodied planes you showed in the video. They are also regularly found with the bull nose broken off after being dropped onto a concrete floor so with the iron fitted to the front blade position it then becomes a chisel plane.
Thanks a bunch, Graham! 😃 You know, since it's so difficult to find those here in Brazil, I'm thinking about trying some cheap models from China... Who knows, perhaps some of them can be good. Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
@gjbmunc Well, I didn't buy any yet, but I bought lots of stuff from there... And there are plenty of fake stuff, simply bad products and so on, but there are good stuff as well. You just need to take care and search a lot before buying anything. You know? For example, I also play with rc and FPV stuff... And every part of my drones comes from there. And as I said, there's the bad, but there's the pretty good as well.
I knew about all of the rebate ( yes I am a Yank and I think rebate is far more appropriate then rabbet! Lol) but I didn’t know about the curved rebate plane ! That is cool to see.
I am a bit confused by your use of the term bullnose plane, from other sources I have mainly seen it used for a rabbet plane with a short piece of sole before the iron (like the, camera, rightmost of the three bullnose planes you showed) and the rabbet plane with no sole in front of the plane referred to as a chisel plane.
Hi Graham, slightly off topic. With regards to a "Joiners Rod", do you happen to know how the term "rod" came to being or what it means? Many thanks and kind regards.
