How to Choose, Tune, and Use Rabbet Planes with Bill Anderson

[@elluisito000]

This person is a very good instructor, plane and simple.

[@anonymousaccordionist3326]

I like you. That was a good one.

[@chris7662]

Thank you for taking the time to present this to those of us just beginning with rabbet planes. It was very helpful indeed.

[@captaincoyote1792]

Is it just me? Or do watching and listening to these woodworking videos and the zen-like instructor quality of gentlemen like this one.....suddenly make a rainy Saturday enjoyable, aging parental issues more manageable, a wife with additional “honey dos” more loving, and an endless list of requests for my time since I retired more tolerable? I’m relatively new to woodworking.....leaning toward restoring old tools and furniture......and never knew that I not only need a rabbet plane (or three?!?!)....I may forgo a new set of fly fishing waders to buy some! Another Bravo-Zulu to this exceptional instructor....and his most relaxing and knowledgeable teaching style!

[@Postfrogish]

Holy moly, this is incredible and informative stuff. This is exactly the information I was looking for. How to choose, setup and how to use - all in one. I am very grateful for the knowledge shared here.

I'd add the Stanley 78 to the list of workmanlike rabbet planes

[@29jug11]

A superb demonstration of how these wonderful old planes work when sharpened and set up correctly.... I too have a fair collection.... ...just to help...a dab of linseed oil or even beeswax will ease progress ... but not on hardwood that might stain.... always try to cut with the grain... ..tacked on fences are allowed too.......

[@lauralake7430]

I thought i had dreamed using this type of plane on my grand dads bench. No one knew what i was talking about. They just kept trying to sell me routers and other electric things. Now i can find one

[@Vincent-S]

Oh thank goodness for this video. I got a skewed rabbet plane and thanks to this video, I now know that it has a totally different iron in it. The iron is skewed at like a 75 degree angle while the mouth of the wood body is around 65. I think I'll try and hammer out a new body for it instead of reshaping the iron. Purely for the experience.

[@Mr_Rick]

Very good video. I would love to see detailed video instruction on how to make moulding planes. For example, how do you make a side bead moulding plane?

[@WisdomPrevails369]

This is extremely soothing to watch

[@raybohn7]

Excellent presentation skills. I learned much more than I expected. Thank you

[@TheMrchuck2000]

Great, great, great info! Exactly what I was in need of. I’d love to be a student of this guy (well… I guess I kind of AM, just on YT!)

[@XoVoX]

Im not even kidding! I have been trying to learn about woodworking and was searching for a plane that shaves down an edge. This video popped up the very next day! Thank you for this education.

[@robertberger8642]

Excellent tutorial.

[@KFVR91]

Found about a half dozen of these last week in a local antique store. Wasn't quite sure what kind of planes they were so I didn't buy any... until now. Maybe I'll go back and grab one and learn to use it. Thanks for the demo!

[@mkrobert51]

Thank you so very much for this video. I have a 3/8" skewed wooden plane with a nicker, but I couldn't get the blades out. Then I saw you tap the toe of the plane to release the wedge. The hardest piece of wood I had available was the handle of a very old pick axe. It took about a dozen wacks on the butt of the axe handle to finally release both wedges. Now that I have them and the irons removed I will be able to clean it up and use it. Again, thank you!

[@mrmime125]

Great explanation and demonstration. Thank you so much!

[@willemkossen]

Love those planes. I use them regularly. Good stuff

[@genardusfaberus6514]

Hi, excellent video! great explanation! Thank you

[@shaundeane]

Thank you, great overview

[@negaopiroca2766]

Fantastic skill and knowledge, thank you so much. I have a question, on how a rabet that doesn't go up until the ends of the board would be cut.

[@cynthiaquilici6793]

I have seen something called a "bullnose" plane, or a "double rabbet" plane, that has a blade at the very front, so that can come right up to whatever your internal stopping-point is. (I haven't used one, just seen them.)

[@dalejones4186]

Great job. Awesome and very knowlegable instructor. I was waiting for the explanation of the function of the nicker. I greatly enjoyed the video.

[@johnw.peterson4311]

Great job Bill. The old tools are my favorite. Thank you.

[@markharris5771]

I have a Stanley #78 which I use to start my shoulder, and then I use my skew mouthed shoulder plane. I find I get the neatest sharp shoulder this way. My #78 obviously has a nicker, but if it didn’t is it not worth doing a very heavy score with your marking knife to start you off? A brilliant video, extremely helpful to a newbie like myself.

[@TheTeetee85]

Just to have half of his knowledge would be amazing.

[@richnfamous59]

thanks - i found this very useful as i've had trouble getting rebates just right with my planes, which are the old style

[@robertbrunston5406]

Thanks for the demo Bill.

[@blackfender100]

Excellent instruction Thanks Bill.

[@adamthewoodworker2571]

@4:00, would I have to worry about tearout over the hole when I am hand planning the sole of the wooden plane? Not sure if that would be an issue but wanted to check in before doing that

[@trumpetguy8371]

@Wood and Shop So could these wooden rabbet planes be a viable alternative to modern shoulder planes?

[@mmocny]

Hello -- it looks like the link to buy the DVD is no longer available (also, hopefully DVD actually means "access to digital video" :)

[@bigDbigDbigD]

A great instructor. good content!

[@lanalana4678]

How do I make a surface desk?

[@brianmiller9365]

WOW. Thanks for the insight.

[@WoodAndShop]

You're welcome Brian, and thanks for your purchase of the DVD!

[@Roger49-x71]

interesting and explanatory video, thanks..however you don't talk about sharpening the irons, which I found to be tricky until I realised they require a 40° bevel...or am I wrong about that?

[@WoodAndShop]

Bill covers sharpening of these irons in the DVD here: woodandshop.com/product/dvd-choosing-refurbishing-using-joinery-handplanes-with-bill-anderson/

[@ianryan5727]

Wonderful as aways ....... cheers :)

[@MosquitoMade]

This might be a personal preference, but I hate when people use a stereo mic to mic a person... when they turn their head while speaking the audio keeps going from one channel to the other... Good content though

[@ekosuwikno9243]

Ok..is the best

[@richnfamous59]

good video - but I find it easier and more effective to work backwards, ie start the cut furthest away from you

[@joebump7034]

Hello all i was recently given a box of similar planes all different but similar to these wondering about what they are worth any info would be grateful thanks everyone

[@WoodAndShop]

Check ebay

[@TerryPullen]

I cut a finger out of a latex glove and slip it over the bandaged finger to keep the bandaid in place all day long.

[@catherpillardaje4868]

Io non parlo energia capisco la sua lingua.... Volevo intanto dirle che siete bravissimi tutti... Volevo chiederle anche un'altra cosa se vende queste stupende pialle e se le spedisce in Italia (Roma ) ....

[@pbsteelhead]

are you coming back or done

[@Родныекрая-л8г]

Can you translate into Russian? or subtitles

[@lynnlard5531]

I was disappointed that no explanation or reason for the iron being slightly wider than the sole, rather than same width, was offered.

[@WoodAndShop]

This is just a segment of a very long DVD. Just try the DVD if you want more details.

[@JonahRowley]

A hairy man in overalls just told me about his nickers and I don't feel like I need to cry in the shower at all.

[@hernancoronel]

With his skill level he could probably cut a rabbet with a mallet! For the rest of us Lie-Nielsen or Veritas! ;-)

[@andrewgarratt5191]

You have too many planes...I’ll buy the coach makers plane to help you out with that.

[@noahkelchner276]

Hahaha nicker...

[@shastakennmpx17]

This time I'll use WoodPrix instructions to make it by myself.

[@tamerhasturk8770]

too much speaking no working

[@WoodAndShop]

This is a segment of a very detailed DVD. There's plenty of "working" on the DVD.
