[@RexKrueger]

Thank you for this build! So informative seeing somone else do it. Great solutions to all the little challenges!

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

Thanks for putting together a great kit. This is a lot of fun probably the most comfortable router I've ever used.

[@What_Other_Hobbies]

Now you need a skewed blade for the corner slot. My suggestion was to cut parallel grooves, one close to each end so you can use the same blade in 3 different positions.

[@mikeking7470]

If your screw a nut onto the thumb screw before you cut it to length the nut will reform the end of the threads when you screw it back off later.

[@lincolndickerson1293]

Rex doesn’t give discounts, he “figures it out”. 😁

[@brendanlangord1687]

Perfect timing on this video. I ordered my router plane from Rex the day he released it to his patrons, and then had to go out of town for 3 1/2 weeks for work. I arrived home today (very long travel day, 33 hours to get home) and was excited to see it was here. I don't think I will work on it today, but I can't wait to get started. Thank you.

Corner router? = Compass router? Drive a pivot into the other end and hey presto! Oh no wait a moment, that would be magic. Drive a pivot into the other end and hocus focus! No still magic, but maybe worth trying. LOL. Love the hag's tooth pun!

[@joeleonetti8976]

On the next episode of Wood By Wright, how to make a skew chisel-like blade from McMaster Carr.

[@AllanMacMillan]

I suppose you could make use of the corner cutter position if you ground a cutter with a matching skew. Rex does sell those separately.

[@darriandorr4228]

Love your videos i am 13 and love woodworking and love rex kruger aswell

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

Congrats on first man!

[@ihavetonsils1]

I love both of your videos, and I really like how you collaborate on videos from time to time😊

[@aaronwarner2762]

$20 says you use that corner attachment in the next 20 years!!! Love it when you youtube folks mention the other youtube folks. Validates my liking/respecting all of you... not that I need validation. Okay, maybe I need validation. Doggone it, I like myself! And it should outlast the next two generations of woodworker.

[@jwydubak9673]

Installing the insert inside the plane and drilling the through hole only for the screw will make it hold much stronger thanks to better support from the wood.

[@nickmastro9287]

Thank you for showing how easy the build was for this router. And thank you and Rex for the discount code!

[@WolfPawArmoury]

Well that's just plane cool!

[@morefiction3264]

Received mine yesterday. Prompt shipping and everything looks great. Can't wait to build it out.

[@jonrost5574]

Love seeing you support Rex. Great video.

[@johnmm]

THe corner one - could, maybe work - the mid point of the blade would need to be at the exact corner of the wood and the angle would need to be right. Would want to test that out on some scraps. Involved, but maybe not impossible.

[@kenny-anjanettehorn7722]

It was great being in the Wood by Wright shop this week and seeing this project!

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

It was great having you here man!

[@philaandrew100]

Nice take on the traditional design.

[@viracocha03]

I bought his plans for his first one that uses a chisel. IT works great.

[@stephenaubuchon2442]

James, This was a great video. Rex has created a great kit! When I saw you making that second location for the iron, I thought it was a good idea until I realized you were putting it in at 45 degrees. If you do it at 90 degrees (parallel to the original, central iron), you could have an offset for working on the ends of pieces, like a when cutting a tenon on the end of a board. Keep it up. I really enjoy your channel!

[@johnmm]

The corner one would work, but not angled. Needs to be parallel to main blade

[@PedroPereira-ut6pp]

Ok Google! I like this video. Cheers James

[@glencrandall7051]

I bought mine about two weeks ago so I missed the discount.😢 Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂

[@theidlehandsworkshop3884]

Love it and the camaraderie you have with Rex !!! Starting a week long vacation and plan to get some things built and binge watching both you and Rex while I do it :)

[@marcbarash6045]

Thanks James, got mine from Rex a few weeks ago.

[@navret1707]

I just bought that kit and thank you for this video. I think I’ll pass on the corner blade for now. I can always add it in later.

[@christopherharrison6724]

I like both of you ,thank you both for all you do.

[@mm9773]

1:20 James, get a few wrenches! Adjustable wrenches are for those in-between sizes, especially large ones. At the beginning I thought I’d keep things old school and bought a vintage King Dick adjustable wrench, but after a lot of awkward fiddling I realised why they make fixed size ones. I’ve always thought it would be expensive to stock up on good quality ones, but you only need 4 or 5 for the common sizes, and they should last a lifetime.

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

I have a full set, but for general use I just prefer one tool.

[@mm9773]

​@@WoodByWrightHowTo Same, but I changed my mind on this. I still use the adjustable one a lot and I like it, but if it’s more than just one bolt, I’ll go looking for the right sized wrench.

[@rustyfreeman9528]

For a quick video, it had just enough bite.😊

[@MCsCreations]

Fantastic work, James! Nicely done! 😃 Yesterday I was asking myself when were you going to make it! 😂 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@ianbracken7973]

If you sharpened the other end on a angle it would work but you would need a scabbard to cover the sharp end. Only you wouldn't be able to hammer adjust the depth. You can also order an extra set of blades sharpen them on an angle & that would work well.

[@Vikingwerk]

Alright, you convinced me. 😂😂😂 Your idea of the second position for the blade would be good if you put it straight, I think it was one of your videos on router planes where a wider router plane can be used on a tenon, with only one side of the plane sole riding on the body of the work, the off center blade would be useful in that situation, and let this small router plane do that (for lack of a better name) flying cut.

[@robertlybarger]

I've just order the set of blades, myself, and partly to experiment with off-center blade placement for tenon cleanup that I believe you're describing, and partly just to support Rex's new venture.

[@Vikingwerk]

@@robertlybarger I ordered the kit, and plan on putting slots at both ends about 1/2” from the ends, in addition to the center one, I’ll have to find another threaded insert, but my local hardware store is the 8th largest Ace hardware in the US, and has *everything* so that should not be a problem. I’m pretty sure Rex would love the idea of his product becoming a test-bed for experimental router plane setups!

[@rustyfreeman9528]

You made that look easy.

[@mm9773]

I think giving people an option to buy just the irons is a great decision. The full kit is quite easy to build, but this design doesn’t allow you to use the plane as a marking gauge, because there’s no sole in front of the iron. Routers make excellent marking gauges because of their wide soles, and if I was to build one, I’d definitely include that in the design.

[@MatthewHarrold]

This was like when Mork went on Happy Days! $0.02

[@davidlynn7161]

Great tool, I need to get one.

[@TheGologozo]

I love how you guys collaborate! Keep it up! 😀

[@darrenj3485]

great channel and I am new to your videos. This is my first video of your channel and enjoy it. I get so frustrated when I see a video on things like "All you to do to make this really simple spice rack is to get your board cut it with your laser miter saw, run it through your planer, bring over to your joiner, put you biscuit cutter to work, throw in some dove tails with the power router, then slap it together. there you have it! a really simple spice rack made with $12 of material and only $10,000 worth of tools!" you know its not that i don't get that tools can be expensive but would be great if i could just make jigs or modifications or even additional tools with the few tools i already have to get the job done. do you have a minimum recommendation to get started that won't break the bank?

[@lincolndickerson1293]

Thinking you could grind the corner to the correct angle fairly easily. Just need a second blade

[@lelandallen]

Awesome!! Glad I haven't bought it yet!

[@johnford7847]

I hesitate to say this and I don't want to cause trouble...but I'd be interested in hearing your opinion of Paul Sellers' router plane vis a vis Compass Rose and a Stanley 271. Just a thought. I like your video, Jim

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

I have it on order. It has been in shipping for a LONG time.

[@AdamAugustPhoto]

I made a Paul Sellers style one when he first released his video series. I didn't end up including the knobs/handles as I preferred it without, but I really like it and use it regularly. It's got a nice low profile. I will be ordering Rex's kit for when the weather warms up here and I can get back into the workshop so hopefully will be able to compare them.

[@timdahl8912]

Cool! Thank you for doing this. :)

[@sanjaraejour9632]

Gotta admit, I expected you to carve designs into it. I really gotta see about picking one up myself, as I don't yet have a router plane. Here's a thought: what if instead of calling this style a hag's tooth, we all started calling it a beaver's tooth router plane?

[@andrewbrimmer1797]

Cool

[@Ababa900]

Love it!

[@alangknowles]

Now make Paul Seller's version. (You could get a skew blade for the side one cutter.)

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

It is on order and has been in shipment for months.

[@RichardBuckman]

Can't you just grind the other iron down so it hits at the angle you wanted?

[@scottswineford6714]

My only question is about comfort. Cutting multiple dadoes I'm wondering about the shape

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

Comfort wise this is probably the most comfortable router plane ever in existence. Feels really good in the hand.

[@jessenunes7602]

👍

[@argentorangeok6224]

Do a Freddy Krueger router plane.

[@brbilheimer]

I can’t be the only one that can in the comments looking for one from Rex

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

Lol not yet.

[@gerardfortin4314]

What would you use the 45 degree for?

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

For getting tight into corners. Or for reaching out farther onto the face of a tenon

Slowly slowly make ay picture rail

[@anonymousaccordionist3326]

Compound angles really aren't your friend, are they James?

[@cornhammer]

Honestly what do you shave nose hair with 🤔

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

Marking knife. Lol

[@cornhammer]

Also I have told you before it’s called a grannies tooth not a roughter. Stop going round about

[@dpmeyer4867]

plane humor, or plain humor......ugh

[@thomasmills3934]

$3 off ...really?

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

Small batch production that's actually a really good discount. I almost never have any discount at all on the physical goods I have as margin is so small on them.
