Making a router plane

[@trusch316]

This is by far the best diy design I've seen in terms of cost, construction, and use. I will definitely be trying this!

[@raphaelklaussen1951]

From an engineering and stability point of view, yours is the best design of a DIY router plane I have seen on KZbin. Congratulations. The key to the success of your design is the substantial extension of the sole ahead of the cutter, something people tend to overlook - without that big sole extending forward it would be unstable and prone to tipping forward. You don't need to add anything to stabilize it further. By the way, don't tell anyone, but your design is way superior to Paul Seller's :)

Great re-use of plane knobs... one of mine became a handle for a coffee tamper; I like using it every morning.

[@madhuhs348]

This is the simplest way of making a router plane I've seen!! The entire making was exceptional. Thank you for sharing!!

[@soofihasan]

Exceptional... great design and far more practical than some others. I intend to build mine and will take the lead from you. I wish you had not used epoxy on the thread, rather had put in a nut to reuse the knobs, but thats just me. Fantastic job and much appreciate the helpful tips especially on chisel length

[@marshwood6945]

Once again I’ll say - well done. Original design and build, resulted in a cool and functional tool.

[@GillisBjork]

Thank you very much!!

[@From.a.land.downunder]

What a fantastic design. I've been planning to build myself a router plane and this is the perfect one for my current skill level. I really like the way you talked us through the process and design decisions.

[@Richard-wk9le]

Great design I especially like the wedge for holding the blade adjustment.

[@williamlott7612]

Great job. I can see me making something similar. Darlington, South Carolina USA

[@cccxxxxxx]

Very nice build, I am inspired to make one. As for the screws I like them, if you swapped them out with slotted head wood screws, it would look a hundred years old. Perhaps even brass, nice job.

[@sheslop888]

Very nice! I like the hand tool work. I've been thinking of building some sort of simple plough plane. This video is some good inspiration.

[@lafamillecarrington]

Couldn't you cut a few centimeters off the top to give you a deeper cut?

[@BertilAdania]

Bra gjort, grabben!

[@jessetwidale6939]

Very nice job! It was fun to watch and I am looking forward to trying to adapt your design and build it for my needs!!

[@bennyhill3642]

Awesome vid thank you😇😁

[@hassanal-mosawi6049]

Thanks for sharing that

[@GillisBjork]

Ya welcome

[@chiparmstrong842]

Very nicely done. Appreciate your usage of hand tools.

[@GillisBjork]

Thanks!

[@chrisharrell5945]

Awesome man, turned out nice.

[@user-fafa720]

wow.......so so so wonderful aaaaa........

[@WoodnMetalShoppe]

Nice job. What angle is the block that holds the chisel blade? Or what angle is the chisel set to?

[@GillisBjork]

Thanks! 45 if I recall correctly, on the steep side for a router plane but I like how it cuts

[@WoodnMetalShoppe]

@@GillisBjork Thanks.

[@augusthermann5111]

Bra ide. Hälsningar till Göteborg👏

[@analogoutdoors]

Great idea!! I know this is an older video, so you may not see this, but..... I know your shop is not heated in winter, and was wondering what you do with your water stones in the winter to keep them from freezing and busting. Thanks.

[@joerosburns5639]

Well done

[@pemtax557]

The concept and design are outstanding. Definitely old school and well implemented. I have to be honest though ... it is clear that your talent and experience is quite advanced, however, a bit more time expended and a better choice of materials for the base and blade cover could of made a tool that would be as stunning in appearance as it is in function. I'm certain with your abilities, it would of been a piece of art. I really enjoyed the video and love watching you work with all manual hand tools, it was a real treat!! Cheers!!

[@markgoode4109]

You made a great tool here; a simple, but very effective design. I'm sure it will be a pleasure to use this new tool in your workshop. Thanks for sharing your ideas and skills. Best wishes.

[@petrsidlo7614]

I have the same calipers inherited from my grandfather. I had no idea they were shipped to countries west of us :)

[@michaelruggieri3127]

Can you make a croze plane for wooden buckets ?

[@JeanClaudePeeters]

fine tools in Germany sells the blades

[@MashMonster69]

Nice plane. I made 1 similar after seeing Paul Sellers 20 hour build. What brand is your miter gage? That twin beam is something I'm looking for. Thanks in advance

[@GillisBjork]

Hmm, is that the protractor you mean? It's from Shinwa, but it's not double beam. If you mean the marking gauge, it's Veritas.

[@michaelmounteney2034]

Why do you need such a large hole in the base-plate? Is it just so you can see what the router is cutting? It seems to me you'd want it as small as possible, for strength and stability.

[@GillisBjork]

Yes, I want to see the cut, and I don't think it needs any more strength

[@From.a.land.downunder]

You're 100% spot on. Having a clear view of the contact point between the blade and work surface greatly improves accuracy and ease of use. You can always add reinforcement if strength of the tool is a concern.
