Every Wood by Wright video: - Drill it - Make a stop cut - Chisel out the waste - Chamfer every corner - Carve it - Scrape it - Drown it in Boiled Linseed Oil You make it so simple, & I like that. It's easy to get overwhelmed, especially when you see people like Paul Sellers (phenomenal woodworker) do everything exact & perfect every time, or you see others say that you absolutely MUST do something a certain way. I really like your reality-driven organic approach, because that's how I built the things I have been the most proud of. No atomically precise measurements - just dive in, hold the pieces up together, and cut what looks good. 👍👍

Hi James, this is such an informative video, and a highly approachable project. I made my own (I am a noob) in less than 5 hours and it works like a dream! Instead of the U-bolt, I used a small piece of 1/2" flat steel bar, and it works equally well. I wish I could post the pictures here. I am an eager DIYer and your videos always help me be a happy craftsman.

This was helpful to me; I need to learn as much as I can about how these simple router planes function. I have a plan to make a router plane with a base of stainless steel plate glued with high strength rubber cement to a block of hardwood. The rubber cement means that there is enough flex to allow the wood and steel to expand and contract a little differently without the tool tearing itself apart. If this works I will have a home made router plane as stable as a solid metal one but better looking and shaped just for my own hands and preferences. I hope it works but if not I'll be out less than £10 in materials because I got the hardwood for nothing.

That sounds like a great idea. I would probably use high glue rather than contact cement. It has a slightly better bond and more long-term flexibility.

James - what a great build - thank you!! Gotta make one now. I noticed that your large one has the cutter close to the right end with a long span on the left side. Is this so you can have lots of leverage to hold it flat when routing near the end? Would it make sense to have a similar mounting set-up on the left side as well so you can have leverage on the right - just move the cutter over???
@WoodByWrightHowTo3 жыл бұрын
It is there to give a large reference surface for doing tenons. You could make it long on both sides, but that would make it a much larger tool. But with it just being on one side you can just flip the iron if you want to.

Nicely done! I have a question though for router planes. Like you, I make excuses t use my router plane since I purchased it! My question: have you ever seen jigs/guides for the router plane like circle cutting guide for an electric router? I’m experimenting with some designs. Thanks Mark. PS: Your series of videos are really excellent!
@WoodByWrightHowTo Жыл бұрын
The problem with that is the cutter is longer then it is wide so if the circle is too small it would jam in the cut. Also, going in a circle means that you will be going across the grain as well as against and with the grain. This means you would have to score the path in font of the cutting iron so you do not tear out the work. with all of that is is usually easer to just freehand carve it. but where their is a will there is a way.

I use the square to lay out the cut line for it. As long as I cut nicely along that line that's all that really matters. And with a small cutter like 3/8 of an inch it really doesn't matter that much. if you're out of alignment degree or 2 you really won't notice it in the function.
