In this video I make a James Krenov style high angle smoothing plane out of Vera wood that uses a 1 3/4" Hock tools plane iron.
I got the Vera wood from www.gilmerwood... out in Portland, OR
The plane iron is from Hock tools www.hocktools.com/
The wax I used to prevent glue sticking to the plane

Oh, I love sketchbook!!!!! I moved to Bloomington/Normal a year ago and my local Binny’s carries them. Probably one of my favorite breweries. I also love Off Color brewing. Them and sketchbook might be tied for my favorite.

I grew up in the town sketchbook is brewed! I love it so much, but I’ve moved down south so I don’t get to drink it as often haha. Only when I visit

I have one made by Krenov when he was selling them. I want to make my own jointer style. Thanks for sharing the process. Good stuff.

Well my friend Todd will be very happy to learn about gilmerwood. thanks!

@FrankBowlesFurniture 3 года назад

Excellent! It’s the holy grail of lumberyards with high quality wood.

@brenttaylor6395 3 года назад

At 10:50 you see a close-up of the grain of the wood he is working with and I tell you, I nearly fell off my chair. What beautiful, surreal detail! I've not seen anything quite like that before. Like the fine fur of a cat.

@FrankBowlesFurniture 3 года назад

I know right?! The interlocking grain creates wonderful patterns. Thanks for watching!

Nice video. Gives all the tips i need to replicate this plane. I did find it ironically amusing to see all the power tools used to make a hand tool.

Could not decide on brass cross pin or krenov style wooden cross pin thanks for the help nice plane, but you already knew that.

Blood wood and paduk smell amazing when sanded or machined as well.

@matthewroszkowski4674 Год назад

Are you happy with hard exotic woods for your cross pin? Many builders suggest other more compliant woods like hickory or mahogany to grab the cap iron better. Great build!

@tstthomason Месяц назад

Do you always want the crosspin up 1.25”, or is that specific to certain planes? Is that just something you’ve found through trial and error?

@FrankBowlesFurniture Месяц назад

I keep my cross pin at 1.25 up from the sole for all my planes. That’s the way I learned and I’ve just kept doing it that way since

@What_Other_Hobbies 3 года назад

Very interesting video and some great trips and tricks. One question, why not use miter saw to cut rear ramp? It will leave a flat and pretty smooth surface. Is it because you need to use bandsaw to cut front ramp curve anyways, going to miter saw is an extra trip?

@FrankBowlesFurniture 3 года назад

Thank you! You can absolutely cut the rear ramp with the miter saw. My miter saw doesnt make a decent enough cut so Ill have to clean it up anyway with the low angle block plane. You're right about the forward ramp, 60 degrees is too steep for the miter saw and you want a bit of a curve to help eject shavings. So since im already there for that cut Ill just do both at the bandsaw.

You showed the process really clearly! Nice video editing and shot production! Great narration, too! Hey, @RexKrueger you should check this guy out, maybe do a collaboration!

@adama_woodworking 4 года назад

Hey, nice work on the video! Did you choose the high angel for dealing with cranky woods? Also, looks like you studied in Inside passage :) I also made a 60 degree plane when I was there out of Ipe - not as fancy as Vera :) but I like it.

@FrankBowlesFurniture 4 года назад

Thank you! Yeah I made the high angle for more difficult grain, and I had been looking at that Vera blank for a few years so I figured it was time haha. I did go to IP, absolutely loved it. Hope to go back one day

@ignaciomarqueztorres 3 года назад

@@FrankBowlesFurniture is this vera harder than Ipe?

@FrankBowlesFurniture 3 года назад

@@ignaciomarqueztorres Yes it is! If i had to chose Ipe or Vera to make a plane out of, I would go Vera all day.

Hey Frank, great video, thanks for sharing. About the file you used to shape the crosspin, do you recall if it's the italian needle file offered by Lee Valley?

@FrankBowlesFurniture 3 года назад

Thank you! I’m having trouble locating this file. I got it as a one-off, not in a set. It’s manufactured by Grobet USA and on their website I can’t seem to find that exact file. It’s a cut 00 with a safe edge. Similar to this file I linked www.grobetusa.com/swiss-precision-8-pillar-narrow-file-cut-00-item-31-230/#PhotoSwipe1603656868939

Great video. Thank you. Is that a Kreg bandsaw fence? Do you like it? I need one.

@FrankBowlesFurniture 3 года назад

Thanks! Yeah its a kreg fence and I really like it for a smaller bandsaw. Lots of adjustability and pretty easy to take off when I dont need it. 10/10 would recommend
