Today i decided to start new series of videos. I call it "Planes for planemaking". I'm gonna build some moving fillisters with dovetailed boxing (the same as in 0:21-0:45) so it's time to prepare another tools that i need for this project. Some of you probably think "hey, you can do it with any router.." and you have right, but if i want to build it only with my hand tools i can't use it. My router is the best in catching dust. In this project i'm gonna build grooving plane wich will help me to cut a female part of the joint. For the body i used spalted beech, for boxing boxwood (if you dont know what it is go to description of 046 video), NCV1 steel for the iron. The finish was preety simple - one coat of boiled linseed oil and two coats of antique oil. Oh, for gluening i use hide glue. Very often you ask me about my stamps. The smaller one was made by grawernia dot pl and is hardened so i can use it on metals. Two bigger stamps were made by Mirock's Toolworks as one stamp. It was a real challange to use so big stamp so i decided to cut it in half and make two. I hope you will like this video, i know it is quite long but i can't show you less :) If you are new here please consider subscribtion for more. Cheers!
Dear Mr Gakos, I would be interested to know how you made the small saws and files. Do you have any video material that you could publish? Thank you Guntram.
Thank you for this! I have had a question about boxing for a couple of years and hopefully you know the answer! I see the plane you made is to make the groove for boxing, what was used in the past to make the tiny sliding dovetails that was used to attach the boxing in some cases. The dovetail is so small that I cant imagine it was made by a plane, but maybe I am wrong. I was hoping you would follow up this video with another one showing the tool used to change the grooves to dovetails.
I wish you went into business selling your planes, you could make lots of money and set standards in workmanship. If you ever do, I'll be first in line ready to disburse a significant amount =)
Having a short out of body experience here: I didn't want to spend 25 minutes watching netflix, but I just gladly spent 39 minutes watching Stavros Gakos skillfully work this beautiful piece of spalted beech. Thank you for sharing!
I just called my boss. It’s nearly nine PM here in north Texas where we have few trees. Mostly scrub pines and city trees like oaks, pecan and mulberry. The high plains of the American west are not conducive to growing trees. It’s to windy, hot, cold and unpredictable for them to become very large or healthy. So I called my boss in the hill country of Texas where there are many different kinds of hardwoods like live oak, bowdark, and mesquite. It looks like I will be making a trip south to load my trailer with these woods for boxing on my plains. Then bring them home to mill and dry. The bowdark or mesquite will make nice boxing. These are the closest equivalent in my region. Thank you Stavros for continuing to inspire us all. Greetings from the high plains of Texas.
I think I speak for a lot of us hand tool freaks....... dont worry about the length of video, I could watch you work your magic for hours Stavros :) I am gonna enjoy this new series!!
I love what you do I have learned so much I have made my own 3/4 in rabbit plane and a 28 in jointer I think the part of your vids that I look forward to the most is where you show a closeup of the shaving, do not stop doing that. I always look closely at the shavings I make. Using a hand plane makes your soul feel good.
Lol! I love how you put in your meal along with the blade. Why not? Beautiful craftsmanship! It's super relaxing to watch you work too, thanks for sharing!
I get a lot of video notifications, but yours are the ones that I click on without hesitation. Bravo! I can't wait to see what you do with the dove tail for it.
How many of us would go to all the trouble of making a plane just for the purpose of making one piece of another plane? .....as I look over at my tablesaw... these videos are some amazing work 👌
This just made my day amazing attention to detail, yet another beautiful plane cant wait to see the boxing and the dovetail cuts back to basics writing on wood and letting the tools do the talking and the occasional finger snap you've never needed background music or fancy descriptions the sound that plane made at the end was epic absolutely love it 💙💙💙
I’m a total hypocrite as most of my tools are modern, especially my planes, but it’s great to see these old tools being used, and to do beautiful work in the hands of a true craftsman is really inspiring.
This is one of the things that no one expects when they first get into having their own shop that relies upon hand tools - the making of tools in order to make tools that make other tools. Many life ambitions and plans have been scuttled by the 1, 3, 6 or more month diversions necessary for one to reach the point of even starting in a new direction. This is why each of us has some aspect of our shop in a condition we don't want to talk about, meaning in a poor starter's condition, basic and in desperate need of upgrading. For me, it's my table and tool storage. I have intentionally neglected those for decades in order to advance in other areas as what I have accommodates enough fine work and rough / general carpentry work equally. As I age, however, and begin to do less rough work the need for a better bench and storage increase as the need to make such preliminary tools decreases. Thank you and God bless you for putting this video out because there really is a need for new woodworkers to understand what awaits them down the road. You've made the process seem fun and engaging, leaving out the parts where you lie awake at night fighting with near panic attacks over being behind, not knowing where to start, juggling a dozen options and calculating the worth of everything you do and have done so far in life - ie the truly sucky parts that explain why most of us who pursue such career paths don't own handguns or keep long lengths of rope at hand :)
After watching this video, I am reminded of a phrase that goes something like this "You ever feel like life is a tuxedo, and you're just a pair of brown shoes". LOL Brilliant work!
Stavros you do beautiful work!! I would sit and watch you work for hours so don't worry about the length of your videos. And I don't think I am alone. All I can say is BRAVO!!!!! Thank you for taking us along. Stay safe and be well.
Stawros excelente tutorial muy bien desarrollado y mejor ejecutado , un poco largo para mí gusto , lo ideal sería 15 minutos , es difícil de comprimir el arte ,te a quedado una estupenda herramienta , gracias por compartir tanta creatividad y conocimientos , un saludo cordial y por supuesto un gran like desde Narón , Galicia (España) 🤓 😜
I am amazed by your tool making abilities and the craftsmanship that it takes to be a maker. And if you only had to do that you are plenty skilled but you are a great photographer and editor as well. You have inspired me to make some tools. I plan to make an infill mallet this winter of brass and walnut. I doubt that I will video it. Be well.
Thank you, it's about time someone did something like this new series you're doing. I just wished I had your skill at hand making. It's always truly enjoyable to watch your videos and your skill. Cheers :)
Stavros - good to see you maintaining an ancient tradition. Although we don't have any examples, historians think that the Greeks invented the plane - "rhykane" from which the Roman term "runcina" derives. We have several Roman planes here in Britain and it is interesting to see how similar they are to planes of the modern period. I have just subscribed and look forward to seeing more of your work.
Hello enjoyed this video I like to see your guide blocks you use for your chisel work. Could you show all of the floats you have to get an idea what we need to make to make planes? I am retired tool and die maker for 40years and enjoy seeing and learning new skills is exciting.Thank you for your work!
Great and beautiful work as always. It’s interesting that you don’t use any lubricant on your sharpening stones. It’s a lot less messy that way, and you can sharpen directly on your bench.
Another excellent video, Stavros. I wonder how you make those tapered files you use for cleaning out the channels for the wedge. Can you do a video on them?
They are called floats. You tube has how-to-make if you want to DIY. Or you can purchase them from Philly planes and others including E bay where they might be called gunsmiths floats. If E bay or DIY you will need to sharpen it before use.
I love watching your videos but one thing has always puzzled me - how did you acquire the knowledge of how to make all these hand planes ? Or, how do you work out what you need to do to make a particular plane ? I have tried looking for any detailed information in writing but cannot find any - have you ever considered writing a book on how to learn to make carpentry planes ? Also, at around the 3.00 mark, you used a little wooden cut out to draw the lines on the salted beech - what is it and how do I get/make one ?
Thank you! Reading, watching, working - that's all where my "knowlege" come from. At 3:00 was my selfmade jig to draw the angles of bed and abutment, 50 and 60 deg. Cheers!
Dear Mr Gakos, I would be interested to know how you made the small saws and files. Do you have any video material that you could publish? Thank you Guntram.

Stunning work. It's poetry, it really is. So now you need to make a pair of dovetail grooving planes to job share with this one. How's your garden coming along btw?
so wait, if I understand the description correctly, if I follow this series I will end up making a bunch of planes for making planes? Is this going to be step-by-step or sort of as-needed for you?
Hi, your experience in planemaking makes me hope you can answer a question I have which is related to this video. The boxing you made will fit into the 2 grooves in the plane, and you just showed how to make the "mother plane" for making these grooves. I have seen lots of old planes where the boxing was not slid into grooves, but tiny dovetails, maybe 3-4 mm. Is there a separate plane to make these tiny sliding dovetails? They are just so small that I can't imagine a sliding dovetail plane being able to make them. Thanks!
Yahuuul! I'm really looking forward for this new series, Gakos! This one is absolutely nice and well made! This means the next one will be a moving fillister? Seems like so... Cheers from Brazil!
Great work and another wonderful and beautiful plane. Do you still have the video for making the "Saw /File", for the tools that you use in this video?
I just re-watched this, I can't get over that gorgeous spalted beechwood. Did you ever use this in combination with the paired dovetail planes to create a sliding dovetailed boxed plane sole? (Gosh that last sentence is a mouthful!)

@@StavrosGakos I'm waiting thorough
The plane to make a plane turned out beautiful, the spalted wood has such character. When sharpening, are you using sand paper glued to mdf? Thank you
Thank you Kevin! You got an eye - sand paper on MDF 👍
But how do you create the dovetailing on the grooves, like in case of the original moving fillister?
Wait for another plane for this job :)
40 minutes went by like 5. The longer the video, the more fun we have.
Question. Why is the rabbet cut and then a spline glued in? What is it for? Thanks
Hey, this is called "boxing". Please check the description of my 046 video.
Is there a reason other than looks for chosing the spalted beech for this? Isn’t spalted «weaker» than regular beech wood?
There is no other reason. Yes, it is a little bit softer than regular beech but still good to use 👍
Great work and another wonderful and beautiful plane. Do you still have the video for making the "Saw /File", for the tools that you use in this video?
Thanks! I don't have it, sorry. Only few posts on the instagram
It sure would be nice if these people making the videos had a voice so you would have more insight as to why and how they were making the plane.
How to make grooving plane to curve?
What are you using to lap the iron? I see the diamond plates but what about with the higher grits?
Hey i have diamond plate 400/100 and pieces of MDF with sand paper 1000, 3000, 5000, 7000 👍
