Always great to watch you work enjoyed your videos from your beginning thanks

I was just thinking about you yesterday. I even checked blip tv, to see if that was back.

Good to see you again old friend!

Just couple days ago find Bob's videos they are really great! I'm just starting out with woodworking and handtools and his videos are really helpful for me. Bob what happened to your site? Hopefully everything is ok and you would be able to get it up and running soon. I've been thinking about buying a course.

Thank you Bob for your informative videos. I’m new to hand woodworking and early on my journey, I like the references you make to historical resources in your teaching process.

😂not so clear, i ask how many teeth in 1 inch

How many teeth in one inch

I like how stuby nubs does it. Way less confusing

Is Bob back?

Good on you Bob, you are building yourself a Shaker workbench. I'm guessing you will have a tail vice to hold you stock in place since you won't be able to use holdfasts anymore.

Hoping to see a follow up on this bench!!

The Shaker museum bench! Satisfying to build. Practical to use. Beautiful to look at. A source of motivation, inspiration, and pride. Have a truncated version in my basement that likes to make me feel guilty whenever it’s not being exercised enough.

Title should have read "Rough Cut". On a table saw it takes one cut and no cleaning up after the fact. Every one of these ways used a plane to finish the taper.

When you are hand planing a table top to even out raised areas where boards were joined, where the table is obviously wider than the hand planer, how do you not get a groove equal to the diameter of the planer? Then you are just chasing lipstick/ledges.

Worst video ever

I don't understand why planes flatten evenly especially since they're so narrow compared to the work surface (like workbench top)

This is a great video Bob. There are very few resources on this subject for new hand tool wood workers. There were 100 videos on router bits. I only wish this was higher definition video. Thank you.

best fox wedge tutorial on youtube.

well there you go, that answers that question after 4 years, lol

Why did you not use Titebond III which is waterproof?

Very helpful video. Thank you!

Thanks for a great clear and instructive video

Really enjoyed this and learned so much. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us.

this is helpful

You are wrong I'm removing the blade. It needs to be retracted. That sole will flex without it.

This does not give precise accuracy --not one is 90 degrees !

Made a dozen of these --None are precisely 90 degrees -----wood is inaccurate medium ---

I do occasionally use hard point saws for lumber where there is a greater risk of finding nails, screws, staples and the like, mainly initial sizing of reclaimed wood. I also use them for resin impregnated manufactured boards, in particular 'chip board flooring panels, which can be very hard on teeth. They can be 'touched up' with diamond needle files, but are so cheap it is hardly worth the effort For everything else I use good quality well sharpened vintage saws most of which have cost me a couple of pounds or less, plus my time to get them back in good shape. There is an abundant supply where I live .... about 20 miles from Sheffield ;<) I am also able to get new 1095 spring steel plates far about £8 to10 to give new life to fine old back saws with badly pitted blades.

Ted Mcgrath does not exist

That was a good explanation. Thank you.

I'm a bit late to the party, but catching up with your great videos. Really enjoying, and learning so much from you. Thanks.

Great idea, important lesson! Very appreciated.

My Boss make me wipe the glue the second clamps are on. I hate doing it but have no chose. All this does is drives the glue with a wet rag all around and forces it in the grain. This causes stain issues ever time. For my self i let it sit 20-30 like you did and then scrape off.

Thank you! I could not figure out how to get the depth stop off.

It’s been a long time you haven’t made a video. I hope all is well.

That is the major error in all these videos --NOT. SHOWING THE GAP SIZE. (close up ) between the bevel steel blade and the wooden body escapement that allows the shavings to pass through---NOT ONE spokeshave video shows that adjustable gap (using set screws ) ! to increase or decrease the gap !

NOW I see how you use the set screws --to adjust the gap between the bevel blade and the wood body --to allow shavings to pass by into that gap into the ESCAPEMENT cutaway ---no wonder mine would not cut a shaving ---too small a gap !(5 attempts )

Браво! Хубава бичкия стана.

Good info. Your descriptions of what you were doing were also good. I just wish for 2 things to have been better: 1. Better sound balance. The sound of the planes scraping/cutting the wood was louder than your voice. 2. Better imagery. The camera didn’t do a good job of showing the cuts you were making in the wood. Maybe some semi-close-ups of the tools working on the wood would have solved this?

Great stuff, you are very clear and great at teaching this kinda stuff, the tip if referencing the camber directly from the plane with the scribe was great.

Simply cannot see how mounting your DIY blade on top of the piece of wood --can even cut at all ? appears impossible !---how does your simple fixed blade cut like a spokeshave ??? baffled !

For sizing accurately sash window rails and styles, is it best to use a rail guide jig to run base of the plane on it to limit depth of cut so stock with identical sizes can be repeated ? Thank you for great advice in your video..

it's actually very difficult to justify the use and maintenance (the more cumbersome part) of a scrub plane with the advent of modern power tools. There are situations where it can be helpful or even desirable, but these are specialty situations. Nice video with good points. Although I am not sure if I would be that aggressive with my jack for fore planing. Even that camber is quite aggressive and can be very high wear and tare on the throat unless you camber that out as well.

Another burning question please. Would the below thickness jig be be useful to make sash window rails eg 30mm x60mm to achieve accurate dimensions repeatedly. I have 4 sash windows to build, so please advise on a plane jig design to help. Thank you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJjZZ39ve5xrZsk

Would a Stanley 386 guide fence (fence at 90 degree in contact with your flat widest face) fitted to a stanley no 6 jointer make it easier to square the edge side ?

Interesting... I never knew this was the proper way to straighten a hand saw blade. It always pays to learn something new each day. Thank you for posting this video. 👍

Great video and craftsmanship. My wife wants me to make a cremation double urn box for us with this type lock so it can be easily opened to add ashes when the second of us passes. I've never done a mortice lock before so this video was perfect as a tutorial.

I read that you just need cold water, it does not need to be heated, is that true?

How is a "jack plane" distinguished from a "bench plane"?

Can’t wait to give this a go on my recent Starrett eBay purchase!
