[@the-troublemaker]

hell of a job but good done , watch my videos

[@lennyrossa834]

do you sell any of the things u make

[@alext9067]

The knurling method takes the cake. How in the world did you come up with that one? It's pure genius.

[@iamgaming8888]

Help me! Please

[@PPMOCRG]

A router plane is a timeless tool. Nicely done!

[@hariddle3]

I'm sure when you brought the load of scrap wood home you didnt know that you would be inspiring woodworkers from all corners of the world but you surely have. Thanks for another great video. I hope the scrap wood pile never runs out.

[@PaskMakes]

I know, it’s crazy and never thought I’d get the response I have! Thank you! 😊

[@_cineris]

8:23 "And I'm just gonna eyeball it, and do what I think looks about right" So happy to hear this after so many other KZbinrs are like "well my cross cut jig is only .05 degrees off over a 24" run, but we can do better, we just need this [$74293842 tool] to dial it in". Earned a sub with that right there. Also, striking a line off just using your finger @ 4:11 Love it! Real, down-to-earth woodworking!

[@theseconddarrin3788]

Your knurling method is just about the best example of working with what you have that I’ve ever seen.

[@crisnevin7934]

Discovered your channel a few days ago and it is quickly becoming one of my favorites!

[@PaskMakes]

Glad you enjoy it!😊

[@puma4215]

getting the impression on the screw with the file and the vise made my day. So simple, so effective.

[@realarmpit8686]

Pask! I LOVE watching tour videos. I'm a plumber of 13 years and we dont handle wood like this. I can't wait dor every video to come out. Every time I see yours I get so happy. Thank You.

[@nickd5943]

Great video. Thank you for giving pros and cons for different steps in all your videos, that is greatly appreciated. Finally! You are the first person on KZbin that drilled and tapped wood and used ca for strengthening the threads. I learned that when building R/C airplanes.

[@Frankowillo]

Great tip for strengthening the wooden threads with Superglue. Man, your brain never stops working. Cheers, Frank.

[@LordDecapo]

I have a playlist for everything I dream to make and have in my workshop when im older. Your videos are a majority of whats in there xD

[@DanKoning777]

*Well done Neil.* I can't speak for everyone, but when making things, the best part is: making it yourself; making it out of things that weren't intended for that purpose; successfully manipulating things to work other than their intended purpose to help create your build; *and the satisfaction of seeing your idea come together, and work in the end.*

[@marcussmith3848]

I’ve got a Stanley router plane and love it... but I’ll definitely be making one of your versions as well... I think that’s the best ‘home made’ design I’ve seen 👍🏻

[@PaulMcGuinness]

That exciting moment when you wake up to another Scrapwood Challenge - Best way to start a Friday morning :-)

[@charliedalmasso4672]

Fergus the Forge Pig is back !!!! love it !

[@dremelts]

Best design I have seen for a DIY router plane. I like Bruce Matthew's idea of leaving the opening the same size but simply bedding the iron lower in the body of the plane so it is not hanging out there so much. Great idea, great video, great execution!

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much! 😊

[@valveman12]

The knurling using an old file, vise and some tin...was GENIUS! Love the build!

[@shinbehindtheveil6805]

Thank you, sir. Most sincerely. Awesome craftsmanship, as always. And the final piece, as usual, not only a functional tool, but a piece of art. And congratulations not only for the craft skills, but also for the presentation. I don't know where to begin the praise. Great, smart editing. All the details shown, without superfluous talk about the obvious details, which would just sidetrack from the important parts. Also, I really, really liked how the four legged pal contemplated about the important matters of life at the same moment as you contemplated about which piece of wood to choose in the beginning of the process. True camaraderie. One more thing. Gee, what a sharp chisel, at ~8:30! And curved one, at that. Just a slight tap with the soft pad of your palm, and it works like a charm. Thanks again, for sharing the knowledge and your passion with us. Wish you all the best. And keep up the good work!

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much - glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@jameskirk3210]

Hello, you're definitively a nice inventive guy : this serie is one of the best ever seen on wood working. I wish you all the scrapwood you need for ever😉👌👍🖖

[@miguellozano1281]

You make it seem easy what a master's work really is. Congratulations!!! 👌👍

[@Timshowtomake]

Hi Neil, the scrapwood challenge is meanwhile my weekly must-watch ;-)I hope you never run out of scrapwood

[@PaskMakes]

That's great to hear Tim - glad you're enjoying it mate! :)

[@hansdegroot8549]

Great build! Thanks for sharing! I learned a lot from this video. Pask rules!

[@christofix]

every time i get a notification when you upload i think, YES!!! Another video! i always enjoy your work. Keep making videos man!

[@BruceAUlrich]

Fantastic, just as all of your other videos! Love it when you make...well, anything! I learn loads, as you might say. Thanks, Neil!

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much Bruce - Great to hear you enjoy the videos and get something out of them! 😊

[@irishwoodwrker]

Great video! Loving the scrap wood series!

[@ethanl9656]

Really like the design! Your knurling method just made me shout "FUN!" Out loud. Fantastic idea

[@billybobjoe198]

That thumb screw turned out great. Neat idea on the knurling.

[@larryfisher7056]

Japanese Saw File

[@SwallowForge]

Really enjoyed watching this. May I ask, what did you use to speed up the video. Looked more like stop motion than just the usual speed up. Great editing effect whatever it was.

[@mikes1345]

Scrap and imagination equals functional art. Love this series!!"!

[@tlaim]

Scrap wood challenge... over the next 7 days I'm going to make stuff out of scrap wood... 25 episodes later. Keep up the good work.

[@komitadjie]

Watching you introduced me to the Shinto SawRasp, MAN that thing is great! Really love these Scrapwood videos, I get a smile every time I see one of your projects pop up. :)

[@frankbusuttil2572]

Love the tool and love the knurling trick. Thanks for sharing.

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Great looking router plane Neil! Thank you for sharing the video with us.👍😎JP

[@Pyxe_ZA]

Yet another great video. And in my opinion, I came here to watch you MAKE stuff lol. So you making a blade was worth the watch, I don't want to destroy my chisels, love them too much. Also love the fact that you don't add background music, and lengthy explanations.👌

[@jmert_5859]

love the way you make your knurled nobs

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks John! I like them too, they're not perfect but they have character! ;)

[@HWoodCreations]

Same here.

[@JDeWittDIY]

@@PaskMakes Last time I saw you do that, I got to thinking about a jig to help with file knurling, and this reminded me again. Make a dedicated clamp with 3 bearings that would press the knob against the file. Two bearings behind the knob and one bearing behind the file where it contacts the knob. Press them together with this clamp, then use a bar clamp to slowly push the file through. It will roll on the bearing and the knob will rotate in its pocket with two bearings behind it. Maybe have a backer behind the file as well. And we get to watch a video of you making this clamp/jig! :) (Just an idea-- Love your videos!)

[@PaskMakes]

That's a great idea! I like it and may just have a go at something like that! Thanks very much! :)

[@JDeWittDIY]

@@PaskMakes I'm glad you like it, and I'll keep my fingers crossed that it makes it into a video!

[@alangeisdorf4198]

thank you, often i get stuck in the creative department, not knowing what or how to make something, or even the idea of using scrap for these projects, now i know why i saved my scrap. it really does have value, thank you

[@davidlovell4390]

Another cracking project. I will be making one of those!! Thanks Mr P

[@JEE_13]

Yet another awesome project from Neil for my list of must dos. Thanks Pask

[@MillerWoodcraft]

I love the scrapwood challenges... This is a beauty of a router plane.

It's super cool seeing you use a balanced combo of hand tools and power tools!

I can't even build the things this guy makes the tools to build...FML....What a craftsman! Cheers from across the pond.

Mais um trabalho que merece toda admiração e compartilhamento, meus parabéns 👍🏻

[@namelessgarrett3052]

That knurling trick is amazing!

[@BlueDart1971]

I had no idea what was happening until the end. Pretty slick!

[@willemkossen]

Nice one. Great to see a different design. When i made my own quick&dirty routerplane i started a youtube playlist with all the home made routerplane vids i could find, and i keep adding new ones as i discover them. So your video is on the playlist now. Anyone who needs a routerplane can find all the ideas in one place.

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks Willem! :)

[@scottlouis7785]

That is a lovely plane & you have had the fun of making it, love it

[@MarkMcCluney]

Always a treat. Loved the animation at the end there - one of your best! Thanks mate.

[@standswithfish]

Another project I have been meaning to do! I have access to a surface grinder, so already made 2 cutters from Allen wrenches. Really like your design 👍

[@garyfetrow8324]

I love your improvised knurling method. I'll be using that all the time now.

[@ratroddiesels1981]

your skills and knowledge are invaluable . if storms ever hit the fan you would be in great need, cheers.

[@mertothe1st.258]

Amazing mate. I love watching your tool builds! 👍👍👍👍

[@willb3698]

Great tip using super glue to help keep the thread. I do that on a part for my double bass (instrument) - that bears the tension of all 4 strings and the CA glue works a treat. 1st time I have seen it outside that application. Lovely tool you made!

[@wrstew1272]

Some of us build airplanes with the stuff. And mend split nails, and broken cup handles, and any other things that don’t move too fast. Damn stuff works wonders. Oh yea, reinforces threaded holes also!

[@ehengle]

Love your work and got a kick out of your knurling technique! Can't wait to try it sometime.

[@mikedrop4421]

This challenge has become a bit predictable.. You start with scrap and end up with something beautiful and useful. Don't change a thing.

[@OriginalRaveParty]

I'm really good at starting off with beautiful wood and ending up with scrap :D

[@z_polarcat]

Gnome Party send it to to Neil

[@PaskMakes]

Haha - glad you're enjoying it Mike! :)

[@xsbxsbxsb]

Just record your youtube videos backwards.

[@rafaelvillalobosjr4884]

How have threads held up? Any reason NOT to use an insert? BTW...beautiful work!

[@MrChrissy1r]

This is another version of the sort of thing I/we used to make as young apprentices starting out in the big wide world of cheap tools, we used to call this one a grannies tooth, also ideal for bottomming out half laps. We used to make similar ones too that held firmer chisels of all sizes. A very simple one was a countersunk wood screw with the underside of the head hones to a sharp edge, a quick simple get you out of a hole(excuse the pun) for one off jobs.

[@heyimamaker]

Thanks for sharing Neil, I really enjoyed this one and the tip on the gnarling was very good!

[@kikdtd]

never cease to amaze man. very inspiring

[@RedBairnMedia]

Great project sir. The hand made knurling was a touch of class!

[@brucematthews6417]

I can think of two things to stiffen up the blade so it doesn't chatter. First would be to make the groove a bit lower in the body so it doesn't have to stick out so far just to get down to level. You're sort of going to do that with the modified opening so more of the blade is supported. But that's going to make the hole pretty small and harder to view what is happening. Next up might be to make the dado for the blade twice as deep and epoxy in a second non moving blade that extends out and down to just shy of level with the sole. This would aid the stiffness of the blade by extending the support and hopefully again reduce the chatter. A very slight arc bent into the moving cutter blade would also focus the bed pressure at the ends of the blade too. I'm liking these ideas and I need a larger size router plane of my own. I think I'll have to have a go at a similar design but with these changes

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks for the good tips Bruce! I did think about lowering the blade but then there will be less of it in the plane body. That may still be ok but I kept the overall size of the tool compact and felt I left the thickness of the body about right. 😊

[@Cactusworkshopchannel]

very nice! the knurling technique is great!!

[@1924ab]

Great job! This going on my to do list for sure! Thanks for sharing.

[@Schumar2610]

It is always a pleasure to watch the videos you made. I am very very impresst and Im envious every time. Great idea this router plane and for me ist is alway a lesson to learn new technics. Please dont stop anytime and make the world smarter anymore and more and more and........... kindly regards from Germany Martin

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much Martin! 😊

[@scottsimpey2965]

Another great scrap wood challenge Neil. Great looking piece.

[@johnskyleir]

What you are doing is an art. I'm speechless , but the product that you finished is excellent, marvel, beyond the perfect, unbelievable. You are a professional wooden master. Thank you I learnt a lot and I appreciate your video.

[@ovaldobraun4464]

That is a beautiful thing. I'm glad I stumbled upon this channel

[@Aardrijk1]

Very cool design! I'd never heard of this type of plane until now. I always learn something from your videos! Thank you.

[@user-rp6mq5pc3f]

I love working with metal and wood, I can do something myself, and I really respect the Real Masters. Compliment!

[@martijnverschuren3578]

Small tip if you cut a bolt leave a nut on it, when you remove the nut after cutting is restores the treath on the bolt. Nice video.

[@AdeAhmat]

Another beautiful piece of work.

[@brainfornothing]

Good work ! And very interesting knurling technique ! Thanks for sharing !

Creating organic forms are a hard thing for me to get my head around. Not only is this beautiful it seems very ergonomic at well. I'm well impressed... as always.

Thanks very much! I went through a couple of test designs before I settled on this. I’m very pleased with how it looks and it really is comfortable to use! 😊

Hey Pask! Big fan of your channel! You should make a jointing plane and other tools, so you can make scrap wood projects WITH scrap wood projects!

I watch these at double speed - which which combined with your own speedups/timelapse segments is just phenomenal. 10/10 would recommend.

[@hawkercnc8261]

Seeing the pig furnace that appears to be lined with expensive ceramic fibre an article I read in ME describes using an outer shape such as a tine and lining it with sand and cement to which aluminium chips from swarf have been added with a central removable xylinder to leave a cavity. The aluminium swarf fizzes and leaves a series of air pockets making a refractory liner in situ. I have not tried this but photos in the article showed it to work and be very good as an insulator. He added a metal tray to put stuff on, might be worth a go.

[@justinknowles2757]

Awesome job, I really enjoy videos like this! Keep up the amazing work! Cheers!!

[@drhender6943]

You are an amazing craftsman. I especially enjoy watching you build such fine tools. I love the round, organic shape. I do think it would be useful to have on with flat side so it could be used against a straightedge.

[@whitedoggarage]

Thanks Neil, I enjoyed this video. What a neat little tool, I hope we see you use the new one you are going to make in a future video. Thanks again.
