I hope you got good time, no matter with or without my videos. Cheers Stavros

Please next time have the audio of your voice and the video closer to the same volume please!!!! I had to turn it all the way up to hear you and when it went back to the video it busted out my eardrums since I was using earbuds THANKS!!!!

A piece of art by Stavros👍👍👍

[@devinteske]

I learned a lot just now from watching you carve slowly the wedge

[@ryandavis7593]

It’s a shame I can’t like your videos more than once. So I did the next best thing. I liked every comment instead. Thank you for sharing this little known art to the world. Happy holidays to you, your family, your friends and viewers. Greetings from the high plains of Texas.

[@StavrosGakos]

Thank you Ryan, happy holidays 🙂

[@tombaker3794]

I also liked every comment, can't seem to come with accolades not prior mentioned.

​@@tombaker3794thank you Tom👍

[@ryandavis7593]

@@tombaker3794 Perhaps this will be contagious? Having built some planes myself it is no small thing Stavros is doing and a very gracious host to the trade as well. I need to start making my spoke shaves again. A small beauty of rosewood for our friend is in order. Greetings from the high plains of Texas.

[@tombaker3794]

Having read all prior comments, I can't come up with anything new to say in expressing how fantastic your hand work is, and how beautiful the finished tool is, so I guess I'll just say I agree with everyone who commented prior, and based on the number of translations I performed - I'd say that is the whole world.

[@StavrosGakos]

Thanks a lot Tom :)

Thank you Jane

[@Schobul]

Hi Stavros, you know I like all your planes, but this one is really, really well done. Love the angles, wood choice combination and the final shape. This could be the daily workhorse in every shop. Looking forward to see what you come up with 🙂

[@StavrosGakos]

Hey Lubos :) thank you!

Pure joy to watch Stavros. Thank you. Regards Jim UK.

The long chip you got off of that last piece of wood looks like on of those reels they use in a barrel organ. The music it produces must be magical. Like your planes 😀

Your patience and commitment is inspiring. You just keep on going until it's perfect. I need to start carving on my bowl again. I've got about 100 hours in it and it's 75% done, but I haven't picked it up in 10 years.

Great to see another plane from you. They look so nice I would just stare at them a be afraid to use them. The way you clear the waste at 12:24 is nifty, I was shaping a few wedges of my cheap planes and this never occured to me. Cheers!

Very nice job, I especially liked the shape of the Ebony wedge for the iron. Thanks for the video!

[@jeffbourne6015]

Utter perfection to produce such a stunning skewed coffin plane. The resulting shavings are incredible! This concluding part ( like Parts 1 & 2) is absolutely a joy to watch and see your skills to produce the ebony wedge and the mouth closer. Your use of simple highly accurate self made jigs , and hand tools, combined ,when necessary ,with a router was so insightful. Throughout the whole construction process your attention and accuracy is patently clear. All your work and videos demonstrate this. Thank you so much for continuing to provide such wonderful creative content - it not only educates, it is a joy to watch and be inspired by!!

[@willxin4517]

I am about to use ebony on a project and seeing how you shaped the wedge, gave me some good ideas on how to approach some issues. I liked how you sanded the mouth of the wedge like how some of those knife sharpening jigs worked. Glad to see you back on KZbin. I get you had some real life activities to work on, but it is appreciated that you are back and this was a great project.

[@StavrosGakos]

👍👍👍

[@Blackys-Boy]

Well done! I noticed the steps you took to minimize the chances of blowing out the edges while forming those intricately curved surfaces. Working with Ebony is always a challenge. Its so hard that it's brittle. And that dust! It's like working around copier toner! You have to seal all the surrounding wood so the dust doesn't get stuck in the pores and discolor the lighter colored wood!!

[@StavrosGakos]

You got it 👍👍👍

Mouth closer? Is that your own invention? I have never seen such a thing on such a plane before. I am impressed also with the skew action. It seems to cut the Ebony so well.
