    Thank you! No matter how many times I watch your videos, I always learn something. Being a newbie to traditional hand tools, I've been guilty of holding the knob when dimensioning wood. I can confirm how tricky it is to keep the plane steady. Lesson learned!

    Hello Graham. I am very happy to see that you are imparting your knowledge unto the masses. I took a class from you about 20 years ago at a woodworking show in Orange County, California, USA. What I learned from you transformed my woodworking life. Thank you, thank you and thank you again. One take away was that if I wanted to earn more from the sale of my pieces, I should use more premium woods such as curly, quilted, rare and exotic woods, and learn how to work around their unique characteristics. You spent a good amount of time talking about hand planing and how to effectively plane these difficult woods. This crucial step allowed me to reliably produce stunning finishes with an abundance of chatoyance. Thank you again. I hope that our paths cross again.

    I acquired an old vintage Record jack some years ago, and I love it. The sensory feedback is remarkable. I can literally feel when I'm out of square when planing an edge. Plus the light weight requires little expenditure of energy. Great video you made here, Mr Blackburn.

    I love wooden planes more than iron planes in most cases. A good iron plane makes prestine surfaces and edges. This is what i use them for. All other tasks, wooden planes are better for me. Softer, lighter, rasiert to handle. But thats personal preference. Love Spur video!

    If you flatten the sole without the iron bedded in the plane, it will not be flat. When you put tension on the body with the iron/wedge it changes the geometry of the body.
    You need to have the iron bedded andset back from the mouth to truly flatten a plane, any plane.

    • @gjbmunc
      @gjbmunc  11 месяцев назад

      I always do this, but better quality planes, such as the newer Lie-nielsons, are made with much stronger bodies than Stanleys precisely for this reason.

      The Stanley No 5 or 6, but check out Rex Kreger's channel for more info on Stanley Kacks and Smothers. In any event I still prefer an approx. 16in. long wooden jack.

  • @brianmason5500
    @brianmason5500 Год назад

    I don't understand how a perfectly flat bottom equates to a straight edge by itself. Would you not need to flatten the plane body sides to be sure?

    • @gjbmunc
      @gjbmunc  Год назад

      You do indeed need square sides if you want to plane a straight AND square edge ( see episodes 7 and 11). But a 'straight' edge (not necessarily also 'square') is achieved when a perfectly flat-bottomed sole takes a continuous shaving. Hope this helps.

    I've got a bog standard Stanley no.5 Jack Plane, which I use for pretty much everything as I'm not well off enough to be able to afford a planer/thicknesser. Some really good points in that video. Just wondering though. In America, they don't generally tend to stock beechwood in lumber yards (and I don't believe they ever have). Wooden bench planes are generally made out of beech, as it's good and hard and (in Europe) easy to get hold of. So are the American made Bench Planes made out of something like hickory or maple, rather than beechwood? It looks like the ones in your video are European beech ones. Are they from Europe (the UK) or are they American made?? I've got one of those Scottish planes actually, all beat up. I'm going to have to find out how much mine is worth! And I'm down just down the road (in Dumfries and Galloway in Scotland) where it was made in Ayr.

    • @gjbmunc
      @gjbmunc  2 года назад

      Most American-made wooden planes were indeed made from beech although one does come across the odd lignum vitae, etc. plus there are a few new makers, but they tend to be VERY expensive.

      You don't say where or in what country you live but one place would be Ebay. Another example of what shows up if you google 'wooden hand planes' is www.theenglishwoodworker.com/getting-the-gist-of-wooden-planes/
      The web is full of links. Fleamarkets, yard sales, and old antique stores are other possibilities.

    What was the technique used to flattening long faces that were more than twice the length of the plane?

    • @gjbmunc
      @gjbmunc  Год назад

      Use a jointer plane, with or without a guide to keep the edge square. and if the sole of the plane is perfectly flat, then when you can take a continuous shaving from end to end you know the edge is perfectly straight. (Episodes 11 an 7 wil help.)

      @@gjbmunc Thank you. If someone were planing a surface that would even be too long for a jointer plane, would the solution be to divide the board into sections, flatten those, and then level them to a continuous shaving?

    Catch 22. To ensure your plane is flat, put it in a vice and flatten the sole with a known flat plane.
    Question: - how do you get the first plane flat?

    • @gjbmunc
      @gjbmunc  Год назад

      Yes, it is a bit of a catch 22 if you're starting from scratch, the trick is bit by bit from one plane to the other!
