How to Make a Plane till for Hand Tool Storage | Woodworking Shop Project

How to make a Hand Plane till
I wanted a place to store all my hand planes. that means I needed to make a hand plane till or storage rack to store all the planes and keep them handy. this hand plane storage mounts flat to the wall on French Cleats. it is a simple hand tool woodworking project that most beginners can tackle. once you figure out the how to it is all downhill.

Beautiful job excellent planing skills.

[@warpfly6318]

Rex Kruger channel introduced you to me and im soo glad he did. Your channel is awesome ty

[@WoodByWright]

Thanks man! I love his channel. the two of us have a lot of fun together!

[@warpfly6318]

also what is the saw used to cut along the fence?

[@andrewbrimmer1797]

James don't stop talking your humor is as enjoyable as your teaching skills thumbs up friend and mentor

[@TheWoodYogi]

Looks great James. I'm sure it will be full before too long 😃

[@WoodByWright]

+The Wood Yogi lol yup they like to multiply.

[@Jawg16]

Bro, your Jorts are on point. Must have been from the end of season bargain bin from the Stein Marts from Hamilton Ohio. 👌🏻.... I say that because that’s where I got mine

[@harryhino2267]

I'm new to your channel and love your work. I did cringe when I saw you put a plane on your bench on it's sole. I received many a "thick ear" from my dad for doing just that!!! "A plane needs to be on it's side to protect the protruding blade" he used to say. This was second only to laying a saw on the bench (needed to be stood up). When he passed some 20 years ago, I inherited all his tools he acquired over the years. I still have the first saw he bought as an apprentice in 1955. I am recently retired and am looking forward to reacquainting myself with all those tools, awaiting the "clip behind the ear" when I mess up 😁

[@WoodByWright]

There are a lot of people from the mid-century who had that beat into them. You're not alone lol

[@levilam522]

Nice panel, more work than just a sheet of plywood... really nice..

[@HovingtonInstruments]

Those last 2 projects sure filled up that wall pretty quickly.. It looks great and very user friendly!

[@WoodByWright]

thanks man. still have a lot of other smaller ones to go up.

[@frankfilippone8857]

I live in a heavily damp area. I need to put my planes in a "sealed container". I am going to build this with sides and a cabinet style door. Typically I use vci anti rust paper and emitters to keep the metal from rusting. It is a wonderful concept.... very "dense". Thank you . Frank

[@opasworkshop8373]

You're right James both those tills really compliment each other as well as that shop.

[@WoodByWright]

+Opa's Workshop thanks Opa!

[@haroldschultz5864]

Just watched this video on the suggestion of another one of your subscribers . When you used the 1/4 inch strips to guide your combination plane a big light bulb turned on in my head . Pure genius man . Just have a strip of whichever width dado you're cutting and drop it in the previous and there's your guide . Love it !

[@WoodByWright]

Glad I could help.

Awesome!!

[@jhowe5571]

OK, this is great! I'm in the middle of building an attached shelving and French Cleat system to my work bench. I have 4 of 6 pieces milled for the French cleats and was about to make the plane till. I thought it would be a good idea to take a look at this video before hand and make sure I was on the right track. Thanks to your video, you showed me a few design ideas I hadn't considered! Now, I have a better plan for making it! After that comes the chisel rack, the saw till and something for all the marking tools... etc.... Oh, this will be fun! Thanks, James!!! :-)

[@WoodByWright]

Sounds like a fun time. It is always nice when everything has a home!

[@johnhemby8631]

Hi from Rex's channel, just picked up the plans for this and the saw till with Rex's patreon discount code. Looking forward to building both.

This is sick, I just have 1 metal plane don't think I will be making one of these haha - Stanley no 4.

[@nkuete]

Awesome plane storage! I love how simple it is, and I love that you can add additional planes above. Great stuff, I think I'll be building your design when I need storage for my planes

[@WoodByWright]

+Nic Kuetemeyer thanks Nic. Looking forward to seeing what you built.

[@111raybartlett]

Again that giant piece of white oak is making me envious! Very cool till design, when I get my own shop I'll have to remember this option. Also a nice video to watch.

[@WoodByWright]

Thanks Ray! I have 2 more in stock that are bigger than that. one is 24" wide by 10' clear and strait. sorry I had to! LOl

[@whittysworkshop982]

I recently got an old Marples MA44 plough plane (basically the same as a Record 044) and since I got it ive found the same joy as you..... I could cut grooves all day long :) Last night I got bored, so I went to the workshop and cut 3 grooves in the side of some waste pine 2x4 about 600mm long, used my T5 to plane the grooves away..... I then proceeded to cut another 3 grooves. Like ive heard you say "second verse, same as the first"..... I kept doing it until I planed the wood into what was essentially, non-existence hehe :P

[@kishorekrishnan9085]

Lovely build.Thanks once again. I am just done with a hand built workbench (Paul Sellers) and have become reasonably adept at hand cut dovetails.People like you inspire me.

[@WoodByWright]

thanks! that means more then you know!

[@hydrochloridrix]

Finished mine this week. Works and looks awesome! Thanks for the great video, the inspiration and the plans which were easy to adapt to my needs!

[@VORONM]

Cool! Very convenient storage system planes! I like that.

[@russellnentwich8745]

Have a question for you. Have you heard of a vintage buckeye hand plane? It was made by buckeye saw and vise. It like a #4. I’m not sure if they are any good or not. I’m asking you because you seem the be the man when it comes to hand tools.

[@WoodByWright]

They are good. Not the best on the world but if tuned up well they would preform perfict. It would be a good user plane

[@paco_vazquez]

Great job and design for your till. I'm always glad to see pure joy when you say something like...I really love xyz...about everything! Glad you're sharing the joy of woodworking. Getting jealous 😒.

[@ramingr]

I was looking for a video like this one and, once again, James has the answers! Thanks man! Just a suggestion: for us newbs, it would be very helpful whenever you use a bench plane just to mention what size it is. It's probably not that important but I often find myself wondering which size I should use for each particular task. I suppose it gets easier with experience ;)

[@WoodByWright]

Thanks I have a few videos on that topic too. Here is one. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4K8dXZtZ950qck

James: yeah that's a nice chair, it's my shop chair! Holy crap he's a time traveler and he can read minds! Instance sub! By the way, I was looking for a plane storage build and this one is just the right type! Thanks James,

[@jimbo2629]

Great video and great skill. You are very eloquent. A simple and effective design. You did cut towards your left hand when marking the groove. Not a criticism, maybe it will prevent pain one day. How do I know?? . A labour of love. Oak is a tough wood to work. I could never master my Stanley rebate plane, unless the grain was just right. Like you I also love linseed oil. It brings out the grain, and leaves your hands feeling good and smells nice. I use power tools for speed when ripping, but am keeping to hand tools more and more these days. I really draw the line at repetitive rip sawing!! I love your bow saw. Inspiring.

[@WoodByWright]

thanks Jim. that means a lot. If I was not making videos for a hand tool channel I would probably use a table saw to. LOL

[@triune_blades]

Beautiful job!

[@WoodByWright]

Thanks.

[@alexanderjnaazeer]

Pro tip, for 1/4 stock if you take a cutting gauge and make a deep pass on both sides then hang it off the side of your bench and give it a quick tap it breaks right off. then just clean it up with a plane and youre good to go :)

[@WoodByWright]

yup that works well. I have done that a few times.

[@Obi1kenobi10]

Welp, you have just given me projects #3 and #4. 1 is workbench, 2 is a small stool for the kitchen.

[@robsiklos]

Great video - thanks for making this. One question: why bother making grooves for the 1/4 x 1/4 square pieces? Why not just glue them directly on to the back board?

[@WoodByWright]

You could just glue them on. However they receive a lot of lateral force from things banging into them and if the glue isn't perfect it becomes the weak point. Putting it into the joint gives you a little bit of mechanical advantage.

[@solidsnake9332]

[@WoodByWright]

+TrollForge lol thanks man

[@VideobyHomeworks]

James, I really like your design here, not to mention your craftsmanship! But I have a "supposer" for you: suppose a few of your favorite user planes were wood-body or transitional era planes (like mine! 🙂)? Those don't fit neatly down into your French cleat slots, the way your cast iron Bailey planes do. How would you design your way out of that little conundrum? Just a deeper bottom block with a more definitive lip, perhaps? But what about the top? I can only think of a deeper block with a rotating latch of sorts, that has to be turned up when taking the plane out, or down whenever you put it back. I'd be curious to know how you'd approach this situation. (... and your plane collection is beautiful, by the way!) Thanks, James! Skip Hall Suffolk, Virginia

[@WoodByWright]

I have a few I want to mount up there the problem I ahve is they are all much wider. so they do not work on the same rack. but I would hang them the same way with a cleat top and bottom just the cleats come out further to wrap around tot he top of the body. the top cleat just needs to be deep enough so that you can lift the plane up and unhook it from the bottom cleat.

[@cobberpete1]

It looks great. No room for your Walnut Logo... I guess we will just have to look at the power socket. AND again, Shannon has some advice for you, we have all been planing/flattening boards the wrong way. ;0

[@WoodByWright]

+Peter Compton lol yup was watching the fraud cast when flatting it. Some great thoughts there. I have a place for the logo. Just need to put it up. The chisels will soon be covering the outlet.

[@carbonitegamorrean8368]

+Carbonite Gamorrean yup I have one and thought of using it but I am lazy lol thanks man. I have a few larger planks of white oak.

[@carbonitegamorrean8368]

You aren't lazy... And wow! you suck ;-)

[@anemul266]

I alweays like your style so far and this rack is no exception. I do have a question though. The planes on the bottom far left are like the majority of planes I own so far where the base of the tote rest at the edge or even a little pass the edge. Did you have to do something different to accommodate the Stanley No. 4 1/2's or the No. 3's?

[@WoodByWright]

With the smaller sizes it just rests on the tote. It doesn't have to clip into anything. Gravity is constantly pushing the plane against the wall so it doesn't actually have to hold it against the wall at the bottom. Just up at the top.

[@marksexton1340]

I'm curious if you put a single cleat on the back to hang it with, or did you put a cleat at each cleat on the wall...???

[@WoodByWright]

It is hanging on just two bars.

[@SW-jo7vy]

Love the design. About to add upper cleat blocks. Not sure what the profile is. 1/2" x 1/2" rabit, but what surface is angled ? Also, does the lower and upper cleats support a #4 Stanely plane with its bottom profile? Thanks for the clarification.

[@WoodByWright]

The rabit is determined by the plane as they are all a bit different. Yes it will support a #4 and smaller plane. I talk about that a but in the plans if you want to see more details.

[@MccaneWoodcrafts]

Another great job and beautiful finished piece! Now, why do I not see a spot in your till for the plane on your bench at the end of the video? did you forget about it or does it not get to play with the rest of them?

[@WoodByWright]

+Frank McCane that one will have a spot soon. There are a couple that are not up yet.

[@emeralddragon2010]

beautiful and your planes are so nice as well. one question i am confused about..i see shops have so many planes and i dont understand why...sometimes 3 or 4 of the same size...isnt that redundant or am i not getting something?

[@WoodByWright]

sometimes it's nice to have different planes set up in different ways so you don't have to change the settings to change the use. I have two number fives that I use regularly and one of them is set up as a scrub plane and the other one is set up with a finer plane and finer blade.

[@emeralddragon2010]

@@WoodByWright clearly I need to learn more about planes and their different set ups n uses

[@steh8217]

You may have covered this in later videos.. how did you manage to secure the wooden low angle jointer plane in the plane till? 👍

[@WoodByWright]

It's the same as all the others. There's a clip on the top and gravity holds it against the wall.

[@steh8217]

Oh kool, i thought it may be different since the wooden plane wouldnt be able to slip under the angle of the wooden toggle. Didnt realise it would work the same 👍👍

[@vinestone4476]

So can ask about the the base that the planes sit on...is that board flat or angled back or rabited? I understand that the top clip is, but is a flat base good enough to hold the plane in place? I guess it makes sense that it would be. The centre of gravity would be over hanging the base board so with out the top piece the plane would fall back from the top down.

[@WoodByWright]

It is angled back about 5°. Not much is needed but a little bit just helps set it in place in case you don't set it fully back against the wall.

LOL nope, but I am licensed to fly one. I have not had a chance to in over a year though.

[@christ9359]

Do you ever use a brush to apply the BLO? How does it turn out? It looks like it might be a better way to do larger pieces, but not if you sacrifice quality.

[@WoodByWright]

the brush works fine. there is no surface residue when you wipe off the excess so it does not matter what you use to apply it. most of the time I prefer a rag as the brush will be trash when done.

[@Lemongrasspicker]

Looks good! Organization is a wonderful thing to have in your shop. I'm curious where you get all this oak you've been using?

[@WoodByWright]

+Lemongrasspicker actually half the time they are in the city. Some cabnit shop going out of biz. Or some guy passed away with a full shop.

[@Lemongrasspicker]

Wood By Wright makes sense, I'll have to stay more proactive in that case

[@archkde]

Awesome build! But one thing - where did your kerfing plane go? It made me slightly nervous to see you create those kerfs by pushing your saw like that, haha.

[@WoodByWright]

it is up on the shelf. for a cut this far into the board, it was not going to be as steady as a fence. sometimes I will do it with just a knife wall and no fence.

[@AlexPacin]

Everything is coming out so nicely! Quick question for you: I see that you are using modern drill bits with your brace. Is your chuck the two jaw or three jaw variety? Do you get any slippage? I have a two jaw and just assumed (perhaps incorrectly) that it wouldn't hold.

[@WoodByWright]

Sone two jaws will hold both. Like this one. but most of the older ones will not.

[@csherdel]

How well do your shorter planes with the handles all the way back to the heel stay in?

[@WoodByWright]

perfectly. gravity holds them tight to the wall so even with out a bit of heel hanging out they will stay there tell I need them. if you really want to you could carve a small notch for the handle to rest in, but it is not needed.

[@csherdel]

Thanks!

[@HibikiKano]

Och am on the way of making both of those [albeit smaller, due to smaller shop]. But was wondering how did you make the holder for the wodden plane we see down the line in the new videos? Couldnt find it on the site with plans nor searchign through the videos.

[@WoodByWright]

I'm guessing you're talking about the clip that holds the top of the plane? That is the same as the others. On the wooden plane it's just held in with friction.

[@luispereira5250]

Wow lots of planes. Have you restore all of them? Do you use each plane for an specific porpouse or you use only the blue ones

[@WoodByWright]

the blue ones are the ones I have restored. all but 2 are up and running. they all have things that they are better at than others.
