Making a plane handle

Making a replacement handle for a record bench plane from black walnut. Also this is referred to as a tote.

Ian, another enjoyable video. Since watching your videos I have spent time properly sharpening my chisels and plane blades. I always knew what I had to do but was rather tardy and sharpened them to an OK standard. What a difference it has made doing it properly.

Glad to hear it. I tend to get a bit carried away and spend hours sharpening anything I can find, even things already sharpened and not used. I need to rein it in a little. Don't let it get out of control.

@@ianswindell I must admit to having spent the best part of a day sharpening.

Superb concise video detailing the process of making a replacement handle to a plane. The marking out content and and means by which the central hole was created were particularly interesting and useful. Many thanks for sharing your knowledge!

I do quite a lot of drilling on the lathe.
