To use an old tool that contains the spirit of the previous users, taken care of and put away lovingly and finally coming into your hands to be restored and used, is a great honor to those who went before us. I've seen many beautiful tools hanging on walls or piled up in a box. When you lovingly restore a tool to use bring a satisfaction that you just can't explain until you do it. The sound, the result and the ancient vibes? Wow! You can't beat it! Thank You Kindly! Love, Light and Peace to You and you Family! DaveyJO in Pa.

I have been watching you from early on. I always appreciate the quality and value of your videos. I also have used hand planes for years and thought I understood the need for small tolerance from cutting edge and cap iron BUT never adjusted it to smaller tolerances to adjust for tear out. I just figured it was inherent with working with difficult grain and knots. I will experiment and hopefully have found the fine detail I was lacking. Thanks!

Beautiful ribbons of wood! I purchased a beat up jointer plane (wood) for a couple bucks. A man had all of his grandfather’s woodworking hand tools and farming implements but needs to start letting them go. My purchase needs even more love than this one in the video, but it doesn’t look beyond help. I tried to find out what type of wood was used for these old planes but came up dry. Once I clean her up, maybe her wood will become more obvious. I’m sure many woodworkers who built these used whatever hardwood was at hand, but the Beech you grafted in gave me direction. I look forward to undertaking these rescues. These are our history. Once they go to the landfill, another piece of history we can’t get back goes with them. This video was very helpful. Thank you.
@MrChickadee5 ай бұрын
Its most likely quarter sawn beech, unless it was made pre 1800 then it could be yellow birch, but thats very unlikely(intact jointers from that era are extremely rare), nearly all wooden bodied planes were beech from 1800 till end of production as nothing really compares to the wear resistance and seasonal stability of good beech. Plane makers would hoard and dry billets sometimes for a decade, it was a huge long logistical train to get the materials to the end user. Just finding 16/4 dried quartersawn beech nowadays is very difficult, so most hobby makers end up using maple or something else they can find.

@@MrChickadee It's so empowering to learn how things actually work and how to make them yourself. People go on and on about inflation and the cost of living and health care, but we're only truly affected by that if we use all our time to work for cash to pay for someone else to be making (and marking up the cost of) and doing all those things for us. In truth it's possible to have very nice things by salvaging all the perfectly good things people throw away and by doing and making things for ourselves. We also get the joy and stimulation of learning new skills and the pride and joy of what we create with our own hands, as well as the ability to do be largely independent of the market economy.

Nice to see another video.. keen to see what’s next on your build list.. Totally get what your about with you way of working.. My power mitre saw gave up on me on a new build.. had to go book it in for repairs and order parts.. so while that was being done.. went and got a hand mitre box and just continued the job. Having all these fancy Dewalt power tools skill saws, nail guns is all well and good.. but when they go wrong.. which they do from time to time.. dose kind of leave you screwed. Or how about no power in site.. have to spend more money on a generator.. or left your charger at home.. got to go home and get it losing time at work. So yeah love what you do and are all about.. Something to be said using the hand tools in this day and age.. come as a great back up.. and they last a lot longer. Know how to sharpen tools like hand saws folks? Well.. they don’t teach that at college? Just go and by a new one.. But as you say josh.. learning old skills before they dye out.. sharpening all your kit saws included.. caring for it all.. then they will last you for generations .. not just the length of a few jobs.. Besides nothing nicer than ripping a plank to length with a good old rip saw.. get a good work out and it’s satisfying to do. Doubt the Japanese and Egyptians shad fancy nail guns and chop saws etc when they built the pyramids and pergodas and look how long they have lasted. Japanese temples withstand earth quakes to.. and they are on joints.. amazing.. So totally with you Mr C on your methods. But would be interesting to know how long it takes you to build a house.. compared to the modern way of framing.. be nice to see how the framing industry has moved on over the past years.. from the way you and the Japanese do it.. to now. Keep up the good work and can’t wait to see your next project. On a totally different note.. have you see this guy.. amazing and check out his machine.. he is doing a updated one now.. but talk about a carpentry project.. enjoy.. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6e4hmugpKeVZ7M
