I have a little brace carving to do on my acoustic guitar build before I can close the box. I decided to figure out how to make some small wooden finger planes to help carving the braces. I cut, shaped, and heat treaded the plane irons from a table saw blade, then made several planes from some different scraps of hardwood. These work great and I cant wait to use them in carving my braces. Its so fun to make these and I'm sure I will make some more.

This is exquisite work. I am a want-to-be luthier who is trying to figure out how to get started and how to build my own tools. Thank you

What a great looking set of planes!

@homebuiltshop 9 месяцев назад

These were so fun to make and use. I want to make some more just to play with the design.

Perhaps I missed something but can you please make a video on how to make the blade (iron) using a table-saw blade? That’s the part I was truly curious about how to do. Amazing video and thank you very much for taking the time to teach us this craft of finger plane making.

@homebuiltshop 3 месяца назад

I made the irons in this video from the old saw blade.

@youtubecommentor4480 3 месяца назад

@@homebuiltshop⁠… Thank you! I watched the video again. I initially missed that part where you explained everything about making the blades. All explained starting at 2:05 and ending at 6:17. All good! Thanks Jeff!

@jugbrewer 6 месяцев назад

great video! friction is completely independent of surface area, so it was probably the smooth surfaces causing the wedge to slip, not the size : )

@PBWilson1970 Год назад

Those are really cool and I like your sense of experimentation! For the one that doesn't cut as well, you could try to install it with the blade bevel up and grind an angle to make the bed angle and bevel angle somewhere around 90 degrees combined and use it as a scraping plane. It might not work for shaping braces, but it might be usable on harder woods like guitar binding, edges of a bridge or maybe on a headstock overlay. Just a thought!

@homebuiltshop Год назад

Thanks for the idea. I may just try that. If my math is correct, with a 55 degree bed angle and a 30 degree bevel on the iron I'm already at 85 degrees. I'll have to flip it over and see what happens.

@MCsCreations 2 месяца назад

Hey man, I just discovered your ch and already subscribed! But a question: have you thought about making blades out of hacksaw blades? They're freaking hard and pretty close to the size already! Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

@homebuiltshop 2 месяца назад

Thats an interesting idea. My first thought is that they might be too thin and may possibly bend when in use. Of course I don't know that for sure, so it might be worth trying out.

Thanks!

@paulwaldrop2262 Год назад

Nice video. Quit proving to me that I need more tools. :D

@homebuiltshop Год назад

Sorry about that. Lol. I thought you had some of these, or are you referring to a belt grinder? Both are quite necessary in my opinion.

@janettehill8544 6 месяцев назад

You missed a step in the hardening process. It is important to anneal the metal first before going on to hardening. To anneal the steel, heat to the critical point (ie the non magnetic temperature) then bury in hardwood ash or lime, until cool to room temperature. Then you can proceed to harden and temper.

In the plane with steep angle and won't cut, you could make into scraper plane just by adding anther piece of wood the the back portion. That will force the blade into a perpendicular position. Instead of not using it. You can also take a file to the back portion to lower the angle and see if that works. On something so tiny it wouldn't take much filing to get it down to 30°. Enjoyed watching this a lot!

@gm3087 10 месяцев назад

If I'm correct the sawblade you use is one with tungsten-carbide tips. This means the sawing action will be done bij the tips, not the blade. If you want to be sure the material you use for blade-making is a high-carbon (capable to be heat-treated) steel, you better use an old file, or a sawblade where the cutting tip is the same material as the rest of the blade. Anyway: I think this is indeed carbon-steel when looking at the sparks and a very nice build. Best regards from the Netherlands

@Neptune730 Год назад

Those are cool. I think I'm going to have to make a couple for my wood boat models. The question now is what to make them out of. Wood, metal, 3d print or a combination of materials.

@homebuiltshop Год назад

You need to make a few. I did 3D print the very first one just to check the size I was thinking about. I think they would work great that way but I do feel its almost faster to make them out of wood if you use CA glue. I might modify my 3D printed design and try using it just for fun though. Printing them is definitely more repeatable though.

@red58impala Год назад

Nice little plans and thanks for sharing your process. These little planes have been on my to-do list for quite some time. I guess I need to get to making some!

@homebuiltshop Год назад

Thanks. You need to make some of these. They're surprisingly fun to make.

@racmakes Год назад

I dont mind, scribein with my caliper :D I always drop them anyways :D

@homebuiltshop Год назад

Lol, I don't mind either. It hasn't damaged the tips yet, they're still nice and sharp.

@kelleymandolins6519 Год назад

Nice work, Jeff!!

Thank you. These are fun to make.

Mmmm. Nachos.

@Kevin.odonnell Год назад

You can speed up the glue up and do both sides at once by shooting a staple in and cutting off the legs, or using a pin or two to provide an anti slip barb which will prevent sliding during glue up. One process, one clamping, less mess!

@homebuiltshop Год назад

Thats a good idea. The ones I made with CA glue went together really fast as well.
