I recently purchased a couple of really cheap planes and was thinking of turning one into a scrub plane. After seeing how easy it was to convert, I think I'm convinced.
great vid. I'm in the same boat. I have two blades for my #5. But I was worried about excessive wear on the sole if I use it as a dual purpose scrub. What do you think?
Nice I got a cheap bench plane and the chip breaker doesn't work real well on it so I was thinking of maybe turning it into a scrub plane so this video is very helpful. One question: do you think there would be an advantage to starting off with a file? It seemed like this went pretty quickly but hard to tell since its edited.
Hey! I assume a file wouldn’t work well since the steel is hardened. But if you can get it to cut is would definitely go faster. This is about 30 mins of shaping I believe. Also about that chip breaker, there are ways to improve performance. Is it just flimsy or is it a fit issue? I and a lot of other people “sharpen” a bevel on the underside of the older style chip breakers so they rest on a very thin edge only when tightened to the iron.
When you drew the arc on the blade in the beginning of the video, is there a reason you did not center the blade on the bench dog from which the arc was formed?
Actually, I just went back and watched again, and if you go to 1:51, you will see a jump in the edit. I didn’t show myself shifting the blade over, centering it on the dog. I hope that helps!

Really great demonstration. I love that you did it with just sandpaper. No electrons involved.😊
Thanks! I wasn’t too bad :)
thanks this was great information, i am trying to convert a old plane i got in a yard sale to be a scrub plane and have no grinder so this helps alot
This method has been very helpful to me. I'm very thankful 🙏

I'm going to do this for my old Stanley/Defiance #4 iron. Thank you! This is exactly what I need.
Well done bro.

Very informative and clear video - seems to be a very nice result too! Thanks for sharing!
Nice video! I think I'm going to try this. Accidentally won 2x No4 Stanley's on eBay
Nice! Got love the surprise auction win :) My no.4 scrub is great!
Nice job

😂 no! Just a mistake I’m sure. Anytime I sharpen it, I make sure the peak of the radius is close to the middle is all. Good catch!
