Video quality is good and the end products look great. I was laughing so hard though. There is a certain amount of unintentional comedy at clicking a video to see making a hand plane and instantly see the use of a jointer and planing machine. Irony really is funny.
We recently lumbered a 36" maple, a 36" white ash, and a 32" pecan. After drying, we tried planing with a Rigid (Home Depot) 13" planer with 2 HSS knives ru-vid.comUgkxIzvvTi3_Qc8JnVdYYRJCvuoDC4QjTzeL . This job was clearly too much for that machine. The pecan was particularly difficult, due to heavy mineral deposits, and a sharp pair of HSS knives would be consumed by a mere 3 boards. We were also having lots of problems from chip bruising, due to poor dust collection. The shavings came off like straw and jammed in the 4" hose.We bought the DW735 simply to be able to run carbide blades, which worked brilliantly for the pecan. However, we found it to be a much, MUCH nicer machine. It was far more rigid than the "Rigid" planer, and far more accurate as well. But what I liked most about it was the dust feed. This machine has its own blower, which shreds the "straw" like shavings as they come off the cutting head and helps boost the shavings into the dust collection system. No more clogs! It's also nicely sealed so that the internals stay quite clean. This is just a well tempered machine that's a delight to use. It literally cut the labor in half. Just another example of getting what you pay for.
Having a cheap block of parafin wax (check the canning supply aisle of the grocery store) seems to be a must have for wooden planes. A light swipe across the sole before use will reduce the amount of friction between the plane and your workpiece. By the way, it also great for any hand saws as well. I only recently learned this, being self taught. Thank you for making this video, keep up the good work!
Good job! I have two tips for you. 1) Wax your table top before you put down PSA sandpaper. It will release easier. 2) Denatured alcohol isn't a solvent for almost any glue. Better solvents are mineral spirits, turpentine, lacquer thinner, acetone, MEK, xylene and naptha. Any of them will loosen the glue. I like to use a slow-evaporating solvent - usually mineral spirits. Let it soak for a minute like you did and it will come right off. Put a bit more on a paper towel to clean up any glue left on the surface after the sandpaper is off.
Молодец,умница!! Прекрасная,грамотная работа и инструмент!! Респект,уважение,Большущий Лайк!! И без перевода всё понятно и профессионально снято и сделано!! Подписан,лайк!! Удачи,успеха,благополучия,здоровья.
as always great video Matthew hope the move is going well for you love of these hand planes turned out good stuff bro! wish cocobolo wasn't $60 a board foot where I live .but i still might pick some up and try ro make one one of these days ..soon.thanks for sharing this bro!
MM Wood Studio love them very awesome and you are right I remember you saying something similar to me about the Leaning using hand planes and now I have both of them but I wanted LOL hope all is well in the ATL
I find the lateral adjuster difficult. It needs to be a little longer for leverage in my opinion. However the planes work really well and are more comfortable than my Stanleys.
Buenas tardes ... amigo, soy aficionado a la carpintería y quiero hacer un proyecto que desde hace tiempo lo tengo en mente .. una mesa para jugar dominó .. me gusta su trabajo, es detallado y excelente .. podría usted ayudarme con este proyecto? haciendo un vídeo, fabricando una mesa para jugar dominó
Aprecio la solicitud, pero esto no es algo con lo que tenga tiempo para ayudarlo. Si está buscando ideas sobre tablas, me gustaría consultar finewoodworking.com y los proyectos archivados en su sitio web.
Philippe Benoiton and how exactly do you think manufacturers of high-end wooden planes do it? Tables full of elves working with only hand tools? That wood is hard as a rock -very difficult to work strictly by hand. It's possible, but pointless. This notion that only hand tools require skill and craftsmanship is ridiculous. Machines have been a part of fine craftsmanship for 100s of years. It's absolutely pointless to make an operation require 10x and much time just to claim it was done with "hand tools". It adds no value whatsoever to the finished piece, because nobody is going to reimburse the workman for using the slowest possible method to get to the same place.
Hand tool craftsmanship when done properly usually takes less time do for the fact of not having to set up machinery and is safer. Now if setting up for doing multiples of the same operation like mass manufacturing then yes machinery is just like "high-end planes" are made in less your talking about less then a hundred years a go where in fact men were making hand planes by hand for you can see the tool markings to prove it so don't be pretentious. This is a great video, very educational but i would love to see the same video using only hand tools for not only the purists out there but for the man that can't afford table saws and the like.
You see, the reason someone would be watching this video would be because they need a hand plane but don't want or can't afford to buy one. Therefore, your target audience does not possess a hand plane and therefore would be hoping that the video will instruct them on how to make a hand plane without requiring a hand plane to make it. However, you depended on a hand plane to make the hand plane, thereby failing to meet the needs of your target audience. Do you understand the mistake that you made now?
This is a nice video, however, your grain direction is off for the plane. Traditional wooden planes have then quartersawn faces on the sides, not the sole
You know, if I had $100,000 worth of state of the art power tools, I probably wouldn't need to make a plane. Anyone know a tutorial that shows how to make one with real tools that a smoe like me might have on hand?
Make yourself a hand plane , first your going to need a load of expensive machines and workshop and your going to need to buy a couple hand planes to finish the work .
Why do you need a bunch of expensive tools? Because its what they show? First one I made was a rebate plane on my porch by using wood, hand saw, pencil, hand chisel, one power cut off wheel to cut handle off chisel, wood file, sand paper and a small hammer. If you cant figure out you dont need the expensive equipment, workshop, etc. then you should move on and look for another hobby. They didnt have this stuff you speak of 150 years ago and dont need it today either. Yes all these wooden planes can be made today without the big fancy tools and workshop, just have to use your brain.
So I guess this is just an advertisement for your classes. No info as to where to get the hardware, or actual dimensions. I wasted my time with click bait.
