Shoulder Plane Unplugged

[@owenjohnson5030]

I was thinking about using the Veritas shoulder plane blade to build my own. Now I'm going to have to add the adjuster to the build. I happen to have couple adjusters as I replaced the standard adjusters with the fine adjuster on my planes. Brilliant job is all I can say! Inspiring!

[@stevewalker7822]

You have a real sense of humor.

[@sdmcustoms]

looks awesome, cool video too

[@bearkatwood6354]

+sdmcustom woodworking Like your stuff. I subscribed and look forward to seeing what you make. Is that your music on your intro?

[@sdmcustoms]

+BearKat Wood thanks for the sub, no it's just music I found online, thanks for watching, I look forward to more videos from you too, thanks

[@soberlivingwithbrianfrankl8254]

It sure wouod be nice to have ya back on here. I absolutely love all your work. 😁

[@bearkatwood6354]

That really means a lot to me and I would love to get back at it. I restructured my world to be around the saws and it has taken me away from everything as they are so labor intensive. Hopefully that will change. Thanks again.

[@soberlivingwithbrianfrankl8254]

@@bearkatwood6354 well I cant blame u for going for it. (Being a saw maker) you have a wonderful talent for it!! I hope one day im lucky enough to maybe own one.

[@ryanallthewiser]

Brian and @JamesWright that was hilarious- great video and challenge!!!! Great seeing my two favorite KZbinrs in a collaboration- y’all should do more of this.

[@jaimegutierrez6055]

Thx for the reply, I been wood working for about 6 years, and I've only been taught by myself and KZbin, I can't believe it's so hard to find master craftsman around to sponge off of, u do great work

[@bearkatwood6354]

Most of the "masters" have put a lot of time and effort into becoming "masters" and don't want to give all that knowledge away for free. I have my 10K hours in to be sure, but doubt I would ever be called a master, mainly because I do give it away and frankly don't care. It is about growing the craft and seeing what the rest of the world can do with the info. Hope my videos are helpful, mildly entertaining and make you want to woodwork.

[@Specialized61]

I was blown away just by the amount of lumber you have!

[@bearkatwood6354]

I have been trying to move it to my new shop location which is a ten hour drive away and after three trips I still have a lot to go so I am blown away too ;)

[@markgoode4109]

super workmanship. was a pleasure to see this being made. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes

[@dankush4881]

I stumbled onto your channel on accident and I've binge watched all your videos. Keep up the great work you're an excellent craftsman. Keep making dust and great videos

[@ahikernamedgq]

That's an impressive wood collection

[@bearkatwood6354]

It has taken years to build up, thanks. I doubt I will ever get thru it all. Take care.

[@rickl.orchids]

whew!..........slamming show, truly raised the bar with this one......I had 35 old bikers at my shop and put this up on the big screen, and they applauded liked it was a pole dance!.......yes..there was beer.............but still great show!

[@bearkatwood6354]

+Rick L Absolutely hilarious!! Glad you liked it.

[@holdemNE1]

After watching this video I now have a greater appreciation for all of my power tools. Still a nice plane but wow that's a lot of tedious work.

[@jessetwidale6939]

This was a fun video to watch and look forward to trying something similar in the near future!! Thanks!

[@alexlawton9261]

I've been reading up on how to make shoulder planes recently and im happy to see that you just posted a video on the subject. i appreciate your work man!

[@Garlic46227]

I loved this video. Thanks guys!

[@TheShavingWoodWorkshop]

Very nice Brian !

[@nathantonning]

Great design. I enjoyed the collaboration.

[@FromDarkness2Light203]

An Awesome Video, Thank You for Teaching Me on How To Make One. Beautiful Job!!!

[@matt_williams1015]

Beautiful plane! Great video!

[@bearkatwood6354]

Thank you very much.

[@woutmoerman711]

Great to see you using handtools without any problem. That resawing went great! Your a good match for the magnificent Mr Wright!

[@kittynoyle5236]

Most excellent video. I learned a lot and can't wait to try some of your methods.

[@WoodByWright]

Sweet job man! IT was really fun working with you on it! we will have to do more in the future. might be worth a trip to the west coast!

[@billfromelma]

Great looking plane. Solid results. Great job!

[@mcremona]

Awesome work Brian. That was a fun watch

[@bearkatwood6354]

+Matthew Cremona It was even more fun to make.

[@mcremona]

The video or the plane? because it looked you were having too much fun doing both

[@bearkatwood6354]

+Matthew Cremona Don't forget picking on baldy! James was such a great sport to put up with my high-jinx and bad behavior, what a fun project. ;)

[@WoodByWright]

+Matthew Cremona What did you say?

[@bearkatwood6354]

+Wood By Wright Nothin'....... How's he keep doing that? ;)

[@MattFriedrichs]

Beautiful work. And, holy cow, what a pile of wood you've got at your disposal there.

[@bearkatwood6354]

+Matthew Friedrichs James Krenov said in his book get some wood and then get some more... so I did. A lot of it.

[@ForemanMade]

gotta love the coping saw

[@jimbo2629]

Just the job. I’ve made one with a hammer adjustment, but found it unsatisfactory. The Lee Valley screw system is ideal. Time to make one, maybe not quite so fancy!

[@KagedCreations08XX]

Great looking plane. I really dig the colab

[@NickFerry]

Wow man, nicely done!

[@bearkatwood6354]

+Nick Ferry Thanks.

[@3Godfree]

Brian, awesome shoulder plane, I think the name "BearAtaK" Plane" fits it well. Great choice of wood and hardware. Thank you for sharing.

[@bearkatwood6354]

+Sam K I like that, Bear-a-taK. I might use that.

[@JayBates]

Man that looks sweet.

[@bearkatwood6354]

+Jay Bates Thanks you.

[@adamquincey4371]

Excellent, great video and a beautiful plane... Cheers...

[@GuysShop]

Fantastic job on the plane Brian. Looks and works great! Also had a lot of fun watching the video.

[@orelygarcia]

It's a work of Art. I dig it and I see you stole Donald Vlogsify's dance moves, Thumbs up.

[@rogersimpson7905]

Nice ... I'll try it one day. Well done!

[@FrontierlessCraftsman]

Turned out very nice man

[@SeanKelly1]

Great video. I have to say the most intriguing par tfor me would have been more detail on that Veritas slow adjuster, how you installed it and how it works. If you ever do a video on that I would very much enjoy seeing it.

[@bearkatwood6354]

Thanks, if I make another one, which I would like to, I will go into more detail. Thanks for watching!

[@Allenrobinson9]

sweeeeeet! Awesome work guys! both planes are beutiful!

[@gizanked]

Even threw his music in there. Nice work.

[@Nearoth01]

lol, all bow to the challenge king! Forcing all subjects to unplug and work some wood. Cool build, you do get me wondering how you did the troubleshooting. Maybe a tips video on problem solving working/making handtools/planes? Must have been tricky to get that compound angle on the wedge right... Now I'll have to add the challenge-e (is that a word?) video to my playlist, THANKS!! Have a great day, cheers.

[@jdbeekeeper]

hi my name in justin and i am a carpenter by trade and i have alway loved making furnture and turning and my girlfrend is helping to set up my own web site and the like and i have been working on remodeling my workshop and i needed to build a new bench and wall tool cabinet and thanks to you, you have inspired my into which way i am to go with there design. What i am trying to say is thanking you and matbe i well ty and get something up here so you can see. Thanks again .justin, Ireland.

[@bearkatwood6354]

+justin dunne cead mile failte, I hope to someday visit our sister city of Bandon over there. Thanks so much. I am very glad it inspired you and I look forward to what you do. Feel free to email me with pics of your work as well. [e-mail] Take care.

[@jdbeekeeper]

i have one more quistion how did you find talking on camre because i hate the sound of my voice when its recorded? thanks again

[@bearkatwood6354]

+justin dunne That's a tricky one. With me, I am socially clumsy to begin with and not big on self confidence, so to film myself took a lot of gumption, but I realized I had gotten to a place in my learning that I needed to share it. The first time you do it you will have 300 outtakes and maybe one good one, the next time it will go smoother and eventually you get to the point where you frankly don't give a darn and then you can just concentrate on what you are trying to get across. The way I see it we would know how the pyramids were made if someone had passed on the knowledge so it is our responsibility to pass on what we know. I have nothing against woodworking schools, if fact quite the opposite, but I do think there needs to be more knowledge given out about our craft. Drop me an email and we could chat more extensively. All the best. Brian

[@cornflake73]

beautiful work Brian, I like the interaction with Jim, fun stuff. I was impressed with your stash of wood, very nice indeed.

[@bearkatwood6354]

Thank you very much, this is definitely one of my favorites. Hope to work with Wood By Wright again soon, great guy.

[@petekronberg4280]

Love your bench. Reminds me of Matt Estlea's 'Bertha' bench..

[@willemkossen]

I love collabs! Love the editing! Nice plane. Its somewhere between steampunk and heavy metal. But you need to get a dustpan and a broom for handtool cleaning! Pet peeve: the proof of the pudding is in the eating. There is no proof in pudding, if there is, toss it, its gone bad. ;)

[@WoodByWright]

+Willem Kossen LOL yes!

[@oakleyjack7600]

I think James and the cat have bugged your Shop.! all good skills to train the hand. That Shed !! its like the fort knox of wood.

[@bearkatwood6354]

Don't tell on me now ;) thanks for watching.

[@owenjohnson5030]

What angle did you bed the blade at? I was thinking of making one with a bed angle of 12 degrees like most Veritas bevel up planes.

[@rbollard1]

Very clever s[lit screen. Nice video guys

[@GnatManAllinCoIronWorks]

Both are absolutely Brilliant! Thanks for sharing Guys! C-Ya!,,,,Peace!

[@MattLaneWoodshop]

Nice work man, looks really cool!

[@ICSDroid]

Which Veritas blade did you use? Did it already have the hole for the adjuster? Which adjuster did you use? Type A or Type B and why? Great video! Thanks.

[@bearkatwood6354]

Wow, a lot of questions there. I don't remember off hand which parts I ordered. I think they sell them in kits now, but when I ordered the blade and adjuster had different sized indexing, so I had to turn the adjuster down a bit on my metal lathe. Little behind the scenes thing there ;) Thanks for watching.

[@robertbrunston5406]

Thanks

[@thomasverga469]

Great job, Do you have a patterns for this?

[@bearkatwood6354]

I do not, sorry. It was kind of an off the cuff thing.

[@rickhickman2730]

I'm just wondering how you managed the screw to leverage the wedge in place? Did you tap the hickory and then use a normal screw?

[@bearkatwood6354]

The hickory is wedged in and then the screw tightens it down like you mentioned, holding the blade in place.

[@rickhickman2730]

@@bearkatwood6354 perfect thanks for the response. Have you had any issues with wood movement? I'm thinking of making a metal bodied infill shoulder plane with the pmv-11 kit and the Norris adjuster, same way you have. I'm concerned with the wood bodies moving

[@jimcooney9019]

wow badass

[@androidgameplays4every13]

Can it be used as a hand router plane?

[@rahamtullahmansuri7665]

Entertaining

[@jaimegutierrez6055]

Great work, did you learn wood working by yourself?

[@bearkatwood6354]

I checked out every book I could from my library, watched youtube and ordered the info I could afford. Now I have way too many books on woodworking and some of it has actually soaked in. Thanks for watching. Oh classes help tremendously by the way. I didn't take my first one until I had been doing it for 16 years, now I can't get enough of them ;)

[@MrApru1]

Type A or Type B slow adjuster from lee valley?

[@bearkatwood6354]

I want to say B, but it has been a while.

[@tonyy6436]

James Wright's vintage plane is a rebate plane (I have 2 of them) not a shoulder plane unfortunately: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoulder_plane

[@Z5iPILEkkbCeTAQJPXD]

Sorry to interrupt: ...what a light box do to the wood? - (apologies for not knowing!) Thank you!

[@bearkatwood6354]

Could you rephrase the question, I am not understanding. Thanks.

[@Z5iPILEkkbCeTAQJPXD]

I noticed that you let the pieces of wood in the "light box". Well, in here (Eastern Europe) we/I don`t know the purpose of it. So then, from here ...the question.

[@bearkatwood6354]

The light box is used by green woodworkers quite often and though I don't do mach in the windsor chair work I find it is very useful for kiln drying small pieces. Green wood chair makers place the stretchers int the box and drill holes in the top. Place the turned legs in the holes with the tenons facing downwards to help dry the tenons before assembly. I use it for this once n a while, but most of the time I use it to make sure the pieces I am working with are at a constant moisture content as I live about 3 blocks form the ocean, it can get a bit humid here. Hope that helps explain it.

[@Z5iPILEkkbCeTAQJPXD]

Thank you very much. Now I get it. It is a kind of juggling whit the wood moisture, leading it around the point of orgasm, but ... do not let it c#m (so to speak ..) until the time came for perfect fitting. Thank you!
