10 Secrets to Better Hand Planing

[@twcmaker]

Everyone should save this video to a PLANING Playlist just as a reminder or a FAULT finder for when they have a planing problem. Great video Rob 👌

[@smtitmas]

@3:05 Yeah, I get it. Sometimes when im in my shop and im running my 5 1/2 over the surface of a gorgeous chunk of wood with a fresh edge on the iron and its singing as those wispy thin shavings curl up and over the side of the plane...Yeah, i get a tad bit emotional as well and need to pause and reflect on what a wonderful process this whole journey has been. What a great moment.

[@Mr_Rick]

Oh man Rob!... The sound of planing, the smell of the shaving, the feel of the surface....I never tire of your passion, discipline and all the sharing. Thanks. I gotta go to the shop now.

[@kennethspeed2019]

This is a wonderful tutorial on how to use a bench plane I've watched it more than once. I'm practically embarrassed to admit that I stumbled on something that makes setting a plane blade easier a little while ago. It seems that everyone wants you to adjust the right/left tilt of the blade by turning the plane over and sighting down the length of the body. A while ago I looked across my plane (at a right angle to the sole) and adjusted the blade to the front edge of the mouth. It was so easy and so natural because I was adjusting the blade to be parallel to the mouth. Try it!

[@stufarnham]

Hand planing got me into hand tool woodworking because doing it well is so satisfying . I laughed out loud when you talked about just making shavings. I have a box oF offcuts Ie save just for that. Stu

[@RobCosmanWoodworking]

Its so fun just to plane. Those who have never tried it dont understand

i have a questoin at the end of my comment. though it may seem counterintuitive, i love seeing a mistake in the editing or rather when a bad 'take' is left in. oddly enough it shows how seriously and professionally you take the responsibilty that you guys have undertaken in teaching all of us the peace and joy of woodworking by letting us see just a small piece of the work you do do make each presentation perfect. you said your favorite thing about hand planing is the surface it leaves. while i agree that it is unparalleled my favorite thing is sense of peace it brings to me. as an aside this week i was given the gift of speaking to three active/retired servicemen and women that were wounded in combat. one specifially was an airman whos parachute failed but the other two, understandalbly didnt want to talk about their trauma, while i certainly respect that and did not press them at all, i feel like those two who were quiet and semed distressed where the ones i would have rather spoken to with more specifics about PHP. but i was able to give each of them a rob cosman buisness card after spent a few minutes telling them about you guys, what you do for woodworkers all over the world with you videos and more specificaly what you have done with your amazing PHP,. i gave them each a card and they excitedly said that they intend to apply. thanks again to you, luther, frick, jake and all the others who are involved. big question....i havent seen megan in the last few live shows. how is she doing ? how is the prenancy coming? ps rob is my teacher, luther is my hero and jake is the man. pss how can i get some additional buisness cards

[@bradisaac9540]

Hey, Rob, I’ve been using hand planes for almost 40 years. It’s awesome I always seem to learn something new with your videos. A question occurred to me during this one. Let’s say you need to plane down 1/8”+ inch of material. Do you find it more efficient to use thin shavings at first or start with thick and then go down to the thin ones? I’ve always gone thick down to thin. By thick I mean the type you have to throw your whole body into. But you mentioned planing for hours on end. It occurred to me that might be wasting my energy muscling through those thick shavings. I’ve always tired out in 15-30 minutes.

[@1deerndingo]

Another top video. Great for new comers and a good reminder for those who have been doing it long enough to develop bad habits. Surely not me. I put a 5 gallon drum beside me and get used to throwing the shavings in the bin. Saves on cleanup. I should put it on a wheeled pot stand. Easier to just kick around.

[@watermain48]

[@danielbraca6180]

I'm not a huge fan, per se, of ASMR... But if I were, the sound of a sharp plane doing its thing is so relaxing and would likely be my selection to listen to. Adding in the pleasant feel of the proper mechanics when everything finally "clicks," the feeling of handling a well tuned hand tool, the scent of the lumber, the resulting visual satisfaction of the thin shavings and finally the feel of the surface texture on the resulting wood surface... It is such a pleasure but can also be extremely frustrating when you aren't getting proper results. These videos are an awesome, quick reference to get you on the right track! Thank you, Rob and team!

[@RobCosmanWoodworking]

[@jhcampbell7528]

Mr. Cosman, before your time with Lie Neelsen and WoodRiver, did you rely on hand planes for finishing as much as you do now? If so, did you use old Stanley planes, and was the 5.5 always your favorite? I never hear you talk about the tools you used heavily before modern, premium planes like LN and WR became available. I'm curious because I have a hard time imagining you with a lot of sandpaper!

I made last week a mirror frame from African walnut, cut, made all the joint ( mitered bridle joints), grooves for the mirror to sit in, and planing it and dimensions all the parts with hand tools...but I don't know way the hand planing part is the most joyful part...the surface of the frame was so smooth even the in the parts were the wood fibers went all directions ( it was less smooth) for the first time I have decided not to sand it, put few coats of Tung oil ( two- three days). I had a lot of fine shavings so instead of throwing them I am giving it away to my wife's school petting farm class. Thanks keep your health and stay sharp!

[@Tilburger72]

Hi Rob, thanks for all your tips. It’s very helpful, but I am wandering something. Around 9 minutes in this video, you saw you use the plane to finish a ready piece. Suppose you want a table leg to be precise 40mm. Do you then initial plane it a bit more than 40 so you can plane it to 40 when all work with it is done? If yes how much bigger then do you plane it?

[@cougar1861]

Thanks very much! Re #10, overlap marks: why plane while retracting blade rather than retract the blade fully then plane while exposing the blade gradually ... as you demonstrated in an earlier tip?

[@RobCosmanWoodworking]

no problem

[@andrewbrown8148]

Great technique refresher~! I'm getting much more comfortable planing board edges and using my shooting board, but I still need a bit of practice on wider boards in order to try getting away from having to finish-sand a surface...my ultimate goal~! Thanks Rob~!

[@arkansasboy45]

When you mentioned eliminating some machinery by learning proper handplaning skills, which pieces of machinery were you referring to?

[@Original_Old_Farmer]

I've got a question that could be saved for a live stream for answering. No matter the price of a hand plane, why are there so many dead turns when moving the height adjustment knob to the opposite direction? You use a top quality plane and I see you cranking away when you change direction on the height adjustment knob. To my way of thinking, it should only be half a turn at the most.

[@redwoodprosth]

I’ve wondered the same thing

[@michaelluciano8283]

@@redwoodprosth you have to take up the pitch of the thread.

[@RobCosmanWoodworking]

Dead turns or back lash as it is commonly called is a function of the yolk. and the slot in the chipbreaker the yolk fits into. The yolk pushed forward on one edge of the slot which pushes the blade forward, when you reverse direction the opposite side of the yolk must now move to the opposite side of the slot in the chip breaker. The "Slop" is the amount of turns it takes for the yolk to move to the opposite edge of the slot. If they made the slot thinner it would reduce slop but make it harder to mount the blade to the frog and get it aligned up with the yolk.

[@dc85337]

Great Video - one exception. You use wonderful wood to demonstrate on. Out of necessity (and like) I use regular 2x4 material. How does your plane work (as in a video) on what is called crappy wood? Great on hardwood - no problem - softwood like a lot of us use.......? Probably not so much.

[@Joshleslie871]

I plane 2x4s all the time just for the smell and kindling and other than the knots being brutal on the blades edges and needing to resharpen it gives a lovely finish

[@RobCosmanWoodworking]

Watch Robs 32 seconds to sharp to learn how to sharpen your hand plane blade: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZyvenilr5VjrJI

[@123reivax123]

Thanks again Rob...one point: in retracting the blade for finer shavings, do you only retract or do you retract and then spin the wheel forward to eliminate "slop"? Does the blade take care, by itself, of any slop present? Personally, I'm in the habit of advancing to eliminate. Would you recommend not doing that? Thanks again.

[@RobCosmanWoodworking]

I would definitely recommend not doing that. Worry about the slop, or backlash, when you change directions.

[@frankhill9527]

As you get older it is harder to see that blade if it is parallel to the sole. All good points in the video. Enjoyed the content.

[@Offshoreorganbuilder]

Excellent. Many thanks.

[@RobCosmanWoodworking]

thanks for watching and commenting

[@ricos1497]

Fantastic video. On point 9 (I think), you mention putting your hand across the other side of the plane when trying to make a pass over the left side only. I wondered why you wouldn't just use the finger fence trick on the left side of the board but making moving your finger further below plane? Is it just a tipping thing?

[@RobCosmanWoodworking]

You can do that too, it will work

[@BadAppleWoodwerx]

Great video Rob. 😎 Can you tell me what you are using as a blade adjuster knob? It looked like a wing nut.

[@RobCosmanWoodworking]

It’s called an AdjuStar, we pieced the idea together about a year ago. They’re available on our website for a whole slew of planes.

[@Borescoped]

My shavings never come out flat and accordion like. Can’t “pull” a shaving like you do in a super long strip. Mine come out and automatically curl up. Guessing has to do with how the blade is sharpened. Also, pushing the plane with only one hand on the tote, like you do in some videos. How are you accomplishing that trick? One last thing, backlash on the adjuster. I upgraded to the adjuSTAR, but both the star and the wheel have some backlash when changing from shallower to deep cut, and vice versa. Any tricks to reducing the backlash?

[@RobCosmanWoodworking]

The adjustar does nothing to improve backlash it only improves the torque you can apply. Backlash is all about the amount of space the yolk must travel when reversing directions of the blade, not much you can do about that

[@thomasstone3513]

I am kinda new to this but I think your curl has to do with your chip breaker. Maybe someone here will help both of us with that. I have been playing with that distance a little bit but haven't really figured it out yet. Mine kinda curl up too. I feel pretty confident that your backlash is either sloppy threads or just the space between your thingamabob and the hole in your iron (don't know what that thing is called.) I base this as my experience as a maintenance guy on some industrial machinery. If it were a machine we may shim it but with this? I dunno? Maybe? Backlash should really only happen once as you move the blade in one direction. If it happens everytime you go to make an adjustment than something else is also going on.

[@barryomahony4983]

Backlash just goes with the territory. You just need to learn to compensate for it when you're adjusting.

[@michaelcarroll991]

Rob can you please answer a question I have. Is planning wood better than sanding even if go through the different grits away 120 all the way to 300?

[@RobCosmanWoodworking]

There is no grit that would produce a better finish than a sharp handplane

[@danthechippie4439]

Rob can I ask you a sharping question? Do you use the 25 degree primary angle and then raise it a degree or two to final honing for both long and end grain? I used to have one blade set at about 28 degrees for end grain and another set about 40 degrees for long grain. Both blades would have a 25 degrees primary angle

[@RobCosmanWoodworking]

Yes that is exactly what I do. I use 25 for everything unless I need to reach for my High hand 55 degree blade

[@elijahg6008]

Great video. I am wondering about getting a Clifton hand plane and was wondering if you have ever used one and if they are any good?

Idea for inclusion in another video. I read your reply to Frank Cawley in this comments section where you recommend not to take up slack in adjustment when backing off the blade for a finer shaving. Could you further discuss why. When I first took up wood working I listened to a chap who highly recommended that the slack should be taken up. Mind you that person also swears by light weight Stanley Bayley planes. Maybe the better quality Wood River planes don't require that step???

I quit at #1, proper sharpening. When I master that With arthritis I’ll continue on with the plane. Wish me luck 🍀

[@bradisaac9540]

The good news with Rob’s sharpening is it’s just 30 seconds of pain once you get the blade sharp. :) Just a thought. You may have some luck sharpening with a water stone system such as the Tormek T4 (expensive) or Wen’s copy. Even though I don’t have arthritis, I have the T4 (owned a T3 that lasted me 10 years and is still kicking.). It’s good when I have to remove deep chips from a blade or what would otherwise be a 6 hour hand sharpening session. Once you get your blade into the jig, there wouldn’t be much more to it than refilling the water in the trough and gently pushing the blade into the stone. Some people have even fashioned broom “jigs” to accomplish the pressing down part for long stretches. I’ve never tried that, but I suppose it would work.

[@mattthwaites6539]

[@WimpeeChuck]

I use a Lie-Nielsen honing guide and their setup jig. With Rob's stones, I can setup my blade and sharpen in under a minute and keep amazing accuracy. I also have 3 very fine grit pieces of sandpaper on a piece of granite for an even faster touch up than the wet stones.

[@RobCosmanWoodworking]
