Uses for a Block Plane

[@The_Joker_]

My old man was a carpenter, a real top notch engineer. I only recently became friends with a neighbour who is 85 and a boat builder since he was 15. the knowledge I’m learning is unreal. Some of the best people I know are woodworkers. These videos are worth keeping.

[@Woodworkingmasterclass]

Thanks Joker, We are a good bunch. :) Cheers Steve

[@JamesKain]

These are the videos I love. Lots of little things I missed growing up in catching up on.

[@Woodworkingmasterclass]

I missed them as well, so here's our chance you make things right. :) Appreciate your comment James, thanks. Cheers Steve

[@anthonymoraes3251]

Thanks again and thanks a ton for helping me get through the initial stages of the pandemic here. Your live videos everyday kept me sane. Big hug - Anthony from New York! 🇺🇸❤️

[@Woodworkingmasterclass]

I think we all needed some sort of diversionary tactics in the early stages, mine was filming, yours was watching. What a stupendous combination Anthony. Hope you are coping OK (ish) now. Cheers Steve

Loaded 2 minutes ago! I can't believe it notified me. Love the video. So glad you got me into using hand planes.

[@Woodworkingmasterclass]

So am I Panda, THE MORE THE MERRIER. LOL. Cheers Steve

[@patriotperspective9321]

I didn't know that the direction you plane in made a difference! Thanks Mr. Hay.

[@Woodworkingmasterclass]

Hi Quade, Huge difference. From either having a pleasant experience to being very frustrated with the process and resultant finish. Thanks for the feedback. Cheers Steve

Great tips! Careful!!

[@Woodworkingmasterclass]

Hi Silver, Great to hear from you again. Hope to catch up soon on a stream. Cheers Steve

[@silver-hy6mi]

Woodworking Masterclass thanks Steve, I’ve been busy of late but catching on your videos later at night. I’ll try to send you a email hopefully at the end of the week!

[@viscache1]

I only own 4 planes made later than 1664. I love the wood body planes and the wonderful feel of the molding planes. But everyone needs at least one block plane and flush plane.

[@Woodworkingmasterclass]

Hi Theophilus, I agree a Block Plane is a must and a good smoothing plane is also very nice to have. Thanks for dropping in on the stream today. Cheers Steve

[@Thom4123]

I’m with you, I have 4 block planes each set for different tasks. Thank you for all the tips. Take Care 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@Woodworkingmasterclass]

Hi Thom, Yep, can't have enough if 'em. Great idea having each one set for a different task. Thanks for the comment. Cheers Steve

[@JohnColgan.]

Good sign if you can cut end grain without struggling, super sharp, easier to control than a full bench plane.

[@Woodworkingmasterclass]

Agreed John. It's the little things that make the biggest differences. And sharp in on the top of the list. Appreciate your comment. Cheers Steve

[@tbone7193]

Hey Steve (and any Woodworking Masterclass fans) what is the name (common and/or brand) of the tool I see Japanese carpenters using to cut half-blind dovetails? It shaped sort of like a putty knife. They seem to be wedging it along the cut lines to get a clean edge before removing the waste.

[@ianhirons7762]

Another great video Steve thank you for the tips and your time .I would like to see how you make that miter joint on the box you planed.

[@Woodworkingmasterclass]

Hi Ian, You're , welcome and I'm pleased you are enjoying the videos and getting something from them. The box on the video is a specialized Box I make for a specific purpose.That is was done on a table saw with a mitered blade and fitted with splines. The keyways for the splines are done on the same saw with a change in depth of cut and a change in fence position. I think 2 blades were used, a normal rip blade and a Dado Blade. Cheers Steve

[@ianhirons7762]

@@Woodworkingmasterclass Thank you Steve for the reply I might try your other method with the exposed keys.

[@yvesmertz8209]

[@Woodworkingmasterclass]

Hi Yves, Very hand tool to have indeed. Cheers Steve

[@wwfera00]

Hi Jehan, the Block Plane is an Veritas NX60. Cheers Steve
