Hand planes remove excess material and shape wood without creating a great deal of noise or dust. There are hundreds if not thousands of different plane type bodies and they all serve a purpose. WOOD magazine's David Thiel discusses four types of hand planes you should have in your shop: Block Plane, Jack Plane, Shoulder Plane and Jointer Plane.

9:45 A jack plane is a No. 5, not a No. 4, which is what you're using. Also, the tote is the rear handle. The front is called a knob.

Keeps calling a No.4 (Smoothing plane) a jack plane.... Good work Wood Mag!

I know, its very frustrating. Not to mention he calls the knob a "front tote" NO The tote is the rear handle. The front is called the knob.

Thanks for the video... According to Paul Sellers, if you can only have one bench plane, make it a #4...

Hi ther, Really good explanation about the 4 different planes you need to have in a shop. Cool. Love to se it, show some more ty. And as you have probably have read from the other comments so is a Smoother plan = (3, 4, 4 1/2) you shows a no 4. (and is easy to see). :) Jack plan = (5, 5 1/4, 5 1/2, 6) Jointer plan =(7, 8) But still make some more you tube movies. We all make mistankes. Bedst regarts.

I was overwhelmed by the many suggestions out there about how to properly use hand planes and types. Your video was so helpful and easy to follow. Now, I am ready to buy my planes and get to work. Thanks for making this instructional video.

thank you, i only have a number 5, but looking forward to get a shoulder and a jointer plane. i find myself using the hand plane a lot, instead of turning on the noisy electric jointer.

If you only have one a No. 5 is the one to have.

What lumber yard/store would allow you to start planing away boards?

@Wood 2 жыл бұрын

Hardwood dealers and mills that sell skip-planed lumber. If the wood is already surfaced, as in home centers, you don't need to plane it to see what the grain looks like.

Could you please tell me the manufacturer of the block plane you used in the show. Nice show and thanks! HPB 1/31/23, 2:10 ET

What you call a jack plane is a #4 smoothing plane. The frog is adjustable to control the throat.

@multidinero 4 жыл бұрын

The #4 and #5 are pretty close in size and usability. Honestly, you could have either a #4, 4 1/2, 5, or a 5 1/2 and they’ll all be able to do the job of jack or smoother with just a blade change. As for the frog being adjustable, you may not want to move it unless you want to remove more material, as in if you’re making your jack into a scrub plane.

@1pcfred 4 жыл бұрын

@@multidinero the plane shown in this video is definitely more 4 than 5 sized. I'd call a 4 a smoothing plane too.

@alangreen3425 3 жыл бұрын

The plane you called a shoulder plane is also commonly called a bullnose plane for more than a century. Though it could be used as a shoulder plane and would take a lot of getting accustomed too, it's primary use and design was for planing up into tight corners. A true shoulder plane is a lot longer and more stable.

@@multidinero theres a pretty significant diff in size from a 4 to a 5

@multidinero 3 жыл бұрын

@@waratahdavid696 the difference in size is negligible. The #5 is longer and usually heavier, but can still be utilized in a smoother capacity. That’s the beauty of planes. A #5 can be a Jack, a smoother, or a scrub with the simple change of blades and a mouth adjustment.

Good night! Would like to be advised where I can obtain a jointer plane to buy. Please advise.

@thomasalton2804 Жыл бұрын

I note the complete absence of any discussion of fences. Would, for example, a fence be useful with a jointer plane? Otherwise very informative video and intro to hand planes.

A well set up and tuned No 5 can do most things, and that is perhaps why there are more No 5's in the world than any other. It can also be used as a scrub plane by simply switching out the iron. I have many times wondered why 50 odd years ago at high school where the woodwork room had a cupboard full of No 5's rather than any thing else as I thought at the time that they were a little cumbersome for 12 and 13 year olds to handle and master. It was only a few years ago that the penny dropped - those No 5's were JACK Planes, good for almost any purpose. Finally, why have one plane when you can have 4, in fact why have 4 when you can have 17 like I do..... a No 3, 2 No 4's, a No 4 1/2, 2 No 5's, a No 6, a No 7, a No 10 Carriage plane, a No 71, 2 No 78's, 2 Block planes, a Plough plane, a Shoulder plane and a No 80 Scraper. Most have been bought used from carboot sales. NO, I am not a collector, these have all been bought to be used and not to sit in a glass display case. Dare I say that this is about the best fun you can have with your pants on!! Anyway, great video, thanks for the time and effort to make and share it.
