    hello Ken and Joleen,
    I am glad to see you again and I hope you are well.
    i like maple a lot, it has a very nice texture. the chalk board has turned out very nice. unfortunately i don't have a hand router so i will try the chisel or the electric router.
    my brother is still happy when he goes to work with his japanese tool box, whitch is admired by all of his colleagues.
    You (and I) gave him a very nice present, thanks again for that.
    germany sends greetings
    stay healthy the both of you.

    Hi Ken, Thanks for the very educational video. Dad was a carpenter-joiner but didn't want my brother and I to get our hands dirty. But that was what we wanted most !! Of course when he would renovate old houses he bought for us, we would be required to hold the board he was sawing or the dry-wall/gip-rock he was putting up for the walls etc. You are a very skilled worker indeed mate. I have not bought a hand router plane yet and am curious about the one you have and the fence attachment. Is it a Veritas or Lie-Nielsen ? We have Veritas available an outlet called Carbatec in Wakerley (in Brisbane) but Lie-Nielsen are in Adelaide South Australia (a long way from here.) I have the Veritas plough plane but not all the blade sizes as yet, but that will be attended to shortly. I don't know about slate quaries but remember the boards growing up in the 50's and 60's years ago. Funny though, I have seen chalk at various arts and crafts suppliers. Probably in Tasmania (Launceston is the area I came from - in town a bit but also in Glengarry some 25 miles north of Launceston on the West Side of the Tamar River, turn left onto the Frankford Road at Exeter and 5 miles down the road.) Have a look at Tassy from Google Earth and go to Street level. It is beautiful. Still got lots of family there. Thank you again Ken, All the best, Brian

    • @treebangham
      @treebangham  2 года назад

      Hi Brian. The router and plow planes are essential tools in my workshop. They’re both by Veritas. The optional fence for the router is very useful, and for the plow I have the basic assortment of narrow blades (1/8th “ through 3/8”), but I know they make wider blades, tongue and groove blades (with wide blade conversion kit) and beading blades (with modified skate). Thanks for the visit from Down Under, I hope to visit there some day. I’ll have a look at Tassy.

  • @williambrady7135
    @williambrady7135 3 года назад

    Thank you Ken and Jonene for another great project. Ken when using the router plane, would it have been possible to clamp two pieces together and route the rabbet joints at the same time? Thus giving more support to the bottom of your plane as well?

    • @treebangham
      @treebangham  3 года назад

      Hi William. I suppose I could do that, but the groove would need to be twice as wide. That's 3/4". Thank you for the question.

    • @treebangham
      @treebangham  21 день назад

      It’s called a router plane and it can perform many of the tasks of an electric router. It’s a versatile tool and I use it for trimming tenons, fitting lap joints and making dados. The version I’m using has an optional fence which allows me to make a stopped rabbet on the edge of a board. It’s an essential tool in my workshop.
