Plane adjustment mallets are a fast and easy way to adjust wooden body planes. they are also great for lateral adjustment on a lot of metal body bench planes. learning the skill of a plane adjustment hammer is a lot of fun!

Here I was yesterday watching one of Rex's videos where he was showing p plane adjustment with 2 separate hammers, and I was thinking I reckon I could make a wooden mallet with a brass socket that goes over the face of one side. Here you are showing me the exact opposite solution, which I also love!
I really love the grain on the palm handle !!!
I hope Eric has a full recovery. I had a brain tumor as well, that was discovered when I was 13 years old. Fortunately it was benign (not the C word)... But I lost 75% of field of view (I only see with the left half of my right eye) and I need to take all the hormones, because my body won't produce them anymore.
But I'm alive and well. And I still can have some fun, doing woodworking, messing with electronics or flying in FPV. So... Life's good. 😊
it’s nice knowing i’m not the only fpv pilot that also does woodworking lol
@@cjoe5977 Both are too fun hobbies to resist! 😂
“Chewing the cud” lol. Thank you james for all that you do!!!
it is the best way to focus!
Amen!!! That is why i “smile” ever time i see it…
Really beautiful work, James! 😃
About gluing the wooden tip, if you use just a few drops of CA glue, it can be easy to remove later. Just heat it a bit and the glue let it go. 😊
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Another GREAT video, James! Thank you!
I like it James👍
Thanks
Definitely need to acquire one of these
Dear Mr. James, can you please let me know how to make wooden slippers ( the "Indian Paduka" ) or refer some videos on how to make one.
Thank you.
i think jeff should make some clamp hardware kits for making beam clamps
Looked into it once. They would end up being somewhere around $100 of set.
Thanks for all your videos - you're doing a lot to make woodworking easily understood and accessible! You may have covered this in one of your other videos, but: with commercial BLO, would you still be able to use your fingers to apply it, or would the drying agents be too harsh on your hands?
thanks. probably around 90%+ woodworkers would not feel comfortable using their hands in BLO with Dryers added. but more and more brands are moving away from dryers.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo I think I'll err on the side of caution, then. 🙂 Thanks!
First!
This video is so great I can barely handle it.
Woot woot
Great video
Very cool!
When you apply the Linseed Oil, how do you get rid of the smell from your hands? One of the reasons I always were disposable gloves when finishing is the smell left in your skin that soap and water don't get rid of
with home made there is not much smell, and a good scrub with soap cleans them quickly.
Most "boiled linseed oil" these days isn't actually boiled but has chemical drying agents mixed in. That might be your problem.
If the oil gets old, it starts to smell bad. Might need a new jug?
I want to see the video of you fixing it!
Thankfully because the socket is smaller at the bottom and bigger at the top, this one was able to slide out without much fuss. Then flip it around and put in a slightly larger wedge
I'm taking the microwave trick. I'm kicking myself for not thinking of that. That solves one issue I've been working through for a new mallet I've been working on.
To be sure the wood is totally dry I weigh it before I start and when I take it out reweigh. When it stops loosing weight it is done. This does not work well for very small pieces as my scale is not that accurate. For the microwave experiment with short times. The oven set at 250 is also a good option. When do we get to see your mallet? Also do not kick yourself for not knowing this one, please let us do it!
@@reedplanes728 thanks! With any luck I'll have a working prototype before the end of the year. I have a plane to finish, more plane hammers to make, and I'm building a new shop.
When you line uo for that kick just make it a swift one!
Did you have to stabilize the spalted maple?
not with this one. the spalting is just as hard as the rest.
"Oops, put it on upside-down." Been there and done that.
Try heating the mallet in the oven for a little while and it will expand enough to slip on the handle easier and when it cools it will give you a nice tight fit
For something this small the expansion would be almost immeasurably small. To get a miserable expansion it would have to be hot enough to burn the wood.
Are you a drinking man just getting hammered?😂
Does it make you a hammer handler now?
Ew palm why?? Haha. I’ve tried working with about 80 different kinds of wood and my least favorites were probably palm and wenge. Teak gets annoying too unless you just love sharpening.
I concur. Palm is actually a grass. Not a wood, but that's what the winner of the auction decided he wanted, so that's what I used.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo whoops!! Sorry winner, great choice! Lol. It def looks really cool and unique, just really different to work with.
It don't need fixed
squirrel
it's just custom 😂
