How to build a Krenov style high angle smoothing plane
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- In this video I make a James Krenov style high angle smoothing plane out of Vera wood that uses a 1 3/4" Hock tools plane iron.
I got the Vera wood from www.gilmerwood... out in Portland, OR
The plane iron is from Hock tools www.hocktools.com/
The wax I used to prevent glue sticking to the plane

What a joy to watch this video. This is a very beautiful project, carried out in a very masterly fashion. I enjoyed every minute of it, and greatly appreciated your very methodical and organised approach. Very successful . Full marks.
Greetings from France.
Thanks for the kind words!
@@FrankBowlesFurniture My pleasure. You deserve full praise. 🙏
Oh, I love sketchbook!!!!! I moved to Bloomington/Normal a year ago and my local Binny’s carries them. Probably one of my favorite breweries. I also love Off Color brewing. Them and sketchbook might be tied for my favorite.
I grew up in the town sketchbook is brewed! I love it so much, but I’ve moved down south so I don’t get to drink it as often haha. Only when I visit
@@FrankBowlesFurniture that’s awesome!! Have you ever tried Off Color?
I have one made by Krenov when he was selling them. I want to make my own jointer style. Thanks for sharing the process. Good stuff.
Thanks a lot your sharing and showing me a clean and beauriful palne.
Well my friend Todd will be very happy to learn about gilmerwood. thanks!
Excellent! It’s the holy grail of lumberyards with high quality wood.
Very efficient presentation! Thanks.
Blood wood and paduk smell amazing when sanded or machined as well.
Nice video. Gives all the tips i need to replicate this plane.
I did find it ironically amusing to see all the power tools used to make a hand tool.
At 10:50 you see a close-up of the grain of the wood he is working with and I tell you, I nearly fell off my chair. What beautiful, surreal detail! I've not seen anything quite like that before. Like the fine fur of a cat.
I know right?! The interlocking grain creates wonderful patterns. Thanks for watching!
Great job and video! thanks for sharing.
Could not decide on brass cross pin or krenov style wooden cross pin thanks for the help nice plane, but you already knew that.
Thanks! Feel free to message me with any questions
Easy to spot another IP grad! Great video.
Thank you! It seems that we're everywhere!!
Beautiful plane! Thank
thanks!
Hey, nice plane, great video!
Thank you!
very nice
Thank you!
Are you happy with hard exotic woods for your cross pin? Many builders suggest other more compliant woods like hickory or mahogany to grab the cap iron better. Great build!
Very interesting video and some great trips and tricks. One question, why not use miter saw to cut rear ramp? It will leave a flat and pretty smooth surface. Is it because you need to use bandsaw to cut front ramp curve anyways, going to miter saw is an extra trip?
Thank you! You can absolutely cut the rear ramp with the miter saw. My miter saw doesnt make a decent enough cut so Ill have to clean it up anyway with the low angle block plane. You're right about the forward ramp, 60 degrees is too steep for the miter saw and you want a bit of a curve to help eject shavings. So since im already there for that cut Ill just do both at the bandsaw.
Do you always want the crosspin up 1.25”, or is that specific to certain planes? Is that just something you’ve found through trial and error?
I keep my cross pin at 1.25 up from the sole for all my planes. That’s the way I learned and I’ve just kept doing it that way since
You showed the process really clearly! Nice video editing and shot production! Great narration, too! Hey, @RexKrueger you should check this guy out, maybe do a collaboration!
Thank you! I appreciate it!
Frank Bowles is light years ahead of Rex Krueger, my friend.
Hey Frank, great video, thanks for sharing. About the file you used to shape the crosspin, do you recall if it's the italian needle file offered by Lee Valley?
Thank you! I’m having trouble locating this file. I got it as a one-off, not in a set. It’s manufactured by Grobet USA and on their website I can’t seem to find that exact file. It’s a cut 00 with a safe edge. Similar to this file I linked www.grobetusa.com/swiss-precision-8-pillar-narrow-file-cut-00-item-31-230/#PhotoSwipe1603656868939
Great video. Thank you. Is that a Kreg bandsaw fence? Do you like it? I need one.
Thanks! Yeah its a kreg fence and I really like it for a smaller bandsaw. Lots of adjustability and pretty easy to take off when I dont need it. 10/10 would recommend
@@FrankBowlesFurniture Thank you.
Hey, nice work on the video! Did you choose the high angel for dealing with cranky woods? Also, looks like you studied in Inside passage :) I also made a 60 degree plane when I was there out of Ipe - not as fancy as Vera :) but I like it.
Thank you! Yeah I made the high angle for more difficult grain, and I had been looking at that Vera blank for a few years so I figured it was time haha. I did go to IP, absolutely loved it. Hope to go back one day
@@FrankBowlesFurniture is this vera harder than Ipe?
@@ignaciomarqueztorres Yes it is! If i had to chose Ipe or Vera to make a plane out of, I would go Vera all day.
