It's a really beautiful job, I've never seen a hand plane like that!! I will try to make it known by sharing your video with my friends carpenters. A big greeting from Argentina!!!
Great video. That was a cool shot with the outdoors in the background. You usually don't see that in woodworking videos. Unless you count Cremona's. But that's all covered in sawdust lol
Great work! I have been meaning to try something like this since I made my last wooden plane. You might want to consider adding a couple of set screws on either side of the plane, opposite the blade, to keep the orientation straight when resetting the blade depth.
this is very good. i've been thinking of building a low angle jack, and i can see how to do it and give it an adjustable mouth. i think the moving piece needs to be 1/8 thicker than the length of the threaded insert, that'll keep the sucker out of sight. thanks
I know it's an old post, but I'll inquire anyways. How is the mahogany plane holding up? I would have thought it was a bit soft to work well for any length of time. Thanks for your videos
Yeah, I know what you mean. I originally made a different knob with a recessed nut on the bottom and nothing on top, but it split. When I made a second one I made it stronger. Function over form on the knob. I coated everything with paste wax. I don't like a cured finish on hand planes. If the sole needs to be re-flattened it makes it more difficult.
I have been watching your videos for awhile now and enjoy them. I realize the Grizzly is a sponsor of yours but I would still like your opinion of the tools. I am 71 and just retired. I have spent the last 7 years working as a civilian contractor for the military in the Persian Gulf and a year before that in Afghanistan. I am going to have a wood working shop and I have set a budget of $15,000.00 for tools that I will be adding to my already limited inventory most of which will be Grizzly. From all of the research I have done they are a tool well worth the investment. As a user of Grizzly tools please give me your honest opinion of them.
I only own one Grizzly tool and that is my 16 inch drum sander. I've had it for a year and a half and it has performed as expected - no complaints; it handles everything I throw at it. I hope to be getting more Grizzly tools in the future.
Dave Harrington ill add that i have the grizzly go555 14" bandsaw and its a beast. i resaw no problem and make bandsaw boxes with no problems. great tool so far!
Excellent bang for your buck is the short answer on Grizzly. I would say, owning a few of their tools myself, that as with many tool manufacturers, be wary of their cheaper stuff. For example, by most accounts the 690 is a hell of a good table saw (and around $700-$800 less than the comparable Jet), but the 715, which I have, has some issues. I wish I had just bit the bullet and spent the extra money. Short answer #2, read lots of reviews.
Love the background music. The plane looks amazing.
I like the design. Notice ya got the gribbers stop... hehe, i've done that a few times.
that is one sweet plane. the adjustable mouth looks like a perfect fit with a similar action to what you would find in high end metal bodied planes
Just freakin awesome Brian. Have never seen a plane like that with an adjustable mouth. Well done!
Thanks Guy. It's tough getting the mouth opening just right in a traditional Krenov. This eliminates that problem completely.
never seen an adjustable mouth on a home made plane before so this was a 1st for me. very nice work brian! love the way it looks👍🍻🖒

Thank you.
Brilliant. I will have to think about how to do that without all the floor tools. Thanks.
Great video. That was a cool shot with the outdoors in the background. You usually don't see that in woodworking videos. Unless you count Cremona's. But that's all covered in sawdust lol
Great looking plane, Brian, love the adjustable mouth.
Very very nice work Brian
Nice and thanks showing wood planer
Top notch Brian, love the plane.
Very nice handmade plane, nice skills & impressive innovation 👍🏻
Thank you.

That's not a bad idea. I might do that.

Awesome plane Brian ! very nice
Great build.
I know it's an old post, but I'll inquire anyways. How is the mahogany plane holding up? I would have thought it was a bit soft to work well for any length of time. Thanks for your videos
Mahogany has a janka hardness of 800-900. Not that soft.
awesome this is going in my stuff to try list 👍
Well done
Just got to your channel, nice work!
That nut on the knob is killing me. Other than that, nicely done. No finish?
Yeah, I know what you mean. I originally made a different knob with a recessed nut on the bottom and nothing on top, but it split. When I made a second one I made it stronger. Function over form on the knob. I coated everything with paste wax. I don't like a cured finish on hand planes. If the sole needs to be re-flattened it makes it more difficult.
Out of curiosity do you have plans for it?
Unfortunately I do not.
Great work man!
What plane is this?
Excellent...
Cheers...
Making a Krenov plane with all those machines... something got lost in translation!
How good is your English?
very nice
Nice!
Liked. Subscribed. Etc. You're awesome!
Thank you.

Dave Harrington Get the expensive ones because they will actually last. I have a used grizzly bench sander and drill press and they are reliable
very kuhl!
