*Holy cow* ! This is one hell of a *masterpiece* . All hand crafted - no milling here. You've got every reason to be proud of it.

[@imadethischannel]

Thanks!

[@hefy2jefy]

In these days of CNC machines, its good to see someone that's able to use a file and a hacksaw! - well done!

[@LewHarriman]

A file, a hacksaw, a drillpress and sandpaper... awesome craftsmanship. You are an inspiration!

[@uriel-heavensguardian8949]

FREAKING BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! IVE made a router from wood before. Now that im into metal work, i think im going to give this a shot. Thanks for the inspiration

[@imadethischannel]

Thanks for watching! Try it, it’s pretty straightforward!

[@valentim75]

I am currently in the same challenge as you, because the prices of one router plane can cost 1250 dollars here in Brazil. Yours router pane is incredible. Your work is magnificent. The design is very clean. congratulations . yours router plane is the best home made in the world.

[@imadethischannel]

Wow, thanks!

As a teacher of metalwork I give 10 out of 10 for this project, an excellent demonstration of techniques with an end result to be proud of. Only one small observation, always use a brush, not your fingers to remove metal filings from your workpiece, this will prevent painful metal splinters,

[@imadethischannel]

Haha, thanks!

[@MrSongwriter2]

Does the blueing prevent rust? Or is it purely cosmetic?

[@billsutherland2128]

Great job! I’m going to make two of these with a 10” and a 18” base plate to compliment the Stanley router plane I already own. Thanks for the idea.

[@Victormirandavale]

Bright, real, brilliant, awesome. Don´t ever look back, my friend... And don´t even care about possible negative comments...Because of you, that´s why so many people in this planet became sharp and wise about what they expecting from their futures... providing that they want to follow your steps...as simple as that... And your "excuses" are very welcome, regarding people who don´t know the "how to"...But let´s face it, life it´s only hard for the ones who are soft...regarding my opinion, you are showing me the other way to do the job, and that´s enough for me ...You are a champ, that´s wht you are , and you have all my sincere respects, because I can see a good person , by the way thigs come to "light" as you did...God bless you.

[@imadethischannel]

Wow, thanks, I guess.

[@bekanav]

When bending steel you should warm it properly to at least red hot because steel is fragile in 300-400°C. So don't be a "smith of cold steel". Anyway, nice design and well executed using just basic tools. You know how to use file which is quite rare these days

[@danielburnett8140]

Really easy to make different sizes now. That's not an incredibly hard tool to make but man u are probably the most patient individual I know of. All that filing with hardly any power tools is something u don't see today. Nice work

[@pinview8519]

Beautiful piece of work. Made with skill, knowledge experice, and above all labour of love.

[@michaelmayo3127]

You are very good with a file, very experienced. A tool, ideal for the cabinetmaker and those building furniture with hand-tools. Excellent!!

[@sergecayer942]

One of the nicest DIY router planes I’ve seen to-date ! You could also make a spear-headed cutter to use in it...

As a kid learning woodwork we didn't have routers, they weren't invented just yet, we used these, the grannies tooth plane. They are very effective.

Great hacksaw work, wish mine was as easy as yours looked !!

[@keithwyles5248]

Nice! I made one with a brass body and allen key as a cutter. I tried wood first, but wasn't happy with it, so made a second body using brass. Might pinch your depth stop idea.

[@imadethischannel]

I also experimented with allen keys but couldn't find one that was hard enough. The depth stop isn't really my idea. There are commercial models with the same principle.

[@keithwyles5248]

@@imadethischannel Yes I happen to have a good selection to choose from. Some are very soft.

[@randybartlett3042]

I like it. Based on your hand size, you might like another one (sibling?) with the same cutter size but 50% wider. I have a smaller and a larger one and find myself reaching for the bigger one more often.

[@imadethischannel]

Yes, maybe that will be a future project.

[@telosfd]

In case that i start make this project i will cutting and filing till the next life. I have to say it is wonderful job.

[@jessdemerath]

Excellent job. What size brass stock did you use?

[@imadethischannel]

Thanks! The smaller collar was from 20 by 8mm stock, the larger one was 20 by 15.

[@theabandonedchanel]

Hi great project, looks a great way to build this tool. Can i suggest that you make your central cutter support the same height as the brass block. That way you could set the depth gauge by simply inserting a spacer between the holding block and the depth gauge block while cutter is set flush with the router base, similar to setting the depth of a power router.

[@imadethischannel]

Good idea!

[@mdkooma]

[@the_thunder_child]

[@Im-building-stuff]

I have a question why don't you use adhesive spray for glueing sandpaper on the granite?

Because I find the double sided tape easier to remove when I have to change the sand paper.

[@duncanblack808]

Forgive my ignorance, but what's the difference between having an open vs. closed throat? The way you designed it is absolutely genius, I just don't understand the benefit.

[@imadethischannel]

The closed throat gives more stability if you don’t have much surface are to move the plane on. The open version has better visibility of what you are cutting.
