Right on. I have one of those in my stock too.

I got a veritas inlay blade for my 71, and it works great with the guide.

thanks Steve! dont have too much fun!

Thanks Bill. My pleasure.

My pleasure Jett. Have fun with it.

thanks Chris. glad I could help.

+Darryl Stevens nice. Don't have too much fun with it.

+Bawdsey64 so true. Love that beast!

Sounds like fun.

Fantastic! Sounds like fun!

Thanks Man! do you have one?

it's on the to get list but I have a power router that gets the job done for now.

My pleasure. don't have too much fun with the new toy!

thanks Allan. I love using the router plane whenever I can!

+Arnold Espenberg well thank you. That means A lot.

Thanks! it sure is a fun one!

I have a project coming up where I will be using it a lot hopefully I can show it off a bit more.

thanks. that is the way I like to do it!

Thanks Bill. Such a fun tool. Let me know if you have any questions.

+Barry Lowis any time. Thanks for watching.

thanks. I am glad you liked it.

Thanks Man! Glad you liked it. Do you have one?

+Wood By Wright I do not, but after watching a few videos on how to make, one I will!

Sweet! looking forward to seeing it!

and a surprisingly easy one to make. It was one of the first I ever made. Thanks man!

Will do! Thanks. what tool do you want to see next?

Thanks! Sounds like a fun time ahead of you.

Sweet. it is a fun tool!

ooo yes....its going to be a joy to use. thanks again and wooowww...your channel is really growing. congratulations sir

Thank you! I usually find a way to use it on every project but that is mostly due to how fun it is.

perfict. Thanks for watching

the smaller end is if you are using the 1/4" cutter head. great for creating 1/4" groves. I do not know what the threads are. i would have to take it to the hardware store and test them. sorry.

Thanks. that is one of the reasons I mad mine that I used for a long time. it works well and I probably would not have gotten one except for when I saw this one. a friend of mine found it wrapped in the original packing in the box with sales tags and everything unused. at $125 it was a steel! but to find one with a bit of rust with one blade but in functional condition fair price around me is about $60 in poor condition or missing parts it is around $30 good condition with all the parts is around $100 or more.

That is a job where it defenetly shines.

+Walter Rider no thank you!

rot really I usually keep the bed on it as it does not get in the way that often but can be relay useful! I bet you are busy! those chars are looking FAB!

Thanks! do you have one?

I have the Lee Valley small and large router planes. They are so handy to have!

now you are making me jealous! I so want the small one.

I used the small one today for cutting hinge mortises and its amazing. (Don't tell anyone but I didn't even sharpen the blade or clean the base off before using it lol).

LOL Nice. that is one job where they realy shine!

Sure. I use it on most all of my tools.

I have done that a few times too. It works great!

that is for putting in a fake sole to fill the bridge, or to put in a depth stop so you can cut a groove.

I will take a look at it and see what mine is. and very true along the edge should be parallel to the bed but back from the blade should be about 5 degrees or so. I could have been a bit more clear on that.

Great question. first I would ask what you want the fence for? I have only used it once, and that was because I was feeling lazy! LOL, but if I were to make one I would cut two slots in a plank and put two screws into he body the slots would allow it to slide in and out from the iron. much how a classic Rebate plane fence would work. I would love to see what you come up with.

Mostly wanting to cut long, straight grooves in hardwood (truss-rod slots in a guitar neck and a banjo neck). Don't have a plow plane or a combo plane. Also interested in finding a way to cut short rabbets around a curve without using power router (for putting binding on the edges of the guitar body).

well to have it make a groove or rabbit you would have to have a soul or depth stop in front oof the cutter. or you would have to slowly advance the router with each pass. for a rabbit it might be faster and easier to make a rabbit plane for a chisel. that is not to say that it can not make the cut, but it is not the first tool I would think about to make it. the other option would be to cut the two walls of the groove with a saw then to remove the waste with a router. that way you do not have to worry about chip out.

it is more practicing not moving the arm and elbow. keep them locked and move at the waist or ankle. that will make it so there is less pivot at the tool.

Here is the list of my equipment. www.woodbywright.com/tool-suggestions/av-equiptment I usually tell people to start with your phone. Most phones now are just as good if not better than a GoPro. The only down side is the audio. You can not plug in a secondary or lapel mic. My suggestion is, make a bunch of videos with your phone and then ask yourself if you like making artistic shots or if you just want to collect the information for a video. If you are in the first group you are about to spend $2000+ on video equipment. If you are in the second group, then a GoPro and handheld gyro will be all you need. that being said you will never know what you want till you shoot and edit a bunch of videos first. So don't spend any money yet. at least that is my advice.

Wood By Wright thank you sir, I think that is a good place to start. My wallet will like it better as well..

you could, but that would take a bit more work to cut around the block at the end.

Usually if you are making a groove you remove most of the waste with a chisel then clean out the last 1/16-1/8" with the router.

great find! sounds like some fun ahead for you. Yes, Veritas router blades will work.

Thank you Sir... Oh yeah... Forgot to mention... Full set of Erwin auger bits with Flat head screw driver on the Org. Erwin wooden dovetailed box... The bits are still sharp... too! crazy find... Thank you for the inspiration and videos...

the flat of the blade should be about 5 degrees up from parallel with the bed. but the blade tip should be perfectly parallel with the bed. the Veritas irons will work with Stanley's. but if you want original Stanley blades usually the best place to find them is on eBay.

LOL thanks. that means a lot. They are all very different tools for very different uses. and I don't think it would be right to pick one of them as I do not know what project you will be doing. I always suggest to buy the tool for a specific use in a project rather than just buying the tool to have on hand.

Wood By Wright can you recommend a video explaining the differences and uses of each?

here is the video on the 45 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aNiiqZCalZmseqc.html I do not know of any video comparing a 45 and a router. they do completely different work so there is not much to compare. the 45 plows groves and moldings where as the Hand router will cut one surface to be parallel to a second higher surface.

Awesome. Thanks. I think? Want to tell you as an auto technician in my day. I enjoyed working hand tools over power too. Production killed that love. But I think I've found it again. Keep up the great work.

+Greg's Woodworking sweet. I have not come across that yet. Now I want.

You can. a rabbit is just s groove that is missing a side. just set the fence for how wide you want the rabbit. you will be limited to as thin as your thinnest iron but there are not many rabbits that are thinner then 1/4"

Thanks. The one in the video is a #71 the 1/2 does not have the open mouth bridge.

Wood By Wright Great, thanks!

nmssis any time!

That was a poor choice of words for me. Sorry I was wanting to say it would limit the depth of cut as you were stating not as in a depth stop like on the Veritas stem nut. Sorry for the confusion. I had already shot the section cutting the grove. but the video was contaminated. And I had to settle for the clip with out the stem in place.

that one came to me still wrapped in the packaging and with tags on! love that bird!

It depends on where you're at and what condition you're looking at. If you're in the Midwest and you're willing to get one that needs some work and comes with one iron, then you're probably looking around $80. It's been at that price for about the last 5 to 6 years. But if you're on the west coast, that same plane has gone way up and will now run you 160 plus. But if you're wanting one with all the extras, the sky is the limit right now. They're usually about the same price or a little bit more than a new one from varitis.

Thanks for the reply. I’m in Washington at the moment, so I guess I’ll be looking at the $160+ range. :( Still, have a great night!

Ya where you are newer is almost certainly cheaper and better user in the long run.

Those are not easy to find and the price on them is going through the roof lately. I would suggest going on handtoolfinder.com there are quite a few of them listed on those online sellers.

@@WoodByWright Thank you sir!

Yeah. For some reason the UK stuck with wooden hags tooth a lot longer than the US did so there aren't many of them there to pick from.

@@WoodByWright cheers bro, that's interesting 👍

What do you need to know? Those are really good plans. If you want something specific you can send me an email at jameswright@woodbywright.com

I have since moved all of the teaching videos like this over to the second channel. This channel is now just the builds without any talking.
