Making a Knob Without a Lathe for a hand plane
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 авг 2019
- We are making a knob for a Stanley 10 1/4 hand plane this knob needs to be able to lean side to side. though I do have a lathe I decided to show how to do it without a lathe. with an all hand tools workshop, this is fairly easy. for woodworking tools we will mostly use files and rasps as well as a couple carving gouges.

"Everything in the shop is just a jig to hold a chisel". Amen! Thank you for another beautiful demonstration!
thanks Tom. there is always another way yo do it!
After a really crappy, stressful day I started to watch this. Between the music and the sound of the rasp, I was dead asleep four minutes in and had to start over when I woke up, much less stressed. I love this kind of video.
LOL thanks! it is the best part of woodworking for me!
3:26 taping one side of the rasp to prevent from getting rasped away was very clever!
You learn something new everyday!
the sound effects are one of the best things on the internet right, really brought a smile to my face ;)
LOL thanks! trying to keep a bit of humor in it!
They confused the f**k out of my dog, who was already fairly interested in the rasp noises.
I really appropriate how gentle and calm this video is. I feel like im right there with you in meditation and wood working.
thanks! that is what I try for!
I liked the idea of putting tape on part of the file so it only cuts in one area. 👍
thanks. wish I could take credit for it.
That and the tape on the hand saw too.
The dad joke at the end sealed the deal. Thumbs up dude.
Lol thanks. I use to start the video with a joke but...
Thank You ! I just knew there had to be a way,just didn't have time to try myself.You have saved me a bunch of time and material.
Thank you James. I can’t wait to finally use this plane. I really appreciate you doing this for me. I feel like this plane is even better now that it will have a custom tote and knob. It now holds more sentimental value to me than ever. Not only do I own a rare hand plane but I own the only one in existence with a custom Wood by Wright handmade zebra wood tote and knob. Priceless. You’re a wonderful craftsman and a greater man. I hope someday I can return the favor for you. Thanks man.
Thanks man. This was a fun project. Looking forward to getting it back to you.
Generally never like with music, but yours was just perfect. Thank you !
thanks. I like a bit on the soft side. just sets the tone.
Just exactly what I needed to see. I have a Stanley #7 that was given to me but has no front knob. Thanks
Glad I get out.
Excellent! Just what I was looking for since I don't have any fancy gear.
Love watching your process by hand!
Real skills are so rare in times of all the machinery. Thanks for sharing this. Admirable.
thanks! my pleasure
I'm so glad I found this! I'm wanting to make some knobs but my stock would require laminating two pieces of thinner boards just like yours and I wasn't sure if that was a good idea. Now I feel good to go ahead with my plan
Just picked up a Stanley bailey #5 made in the USA at a yard sale yesterday. Just about everything is good to go and only spent $15. I was happy. Now to clean it and get it set up ready to use.
Nice Find Jason!
@@WoodByWright so what I'm finding is that it was made from 1946-1947. I need to get a new iron for it. The rust pitting wont allow for a smooth straight cutting edge. The rest seems pretty functional. The sole dont seem to be to far out either.
I'm restoring a Stanley 33 transitional plane. The last piece I need to do is carve a knob for it. I don't have a lathe so I gave youtube a shot and this is the first video that popped up. Thanks for making this! What did we do before RUclips?
Iiiiii shoild have watched this before i finished my latest project. Same thing, zebrawood knob with no lathe. And decades less experience. Great work, it's beautiful.
This is an awesome video! I'm just starting out in woodworking and it amazes me too see old school craftsmanship used too make something beautiful and of high quality with only hand tools and no power tools at all. Thank you so much, I just subscribed 👍
thanks! that means a lot! more fun to come!
Beautiful 👏I love the whole concept & final effects of those videos! Well done, thank you 😀!
Thanks man.
You are awesome James, we are fortunate to have you making cool videos for us. Thank you
That is one nice hand plane.
thanks! that means a lot!
Another beautiful artistic video that illustrates why we love woodworking down to the finest detail.
Thanks Mike. That means a lot
I'm also needing to build a new knob and tote for my plane. This will come in quite handy. I look forward to the tote video. Thanks for sharing!
thanks Seth. my pleasure!
Very nice job. I'm happy to see someone using hand tools without electric. I'm really impressed with your craftsmanship.
thanks Todd!
👍 I love seeing, and doing, that sort of hand work. It's so satisfying !
so true. thnaks!
Thank you for making this video. I love the "artistic style," as you've called it; soothing. I hope the tote turns out well and that your friend really enjoys the plane. Cheers!
thanks Daniel. more fun to come!
I buy a lot of flea market hand planes and recondition them. I have had 3 in my drawer complete, but no knob. I was literally thinking this morning, "how am I going to make a knob without a lathe". This afternoon I was bored and went to RUclips and your video appeared. Thanks for solving a problem for me and for the divine intervention of this video. Great video heading to you channel now.
RUclips is good at mind reading LOL. don't have too much fun!
That's similar to how I make vintage newel post replacements. Very satisfying to do. Great vid.
Right on. So much fun.
Wow! Truly beautiful work. Thank you for sharing.
thanks! my pleasure!
Nice grain pattern. There is the eye of Sauron now.
While watching this, I am thinking about how to make this on a table saw.
Nice work as usual. Thank you.
I just want to thank you for making that it’s a work of art you are a true master of your craft
Thanks Alan.
FWIW - to open a stuck lid, turn the bottle upside down and bang it against a solid surface, striking so the lid hits flat against the surface. This pushes the entire lid against the rim and usually works for me. Be certain that the surface against which you bang is free from obstructions, like stray screws, etc. I don't recall where I learned this, but for me it works much better than banging the edge of the lid.
interesting. might have to try that next time.
Thanks James; I'm still figuring out how to set up a dadgum plane but this is the only video I know of on how to create a knob without a lathe. I love that tiger wood btw great vid.
Thanks. I do love the way this would comes out.
Exquisito trabajo! Excelente decisión en la madera, reconfortante ver el video asta el final!
Excellent video and process
A. True work of art.outstanding!
I really enjoyed this. I love the concept of making things without using the expensive specialty tool and showing how it can be done using simpler tools. I hope to see more videos like this.
thanks Jeremiah. that is the way we roll around here. every now and then I like to pull out the sweet toys, but 995 of the work is done with handsaws, planes, chisels, and a few files.
Whats wrong with a lathe?
You try make 12 windsor chair legs all by hand with each being consistent
One of the most beautiful projects especially that it was made without a lathe . !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks. This was a fun one.
Hi, I just saw your video when you made the new knob for the plane. You did a great job. I’ve seen some of your other shows. There all interesting. Your patience is impressive. All the hand work today for the most part has been lost. Your keeping it alive.
I know the wood was a hard wood, but kind was it.
I have some old tools like yours from my grandfather and father. I’m lucky to have them.
Thank you.
rd
thanks this was a fun one for sure. this was zebra wood. not easy to come by. most of the time you need to order it.
You have three biggest file collection that I have ever seen :)
Well done my friend.
Greets Danny from the Netherlands
thanks. I have around 30+ of them but for most things I only use 5-6 of them. I get most at antique stores for almost nothing.
love the sound effects. Awesome work.
Lol thanks!
Wow! Underfull! Congratulations! Good job! I m from Brazil.
I saw something from Paul Sellers that really helps for shellac. I use an oversized glass container and don't fill it past half full. That way when I dip the brush into the shellac I can dab it on the inside of the glass jar way away from the threads and the lid doesn't get stuck. It works really well.
I used to do the same but I find it still jams up the threads when I shake it. Lol
Wood By Wright I use those mason canning jars. Maybe it's that little bit of rubber in the top that helps.
Dear James, yet another example of your master craftsmanship. One thing would make this sort of job a little easier would be if you use V-blocks in your vice. A V-block has a square cross/rectangular cross-section with a V groove machined along one face {the active face}. You can make a pair of them to drop into your vice, one with a horizontal groove and one with a vertical v-groove. Now you can hold circular work either vertically or horizontally. Don’t struggle again with trying to set a piece horizontally or vertically, the appropriate V-groove takes care of this.
I made a pair out of brass on a milling machine and in those, I added a hanging section that poked outside of the inner active face. This sits on the top of my existing metalworking vice jaws, which are not altered by the process. The brass pair of jaw vices can also be dropped into a wooden vice without modification and work quite well there too. A couple of neodymium magnets embedded but with their surface the same as the vice face surface give strong holding of the mobile jaw faces and so you don’t have to worry about them dropping on the floor whenever you open your vice.
Alternatively, you could get some hard wood and make a slightly larger set for woodworking use only. Happy carving.
thanks Peter. I have a pair of those I use from time to time, but on this one I was adjusting it every few seconds to go around it and they were a hassle to keep moving. I also use a Hand Screw Clamp with the tips cut out like that. work great for a lot of applications like that.
I see said the blind man. Love your work.
"everything in the shop is just a jig to hold a chisel" so wise
LOL wish I could take credit for that.
Very nicel, beautiful craftsmanship as always 👌🏼
Thanks man.
The voiceover tool sounds were brilliant
LOL thanks. I was pulling my hair out when i found out those clips had no sound.
Pullin your hair out ? 🤔 Lol j/k
You did a great job. Can't wait for the handle video.😎😎😎👍😁😁😁😁🤙
Thanks. Hopefully that'll be out next week.
Great, I'm waiting for it. I haven't a lathe and I have to do the same thing. I will waiting for the tote video too. Thanks a lot.
nice. have fun making one!
Man I cringed when that awl slipped. I’m so glad that didn’t go through your hand brother! Beautiful handle by the way.
At 2:48 the voice sound effects were amazing lol
Mr. Wright Nice work!
I love your videos i learn so much thank you.
10:47: There's kind of a cat's eye (or Eye of Sauron) at the front of that knob. Helps the plane see where it's going, I guess.
Lol I was thinking the same thing.
I can see your sole is tilted. But the all seeing eye is evil and won’t tell you until much later in the build.
Very nice! Well done!
thanks Chad!
Excellent video. Lovely grain in the new knob; looks much better than the original. Putting masking tape of a saw and a file was a super idea. I hadn't thought of that before, but will be copying that idea for sure. Thanks for sharing your ideas and skills. Best wishes to you.
Thanks Mark. Glad I can help some.
Thank you for reminding us that before electric tools, all a master carpenter had was his hands and his hand tools and his skill.
Thanks! it is all you need.
There is evidence of lathes as far back as ancient Egypt.
Beautiful work
thanks man!
😳
Totally amazing. Very beautiful job.
Thanks.
Thanks for the video. You helped me out a lot. I have a need to make one myself.
thanks! have fun in the shop!
The contrast of that grain is beautiful.
I often do this kind of work without power tools, of which I own very few. When I show the finished item to friends, they sometimes marvel when they learn I did it all by hand and say I must have unusual woodworking skills. (I do have unusual woodworking skills. Unusually bad woodworking skills.) You can do everything power tools do with hand tools. How the heck do you think they did all that stuff before Industrial Revolution?? It just takes longer, and you have to watch closely your shapes and dimensions, the grain of the wood, etc., while you work.
Slow down, pay attention, and you're there. Yeah, it takes a month to make something I could have ripped out in a few hours with power tools. But it's totally doable. Fabulous job, by the way. And you used my favourite finish, too.
Right on. sometimes it is worth it to slow down and small the wood grain!
Beautiful job !
Thanks!
Crazy lookin wood. Love it.
Oh ya! fun stuff!
Love you sound effect ahahah!
Ok you got me started on making new totes and knobs to replace all my broken ones. I’m the guy who was waiting to buy a lathe. 😁 great videography too.
There's always the 'fonly brand of lathes. That's where you say, "If only I had a lathe" so many times you just make something that works like a lathe and call it good.
LOL I am usually that person.
Lovely. Love the wood you used. 👍👍👍👍👍🇦🇺
Thanks. Zieberwood really makes it pop.
Beautiful
Nicely done
Thanks!
Thanks for the heads up on the division of the programming for your channels. Subscribed to both but the artistic vids I can watch on the commute while the talkies I want to be able to pay attention.
Liked the Dad joke at the end. It wasn’t a chocolate frog but... heheh
LOL thanks Tom. I thought of opening a Chocolate frog here and seeing what people say.
It's so pretty. I wonder why wood grain is so magnetically attractive to people.
PS that plane is AWESOME!
so true. there is something naturally attractive about the pure nature in wood.
Beautiful thing ...again! Bravo. Bravo also for your commitment to your chanel/buisiness. Not always an easy task, i am sure. Cordialement.
thanks. this was a fun one!
Good Job James!
Thanks
Thank you for sharing
my pleasure!
That's a lovey knob man. I guess you can also make wooden door knobs the same way.(or close enough to it)
Right on. I have actually done that.
Sometimes I think hand tool purists are just masochists at heart. You could have sawn off some of wood after glue up instead of planing it down forever...
As far as the belief that a lathe is necessary, most of us have a hand tool rescue "vertical lathe"... It's not ideal but it can be done. This way works too.
That plane is pretty cool, I've never seen handles that can be angled like that.
thanks. in this case it is actually faster to plane off with a scrub plane then to set up and saw off. setup and everything the corners came of in under 2 minutes. the whole project start to finish was under an hour with setup time and everything. It is surprisingly fast.
Thanks for this video. I made a wooden fore plane out of scrap wood. Would have loved to have seen this video back then. My handles work but are much rougher in nature. It works though. I call that plane Mongo because it's so ugly but powerful at removing wood.
Nice!
were those voice acted effect noises ! ? that earned a subscribe, also i dont think a wooden hitch ball is going to work , but i wanna try out those effects noises out so im totally making one.
Nice work.
thanks James!
Next on Wood By Wright: how to make a wooden mallet with no tools.
A man of many challenges 👍🏻
Lol I like to make things with just my teeth
@@WoodByWright I'm sure your dentist must LOVE you...
noble work
Thanks.
Great Saturday, work week finished, video...cheers....rr
Thanks man!
I made one just a week ago. However, I used the ole "leaf spring ground to a bowl gouge" and "drill in some bar clamps" approach. lol I did use my plane to rough out the shape though. :P
Lol yep that does it too.
Very nice !!!
thanks!
nice work. tx
my pleasure!
That's a beauty.
Thanks.
Good job.
thanks!
Very nice and well made Video... Thank you... If i may suggest, you should begin to add Links / Descriptions to what you used to make the Knob.
For example for this Video:
(1) The Bow shaped Sanding tool you used... A great tool. Never saw it before this.
(2) The Finish you applied to the knob, Was it a laquer?... Or some innovative home made concoction?!
Some of these would be nice to know... And a suggestion for your future Videos... Thanks.
thanks. That means a lot. his channel is just for the easy-going people that are not as interested in the information. Wood By Wright 2 I put the video there with all the information.
Here is my video on the bow sander. ruclips.net/video/R7uIimv2grU/видео.html
the finish was BLO with shellac and paste wax.
Realy cool i just got a old stanley with a missing knob
Don't have too much fun. They're addictive to make.
That sanding bow was an amazing idea! Sorry if this has already been asked, but when you drilled through the center, how did yo make sure that your bit brace was square?
I love making things the hard way with minimal machinery. It takes more time, but there's an uncommon level of satisfaction few can relate to. I also loved the improvised sound effects. Haha. You are an inspiration sir!
thanks. To be honest I rarely check that a bit is square. I just eyeball it. and with drilling from both ends if it is off by 10 degrees (rarely off by more then one degree) it will still work perfectly!
@@WoodByWright thanks for the reply. I'll keep this in mind. For all I know, I obsess too much over keeping things square when it need not be absolutely perfect. Thank you 🙌
Very nice
Thanks!
I was actually planning to make a video on *ways to make tool handles without a lathe:*
Saw it with a hand saw, shaped like a tapered rectangle/cone (See John heisz's clamp handles)
Carving knife
Rasp
In a drill
With a power sander, a belt sander for example.
A flex shaft
rotary tool with a carving burr
But I abandoned the idea(s) so here ya go ;)
Lol. Sounds like a fun video would love to see it.
Wow I would never have thought one could get that kind of result with only rasps and files. Spectacular. I know it took longer than 12:39. What was the timeline to make the knob?
From block of wood to applying finish was just under an hour. to be honest it would have taken me just as long or longer to pull out the lathe, set it up, sharpen the cutters, find a chucking method, turn the piece then drill the hole on the lathe. and even then I would have to cut it off and shape the round slot to fit the body.
I made one a while back with a Milwaukee superhawg in my vise and a couple sawzall blades and sandpaper. Lol
Wow. That sounds like a process.
Wood By Wright making a hillbilly lathe with what I had
Damn i love working with rasps! I dream to one day go buy mine in France, at Liogier
Oh that would be nice!
Indeed! And it’s close to one of the path for Santiago del Compostella, in France . Nice walk:)
I'm glad I have a lathe.
LOL I have 3 of them. but I still enjoy this way.
Although nothing to your level of skill, I have amazed myself with shaping things with hand tools and the main things required are patience and attention to detail. However, the one thing in the video I would have completely screwed up was drilling the center hole. I noticed you started at both ends. Is the idea that as long as they are centered on each end, it doesn't really matter if they meet exactly in the middle? I would have a hard time with that procedure without a lathe or drill press. Love the projects!
in this case it was a must for the two ends of the hole to be EXACT. but most of the time I would just free hand it from one end to the other. there are methods to stay on track and most of the time I am 1/16" or less off over a 4" hole.
Question:. For the groove to allow the handle to pivot, could you have drilled a hole through each side before shaping, or was that too risky in case something went awry during shaping?
I had not thought of that, but yes I could have done that.
Wouldn't the rasps have caught the edge of the hole and messed it up?
@@FrigginBoomToys maybe a bit. It depends on how aggressive you are with it. But if you're careful it wouldn't be a problem.
“For woodworking tools we will mostly use files and rasps as well as a couple carving gouges.” And patience.
Lots of that last one in this shop. LOL though this was not that much longer then setting up the lathe and doing it on that.
