Upgrade a Jointer Plane - woodworking with handtools

How to get board edges or timber square?
Small project to improve a wooden jointer plane: right angle, 90° Jig. Simple and useful DIY project, made of scrap-wood within less than 2 hours. Silent workshop, hand-tools only, no noise, no speaking.

Usually i use this space to add some information and ideas about the project. But in this case, i believe, that the video speaks for itself. If you still find some open questions, please write them into the comments!

Nice solution to square fence to plane I had an old axe like that one time. I put a new head on it, and a new handle

[@bencepaul3497]

This is an excellent idea!! Thanks for sharing!

Hello Stavros. Lot of inspiration came through your channel; Now i'm glad to be able to send some back to you ;-)

@@littleforest i'm glad for it :) best regards!

The genius of it is in the simplicity of the idea and execution. Great work.

[@JoshIbbotson]

Would love to do this to my old jointer when I find some time! Great video!

[@davestinyworkshop]

awesome jig!

Now that is the best new stick ( pun ). I have looked at other side plates for iron planes but this is my first for a wood body. Nice job.

[@mikeanderson6881]

Very nice. It makes me wonder why joiner planes don't come with a fence normally. Very nice to see that axe handle finding a new life as well.

[@JamesSmith-su3oz]

The record co. did make just that type of plane called a technal jack mostly used in trade schools in UK.

[@littleforest]

Yes, so simple that I've been bit wondering if I am really the first inventor of this idea. Veritas sells some similar and quite expensive things for their iron planes. But still the plane is pushed, not the wood, which does not help for thin pieces..but thanx to them; it is while watching them that I got the idea.

[@mpjotor]

Amazing idea! Great job.

[@isaacnguyen6944]

Good work. If I may say it is a shooting board turm 90 degrees, where the wood is pushed, not the planner.

[@LitoGeorge]

Yes, this was my exact thought. A great idea.

[@leonlowenstadter9223]

Nice! Excellent Idea!

[@guillemclapes5587]

Great idea and well executed

I like to watch the Little Forest because it represents solid and sustainable handcraft techniques.

[@maheshmehendale9210]

Very nice idea and practical thinking.

[@robertsmith3518]

No speak ,no watch . Good by Next

Up grade or sidestepping skill development?

[@baumstamm6129]

in my opinion wooden planes, especially jointers are very difficult to hold level on the edge of a board... where as metal stanley planes really kind of register on the flat face and stay there... any idea why this is?

[@littleforest]

Hello Baum ;-) One difference between the iron jointer plane and the wooden one is, that the handle for the pushing hand is more low, near the target with iron planes. That helps to be more precise moving / holding it.

[@littleforest]

Actually, both hands are closer to the wood...

[@baumstamm6129]

@@littleforest i see, ofc... have some of both plane types but never was really happy with the big wooden jointer... it was just cheap to get here in austria... but i like your videos really much! a lot of ingenuity! where do you get your ideas and skills from? do you have a oldtimer who shows you or books? or all by yourself? best regards Georg:)

[@littleforest]

Maybe our preference is much depending on what tools we are used to. I have actually never had an iron jointer in my hands... This books and oldtimers, it seems, they are somewhere inside of me. Greetings back to Austria!

I was waiting to see a band-aid at 4:18.

[@johnschillo4452]

how many hp is that jointer?

[@littleforest]

Depends on my breakfast - oats are a good thing for horse power!
