Making a small router plane for inlay work, the first of two tools I felt a need for during my oak leaves intarsia project. I'm no professional and I don't have anything to teach, this is just me, sharing my thoughts and my work. Join me as I'm learning fine woodworking!

I enjoy watching these clips. I really appreciate the fact that you don't go overboard with your home made tools. I get that tools need to be durable and precise, but I've seen videos of people laminating hardwoods of different colours for effects only, turning brass knobs and whatnot. You made a useful tool with limited resources within a short timeframe. Admirable and very sustainable :)

Thank you very much! Yeah, some people make incredibly beautiful tools, I enjoy watching those videos and part of me wants to do that too... but in the end I'd rather spend that time using the tools instead of making them. Good to know you share my preference there!

Hi Gillis ... again, a very clever concept and design. You are so right that the adjustment wheel adds more than just fine adjustment. You did a perfectly good job at constructing a compact version that will give you a lot of service over the years. Congrats and Cheers!!

I feel that many of us will have to start making our own tools in this current era of supply shortages.

Hi Gillis, I am also planning to make a router plane myself and wanted to do the same with a Veritas router plane iron. So you took me in speed :-). I had already got some ideas from Paul Sellers, James Wright and others and now I have been able to discover the practical effect with a Veritas iron with you. Nice work Gillis, I'm not a professional either, but we can all learn from each other.

Great! Yeah there's a lot of good router plane videos out there, so many ways to accomplish the same thing depending on what parts you have!

Excellent work, dude! Really well done! 😃 I would love to find somewhere to buy one of those blades here in Brazil or maybe from China. 😕 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

@GillisBjork 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you! Yeah, I know the frustration, really annoying when you can't find that tool you need. Some people grind them from allen keys, or you can use a normal chisel if you incline the the block on which the blade rests.

Yay, ideal timing! I have some Veritas router plane irons taking up valuable space and have been wanting to build a plane around them for a while now. Your construction seems very approachable and pragmatic (in the best way). Fantastic that you provide all the measurements and offer some thoughts on what would work as a depth adjustment screw. Did you lap the sole of the plane at all? Also, I am very much looking forward to you making some obscure tool only mentioned in 18th century French tomes... couldn't think of a better person to do that! All the best Julius

@GillisBjork 2 жыл бұрын

Awesome, good luck with your build! I'm glad you found it pragmatic, that's a very good property of a tool I think! I lapped the sole super quickly, but the plywood is really flat so it didn't need much. And thanks, I hope you'll enjoy the French obscurities!

Really very nice, great job Gillis. Maybe a notch on the side of the bolt where the blade rests can be useful. What do you think? Or is it not necessary?

@GillisBjork 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you! I was planning to do exactly that actually, but didn't feel it was needed; the bolt seems to grip the blade tight enough as it is. But if it starts slipping I'll add that, as some more surface area should give more friction.
