Thanks for the Demo!

Very interesting. It looked like you were using it as a shoulder plane there? I guess the advantage/disadvantage is the lack of fore-foot to get into tight spaces, plus you can convert it into a chisel plane?

The engineering on this is stellar. I see many gripes are addressed here. Thanks for the demo!

Cool demo. However, the Stanley plane you're showing isn't a good comparison with the Veritas. Look up the Stanley No. 90. That's a more accurate comparison

Good demo!

Holding the crosscut saw incorrectly in your introductory part?

For me, the one advantage of a block plane is that you can use it one-handed. In my workshop I never use it as I have a bench and a vice, but when I'm on site, with fewer work holding options, it comes into its own.

I would have liked to have watched this video, but the shaky-cam made me motion sick and I bailed at about 1:15.

The low angle block and miniature low angle block planes are definitely my planes of choice for small finicky bits of wood. Also if you do have exotic wood / reversing gain there is nothig stopping you grinding the bevel to a large angle so raising the efective cutt angle to 45 or even 55deg if necessary.

You didn't even test it on End Grain what it's made for...you clearly have no idea what it's for...just put it in inventory...good grief...😩

I have one et I love it

Thanks a lot friend.👍👍👍👍👍

👍

Could a depth stop from, say the skew rabbet planes, fit in the unused screw holes on the opposite side of the fence?

Perfect demo! Thanks for posting!

Very interesting little palm plane. Thank you, William!

Thank you for this. Every other video shows how to setup expensive adjustable block planes. This is the only video that has shown that you need to finetune the cheaper planes by tapping, similar to a Japanese plane.

How much do you use that vs other styles of planes in that size range?

Ok, yeah, agreed with @blomrj. I need to incorporate chest cam immediately.

I like the chest cam. Really clear demonstration…

Thank you William! This disproves some of my preconceptions.

An excellent review. This tool is exactly what my spouse needs for his birthday. Thanks

Interesting progression. That auger is soooo useful in this rocky soil…

Not trying to be a jerk, but if the grain was running in an orientation where the wedge would split it, it wouldn’t be suitable orientation for a gamble period.

The best part of this, which is a not inconsiderable concern, is that the final product will fit your axe head and your hands. Anyone who has ever shopped for shovel or axe handles will realize very quickly that this is a very disposable society. The handles available are few and far between (at least locally) and NEVER fit…

nice seeing you in the wild, William!

Very cool! I like that those can sit right into the holes for bench dogs. I have seen other dowel plates that people operate horizontally, like held in a vise or similar, but this looks well supported and efficient. 👍

I feel like this was made at me, William. 😁

I like it …very useful!😊

That's really interesting about removing the end and using it through the bench or apron. I have some Irwin quick grips, small ones, but they don't seem to detach like yours do. However, they were not very expensive, so that may just be a more advanced feature in other models. 🤔

Fun!

Very cool! One of my old chairs just broke recently, and is now in the shop, waiting for me to figure out how to tackle that problem, so I will probably rewatch this again for some inspiration… 👍

I love my 1021 it’s a little work horse

Interesting process.

That is not a very good edge on the scraper. You should be able to get it to cut much better. You should be able to get long very thin shavings that curl up into a tube. For one thing you are not using the burnisher correctly. This is partially Lee Valley’s fault. You have to first set it to 0 degrees and burnish a few times with moderate pressure, this starts to spread the edge of the scraper, then set the angle you want and burnish a few times. ALWAYS using a drop of oil. The directions clearly say this, and it makes a huge difference. Go to Lee Valley and look at the care and use . Using the burnisher directly from the file will work, but the higher the polish the better the scraper will perform, just like with any sharpening.Lee Valley skips this step in their directions for the burnisher, but if you go to their care and use on their scraper page,it gives details and clearly says to stone after filing, but it has to be polished square. And both faces need to be polished at the edge. And probably not on a water stone. It is very easy to damage a water stone if you are not careful. I have owned my variable angle burnisher from long before they started making them out of plastic. Late 80’s early 90’s I think. All the variable angle burnisher does is hold the burnisher at a constant angle. You still have to properly prepare the scraper just like with any other burnisher.

Alot of these tractors sit outside year round, I don't understand why the ignition is straight instead of pointing down a Lil bit to help keep moisture out of the key hole.

Useful video!

Why the fuck are you wearing latex gloves? Are you afraid of wood dust?

Oh, that thing that everyone already does even with full sized lumber, just do that? Cool thx.

It’s only a lever cap if it has a lever on it. This one does not. So it’s called a cap iron.

What a fine mustache you got there sir

Trash owners

That's wild! And quite beautiful in its own way.

Do you make a different one for different shades of shellac?

Now I know what to call this!

Fire door on a non fire rated frame no point of the door

ah, suppose those hinges wont be hoing anywhere anhtime soon

still got 11 more to do

Ah, so THAT's what you do with the left hand! Thanks!

I absolutely love your intro page!!!
