Great to see someone plane an entire table top! Too many videos about planes are about type, maintenance etc... but then they never do a complete job. Cool.
Winding sticks need to be longer. Longer magnifies the error. Extruded aluminum makes great winding sticks. A long 2" x 2" L-channel is really handy for this. A couple 6 or 8 footers. Or a straight edge cutting guides on the side would also work .
Your channel will be 5 times bigger before we all know it, and I'd like to be one the subscribers to honesty say I truly enjoy your work! Haven't really gone a day without watching your content, Jay! Thanks for the great content!
Thanks Brian :)
Great video! I am in the processing of making your table and this detailed video is going to really help, thanks Jay!!
Great video, I really appreciate the great info & tips on this one! And have to say after seeing this video, I think there's a number of woodworkers (including myself) out there thinking to themselves.... "man, I would sure like to have me a friend/ woodworking buddy like Jay" 👊🏼
Thanks Jay I got your plans 2-3 years ago it's 7-23 now but just finished the basic build with a benchcrafted leg vice i had to modify the vice leg stretchers for the retro mounts but love the bench and it's time to flatten the surface. and this popped up on my feed.
Very well done Jay. You are a great teacher!
Gonna definitely watch more of your videos, great presentation style man. Great stuff.
Good video Jay, well explained process. Thanks for sharing.
I am building a bench - and seeing you flatten the bench and gives me confidence to do mine. I know you are not long into using planes and hand tools - and if you can get a great result with just taking some time - I am sure I can get a decent result. Thanks for this and the bench tutorial.
That's the truth. All it takes is gaining a little experience.
Nice tutorial Jay. Will definitely keep all you said in mind next time I attempt to flatten a large surface. I alwase seem to revert to the router sled. But would like to use some of my old vantage planes.
Great tip man!!! I have been getting hills and valleys in the center... So I'm headed to the shop to try 45 Degree angles!!! thx
Thanks for sharing the process. This was informative and gives confidence before doing this myself.
Thanks Jay...I found this vid the day my BU jack plane arrived and have been following your method and ...it works!
Thanks dude! I just used this on a huge cutting board and it worked like a charm!
Step6 is one I like the most! :D
Great job as always Jay!
jay, you do excellent work with manual tools as well as power tools. I have a work bench I need/want to make flat, planed HATE me, (I'm incompetent w/straight hand tools) so I'm going to try using a router sled and the X string method. your way shows mad woodworking skills, which I don't feel I have. just keep doing what your doing, and the subscribers will beat a path to your door.
Thanks Jay! I might pick up a Wood River no. 7 before I head to my in-laws at Christmas... planning on doing some benches and tables.
thank you so much i just built my own bench and your lesson was exactly what i was looking for
great video
This was very helpful. My bench top is curly birch, and a middle-pitch #5 and a York-pitch ECE smoother are all I have that won't tear out divots worse than my 1-iron on a fairway. Still in progress, but now I have a plan.
I was about to plane my workbench top. Thank you for the tips
man i love that sound of a sharp tuned plane working on wood. nice job buddy
That was a great video on how to get the work top level. very informative.
My first project was a workbench...laminated hard maple top. I messed up and didn't pay attention to grain direction. It's impossible to hand plane the top without causing tear out....great video and technique.
Well done Jay, a good explanation and demonstration.
nice detail Jay, thanks for sharing!
Great explanation and tutorial. Well done Jay.
Excellent video. Thanks for making this!
Very informative video Jay, good job.
Nice job and a great explanation. Thanks Jay!
you guys really know how to have a good set up! good on you.
Wow, simple and effective advice. First vid of yours I've seen but glad to sub!
Good stuff Jay, appreciate it!
My god this is incredibly useful. Thanks for breaking it down and explaining your thinking and approach.
Love Step 6 by the way. ;)
awesome thanks for sharing getting ready to build a bench and thinking about buying tour plans
l
Very good tutorial Jay! And it was so nice of Wayne to let you do all the work! HaHa. Wayne is a cool guy, and is lucky to live close to you.
Thanks, Guy.
Any reason I couldn't use my 14" bench smoothing plane for this task? Or would another plane be better? Great video by the way.
I was really hoping to see the end result with the method you showed us at the beginning, oh well I'm sure it came out flat. Great explanation and demo, thanks for the cool vid! 😎👍
Excellent explanation! Thank you!
Well explained, good job.
Can you do a video on setting a plane please? just bought one and I've love to know just basic stuff like sharpening and seeing the blade correctly. Thanks!
thank you very much for your work and help.
Very helpful thanks and greetings form Lithuania
I think you make amazing videos. Not only the content but especially the presentation are excellent. Your humor and honesty definitely set your videos apart from others. I loved you insights on different tool brands so very informative.
I've noticed that you have used solid lumber at times and plywood for similar projects and was wondering if you would provide your opinion on pros/cons for benchtops and vise heads. I am planning on building a bench and was planning on using solid wood. I'm not sure now if it's worth it after watching some of your videos. You opinion please.
Also since you smooth the bench top along with leveling, I would be interested on your opinion on finishing the top with an epoxy. My thought is it would seal and level but might be too smooth.
Very nice clear SYP.
I had a good cheese it friend too, always made working in the garage more enjoyable.
I've watched a lot of woodworking videos and i'm picky about subscribing. At 5:35 into the video i made up my mind. Subbed!
Love this video Jay! I have a workbench top I just glued up so need to be quite aggressive and remove a fair bit of material to get to where you started - what would you recommend there; a fore plane? Scrub?
very good explanation! thank you!
Thank you so much! That's exactly what I needed!!
Great video again Jay! I'm still a novice woodworker, especially considering hand tools. But I was wondering what about grain direction? You told in the video that you plane with the grain direction when you used the smoothing plane. But are all the parts that were glued up to this top positioned in a way that they all have the same grain direction? And what about boards that change grain direction along their length? That's not an uncommon thing, is it? Or imagine this top being a tabletop where you position your boards to get the best look. You can't always get ideal grain directions all over the top in that case, can you? How would you go about smoothing that out? I haven't really found an answer to this so far. It would really help me out if you could shed some light on his matter. Thanks!
Great video! Thanks!
Great video! I keep running into problems where the jointed pieces have usually 1/8th or 1/16th height difference. This video is exactly what I needed. Do you have links to these hand planers anywhere? I didn't see them in the description of the video.
thanks!!
Very very useful video.
Hi Jay! Very cool! I'm brasileiro and I fine your jobs.
Great Video. Do you do any sanding at the end for the final finish ?
nice job Jay!
Nice explanation.
Which wood this workbench is made of?
Nice planes and tips!
Hi Jay. Have you had to re-plane your bench yet? I've read that sometimes the boards will move and you have to flatten it again. I was wondering if yours has needed to be done so far?
Thank you for all of your fantastic videos.
Nice job. Never knew that the work top needed flattening.
Hey! Great Tutorial! Whats the differences when using an electric plane?
Jay, if you want to make part 2 of this video, I will allow you to do it on my workbench. You don't have to pay a lot. :D
One thing I need more experience with is hand planes ✈️ I think part of my problem is cheap planes. The other 90% is me. Great video. Been watching you for a long time. I learn a lot from you.
Excellent apprenticeship! :)
Solid video
Another great video Jay. Which blade are you using and what angle is it?
awesome.
Awesome vid
I have a 22in jointers plane, a 45deg jack plane and a no 4. I'm definitely going to do this.
hey jay could you do a video on how you keep your hand tools clean/ sharp / and rust free? that would be awesome Thanks!!!!!
You are a planning machine! I would have run out of puff way before I got across the whole bench! haha Great tips as always Jay
This was done with the garage door open in the Mississippi muggy weather somewhere in the low 90's. Believe me, I was waaaaaay out of puff by the end of the video.
Great explanation Jay. When I did mine some time ago I damaged my edges slightly when flatting it down....I dont know if you had the same issue. I would therefore only add that maybe chamfering the edges slightly beforehand may be something to consider. Thanks Jay.....great work.
I didn't experience any of that but a slight chamfer does make sense in this situation.
so, you must be called Chamfer edge woodworking then
great tutorial , I am learning this technique. I have one electric planer,and it's too noisy
I use a rolled up rag in a can soaked in light oil something like 3-1 oil and use it to lube the sole of the planes works a treat.
Well, that sorted me out! Brilliant.
I'd probably build a simple router sled to make sure the surface is true and completely flat, but I did find your hand-plane approach useful.
Thanks for this tutorial. It sure gave me a first idea about how to approach that task. I suppose you have to have a good deal of practice as well ;-)
Is it a good idea to use a smoothing plane though? I would have thought it would be better to leave a bit of roughness on the top so it's more grippy.
hey mate just a quick question the shelves that are over your left shoulder at the end of the video does your mate have plans for them they look simple to do but easier with planscheers
Do you set the leveling plane kind of shallow, I am having a hard time getting mine nice and level, I'm just about to say forget it and call it good enough. That being said how crucial is it to be perfectly level? I tried getting some high spots and then ended up making them too low and blah blah blah .... You get the picture.
Good video, good info. However, I struggle with the winding sticks. I just can't seem to see two sharp lines to compare. I tried simply using one level. If the bubble stays in the same place in the tube as you move it down the bench, doesn't this mean that the top is parallel? If there's some twist, the bubble will move. The bubble does not have to be in the exact middle of the tube (your floor might not be exactly level), it just has to stay the same. Is this a reasonable strategy?
Excellent video: clear and concise yet very thorough and thanks for no foul language as my little ones like watching with me. Subscribed and looking forward to trolling your channel in the future! lol jk. Great work and keep it up.
I have heard that the cheezit position is the most sought after in the shop. Yesterday my wife and I went to the beach and she sat and drank coffee while I slabbed up a curly, spalted maple log to lug back to the car. Each section weighed about 200lb, it sucked ;)
I wish I had that cheezit job, looks like a sweet one. Thanks for the video Jay, the bench turned out nice and I am sure it will be helpful to lots of people. It is important to have a flat bench. Have a great day.
#6 is my favorite step.
What is the white material he used on the wings of his rigid tablesaw?
what's the drawing program you use mate?
Hi! Would it be the same method for a kitchen table. And, how do you check that the top is perpendicular to the side?
very well informed.
I have just made a work bench so this video could have not come at a better time. Think I may have a fairly large twist in mine though so will have to take a lot off. Do you add any finish to your work bench to protect it in any way?
Very interesting, thanks! :)
Nicely.
Can you do a video of Wayne making his 5x5 assembly table or one explaining how he built it after it is completed?? He has the best 2 car garage shop I have seen . . . and with everyday man tools. Sorry! :)
What would you call that style of table (thick square legs mounted inside the perimeter of the work face, blocky/thick looking or butcher-block-like, very crisp clean edges)?
Thanks for a great video Jay - looks like "good exercise" 😃 Roughly how much overall did you take off?
I honestly have no clue. I'd say about 1/16"...maybe 1/8"
I understand it with a slab as thick as the one you are working on here, there will not be much twist caused by an uneven shop floor, but what about a workbench that is a more common thickness like 2 inches? Could an uneven shop floor be causing the twist that could be fixed by just leveling the legs?
Jay. Seems like it would be critical for the winding sticks be placed parallel to one another? If they were not, depending on the height of your eyeball above the surface of the levels, you could get a false impression that you had a high/low corner because the ends of the levels closest to one another will appear higher.
Step 6! gotta get me some step 6. ;-)
Great project, Jay. Those gossamer shavings at the end are amazing.
Step 6.....never forget step 6.
3 in 1 oil also works nicely to lubricate the sole of your plane. I keep a rolled up sock in an old Brasso can on my bench; squirt some oil on it every few weeks and run the plane over it after every half hour or so of planing. BTW, I took that tip from a Paul Sellers video.
3 in 1 is great stuff. I've got the Paul Sellers oil rag can as well. Didn't bring it with me for this trip. I use it to keep rust at bay but prefer wax for the sole when working.
+Jay Bates I'll have to give wax a try, especially for those rough flattening sessions. I imagine it would be a good lubricant for a hand saw, too.
Hi could I do this with just the No. 4 Sweetheart Stanley Smoothing Plane? Or would I also need a jack plane? Thanks.
good luck Jay
Step 6. I love work. Can sit and watch people work all day.
