    I started woodwork as a hobby when I was a kid and went into carpentry/joinery as a trade when I left school aged 16. I am 61 now. I cannot - dare not - even think about how compulsive buying tools becomes. I have, as yet, managed to evade the interest of the psychiatrist but I fear it's only a matter of time...!

    I know people want to
    go the frugal route when starting out and rehab antiques (and I enjoy rehabbing some things) but I think everyone should maybe get just one plane (router or smoother) that is new and solid so they know what to rehab towards.

    I would love to see a video (you might have one already) on the blue block plane you were using in this video. Several years ago, my ex-wife's father died and left several large and well organized storage units. She told me to grab whatever I wanted when we went, and I picked up a couple of planes. One of which is that model of block plane. I'm not great at setting it up and using it. I've got it nice and sharp, but putting it together and getting the mechanism to move the blade properly is eluding me. Thanks!

    • @WoodByWrightHowTo

      Price depends wildly on where you're at. Around here 5 to $30 will get you most of them. But if you go out to the West Coast you're looking at 50 to $100. And in some places it may even be higher than that.

    Nice video - you forgot to mention how some of us find it difficult to identify the difference between "needing" a plane and "wanting" a plane :-)
    Although you touched on it in a short I don't think you've done a significant video on the difference between low and high cutter angles, bevel up or down and what difference it makes to the angle if the blade is skewed or indeed you skew the plane as you use it. What's in an angle and is the number usually relevant?

    Very timely video! Was at an estate sale when this went live, and was actually looking at a couple of hand planes!!
    Question, I'm trying to decide if I should go back for them, is $8 a piece too much for a Stanley Handyman and a Shelton No. 9? The Handyman has wood glue caked to the sole, and the Shelton is missing the iron, chip breaker, and lever cap. Would it be worth it to try and restore either of them?
    I want to get into using hand tools, and these would be my very first hand planes.

    • @vince55sanders

      the Stanley would be worth grabbing if it is complete and has no fractures. glue will eventually scrape off with a razor.

      I'm not too stupid to take the advice of those more wise than I, but I still kinda hate to see the Shelton go to waste. If I could negotiate the asking price down enough, what would be a fair price for it? I think it had a smidgen more surface rust than the Handyman, but it might've had the nicer tote and knob of the two (didn't think to check if they were interchangeable), if that makes a lot of difference.

      They both basically do the exact same thing the four plane just has a longer sole so it doesn't reach into The valleys as much. To find the high spots you usually use a straight edge and winding sticks.

    This might get lost in the comments but I wanna ask it anyways. Is it possible for you to make a video in the future on how to make a picture frame with basic tools? As basic as possible. Every video I see seems to over complicate it or just state that it is so easy there is no point going over it, which I did not realize until a couple days ago has led to me also over complicating it to the point I actually couldn't finish one. I know it should be easy and in theory it should be a basic beginner project but for the life of me my brain is not understanding which order I should do the steps.

      Wood were more common over the years as they were easer to produce. You see metal coming and going in different cultures, but making them one at a time would take 10X longer then making a wooden plane. They did not take off untell the industrial revaluation when making them took about the same amount of time a making wooden planes. A professional cabinet maker might wear out 7 or 8 wooden planes over their life time and they take a lot more maintenance to keep true. Where as a metal plane will last a few life times of full time use and not require much maintenance at all.
