First intro to scraper planes was a violin shop..nice job to excellent detail.

I both love and hate these videos of you working with boxwood Love because of the lovely tools and handles you make with it And hate because seeing the creamy color of the wood and it’s shavings makes me hungry lol

not a toy to me, coolest small hand plane ever

On this small scale you can really appreciate the fine texture of the boxwood.. it looks like butter!

You are an artesan. That is a work of art.

Certainly not a toy! So useful to have different size scraper planes. Once again, master tool maker at work. I learn so much watching you, thanks kindly once again.

Spóźniłem się na premierę, ale obejrzałem Twój film kilka razy. To co wyczyniasz z bukszpanem to naprawdę sztuka, aż się nie chce wierzyć że to się dzieje. Jesteś arcymistrzem, a do tego artystą w pełnym znaczeniu tego słowa . Piękny akcent na koniec urlopu.

It is a small great work of art! You are a great craftsman . CONGRATULATIONS❗️

2024! Have watched several times over the years, still informing!!!

One of those tools you don't know you need until you're in middle of a project and suddenly you realize it's the perfect solution to a problem.

It’s pouring rain in Australia today so I thought I’d watch your videos today. I love the little squirrel plane well actually I love all your plane builds I wish I had your skills with timber. Your videos inspire me to start making planes. So thanks for that and thank you for sharing your knowledge on KZfaq

Your use of a mirror and lighting from below is brilliant.

Not a toy at all, a freaking awesome tool!!!! God bless you man!

No more words... simple perfect.

That’s a lot of work for that tiny plane. I love the stylings. Beautiful work as always!

I just watched you make a beautiful and useful tool of what most would consider garbage ! This channel has a Paul sellers meets Jimmy Diresta feel to it . Outstanding

Turns out you can convey a surprising amount of instructions without using words...

sweet job

Good Job Sir!!!. Very nice wood !!!!!

A piece of wood rescued from the fireplace becomes a useful tool! Fantastic!

Lovely boxwood here!!! So fine grain. Thanks for sharing!!

Witam i pozdrawiam!!Swietnie wykonany maly poreczny strug gladzik,duza wiedza z obrobki drewna i duza dokladnosci przynosi sukces,dobry pokaz filmu!!Tak dalej!!

Stavros this is both a work of art and a very handy tool. Made in the tradition of great joiners and luthiers etc who often made their own tools. Bravo. Loved the video. Thank you.

Idealne wideo do porannej kawy!!! Jesteś wielki a twoje pracę są mistrzowskie!!!

Honestly, I cannot stop watching your videos but I’m just mesmerized and intimidated to even try to do what u do. Amazing.

Jak zwykle duża precyzja wykonania. Im mniejszy strug, tym więcej pracy trzeba poświęcić i uwagi. Kąt osadzenia noża powoduje poprawne struganie zarówno zgodnie ze słojami drewna, jak też "pod włos". Tego jeszcze nigdzie nie widziałem i dotychczas uważałem, że to niemożliwe do wykonania, gratuluję 👌. As always, high precision of workmanship. The smaller the stream, the more work and attention will have to be paid. The knife mounting angle causes correct planing both according to the grain of the wood and "against the grain". I have not seen it anywhere before and so far I thought it was impossible to do, congratulations 👌.

You sir are a craftsman

Such a fantastically useful and beautiful tool!

Every time I see one of your builds I am amazed. Thank you for the videos.

Absolutely incredible! 👍

Maravilha!!! Espetacular a confecção dessa plaina Rabo de Esquilo

What an amazing tool you have made, I could have used one like that on what I’m making right now Thank you for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😁

Excellent workmanship and design. Bravo!

A great tool that feels great potential for use. Thank you for sharing.

Another excellent video to watch and learn much stuff. And it resulted to an awesome little tool! Once again Stavro, many thanks for sharing!

Σταυρο bravo. It is so obvious your love for the wood. Due to that I am sure that we expect some miracles from you. Keep doing so

Excellent work as always Stavros

Amazing job man!! Just amazing!!!

ASMR style woodworking exists... I KNEW IT! thx :) rly great to watch

As always, great!

Beautiful work

Very nice, works great too! Thank you.

Great job that's a awesome little tool. Need me one of those

So surprising to see you only have 13k subs when the vids and projects are top notch. Keep up the good work, it will all pay off sooner or later.

Krótko - piękny! :)

Hey Stavros - That's no toy!! its a beautiful tool and particularly good for instrument making - Well done great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Regards Dave.

Got skills son

Ale dajesz czadu, elegancko. Pozdrowionka

Great tool!

Beautiful !

Love it!!!!!!

Nice detail on that one. It takes care of difficult grain great.

Wow, you're a master craftsman.

Fantastic tool, looks and works awesome, well done

This is amazing on so many levels. I can totally see how this could be a primary tool on my tool chest. The process, the video, everything is amazing. BTW, I have rescued a plane iron from among the ruins of an old blacksmith workshop that you have in one of your planes, the one that has tiny points in a row. I understand it was used for prepping board surfaces before gluing on the veneer. No idea how to sharpen it though. The squirrel is both cute and mighty. Thank you, Gakos!

Это лучший рубаночный маньяк!

Beautiful tool - sculptural

Wow!! a lovely piece of carpenters work it must have taken you all day to make that Good luck from Ireland

I think I would have given up cutting that slot and done it as a 4-part glue up. You have way more patience and skill than I do!

SWEET !👍🎩😎

REALLY that is a beautiful little plane . One suggestion . a BLUNT CHISEL would be very helpful for you . Go and look it up . Easy to make but invaluable .I only just found out about them .What you made is a real tool and most certainly NOT A TOY.BRAVO ,my friend BRAVO.

Mała piękna wiewiórka szacun

Woow cool man.... i like it ...salute from 🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩indonesia

Nice piece of hand craft there. Boy... that wood is hard...

Excellent as always! Fine boxwood looks alike sometimes bones or old ivory, isn't it? Gentle squirrel, with solid teeth🤣 Very good and living close up, thank

Hahaha so cute!! I just want to pet this plane :)))

That's a fun one! Wow. That's no toy, sir.

Another beautiful tool! Great job making it!!!! Enjoyed your video and gave it a Thumbs Up

you inspired me to make my own tools thanks a lot

Very nice work Σταύρο very nice.

Stavros Gakos , really nice work I like your Channel. I would like to see also a brass spokeshave made by you. Regards! Dani

Idzie jak zły 👍

Great job.Regards.

The craftsmanship in this video is superb! You definitely deserve way more subs! I'll try to share your videos as often as I can so you can get more subs. Keep it up!

Very cool. It would be cool if you carved a shallow squirrel head into the wedge.

Awesome as always! Do cutting marking or panel gauge next :)

Good job

Круто) with best regards

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Si fueras de Chile diría que la madera es guayacan

cute :)

It's so perfect that you fall in love! Maybe you should send one to Argentina ... Regards !

SQUiRReL!!

That is a steep cutting angle!

small but efficient

First to say "awesome"! :)

Круто!!!!

At first I thought the mirror on the bench was there to make the video more visually interesting. Then the penny dropped.

This is an amazing looking plane, could you provide the dimensions of it and the blade inside? I'd love to attempt to make one of a similar size, Thank you in advance for your kind reply. You do amazing work sir! To niesamowicie wyglądający samolot, czy mógłbyś podać jego wymiary i ostrze w środku? Chętnie spróbuję zrobić taki o podobnym rozmiarze. Z góry dziękuję za uprzejmą odpowiedź. Robi pan niesamowitą robotę, proszę pana!

Bien video sera q me puede indicar mas medidas para ver si puedo hacer uno me gustaria gracias

Each old Woodworker has such a small shave.

Thank you for the great videos. I wanted to know if the narrow toothed blade you use to connect drill holes in the mouth is a saw or a plane maker's float? The steel looks thicker than a keyhole saw blade, but I might be tricked by the zoomed in photography.

Oh! I get it now. You made scraper card holder. Weird, but functional. alright...

już nie wiem jak to komentować? Mistrzostwo

I made another scraping plane, but this time a little bit smaller :) To build this tool i used boxwood. The scraper was cuted from an old laminated plane blade and sharpened by Bill Carter's BLUNT CHISEL TECHNIQUE: More here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qMuPldNmsdaUhKM.html If you have any questions feel free to write a comment. Enjoy!

An apple a day keeps the doctor away.. untill you get a chisel right in your leg... no amout of apples wil help with that. All right I'm a bit lumpy I must say 😅 Maybe you could make a violin makers plane in a similair style as well? Could be an alternative to a spokeshave

Exquisite. Is boxwood the only wood for plane making?

Once upon a time when I was a young apprentice, the man I worked for made a scraper plane about that size to use for making violin bows. I wonder what you're going to use yours for?

02:54 is that a MANUAL DRILL PRESS?! :O

Really enjoy your videos. Thanks 🙏. Do you build these from plans or a book?

I'm not familiar with this tool. Is the bevel towards the handle? Do you sharpen it by drawing a burr going forward, just like a #80 cabinet scraper? So, is it a little cabinet scraper on a handle that cuts on the push?
