Wow! I'm glad I stumbled onto your video before attempting to ruin a block plane blade. 😂 Please share more Poor Man's working tools. Sending warmest greetings from across the pond (San Francisco Bay Area, California, USA 🇺🇸) Thanks for sharing, mate!
I very much appreciate the poor man's tools series after a lifetime of working offsite, never having my own workshop, limited tools or being outside in my dad's trade; gardening and landscaping. Tree work and assembly/fabrication with wood was common, always in the rough. My Dad did not like me going off site to get my own materials, even when out of my own pocket, so you could not just pop off to the ironmongers (which was often miles away anyway), and there was no internet or screwfix yet. Therefore you had to make do and mend with what you had to get the job done. I definitely always have a junior hacksaw and spare blades in my general toolbox, therefore fabricating a toothing plane to key wooden surfaces would be easy, and as demonstrated, does the exact diamond striations you look for in any good keyed surface. As ever, thanks for your tutorials and sharing of thoughts and work, to me they are the best woodworking videos on here.
Another big step up from Mr Sellers. I have a toothing plane iron lacking the plane body, which we've used for years to claw at our substrate while trying to smile about the gruesome results; meanwhile all along there was this great solution waiting patiently, in our case possibly forever, but not anymore - now it's payday. Thanks very much.
hi paul i made a poor mans router, just as you described and i have used it to cut rebates in the back of a recycled wood picture frame, and after i learned how to handle it it works perfectly, thank you...PS the body was a piece of pallet wood picked up from outside my sons business where people leave old pallets for passer by recyclers.
Great way to get the job done, You're a wealth of information and never lacking to get the point across, Thank You. I am now thinking of this tool method to breaking down old oil paint finish i have on the house trim.
Sublime! Already made the Poor's Man chair devil: still some tweaking to do but does the work pretty impressevely and learnt doing it. Cheers for all that you do, and your team. We will have to clone you!
I made my own toothing plane a few years ago. I used a dremel cut-off disc to make fine grooves side by side length wise on an ordinary plane-iron. It takes patience and a steady hand to do it. Accentuate the grooves as much as you want. The cut-off disc tends to stay in the rut once you make the first pass. You can stick masking tape to mark the lines 1mm apart or whatever distance by eye. The grooves may not be perfectly parallel but the end result is the same. But honestly i find that 60 grit sandpaper on a block, works just as well and the adhesion is the same.
Fantastic! You have the best ideas! I never seem to have the right tool when I need it and this would be a perfect remedy. Thanks for another great video!
What about taking an extra iron for you No 4 & cherrying it up with a torch then notch it with a V file & then cherry again & temper in dirty oil? Very cool Idea Paul.. Gary/Hk
"Car Boot Sale" in the states, we refer to that as the trunk. I presume this refers to the folks who set up in a parking lot and sell old stuff they have lying around, similar to a garage sale?
I'm thinking it would be a good idea to keep that powder in a marked container. You never know when you could use it to mix with glue to color a glue line, for an inlay, perhaps.. [edited for spelling]
There are new ones from EC Emmerich No 108 S it costed me about 60 pounds and it is excellent. (Well, to me their all products i have tried are superb).
Yeah, I guess it just me. I had an relative who fought in world war two. He first entered Europe in Italy, and fought all the way to Berlin. When he spoke to the Italians, they said, "Sure we look bad, but if you get to know the English, they are actually worse." Every country he entered, the citizens echoed the same belief. When he was in Germany, they said the same thing. "Get to know the English, and you will see that they are actually, worse." He said he knew a lot English, and they seemed okay to him. He didn't know what they were talking about. He than said, when the Russians were entering Germany, everyone fled to surrender to English troops. He said there was this one German passenger ship load to five times it maximum, and they were all trying to get to English held Germany to surrender. The Russians Torpedo the ship, killing everyone on board. I guess it was a long time ago.
Kiki Lang I don't disagree with you. There's a reason we are a separate island from the rest of the EU. And that's because we generally don't have the warmth and family-oriented lifestyle that many European countries have. It must be all the rain. Still though, you don't have to talk to anyone to see the countryside.
I SEE, It has to do with the angle of the iron.. Gonna make me an toothing iron for my No 80 scraper from the many many that grandpa had in his stash..

Paul with an electric drill (-: Looks very unusual.
I'd say it would, but I never tried veneering yet. I also have got another idea for a toothing plane. I'd simply put a piece of broken jigsaw blade into slot cut in a piece of scrap wood. Just for testing. :)
William, I was taught to never sand a glue surface. The explanation was that sanding produces fuzzy surface fibers, which are very weak. When glue bonds to the fuzz, the resulting bond is only as strong as the fuzz and will fail.

love the "poor man" tool segments. keep them coming Paul, you Rock!

A beautiful day, a cup of freshly brewed strong coffee (no cream or sugar) and your fantastic videos! What a way to start my day! Thank you, Sir!
You, Mr. Sellers, are the best woodworking teacher I have come across. Thank you for teaching us how to make these inexpensive shop-made tools.
Iever get tired of watching paul. I watch and learn for hour after hour. keep up the good work paul. thanks.

Thanks very much.
Another WOW moment with Mr. Sellers.
Love the countersink bit you used. I prefer your design more then the original. It looks more comfortable and less cumbersome.
You have the most amazing ideas and very easy to follow. I make these tools you describe and use them in my shop, Thankyou!

I've used every one of your poor mans tips and they are all great. Thank you so much for them
Love your tilted shelves in behind you holding the hand planes. Love the channel! Subbed.
Excellent presentation! Very useful education. Thank you.
Great way to get the job done, You're a wealth of information and never lacking to get the point across, Thank You.

I really enjoy your videos Paul. I hope they keep coming for a long time. Thank you.
Very usful and rewarding tips.Thankyou.
Always a wealth of information. Thanks Paul.
Thanks for sharing great trick.I will use this in making my bamboo & hickory long bows.

Very cool Idea Paul..
Gary/Hk
Thank you so much Paul for sharing your tips. Just wish I could at least sweep up around the shop ! lol
Any man who can draw 2 straight lines with 1/64 difference between them is a real woodworker.
Although I do have a toothing plane, I love this idea!
Thank you for a great idea to add to my tools.
Now I need a toothing plane. Didn't need one 14 minutes ago, =0)
Thanks for another great video.
Simple and effective. Amazing.

+GC some woodworkers do keep quantity of sawdust around for making putty, glue does tend to lighten the putty though
Exciting as usual!
There are new ones from EC Emmerich No 108 S it costed me about 60 pounds and it is excellent. (Well, to me their all products i have tried are superb).
Thank YOU
Thanks I have been looking for one I saw one in very good shape but they wanted $70.00 US I think I will give your tip a try.
You should have a poor man's section
It looks like a damned good use for broken hacksaw blades.
Last I checked Lee Valley Tools at least sold a replacement blade that was toothed, even if they didn't sell it with a body.
Elegant!
oh man i love you
I wonder if you could use a hacksaw blade broken to length?
Quid? Thanks, good video.
Kiki Lang its slang for a pound (the currency)
***** Thanks, didn't know. always wanted to go to the U.K. before it joined E.U.
+Kiki Lang Only before it joined the E.U? England hasn't come under communist rule you know, you can still visit anytime you like lol

hacksaw blade?
Would 60 grit sandpaper work well enough, to rough the surface for veneer adhesion?
I'd say it would, but I never tried veneering yet. I also have got another idea for a toothing plane. I'd simply put a piece of broken jigsaw blade into slot cut in a piece of scrap wood. Just for testing. :)
William, I was taught to never sand a glue surface. The explanation was that sanding produces fuzzy surface fibers, which are very weak. When glue bonds to the fuzz, the resulting bond is only as strong as the fuzz and will fail.
I had a toothing plane a few years ago before i was into woodwork. I sold it on ebay. How much do i regret that. Gutted
Why not just a quick swipe with a piece of 60 grit?
Robert Schulke because it's not the same. Sandpaper smoothes no matter what, the toothing plane leaves little crosscut ridges.
you can easily buy a 40 euro one with amazon prime from pinie planes cz. still, this is even cheaper
Just throw a cat at that piece of wood and it'll tooth the wood for ya...
sth128 If you are attaching paper backed veneer to substrate of ply, should you always do the toothing thing rather than smooth sandpaper?
Thanks Paul!
