Making a Small Art Frame | Hand Tool Woodworking

[@TheHandToolery]

It’s always so awkward for me to plane with my right hand (which is what I have to do with the rabbet plane), but I feel like I’m getting better!

[@markmckenzie3072]

Brilliant video, good to see another southpaw woodworker. I have success swapping the fence to the opposite side of the rebate plane and using it left handed. You just have to be mindful about your depth as you can't use the depth stop, or the nicker for cross grain rebating.

wow,😁 look at that pile of shavings!

I can't think of any additional praise to give you that isn't already in previous comments. I subscribed.

Muy bien hecho 👏👏😉

[@tompearce6312]

I found another way to continue when the fence on the rebate (I'm from UK :) plane started hitting the bench was to just remove the fence. Once the rebate is a certain depth it seems to guide the plane. Still, if you have a shoulder plane it's probably less hassle just to grab that.

Nice little project. I especially enjoyed the end. When I was a pre-teen in the early 1960s, we moved to Mexico. It didn't take me long to become an enthusiastic Cantinflas fan. A new movie with him in it was always a big deal for me.

[@TheHandToolery]

Oh how cool! I discovered him as an adult. I can imagine it must have been something to grow up anticipating the next film!

[@alberttibbets6567]

As a kid in 1956, we drove in to Boston to see him in "Around the World in Eighty Days."

Will watch it later :) working now ... have a great year mate!

[@TheHandToolery]

Thank you! Definitely watch later if at work 😁

[@clydedecker765]

Ah the joys of watching a left hander use his right hand to make deep rabbets ... Remember, YOU are the only one able to see all the grueling work you put into sanding and re-sanding and smoothing that piece. Its really good without so much finicky sanding. In my opinion. Your work continues to improve and the times to create shorten accordingly.

[@TheHandToolery]

Thank you! Ha you are right. It is a learning curve for me, but still, I wanted it to be good as possible. Cheers and Happy New Year!

[@sandralima759]

Sure are! Thanks for watching!

[@bleedscold]

Nice collection of literature, it was one of my majors in college (other being math), and as a Mexican, props on Cantinflas. Gorgeous frame.

[@TheHandToolery]

Thanks! Actually got my doctorate in literature with a specialization in Latin America! And Cantinflas is 👍

Happy New Year for you and your family!

Gracias! Y Feliz año nuevo a ti también! Ok, so eres de Montevideo tengo que decirte que mi artista musical favorito de todos los tiempos es el inigualable Jorge Drexler. Cabal iba a verlo en vivo en marzo pero se canceló, obvio, por la pandemia. Un saludo, Alfredo!

[@lukelebas6589]

I have the same plane minus the fence attachment. I’m also left handed like you and know the awkwardness of using them since they’re right hand oriented

[@TheHandToolery]

Sure are! We lefties need to demand better! 😂😂

[@andreicharpentierquesada4530]

Looking your video a question have jump from my mind. What do you do with all those shavings? I have big bags of those and all weeks are more

[@TheHandToolery]

I take them to the dump, unfortunately. I don’t have a way to dispose of them otherwise.

[@jasonzvokel6317]

I like the decorative rabbet on the outside.... never thought of that Do they make left handed rabbet planes?

[@TheHandToolery]

Thanks! It’s something I like to do on most of my frames. I wish they made lefty planes. The fences can be moved to the other side but the depth stops can’t.

[@edwardleonard9901]

Than you for all your hand tool videos. I learn a lot from them. Could you please let me know if that rabbet plane has a skewed iron?

[@TheHandToolery]

Thank you for watching! The Stanley 78 does NOT have a skewed iron.

[@edwardleonard9901]

Thanks ! Do you also use it for across the grain rabbets or do you use another one? Or are you fine with it for both. If you use a different one could you suggest/recommend one from Lie-Nielsen or Veritas?

[@TheHandToolery]

@@edwardleonard9901 Hey! I use it for cross-grain, too! It works fine with the nicker, but it doesn't leave a great surface finish. So, I take it close to final dimension and then finish by hand. As far as other brands, I wish I could help more, but I have zero experience with them. Of course, I would love a skewed iron plane, but I don't have one at the moment. That said, I love the Lie-Nielsen look over the Veritas--purely preference for the older/classic style over the very modern Veritas.

[@TortugaDMStudios]

Please make more videos

[@TheHandToolery]

Will do! For now I’ve got over 100 for you to binge!

[@luizgabriel3388]

Andrew, wha'ts your combination square brand?

[@TheHandToolery]

It’s from Home Depot-Swanson. I tested some for square when I bought them, and these were bang on. They don’t hold as tight after about 2 years of use, however. Still I like them.

[@luizgabriel3388]

@@TheHandToolery danmit, here in Brazil they are expensive (R$145, last time I checked). I will try to make a plane and need an accurate one, but so far has nothing been easy. Thanks, and nice art frame!

[@TheHandToolery]

@@luizgabriel3388 Aw, sorry to hear that! If memory serves, I paid $20 (maybe more) for both, and at 5-1 exchange, that's R$100, so that is a bit of a markup for sure! Unfortunately, I've found that to be true a number of times, that products can be marked depending on the market.

Why did he put those thin sticks between the glass and the picture?

[@TheHandToolery]

It sets the picture back so it isn’t directly against the glass.
