    I've just spent hours watching you work! SO meditative and I love the music too. It's an immersive experience and I thank you for it.
    I'm new to woodworking and I get so many answers to questions I didn't know I even had yet by watching you flow from dimensioning to joinery through to finish. I feel a bit like an apprentice watching and absorbing. Often the sequence of how you work with hand tools is lost in article after book after video assuming power will be involved. You offer a rare glimpse into what used to be so commonplace.
    Thank you for spending the afternoon sharing with me. =]

  • @MrKevmeister68
    @MrKevmeister68 6 лет назад +3

    So, Tom, a lot of examples of flattening boards start with a scrub plane, which you didn’t use here. Is this because the board was not super rough texture wise or because it didn’t need much taken off to get the first face flat? Is your plane blade straight, cambered, or straight with clipped corners? When _would_ you use a scrub plane?

    • @theUnpluggedWoodshop
      @theUnpluggedWoodshop  6 лет назад +2

      Great question...thanks. You've pretty much answered it already- no scrub plane unless I need to remove a fair amount of unusable material...by unusable I mean material that couldn't be re-sawn and repurposed. I don't use a scrub plane very often. My Jack plane has a bit of a camber, but not as aggressive as most.
      hope that helps-

    Omg, you are in TO ? I randomly stumbled on this video while searching planing rough lumber. I've bought some rough lumber from sawmill Syd thinking my friend could run it through his small planer and I'd be done, he did and it left snipe? marks everywhere. I have so much to learn but I'm assuming a more professional planer would leave little to no marks.
    I wish I could find a planing service in Toronto or GTA, I do understand the reluctance and reasons people don't want to plane other people's wood. Please lmk if you know of any planning services. Thank you and as I mentioned in another comment great video

    Tom you are amazing to watch and have me drooling for a chance to learn. I think you may have saved me an amount of money from buying some really under capable cheap planes.
    My wife has hopes of us using reclaimed wood from a remodel of our house, to make a headboard. I'm pretty sure the wood is pine from over 100 years ago. It's really rough, but might be really beautiful when it's done. Is there one tip, aside from going with the grain, from your experience if you've been stuck working with softwoods, that you could post?

    • @theUnpluggedWoodshop
      @theUnpluggedWoodshop  8 лет назад

      keep your plane iron sharp like a razor, and take light cuts. When you do have it flattened and smooth, if there's knots or pitch inside, try a clear coat of shellac and then finish. It'll seal the knots and pitch pockets from bleeding through the final finish- hope that helps, best of luck!

    Hi Tom. I started tinkering with some walnut in advance of tackling your Gentleman's Valet in earnest. What primary bevel angle do you use on your Veritas jointer and do you use a wide or tight mouth?
    Thank you for the videos. I really look forward to your next book.

    • @theUnpluggedWoodshop

      simonc700-
      thanks for the comments and question. It's paraffin wax. A candle or bees wax would also work fine- it lubricates the sole and makes it easier to push.

  • @nic4005
    @nic4005 10 лет назад +1

    Hi Tom, thanks for all the videos. I really enjoy watching the way you work.
    One question relating to dimensioning stock: If you were cutting a number of pieces from a wide board (as you are in this project) but the stock had to be reduced in thickness by a large amount, say > 3/8", would you do the stock removal on the wide board or the smaller pieces? I would guess that bulk stock removal with a jack/fore/scrub plane might be easier on a wide board as it is easier to run the plane across a wide board that a narrow one. Of course, it's always best to cut the board to length as much as possible as that will get rid of some twist.
    Thanks again!

    • @theUnpluggedWoodshop
      @theUnpluggedWoodshop  10 лет назад

      Hey Nic,
      great question !
      To be honest, it would depend on the piece. If I was sure about all of the parts needing to be re-dimensioned, then yeah, I'd probably saw them up and then resaw the 3/8-in. away.- Less waste that way. If I wasn't positive about the finished sizes, I may clean up the entire plank ( at least part of the way ) before I start breaking out the smaller components.
      Thanks again for the question...

  • @erichaltomwoodworking7363
    @erichaltomwoodworking7363 8 лет назад

    I love the care that goes into wood worked by hand. Just out of curiosity how long did it take you to dimension this board? I am trying my hand at planing a board flat, but only have a #4 smoothing plane. The board I am working at the moment is fairly small 4/4 poplar at about 22.5" x 10". I feel like I'm doing it wrong though because I have been working on it for an hour now and still haven't got the first surface done. LOL, right now I'm not feeling that zen with the wood.

    • @theUnpluggedWoodshop
      @theUnpluggedWoodshop  8 лет назад +1

      Jack of all-
      thanks for the comments and question-
      try hitting the high spots first- use a straightedge to identify the highs and lows- work the high spots down to meet the low areas and then start taking lighter passes and surface the entire face. There's a method to the madness!
      I'm assuming you're using a sharp handplane that's set up properly, but that's the basics in a nutshell. You'll find details and instructions, plans and projects in my book~ theunpluggedwoodshop.myshopify.com/collections/books/products/the-unplugged-woodshop-book

    I just, this morning on youtube, learnt what the cap iron is there for. Does make gnarly oak quite alot easier to plane :-p
    Winding sticks are a brilliant idea, especially when nothing is flat in my workshop... Will any two sticks that are straight do (or maybe two levels), or do you recommend paying for the real deal?

    • @theUnpluggedWoodshop
      @theUnpluggedWoodshop  6 лет назад +1

  • @Khether0001
    @Khether0001 10 лет назад +1

    just out of a layman's curiosity
    if you need square rod with a final thickness of, lets say 1 inch all around, how thick would you saw off the material before start smoothing it with the plain?
    Thanks!

    • @theUnpluggedWoodshop
      @theUnpluggedWoodshop  10 лет назад +2

      Nelson,
      thanks for the question.
      If it were me, I'd leave 1/16-in. to an 1/8-in. and then plane the piece to final dimension.
      That said, I've been doing this for a long time and I use hand tools on a daily basis.
      Beginners may wish to leave a little more waste- maybe closer to 3/16-in.
      As they say- you can always take a little more off- but putting it back on is difficult~
      Hope that helps,
      all the best-

  • @donaldnewton4947

    • @theUnpluggedWoodshop
      @theUnpluggedWoodshop  10 лет назад +1

      Donald,
      thanks for the question.
      Without a doubt the Jack is in my hands more than the Jointer- I was using it here because of the scale of the work. Anything over 24-in. I use the Jointer.

    As tedious as that looks it looks way better than going to a gym and lifting weight for the sake of lifting weight. At least you've got something to show for your effort. How long does that take for you to do without the camera on and how long would it take a new woodworker?

    • @theUnpluggedWoodshop

      Thanks for the question and comments. If you're asking how the long entire table took me, hard to say as I was writing my book and shooting everything as I went. I'd guess that it would probably be in the 120 + hours..? Just a guess.

  • @qigong1001
    @qigong1001 8 лет назад

    Tom, I'm having a terrible time hand planing ( #8 jointing plane) over softwood knots. The plane just rides ride over it. So, its really hard to get a flat surface. I have to work with what I've got. I've resorted to chiseling them down, but thats a pain. Any advice would be much appreciated.

    • @theUnpluggedWoodshop
      @theUnpluggedWoodshop  8 лет назад

      Thanks for the question- If the plane is skating over the knots then it sounds like its a sharpening issue. Try putting a razor edge on the iron and take a lighter cut. Work across the grain and when you get to a knot, really slow down and try to slice it instead of passing over or banging into it. Knots are never fun to deal with-; ) best of luck with it.

    • @qigong1001
      @qigong1001 8 лет назад +1

      Tom Fidgen I have been banging those knots! I think I've been losing my edge that way. I will try. I thought my edge was pretty sharp, but after all that banging...I probably just destroyed the edge. It is a thinner old blade. I'm wondering if a thicker blade will hold an edge longer? Thanks!

    • @theUnpluggedWoodshop
      @theUnpluggedWoodshop  8 лет назад

      yeah, thicker blades are worth the investment. You'll find replacement blades through many of the modern tool manufacturers- these new blades will fit your old Stanley ( or similar ) and keep an edge much longer. If you have a block plane, you could sharpen that up and hit only the knot areas first, with the smaller plane, and then finish the top with the larger plane. always options! best of luck~

      I would only use a Scrub plane if the mill/saw marks were extremely deep- these days I prefer to use a Jack and/or Jointer, depending on how large the work is...
      I find Scrub planes remove more material than is necessary.

      But this scrub plane business...
      I was told by a man I worked for that the scrub was never really used by a joiner...they were more aimed at framers/house builders as ripping 1/4 or so off a 2x4 could be done faster than with a hand saw and more accurately than a hatchet.
      I like to believe him. Has the scrub plane always been in woodworking shops?...ain’t it just an ol wore out coffin plane with the points rounded off the blade ?

That said, sometimes wood does tear-out and when it does I don't worry too much. I will just stop and go re-sharpen my tools. When that doesn't work, I move to a higher angle plane. Tear out happens to everyone...it's really no worry. thanks for the questions! all the best~
