Here is my first attempt of building a hand plane with mouth closer. To understand how the mouth closer works watch this video: ruclips.net/video/4mfd_YmOI2M/видео.html The basic desing is classic mitre plane, but the blade is bevel down, like in wooden strike-block planes. I set the blade extremely low - 33 deg angle - for long time it was my small obsession to check how it will works. Today i know, it works preety well :) It was very instructive project for me and takes me for another level in my planemaking. I hope you will like it :) Materials: Pear wood Black locust wood An old laminated plane blade made by Heinr Mueller Boiled linseed oil Shellac orange. If you have any questions or sugestions just write a comment. Enjoy!
Watching your videos is the equivalent to drinking fine wine or eating a gourmet dessert for me. Many thanks to you. I look forward to seeing your next one.
I wish I could like your videos more than once. Skill, style, and artistry all in one. Beautiful work and perfect function. Thank you for allowing us to watch.
Beautiful workmanship . Takes talent and patience to create a tool like this . I suspect a level of metalworking here as well .Never heard of black Locust wood . Looks really dense and hard . Perfect.
You're the best, Mr. Gakos! You make this look so easy, but it's because you have such finely-honed skills and a true appreciation for wood and steel. Thanks for sharing.
Every time I watch one of your builds I learn something. Today, rounding over corners using bevels. From today forward, systematic corners! Love the plane. As always thank you for sharing, I love your builds.
I have used brass bar stock for mouth closers in a couple of my planes. I have seen wood used but have not built any myself. Beautiful work as expected from you. I build the bulk of my planes from found material or Canada hard rock maple and American walnut. The blades I make from A2 oil hardening tool steel. I usually give them away to very deserving people. If anyone ask, then the answer is no.
Ferken brilliant - what fabulous execution - you have an intuition and a tralent for what is essentially a british/scottish (mathieson) art - I so dig and understand this - I have a trove/treasure of mathieson planes (I am not English but I love their woodworking planes/art and I can tune them and use them and it is a joy - you do them justice - you have a gift - I love your work - I am so glad that a young guy can appreciate all of this - they are essentially a redundant technology but a magnificent testiment to craftsmen - thank you.
I like your ideas very much and how you work - most without power tools. You gave me good inspirations. I still have some good old plane blades in my shop and the nights are dark, my handsaw is sharp and one of my neighbours has a pear tree in his garden...😉
Bardzo ciekawy strug, nie widziałem jeszcze takiego. Sprawuje się bardzo dobrze przy struganiu pokręconego drewna, i pewnie do tego został stworzony. Że mistrzowskie wykonanie to wiadomo, wszyscy widzieli. Ciekawe, jaki będzie następny?
Recently found your videos and they are captivating. Good pace, satisfying sound, really great craftsmanship. I collect and use antique woodworking tools. I can really appreciate what you are doing.
Well, after seeing you fix your old one, I had to look up this one. I am surprised that you would use pear as most of what I get here in Oregon is not really hard enough, but love the way it works. Also, I am wondering if you fumed that black locust. I have never seen it that dark. Most of what I see is green when fresh cut, and goes to a nice amber color when exposed to sun light. Love your work!
Dude, that ash burl is some of the prettiest wood I've ever seen. The sadness of the Pacific Northwest is that while high on cedar and a few others, we have little access to good hardwoods. I have to use the local branch of a Canadian distributor to get anything worthwhile.
Beautiful work Stavros! I just came into posession of a piece of 3 inch thick white oak. I'm hoping to make a plane or 2 out of it. Doubt they'll look as good as anything you've made, though.
Every time I watch your build I am speechless and amazed. You get that feeling of "never wanting it to end". Smooth, precise and every detail fits perfectly! Im not a woodworker like most of you, you can even say I am not a one. So I am interested, I mean a question. Why do u remove the middle of the blade wedge, Is it so there is no chance of shavings going under and jamming cuz u cant tighten it from its face like metal one or something else? 🤔🤔
Great craftsmanship as always, you're an inspiration. I'm fairly new to woodworking, and planemaking (tools in general) has really caught my eye, so I've couple questions about this project - What's the reasoning behind not using a cap iron? - What particular uses is a mitre plane o strike-block plane good for?
Po Twoich filmach aż się chce iść do kanciapy coś postrugać ;) jak zwykle doskonała robota Eso ;) strasznie mi się podoba obróbka tej gruszy....taka "mydlana" ;) no chyba że to kwestia dłut ostrych jak brzytwa :)
Kosmos as zwykle, ten strug to must mieć someday ;) pięknie to struga skręty, ja to nie mam jeszcze techniki ale żem raz zrobił takie wyrwania swoim no62 że teraz wiem po co się ustawa usta w strugu ;) pozdrawiam
Recently found your channel Stavros; I watch the RUclips through my firestick, so I had to come over to my PC and log on to comment. I am a fan of your work. Just great. By the way, I watched you remove the 'mushrooming' on that plane iron with a hacksaw. Is the blade in your hacksaw a special type of blade? Liked and subbed. Cheers John in UK.
I love it, awsome hopefully I can make one of those . thank you please keep making other ones . like the one ( don't remember the name) that when go cross the plane of the wood instead of wood chips it's a long curl that when tie together it's use to start a fire in the fire place
this build is sim0ply fantastic!!! Could i ask for an entry level planemaking project, like a jack plane or a jointer? i ask the permission to ask because i find your contents more "hands-on" no non-sense. Im sure much more people would follow planemaking projects...
Lovely shellac finish! I think this blade angle might just also work well for a shooting board. Or will it work the blade out of the body during use? Are you a self tought or schooled woodworker?
Thanks mate! I'm self taught. It will works very good on the shooting board but it's not the purpose for that plane. For shooting board i'm gonna build big mitre plane with skewed blade, steel sole and steel side. Regards!
Dzięki Grzegorz! Już wiem tylko udaję, że nie wiem hehe A tak na poważnie, do tej pracy można użyć elektronarzędzi, ale tylko do pewnego momentu, później są bezużyteczne a zwykłe stare dłuto przerobione na blunt chisel staje się niezastąpione. Pozdrawiam!
