He's a true craftsman, wonder if he was a machinist originally bc he's very precise about everything and most machinist are. My father was

Amazing work, Mike you sound like a book of wisdom

No better advice has ever been spoken. Thanks mike. I have a new tool to make

Mike, That is a fantastic job simple and to the point and very well made. Taking one's time at a project shows the quality of work of the builder. Have a blessed day my friend.

I'm coming back in my next life as your apprentice. It's amazing to watch you work. Actually it's really relaxing -- it is clear in the video of the fine differing amounts of pressure you apply to the various pieces to get them to turn out as you want. Mad skillz, dude. I especially liked watching you create the handles, and watching the effects of the wire pressing against the turning handles, leaving the browned grip lines. Beautiful work.

Tip for using the grinder in passes like at the beginning of the video. Use strong telescoping magnet grabbers to guide the blade safely and smoothly through.

Great video.. Could watch you work all day.. Thankyou.

I'm making one myself so this was helpful thank you.

very good demonstration. thank you

Very nice work and a great presentation. You forgot to mention that one also needs to have a vice and hopefully, a lathe😂

This was great! Learned a lot, too. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks, Mike. Very useful video.

Beautiful Workmanship Sir!

Really enjoyed your videos very instructive. I'm going to try making one. Thank you

Mike - I love your videos. Very good quality and your voice is very relaxing. You should try and do some more videos for your fans! I just bought a Jacobs rubberflex chuck based on your video from 9 years ago!

Awesome video!

Thank you for sharing! I'm considering making a draw knife soon, but I have no forge, yet.

Excellent 👌 thanks

Инструмент сделанный с душой 👍

I LIKE YOUR JOB, 👍😃NICE JOB SR.

out standing... I was thinking one could also use the JB weld... thank you very much for the idea..

Nice one

nice

WOW Mate, Bloody marvellous to watch. I'd love to buy this one mate.How much?

Id like to see one made with folding handles.

what per cent silver did you use ? i see there are several grades. nice work, thanks !

Bonjour de Montpellier. Je viens d'acheter une vielle plane comme la votre aussi piquée. J'ai essayé de l'affuter pendant une heure. et pas beaucoup de résultats. Incroyable la dureté ? j'étais orfèvre dans les années 70. Pourtant je connais bien les métaux et aussi les trempes des métaux. Je pense que ma plane a au moins 60 HRC de dureté. J'ai essayé avec plusieurs pierres " synthétiques d'affuter la lame. et je n'ai pas grand chose comme résultat. Ce sont mes pierres qui s'usent. Je serrais heureux de connaitre exactement la composition de l'acier et aussi la dureté réelle ? Merci pour votre vidéo. Mais en final pour votre plane, normalement elle devrait couper plus. Toute ma vie j'ai fabriqué mes propres outils et réalisé les trempes. à l'eau ou à l'huile. Pas de problème, ma plane est trempée. Patrick Dupré

When you said it was a plane blade could you please explain what kind of plane and if possible where could I order such blade .

You say the heat wont effect the hardness of the HSS but isnt HSS also quenched and tempered like any other steel and this would potentially temper it even more so it becomes softer?

If you speed the video up, he sounds like a congested Ben Shapiro

At around 3 minutes on dude sounds like he might die if he doesn't ingest some sort of liquid.. My Mans was Parched... try hydrating before filming a video. Once I started hearing you swallow and wetting your mouth I couldn't quit hearing it, quite distracting.. just some constructive criticism, take it for what it's worth..
