Thanks for the Video clip! Forgive me for butting in, I would love your opinion. Have you thought about - Rassiff Amazing Woodwork Blaster (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a good one off guide for getting the best woodworking plans without the headache. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my cooworker at very last got astronomical results with it.

[@travnicek]

I'm really not understand how on earth someone can dislike a video like this. I just don't get how someone gets to a page like this and cannot appreciate at the very least the time and effort that went into this. Love the video Dustin.

I love how you used Illustrator to make your template. Brilliant!

[@michaelconstantine5149]

Very nice piece !

[@cwujek]

Haha, love seeing others make the same type of mistakes that happen to all us woodworkers. It appears you glued the sides on before cutting the profile in the first part of the video. Turned out really nice though!

[@dpmakestuff]

I'm the first to admit I make "those" mistakes. This one was planned though. I wanted the base to be made from a solid piece so I had to glue the sides on, then the bottom and cut the sides off that were attached to the bottom. That sounds confusing to me having typed it out. Thanks! It works great. I want to build another.

[@rachmatfadel9190]

Wow man! You deserve unlimited compliments! Thank you so much for your effort of this video. God bless you man!

this is awesomem pretty proper stuff ... I really like the veritas blade and I really looking forward to the build you make with alec's damascus blade ... thumbs up and keep going!

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks!

[@ronaldlapointe1219]

Nicely done! 👍

[@muckinyoface]

That is beautiful craftsmanship. Videos like this make me wish I could do that kind of work.

[@dpmakestuff]

Thank you!

[@ThePillenwerfer]

That is gorgeous!

Thanks mate. I didn't realise that hardware existed. Been looking for something like that. Good work buddy.

[@Stonemountaingolfajs]

that's absolutely insane. bravo

[@bearkatwood6354]

Turned out great.

[@hubertvachon8723]

Wow great work. I wonder where do you buy the metal parts for your plane ?

[@dpmakestuff]

+Hubert Vachon all the details are in the video description

[@vancecohick8245]

Great build. Do you like the plane blade?

[@dpmakestuff]

I really do. Light honing and its razor sharp. Thanks!

[@Sweepy372]

Great video! Is it hard maple and walnut?

[@Hammy808]

Great Work !

[@MrJCOlson5]

Is that a bevel down kit from lee valley? Would one be worried about just a single block of wood made into a block plane? I prefer that style better. Cheers!

[@Sorcli]

Beautiful job!

[@JGF6237]

Whose plane blade and hardware are you using ? Nice job!!!

[@dpmakestuff]

All the details are in the description.

[@maidayjeen6919]

Beautiful hand work there Dustin. What size blade are you using there Dustin on your band saw? Thanks for GREAT video. Have a wonderful day.

[@dpmakestuff]

Thank you! It is a cheap 3/8's blade that I had to do a lot of tuning on. It is working alright now.

[@johnedwardtaylor]

Enjoyed your video. I just bought the kit. I am just wondering what kind of planing you would use this for? What Stanley number would it be if it were a metal plane?

[@dpmakestuff]

I use it for light planing. It doesn't have a big handle so it might not make a great jack plane. I don't know what number it would be. It's 10" long.

[@shaver5959]

That's beautiful.

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks very much!

[@EagleSlightlyBetter]

absolutely amazing. just awesome. I hope to be able to do this someday.

[@dpmakestuff]

Thank you! Just go for it!

[@dlgWoodWork]

Beautiful plane. I really like how you did the area around the blade. I don't think I have seen that before.

[@saulersimioni1944]

Bem facinho, vou fazer uma já.

[@edwest8017]

Hi Dustin...just watched your video. Your plane has a nice shape. I might do something similar. The Lee Valley/Veritas instructions for this plane kit indicate that it is supposed to be a bevel down design yet you appear to have mounted your blade in a bevel up orientation. Was this intentional? If so, you have a rather steep cutting angle of about 70 degrees. How is this working for you? Have you tried the bevel down orientation, which would give you a 45 degree cutting angle?

[@dpmakestuff]

I assembled the plane incorrectly in the video and it cut terrible. I flipped the blade and it sings! I have plans to redo this video in the near future since I want to build another one. It's a great kit.

[@MikeKapotsy]

Very nice work Dustin. What was the finish used and do you always bake it in with heat gun?

[@dpmakestuff]

It's a great recipe. 2 oz beeswax and 1 cup mineral oil. Heat the oil in a double boiler, break up the wax and melt it completely, let it cool in a container. I use the heat gun to make sure it gets into all the tight spots and it just speeds the absorption up. You don't need to bake it, but it doesn't hurt. 100% food safe too!

[@MikeKapotsy]

Aha, I have done that before for cutting boards. So you store it in a can after it hardens and continue to use it like wax?

[@intheshed9256]

Really nice work

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks!

[@rinaldofaria]

Wonderful job. But, which angle for the blade have you used?

[@dpmakestuff]

Thanks! I'd love to tell you, but I have no idea. It was in the plans but I don't have them anymore.

[@thomasarussellsr]

That is a beauty. Nice job.

Wow, beautiful build

[@spacecat86]

is that a particular blend of paste wax? i was trying to read the hand written label on it but couldnt make it out. Thanks! thumbs up and subscribed.

[@dpmakestuff]

I have a video that goes over how to make it. It's short, you should check it out.

[@spacecat86]

Excellent. Will do

Beautiful

[@bobbykurczewski2362]

Hey Dustin - the blade and hardware, was that part of a kit you picked up? thanks.

[@dpmakestuff]

+Bobby Kurczewski Yes! It came with all the metal parts. You just need to provide the wood.

[@bobbykurczewski2362]

+Dustin Penner awesome! Where did you purchase?

[@dpmakestuff]

+Dustin Penner doh! Sorry, Dustin. Manitoba winters have frozen my brain. Thanks!

[@paullarnce2167]

Ingenious- Where did you get the blade and hardware for the plane?

[@DIYModernTwins]

Love your videos man!

[@MarkSRiddle]

You got my subscription at Illustrator, very good job by the way :D

[@lourencosantiago9779]

Hi Jack! I 'm Lourenço, I'M from Brasil. Yours Videos Are fantastic! I love wood! I' M have studed marchetaria. Your tips thats amazin! hugs

[@commanderdawson3773]

Great job...thanx...

[@738polarbear]

ee Valley recommends the iron as bevel DOWN.I noticed you put it in bevel UP.How does this affect the cutting action.?Typically a bevel up is for a low angle plane but this has a bed of 45 degrees .That means you have a 70 deg cut angle instead of 29 deg .I could be wrong but it shouldnt cut very well..

[@dpmakestuff]

738polarbear You get the hawk eye award. In the video, I installed it with the writing up (bevel up) and it didn't cut very well. After reading the instructions, I flipped it around and was blown away at how good it cut.

[@738polarbear]

Well done Dustin.Nice looking plane.

[@theartofnature7328]

[@dpmakestuff]

+Egilmar Santos Thank you!

[@johnhomer4509]

Where did you get the hardware to make this plane?

[@alyriatutoring5697]

question, how does a plane like this that has several pieces glued and laminated together hold up with weathering/movement? I've been considering making my own Japanese plane body (dai) but to mortise out the correct bedding angle is extremely difficult on a single block of wood. I would much rather make something like this and glue up some sides.

[@dpmakestuff]

Wood glue is amazing stuff. Get the right stuff and you'll have nothing to worry about.

[@sofianebenhadj60]

very very very good job

[@Partiship]

Amazing!

[@JohnLauerGplus]

Love it. You know what would be a great stocking stuffer for your wife to get you? Some more Irwin quick-grips. You just don't seem to have enough of them on hand!

[@dpmakestuff]

Funny you should mention that. I received game gift certificate specifically for more clamps this year! Thank!

[@markjosephfarro8849]

What a beautiful planer 😍 hopefully someday i have my own hand planer like that 😢 what a great job sir two hands up for you 👐 God bless you 😊😊😊

[@coburnlowman]

Would like to see the hardware in real time. Is it a kit or did you make it?

[@dpmakestuff]

Some videos have additional details in the description. This is one of those.

[@artashsargsyan4144]

NIICEE!!!! LIKE100%!!!!

[@VORONM]

Super!

[@Charlesredporsche]

What is your source for the adjustment mechanism?

[@dpmakestuff]

+Charles LaGreca All details are in the video description

[@lexugax]

Beautiful work. I am using your video to create a similar plane for myself. Now, I have a question. I noticed that at about minute 1 you are gluing the sides and the sole to the core. Then at 1:37 you have only the core and the sole and you proceed to mark and cut it. Was the first glue up an error? lol Sorry to bring it out, but if you didn't edit it out I'd guess you didn't care us finding out.

[@dpmakestuff]

Nope, not an error. I needed to have the sides attached to the sole and since they were 4 separate boards, I had to glue everything together before cutting it apart.

[@lexugax]

+Ernest Wong Hi, well there are many types of planes for many different types of jobs, but in general they are used for controlled stock removal and redimensioning to (like in this case) smoothing to shaping. With a smoothing plane you can leave a wood surface smooth and ready for finishing without the need for sanding.

[@MrAnguloA]

Which computer program did you use to draw out the profile?

[@Abi21mac]

Like it. But would like it better if some audio explained.thanks

[@dpmakestuff]

The instructions for the kit were very clear. Thanks

[@dieghosouza6078]

levando em conta o prazer de fazer, blz valew o esforço mas honestamente eu prefiro o comprado em loja, mais pesado, mais seguro

[@richardbutterfoss2353]

Nice project .. may I suggest that you begin your video with a demo of the finished product first ... just a thought ... thanks!

[@dpmakestuff]

Like the video thumbnail?

[@richardbutterfoss2353]

No ... a little performance video in the beginning ... Excellent project!

[@richardbutterfoss2353]

Norm did that in his projects .. keeps the audience tuned in.

[@MrApru1]

Glued the sides on a bit early, huh? Looks nice in the end!

[@dpmakestuff]

Want2Race nope. Needed the base on. Thanks.

[@MrApru1]

@@dpmakestuff you definitely glued both sides and the sole on at 1:30 then shortly after, the sides are gone.

[@dpmakestuff]

Yes. Like I said, I need the base attached. I glue it on and then chopped it off so the sides and the base were attached. If you think about it step by step you'll understand why I did it. If I f'd up I'd admit it... that's not the case here.

[@MrApru1]

@@dpmakestuff did you attach it just to keep the sides flush? I'm a beginner.

[@dpmakestuff]

I wanted contrasting woods and I wanted the sole to made from a single piece of wood. The first batch of glue ups was just to make a wooden blank. Imagine I skipped the blank glue up and just started with a solid piece of wood. The same steps would have to be taken.

[@aggelosxronas4136]

Which program you use??

[@John-qh9qq]

That's slick I'd call it a shoe plane ,cause of the low profile

[@dpmakestuff]

The kit was called a smoothing plane and it certainly does that! Thanks!
