A thing of beauty.Loved when you said for a home made tool it will do.. Anything mass produced wouldn't be half as good as that. Having never come across camphor laurel what does it smell like? Cheers.
Hey mate bit of an odd question but do you have any trouble with that red trojan guide for sharpening. I know it's a cheap bunnings special but I can't seem to get a super accurate angle when tightening it for chisels? Seems to want to shift to one side after tightening it it down did you make any modifications to it to work better or just use it for plane blades? Thanks Nick.
Simply put-its a masterpiece. Really beautiful finish on the camphor laurel. I don't even think a smoothing plane could get you as satin a finish as that. Love your creativity! A real pleasure to watch how your mind works, and how you apply it to projects!
I think that a large portion of those dislikes mush be from companies who make and/or sell scraper plains and they are just thinking about all of the buisness that they are about to loose 😱😋😂
Maybe there are people out there who like to spend their days disliking as many random uploads on RUclips as possible and the one with the highest number wins the day
Lord, people. “Thumbs Up” and “Thumbs Down” are blunt instruments. Maybe they’re simply trying to indicate that they don’t like to see planes made, but might like all the other videos he’s made. Or maybe they don’t want to see these videos pop up as suggested videos in RUclips, and think if they vote thumbs down, they’ll stop showing up.
the groove in the dowel is a tip i've only seen in this video, the attention to detail is what make all the difference in the final product, thank you for giving us these gold nugget of knowledge!
Never apologise for your videos being long, it’s a pleasure to watch such a talented craftsman make something so amazing from scrap wood. This one was amazing.
Truly a piece of art, such a pleasure to watch! And really nice to get a bit of a longer video, the longer the better in my humble opinion! It’s so inspiring to see a master craftsman at work so thank you ever so much! We know how much effort goes into videos like this and we really appreciate it :)
Just two minutes in and I've already had a good laugh and a great tip (adding a dowel to create long-grain strength through a weak section). Love the vids Neil!
That turned out absolutely gorgeous! And never apologize for the video being long. I love watching you work. Reminds me of doing woodworking with my late father when I was a kid.
Hello (from France near Toulouse). I am in awe of the work you do, it seems so simple to do when you show it to us. A big BRAVO to you. Sincerely. Etienne ------ Bonjour (de France du côté de Toulouse). Je suis admiratif devant le travail que vous réaliser cela semble si simple à réaliser quand vous nous le montrez. Un grand BRAVO à vous. Cordialement. Etienne
Honestly I had no idea how long the video was until I looked after it finished. I was fully involved the whole time. Great work on the plane and video!
"It came out half-decent and good enough for a homemade tool".....what is this? An Understatement of The Month contest? It seems to work a treat, and the design is elegant, almost architectural. So its "only" a practical work of art? At the risk of sounding fawning and a bit twee, watching your hands work is almost enthralling. They seem so confident, competent, and commanding, and seem to work with such a careless ease that the processes appear to accomplish themselves at your command. Well, of course I'm impressed - I can barely slice a sandwich in two without a major disaster.............Thanks for another very enjoyable video!
On the subject of kumiko, I just wanted to shout out the Adrian Preda channel. They do kumiko completely with hand tools, with shooting planes to square up the wood, and homemade router planes and chamfer planes and the whole works. Pask fans would greatly appreciate it.
Dear Neil, it’s rare to see someone who confidently moves between woodworking and metal machining, well done. I see you also have a 110kg anvil. Does that mean we will start to see some blacksmithing creep onto your work? That would complete the trifecta and would be like heaven on earth for me. Congratulations.
Absolutely amazing, Neil! You are both a craftsman and artist par excellence. And please don’t ever feel the need to apologize for the length of your videos. I could watch them all day.
I'm absolutely addicted to these videos. I love the process and hearing not only all the commentary on the project, but also all the little things that go wrong and how you go about fixing or dealing with them. Sometimes things on channels like these feel like they need to be so perfect and pristine every time, but even though you're using a shop full of expensive things, you've still made something that feels incredibly attainable. Seeing how nice this looked at first I thought "Maybe someday when I have nicer stuff to work with", but by the end of the video I'm thinking if I can find a few chunks of hardwood I could try and make this. Keep up the great videos!
I really never understand downvoting videos this good. I mean, is it because they feel inferior because of this craftsmanship? Truly baffled. This was a work of art you made, it's really lovely. Looks like it works a treat as well. Bravo, and congrats on a new tool :)
What a beautiful piece of art. It has all the aesthetics of wood sculpture, can be proudly displayed in a home, and yet remains a valuable part of your wood shop. You are a master crafter, Neil. This was well worth the wait. Thank you for sharing.
Just watched this and thought it was just wonderful! I love hand tools and the design of this planer is brilliant! Thank you for keeping “acoustic” tools alive and honored!
that is just superb! what I learned from you is making the parts that I need rather than sourcing them online, then ordering and waiting for weeks or months, just to realise they are not exactly as I was expecting them to be. I adopted that parts making habit and now I just source the raw material such as stainless steel tubes, rods, bars, and so on.
When I was a kid I used to watch the new Yankee workshop. Every day hoping this time I'd get to see the lathe. The thought that this week maybe I'd get to see the lathe what life to me. Not much has changed in 25 years but the name of the show.
I'll never make this or need this tool, but I couldn't stop watching you create it!! Spectacular job!! Your such a craftsmen and I can see from your shop, it's not your first homebuilt tool!!
I love how carefully you shaped everything, the bevels matching, etc. My favorite part was you deciding that beautiful knob didn't match the plane, and you made one that perfectly matches the aesthetic, and ties the whole look together. Masterful, and wow, I could see the smoothness of the camphor laurel. We don't have it here, but it sounds a little like elm, which is impossible to split. Fun stuff!
Time flies when you're having fun, as we say here in 🇸🇪 Sweden... 😉 I don't mind a longer flight! It's truly a gift, getting to watch you do what you love.
You, sir never cease to amuse and amaze your fans. With that in mind: what is a project you don't think you can do? Either do to time, funds, man hours etc... aka; your "holy grail/dream project."
I learn so much watching your videos. Using the drill press to drill the curves in the handle before band sawing it and carving the channel in the dowel before insertion are two things I've added to my woodworking quiver. Thank you!
Nice job mate- from beginning to end. Good taste, good workmanship. I get the impression that it's much more pleasing to work with a wooden scraper plane than a metal one. I had a beautiful 19th century engraved scraper plane; that was stolen here in France, just like the other half of all my tools. Then a Stanley one- stolen too. Was thinking of getting the Lie Nielson one, but the French thieves don't deserve it. Yours is a real beauty. God bless.
Neil, off the charts. To long, not in the least, sat and enjoyed the full 30 minutes and you could have made it longer and I still would have sat and watched it all. Never heard of a scraper plane before, saw the teaser image in IG and was wondering what the heck it was, but now seeing it and knowing how much I like to try and do my finish with a plane for cut instead of broken fibers, I think of all the planes, I might actually try making this one.
Some people just buy pan head screws not pask he just makes them lol I love that he works with what he has and makes it work for him another great video keep up the great content
Your projects and videos are top class. You've got a great mind for engineering and design. It's a pleasure to watch and see what you build. Thanks from Napa, California.
As always, a mesmerizing display of design and fab skills to go with my lunch. Someday, a hundred years from now, someone will pick that up at a yard sale and wonder about how it came to be! Make sure you brand it! Thanks for sharing...
Wonderful showing of elbow grease :) Small tip before you cut off bolts to make it easier for nuts to fit, or in your case the threaded hole, is to put a nut on before you cut it off. After cutting you clean up the thread and then remove the nut and the not matching thread will bend back into shape, whereafter you can easily clean it up further. Tricks your dad teaches you... :)
Beautiful job! Those card scrapers have their place in the shop but are no fun to use. Your scraper plane will certainly do the job much easier. Thanks for sharing.
Ive been following your channel for about a year now and I’m always so excited when I see you’ve posted a new video. This turned out awesome. Keep up the great work!
Just fantastic!!! Nope, it wasn’t too long at all. I don’t enjoy watching your videos and sometimes feel cheated when they are too short. This one was just right and love the content!!!💪🏼🔥🔥👍🏻❤️
Ha!! I KNEW you were going to remake that knob ;) Agreed, though - the profile of the new one suits the plane much better. Brilliant work, as ever. Thank you so much.
Hello! I am a beginner in woodworking and I really enjoy your videos! Something that would help me understand the process better while watching the video is a short explanation of how you want to build your project and explaining which task every piece of wood has. However, I cannot imagine how much time you put into these videos and I can completely understand that that might take too much time.
I don't like it, I love it! And I'm amazed by the fact that you actually accomplished creating a well working plane rather than a show piece! A working show piece I must say; it's beautiful.
Having watched you for a while I didn’t think you could get better. I apparently was wrong. Thanks for all the hard work and showing us what is possible.
I had to laugh after I read the notice from RUclips, of the posting. I haven’t slept in the last 32-hours, and am getting a little fuzzy. I read scraper plane, and my Civil Engineer, Heavy Construction mind, went to a Scraper Plane which is towed behind a tractor or dozer, to level large fields. I was having trouble figuring out why you would make one.
absolutely stunning. However when you said ‘don’t worry now. we’re nearly there and I’ll get through this part quickly.’ my heart sank that this wonderful and informative video was almost over. .... ;-)
You should give making a knife-plane a shot. Chisel plane is another name for it. Originally the designs were for piano makers, but I think you'll find it an extremely handy tool. I've owned one for about 3 years now and so far it's been "the only tool for the job" in about 5 different ways.

NEVER apologize for how long your videos are... they’re never long enough!! ♥️
THIS!!!
Word
Also never apologize on the work you do either! It why we all enjoy your designs!💪🏼
I agree!
@@wolfparty4234 YES!!! I was thinking that too when he said it!
Never feel the need to apologize for your video lengths; they always leave me wanting more. Your content is engaging and never long enough to satisfy!
This plane build is a tour de force, Neill. Just brilliant. Culminating in that beautifully-scraped piece of camphor laurel.
Thanks very much Les - glad you enjoyed it! :)
How can anyone dislike it? Out of jealousy? This is craftsmanship on a highest level. Beautiful.
unfortunately there are those who can only feel better about themselves or their skills by putting the work of others down.
Probably hate it because of the use of metric measurements instead of the good ol' "Freedom Units"...that or they are Morons...or both.
I think that a large portion of those dislikes mush be from companies who make and/or sell scraper plains and they are just thinking about all of the buisness that they are about to loose 😱😋😂
Maybe there are people out there who like to spend their days disliking as many random uploads on RUclips as possible and the one with the highest number wins the day
Lord, people. “Thumbs Up” and “Thumbs Down” are blunt instruments. Maybe they’re simply trying to indicate that they don’t like to see planes made, but might like all the other videos he’s made. Or maybe they don’t want to see these videos pop up as suggested videos in RUclips, and think if they vote thumbs down, they’ll stop showing up.

Never apologise for your videos being long, it’s a pleasure to watch such a talented craftsman make something so amazing from scrap wood. This one was amazing.
+1 - I prefer this type of video over the "bigger" projects like the refurbishing of the parking space, so this can hardly be too long :)
Thank you! :)
Oh man, that slide whistle killed me, beautiful as always Neil!
That groove in the dowel is genius.
Truly a piece of art, such a pleasure to watch! And really nice to get a bit of a longer video, the longer the better in my humble opinion!
It’s so inspiring to see a master craftsman at work so thank you ever so much! We know how much effort goes into videos like this and we really appreciate it :)
Thanks Sol - glad you enjoyed it! :)
You, sir, are freakin’ incredible. Your “homemade” tools are as good as or better than any store bought tool.
I would say much better, considering everything in stores is made in china.
For sure!
Just two minutes in and I've already had a good laugh and a great tip (adding a dowel to create long-grain strength through a weak section). Love the vids Neil!
Don't worry about the length of the video. It is a pleasure to watch the whole length. And the result is stunning! Rob

Good evening. You are an ARTIST
Bonsoir. Vous êtes un ARTISTE
Honestly I had no idea how long the video was until I looked after it finished. I was fully involved the whole time. Great work on the plane and video!
Love the longer videos. Its very therapeutic to just sit and watch a master at work.
38 minutes of pure Pask genius. That plane looks and works beautifully.

Thanks very much Vickie! :)
I really wish my grandpa was still alive. I do think he’d enjoy watching the beautiful work you do.
This is a work of industrial art Neil. Absolutely beautiful tool and works great.
Just watched this and thought it was just wonderful! I love hand tools and the design of this planer is brilliant! Thank you for keeping “acoustic” tools alive and honored!
Glad you enjoyed it Kay! :)
You really are a genius. The attention to detail is through the roof.
Woof - fancy. Beautiful and functional. Heirloom piece. I love the dedication to getting all the details right.

Been watching a lot of my mechanics, Pask? Creating your own nuts and bolts seems like a fun way to go about it.
It's beautiful! The chamfer was a nice touch! And "No accuracy here, but they'll have character" is my new shop motto lol
You, sir never cease to amuse and amaze your fans.
With that in mind: what is a project you don't think you can do? Either do to time, funds, man hours etc... aka; your "holy grail/dream project."
I wouldnt be able to use this thing if handed to me. It is a piece of art in itself man. Beautiful work.
"I am putting the slightest burr on the edge..."
Proceeds to cut magnificent curliques from a piece of wood.
Awesome work Pask, loved it!
No way was the vid too long.That’s why we are here, to see a detailed vid. Lovely tool. Lovely vid.
Aside from the valuable wood working techniques, it's quite relaxing to watch your videos.
Well Neil it looks to nice to use. Put it in the glass case and just admire it. I love it.
Passion and expert craftmanship came together so well in this project and the result is beautiful!!
Jack of all trades and master of them too. My respect to you Neill.
I learn so much watching your videos. Using the drill press to drill the curves in the handle before band sawing it and carving the channel in the dowel before insertion are two things I've added to my woodworking quiver. Thank you!
The creativity of this guy is amazing, but holy moly what an amount of glue!

Now that’s a PROPER JOB WELL DONE 👏🏻
Not to long at all, its a pleasure to watch a craftsman such as yourself. Thanks for sharing
Great job! I didn't know there was such a thing as a scraper plane. Lol. Cool!
Thanks very much Chase - glad you enjoyed it and that you learned something new! :)
50 fun challenges in addition to the great metal and woodwork themes... what a great channel.
Thank you! :)
I believe I speak for the majority when I say nobody minds longer videos of your nimble hands at work, Mr. Pasken!
I was missing so much this long detailed woodworking videos! You are a very talented person Pask! love your content
Clicked on the like button as the video started. This man never disappoints.
Wonderful showing of elbow grease :)
Small tip before you cut off bolts to make it easier for nuts to fit, or in your case the threaded hole, is to put a nut on before you cut it off. After cutting you clean up the thread and then remove the nut and the not matching thread will bend back into shape, whereafter you can easily clean it up further. Tricks your dad teaches you... :)
Speachless as to how good that that looks and all the hard work put into it... thank you.
I have never seen this style of plane Neil, thank you for teaching me something and sharing your attention to detail, outstanding sir.
Wow this feels like you reached a next level of craftsmanship and design on this one! Amazing work
Beautiful job! Those card scrapers have their place in the shop but are no fun to use. Your scraper plane will certainly do the job much easier. Thanks for sharing.
You're one of the best woodworkers on RUclips
I didn’t understand the need for this until you explained how good it was with crazy grain direction. Well done!
Pask, This was awesome man. Thanks a million for taking the time to make this video and I hope you get years of use out of that tool
Thanks very much Kevin! :)
Been looking forward to this since your first post about it on Instagram. Looks like it came together beautifully, well done!
Came here to say this
Thanks Ray - glad you weren't disappointed! :)
Excellent work as usual Neil. Love the contrasting timber finishes.
Ich bin begeistert von dieser Arbeit, sowas habe ich schon lange gesucht einfach großartig
You may be proud of yourself as a toolman till you see a tool-maker. This guy verifies evolution.💪
Allways nice to see you work so precise and detailed like the true craftsman that you are
I've been watching your videos for the last 3 years, and I must say I really love your work, keep it up!
Thanks very much! :)
That is just a beautiful tool you made. It is a work of art in itself.
Exquisite workmanship, design, ad infinitum!! Beautiful piece to hand down to your children, grand children - - -
Love the plane pun. Cuz puns are awesome! :)
I love your narrative voice..every last word sounds the same..you know what I’m talking about.
The detail and craftsmanship you have is unmatchable!
I have made several planes and scrapers when I was a woodworker. You did an excellent job, better than mine.
Ive been following your channel for about a year now and I’m always so excited when I see you’ve posted a new video. This turned out awesome. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Jordan! :)
Just fantastic!!!
Nope, it wasn’t too long at all.
I don’t enjoy watching your videos and sometimes feel cheated when they are too short.

Ha!! I KNEW you were going to remake that knob ;)
Agreed, though - the profile of the new one suits the plane much better.
Brilliant work, as ever. Thank you so much.
Thanks Rob! The first one was fine, I just didn't think it suited the plane. :)
@@PaskMakes you'll just have to save it for your next plane.
Time, patience and dedication to your craft. Amazing work.
Hello! I am a beginner in woodworking and I really enjoy your videos! Something that would help me understand the process better while watching the video is a short explanation of how you want to build your project and explaining which task every piece of wood has. However, I cannot imagine how much time you put into these videos and I can completely understand that that might take too much time.
It all becomes clear when the project is done and showcased :) Perhaps watch the last couple of minutes first, then jump back to the beginning?
I don't like it, I love it! And I'm amazed by the fact that you actually accomplished creating a well working plane rather than a show piece! A working show piece I must say; it's beautiful.
You are so creative, frugal and resourceful. I know your probably not at all interested, but I just believe if you made a book, it would really sell.
Superb! A man with your creative talent deserves to buy himself a metal lathe .
Having watched you for a while I didn’t think you could get better. I apparently was wrong. Thanks for all the hard work and showing us what is possible.
The theme song just get me so jazzed! Love your work ❤️

Ooohhh, that dolly-zoom at the end! Gorgeous stuff, Neil.
That sir is absolutely beautiful. I find your videos are brilliant & inspirational.
Is there anything that this man can't do? Brilliant as usual. Keep them coming.
absolutely stunning. However when you said ‘don’t worry now. we’re nearly there and I’ll get through this part quickly.’ my heart sank that this wonderful and informative video was almost over. .... ;-)
Folks have covered how 100% amazing this plane is. I'm just here to say I appreciated that Hitchcock-Vertigo zoom shot at the very end :)
Glad you enjoyed that Donald! :)
Ahh, I missed that first time around! Nicely done! 👍🏻
You should give making a knife-plane a shot. Chisel plane is another name for it. Originally the designs were for piano makers, but I think you'll find it an extremely handy tool. I've owned one for about 3 years now and so far it's been "the only tool for the job" in about 5 different ways.
