Also depends on where you live. It seems all I can find in my area is SYP. It's awesome but sometimes inconvenient

Well I'm glad you laid the sarcasm down thick because I'm too retarded to catch most of it😅😂

Wedge angle is too big. Big brass door knob has to much inertia, this is the reason hitting the front does not release iron. Wooden planes often have soul made out of harder wood - not thisone. To make sides fancy and not to strengthen the soul is stupid. Stars and moon catch shavings, wardrobe, skin... very awkward to use. Handle is also not good for griping. You can't properly squeeze between index finger and thumb if diameter is too small.

Yellow pine hard construction wood, hello yeah

Good for something? These opportunities allow for us to turn our feelings, which are usually positive, into words of appreciation. That should warm your heart like your sharing of woody wisdom warms ours. Merry Christmas, Rex.

so we can see it clearly? the words are on the screen in front of everything. why do all youtube shorts need captions?

The project i made from poplar went from a beautiful green hue to brown

Merry Christmas, Rex!

"My chisel said i'm special"

That's like saying a pickaxe and an axe are the same thing

Ive got a large barn made out of yellow pine.

Wooden mallet can be repaired, once your stanley mallet is worn, it's worn

As someone super new to wood working i took this literally. Apparently hes joking. 😂 thought somehow really good ones would be 4x better somehow. Whats a good bang for buck sharpening choice?

And no mention of Douglas Fir anywhere. Must not be in the west.

i've run across a similarly constructed plane. i found it in the crawl space of a house with wall details that were fir 4x4s veneered on 3 sides with white oak against the wall. the plane was a softwood veneered on 3 sides with white oak i think, it was so dirty that i wasn't sure, but it looked reasonably similar to the wall details. it had soaked in water for a while though, barely holding together. i figured it was made from an offcut of one of those wall details. didn't think too much before i tossed it, shoulda kept it. i wasn't really interested in this sorta thing at the time.

0:28 You know what else is massive?

i used to work in a lumber yard 40 years ago, here in texas all we got was syp. one customer special ordered doug fir and it dry rotted before we sold the remainder of the truckload. that was back in the bad old days when we stocked wolmanized (cca) lumber and didn't know at the time we were getting poisoned by both chromium 6 and arsenic.

I use it I make gun stocks with it for my airsoft guns and prop weapons

exactly, you get the hammer moving before you hit the thing. then you let the Hammer hit the thing, whilst you are just there guiding the hammer. same with the chisel, just make sure the chisel is where it should be, there should be no rigid connection between your hand and the chisel in the moment you hammer on it.

Axes are double edged

6 years later i finally bought this and spent 30.38 usd which is less than the 25 usd adjusted for inflation!

Lol never underestimate the stupidity of morons. Lol. A hammer can't explode, it could fracture or shatter, but I doubt I'm physically strong enough to do that. Lmao.

Merry Christmas to me!

Living in the south makes this stuff pretty easy to find

I used to work for the DOT picking up large debris, so much construction timbers used for hauling objects...but you would come across some awesome pieces once found an 4 x 12 beam 6 foot length. But because of all the emissions the wood carbonizes and gets dense and hard...great for my shedz ....but it off gases far too much for anything else besides a lawnmower shed 😂

Thanks for talking about european tool too, im french so it help ! I was wondering what could i do with my wood plane.

I have always believed that Asian (Chinese, Japanese et al) were always PULLED rather than pushed across the wood. BTW I easily made one of those planing stops at my forge.

Maybe the veneered wood was reused from old furniture or he messed up and could no longer use the veneered piece.

It’s the simple things in life that bring the most “why am I smiling” energy.

"hit the jackpot with southern yellow pine" lol, lmao even.

Stop giving away the secrets! Remember when chicken wings only cost 49 cents a pound?! When someone made buffalo wings popular they are 4$! So stop talking about SYP!

SYP southern yellow pine keeps getting harder as it ages too. Old SYP is tough to saw with brand new blades.

Is that the same plane you chucked over your shoulder onto a concrete floor? You must read Eric Sloanes' " A reverence for tools".😆

I work in a mill where we deal (mostly) in hardwood making baseboards crown moulding, flooring etc., and we run a LOT of yellow pine specifically for flooring because thats the only thing we can sell it as. Theres basically no way to get select yellow pine, you might get 8 feet of clean lumber out of 1000 board feet

I always blow out the back side.

"Maybe those folks should learn how to sharpen better" Look there's a reason they work with wood and not metal.

I love my brace. In addition to what you mentioned, I have an attachment (from Lee Valley tools,) that let's me use standard driver bits. It is really cool to be able to "feel" that the wood is about to split, before it actually does.

The old fashioned one was an auger...breakout is way less if you use an auger. Here in Germany we even have augers for cordless

One point. Vintage auger bits are easy to find. Well, for me. The problem is that they are worn out. I bought a few thinking they sharpened or fixed. Ha.

Hey Rex, is Tooltrader an internationally oriented site? I'm from across the pond but have some interesting tools I can part with, hopefully there is an option to do so from Europe :)

Why has my wood blistered after putting painting primer on in ??

It is a pity that the hardwood wasn’t used on the sole.

the brace handle looks like a part of a tie rod or sway bar of a car

Dont't worry, about a thing. Cus every little thing, gonna be all wrong... 😂😂😂😂

i like old one just because my grandpa held it in his hands

Dr evils son taken wood working. I like his tips and videos though. Keeping helpful content.

This guy always drives his car at 8000 rpm… 😂🚮 . And seriously... does anyone actually use this type of drill for fine work? 🤔

Man you don't shave your skin off if you get a sharpie mark on it

I'll do you one better .. I'm not gonna get either of those things
