I really like the relaxed way you show your expertise without bragging. ❤ Thank you!

Goodness, I'm seven episodes behind! I'll better catch up! Thanks for all the wonderful videos, Graham. And the books, of course!

I heard that "phew" after finishing that last rabbet! Woodworking by hand is work.

Another nice, “no faff” demonstration. The tip on drawing the plane back first to score the wood is a good one, also like the extended fence. 🙏

Thanks, Graham. I found it particularly helpful to watch the triangle marking method again, with 4 vertical sides of a rectangle. I can only remember watching other examples for boards that are being joined flat, instead of upright; of course it's exactly the same, but I just couldn't wrap my head around it. Now I just need to find me a Stanley No. 289 - that is a sweet little plane.

Simple way to make any box. The triangle explanation connected with me today. Not sure why, I didn’t understand the whole concept before. Thanks.

Thank you! RWB ❤🎉

Thanks Graham - Great Video. Much Appreciated.

Thanks a lot, Graham! That's more than a lesson! 😃 I'm going to try something similar soon! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Graham, you had me scratching my head where you were from to start with. You had some Americanisms plus some English. The the penny dropped and I figured you were Aussie. I love watching trained craftsmen doing videos so I subscribed, Do you know of Jim Kingshott? I think that was his name. He was a lovely old bloke who knew what he was doing.

Well done, Graham!

Thanks Graham

Thank you Graham, l enjoy your unassuming style of instruction. Good work, hand tool use is definitely elevated when one understands how it is accomplished by a master.

Thank you

You always make it look so simple. Great share. Thanks

Nice.

Thank you, Mr. Blackburn! I bought "Woodworking Handtools Instruments & Devices". I think it is very comprehensive. Have you written a book on setting up, fettling, & using a hand plane? Or a book on the basics of furniture making? Have a GREAT day, Neighbor!

There are other planes that will cut a rebate such as the 78, the 45, or the 55. Are there other planes (excluding a handful of wooden moulding planes, and excluding the dreaded power tools 😉) in the lineup that will also work? Sorry - I like to think outside the normal realm, and then ask questions to try to determine if there are still other possibilities 🤷🏻‍♂️ My original thought was to just rig up a fence on a 5, cut a knife line in place of the spur cut, mark your depth and watch for your cut to get to your mark. But that won’t work, or, at the least, you wouldn’t be able to make your entire rebate that way because your cutter isn’t open at the edge of your sole and therefore it’s unable to cut the entire required width of your rebate. Which brings another question to mind - were rebates cut with a saw at one time, cutting across the grain and then cutting down the end grain? Were they called a rebate cut? Were there other methods in use before toolmakers came to the rescue with cast-body tools? Oi, vey - so many questions, so little time!! Good drawer build, and nice demo of your 289 - thanks, Graham!

Sir, I am an novice, please advise how you prevent rust from planes, chisels, etc Thank you

You make it look so easy but when I do it, my depth is uneven, too deep in the exit side of the plane, the rabbet is not square, and I have a bead to clean up in the corner. Is that why your hair is grey and you can now make clean rabbets?
