“if it does the work, go for it” more people need to hear that about more things

@AHauntedArmy 7 месяцев назад

i use my block plane for small pieces also, find bench planes to clumsy on really small stuff.

@am2dan 7 месяцев назад

Thank you for not using the provocative, click-baity, "You _are_ using the block plane wrong". Turns out I'm using it "right". _I.e.,_ wherever it works best. Thanks for the content!

@flintcoat2596 7 месяцев назад

My Dad also used a block plane on the end grain of boards. I, and especially my Dad, learned carpentry before power tools were a thing. I was never as patient with sharpening as my Dad so I only used my block plane for chamfering.

@miket2120 7 месяцев назад

My first hand tool more complex than a chisel was a Lee Valley low angle block plane. When I first used it on a hunk of poplar, I was amazed on how thin and smooth I could shave the wood. It sits quietly in my shop apron, ready to be used for chamfering, smoothing end grain and the occasional edge of a board when I refuse to walk 15ft to get my bench plane.

I have a low angle block plane from Veritas, fitted with a high angle plane iron and a full-size tote and knob, which makes a weird but actually comfortable #1 smoother. It is dumb and I love it. PS : doing so, I finally have an excuse to ALSO buy a DX60, hehehe. In the meantime, my normal block plane use is done by my rabetting block plane from Dictum, a very good value.

@vince55sanders 7 месяцев назад

Nice! i got the tail knob set for my 3 dot low angle and very happy with it. also just got the chamfer guide that works exactly as advertised.

I am so new to wood working and this video is awesome. Thanks you answered my question!

@jonahnesmith7004 7 месяцев назад

I can’t believe you did Blockface at the end there. Very insensitive.

To quote Rex's video today: "It has a F****** HANDLE!"

They are really good for setting nail slivers

@bakerzermatt 4 месяца назад

I just got one, and I find I like it for similar purposes as my ryoba: Good for working where I don't have normal workholding available. I'm working on a big chair right now (lambing chair, look it up, I bet you'd like building one) and it's already set up, but it needs some more work. The block plane and ryoba are handy for working in awkward positions.

@Unownerdead 7 месяцев назад

These days, my block plane has become my favorite shooting plane. Far more comfortable to hold sideways than a 4 or 5, and the low angle helps cut the end grain.

@skateboardist1686 7 месяцев назад

Once again perfect, I’m starting to become interested in your performance. The information you give is invaluable too. Thanks

@DetroitSicilian 7 месяцев назад

Great content thanks.

A blockhead? Yes, we knew that!

@JustinShaedo 7 месяцев назад

I'm most certainly a power tool woodworker... But I use my bench plane on probably 50% of projects. Hand planes are just so handy.... Maybe I need to consider a block plane too?

@iainburgess8577 7 месяцев назад

Yep. It's a tool; use it. Check it when you buy it; re-zero it, test it, fiddle with it until familiar. But use it as it works best For You. Anything that isn't outright damaging, and if necessary, even that. It's a Tool. Use it.

@richardallanhopkins2690 3 месяца назад

Well said 😂

@dandelie2067 7 месяцев назад

I like to use my Wood River low angle block plane. I just don't go over board. I would not want to be known as a block head.😂

I'm a power tool/machine guy. I really wish I could justify a quality set of planes

@officialtree5245 7 месяцев назад

Random question, at what point would u say a mechanical planer is worse than a hand plane? I have a few bench planes, but they can't even out wood the best since so far my glue ups warp and i have to spend a few months sandind/planing them.(i dont do woodworking that often) I'm guessing a no4 or no5 is best for smoothing a face, rather than fixing a warp, right?

@WoodByWrightHowTo 7 месяцев назад

Electric planer is good for taking off a lot of material but it is very poor taking off a small amount of material. Usually somewhere around a 16th of an inch I wouldn't want to use an electric.

@KBorham 7 месяцев назад

You will want to step up your sharpening game. Mechanical planers are worse with figured and wild grain, and end grain like a cutting board.

@Mike-fp7rv 7 месяцев назад

Ive heard your not supposed to set those down blade side down. Is that true?

@WoodByWrightHowTo 7 месяцев назад

That is an old myth that started post world war II. It is not a problem at all.

@lvl800elite 7 месяцев назад

What do you use to keep your head shaved? I’ve been using a razor, but I’m looking at better options.

@WoodByWrightHowTo 7 месяцев назад

Just a Gillette razor in the shower. No cream needed.

@redead..1 Месяц назад

I use block plane for every thing bc I can't afford a new or even a used plane😅

@mattholmes8214 7 месяцев назад

I thought you were going to make a bi-plane joke. I suppose there's always next time.

@majinkakashi20 7 месяцев назад

Different strokes for different folks?.. That's what SHE said!!! 😂😂😂 Hey but seriously, other than it being one handed and maybe some people are to lazy to use both, wouldn't a spokeshave be better for chamfering?

@KhaosGorvin 7 месяцев назад

Today I learned I've been using the block plain wrongly. Then again, I'm too cheap to get a decent hand plane.

@barryallenporter8127 7 месяцев назад

Keep your eye out for used bench planes. You can get a really nice antique plane that doesn’t need much work for under $20

@timbo389 7 месяцев назад

Decent smoothers and jacks can be found at decent prices. I have a several jack planes that I’d let go for $25 apiece.

@stevekelley1179 2 месяца назад

What about a finger plane ???hummm???

@vince55sanders 7 месяцев назад

"Block head" now we know how you shave your end grain.

@youhaveamonkey 7 месяцев назад

I find them to be just about useless. Bench planes are just easier for me.

@jimdavis8391 7 месяцев назад

It has nothing to do with the size, shape or weight of a block plane. They simply were not designed for planing along grain, they are primarily an end grain tool. Bench planes have double irons with a chip breaker (cap iron), that's the main reason they are more effective for long grain planing operations.
