I find setting up this particular Stanley plane to be frustrating because the two blades are separate. You need to get them positioned laterally and to depth and they can even twist a little. This is probably what is lurking behind Bill's comment that one needs to tweak these joints. Meanwhile, there are just two little knurly knobs and they seem to let go when you least want them to. I've had in the back of my mind simply making a new blade that is all one piece. That may not work, though, because quite a long slot would be needed and I wonder if it might not stay planar during heat treating. I rarely have needed a T&G, so have just ignored the whole thing so far. 🙂 If there is a trick to setting this plane without frustration, I'd love to hear it.

I’m really enjoying this videos series! Bill’s comment on putting the bead on the tongue side was truly what we call “educating our intuition” where we intuitively know something, and are then given the theory for that intuition.

Miss that school

The 1/2" version is actually a #49

I feel kinda smart now, I came up with that idea of the board with two dowels to span across two dogholes independently from this. Obviously not saying I know as much as you, but it's good to know my brain is kind of in the right place.

Don, The ONE thing you're forgetting is a FACE MASK! • The sawdust will really impact your lungs. I know, it happened to me

Nice job.

Could you also just buy the quark to skip the first steps? Thanks for the video!

I took the class too and enjoyed it. Looking forward to viewing your dovetail series

That might be the most perfect way to cut dovetails I have EVER SEEN!! It's poetry in motion, and NO WASTED MOTION! NO MEASURING! IT'S WONDERFUL!!

When u remove pin waste and rotate chisel, do u try to shoulder the edge of the chisel against the pin to follow the angle better

Folks may want to know that the extension table will not fold down all the way if you have the Industrial base. Because of that, you can not move your fence across the table thus limiting the use of the saw without raising the outfeed table. The tubing protrudes up far enough to interfere with the fence movement unless it is fully 90-degrees with the saw top.

Great video. I am surprised that the width of the solid portion of the outfeed is so narrow. Have you had many occasions when your cut falls between the rails? Not an issue for large sheets but I frequently am pushing a narrow cut off the table with a push stick that would appear to go between the rails. It looks like you could fill the void with a dimensional piece of wood and screw it to the tubular extensions that run parallel to the table. That alone tends to make me opt for building my own.

This is Woodworking!! Thanking you from TUSCANY Italy

Watching people waving their hands that close to a jointed blade is exactly how people lose their fingers. 2:43. Fingers easily can slip right underneath that guard. Use the jointer with push blocks, remove the work piece and walk away. Don't do video demonstrations on top of the machine while it's running, even when it's powering down the blade is still running. Lots of Woodworkers with no fingers have made the same mistake, they shut the machine off, the blade is still running and they go to grab the end on the board closest to the cutter and stick their fingers right in the cutter blade knowing that they've shut the machine off.

Red oak? Local variety?

I have a question, for the dove tail & the dove tail grooves, do they have to be in specific proportion?

Great idea! I'm going to have to use that.

Thank you very much for this informative, demonstration video.

23:15 Thank you Sir.🎉

Been trying to figure this out. You said late in the video that I might be over rolling my burr. So far I've succeeded in creating a Heppa-Dust scraper. It's frustrating as all get-go but I'm not giving up yet. So far yours has been the most informative. Thank you. Liked and subscribed.

I helped my Grandpa make a truck load of that for rebuilding an old spilt rail fence. It was hard and took a while but it's still standing after all these years. You could have popped it if you double wedged it in the center.

I’ll be going back through these. Thanks.

Thank you.

Wonderful shop and location! I love that wood-storage outside.

Such an enjoyable series of videos! I love Will's teaching style and he seems so humble.

probably wouldn't use the marking gauge, leaves an impression at the end.

6:40 the early Stanley 71 was designed almost identical to the later 71 1/2 with the closed throat. It's interesting that they took the 71 and modified it but then had the 71 1/2 look like the early 71. Why not call the open throated version the 71 1/2 instead? Anyhow

well done

$1000 dovetail jig....? WTF

Thanks

What is the principle behind it. How does it work by just hitting the head?

Thank you for not playing sick music while you’re instructing like 99% of all utube clowns do.

Not primitive enough for me.

Easy, hold my beer....

Отлично! Удовольствие от работы. Вместо баллистических ракет которые ваше правительство присылает в Россию, лучше бы присылали такие рубанки. Привет из Москвы.

Truly, those are some stunning pieces. I would love to have the skills you possess. Currently, I have absolutely NO woodworking experience or knowledge. In your opinion, what would be the best course of action to take in order to begin the journey of becoming a reasonably decent woodworker? Thanks!

Great tips there! Thank you!

I expected to learn about work benches but you gave no details about them, only general information. Frustrating! You should retitle your video.

Yep, do a video on that beeswax and turps and linseed oil!

As my eyes get worse my bench needs to be higher. 😂

Это гинеально и просто, в России такое количество продают за 3 долора, но там нет в составе скипидара, исппользуют масло минеральное и пчелиный воск

Cool

Where do I buy a tongue and groove plane

Very good video. I would love to see detailed video instruction on how to make moulding planes. For example, how do you make a side bead moulding plane?

Thanks for the lesson, guys! 😊 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Nicely done. I’ll have to get my L-N plane later and “play” with it.

I always enjoy watching your videos!

How do I square five 12ft long boards to be exactly the same width for jointing them?

Really nice work, Bill. You make it look simple. Thanks for sharing.
