Thank you for the video. I love the look of wenge but I have only ever bought 1 piece because when I pick it up I get a splinter, except for that one piece. I admire your work
I like this video, I especially like the voice over the editing. The music is not too bad, either, but it's very distracting at the current volume and your voice-over volume gets drowned out. Kudos to you for the vid. Just some helpful constructive criticism. Cheers.
@@onidb1 Thanks! Yes a 2” blade would work, but it may be difficult to use unless the plane has some weight to it to carry the momentum across the workpiece.
I really enjoyed that! Thank you for sharing. I followed along very well right up until the wedge part before I got a little confused. So, I watched through that part again and saw what you did. Very nice. I did a Veritas kit on my channel a few months back and it turned out great. Good thing because I'm better suited at making round things. LOL!
To form the round pin on the end of a piece like you did for the wedge stop, the easiest and fastest method I've ever found is to clamp the piece in a vise on the drill press and then come down on the end with an annular cutter. They make very precise diameters, and you can use the center pin to locate precisely on the stock. Just be sure to remove the center pin before you drill so you don't mar your work.
@@FrankBowlesFurniture I'm glad to help. Plus, it's an excuse to buy more tools since you need to be sure you have annular cutters with the right ID for your needs. 😁
@@FrankBowlesFurniture I was wondering if you've made any with other irons? I can't decide if to make my own from O1 steel or buy a hock or buy a cheap one from amazon for like $10. Do you have any thoughts? I've never used any of these irons, but the home depot plane I have the metal is too soft.
@@angelslovodan647 I was taught to make these planes using the hock irons and I wouldn't use any other just because they seem to be the best for the application; nice and thick, a good length for the plane, and quality steel. If you're going to put in the time to make a plane, you may as well use the best iron you can get. And they're only around $50 so its not going to break the bank by any means.
Hi there! First of all thanks for a great video. Second, having inherited two plane irons that belonged to my great grandfather I'm trying to make a scrub and a jack plane. Could the design you used for yours be used for these? Finally, where can I find information regarding the angles you cut?
Thank you! Yes you can alter the design to make a scrub plane. You would just make the mouth the same curved shape as the iron with a file. A wooden scrub plane might not have enough weight to it to really get you going on those deep cuts, but its worth a shot. The angle of the rear ramp is 45 degrees, while the angle for the forward ramp is 60 degrees. Hope this helps!
Overall it’s 14 5/8” long x 1 5/8” tall x 1 3/4” wide. Iron is 1”. From the front to the center of the cross pin is 7 1/8” and then from the center of the cross pin to the back end of the plane is 7 1/2”
Hi - nice video. I am always surprised to see woodworkers still using endangered, or near endangered wood. I wonder if you could comment on using Blackwood, or other rare and exotic woods. Further I wonder why people don't use native woods that you can verify to have been sustainably harvested- Thanks-
CAPITALS DUE TO LOSING SIGHT AND REDUCED COGNITIVE ABILITIES. BEAUTIFUL WORK AND LOVELY MUSIC. THANK YOU MICHAEL FROM THE UK.
Thank you!

Love the texturing of the front of the throat, and the tip about painting some wax in there before glue-up sounds like a great idea 👍
@@memilanuk thanks! Yeah using wax in that way is a game changer!

I built this plane and used Jatoba. It is a joy to use. Thanks for the excellent video!
Great video !
Nice jointer !
Thanks!
that plane is Really nice man 👍
Nice job... I intend to make some planes, this sort of video is gold for that. Thank you
Thanks! Hit me up if you get stuck or need some help
@@FrankBowlesFurniture thanks I sure will!
Thanks for this!
Nice!
very nice job and very helpful
One thing I don't like about Wenge is that if you just look at it wrong, you get very nasty splinters.....
Very good video thank you for your attention to detail on the steps
Would a 2 inch blade work for a shooting plane or jointer
@@onidb1 Thanks! Yes a 2” blade would work, but it may be difficult to use unless the plane has some weight to it to carry the momentum across the workpiece.
Thank you that is great and I really appreciate your video and want to make a plane as you describe
Excellent!
I would love plans for these.

Awesome!!

That's a great technique! Ill try that next time, thanks

The grain on that thing is so wild that even the camera had a hard time encoding it correctly!
What's that first track playing in the background? a sweet mix of jazzy and proggy - I love it! the bass work is especially good.
I really like your jointer plane build but I am not good enough to do it on my own! Some plans would be great.
Ok! Ill draw something up and link then in the description. Give me a week or so and ill comment again to let you know!
@@FrankBowlesFurniture Did you have a chance to put together a plan for this?
@@FrankBowlesFurniture beautiful plane! would also love the plans, if ever you got around to drawing them up!
Fantastic video, Is this the 1" by 3.5 " hock blade or the longer 4.5" one?
Thanks! It is the 3.5" Hock iron
@@FrankBowlesFurniture many thanks!
Before you took off all that material I was like that's the smallest blade for the biggest plane lol. Nice work, looks awesome
I think it would been better if you did an opposite angle at the opening so the mouth doesn't open every time you flatten it
Hi, great work as long as the music ;-D one question, what angle do you use for the wedge? 2:9 ratio? Thank you in advance, regards from Buenos Aires
Thanks! I’m not sure of the ratio, but the wedge angle is 5 degrees. I use a wood pattern to trace the angle on the workpiece, then cut it out.
I herd that wenge rears away very quick, is that treu?
I’d say that’s false. I make furniture full time and use my Wenge planes quite often, and they hold up very well.
Beautiful clean job. How long did this take you?
Thanks! I did it over a couple of weeks but this can be made in a weekend.

What kind of wax did you use to mask off the glue lines?
Finally the cutting action has not shown

Lovely project and well explained but video is spoiled for me by the unnecessary music thanks anyway

loose the music next time so we can hear you

My native language isn't English, so I need to concentrate but couldn't finish the video due to the intrusive music; I'm sorry.
Oh shoot im sorry, next video ill lower the volume of the music. Thanks for the input!
@@FrankBowlesFurniture Thanks a lot! Personally I prefer this kind of video without music, but that's one man's opinion.
Don"t need / appreciate the music.
get rid of the fuking background noise
Don’t watch the fucking video
