@@KingBespokeCreations your welcome,Ive been looking ways to make that tool, now thanks to you i got it

[@alanfarnworth2802]

really ingenious

[@KingBespokeCreations]

And incredibly useful! I use them all the time 👍

[@Billy_Dino]

Recently I made a finger plane as my first endeavour... Now I'm looking forward to build one of these

[@KingBespokeCreations]

Awesome! There’s nothing like using a tool you made yourself 👍

I am living in Jamaica West Indies, and TODAY I was wondering if and how I could make a homemade Router Plane to help me with my Marquetry/ Wood Inlaying work. I say where I am from to let you be aware that you have helped a Neighbor in a far away land, THANK YOU.

[@KingBespokeCreations]

I love that! 👍

Hello to you 👍

[@DraganIlich-r1s]

Thank you Sir.🎉

[@KingBespokeCreations]

My pleasure! Enjoy making and using it👍

[@luthiferbuilds]

the scary sharp system works like a charm! really cool tool man!

[@KingBespokeCreations]

Simple and cheap

[@Tinmouser]

Brilliant idea. When the weather warms up a bit, I know what I'll be doing. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@KingBespokeCreations]

My pleasure!

[@freednighthawk]

Well, I think I'm gonna have to run to Harbor Freight and pick up a pack of "Blades". I figure if I go ahead and grab a whole fresh pack of Allen keys to use specific to this project, I can have swappable sizes in both Metric and Imperial.

[@KingBespokeCreations]

They’re so simple to make you could have a rack of them, all with different sizes!

[@jonahguitarguy]

I'venbeen thinking about this for a long time. Thanks for the push Chris.

[@KingBespokeCreations]

Totally worth it. Quick and simple make.

[@brightnuertey1451]

I was thinking the same❤

[@dfu1685]

Very nice job! With the project, but especially the instructional aspects. I feel much more confident in trying this myself after watching Your video. Thank You for this work.

[@KingBespokeCreations]

My pleasure. Most of my content is instructional, see what else you can build! 👍

[@ricardoaquino1562]

Thank you!, very nice work👍👍🙏

[@KingBespokeCreations]

I love using tools you made yourself!

[@ricardoaquino1562]

@@KingBespokeCreations its always a pleasure for what you make👍🙏👋

[@drevdevelen9516]

I have a similar one to this, but I guess not all Allen keys are created equal, mine is not completely straight up the long arm, so very shallow cuts are somewhat problematic as the cutting edge raises up. That being said, I love this type of router for M&T work, as you can just screw a long sub base on for larger tenons like on a bed frame I built, and the longer reach of the cutter vs. the standard ones can come in useful for paring a straight flat reference inside a mortise. English Woodworker to thank for that tip btw.

[@ChrisFranklyn]

There's many times I could do with grabbing something like this quickly... but yeah, the prices of commercial ones are too much for how often I'd need one.

[@KingBespokeCreations]

Well this one is completely free!

[@davidjolley2669]

Hi, Well explained video, been looking on flea bay , prices really high for a hand router , thanks for posting Cheers David

[@KingBespokeCreations]

This cuts just as well!

[@zioMav89]

Very good format i love it

[@KingBespokeCreations]

Thanks 👍

[@tinamckeage6665]

Awesome idea

Glad you think so! Super useful tool 👍

[@adrienami8958]

Epic, man!

👏👏👏 Well done

[@АлександрВладимирович-к2р]

Класс ,самый простой способ изготовления наверное 💪🔥👌👍.

[@afterlifeguitars]

Never been able to control these things. Can you put a fence on one?

[@KingBespokeCreations]

Absolutely, especially with a wooden one. Simply screw a bar underneath at the right place. Also, make sure you’re not trying to take off too much in one pass 👍

[@afterlifeguitars]

@@KingBespokeCreations Ah yes that makes sense. Well I know I've got surplus amount of Alan key's (who doesn't) so maybe I'll have to give it a go one day. Thanks 👍

[@KingBespokeCreations]

@@afterlifeguitars it only took an hour or so to make

[@TheGlaude09]

Hi Chris, looks awesome as usual! Browsing forums, I found another interesting way of building a "router plane": with a drywall screw (you sharpen the head, and screw in or out for depth) and a block of wood. Did anyone know about that and already tried it out?

[@KingBespokeCreations]

No, I’ve heard of using a screw to make a morticing gauge but not a plane 🤔

[@unionse7en]

sounds good. advantage: you spread the sharp edge over a wider area disadvantage: may undercut inside corners etc, hard to get a full relief angle, so easy might as well try it.

75 YRS old --use a router every day for fancy table edging profiles --33 000 rpm --however a router plane ? never seen one ! what's it used for ?

[@CarlWinter-oy8uf]

A ROUTER -spindle -----machine --- spins at roughly 33000 RPM ---never heard of a router plane ? what is it used for ?

[@KingBespokeCreations]

@@CarlWinter-oy8uf they are superb at hand cut joints, but will come out for other jobs too. A joy to use, quiet and safe with no need for PPE 👍
