A compass Plane is one of the least used tools in the shop, but when you need it the time savings and quality of the finished product make having it on hand so worthwhile.

Wow, I should be able to mess up a project good and proper with one of those compass planes!

@DawgsChamp88 Год назад

Thank you for this video. I've got a few Stanley planes I need to clean up and make usable. Someone shared this compass plane in a group I'm in and someone said there's plenty of videos on it so I came to find one. Your video was the first video so I clicked play. Glad I did. Very nice video with not wasting time yacking on & on & on like so many others love to do. I couldn't wait to see it in action. I hope I can find one of these one day. I love to collect old hand tools. Thumbs up and new sub.

Excellent video, James! I have become interested in old woodworking tools and had seen a few of these on that well-known online auction site. Quite a few priced beyond my hobby budget. Then I found a 3-fer with a No. 113 Compass Plane, a No. 5 Corrugated Sole Plane, and a No.78 Rabbet Plane. I had been actively looking for a No. 78 in decent condition yet not overpriced. Naturally I had to jump on the deal! Naturally, I’m subscribing to your channel, too! 😁

The 113 is one of the many tools that I will buy if I see but am not searching for

Wow never heard of such a tool but glad to know. James you have a much appreciation to hand tools.

@WoodByWright 6 лет назад

Thanks James!

@boat4life622 2 года назад

Good job. I was taught to allways Lay Planes on their Side to protect the sharp blade. Plus its a Plane not Plain.

@WoodByWright 2 года назад

I did a video about laying the plane on the side. Did a test setting them down hundreds of times to see which one is better.

@k3ith29 4 года назад

I commented on another video about compass planes. I see you have already covered them quite clearly.. Thanks a lot! Good information here.

@maggieshoemaker4583 6 лет назад

Thanks for demoing this plane. I happen to have one from an old family legacy. It is missing the handle that I am making in maple. I hope to use it in my meager attempts at adding distinctive features in furniture making.

@WoodByWright 6 лет назад

Sweet. Sounds like a fun project!

Thanks William my pleasure.

@lukewiseman9946 3 года назад

Hello James, I love your opening line, ending with "there's always a compass plane to guide you". But.....the way those two words are spelt in the opening seconds of the video nearly caused me to switch off. Compas???Plain??? Fortunately the spelling in the 'title' was the normal one. The video itself was really helpful. Thank you!

@WoodByWright 3 года назад

Thanks. Lol welcome to Wood by Wright. We usually have fun with the title card.

@StavrosGakos 6 лет назад

@WoodByWright 6 лет назад

thanks. I have been wanting to make it for a wile but it never came up in a project so I finally just broke down and did it.

@IntentionalGains 3 года назад

I'm glad you made this video. Came across this type of plane on eBay and thought, "What the heck is that?" Officially have getting one of these on my goals list!

@usageorgepa.3293 6 лет назад

Like most I love woodworking tools but have to hold myself back from "collecting goods" I'll hardly ever use. The other reason is shop space... Still I walk the local flea markets and can't contain myself,,lol...I'm still not sure if it's the woodworking or restoring old tools that grab me the most....Wonderful little problem.

@WoodByWright 6 лет назад

I am so the same way. 50% of why I ahve one is to hang it on the wall for the backdrop of my shop.

@randomorbit3376 3 года назад

I don't think ive ever seen a video showing a compass plane smoothing the outside of a curve.

@WoodByWright 3 года назад

Yeah that's the confusing one. Because you can always do an outside curve with a regular plane. So it's not as useful there but I'm inside curve it is very useful. I've used it a few times on outside curves. But it usually ends up being some very large circle.

@scottgorman7166 2 года назад

James I pickup a newer 113 many moons ago forgot I had it until I saw this video. So I broke it out blew off the dust checked the blade and found it to be ground to a scrub type blade from the previous owner. Ever see or hear of these planes with a scrub blade. Have any idea where I can get a standard blade for this plane? Thanks for the video. Maybe Lee Valley, Rockleer, Garrett Wade?

@WoodByWright 2 года назад

If you find an iron for a #3 bench plane it will work in there. I have never heard of anyone doing that, and don't know why anyone would.

@DesignEcologies Год назад

Thank you

@VerbranntiChaib1 3 года назад

I was asked to make a jig for a guitar maker, He needed a flat piece of wood scalloped out in the centre to a radius of 36 inches. I whipped out my compass plane and did the job in two hours. That was a few years ago, not much call for a compass plane these days. Yet. I would not part with mine

@johnnymackay4640 4 года назад

Thank you James, another entertaining and informative video. And I agree, the steampunk look is awesome - must be practical though 😂 sometimes.

@mattf9096 6 лет назад

This has got me thinking... Could you use a different iron and make a sort of scrub plane that takes off more material? And if so could you make bowls using it instead of a lathe?

@WoodByWright 6 лет назад

No you can not open the mouth at all. And for the bowl I would use a bowl adz to make one without the late. I am hoping to do a video on that soon.

@freddieg5080 6 лет назад

Thanks a lot I’m just getting started with hand tools again I got carried away too much with the power one I’m going to start collecting first hand planes! Do have any preference for a beginner like me Should I get new one or old like Stanley classic ? I love them ( old ) !!!

@WoodByWright 6 лет назад

It all depends on you. I love restoring old tools but some people want something that works off the bat. So it depends on your budget and what you find joy in.

@victoryak86 2 месяца назад

The one that you prefer (the newer model) is also a Stanley 113? I read the oldest Stanley is a 13 and then the improved it as you said. I’m buying one and trying to determine which model is the one you like. Thx.

@WoodByWright Месяц назад

The number 13 is an even older model and a much simpler design. The two I have here are both 113s. Just different types of the same one.

@Thom4123 6 лет назад

Very cool tool

@WoodByWright 6 лет назад

Thanks Thomas!

@thomasgronek6469 2 года назад

but my compass plane just had me going in circles. (lol) Thanks for the video

@freddieg5080 6 лет назад

So I’m assuming you preferred old ones me too I love restoring old as well I appreciate your honest opinion One silly question if you don’t mind what furniture do you normally make?

@WoodByWright 6 лет назад

I don't make a lot of furniture now, but whatever the house needs. I do not sell what I make so it is all for my wife and me.

@christianbaastrup2939 2 года назад

Great video! I would love if you did a follow up to this video, where you show how to plane a convex shape with the compass plane. Kind regards C

@WoodByWright 2 года назад

I might have to do it sometime. It's the exact same process, just the other direction

@ef2b 3 года назад

Do you have a video about round bottomed spokeshaves? I find them challenging, just like you showed for the compass plane on a flat surface: If I don't get the shave at exactly the right tilt it won't cut or might dig in. I'm getting better and feeling and adjusting as I go through the curve, but I've always wondered if this is a high-skill tool (as it seems to be) or if I'm just not understanding the tool.

@WoodByWright 3 года назад

I just did a live video on the second channel a week or so ago where I talked through them and showed some of the differences in spokeshaves. Generally with a round bottom it's just a skill to learn. I don't know if I would consider it a hard skill but like most hand tool skills it'll take four or five times of regularly using it until it clicks. Kind of like learning to use a chisel bevel down.

@andresnunez4099 6 лет назад

@WoodByWright 6 лет назад

Any thime.

@jerrystark6766 6 лет назад

Do you use the compass plane for "outside" radii? That is also kind of cool. Thanks.

@WoodByWright 6 лет назад

Jerry Stark yup the sole will flex both ways.

@wandererstraining 4 года назад

Hey, this looks like it could go the other way around and become concave. Is it the case? I could see it being really useful to plane the edges of a round tabletop.

@WoodByWright 4 года назад

Yes it can go both ways.

@wandererstraining 4 года назад

@@WoodByWright Awesome! Maybe some day I'll get one! (Saw one on Kijiji yesterday.)

@laurencegoedar462 6 лет назад

Great timing James! I received my compass plane, the "newer" one, this week from a purchase on ebay. Nice looking tool. Could you also show us how to make a convex curve? Is it just the other way around?

@WoodByWright 6 лет назад

yup it is the same thing just start at the top of the curve and run down the hill that way you avoid tear out.

@laurencegoedar462 6 лет назад

Thanks James!

@tom120ali 4 года назад

James, is it worth buying one, or should I just use a spokeshave?

@WoodByWright 4 года назад

if you are going to be making curves once a month or more then it is worth it, if not just use a spoke shave. it is fun but it is an expense that is not NEEDED.

@rongiesbrecht3654 2 года назад

Hi James, I am definitely enjoying your videos - they are the best: to the point, no tangents, and very user focused (as opposed to techno-babble or collector jargon. Question on Compass planes ... I am also a winemaker and am interested in using these planes to take off both the inside toasting of a barrel stave and the outside stains and such - in order to create curved oak furniture pieces. So far the belt sander has been my (inadequate) means of doing this ... do you think that the compass plane may be my new best friend?

@WoodByWright 2 года назад

it might, but it is really intended for the last few passes of finishing. for the staining on the outside this might be just the trick depending on how deep it is. but the char on the inside is often a good bit more. I might use a spoke shave or draw knife there first then clean it up with this.

@GenePavlovsky 3 года назад

I have a Record 020 compass plane (from UK) and I like it's sole adjustment mechanism better than the Stanley's. If you're looking for a compass plane, consider this model if you can find it.

@DarthDweeb 6 лет назад

I missed everything after you said, all you have to do is crank your knob. I was just laughing too hard to catch the rest.

@WoodByWright 6 лет назад

LOL thanks!

@MrMNRichardWright 6 лет назад

What are the common uses for radius planes? Are they used at all by coopers?

@WoodByWright 6 лет назад

There are not many uses. Mostly just thinking stretchers and other details case peces. It was not used for coopering. It really is a one trick tool, but when you can use it it makes the final work so fast.

@walterrider9600 6 лет назад

thank you nice paddle

@WoodByWright 6 лет назад

LOL my kids are afraid to come int he shop now. I should drill holes in it.

@walterrider9600 6 лет назад

@freddieg5080 6 лет назад

Yo I planning to buy a old one compass plane Wondering if it is worth it?? Thanks

@WoodByWright 6 лет назад

If you do a lot of curves and arches then yes it is. But most furniture makers would only use it once every other year or so.

@RCWorks 6 лет назад

My plane iron is supposed to be able to cut my finger? No wonder I can't plane anything worth a hoot. 8-)

@WoodByWright 6 лет назад

LOL something like that.

@andreicharpentierquesada4530 3 года назад

What angle have a compass plane? 🤔🤔🤔

@WoodByWright 3 года назад

Sorry. I don't understand the question. If you're asking the angle of the iron. Usually I sharpen mine at 35°

@andreicharpentierquesada4530 3 года назад

@@WoodByWright jeje yes so incomplete my question sorry. I refer to the angle of the bed of the plane when the sole is set "relative flat"

@WoodByWright 3 года назад

The bevel on the iron is down so you can put it at just about any angle you want. The bed angle is 45°. Most people sharpen their iron at around 30 to 35 degrees.
