Making a Stanley 101 plane with a Tote & Knob

[@adamkoontz2914]

I thought I’d seen it all and now I see this. Super impressive work sir. I’m already into WW/ WW tool collecting, please stop making me want to go down the machining rabbit hole.

[@DaveCorinth]

Rabbit holes can be fun , especially when there are tools involved…..

[@ivanstiles7030]

Those little planes are awesome Dave! Nicely done brother.

[@SeanSchade]

This has been an excellent series. I hope you make more planes!

[@DaveCorinth]

I’ll make planes until someone tells me to stop…..

[@Rumrunner009]

Wow!! That's Soo cool!! I'll definitely be repurposing those old el-cheapo hand planes I have rusting away.

[@philippboetcher9959]

I was really impressed by your finishing and polishing techniques, I could definitely improve on that!

[@maxdisbrow977]

Sweet planes! Beautifully done. Thank you for sharing.

[@raheslop]

Looks a fun little project, I’ve got a 101 that’s been modified in the past with a crude tote so this could be the perfect side project to distract me from what I’m supposed to be doing!

[@DaveCorinth]

That’s how I got started making these little things, getting distracted that is.

[@raheslop]

I’ve got got a collection of old planes that keep distracting me!

[@tobiasfrancisco5879]

Dang, you are creative 👍🏼

[@DaveCorinth]

Thank you very much!!!!

[@robertmceuen3630]

Beautiful work! Wonderful little planes. A must for any handtool user.

[@gregorypennell1755]

Wow! I just found your channel, and that sure is some impressive work!

[@DaveCorinth]

Thank you for watching, lots more to come as well…

[@robfreddi2712]

Love your work Sir.

[@DaveCorinth]

I thank you for watching and the compliment.

[@rolandharrison5651]

I thank for a well done instructional video. I found it very informative and entertaining. I think I might give it a try.

[@ga5743]

Excellent video editing and voice……oh and nice job making those beautiful planes 😀👍

[@JonLaughton]

Great job. Beautiful little things... to use, or just to put on display.

[@anthonyvincent5892]

Well done! I would use these in a minute on my guitar construction. Keep it up.

[@dfu1685]

I very much enjoyed watching your video because Your commentary, narration and thorough description of the steps for the viewer is so appreciated! The tempo is perfect!!! You are a teacher and an artist. Thank you very very much.

[@grumblycurmudgeon]

Out. Standing! Thank you, sincerely for producing this! This was fantastic! And for someone who's "new at this", your video quality is extraordinary!

[@eggster71]

Top notch work. Great video, thanks for sharing!

[@andregiroux5199]

Thanks for sharing! I had seen your planes and love them. Hope to make one some day. :)

[@violinmiata]

I have the first poor man’s no. 1 It’s pretty cool to see how it was made!

[@jimcarter4929]

What a sweet little plane, they are just beautiful. Good job on video too.

[@koendeboeve]

Nice work! those look absolutely stunning!

[@HarryFroemberg]

Great Job 👍👍👍

[@1pcfred]

I've made a couple plane totes. This was an interesting take on the process. Get yourself a rotary rasp to save some hand work. You want the conical shaped one. That in an air die grinder is the ticket.

[@robertberger8642]

Very cool, nicely done!

[@willbaxter5272]

This is supper cool and am just getting started with learning and machining my own parts. I think once I get a little bit more versed in that craft I will attempt this myself. I'll probably use one of the little orange ones from Lowes. they call them a 102 but they are nearly identical to my Stanley 101. I also have a little Stanley 103 that might make a nice candidate for a bit bigger option. Thank you for showing us the ropes!

[@DaveCorinth]

I would love to see what you make, so feel free to send some pics.

[@ardenbolton5992]

Great job! I'm impressed! I'm going to make one. 😀

[@DaveCorinth]

I would love to see some pics….

[@th-pl3nx]

Absolutely incredible!!!! I've got a second Jorgensen block plane arriving tomorrow that I want to make into a high bevel for planing figured maple, and planned on making a tote a knob to mount on it. If you don't know, they are terrific block planes and would work great for a project like this.

[@DaveCorinth]

I would love to see it when you get finished. And feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

[@th-pl3nx]

@@DaveCorinth Thanks.

[@davidbales8053]

Great idea! Always wondered about a no. 1, worth having in the shop if you have grown up size hands? Would a different tote be better in that case, to allow the palm to cup the back of the plane more?

[@DaveCorinth]

I’ve seen several different versions of handles on these planes. Some are more like an infill and do cup the palm.

[@RobRobertson1000]

They are beautiful Dave :)

[@thomasdickey356]

Great tutorial Dave!

[@DaveCorinth]

Thank you kindly!

[@Expedient_Mensch]

There are a few things I would not do, or I would do differently, as I feel it degrades the plane. But aesthetically speaking, AMAZING work.

[@DaveCorinth]

I would love to hear more.

[@bobweiram6321]

For one, drilling through the sole of the plane should have been avoided. Instead of milling off the bosses, I would leave it for its thickness and drill a blind hole and tap it. You only need a few threads. You can also reduce the diameter of the boss by milling around its circumference using a rotary table, or lathe chuck, if it's big enough.

[@Expedient_Mensch]

@@bobweiram6321Yes, exactly, that was one of the things I would have done differently. That would allow a through screw or stud for the tote and knob. But even if you do remove the index boss, I would still use a long counter sunk machine screw, all the way through the tote, rather than a wood screw. Also, I would not have worried about the faux adjusters, they serve no function and requires milling away material, therefore creating a weakness. And cutting the slot in the iron reduces the usable length of the blade, for no good reason other than aesthetics.

[@j.r.tidwell3318]

Brother, your planes look like Mr. Stanley was showing you the way. Great Job my friend. I was so impressed that I liked and subscribed to your channel. Yee haw

[@DaveCorinth]

I greatly appreciate compliment, and I would like to think that “Stanley” would approve.

[@triune_blades]

I love these little beauties. I've bid on them a few times but they always go too high for me. Haha. One of these days I'll just suck it up and bid higher!

[@northernhumidor5615]

Stellar work

[@nelsondelgadozenteno8404]

Excelente video. Dimensiones de un Stanley #8, las partes de madera con sus medidas. Gracias por su respuesta.

[@lucianofariagoncalvesrosas3113]

Looks really amazing! I would make one for myself I could find one of these 101's here in Brazil for a decent price. Prices here are $70-$80 for the gray bodies!

[@DaveCorinth]

Keep looking, they are out there. I hope you find one.

[@1pcfred]

@@DaveCorinth the availability of old tools is regional. If they weren't there in the past they're not there now either. Some places are awash in that stuff. Lots of other places, not so much. Even now in the rich ground stuff's getting scarcer than it was. Every now and again I still run across a good find though. But it's getting less and less.

[@justplanefun]

Jolly good show, mate! I like the video and the planes!

[@Mett-wt3xj]

Great work!

[@DaveCorinth]

Thanks!

[@atiliovelasquez8076]

Great job !!!! do you have a tote plane available?

[@DaveCorinth]

I am currently working on a website that will make these available to anyone that wants one. I will post the website address here in this and all other videos once it’s up and running.

[@atiliovelasquez8076]

thanks !! @@DaveCorinth

[@alessandrosuppini943]

Tiny little beauties! 😄

[@sanderelo_ru]

You are my Hero!!! 👍👍👍👍👍

[@DaveCorinth]

Hero might be a strong term, I’m humbled none the less. Thank you for watching and the compliment.

[@dennisspiehs4593]

How much Do your small 101 planes cost and approximately how long are they

[@DaveCorinth]

Contact me on Facebook, same name Dave Corinth!

[@davidpeters8813]

These are so cool! Did you change the angle on that first one? It looks like a lower angle than the others.

[@DaveCorinth]

They are both the standard 45 degrees, I have in the last made a low angle version though.

[@davidpeters8813]

​@@DaveCorinth sorry, I meant the first one you made for your son. It looks like a low angle. How would one go about changing this to a low angle anyway?

[@DaveCorinth]

Yes the first one was a low angle, and it took forever to make. I used a file to lower the rails to 12 degrees.

[@UserNameAnonymous]

This is so damn cool. Found you from ebay.

[@DaveCorinth]

The two planes on currently on eBay are the two being made in the video. Thanks for watching.

[@LukasEragon]

Dave....do you sale these? they are pretty little guys!

[@DaveCorinth]

I do, but I don’t make them on a regular basis. I’ll make a pair when I get the time and usually offer them on eBay. If you are interested in one you can find me on Facebook under the same name.

[@ronb218]

Hello Dave do you sell these? If so how can I get in touch?

[@DaveCorinth]

You can find me on Facebook under the same name “Dave Corinth”, be glad to get one in your hands. I’m also in the process of making a website.

[@beachthor1]

Amazing what can be accomplished with a shop full of machinist tools.

[@DaveCorinth]

I only have a small Vertical Mill and a bench top lathe. I wish I had a shop full of machinist tools.

[@PPG9944]

This is great!

[@lv_woodturner3899]

Very interesting. Very well done and good explanation. I am not understanding the slot on the Poor Mans 101. The thumbscrew does not go in the slot. What am I missing. Is this just to look like the No 1 iron? Another Dave.

[@DaveCorinth]

The slot is just for looks and makes it look more like a traditional iron on a bench plane.

[@SuperCruelworld]

What everyone else is saying. Sweet!

[@Tensquaremetreworkshop]

So, you own a mill- and still use terms like 'perfectly flat' and 'perfectly square'?

[@DaveCorinth]

Just because a man owns a mill doesn’t mean he knows how to use it…..
