I only started getting hand planes because I saw one branded Winchester in an antique shop. Like the rifles. "Neat, what a cool old tool. I'll buy it." Did a little research, and discovered it was something Winchester did (actually made by Sargent) to make ends meet in the interwar years. It was a 3010 smooth bottom plane, a little bigger than a Stanley #5. Then I saw the next size down, a 3005 being sold for practically nothing... and it was in good shape. What the heck, I'll buy it. Now I feel like I need a complete set. Even though I don't use hand planes. I've got a nice 6" jointer and a 15" thickness planer with a shelix head on it. What the heck do I need hand planes for? I dunno but I'm starting to feel like a plane addict.

@chacehawkins4708 Год назад

getting into hand tool woodworking and spent HOURS sifting the internet and youtube for information on where to start, and what each tool is for. This is by far the best, most concise, most efficient, least confusing, summerization of planes EVER. I only wish the youtube algorythm god had suggested it to me sooner.

@josephullman1526 2 года назад

Beginning wood worker. Went to a high end woodworking store to get plane advice. They had non idea how to guide me. This was indispensable.

@cerberus2881 3 года назад

I just used my new LN No.62 LA Jack today for the first time. It's the first quality plane I've bought for myself. Lie-Nielsen knows how to make outstanding tools, no regrets.

@AlistairLearmonth Год назад

On starting my Apprenticeship I purchased a Stanley 41/2 on advise off my journeyman, its my go to today and shows in its wear and tear and looks the better for it. I then added later in my apprenticeship a Stanley 51/2 again handling my journeyman plane and after serving my time I added a Stanley 6. In use I made do with this three in my daily use and made my money over the years with this three. I added a hand me down Stanley 4, not a purchase I would have made. I also have added a Block plane Stanley, Stanley Router plane open throat, Stanley Edge plane a gift from a retiring tradesman I worked with. Do you need to go more expensive makes, nice to have but in same sizes as I have I would not see any greater benefit and price is important even for a tradesman. I always gave more thought to how they fitted my hand and did they do the job I required and longevity.

@henrybaldwin2237 2 года назад

To you need a scrub plane? It depends on whether: (1) you have a power joiner or not, and (2) do you start with lumber that is not s4s? I don't have a joiner. I do have a wonderful (real) lumber yard near by and can get rough lumber at half the cost of the "big box." With a scrub plane, a straight edge, and a smoother plane I can get 4' rough lumber ready for the thickness planer in minutes. As Matt said, a nice light scrub plane works like magic!

@devemch7851 2 года назад

First plane I ever bought was a LN #1. While many think it’s a toy, I find it useful as a detail model plane for work on foundry patterns. While you could go to a violin plane or finger plane I have found the #1 my go to model plane. For general purpose use, I usually go for the jack. I had a Fulton #5 and recently a LN 5.5. While the 5.5 is a handful, it’s a nice combination of features going from smoothing to jointing.

@MrBrewzr 3 года назад

Thank you for not giving the typical youtuber answer of “well it depends” I’m a beginner and I don’t always know what kind of work I’m gonna be doing. I’m trying to figure out what I like to build, and getting a straight forward answer of here these are the two to start with was just what I was looking for.

@mikel5582 11 месяцев назад

When I built my workbench 20+ years ago, having a scrub plane (I bought a new ECE brand) and a big jointer (old Stanley #8) made flattening the top and front apron a lot easier. I wish I'd have had a router plane to neatly hog out an inset for the Record vise that I added at one end.

@derekmorris5602 5 лет назад

The best part of owning the Lie Nielsen 4.5, 5.5, 6 and 7 is that they all share the same iron which means you can buy a single high angle frog and swap it between all of your planes. Results in an extremely versatile setup that allows you to plane even the most tear-out prone woods.

@nakamakai5553 6 лет назад

Thank you for the thorough explanation! This really helps for those of us starting out with (1) plane, and looking for what to do next. Well done.

@hazembata 6 лет назад

@hanzon1529 6 лет назад

@robohippy 2 года назад

I did residential construction for years, mostly concrete work. Did one house where they wanted a hand hewn look on some beams. The carpenter used a scrub plane. It worked very nicely for that.

@Zigge 5 лет назад

As a carpenter I would choose a #4, #5 and a block plane first. Then a router plane and a slim shoulder plane or an outright combination plane.

@Zigge 2 года назад

@WungusBill a block plane can save you about 50% of the sandpaper you would otherwise use and smooth things out in one go a lot faster. It's not just for taking edges off but can do so much more. It's one of those tools you might not know what to do with when you don't have it, but once you got it; it does become an essential tool in your box.

@williamdedecker3464 5 лет назад

A huge thank you man !!! I've been looking around to buy my first planes for months now and I never managed to find a decent explanation on the differences and use of all the those different planes... You're video is just the best explanation I've ever seen :o

@good_youtube_handle 5 лет назад

Extremely helpful and demystifying. I've used mostly power tools most of my life, but apartment life has meant picking up more tools like this to create the work I want in the space I have. Needless to say, trying to figure out which plane(s) to buy has been a real struggle. This helped immensely.

@ajcressey3290 2 года назад

I quite admire your collection of tools watching your videos it’s quite amazing the amount of things you have accumulated over the years

@WesleyBrace 3 года назад

Fantastic video. Right on time for me. I'm in search of the right hand planes for my growing shop. Thank you.

@nomoremuda 6 лет назад

Well done! Your videos are getting more enjoyable to watch, don't stop being you and your approach. I watch your videos not only to learn things, but hear your perspective and approach. If you become too sterile or plain, I probably will stop watching. It is very clear that your presenting yourself in a sincere fashion, this is who you are, and you are not trying to be something your not... keep it up! Big fan.

@WeGoWalk 4 года назад

Excellent explanation! Thank you!

@kenthansen3557 8 месяцев назад

I prefer the 4 ½ to the 4...the extra width makes for fewer passes, particularly while smoothing larger panels. The extra "beef," as you've stated, helps keep the plane to task.

@meealan 2 года назад

Great video, you really broke it down well and I appreciate that. Quality tools are the way to go but many those are expensive.

@jamesbarros950 5 лет назад

Thank you so much for this video. I'm just getting started in proper woodworking (basic dovetail boxes for some gifts) and I needed to get a plane to clean up the proud parts, so it looks like a #4 or #5 bench plane will do me, which people have said, but now I know why, and now I know that I should get a low angle one rather than the standard angle. Thank you :)

@AndreaArzensek 6 лет назад

I exactly started with a block plane and later bought a low angle jack from veritas. I love that wide beastly plane :)

@peterclahsen1179 6 лет назад

@simongee8928 6 лет назад

Haven't done woodworking for years but Matt's way of presenting and selecting works well, straight facts and views from experience. Odd about what I knew as a spokeshave, but then really a specialist tool for curved pieces of work.

@rpols22 4 года назад

Finally an instructional video on hand planes that is actually understandable for beginners! I've watched half a dozen "so-called" instructional videos on hand planers and all of them were more "lets show-off my 80 planer collection and throw in my super technical woodworking lingo that only woodworking pros would/could understand." Thank you for keeping it dumb-simple. Keep it up!!!

@josevelez7539 4 года назад

Great that you narrowed them to only two! I own the Veritas starter planes; low angle jack, low angle block and small smoother and can tell you they work great! Would love to have a bit more weight on the smoother though.

@Andy_XT 2 года назад

Matt, I should post this on each of your videos, but it would be weird, wouldn't it! Yours are the best videos in this field! Great contents, great editing, always intetesting, never boring. Brilliant! Many many thanks, mate!

@thecityofficial6367 4 года назад

Thank you so much, man. Seriously, low angle jack plane, block plane. I’m good

@kevinalmeyda 6 лет назад

I think your recommendations are spot on. The one plane that just gathers dust in my kit is the scrub plane. As soon as I got a power planer I knew I'd never use it again.

@SirBenJamin_ 6 лет назад

You're doing a great job dude, love your editing style. Gordan would be proud.

@TheAkelly312 5 лет назад

Wonderful video, really shows how terrifying it is when you are starting out your shop and everyone has twelve thousand planes of names you've never heard. Now I know what two to get first.

@ethandonohoe 3 года назад

Bro! This had all the info I needed! I’m a jeweler building a jewelry bench. Like jewelry it sounds like quality tools is always the way to go. I needed to know what I needed and why, with out it being overly confusing. Thank you!

@joejoelesh1197 4 года назад

@LJacyHenry 5 лет назад

I agree with your selection. I have a #4 and a homemade block plane and a old cheap plane I converted into a scrub plane. I really wished I had a 7 or 8 for jointing though.

@phonebush 4 года назад

Great information. And I was wondering if you have tried the lie-Nielsen rabbet block plane. I’ve heard good things about it and it could possible simplify the arsenal down to just three planes with the #62, the rabbet block, and the router plane.

@lmcsquaredgreendale3223 4 года назад

I have watched a good number of your videos and really enjoy your approach. My Father was teaching me fine woodworking as I was his "go for" on remodeling jobs and was basically a rough carpenter with some strong suits say for example reattaching plaster when the keys broke away from the lathe and repairing holes of all shapes and sizes. After he passed away I dropped the idea because I had no mentor. I have chosen you as my mentor because you are direct and unlike many other presenters you realize that not all of us are going to recognize the tool you are using and your explanations are clear and concise when you pull out a hand tool that we may never have seen let alone used. You also have a casual way of presenting your subject matter and I it feels like I'm one of your mates and you are just explaining how something works. I really appreciate the fact that you treat we inexperienced people with respect and don't talk down to us. Please don't change your approach, your doing a great job and have been of great help to me as I tackle my first and a rather large and somewhat overwhelming project that needs to be done.

@chrisk3195 6 лет назад

@stringsalive20 3 года назад

Another benefit to a scraper plane: I’m a luthier primarily. If you need to thickness figured stock, the scraper blade is fantastic. I also use a no. 62 with an iron regroups to make it a high angle plane for this job.

@damienbrand9422 6 лет назад

Thank you so much!! Have been trying to get a straight answer for weeks - and just just provided it!!

@MattEstlea 6 лет назад

Quality! Glad it was helpful!

@Redraven2967 2 года назад

I agreed with your assessment on the bench planes with the exception of the #7, I didn’t hear you mention the #6 which is actually my choice as the step between the 5 1/2 an 8. Lots of information in short time. bravo.

@OldePhart 5 лет назад

Great vid. Thanks!

@WingnutEOD 6 лет назад

In the EOD Community, a shit-ton is a technical unit of measure. I really enjoyed hearing it when you were talking about the scrub plane.

@webbg6 День назад

Another excellent video packed with lots of useful info. followed the links to buy the two you recommended and they went to planes that you hadn't recommended. The Low Angle Jack plane went to a normal angled Jack Plane for instance. Do you have another link to the Rider Jack please?

@benpietak3364 6 лет назад

Matt, what about a number 6? I've got a block plane, #4 smoother, and just got two #6's, one of which I think I'll convert into a scrub plane, the other will be my smaller jointer plane

@frankmorris2870 6 лет назад

Hi Matt, when you had been in machine shop there was some sawhorses to put marterials on any way you could give more information regarding sawhorses seem simple but very effective

@dusannikolic8635 5 лет назад

Hi Matt, thanks for putting this into practical perspective. I highly appreciate you made the effort of filming this. I am quite novice and developed woodworking passion as a hobby so I really want to be on the right (correct ) foot so I may enjoy it rather than curse it. One additional practical advice if we are choosing from a narrow range of bench planes to own: between Low-Angle Jack Plane (i.e Veritas Low-Angle Jack Plane No. 62) and Low-Angle Jack Rabbet Plane (like Lie-Nielsen Low-Angle Jack Rabbet Plane No. 610) which one would you recommend? Price aside… Thanks in advance!

@welshnutterz 6 лет назад

rabbeting block plane is another lovely plane, great for cleaning up tenons etc.

@ciri151 5 лет назад

a 787 for long distance, a 737 for medium distance and a Cessna 172 for short distance. An a380 is also nice if you want to show off.

@matthewstafford4040 5 лет назад

You can also just use an F/A-18 for everything...with optional KC-10 aerial refueling for long distance travel requirements. I'm interested in the FA-18 of woodworking planes, let me know when you figure out which one that is :D

@doct0rnic 3 года назад

i should have gotten the low angle jack, it is true, it is more versatile, it can smooth and can also be fitted to be a scrub plane.

@ionut5316 5 лет назад

Router plane and rebate plane before shoulder plane. I like to mark tenons with the router, set depth stop, split waste with a chisel and then clean them with the router in shallow passes.

@willwright3358 6 лет назад

I have the 4.5 Lie-Nielsen Smoother, and to accompany it I will buy the #7 Jointer plane. The reason is that they share the same blade. That way it is fewer blades to purchase or sharpen.

@tabhorian 6 лет назад

Excellent video.

@BrendansReasons 4 года назад

Excellent, thanks

@tonyennis3008 4 года назад

I can't survive without my router plane. Superb. I have not yet been convinced by my shoulder plane, which is a little smaller than yours but not tiny.

@johndcoffee632 2 года назад

Cheers Matt. Off to buy my first plane so.

Re. the scraper holder: Being an ex-boat carpenter I put a single sided edge on my scrapers and, if I remember correctly, that works well with the holder. They are a pain to set up though and I haven't used one in a while so that might require an edit. Cut the scraper edge at 45 degrees, then form the hook with the burnishing tool. BTW, what you call a shoulder plane boat carpenters call a rabbet plane (and not a rebate plane), even the British boat carpenters I've worked with call them rabbet planes. No biggie. I made up a scrub from a #5, too. You can pick up used #5's cheap and I like the weight. I've never used a low angle jack plane, but it sounds like a good idea. Hmm, I've got parts... I wonder what I can rig up. I prefer the low angle block planes, too. I thought you might mention spokeshaves, but perhaps they're a little too different. Excellent job, I agree with everything you said!

@ocediis 6 лет назад

I'm getting ready to take an intensive set of courses on woodworking, and the two must-have planes on their list are the two you finished off with: the low angle jack plane and the block plane. I'm only a woodworking weekend warrior, so it's good to see agreement on initial tool selection from two different sources.

@jonah1978 6 лет назад

If you can afford it I recommend the Lie-Nielsen low angle rebating jack plane as it will do the sides of tenons and you can even cut them with it. That said though it is quite expensive but not as expensive as the veritas equivalent
