This is fricken awesome and has made my day. Completely individual and tailored to one's personal use. These types of tools are priceless. Long live the spirit of DIY!

[@BatCaveCreations]

Thank you and 100% agree!!!!

[@blayne2029]

Such an impressive project, Jamie! Well done.

[@BatCaveCreations]

Thank you!!!

[@thomasalton2804]

This video is amazing. I greatly appreciate the explanation of why and how. Truly inspiring!

[@BatCaveCreations]

Thank you!!!

[@colinlye280]

That’s a tool. Purpose fit. Great reminder.

Nice video. The sped-up video with clear narration worked really well for the topic at hand. It looks like a significant amount of work went into making that plane. I've bought a few user-made planes that are asymmetric and unique, presumably to match the original user's hand and holding preferences. The level of wear on them shows that they got a lot of use. Can we get a short or 2 showing that beast being put to use?

[@BatCaveCreations]

Thank you!! And deff want to do a few shorts on! Hopefully this weekend if life doesn't get in the way hahah

[@MarkBenge]

thats inspiring! ive had a bunch of tool ideas and seeing you hand holds made for your hands makes me want to do this!

[@BatCaveCreations]

I highly reccomend it!!!

[@kylepenman9802]

Mate! That plane looks absolutely awesome! I've been running with the idea of making my own jointers plane for a while. This video might just be the inspiration i needed to get it going! Excellent job! All in all, loving your content! Keep doing what you're doing mate! You're awesome!

[@BatCaveCreations]

Thank you!! I appreciate that!! And 1000000% go for it! Dive in and have fun, worst comes to worst, it goes in the fire pit and you have fun trying again!

[@davidpeters8813]

Great project! I built a no 6 (18") size jointer with Rex Krueger plans, using the frog from a no 5 and it works really well. I never thought about having a narrow jointer as you explain, but it makes perfect sense. 👍

[@BatCaveCreations]

Thank you!! and ooh I haven't seen the Rex one! I'll have to check that out!!

[@josecanyousee56]

Besides making a cool plane, you rocked with those chisel's!

[@BatCaveCreations]

Thank you! It's taken alot of practice tbh and I think the quality of the chisel helped alot. I started with dark brown narex and thought it was a me problem but the chisels never held an edge. Maybe I got a bad set. Either way I worked my way up to a quality set and it does make a big difference!

[@inkandbarrel]

Loved it! Now I am considering one.

[@BatCaveCreations]

Have fun with it!!!

[@finniunker860]

That is fantastic, Jamie! Congrats with a pretty and perfect plane!

[@BatCaveCreations]

Thank you!!!

[@jajmcg]

Very nice idea and I need to make one now. I don't have access to a mechanism but I can probably build it in the Krenov style because LV sells narrow blade sets for them.

[@BatCaveCreations]

It was alot of fun to make! Deff reccomend making one!!

[@MCsCreations]

Fantastic work, dude! Really well done! 😃 I don't have problems with my hands, but I have a LOT of problems with my shoulders... Lots of pain... Because of this I can't use western saws, but I can easily use Japanese saws. You know? You can hold with both of your hands, use your body and so on... So, I really liked about what you said about number 3 planes... I am from Brazil and I live in a small city, so it's not easy to find older planes... Nor new ones, actually. To buy one of the US brands here would cost me a liver, if not more! So I'm going to need to make my own planes... Which I'm going to do with laminations at first. You know? And there are pretty good and cheap irons from China, which is what I'm going to end up using. And now I'm really considering thinner irons, like the number 3... Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@BatCaveCreations]

100% I get you! We have to adapt to what we are given and to where we are! I deff reccomend trying to make your own if you can't find what you are looking for! It is also alot of fun lol Stay safe also! And thank you!!!

[@Devon.Martin]

What a boss.

[@jessenunes7602]

I love it

[@stuartansell9461]

An 8min video would have been fine in my book.... What you've made looks amazing! Didn't mean to take away from your achievements, with my grumbles 😅😊

[@BatCaveCreations]

Haha I get you no worries! I'm still a noob tbh lol

[@cottrilltoolwoodworks]

You keep doing you brother....if it works, its right. I see a tap tap tappy class in someones future lol.

[@BatCaveCreations]

Hahah YES!

[@matterbe9213]

Where did you get the blank?

[@BatCaveCreations]

From the Alexander Brothers. Highly reccomend them and they ship! www.alexanderbrothers.com/

[@wmcrash]

Bro, this is confusing! Is it a push plane? Is it a pull plane? Is it a push-me-pull-you?

[@BatCaveCreations]

Hahaha all of the above!!

[@stuartansell9461]

I'm afraid I cannot watch/enjoy this, you're moving to fast. 1min of watching just made me angry and frustrated lol 😆 so wanted to listen to you, was impossible without my eyes closed. Sorry dude

[@BatCaveCreations]

No worries! I understand! I'm trying to find my groove with the build videos. Haven't nailed it down yet haha
