035 Strike block plane

Sooooo, hello my Friends!!!
It's been 6 months since i upload my last video.
I didn't expect that my break in planemaking will be so long.
At this moment finally i can say - yes, i'm back!
In today's episode i'm gonna make something special - classic strike block plane with intermittent boxing. The plane is purposed to work on the engrain surface. As you know endgrain surface of the wood is the most durable for friction, so the sole of wooden plane can be damage quickly. Because of that i'm gonna use small pieces of boxwood, and glue them into the sole of the plane. Notice the grain direction of the boxing, they will be perpendicular to the sole, that detail will keep durable of the sole for years of using.
For this project i'm gonna use:
- piece of smoked black locust for the body
- log of boxwood for the wedge and the boxing
- padauk and maple veneer inlay (just for fun)
- my hand tools
- my hands
- my head ;)
I hope you like how the plane will works!
At the end of the video i got small surprise for you :)
Thank you!
If you have any questions or sugestions just write a comment.
Enjoy!
Btw. Sometimes you asked me about plans of my planes, but i'm really sorry, i have them only in my head.. Maybe some day i'll put them on the paper or digital version. Today i don't have a time for it.

PL
Witajcie moi przyjaciele!
Minęło 6 miesięcy od przesłania mojego ostatniego filmu.
Nie spodziewałem się, że moja przerwa w planowaniu będzie tak długa.
Dzisiaj wreszcie mogę powiedzieć - tak, wróciłem!
W dzisiejszym odcinku zrobię coś specjalnego - klasyczny strug typu strike block z okresowym boksingiem. Strug przeznaczony jest do pracy na sztorcach desek. Jak wiadomo, powierzchnia sztorców jest najbardziej odporna na tarcie i szybko może uszkodzić drewnianą stopę. Z tego powodu użyję małych kawałków bukszpanu (tzw. boxing) i wkleję je w stopę. Zwróć uwagę na kierunek usłojenia boxingu, będzie prostopadły do stopy, ta drobnostka zachowa trwałość stopy przez lata użytkowania.
Do tego celu użyję:
- kawałek wędzonej robinii akacjowej na korpus
- pniaczek bukszpanu na klin i boxing
- wkładki z forniru padauk i klonu (dla zabawy)
- moje narzędzia ręczne
- moje ręce
- moja głowa ;)
Mam nadzieję, że podoba Ci się sposób działania tego narzędzia!
Na koniec filmu mam dla Ciebie małą niespodziankę :)
Dziękuję!
Jeśli masz jakieś pytania lub sugestie, napisz komentarz.
Pozdrawiam!
Przy okazji. Czasami pytacie mnie o plany moich strugów, ale bardzo mi przykro, mam je tylko w głowie .. Może kiedyś przeleję je na wersję papierową lub cyfrową. Dziś nie mam na to czasu.

Beyond my absolute fascination with the layout of these works of functional art, I love that you do not mask the sound of construction with a soundtrack. Nothing more soothing that listening to tool maker/woodworker making hand tools "sing". THANK YOU!

Just from the way it’s working, that locust looks to be extremely hard. It must have required frequent resharpening of your chisels.

Piękna robota! Czy można gdzieś zakupić twoje strugi?

[@StavrosGakos]

Dziękuję! Przykro mi, ale nie wykonuję ich na sprzedaż, nie mam na to czasu. Pozdrowienia!

[@andrewgarratt5191]

Totally awesome!,I got the plane making book 😁!, I started one a lot like this...Black walnut with strait,non dovetailed beech strips.... Took me a whole day to insure no gaps, Then I started drilling the mouth,came up from the bottom on each side,then realized 😤I forgot to mark extra space for the cheeks. So I have to re-do,that brings me to a question please: When joining different wood species,like what you did in this video, Do the density’s of the 2 woods have to be similar ?....or is it fine to join wood that’s Very different in density? Example: Boxwood Janka hardness is over 2000 pounds, Black walnut is only 1000 pounds Do these differences matter in regards to “movement in service” in a situation like what’s in your video?

[@StavrosGakos]

Thank you Andrew! Thats great that you are trying to build a plane! You asked me about density of the wood for boxing. It should be more density that the wood used for the body of the plane but more important thing is grain direction of the boxing. It is perpendicular to the sole (end grain pieces are showed from the sole side). End grain is always much harder/durable than any other side of wood. Good luck!

[@allenwc]

Wow, nice shop. definitely an upgrade. Another beautiful plane. I like all the specialty tools you made for plane making. Really fool and inspring. Thanks kindly

[@StavrosGakos]

Hey William :) Thanks a lot!

[@tombaker3794]

The level of perfection is amazing, a true craftsman at work. All hand work, no "machining" of components.

[@StavrosGakos]

Thank you Tom :) i used my old bench grinder fir work with the blade but i didn't want to show it again ;)

[@BenKingEagles]

Nice plane, well done. But could you use a sharp pencil? Seriously, a dull marking pencil is just creating errors you have to correct. :P I'm curious if you left material on the sole for flattening, with regards to your finished mouth width? You "snap-transitioned" that part. I always find it interesting how western wooden planes have grain oriented concave upwards and Japanese planes place the grain sideways. It makes more sense to me sideways, as the grain movement will not affect the holding of the blade. Whereas the western planes place the entirety of the plane's mechanical workings on the exact plane that will expand and contract, loosening the blade or tightening it till the body forms cracks. Certainly something to consider both sides of.

[@StavrosGakos]

Thanks, flattening was preety simple. I never leave some extra material on the sole. I don't care about sharp pencil, every line have right and left side ;)

[@LimitedGunnerGM]

Okay, so you seem like a master craftsman that is starting his own wood shop from scratch. Incredible skill, just building your tools!

[@marsian6034]

Welcome back Stavros! Great job as always. Hope don't have to wait six months for the next one, haha... Cheers!

[@StavrosGakos]

Hey :) Another video will be sooner for sure, don't worry :)

[@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230]

I LOVE your planes! They are works of art and yet can slice into the hardest of woods and make whisper thin shavings. You should enter in the yearly contest in Japan to see who can make a plane that makes the longest & intact shaving. I'd bet on you to win.!! Someday your planes will become a highly collectible item to own. Have you ever thought of selling them?

[@StavrosGakos]

Hey! Thank you :) i don't have a time to build them for sale yet. Regards!

Just wondering what's the significance of the 1938rLuck ruler?

[@StavrosGakos]

My home was build in '60 by the man who leave Łuck during II World War. It was painful and very hard time between Polish and Ukraine people who lived there together in one area. You can read about it in the net. Regards!

[@pmewUK]

That was awesome. I am so glad to see that your leg is healed and your move went OK. Great piece of work, thank you Stravos.

[@StavrosGakos]

Thanks a lot mate!

[@Oldgoldminer]

Are you in a new shop? Or did you just add more lights? I like the new format. Welcome back, Love your videos and your work.

[@StavrosGakos]

Thank you Curtis! Yes, it is my new shop, i organized it in my basement of my house. Regards!

[@LimitedGunnerGM]

I can clearly see that the strike block plane works very well on endgrain, there’s no question there. My question is why is it so good? Should a shooting plane also have a strike block? I know I use my shooting board for end grain most of the time.

[@StavrosGakos]

Hey, the answer is simple - the cutting angle is extremely low. The construction of metal low angles planes allows to get the lowest cutting angle about 37 deegrees (bed 12 plus bevel 25). In wooden strike block planes the blade is bevel down, so the cutting angle is the same as the bed. My shooting plane is strike block plane with 33 deg bed and the bed is paralel, so the real cutting angle is about 32 deg. 5 deg makes the difference 🙂

[@drummeralek]

Nice to see you back @Stavros :) where do you buy wood for your planes? Regards from Gdańsk! Alex

[@StavrosGakos]

Cześć Alex :) Nie mam stałego źródła, trochę tu trochę tam ;) Pozdrowienia!

[@hang-on4807]

Great Event! Congratulation ! Dawson.

[@BobBlarneystone]

Gosh, that shop is so clean... The shopmade saw-files, and the blunt chisel-scraper are innovative. Black locust is a very hard wood, so what is the function of the boxwood inserts in the sole? Do they keep the sole flat, against the warping effects of the growth ring orientation?

[@StavrosGakos]

Hey Fulla :) Go to the description of the video, i wrote there about it :) Thanks a lot!

[@MortimerKadaver]

His wife cleans this shop every night when Stavros sleeps :P

[@nageshsarang_youtube]

[@evgmerc]

Hi Stavros! Your plane is beautiful as always! Are you afraid that your mouth will chip? Because there is a veneer in front of the knife.

[@StavrosGakos]

Thanks, no, i'm not afraid :)

[@nixonlumberco.5178]

Hey Stavros. Question. When you are shooting to fit the boxwood pieces for the bottom. How do you not get rid of the angle you cut them at? Shooting them would make the angle 90 degrees would it not?

[@StavrosGakos]

Hey Brad, i shoot them on the 80 deg ramp on my shooting board. That's all :)

Why do you insert the blades / knives on a slight angle instead of perpendicular to the sole of the plane..?

[@StavrosGakos]

Hey Andrew, skewed blade needs less effort to start cut the end grain. Regards

[@jbn1695]

Happy to see you back master ;)

[@StavrosGakos]

Thank you :)

[@jacobmeadows1064]

Does anyone know why the grain orientation is parallel woth the sole instead of perpendicular?

[@StavrosGakos]

Because the plane is purposed to work with end grain. The end grain is the most durable for friction so without that boxwood boxing the plane sole will get damage very quickly.

[@morgmoll1]

[@scottanderson2581]

Very nice btw. Couple of things I’ve never seen the saws/files you took out the sides to depth, I’m assuming you made them yourself. One with push stroke one with pull? And the negative angle on the chisel, looked like -5 degrees I’m assuming it acts like a scraper? Never seen that before.

[@StavrosGakos]

Thank you Scott! That saws/file are called floats, planemaking floats. They are made in push and pull version to work with bed and abutments (push on the bed, pull on the abutments) without tearout. The blunt chisel technique came frome Bill Carter, on his yt channel you can find whole video about it. Regards!

[@scottanderson2581]

Wow you learn something everyday. Just looked them up and again wow. Lie Neilson floats, very nice. Flat narrow edge. Looks like a cross between a rasp a file and a saw. I’ll check out the blunt chisel technique. Love old planes, I work in a college teaching joinery and have some coffin shaped smoothing made by Mathieson. Some rebate too. Loads of old planes. I’m from Glasgow and love anything Mathieson. I have a few old 1850s chisels. Love the cast steel. Holds a nice edge. They don’t make tools like that anymore. Well you do but not mass produced. You get a sub from me btw. Love your work.

[@toblexson5020]

This is a beautiful plane. Is the skew blade better at endgrain than a low angle approach? I've always seem low angle used on endgrain (and my current planes are LA, bevel up), although I have noticed that with a wood like Black Walnut, even the low angle isn't enough to prevent nasty tearout at the of the board. Seeing you build all these bevel down planes is making me reconsider them compared to the bevel up ones I currently use.

[@mattybrookes1]
