How To Make A Wooden Scrub Plane

[@musamor75]

This was a very enjoyable journey. Loved every minute of it. Just ONE suggestion, if I may: When morticing in the tote (handle) you could have haunched it all round- just like a tenon. Funnily enough, this gives it even more strength. But hey, it's always easy to criticise after the mounting. I rally appreciated how you used hand tools throughout. That's a mean looking tenon saw! You can now boast that somebody said you have a fantastic sole! (probably soul too). Full marks fro this one. Greetings from France

[@marksexton1340]

Damn.... You make this look easy. I tried to make a set of tongue and groove plans once, learned real quick, that accuracy matters. You have peaked my interest here, I may try this...

Recently decided to give actual effort to woodcraft and I’m so glad to find this channel. Perfect information for someone like me that wants to make awesome stuff without breaking the bank buying power tools. Planning on starting my first project coffee table this weekend

Beautiful piece, glad to see a lovely piece of ash get put to a use that'll last centuries. Fingers crossed the Ash die off doesn't get them all.

You accomplished two thing in one project, you made a functioning scrub plane and a work of art. This is jut a great tutorial. Thanks for sharing this.

[@yotamgosh]

I really enjoyed this build! I usually find plane builds very stressful, foe all their accuracy and low tolerances and whatnot - and you just have a knack for making things feel more easygoing and fun:) Good stuff!

And I been wanting some floats for yrs, what's a great value brand like my Richter chisels you talked me into?? I got an old car body bonda file like float with full width deep curved teeth that removes a ton quickly and with that beautiful planed look and feel but need smaller/ thinner ones for details and if I find a good enough piece of beech a jointer plane hopefully!!! You are the reason I built a rack like yours for my files. Me and the well technician was talking n he's the only other woodworker that said we both grew up seeing files in the drawer with all the other metal tools and for fine woodworking ya really gotta keep separate and sharp!!! Tks for what ya do

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

When it comes to files brand does not matter as much, just find the pattern and size you want. But when it comes to floats there are only a couple companies that make them and they are expensive! I use the ones from Red Rose Reproduction.

[@J.A.Smith2397]

@@WoodByWrightHowTo tks for your info!

[@michaelmorris1865]

You can make floats from O1 steel. Need yourself a hacksaw and any file you'd use to sharpen your saws will work for the teeth. You can use it without heat treating or oil quench at cherry red, and anneal it at at 400F for 20-30 minutes in your oven and let it cool in there overnight. Edit they may not be as nice as an higher end float, but they do get the job done.

[@kylejohnson4662]

I have an old Stanley no. 5 that turned into a scrub plane. It was actually a really good plane with one exception: the contact points for the frog. A previous owner had tried to flatten those points and made an absolute mess. If I tried to use the plane for flattening, it would chatter like a playing card in bike spokes. It really makes me sad.

[@donesry2902]

Very nice work. I’m making my second plane now actually. I didn’t chop the middle out, I cut the sides off and then cut the opening and then glue the sides back on. The plane I’m making now has a higher angle (52degrees) as I’m hoping for zero tear out on curly maple. I like your chopping out technique but how do you keep it from blowing out? That would be a crazy maker to have tear out on the flat surface. Anyway, I admire your work and thanks for sharing with us.

[@robertberger8642]

Great plane, great video! Question: why did you choose to use a handsaw instead of your big frame saw for the long rip cut? Thanks!

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

The Two saws cut about the same speed. And for the relatively small cut there it was faster and easier just to pull out the hand saw cut it.

[@jons2447]

"THANK YOU!", Mr. Wright! Beautiful! BTW, did I miss the link to the diamond sharpeners? Have a GREAT day, Neighbor!

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

I generally don't link to tools that I use. But here they are. I'm having fun testing them out. zenwutoolworks.com/products/diamond-sharpening-set

[@pileghoff4923]

Why is the cross pin that high up? Wouldn't you want it close to the mouth to clamp down harder closer the actual cut?

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

For a normal bench plane there is best, but for a scrub with chips that large you want it back more for clearance.

[@BakerVS]

Very nice work! To me it seems closer to a foreplane than a scrub though. For me (in Europe), a scrub is about 9.5 inches long with an about 1.3 inch wide blade with extreme camber (radius maybe 2-3 inches). They're very lightweight, and the blade is just in front of the centre of the sole. Yours looks to be more in the English tradition: I'm guessing it's about 14" long, about 2" blade (way towards the front of the sole), heavier, and with a big handle instead of a horn. (I'm being a bit pedantic, I know... In theory anything with a big mouth and cambered iron can be called a scrub plane, but there are also traditions associated with certain names).

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

There are a lot of arguments between those two. Which is which. I chose to call it a scrub plane for search reasons. It's always fun when it comes to names as different traditions, locations, languages can change everything. In one area you will see a specific name set. And then in another you'll see exactly the opposite.

[@anthonyseiver7000]

What was the sole wood? I couldn't make it out in the commentary, the transcript called it Cadillacs

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

Katalox

[@namewithoutdigits]

That katalox of wood!

[@jerbear7952]

If you don't have Katalox you can use any wood you want. Just get under your neighbors car and borrow one of their Katalox converters. From that point it's pretty self explanatory.

[@gregorypennell1755]

So far I’ve made a wooden router plane, and a simple fixed depth grooving plane (for box bottoms). I have a few slabs of 3 1/2” thick black walnut that may become a set of wooden jack, jointer, and smoothing planes. What do you think of Taytools replacement blades and cap irons for making homemade planes?

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

They are ok. If you want to check it out I did an iron test a while ago so you can see how the different plane irons compare.

[@gregorypennell1755]

@@WoodByWrightHowTo Thanks, I’ll check out that video…I’m assuming spreadsheets are involved? 😂

[@Karpe_Deem]

I must ask, do you suggest relieve the bottom of the plane like Japanese 'Dai's? In other words the 2 or 3 point contact?

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

For wooden body smoothing planes it can't have a slight benefit. But for a rough scrub or a Jack plane there really is no benefit to doing that.

[@JacobPaul123]

How much scrubin, could a wood scrub scrub if a wood scrub could scrub wood?

[@ucdbikebuilder]

Great video! I had a quick question. With the Tried and True oil, I noticed you using a glove. I was under the impression that their polymerized linseed oil didn’t have any additives and should be safe on your skin. Just wondering if I was incorrect? Thanks!

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

You are correct. I am experimenting with different oils at the moment so I'm taking a bit more precaution than I probably need to.

[@mathquir190]

Just a random question. Are these hand drills really worth buying one ? I can find one pretty cheap around and was like... nehh got my electric drill... but... It really could get more precise and more torque I guess and I hate noise.

[@mathquir190]

I'll probably gives it a try to make this too. I like wooden planes... Lighter. Back problems but love using planes.

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

The brace dose not give any more precision. It can give more torque, but it is mostly used for the fun of hand tools.

[@Praxaeus]

James, how do offset totes on wooden planes get calculated?

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

I am not sure what calculation you are asking about. if you want to offset the tote you just move it to the side the amount you feel is good.

[@PeteLewisWoodwork]

[@kennethbezanson4266]

Scrub a dub dub, don't bring it on the tub!

[@jerbear7952]

Putting it in the tub really helps to get a good positive lock on that blade. Sucker will never come out after a nice soak. Don't forget the Epsom salts. Not for the plane, for you, you deserve it. :)

You should wear gloves with epoxy. It can sensitize your skin eventually to the point you won't be able to use epoxy anymore. The plane looks nice.
