Why Is The Blade IN LINE With The Plane

[@syriuszb8611]

I think it's a nice base that could use some attachments for modern use, if designed right. It could make grooves in wood too with proper attachment, maybe some design shape, and quick and easy depth adjustment could be used to allow quick multiple passes with it. Although there could be a better hand tool for it already, no idea.

[@professor62]

I really like and appreciate these “useless” tools videos, especially because you always give the historical context, and that makes them very enjoyable not to mention educational. Thanks, James!

i've been a renovation carpenter for forty odd years and once in a while we need to repair/replace a tile or two in a ceiling that was damaged/missing. typically find this stuff in older basement recrooms. in those 40 some years, i think i did one entire ceiling! i hate the stuff. patrick's comments are hilarious but most of the disdain is directed to the material. i agree, the tool is brilliant

[@CombrinkPierre]

I have the Record 735 Fibreboard plane, with 3 extras and the box. I love it.

[@acarpentersson8271]

I sometimes have to replace ceiling tiles in restaurants. We still have beveled edges on the tiles, and when we cut the tiles we lose the bevel. I'm not going to buy one of these, but if I had it, I would use it

[@arthurbrands6935]

If it can be used on acoustic tile, it would be useful making pyramids and other shapes to break up sound waves, or fitting them to the inside of a speaker cabinet.

[@mikehoare6093]

your freehand 45 was quite nice !

[@the_semi_competent_woodworker]

That comment on spill planes highlights that James has never run out of matches

[@SheyCrompton]

Anyone who owns one of these has a pure passion for planes! I love that I'd never have ever known about this, but now know. If anything, it remains useful so people can know that once it had a use.

[@finnmcool2]

Before you brought it up I thought of the spill plane. Really, the spill plane can still be handy if you have a fireplace or wood stove. Particularly now that people rarely have a stack of newspapers laying around.

[@ramonching7772]

On spill plane... All you need is just regular plane a take a shave at an angle. Spill plane exist because it was cheaper than a regular plane during its days.

[@bobbenzuly7893]

It reminds me of a cutting tool used to cut a rabbet around acoustic ceiling tile to accommodate T-bar ceiling grid. Perhaps it's a precursor of the current tool?

[@J.A.Smith2397]

Really great one here, you should get into some bob Vila fixing stuff around the home the traditional way!!!!!

[@artswri]

Really interesting tool, thanks for showing!

[@egbluesuede1220]

nice history lesson. Everytime I see these ceiling tiles in renovation projects, I immediately assume Aestbestos. wonder if that was a response to the original versions going "poof" with heat and flame?

[@mewzishun]

I've enjoyed Blood and Gore for years. Lots of facts and chuckles.

[@andrewmcgillivray1881]

the channel should be called „something wrong with Wright“

[@anonymousaccordionist3326]

I think I may know of one single area in which this could possibly find minor use; Cosplay. Cosplay costume creators use eva foam for much of their construction, and often carry out many of their operations with nothing more than a utility knife. This plane could be great for detailing the foam in a more precise way.

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

a few other people mentioned foam core board work.

[@keithswoodshop1193]

Right price I’d get one, the perfect display piece.

[@dougcross8609]

I can see a possible niche use for those who make cardboard structures.

[@glynluff2595]

This made me laugh, so I started the day well! As for spill planes not seen one since my youth and they were unusual then. Greetings from U.K.!

[@rabindrabraaksma5077]

I’m about to own a no195 tomorrow 😍😍😍

[@alans1816]

I wonder if a simple shooting board-like jig might allow this to be used as a mat cutter for framing pictures. And whether it would have any advantage for that use.

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

That is one possible use but once you pay for the parts to set up the jig for it you might as well just buy a matte cutter. It would also probably not be very good for the surface of the mat as you run it over it. But it might be worth a try.

[@alans1816]

@@WoodByWrightHowTo If you have one it might be worth a try, but it’s not likely worth it to buy one to try. By the way, one usually cuts through from the back anyway.

[@jackroy9094]

That might work good for duct board in hvac

[@sjlarue1]

Hey! I have a fiberboard ceiling...that would have been fun to use when I remodeled...team 193! 😀

[@EricMeyerMaker]

Now you are going to have to make a hand tools only cabinet from fiber board! I wonder if the tool would have use in cutting cardboard, foam, or other materials used in model making?

[@ryanallthewiser]

Very cool tool, I don’t think I’ll ever get one but love the demo & history. 🎉

[@scottb.2022]

I have one of these tools with most (not all) of the attachments. I've never used it...

[@Praxaeus]

I wonder how useful this would be on a stage set where they use the hard foam for set dressing...

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

I was thinking along that line myself. I use to be a TD adn foam carving is what it is all about.

[@christianpelchat2155]

This tool remind us how home repair and finishing carpentry is easy nowaday.

[@jacobwilson3316]

Are you interested in having parts #3 and #6

[@WoodenBoatBen]

I think I would collect one and make a special plinth for it to sit on, just to irritate “collectors”. 😁😁

[@jacobcohn546]

Could it be used for carving where you need a straight line that you'd normally cut with a v gouge?

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

It would have to be a very shallow cut and you'd have to be very careful with what would you use as it would want to follow the grain pretty easily. I've attempted it on a few softwoods and it works okay but it would take a lot of setup to do just right.

[@MCsCreations]

REALLY interesting tool indeed, James! 😃 It should work fine for foam board, right? If so, it could be great for building rc airplanes! 😃 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

The blades would have to be really sharp. But it would work well on foam board I tried it on balsa and it works well going across the grain but going with the grain it often catches. I have also heard that some people would want to try it on foam tiles for costume making.

[@arthurbrands6935]

If that use gets popular, they could call it the RC plane!

[@MCsCreations]

@@arthurbrands6935 I like it! 😂

[@mikehoare6093]

@@WoodByWrightHowTo I have heared, that Patrick Leach absolutely despises them.....

[@vogonpoet5860]

would this tool work on polystyrene tiles or plasterboard ? if so it would suddenly be useFUL !

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

I tried it on drywall and it can work though it does very quickly. Also when you cut the paper of the drywall you weaken it and it is no longer a very solid wall. I have heard a few people say they might give it a try for crafting with foam core board.

[@What_Other_Hobbies]

Ok, James, where is Stanley No. 139 now? I want one.

[@robertbamford8266]

Sad for the clever solution when the problem goes away.

[@privatechannel8462]

I believe dust collection is its best, current use

[@roybailey1134]

Hi mate you said the No 139 ? I thought it was the No 193 , best wishes from England.

[@SteveC38]

That's nifty.

[@billmccabe9601]

That plane would work well with Homasote to create patterns, and Homasote is a lot more safe and durable.

[@triune_blades]

Cool stuff. Thanks for uploading this. If I come across one of these for the right price, I'll at least know how to use it and what it should have with it.

[@МиколаАвдєєнко-ы9ц]

Maybe you can use it to cut a passe-partout?
