by making these videos, you help preserve knowledge for the next millenia. Thank you again for your contributions, they do help us youngster a lot ^^ !

[@gjbmunc]

My pleasure!

[@kingmallow]

I mitre known. I bought your book on jigs and I couldn't put it down. Read it cover to cover. Wonderful, can't wait to complete my collection of your books.

[@gjbmunc]

Wow, thank you!

[@ga5743]

We are so fortunate that you make videos for us Graham. Thanks for the lesson once again. Until I win the lottery I will have to be satisfied with my Veritas miniature shooting board plane. 😀

[@gjbmunc]

Good!

[@PeanutsDadForever]

Thank you for another excellent video!

[@gjbmunc]

Thanks for watching!

I may be confused but for the few years I’ve been interested in wood by hand my understanding was that low angle planes used bevel up irons and the traditional high angle planes used bevel down irons. Thanks very much for another fascinating, very interesting and informative video.

[@gjbmunc]

Some do, some don't!

[@MCsCreations]

Oh... A metal dovetailed plane? I've watched Young Je making lots of them! 😮 But I think about making one out of wood! Thanks for another lesson, Graham!!! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@gjbmunc]

Thanks, you too.

[@mcameron3ify]

Thanks so much for explaining that one!

[@gjbmunc]

Happy to help!

I saw a Lie Nielsen No 9 in San Diego tool meet last Sunday. Vlog is live about that event. That plane feels very solid and costs a lot nowadays.

[@gjbmunc]

Very cool!

[@JimCatalano]

Excellent video, as always. Thanks Graham.

[@gjbmunc]

You're welcome!

[@johnford7847]

Very interesting stuff, sir. Thank you for sharing.

[@gjbmunc]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@iainmcculloch5807]

I've been thinking about making an infill plane for use with my shooting boards. I've seen videos of people making similar planes, and it honestly looks like a really fun project. Also, cutting dovetails in steel and brass. I mean, what's not to like?

[@gjbmunc]

Go for it!

[@gtd-sq2pj]

Good show.

[@gjbmunc]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@rrupt]

Thank you!

[@gjbmunc]

You're welcome/.

It's ironic that the Stanley block planes, which aren't all that good at trimming end grain, have almost completely usurped the title of block plane.

[@gjbmunc]

I agree.

[@MartianHeadquarters]

Thank you for that great information as always but it's made me think... is you have a standard bailey no4 and wanted it to have a higher angle of attack/bed angel, wouldn't you get that from flipping the iron over? assuming you have your secondary bevel at 25, or close to, wouldn't that then give you an effective bed angle of 70 degree instead of 45?

[@gjbmunc]

Pretty much.

[@ChrisStCyr-gnt7]

Here’s my comment. Hope it helps with the modern algorithm.

[@gjbmunc]

thanks

[@professor62]

So, Graham, is a mitre plane the same thing as what is now called a shooting plane? Thanks!

[@gjbmunc]

Yes, by some people..

[@brucewelty7684]

A problem tha I have (and probably others also) is that my fixtures are only as accurate as I can make them...which is sucky!

[@gjbmunc]

Never mind, keep trying!

[@dragomirdichev1196]

I noticed these planes have very tight mouth. Is the tight mouth really necessary for cutting endgrain?

[@gjbmunc]

I find it helps a lot.

[@johnfreiler6017]

3:52, I think you mixed up low angle and bevel location. A low angle blade with the bevel on TOP (not down as you said) is about the same as a higher angle blade with the bevel DOWN (not on top as you said). But a great video otherwise.

[@gjbmunc]

Correct, sorry!

Boa tarde poderia traduzir por favor

[@gjbmunc]

Lo siento. No tengo bastante portugues.

[@PeanutsDadForever]
