Shaping Planes to Fit

[@rondo365]

That’s the best discussion I have seen of plane shape issues.

Excellent video. It offers good clear diction and lucid explanations about personal use of the subject planes. The expose about palm grip, fatigue and basic ergonomics is extremely useful in future hand planer design and development. This is one of the best videos on the net about this subject. If put to proper use it can be very useful in designing and building planes; both wood and metal. Thank you Isaac.

I really enjoyed your video, Isaac, and appreciated the spontaneous, non-scripted aspect of it. This motivates me to try making a plane myself.

Great video. Interesting to see how you use all your different planes.

Very detailed, thank you. I do belive it is better to make a whole set of specific wooden planes to avoid a lot of sharpening during the workday.

Hi Isaac, I built a smoother with a 1 1/2” x 3 1/2” blade which works really well. Following your path, I would like to build a similar one for more general work. I would really appreciate it if you could give me your advise on the size of the blade to use and mouth opening. Thank you in advance.
