Making a Plane/Tool Till Part 1

[@stuartansell9461]

Love it! Great job, can't wait till it's done ❤👍🙏

[@karolskakes388]

I'm so waiting for the finished project - it is so exciting!

[@DaveCorinth]

Makes two of us! Lol

[@StealthWoodworks]

Great project Dave. Embrace your inner Studley!

[@DaveCorinth]

It’s amazing what H.O. Studley made, it’s an inspiration to all!

[@devinteske]

You and I have the same problem and I am very excited for this series to continue! Thank you for enabling me to get more tools by showing me how to get them organized

[@DaveCorinth]

The tool organization part will probably be the longest video. I’m not even sure where and or how I’m going to store some of them. It’s going to be fluid!

[@devinteske]

@ I have been giving lots of thought to secret storage - for example, pull drawer A out slightly, push drawer B in past the face frame (only possible when drawer A is open/ajar), then open secret compartment behind plane till

[@Blackys-Boy]

Very very cool!! I'm loving the fact that you are re-purposing the wood from that old piano. I made my wall mounted tool cabinet back in 2008 and it was one of the best moves I ever made. I made it fully enclosed so that I could add a dehumidifier and help deter rust. So far it's worked out great.

[@DaveCorinth]

The dehumidifier is a great idea, I’m going to leave mine open so I’ll still have to wipe tools down. I do it about 4 times a year, and honestly it’s therapeutic! Thanks for watching!

[@bobpetti4841]

It was fun to see you use those tools. What a great project - and a wonderful use for wood that would otherwise be discarded. 10 cents a board foot - oh my!! I can't wait to see the finale!

[@DaveCorinth]

I couldn’t pass up lumber that cheap, and I’m always need wood for something around the shop even junk wood! Thanks for watching.

[@colemine7008]

adjuster knob pulls.... chefs kiss

[@DaveCorinth]

Trying to find a good use for those that can’t be used. Thanks for watching!

[@PeanutsDadForever]

Fabulous job. 🇦🇺👴🏻

[@ivanstiles7030]

I can't wait to see it all finished. I have accumulated a lot of planes and saws and have been thinking about building a till to display them.

[@DaveCorinth]

I built my first till with a minimalist mindset. However I now realize it’s not enough, been planning this one for quite some time. Thanks for watching.

[@Michael49T]

yep, I reuse old furniture parts in my woodworking projects too. It looks great Dave. Glad I found your channel

[@DaveCorinth]

Those are the best parts. It’s hard to find wood of that quality these days! Thanks for watching.

[@devinteske]

7:16 I like that idea! That’s brilliant!

[@DaveCorinth]

Sometimes my handwriting isn’t the best, and when I have a lot of joints I use these old stamps. Sure makes the reassemble part a lot easier.

[@devinteske]

@ I used to use wood burning tips the same way. I figured … letters after all are just symbols

[@colintaylor3044]

I love your videos and getting good ideas, because I have alot of hand tools and need to make a till for my hand planes and saws!

[@DaveCorinth]

I’m gathering more and more all the time, and having this till will keep them somewhat organized and allow easier access to them. Some right now are in drawers and not often easy to find. Thanks for watching and I hope this video gives you some good ideas for your till!

[@FearsomeWarrior]

Four more tills. Love seeing the Studley bench vise at HandWorks. The bench with the vise is with the cabinet. I think they made two or three vises and somehow Benchcrafted guy got ahold of one. Super cool that they haul it to Handworks for us to see.

[@DaveCorinth]

I was at HandWorks and I guessed I missed it. Would have loved to have seen it!

[@devinteske]

4:30 slick depth stop!

[@DaveCorinth]

I’m pretty sure this one is made by Stanley, but is modeled off the Wheeler Patented depth gauge! I often find these with the Wheeler patented countersink!

[@tobiasfrancisco5879]

Can't wait to see how that baby turns out! 😊

[@DaveCorinth]

Me too, not completely sure yet on how it’s going to look when finished. Using the “make it up as you go” approach! Thanks for watching.

[@skippylippy547]

After watching the video and realizing how much work this is going to take, I got exhausted and had to take a nap. 🤣

[@DaveCorinth]

Yup, I understand! I wanna take a nap just thinking about it sometimes! Thanks for watching.

[@skippylippy547]

@@DaveCorinth LOL! This is going to be epic Dave!

[@davidpeters8813]

This is very cool!

[@martingiordano7616]

NICE. That large panel you are not sure if you are using or not could be a door on the other piano hinge to hide your oiling or wax tins.

[@DaveCorinth]

Great idea, I’ve thought about hinging it on top and then lifting it to expose something!

[@rogerhodges7656]

You should make a couple quick attempts to salvage the old finish before it is gone. Try spraying it with alcohol. If the finish is shellac based, alcohol spray be enough to soften it and allow it to come back together. If it is lacquer based, or lacquer thinner. may do the same thing. The resulting finish may not be as smooth as a new finish but, it certainly pays tribute to the old piano.

[@DaveCorinth]

I haven’t totally given up on it, but I’m leaning towards stripping all the pieces. I myself like to old look, but the mahogany used on this piano is amazing, and can’t truly appreciate it with 100 years of buildup. I’ll do some test runs and post those in the next video! Thank you for watching.

[@pointerish]

Hey Dave, who makes your stamps? It looks great.

[@DaveCorinth]

I had that one made by Infinity Stamps. Easy to find online. They were great to work with, and made the stamp in a quick and timely manner!

[@erichelm4339]

I have two Stanley 45 complete sets, One has the original box with an excellent label. But the top has the two splines broken off. Should I make a new top and store the old one, or should I try to repair the old top?

[@DaveCorinth]

If the box is unusable in its current condition I would definitely fix the top trying to make it look as original as possible. I once made a box for a 47 dado plane that didn’t look anything like the original and it turned out great. Used old mahogany and walnut.

[@ericerf6837]

Such dedication in all aspects. Thanks for your postings. I’m in Chicago. Perhaps you have said before but are you comfortable stating where in southern Illinois you are? Thank you.

[@DaveCorinth]

A little town called Thompsonville, I’m about 5 hours south of Chicago!
