Story has a sad start , tech school getting rid of such stuff. Happy ending, don't worry about the collectors

Older Stanley/bailey pattern had keyhole lever cap. So surely the only difference is the frog and it's type of mount and adjustment (other than the cosmetic differences to the sole)

I've always wondered....thank you.

It’s always so relaxing watching your videos

I like the interest and appreciation people share for quality tools... Though, I dislike how hand planes have become such a novelty collector's item. Drives up the cost for everyday woodworkers. Who'd put them to good use... Sure wish I had all the nice ol' planes my father had. Probably sitting on someone's shelf as any artifact. I guess that's ok too Pardon, the rant. Just a reoccurring thought 🤔

Adding the second piece to minimize tear out?! Brilliant. Thank you, new subscriber today.

Thanks mate.

No music please

Now you're just bragging.

Looking forward to the next instalment, thanks for sharing

thanks for the review! I picked up one of these a while ago but haven't gotten around to using it. What grit sand paper did you use to flatten the bottom of the plane? And what grit stone are you using for sharpening the blade?

A joy 😊.

Are you kidding?

I might of missed in the review but how does it stack up size wise compared to a Veritas or Lie-Nelson? I have a Veritas DX-60 block plane but it is just a bit too large for one handed use when planing sticks for chairs. I've heard the Lie-Nelson is smaller and was thinking of getting one of those. Great view though! Glad to see more companies making tools in that mid-budget market that are actually decent.

I have a Honeywell hand planer. I heard the last time they were manufacturer was 1959. Does anyone know its value? I don’t see the Honeywell name on any of the antique hand planers …. I see Stanley and other brands …. any advice to indicate the value?

Lovely explanation.

Thanks for the belated review. I think I'd rather wait until Woodcraft has their Woodriver planes on sale. The Woodriver planes seem to be better made, require less work to set up, and include some additional features that, while not essential, makes using the planes easier.

Looks quite nice and the depth adjustment is an improvement over the classic planes. The iron looks nice and thick. And, well - a lot of hand planes need a bit of fussing for the side-to-side adjustment with a brass or even a small tack hammer. No big thing. I have Jorgensen clamps with the old wooden handles, and some new ones with the plastic handles. It's all good.

Unsubscribing

Wouldn't we all like a tool if it were sent to us for free. My theory is that if companies didn't hand out free stuff to their hucksters on KZfaq and other social media outlets, the rest of us proletarians would reap the benefit of lower prices.

Thanks! Very clear!

Thank you!

I’ll stick w/LN. 😃

They ought to be really good, they’re more expensive than Lie-Nielsen planes.

I'd love these also if they sent them to me; especially with the extra irons.

Thank you Sir 🎉

Crap, I need a shooting board to make my shooting board!

Where are the tools manufactured?

My brother, quite knowledgeable about planes, very complementary of your review. Listed the various plane iron names: Common, York, Middle, Half, for 45, 50, 55, 60 degrees respectively. Looking forward to your future posts.

Amen. Simple is best, in my opinion. It's the craftsman, not the tool.

We learnt this at woodwork class in school 50 years ago

i cant understand how the cutting blade doesnt shave down the side of the shooting board as it works the end grain

how could it be but that's impassible 😂

I'm wondering if Mineral Spirits could be used in lieu of turpentine? Seems they do the same thing - thin things. I just hate to buy another long lasting product to store if I don't have to. I'm liking the boiled linseed oil and I'd like to try adding the beeswax

I have an old 9" Ryobi BS903 that I use every once in a blue moon for trifles and I hate to say it but I never adjusted the stops. Needless to say I could never cut a straight line or follow a pattern because the blade would twist. Maybe that's why I rarely used it. After watching this video I adjusted the stops accordingly and was able to cut a very asymmetric pattern to make a replacement insert for a water rotted sill. Top notch instruction. Thank you!!!

Wow, and when do I use this?

That was elegant.

Great series. Lots of great tips. Thank you.

Thank you, Randy! This was an awesome series. Thank you for all the little pro hacks for people (like me) who do not have lots of equipment. Like the sandpaper trick, and the planer length tip.

Sometimes they loosen when sawing a clamped workpiece. Then you have to stop and retighten. Any tips on preventing them from loosening?

Thank you!

That works on paper. Not so much on the end of a rod or dowel. Thanks though it will work in some situations. Kind regards.

A shooting board and an expensive one use plane.

Got dx60 for everyday use, excellent ergonomics and build quality.

Would u happen to know the formula for the old school way of staining with tobacco & ammonia? Please. Im looking for the formula and what not to do cuz I know ammonia isn't good for wood

Thank goodness there is no riving knife on that table saw. Shows that us old timers can work safely without all the "soft" accommodations for today's makers

thats really cool. thank you

Two skinheads at a Tom Robinson Band gig, aftet they've played "Glad To Be Gay" for the third time; one says to the other "Are you sure we're at the right Tommy Robinson gig?"

Thanks for posting this. I have a large stand of hornbeam which would be great to monetise for something other than firewood.

during the last 30 years working, i used 3 differents planer: a 24 inchs POITRAS, the 12 inchs NORDIQUE and now i used the Dewalt DW735. I really enjoy the last one for many reasons: the chip ejector, the precise thickness and the good quality. I highly recommend the Dewalt DW725 with no doubt !
