- Welcome to part 4 of my building tools to build tools to build furniture series! In this one, we are going to be building a very simple grooving plane. The beauty of this plane is the simplicity of the build. Basically, all we do is build the same rabbet plane from the previous build but with one addition cut. The other benefit is that the plane dimensions can be easily adjusted to suit your groove cutting needs. And since this plane comes together quickly, this means you can easily build a set of planes with different cutting widths that will suit the grooves you find yourself cutting the most.
This will be the last build before building a piece of fine furniture! So if you are interested in that video consider subscribing so you won't miss it when it comes out!
-- Building Tools to Build Tools to Build Furniture --
This series has organically come about as I've grown my workshop over the last year. After making my own tools to help me make other tools and other projects I realized that each of the tools I made kept building on each other. The first tool I ever made were winding sticks. I then used these to square up my stock for creating my own router plane. Then I decided I wanted to build a small hanging wall cabinet but realized if I had a rabbet plane and a grooving plane that it would make building the cabinet a whole lot easier. So I looked up how to make a rabbet plane and a grooving plane and realized I should make the rabbet plane first because I could use it to help me make a grooving plane. At this point it dawned on me that I was creating a step-by-step series that would walk someone who has a basic set of hand tools through a process of building their own tools that would enable them to build a piece of furniture. And so was born the "Building Tools to Build Tools to Build Furniture" series!
My hope, to whoever is reading this, that if you are just starting out in woodworking or looking to get into hand tool woodworking that these videos would inspire you. That you would be able to see what is possible with only a small collection of tools. That you would have a roadmap of the tools to make first and that you would ultimately be encouraged to get into the shop and begin building your collection of tools! Happy building!
-- Perquisite Tools For This Series --
Here is a list of the tools I'm assuming you already have in order to make the tools in this series. Yes, I understand the irony of having a list of tools required in a series about making tools, but you gotta have some starting point.
** Saws **
If you were going to get just one saw I would get the Ryoba.
- Dozuki: amzn.to/3zy9bwu (not fully necessary, but can be helpful)
- Ryoba: amzn.to/3nU9m33
** Chisels **
You really only need one chisel which could be a used one you, but I picked up a set of richter chisels and I would recommend them if you're willing to spend some money.
- Richter 1/4: amzn.to/3CwbMJ4
- Richter 1/2: amzn.to/2XOkT9m
- Richter 3/4: amzn.to/3hU7Rhy
- Richter 1: amzn.to/2XRlhUD
- Richter Set of 5: amzn.to/3EKAZkT
** Mallet **
I love and would highly suggest the dual headed rubber mallet...or you could make your own!
- Rubber hammer: amzn.to/3CCqhLv
- Make your own joiners hammer: • Build this amazing tra...
** Squares **
I use a pass me down combination square so I don't have any recommendations for one, but here's a link to how to true up a combination square if you find one at a garage or estate sale

Nice left handed plane!
The best part of making your own tools is to customize them to fit you.
Thanks! This is very true too!
Best thing is to groove both parts and then use a loose tongue. That way both boards are the same. No misalignment.
This is a great idea!
Beautiful work, dude! Really well done! 😃
I just subscribed! Keep the videos coming!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks!
I have been having problems identifying the cross-section profile of grooving planes to build my own. This video is very detailed and helpful, thank you!
Awesome! Glad it was helpful and good luck on your plane!
No over-the-top production theatrics. Just straightforward, honest discussion. I want to build one of these for the groove in small boxes. I don't want anything adjustable (like you) - this is a purpose-built tool. This is the one that I'll build. (It might also inspire me to restore the rabbet plane that is on the shelf!)
Excellent presentation and keep up the good work❤
Very straight forward! I like the simplistic way you explain things, easy to understand. Great job.🎉
Thanks! Glad it is easy to understand! That's the hope!
Really interesting video. You've inspired me to give it a go. I'll have to convert everything to metric, though.
Awesome!
Very cool! Genius. I love discovering videos like this where one can learn to make hand tools that actually work. Thanks for sharing. I'm going to give this a shot.
Thanks! Good luck!
Really enjoying your videos. I have a lot of mistakes to unlearn, and you have great pointers. You have attacked your woodworking in such a very logical sequence. Well done!
Thank you! Glad it has been helpful!
New subscriber on account of your style, the simplicity and ease of this tool and the creativity behind making tools to make the next tool, to make the furniture item at the end. Quite brilliant and logical, really.
Thanks Lito! Glad to have you following along!
Excellent!
So glad you made. Video on how to make this!
Great job with this video. I just came across your channel and really like it. I appreciate how you can do a tutorial and keep under 15 min. I really like your idea on the perpendicular and angled saw guides. Subscribed. Looking forward to your future content. Thanks.
Thank Dave! Glad to have you following along!
Kudos
Well done- loved the simplicity.
Thanks!
Nice idea...
I like it I think I could build this thankyou
Great tutorial video. Easy to follow, and a great job making a plow plane.
Thanks!
Great build!
Thanks!
Another useful tool-great job!
Thanks Rod!
I like the lamination style of building. I guess this could be made out of plywood in layers if need be.
Yeah it could!
Great job, dude! Looking forward that next video.
Thank you! It is coming along slowly but excited to have it out soon hopefully!
Awesome homemade tool. I'll bet it does feel good using it!
It sure does! My favorite tool to use in the shop!
I recently got into woodworking and came to a conclusion: you need to make a shooting board to square things, then you can make a router plane, with that you can make a rabbet plane and with that you can make a plow plane. I was looking for info to do this and found your channel that has a series with this same idea. Do you use your regular chisel on your planes (getting them in and out every time you need to) or do you just leave the plane with a dedicated chisels??
I don't have any dedicated chisels for the tools. I usually sharpen the chisel before using the plane anyway so I don't feel like I need a dedicated chisel and can just use my regular bench chisels.
Could you make the body 1/2” so the offset would be 1/4” instead of 3/16”? I am thinking of putting my drawer bottom groove 1/4” above the bottom instead of 3/16”. Thanks.
Wonderful work. I’m curious on why you chiseled vs using a rasp on rounding your corners (just curious not critical 😁). Cheers!
I used a chisel because I didn't have a good enough rasp 😂
@@DaughtersWoodCo ha! I can identify. Great project series, though. It’s inspiring me as I try to move more to hand tools. A buyer is picking up my DeWalt planer today (those new Lie-Nielsens aren’t paying for themselves). Cheers.
On the starting piece....You mentioned the length was 10 inches. What is the width?
Thanks for making this video. I’m also interested in learning how to build furniture and my budget and work space doesn’t allow me to run out and buy a bunch of machines.
Anyway, my question is - Does the chisel sit bevel up or down or doesn’t it matter?
Glad the video is helpful!
And you'll want the chisel to sit bevel down.
@@DaughtersWoodCo what happens when the bevel is up?
@@LitoGeorge It mostly likely will not cut. It may but probably not very well. When you have it bevel up it changes the angle of the blade meeting the wood.
@@DaughtersWoodCo Thank you very much. I learned this in the last 4 days as I sharpened a new to me Stanley 110 and tried it bevel up. Crikey moses. Put it bevel down and immediate improvement. Of course its not a great little plane. I enjoyed this series of yours and will be emulating your steps in time. Happy to be a viewer.
@@LitoGeorge Glad to have you along! And I'm glad switching the bevel made the plane work better for you! Maybe you're already familiar with these style of planes but if you've ever heard of "low-angle" planes these are ones where the iron bed is at a significantly lower angle then tradition planes and because of the lower angle these planes are used with the bevel up. Apparently people really like them for some tasks but I've never tried them personally.
What kind of wood is that u use ??! Not pine maple I think!!!!🤔
You're correct! It is soft maple.
