I read in a book on Japanese Woodworking that they sometimes wipe a damp cloth over the surface of the wood to prevent teat out. The moisture softens the fibers and helps prevent the tearing

You make remouthing a plane look easier than it probably is. That's what experience does. At the moment, the only wooden plane I have is a new Ulmia block plane. I'll have to keep my eye out for a vintage wooden plane that might need remouthing. Thanks for the education. One never knows too much.

This whole subject is fascinating.. begs the question just how adjustable should a frog be on a modern plane , and makes sense of why you should have a selection of planes - set up for different thickness cuts- wide mouth for roughing and very narrow for finishing..? “
@gjbmunc Жыл бұрын
Different planes makes sense, but the basic rule is the mouth should be no wider than the thickness of the shaving you want, and the thinner the less likely is tearout.
@jsmxwll Жыл бұрын
Just a lesson I learned: I remouthed a plane but used a flatsawn piece of beech to remouth a quartersawn hickory plane. The beech expanded and blew out the cheek on one side. So pay attention to the orientation and maybe the species combination, but I think the orientation is the big one. Wood moves much more radially than it does tangentially.

I would like to see you demonstrate the processes that you describe rather than just talk about them. I think your viewers would be very interested in watching the processes of doing the work as well as hearing about it. In watching, they will learn much from seeing your skills and techniques and become more proficient in their own handwork. Keep these videos coming.

New subscriber, based on a suggestion in one of Rex Krueger's videos. Very interesting that this, the first of your videos I have seen, is about wood-bodied planes. I have several that need some work, I feel a need to be careful with them. I got them from my father, who got them from my grandfather, who was a reasonably well-known woodworker in the area of England he lived in.

Hi Graham. It is wonderful to meet you here. Some years ago, when you filled in at a wood show for the late David Charlesworth, I recall others mentioning that you discussed setting a close set chipbreaker to control tear out. In my experience, working with interlocked Australian timbers, a closed up mouth does relatively little to reduce or prevent tear out. Even planing with the grain is not enough since there is reversing grain with which to contend. Closing up a chipbreaker (to around 0.4mm behind the blade's edge) works wonders in this regard. Now this video is all about the size of the mouth, and no mention is made of the chipbreaker. Furthermore, a closed up chipbreaker will be affected negatively by a small mouth (preventing shavings escaping past the leading edge of the chipbreaker). The size of the mouth is also irrelevant when the cutting angle reaches half-pitch (60 degrees). Could you comment here or, better still, respond with a video. Regards from Perth, Australia. Derek
@gjbmunc2 жыл бұрын
You are of course largely right (except that I do in fact mention the chipbreaker at 9.26) and yes, of course, the secret is to adjust the chipbreaker in concert with the size of the mouth. At this point I am endeavouring just to cover some basic principles (my producer is constantly on my case to reduce the amount of information in each episode,) but at some point I will indeed discuss in more detail the niceties you mention, but for the moment I have to build a following. For most people the concept of chipbreaker and small mouth is already a huge discovery. But I promise you I'll get to it. Thanks for watching and especially for your comments.
