Hi! How would you proceed if the two sides are not squared to the sole? Whould you flatten one side first and then square the sole to this side and then square the other side to the sole? And how?
hi, great video. can you give me some info on how to choose a secondhand plane? I hear the really old Stanley are good but more recent ones are made out of rubbish steel. what are your thoughts?
Keep working at it? Persevere and you will overcome. Now as for how long that may take that will be down to your aptitude and general abilities. You already have a well defined goal so that's a plus.
Jim Schowe Why would you say that? Lateral forces would more likely than not round the sole rather than flattening it. Straight forward and straight back. Simple and repeatable. KISS formula
I have watched a bunch of these videos and yours was the best and most informative thanks for being concise and thurough
That's the most information in the shortest amount of time I've ever seen on planes. Heading downstairs now to see if I can get mine in to shape.

Thanks for the video. I've watched a bunch of these, and it seems everyone has something different to add.
thats the best video on planes I have seen. thank you for the info!
Great close ups! this was one of my favorite videos to watch when I first started working on hand planes.
Thanks good workmanship I have learnt a lot
Merci buckets, it's nice to watch someone who knows what they are talking about and don't have an attitude.

Great video with really helpful tips!!!
Thank you for explaining how to put this together do you have showed me several good tips thank you keep up the good work
I have never heard the “sharp mouth opening” concept; thank you.
Very informative video and well done. Thanks I learned a lot!
thanks for the clear disassembly
Excellent video. Extremely informative for a novice wood worker. Have you done one on sharpening knife and use proper use of the plane?
Thank you.
This is Garrett Hack, he wrote the book on planes, literally.
great tips thanks for sharing
What grit of sandpaper do you recommend for baseline flattening of old or new plane parts?
120 works well
Start with about 100.
Then go finer once its flat.
If your ocd finish with 1200 lol
Seems like the video ended abruptly...
Right? "The chip breaker needs to be set about a sixteenth off... maybe less if you want. The end."
Can't tell everyone all of your secrets.
Yeah I expected a part about sharpening the iron

If you're not going to use it for shooting, it's not that big of a deal. If that was important to you I think I'd find another plane.
Thanks.

What grit/kind of sandpaper did you use to flatten the bottom?
+Tim Newsome Start with 220 (I use 220 - wet) and work your way up to 600 or 800.
thank you
I do have a question I can’t quite get my blade square any suggestions
Keep working at it? Persevere and you will overcome. Now as for how long that may take that will be down to your aptitude and general abilities. You already have a well defined goal so that's a plus.
Awesome but missed one thing he didn't sharpen the iron blade
He did say he had already done that. This was about tuning the plane, not sharpening the blade... a whole 'nother topic!
i guessed i missed him say that
thanks !!!!!
You do not use oil on diamond stones
Won't hurt it...
@@ctrlaltdebug sure will. It will definitely wear pre maturely
what grit sandpaper?
Read the comment 4 above yours
Says the throat opening should be 1/16", then shows it and it's less than 1/32"...
It would be better if you used an exaggerated figure 8 movement to flatten the sole of the plane.

You could say "Plane-Hacking" ...*cough
