Dear Sir, This attention to details & meticulous preparation followed by expert like metal & wood work is wonderful & as for the finish just as spectacular. The lack of commentaries makes it all the more serene & almost spiritual in nature. In fact as they say "a picture is worth a thousand words"; your clip certainly does excel at conveying what is meant. Very well done once again. Kind regards.
THANK YOU for documenting this laborious process! I greatly admire your designs, clever efficient methods and craftsmanship. This is edifying, mesmerizing and inspiring!
THAT is Amazing I saw a guy below had commented that it was overdone because it was just a tool......... no, it's a work of art that also doubles as a very functional too. I didn't understand making the box for it unless you were gonna send it to me lol. I'd want that to be in the open to see every day
I agree, this tool is a pleasure to look at, must be a pleasure to handle and works well, what the hell is wrong with that? That fella just got out of bed the wrong side. Regards
You make some amazing hand tools. The sanding and filing must take a lot of time. I'm sure these tools will be here for many generations. The little storage box was an added bonus. You make videos with great ideas, that are well presented. Thanks Mark
I always wondered why people don't do something like this more often with old wooden planes that the mouth has opened up too far. Add a brass base plate and it's back to New.
Nice touch to make a storage case! Excellent! One recomendation, can you provide the angles of body, blade and sole? Maybe one day I will get ambitious and will make one. Hahaha
Beautiful work, as always! As others have said, I would love to see all of your planes together when you get to the point that you feel like you have the full set that you want. Why did you decide to make another shoulder plane? Was the previous one not working well enough? Or did you just want to do another design? I only ask because you might have learned something from the first one that could benefit others like me who want to make our own. Thanks!
I am addicted to making planes. I always feel like I'm scarce. It is a very hard addict and repeats those things. My first angle is 50 degrees. This time I built a 37 degree plane and I wanted to make my own blade.
Sy bilang berkali. Kali cuma melihat semua itu bermaafaat bh sy .youtub oke mantul SBG gambaran.maaf un. Karoke off bikin sengsara aja sy sudah alami kesukaan sy un beryanyi.sengsara jangan di bawa lagi amin
how come you didn't countersink the holes for the screws, unless you don't have a counter sink. Excellent craftsmenship either way as you did sand away any trace of screws
I wondered the same thing but with all the grinding and sanding it didn't really matter, the screws just disappeared. Maybe with a countersink he would have had to sand deeper.
Rich Wachtel Peening, as he did, is traditionally combined with countersinking, creating a better mechanical bond. But usually that's with pins that go all the way through to another metal plate on the other side.
Even if it is for a customer's request, it is unnecessarily complicated. it became a fetish, those infills, brass, steel soles. it is a tool. Using hardwood is a necessity, bird's eye mapple, exotic wood this is ridiculously funny.
He's making the tools he wants the way he wants to make them. What's the problem?? A little insight you might not have considered: some people enjoy making tools, to the extent that making the tools is sometimes the actual goal, not using them. I don't think that's the case here, as he always seems to use the tools he makes, but it does illustrate that slapping together a tool that just works would not be sufficient for many people. It's called craftsmanship. Some people value it, and others buy flat pack furniture. If it's not for you, that's fine. But ridiculing someone for doing a better job than you would have done only makes you look silly.
