5:23 is this the scrapwood bucket?

It is! :)@@cnikkor

Hey. i found your channel yesterday, and i'm so impressed. I look forward to binge watching everything I've missed, and trying to make a thing or two myself. For peeps like me, who have nothing but time on their hands, channels like this are pure gold. Thank you for sharing your creations on KZbin 👍

[@southernblueblood5402]

This video proves why you're one of my favorite creators on KZbin. You have all the big boy toys but you take the time to demonstrate that it can be done with common hand tools. Plus your videos are absolutely amazing, why I've been a subscriber for many years now. Cheers

[@ZeedijkMike]

This is the cutest wood working tools I have ever seen. The flat bottomed one could also be used for sharpening your pencil. Great "little" project.

[@PaskMakes]

Thank you very much! Glad you like them Mike! :)

[@dannyberg4294]

I love that you have consistently gone out of your way (literally doing projects twice) just to show that basic hand tools will do the job. I think if more content creators did that it would inspire even more makers who otherwise would think they can’t afford to make things

[@crunchysteve]

I'm in awe of the craftsmanship here! Jedi Master grade metalwork!!! A small set of these is on my shopping list and they're affordable enough, so I'm not about to make my own, but watching you make them has inspired me to high standards in the work I want finger planes for. Absolutely loved this vid!!!

[@_spacegoat_]

There's something almost magical about a craftsman making his own tools. Also, I really like the diversity of projects you do here, everything from restorations to creations in metal and wood, and all of them well-made and interesting to watch. Excellent channel, Mr Pask!

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much - glad you enjoy my tinkerings! I also agree that tool making is magical, it's why I enjoy it so much! :)

You're absolutely right that you don't need fancy equipment to make things. People get too hung up on that, but all they really do is make it easier and faster, not any more possible. Also, I love this method of doing ad spots because it's not taking you out of the video. Bob who likes to make stuff does his ads that way, too.

[@fdort3971]

Of course you know how to make your own tools... Those are the cutest lil planers I've ever seen!

[@MegaDoug1979]

Of all the maker channels I've watched over the years I don't know how yours flew under my radar for so long. Fantastic work as usual.

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much Doug - Glad you enjoying the channel! :)

[@counselrun]

One of the things I love about your videos is that always show how it can be done with simple hand tools. It is clear you are still thinking of beginner makers.

[@TalRohan]

I remember my dad using some tiny planes like that when he made a guitar, he used them for evening out the sound boards and made some incredibly fine cuts with them. Very cool little tools and great to watch the build, thanksyou for sharing.

[@davidsnyder2000]

Great project/video. On a side note, the wife started a KZbin channel 6 months ago. I never realized how much goes into you making your videos. All the money you spend on cameras, computers, editing software, time filming, time editing and uploading, responding to comments, etc…I appreciate all your hard work across the board👍 You must spend a great deal of time doing this. My wife spends over 8hrs just to create a 30min video. Plus we just had to spend another couple thousand dollars to upgrade her computer because her old one kept locking up…couldn’t handle all the data. I don’t know what you have invested in your equipment but I’m sure it isn’t cheap. Thank you again for a great video my friend 👍🙂 I have a new appreciation for what you do.

[@CeeJayThe13th]

Your attention to detail and your determination are unmatched. I love it.

[@sdoitla1431]

The indexing pin on the belt grinder is great. I will definitely be using that idea in the future. Awesome tool builds. I especially like that you showed doing both hand and power tools for this project.

[@GRichardWrotten]

Between you and Izzy Swan I have learned so, so much about jigging, but that thing you did for the finger holds on the belt sander is absolutely the smartest bit of jigging I have ever seen. I can’t wait to find a reason to use it in one of my projects.

[@ruthruru1121]

I love your videos. I learned so much from you. I have learned how to use hand tools. I’m just a small woman, working in a office. I build things for my self in my living room on a portable workbench - always making ab big mess. I have some power tools like a router (still affraid to use it to it’s full potential) and a small hand circular saw. Staff of lokal hard ware stores support my hobby by precutting materials to weird dimensions they usually not do for customers. I have not build anything realy good or mentionable but i hope i will be able to in the future. Thanks so much for your inspiring videos.

[@TomKas66]

Your skill, technique, and quality never cease to amaze me. Back in the Middle Ages, you would have been The King's Maker. Good on ya for sharing your skills with us all over the world!

[@jasonrobinson9524]

Your projects never cease to amaze me. Well done, Neil.

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much Jason - Glad you enjoy them! :)

[@PurpleKangaroo4]

can i just say, that is the best ad integration i've seen from a youtuber yet. you didnt interrupt the video and make me want to skip the ad to get back to what i was watching, you kept the footage going, kept it short and sweet, and got right back to it. well done. i wish thats how all sponsored segments would be so i dont feel bad about skipping the ads and pissibly costing the ad rev for creators i like to watch

[@BuffaloBillsSon]

Thank you! Got my Marker Knife in the post very quickly thank you love it

[@PaskMakes]

Awesome - Glad you like it and thank you for the support! :)

[@codelicious6590]

Fantastic! Useful and inspirational! I use my old worn out recip blades to make marking knives and such as well- a shame to just throw out such good steel.

[@quietspacearts]

i love that you show your mistakes and learn by them and give solutions, great job, thankyou for being authentic

[@byOldHand]

Neil thank you, I had great time while watching as always. Both of them seems very good. Happy new year.

[@ianvicedomini2648]

I've seen some amazing builds over the years on your channel Neil and they never fail to amaze me no matter how many times I watch them. Absolutely wonderful little planes mate.

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much Ian - glad you're still enjoying the channel and my little projects! :)

[@_J.F_]

Wonderful little tools, and so beautifully made too. I bought a wooden one a few years back, made from ebony I believe, and I only bought it for fun but was amazed at how useful it actually is. Doesn't take up much room either 😆

[@Vickie-Bligh]

I can't say enough how much I enjoy watching you create. This was really fun, Neil. Thanks for sharing your shop, skills, talents, and abilities as well as your encouragement with us all.

[@SparrowStockwell]

They are charming and pretty planes! And they work great!

[@Tanuki.Express]

Those punches do look pretty slick. Beautiful finger planes, love the passion. Another solid build, Pask.

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much - the punches really are something special. :)

[@johnmorgan9617]

I love that you show the mishaps, and how it doesn't stop your progress towards completion. A (usually better than) satisfactory solution is always achieved. Gives all of us the courage to have a go, and not give up 😊

[@Billy_Dino]

Made my first finger plane with an old nicholson file and I use it way more than could imagine... they're just lovely perfect for chamfers at almost any size project

[@nelsondog100]

This link take you to a video that I found is the very best knife/tool sharpening demonstration/explanation I have ever seen. It’s informative I just had to share it. (I’m not affiliated with the channel)

[@guitfidle]

Ooooooo!!! I have GOT to try making these! Great video, thanks for sharing!

[@NEZOMBE]

A great planer and irreplaceable in violin making😃

[@mpschigoda1677]

I'm sure it's been said before, but thank you for doing it "the hard way." Proving that us "mere morals" can do it without a massive investment in tools

[@TheLoveDoctor989]

Looking forward to the guitar build Neil! I've just started a cigar-box style guitar myself, and I agree, luthiering is hard! Looking forward to see where the mini plane comes in, but i have a hunch 👌

[@PaskMakes]

The guitar build is going to be tricky and I'm probably biting off more than I can chew. I'm really looking forward to it though! :)

[@rootvalue]

Neil, if you haven’t already discovered Ken Parker’s Archtoppery KZbin series, he’s posting free videos of his expertise (that he should frankly be charging for), and they cover every part of his legendary hollow body building process, from making custom tools to his wild machine setups for his intricate builds. Love how your planes turned out and can’t wait to see them put to use. They are 100% missing a maker’s mark! 🥰

[@davidrowe9168]

Really enjoyed. The end card reminded me how much I loved scrap wood challenge

[@williamellis8993]

Fantastic, Neil. Well done. Bill

[@bgpappy30]

I totally love these plans! Thank you sir for sharing and for your time! I will try to make one of these as soon as I find some brass that’ll work. I cannot wait for your next project… one love!

[@phooesnax]

Nice work. I said to my self at beginning ‘here comes a guitar!’ Looking forward to that.

[@ronnieahman6958]

The small planes looks absolutely awesome, and they work extremely well. Good job Master builder

[@Shae_Sandybanks]

I've never seen such things! They're so cute!

[@johnelwer3633]

8:55 is that weather stripping? Brilliant.

[@PaskMakes]

Sticky backed foam board. It worked very well but doesn't last long. :)

[@pelculator]

“Good enough” you say… dude… they are AMAZING!!!

[@brucemitchell5637]

Always a pleasant surprise to see a Pask Makes video appear in my KZbin feed!

[@alanmuddypaws3865]

Oh dear! I can feel another plane build coming on. Thanks for an absolute masterclass in tool making, and being such an inspiration.

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much Alan - glad the video inspired you! :)

[@rhoula]

Unbelievable skills. Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Thank you so much for taking the time to share.

[@sandiotoole4295]

Miniatures are the best! They make my heart soar! Great job Neil!

[@davidbales8053]

Always beautiful work, love the silver solder build for us non-machinists.

[@DugMcClure]

Yeah, I’ll have a set of those too!

[@jonathan2585]

That's a awesome little plane... rocking cradle plane good job Neil as always

[@zelousfoxtrot3390]

"Oh, why would anyone bother with such a fiddly thing?" As I work on fill embroidery for a 6" boarder on a King size quilt. I'll never make one of yours, but they sure are pretty.

[@mandyleeson1]

🌟🥇👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼Brilliant, Neil.

[@hder8740]

Love them! They look like a pair of trainers for a very small person. Like that you made one with hand tools. Kind regards.

[@eggster71]

Those are stunning! Unsurprisingly of course.

[@knot-e-knuff575]

Cool project! Very Alton Brown-I could buy one but it’s fun to make…

[@riccardo-964]

Great job, yet again. Cool project.

[@AndrewR74]

Damn! Nice work sir. Thank you

[@carlosc.8707]

Every video you make you surprise me with your mastery, I admire your patience and wisdom to work on that scale¡¡¡¡¡¡👏👏👌👍

[@serefine927]

They are so small and cute!!! Really want one now ahhh :D

[@serefine927]

I think I wanna try making one when I have access to a workbench again. Im moving soon and maybe my new area has a reachable makersspace !!! . If not I should get a vice as this is basically the only tool that I am missing to recreate it .

[@wadewyss5714]

Amazing as always

[@aserta]

The adjustment screws can easily be made in even something like a hand drill (put the hand drill on the edge of a table and keep it down with your non dominant hand allowing you to use a file or an angle grinder to shape the head). The knurling can be made using using a bastard file. Put the file on a table's edge, clamped down or glued with double face tape, and then pressing with your hand on the chuck of the drill, roll the screw on the bastard file's face (no power, just by hand) until the finish is to your liking. DO NOT lift the screw until you've achieved the finish you want. if you do, you'll mess it up.

Beautiful work, Neil! They look and work amazingly! Really well done!!! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@marca5883]

They're awesome💚🇬🇧🌱 I'm going to make some Ali ones today...👍

[@woodworkingandepoxy643]

That's freaking adorable

[@chetleonard169]

Excited to see what you will make with them

[@699hazard]

Great build Neil! Looking forward to the guitar build. I'd be too scared I'd lose them.

[@christiansethi938]

Absolutely amazing craftsmanship as usual 👌

[@MASI_forging]

Nice work as always 👏👏

[@jimbartley9125]

Nice. Cheers. Jim

[@johnsrabe]

14:30 please forgive me if this is asked and answered: what keeps the blade from flying off the surface grinder? (Plane sailing!)

[@plainnpretty]

Beautiful planes very nice job you done on them thanks

[@TheMortenjohansen]

No matter what you make, your videos are always a delight

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much Morten! :)

[@Vikingwerk]

Beautiful craftsmanship!

[@carlbielawski5034]

Beautiful

[@RFMongoose]

The lever cap screws: I've seen people do lots of hand shaping on the drill press for sure. As for the hobbing that you did, that can be done by hand with needle files and patience, and I'm under the impression that irregular patterns have greater grip on the fingers.

[@mrclaus859]

Thanks Pask

[@toblexson5020]

Ooh, a carve-top is in the planning then? Or maybe even an archtop acoustic? Although after watching you make a kayak, I sorta want to see a lute/bowl-back guitar build.

[@paulkinzer7661]

It's so rewarding to watch someone with such skill make the beautiful things you do. It just fills a spot in me that would love to be able to stuff like this myself, knows that I might be able to with loads of time and patience, but now don't have to. 😁 I can be satisfied with the things I already have the skills and tools to make, which today starts with the worst job of all: cleaning my work space. Yuck!

[@northeastrc2725]

They have the fizz factor

[@robertberger8642]

Nice! As always.

[@dnngskn62]

dedication personified.

[@chenderson5490]

Another great video! Excited to hear you’re making another guitar but it does remind me of how you were robbed on the Guitar build off. Such amazing work and your first time to boot. You’re an artist!

[@Gus0046]

Como siempre excelente te trabajo. Eres un artista! 👏👏😉

[@AB-C1]

Very nice

[@kendicapimda1888]

Bu sanatı izleme fırsatı verdiğin için teşekkürler 😊

[@Zogg1281]

All 3 of those plains look amazing, and I know that the aluminium one is just a prototype, but the brass ones polished up like that are sooooooo beautiful! If you did a bit more polishing on that aluminium one, it would also look amazing. You then have either a display item or a potential Patreon prize (sadly I'm not a Patreon member of the channel, so I'm not hoping to win it, although I'd be thrilled if I did win in ..... which I can't...... OK getting dizzy now! 😂).

[@d.k.1394]

These are great for making match stix

[@zzota]

Amazing skills, I'm so impressed.

[@mackellmo1083]
