As a person who loves to teach woodworking to enthusiasts, I’ve got to say that this tutorial is top notch! All parts of the plane were described in logical language that can be understood very quickly. Therefore I think that you put tremendous amount of energy in making your videos successful. Also, comparison of the different plane makers comes with experience. I have never had an issue with Veritas or competitors, such as Lie Nielsen, but Veritas Lee Valley has been much more cooperative with me on many issues throughout the years. I honestly believe that your channel ought to be featured, so I will feature it in my channel with hope that you will have increase in views. Thank you again for your efforts.

I have seen dozens of plane videos.your explanation was the most honest, informative and concise. I really learned something today

4:12 - the bevel down blades generally come with a 25 degree angle on the bevel, but you want to final sharpen to a 30 degree bevel. That puts a tiny section of 30 degree on the end of the blade (that you cannot feel by hand), and that's why you use a jig. You don't WANT to match that factory installed bevel - you want to exceed it slightly. My understanding is that the reason for this is that it makes it a lot faster to sharpen, since you are working that entire wide bevel against your sharpening stone, but rather only the narrow bit that's been added to the tip.

This is THE most informative video about the workings of hand planes that I've come across. Thank you!

Blimey - I watched this last year and ended up getting the Veritas partly on the strength of your explanation. It's a lovely plane, and the plane chamfer guide really makes taking the corners off stuff easy. I built a bed frame and almost did away with sanding because of the the plane chamfer guide. I totally forgot to say THANK YOU!

U are a very instructor.. Plane and simple.

Not only an excellent video but a fantastic sense of humor. Loved it!

Another excellent video! I’m looking seriously at that Veritas Block playing!!, 👍👍👍😎🇨🇱

I love the Miller falls planes!

Stumbled on this today. Very nice video and commentary. Looking forward to reviewing all your content. Subbed!

It's been my favorite plane too for several years, it just works great and is so satisfying to use. I like the mass and weight, though it's too heavy to keep in a pocket. But now it has competition -- I recently got the Veritas large and medium shoulder planes. They are so beautifully made and work so well that now I look for opportunities to use them. The Veritas No. 4 smoother I got several years ago is nice but just not as impressive as the block and shoulder planes.

You got me wanting that veritas block plane....

Excellent presentation. Well done mate!

Wish you a million subs.. thank you for sharing, appreciate the hard work

Great explanation! Thanks for the info.

Hmm, for $10.50 that front knob for my block plane seems like a winner of an accessory. Thanks for showing it off!

Another great lesson, thanks for sharing it.

Excellent content. Very interesting and informative. (I hope that the new titling and giving the information in parts when video is lengthy. 😉)

thank you

looking forward to you opening your youtube 100k subscriber button sooner than later.

I have the Lie Nielsen small rabbiting block plane, I think I may add this block plane to the plane fleet.

nice tutorial

Almost forgot to "like," because I did!!! Really becoming a fan...cheers...rr

3:00 - "A little bit of physics." That made me laugh - that "physics stuff." I actually love physics; there's an awful lot of cool info buried in it. But yeah - when you get down to practical work, too much physics can get in the way. I just found your videos this morning and I'm loving them so far. :-)

The blade's upside down. LMAO

You say millers falls was better than stanley? Did I hear that right? Why do you say that? I've got a millers falls 9 and it is my go-to for almost everything but jointing

I absolutely love these daily tip videos. Do you have links to the planes that are in the video, maybe on amazon? And is that screwdriver hand made or can it be purchased?

You had me at "Millers Falls". I've found them to be a bargain compared to Stanleys, etal. and I love all of mine. Do you have anything to say about Japanese planes? I'm interested in them after your link to Ishitani Furniture the other day. Oh, and you love for your Veritas block plane is exactly how I feel about my Lie-Nielsen rabbet block plane. After I got it, I forgot about my other block planes completely. It's my goto guy for almost everything. Love your daily tips. Hope they're doing what you want on the KZfaq front. thanks.

was just wondering what is better about the miller falls plane to a Bailey? they look identical.

Is there such thing as a double blade plane? One where you can cut going and coming?

You should see how honking thick the single iron on an old wooden plane of mine is.

could you give me a link to a dovetail video of yours? i'v been looking for one for a while and I can't seem to find one. Btw great video! :-)

Where do you find the chip breaker screwdriver tool?

Con...cave 😂, the struggle is real brother!

You should've just ended the video after 30 seconds... lol

You are a clown, but I mean that in the nicest of ways. Nice videos. Keep up the good work.
