Stavros, you are single-handedly reviving the lost skills of wooden plane making and I love it. I have read a lot of books and watched some old videos but you demystify the process. Thank you.
Hello! Some of you noticed on my instagram that i'm preparing few pairs of sliding dovetail hand planes. It would be the same kind of planes as i made in my first video of my channel, but this time they will be normal size. The planes will work in pairs - left plane and right plane for booth directions of cutting. If you dont know how i made the boxing on this plane blanks just watch my previous video. As usually i decided to make video of bulding process, but as one part it would be to long so i decided to make it in 3 parts. Every step is decsribed on the timeline so you can easly read what i'm doing in any moment of the video. I hope you will like it! Regards!
Thank you, Gakos! As a update, my first two trys of plane making fail. The first one I take to much of one parte of the escapment and the other I aim the bed at 55° and end at 60°, but I will continue to try!
Greetings from the high plains of Texas. I am building a new router plane while also building a new shelving unit for my sons bedroom. My son and I are also finishing up a new kindling box of curly maple for a family at church. Thank you for keeping me inspired to make some saw dust. We pray that you and your family stay healthy during these times.
P.S. I love your drill press. I have a 1914-15 Yankee drill press with self feeding. It doesn’t have some of the features yours has but makes a similarly pleasing sound.
Your work is so organized and neat. Your work reminds me of the old timers - "Make it well the first time, and it will serve you well". Thankyou for sharing your time with us!
I am sipping coffee here in south Texas, thinking... Sir, I have long believed the "old" countries held the greatest crafts-persons. Thanks for proving my point! Your are like a genius beaver! lol... Wish you were a neighbor. Keep you and yours safe in these uncertain times.
Aaaaa Another plane/pair of planes I want to make. And thank you so much for having some very clear video of the processes, it really helps with learning how to do stuff like this. Still mad jealous of your drill press, too ;)
I'm back because I forgot to leave a comment. This is it : COMMENT ! I understand it helps with the RUclips metrics and such. The very best content as usual :-)
Thank you Gakos, I don't know if you read my post on instagram or not but I'm glad you used the hand cranked drill press again. I have the same one but have no clue how it should work. I'm slowly repairing it. This helped alot! Thank you very much!
I'm back lol As you was marking it out I was lost hahaha Can't wait to see you finish them and know they'll be beautiful tools as always Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
IT would be so nice if you make a Video about you're drillpress! I've never seen something like this before but it's a pleasure to See you working with it.
Do you have any advice for solving issues with plane tracks? Also, love your videos, you’ve inspired me to start making and selling planes myself. I hope to be as talented of a craftsman as you one day. Thanks.
@@StavrosGakos Thanks for responding. I keep having little grooves on my surfaces created by the corner of the blade. I hope you know what I mean. Even with the lightest cut I can take, I still get these, and the only thing I can do is painstaking plane or scrape them out. I was just wondering if you had any ideas for solutions. Thanks again.
You know if you count the video where you put the boxwood edging on then you could call this video 2 of 4. I for one can’t wait for the finished products. Love your plane builds
This is a great video and all, but what it REALLY needs is several dozen more timestamps in the description :P What would actually work well is making those timestamps into captions. Many YT channels like this one that don't have narration use captions.
👏🏻as always a master at work. Still no finger snap??? Amazing work, I love how you set out your work with the worst looking pencils and pens Still your planes speak for themselves Can’t wait for the next parts then some dovetailed boxing 🥰
@@StavrosGakos you are right, too much of a good thing is bad. Next time you do I’ll be like ‘yeah whoop whoop’ It makes me smile 😊 Can’t wait on dovetailed boxing...amazing Just started making my own planes, well jointing metal. Managed a dovetailed brass and steel, peened. Next the tongue and groove for the sole Then who knows an infill mitre plane??? I wish you luck my friend, keep making awesome vids
@@StavrosGakos ahh just get that, yes I pop into Instagram No I don’t post stuff, well not yet. Been getting lots of support on FB unplugged woodworkers Bill Carter is a member, he’ll give advise when needed.
Hi, I have cut a blank to make these. I thought a one inch blade would be good, but trying to figure out the overall starting dimensions. Could you help me with that please? Thank you in advance
It depends what kind of steel CNC can cut (it is calibrated for each steel to get good results). First ask what kind of steel they can cut, later find it. Better option can be watercutting but it would be more expensive. Almost every knifemaking shop have few kinds of steel wich can be used for plane blade. Cheers!
@@StavrosGakos właśnie zaintrygował mnie niski kąt ostrzenia. Mam kilka ale dużo większych. Kilka wygrzebałem ze stodoły nieopodal, a jedną całkiem nową ale z lat 70 tych kupiłem na targu z kurczakami, gołębiami i chińską bielizną za całe 10 pln. Ale one wszystkie raczej są ostrzone na ~ 45* a tu masz ze 20 może. Aż korci mnie przeostrzyć którąś tak nisko, bo szczerze to nigdy nimi nic nie zrobiłem, bo kultura pracy żadna.
Dzięki Krzysiek! Jakiś czas temu zdecydowałem, że nie będę przyjmować zamówień. Mam zamiar oferować to co zrobię, to umożliwi mi bycie bardziej zorganizowanym :) pozdrowienia!
@@StavrosGakos lovely 💡idea. I had this type, used them once or twice but seeing you making them has given me the full utility knowledge of them, hopefully I also make one first and then the other. Regards.

Very Nice!!! Great Video!!! Somehow I missed this one. Now onto PT 2!!! Thank You!!!!😎👍😃
I must admit that this drill press is something I covet each time you use it.
Slow and precise, sharp bits don't need speed. Nice piece of kit, quiet too.
Same. An extremely sensitive-seeming tool. I LIKE my drill press, but I would LOVE that one.
Ditto, I love tools that utilise ergonomic mechanics as opposed to electricity. I've never come across one in person.
I cringe every time he starts to drill with that drill press!
As do I! I have a 1940s electric press, but one like his would do nicely in my shop. I wonder who makes that model?

Great work I can't wait to see parts 2 and 3. The boxing video showed how precise you are. The jigs to mark and drill plane angles is pure genius.
Thanks Richard!

Great work! Love your drill press!
Fajnie ogarnąłeś tą małą linię produkcyjna. Pozowlę sobie zapierdzielić kilka rozwiązań do produkcji moich znaczników :-)
Dzięki stary, zapierdziel co chcesz :)
@@StavrosGakos uważaj bo przyjedzie i zapierdzieli wiertarkę :P
Mam dwie 😉
Interesting to see the use of jigs and lay-out tools! Very industrious, great video!
Thanks Will!
Another great work in progress video. I like the jig you made for your pillar drill, simple and effective. 👍👏
Thanks Paul!
Sama przyjemność oglądać fachowca w pracy.
Pozdrawiam
Dziękuję Adam :) pozdrowienia
Aaaaa
Another plane/pair of planes I want to make.
And thank you so much for having some very clear video of the processes, it really helps with learning how to do stuff like this.
Still mad jealous of your drill press, too ;)
Thanks Vincent!
oglądam twoja pracę od jakiegoś czasu
Jesteś Artysta w swoim fachu....
Pozdrawiam z Konina
Dziękuję :) pozdrowienia z Brodnicy!
Looks like you're in full on production mode. Making a whole bunch of beauties.
Yup, small bunch ;)
Your manual drill press is amazing. I love it, and all your projects also. Congrats
Thanks Peiro!
I'm back because I forgot to leave a comment.
This is it : COMMENT !
I understand it helps with the RUclips metrics and such.

Hey Reuben! I wrote to you on ig
Batching them out good friend! Liking the workflow!
Your videos are increasingly getting better and better at quality!
I hope a pair of them are for me!
I do enjoy watching you make your planes.
Waiting for part 2 and 3 and those plane to be sold or as a gift to a lucky friend???just notice that your making bunch of them...kudos..stay safe..
Thanks! One pair of them will be for sale, check the description of the video :)
This is called the small series. Beautiful work like usely. Thank's.
Teraz to mała fabryczka, aż miło popatrzeć jak pracujesz, ale dla mnie najlepsza będzie trzecia część filmu. Już nie mogę się doczekać!
I'm back lol
As you was marking it out I was lost hahaha
Can't wait to see you finish them and know they'll be beautiful tools as always
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
I could never make 8 like that in row. I would end up making some critical mistake and carrying it through all the pieces and then crying.
Practice makes perfect!
really enjoying this series. Amazing work.
Aż miło oglądać... Świetna robota, dzięki za kolejny film.
Pozdrawiam
Dziękuję Adam :) pozdrowienia!
jak zwykle ogląda się z przyjemnością
Dzięki!
IT would be so nice if you make a Video about you're drillpress! I've never seen something like this before but it's a pleasure to See you working with it.
Beautiful, meticulous work, as always, Stavros. I really like your mortise chisel: did you make it yourself? Can’t wait for the next installments!
Thanks! That was an ordinary chisel with squared sides, i just rebuild it :) i can make a video about it if you want.
Just discovered your channel a couple of days ago and it is awesome!!!!
Welcome Michael!
Do you have any advice for solving issues with plane tracks? Also, love your videos, you’ve inspired me to start making and selling planes myself. I hope to be as talented of a craftsman as you one day. Thanks.
Hey Ben, thank you :) What kind of plane tracks do you mean? Regards!
@@StavrosGakos Thanks for responding. I keep having little grooves on my surfaces created by the corner of the blade. I hope you know what I mean.

You sir are a god. I look forward to all of you videos.
Question, have you ever considered to using a fine ball point pen to mark out lines?
Yes, sometimes i use it 👍
You know if you count the video where you put the boxwood edging on then you could call this video 2 of 4. I for one can’t wait for the finished products. Love your plane builds
I take that video as boxing theme :) thanks!
Cómo siempre excelente trabajo , esperando con impaciencia la parte 2/3 ,un saludo cordial y por supuesto un gran like desde Narón, Galicia (España)
Thank you! Regards:)

👏🏻as always a master at work.
Still no finger snap???
Amazing work, I love how you set out your work with the worst looking pencils and pens

Finger snap works when is rarely used 😉 dovetailed boxing is high on my list 👍 thanks!

Ło Panie, toż to prawdziwa manufaktura już :)
What is the other piece of wood that makes up the bottom of these blanks and how is that added?
Hey David, you can find the answer in the video no 046. Cheers
the next part will reveal the wonders
Gakos, you're a master!
That was a fun watch and can't wait to see the next instalments. Did you make the pig sticker (mortise chisel) at 7:07?
Thanks Andrew! It was rebuild of an old flat chisel with squared sides :)
Do you have a recipe that shows which layout jigs to use and in what order?
I showed it in the video 👍
👍👍👍
compliments. what wood is it?
Thanks! Brech, boxwood and pear
Hello! What are the dimensions of the plane body? And the bed angle?
Hey, about 240/85/20, 50deg

How long did making these dovetail planes take from beginning to end?
About 4 months of my free time
Proof that the tools do not make the craftsperson: that is one FAT pencil you're doing otherwise VERY precise layout with.
Bardzo fajne oprzyrządowanie stworzyłeś. Czy można już składać zamówienia na strugi ?

Beech, pear and boxwood
Are these planes for sale?
