Making A Fence For The Ripping Plane

[@gregorypennell1755]

I actually think your fence design “fits” the style of the plane body better than something more ornate. The plane is rather plain…😂. Good job!

[@mikesalmo]

I love when I find a tool and see where an old owner clearly fixed it to just make it work. I’ll sometimes buy them when I totally don’t need them just because it’s interesting. And it kind of hit me one day: that really gives me permission to do the same. I’ll fix a tote missing the top with whatever decent wood is handy. Make the grain direction match but kinda wing it to just be comfy in my hand. I’ll re-sole a wood plane with a contrasting wood like walnut I reclaimed from old broken furniture or whatever. Sometimes a little flair for aesthetics. It’s not like I have European beech or much “real” rosewood lying around, and the latter I’d save for something special. I’m really following that tradition of “making it work” and adding my contribution to the tool’s organic history. Maybe one day someone will find my imperfect work cool like I do.

[@robertberger8642]

I’m looking forward to seeing how it works. I was a little surprised that you didn’t do your typical Celtic-inspired carving on its upper face.

[@iainmcculloch5807]

Plane fence you say? En guarde! Hmm, foiled again!

[@XyerDark]

I always like the intricate moulding for some fences but at the end of the day practicality is more important and this fence goes well with the plane itself.

[@AllanMacMillan]

I thought about leaving a comment, but I was on the fence until now.

[@cheryldawkins7486]

I love how excited you get when you are making something. I enjoy your dad jokes too!

[@likeiam6610]

Yo Yo!!! I'M NOT KIDDING!! If you had some of these in the store, you'd sell out. Take a regular brown paper lunch bag and have them printed with your logo. They would be to have on hand when you give your riddle or joke at the end of the video. Perhaps the bag could come with a sheet of directions much like the instructions for using the bag that drops down from the ceiling when an airplane experiences turbulence. The "WW-BB" Wood by Wright Barf Bag. Instant collectable! Again, not kidding.

[@johnkelley9877]

I think it looks good and the function is more important than the look of the fence. Thanks for sharing this.

[@MCsCreations]

Fantastic work, James! It turned out great! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@michaelballinger6419]

That is amazing, can't wait to see it in action!

[@dougdavidson175]

CDB. Thank you James. Take care & stay safe.

[@leemarzahl8891]

Another very cool build, James!

[@TheDistur]

Oooh new tool! It looks tidy and functional what more could one want.

[@ianpearse4480]

I need to use that on my abs, then I will be truly ripped! LOL.

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

nice one and congrats on first!

[@kennethnielsen3864]

Thanks for keeping it simple, I personally don't like all the strange designs from yesteryear. Thanks for sharing.

[@randybecker7339]

I love where I live, but sometimes I wish I lived in your neck of the woods so I could go to those tool meets and maybe stumble across these types of cool tools. Alas, Nevada doesn't seem to have any places or events where such a thing could be found. Nice fence by the way!

[@Kijiji-ny7qh]

That antique DeWalt drill (the yellow one...hehehe) wobbles like there is no tomorrow.

[@samwise098]

I believe that if the original had been nice and plane looking James would have made his really fancy!

[@marcbarash6045]

Thanks James

[@DraganIlich-r1s]

Thank you Sir.🎉

[@johnford7847]

Good video, and an interesting tool. Are fruitwoods harder than mahogany? I know apple and pear were used to make scientific equipment in the 18th and early 19th century, but I read that that was because they were pretty stable fine-grained woods. If you're concerned, why not add a brass wear strip? Thanks for sharing.

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

It is a bit softer. If this was a tool I planned to use often a wear strip might be useful.

[@hassanal-mosawi4235]

Thanks for sharing that!

[@warrenmunn3224]

Well this video should be fenced in!

[@bogdanaasarbu8038]

The iron is like a circular saw???? How does it work? I had never seen a plane like this.

[@MrMNRichardWright]

The great French of Wright

[@J.A.Smith2397]

Just when I thought I'd seen it all... tks

[@GavinNatur]

Yay you did it

[@hubrigant]

When you make an accessory like this, do you put your name or touchmark on it like the makers of the historical tools did?

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

If there's an appropriate place yes.

[@thomasarussellsr]

Rio off or not, that would be a valuable tool for those doing Japanese caneing work, I dont remember the name right off. But its where they use smal thin bits of wood, on edge, to build complex patterns for furniture and boxes. Where the ends are champhered to fit together perfectly, with or without glue, to make strong panels. Ive seen three to eight pices lock together inside other geometric shapes in this style, and its beautiful when the angles (bevels/chamfers) almost disapear at the junctures. This plane would be great for ripping the long thin stock pieces used to cut into the smaller bits.❤

[@PyroForge]

Kumiko is the name you're looking for.

[@jons2447]

Hello, Mr. Wright; You said "apply some paste wax". At that point I realized I have TWO kinds of "paste wax", soft & hard. So which "paste wax" did you use? I'm using organic flax seed oil, "food safe" (supplement), no 'dryers'. I hope you'll clarify, "THANK YOU!" in advance for your kind assistance.

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

I generally use a softer paste wax. here is my video on making it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/apycnn2qq9aDb5Y

[@jons2447]

@@WoodByWrightHowTo Thank you, SIR! I have both your soft & hard waxes, which is why I asked. Have a GREAT day, Neighbor!

[@glencrandall7051]

Well done.🙂🙂

[@paco_vazquez]

Tools!!! More tools!! 😂😂😂

[@kencarlile1212]

Am I wrong in in thinking that this was the mystery tool you referenced in a video a few weeks ago?

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

that is the one!

[@tommoeller7149]

Cool!

[@dpmeyer4867]

cool

[@arsenicjones9125]

Flat head screws are offensive better that it’s Phillips

[@ruairiallen3354]

Snide remarks =)

[@ralhmcc47]

WW, Hate to ask but you have done the leg work but could you send me the Patent numbers for this? thank you As usual a very interesting and informational video Ralph

I'm guessing Luke lives too far away from where you moved and can't film anymore? But I kind of like you using tripod shots. It reminds me of your original videos

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

my wife quit her job so we had to cut back on expenses. unfortunately that meant Luke too.

[@aflyfishr]

Phillips head screws? come on man!

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

only the best

[@tomarmstrong1000]

This is such a ripping video

[@jul371-y5p]

good video but that bit at 6:08 is bent that make oval shape holes instead of circular, and can cause the drill to catch and you could get a kickback on your wrist, be carefeful!!

[@buckmcfarland6638]

Slotted screws would have been more period accurate compared to Phillips.

[@Keithmwalton]

When you say 100 year old mahogany do you mean the tree lived for 100 years of the lumber was milled 100 years ago? Sorry I’m autistic and very literal.

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

The tree was cut down over 100 years ago.

[@kent5400]

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

so close. but you did get second!

[@Fusion_Woodworking]

What a ripoff.😂 Also that’ll set things straight.
