Making a Mini Low Angle Block Plane with Dovetails 

Surprised you haven't made a new pair of digital calipers out of scrap wood. (Complete with scrap wood battery, and scrap wood LCD screen.)

Recently I'm watching many videos about making your own tools, especially planes. I'm on the beginning of my woodworking journey and thanks a lot for your work since I'm learning so much from your videos :)

I love watching you make these things, your just so honest and you're always open to your mistakes and things you could to better. Loving your great content too!!

That is some very fine craftsmanship. It's nice to see good hand work still done these days. I'm a machinist, and periodically need to make a tool, and really enjoy the time working with hand tools, fitting, making something forever. I too, love mixing iron with brass or bronze, the older they get, the better they fit and feel together. I really enjoyed watching, wish I could saw and file that fast, lol.

Beautiful little plane! I bought a small plane about that size back in the eighties. It was made from cast iron but had a very soft blade. It was in the one dollar tool bin so I didn’t expect much. After I made a new iron from an old chisel that became my favorite plane to keep in my pouch.

You have some incredible skills mate. I had to rewind the video multiple times just to understand the part of the plane that was being worked upon. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.

I learned a LOT from this video and as always it was amazing. Absolutely stunning plane. Thanks! :)

This is incredible. Not only are you an incredible woodworker, but also an amazing metal worker. If I had half of your skills I would be more than happy. Keep it up!

Well now I need to make one! I’m always inspired but your thriftiness to make incredible, beautiful, and functional things without having all the right tools. Well done!

Love your work Neil!

It is such a pleasure to watch you create such a beautiful tool. I can see it used for many generations.

That’s amazing! I have a new found appreciation for the complexity of designing and building a “simple” planer.

This is the highest possible level of craftsmanship you can get. Amazing.

Watching your videos reminds me to slow down and enjoy the whole process. Sometimes I get fixated on getting it done and rush through some aspects of the build. It’s not so much sloppy fabrication as it’s that I have so many things I want to build that I forget to enjoy the one I’m currently doing. Someday I will learn. Thanks for the inspiration.

Mate that is bloody stunning! Seriously nice job!

your connenctions are incredible accurate respect for these handwork

I'm amazed by your skills and how you work around your lack of specialized tools.

That lathe work on a drill press was pretty mind blowing for me. Didn’t thing about doing that but now I have a new tool to use!!

I always admire your ingenuity to solve problems or peculiarities in your projects ... that's really great to watch

Without fail, I always watch your videos from start to finish. This is a beautiful tool.

"I actually enjoy filing". True story, I have been watching Pask's videos for about four years and I can say, there has been a LOT of filing. I have even made a few of the things he has shown us... turns out, I don't enjoy filing quite as much. ;-) Thanks for all the great content!

I think you can use the corners for spacers or make washers. Just a thought. Great project, I think it looks really nice the way it is. Keep up the good work and God bless you and your family 👪

You are an amazing ambassador for woodworkers across the globe. From building a chicken coop one week to then making this gorgeous plane. I am learning as a woodworker, making things you need instead of buying them is so much more satisfying and they are usually better anyway. Well done as always 🙂

Brilliant job. You never cease to amaze. You have a great knack my friend. You also have a very pleasant manner and disposition that makes your videos extremely enjoyable. Regards from Canada, eh.

Double sided tape gun! Genius!

That was an amazing build 😯 such a great idea and so well done. Hard work sure does pay off with a little persistence. Congratulations on your successful build. 🥇

I love the whole project, but I think my favorite part is that little piece of rosewood. I have so many tiny scraps of exotic woods, and it gives me hope that someday I might actually use one or two of them.

Watching your videos is just a hair short of meditation! Thanks

Move over Carter and Holtey! Seriously, hats off and well done! Oh, there was one thing I couldn’t quite make out for certain, which was the steel you used for the iron. Sounded like you may have said it was 1075, but my ears aren’t what they once were. Cheers, Lee

Neil, you've outdone yourself mate! This gotta be the cutest plane-make on YT ever! I so get it that you enjoyed this one! Looks amazing and provides good shaves. Nice to always have with you in the woodworking apron!

Good to see you sharing a skill that would otherwise disappear

Wow crazy level of craftsmanship especially just using hand tools. Well filmed too. I see a metal lathe in your future. : ) Mahalo for sharing! : )

loved it! where you find that patience, great video and amazing plane, i like that you didn't went overboard with polishing it, it shows that handmade with pride

Has Lie-Neilsen called you yet? They can use all the help they can get! I know it would be quite a commute, but you'll get used to it! Seriously, you inspire me with your easygoing personality and resourcefulness. I'm certain this project took weeks if not months, and you captured the highlights wonderfully. I've been subscribed for quite a while and love your videos. I saw the video where you built the base for the fly press, and I've always coveted your belt sander. Your stamp on the lever cap says it all. As you would say, "I reckon that's a beautiful plane," and it looks handmade--just as it should. Great job, mate!!

Verdadero artesano, me quito el sombrero para saludarlo.... Mis respetos y mi admiración, Señor....

A true gem. And functional. A hug

Now then Neil you clever sod! Blimey I haven’t watched one of your videos for a ages (been away) and, "by ‘eck lad" I forgot just how amazing and ambitious your projects are, yet you always achieve a remarkable quality finish and yet seem so humble about it! Bloody love your channel - I’m so glad to have come back; now I’ve got a whole load of videos I missed too and can binge watch to catch up on. Keep up the excellent work 👍

This is one of my favorite RU-vid video ever! Thanks!

Very, very, very impressive. What a gift you have.

Amazing work and excellent video Mate !! You truly are a Master Craftsman.

Beautifully crafted, well done!

So awesome! I have been following your progress on instagram. Was definitely getting excited for the upload.

Seriously man, incredible work! You are by far my favorite maker on RU-vid and an inspiration to all!

to call this incredible work, would be an understatement. Always impressed and inspired by your work

You mate, are a true craftsman. Well done

That is more than amazing, you've outdone yourself!

Hope you get that metal lathe -- I would love to see what you could make with that!!

Looks awesome! Thanks for the vids from Texas.

Great video and mini-plane build, it's beautiful!

As always Neil .... AWESOME job !!!!!

Really like those wooden jaws, I've got to steal that idea :)

amazing !! and I can't wait to see you working on a lathe and, why not, on a milling machine......

I think you've outdone yourself, Neil.

Absolutely Wonderful craftsmanship!

Bloody marvellous mate, I watch and envy your talent. You are a clever man 👍

This is insane!!!!! Amazing work man. i was expecting some bug metal working machines in this video but you brought it home by hand O_O

Admiro tu trabajo, el que espero siempre con ansiedad, pero también tu humildad al mostrar algunos errores, lógicos, que siempre se nos presentan a todos en cualquier trabajo, no todos tienen esa humildad para mostrarlos. Desde Buenos Aires, mis más sinceras felicitaciones, MAESTRO!

Great looking plane, you're a Master.

Thanks for sharing the perfect piece.

Wonderful! Congratulations! Master piece! Im from Brazil.

Awesome craftsmanship as usual!

Lovely, looks like that’s going to be a pleasure to use 👍

Good grief that is stunning!! Incredible video and work. Thank you for sharing.

Very nice, thoroughly enjoyed it. Well done.

This is incredible, Neil. Wow!

I'm always in complete awe at your skills and patience! This is another incredible pask makes video! thank you ;)

I made a pull plane based on a Japanese planer as I don’t have the upper arm strength for a push planer but I made mine out of hardwood with a stainless steel base plate a few years back 😊😊 but that was because I could not afford to buy one but needed one for a job I have been doing 😹😹 since then where I can I have started to make many of my own tools where I can not because it’s cheaper but because of the sense of satisfaction I now get when making something using tools that I have made 😻 when you said you loved filling I could not stop laughing as I have spent many hours on all my projects doing hand sanding 😹😹 once I have done the first part with the sander I then doo the rest all by hand and yep I have made all my sanding blocks in different sizes and for each type of grit but some as I always start with 40 grind I find that’s best using the electric sander as it’s quick and easy and then I work my way using the hand blocks 😹😹I don’t know why but I just love hand sanding and have spent hours on that part of the project it’s a running joke at my place the job of putting it together is fast but it’s a lifetime to do the finishing touches 😹😹😹

That came out beautifully. I'd expect no less from your work, but this one was especially nice to see.

Neil you bloody legend! That is pure craftmanship right there... stunning piece! Will there be plans available like the equally stunning Jack plane?

Beautiful work! Very well done.

Beautiful. I think that vise could use some love though.

Phenomenal job Neil, it turned out great! 😍👌🏻👍🏻👊🏻

Beautiful! It looks amazing.

Craftsmanship is excellent!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Looking at tose shavings makes me think I would enjoy seeing you tackle hakone marquetry.

Nice work Neil.. Also, don't you hate when the little pin in those spring clamps breaks, and the little orange foot disappears off somewhere in the shed..? ;) Happens to me all the time.. lol

This turned out so well...amazing as usual!!! Would be an awesome if you made your own heat treating oven.

Man, you are amazing. Regards from Germany.

Was my favorite so far too 👍

Have you considered taking that vise apart, getting rid of the rust and dirt, stripping the paint and repainting it?

Neat little tool. How many hours did that take? Impressed with your metalworking skills, even down to filing on forward stroke only. Put some lacquer on it to keep the polished brass & steel look

Pask...by chance do you have a video on the construction of your knurling jig? Or perhaps plans?

Absolutely beautiful

This is amazing work. Would love to see an all hardwood version of the small low angle plane if you’re ever considering it.

I don’t know why but I was looking forward to you knurling the screw all video.

Huge like for that perfect screw XD

Amazing work as always, thanks for the inspiration

Beautiful work.

You could make an EDC spinning top

What can I say? You inspire!

Gorgeous work!!

Low block planes are my favourite

Amazing work! Love your channel.

Beautiful job. But I’m pretty sure you said you don’t have a lathe and then I’m pretty sure I saw you use one to make the knurled brass thumbscrew ;)

Beautiful work as always. How is you make the difficult projects look so bloody easy! I have to know, does everyone have a rusted up hacksaw? I mean, has anyone seen a 'new' hacksaw?

That's. Just. Awesome.

Great video, great project and lot of ways how to accomplish something (holding something, putting something together, ...). I would like to gibe extra likes or quality likes but I just can give one thumbs up and a respectful commentary.

Trop beau trop fort je suis admiratif, je fait beaucoup de choses par moi même mais la je suis bluffer, combien de temps tu as mis. bravo et merci.

Nice Job! very skilled.
