Making Chamfers is a simple and easy task done with a block plane. I do not own a chamfer plane and there is no need for it, but this Chamfer sled from REED planes has changed my mind.

James, thanks for all your help getting this design to market and for your video. That was a fun collaboration! I am working hard to get backorders filled. Thanks everyone for the kind comments, encouragement and your patience.

I have an aluminium Australian made chamfer plane that works a treat. As you are aware Australian hardwoods rate significantly higher on the Janka scale compared to US hardwoods and being prone to interlocking grain add a dimension to the job. Using an electric router is time consuming because not only do you have the usual set up time but you have to make more passes for the job. The chamfer plane can be out, done and put away before the electric router is halfway through the job, plus their is something about just using the chamfer plane that just brings joy.

A perfect fit for my kind of lazy, when a job is too small to plug in a router, and more comfortable to use than a cordless router. I'll figure it out one of these days...
@michaelcurry8905 11 ай бұрын
If you take the round-over blades to the next step you could cut more complex shapes into the blade. I find that very interesting since most of my table tops have edges that vary from simple round-overs to complex ogee-ish shapes. (I don't know who would ever want to use champfers.)

That is great. I have found that the best item in the world won't be used as often if it isn't convenient to use, and this seems to be almost as convenient as just grabbing the plane -- but with the added benefit of repeatability. Very cool!

I've got to give people that do these by hand (block plane) credit. Me... I throw a bit into my router table and do it. I'm lazy. LOL I'm in the middle of making about 250' of trim and 30 cabinet doors for my family room and kitchen remodels, all requiring chamfers. I may have to look at this tool/jig for small sections of trim. Roundovers would be beneficial for knocking the edging of door trim.

@michaelarighi5268 11 ай бұрын
Sweet! Would have been nice for chamfering the ~1000' of edge-banded plywood I just got done with a couple of weeks ago. Too late now. My little Stanley block plane, as you demonstrated, does a fine job, even without the jig. But they would have been more even and consistent with the jig.

Hey, just wanted to say that I just found your channel, and it is pretty much what I was wishing for. As someone who learned the (I would say bare necessities) of actual true woodworking in my apprenticeship as a carpenter over here in Germany, this channel really deepens my understanding of old-school as well as modern carpentry. Even tho I "specialised' in windows during my working career, wood is still a passion I want to pursue as a hobby. Thank you for your informative and simply great content.

It turned out wonderful and i used alot of ur tips and tricks and idk if i would have been able to get it looking so nicely without ur videos. So once again, thx u 😊

I like round overs. I use a block plane to do them. I've done over well 100 feet of round over, restoring various portions of the trim work in my old house. I have even matched the original rounded corners of the original trim. For me round overs are a solution to a finished trim piece that far less vulnerable to the dings of daily life than a single sharp corner or the two sharp corners of a chamfer. Less splinter potential, too, since those sharp edges are where splinters seem to appear spontaneously. But, I make boxes occasionally and I do chamfer the visible edges. Chamfers do look nicer than round-overs. This looks great for that.
@FirstMM 11 ай бұрын
How about instead of butchering your plane blade for a round-over, you put a radius on it like a mini scrub plane and use that profile for your chamfers? Would add a ton of visual interest.

Very cool. Can it make non 45 degree angles too? If you can set the gap of the fences I would guess you could calculate the off set and get 30 degree chamfers as well. Interesting. Still back to my magnetised blades and diamond stones problem though. Oh and by the way, Girth is in your name too but you don't have to increase that. I am on that for both of us mate. LOL.

Alright, I'm exercising the "snide comment" rule.... you said around 5:50-6:00 that you don't like jigs.... but have you considered that your beloved block plane is nothing more than a jig to hold the iron in place so you can move it across the wood easier than just by holding the iron alone ??? Barring that bit there's these REALLY neat things called Chamfer Planes that came out like last month when we first learned we had opposable thumbs... sorry James, I couldn't resist. I honestly like the idea of taking a tool I already own and being able to use it for more than it was designed to do. Very nice.
@WoodByWrightHowTo 11 ай бұрын

@rhpsoregon 11 ай бұрын
I'm also not a fan of "a tool for every operation"... BUT, it is an awesome idea. What I think I like best is that you can lock the fences down for a specific size of chamfer and leave it there and make ALL your chamfers exactly the same size. All the same width. All the same angle. I normally have a problem with one end of the chamfer (normally the toe end) being deeper which poses a problem when going all the way around.
