    Great video, very helpful tips on how to use. Thank you.

    I dont agree on the first tip, especially when jointing or hollowing or bowing out wood with a smoothing plane. There are different techniques in order to flatten the side of a board

    Excellent tips!!

    Great explanation Jay you’re one of my favorite youtuber’s!



  10. Chris Church on January 26, 2022 at 9:37 pm

    Don’t know how but I just noticed your drawer pulls. Cool, but go Pens!



  11. Bluegill20 on January 26, 2022 at 9:39 pm

    How do you know when your wood piece is actually flat and level? Do you draw a line and just plane down to it?



  12. Tarryn van der Linde on January 26, 2022 at 9:40 pm

    Thank you!!



  13. R Nensia on January 26, 2022 at 9:41 pm

    I hate the Redwings as I am and have been an AVS fan my whole life, BUT from one hockey guy to another I love your drawer handles.!! I am curious how you made so many of them!?
    Ps, I would love too see an old Stanley cup final with Detroit and CO for old times sake!

  20. Sovereign Soul Tribe on January 26, 2022 at 9:54 pm

  21. Niklas Bjerkenås on January 26, 2022 at 9:54 pm

  22. soulmusic on January 26, 2022 at 9:55 pm

    How can I round off a edge using a hand wood planer?🙂



  23. steven lang on January 26, 2022 at 9:56 pm

    Jay really good 6 tip especially no. 6.
    I did my practice on 2×4 the same way when I got my first play great suggestion. Also tip 7 take a 2×2 and make a dimensional square stick all 4 sides the same dimension to scribe line till you get it learned! Tip 8 have a bright light source to check squareness and flatness.
    Good job Jay!

    #5 is a game changer



  31. yobryan88 on January 26, 2022 at 10:06 pm

    Do you think he knows who are the Red Wings? 🤔🤔🤔



  32. Shawn Mendrek on January 26, 2022 at 10:07 pm

    I like your POW sticker. What is the biggest cons and pros on a hand planer vs electric besides a batter/cord? Thanks a lot.



  33. Bonnie Brown on January 26, 2022 at 10:08 pm

    Thank you Jay! You succinctly, yet thoroughly, informed me how to begin using this new hand planer!!



  34. Andre on January 26, 2022 at 10:09 pm

  36. Chris Statham on January 26, 2022 at 10:11 pm

    Jay Bates!! You the man. I needed the down hill direction explanation. Never understood it until watching your video. Awesome



  37. VinceCFMWisconsin on January 26, 2022 at 10:11 pm

    my first time using a bench plane, awesome video, Thanks for the tips! do you have a video on your carpenters vise? i’d like to install one on my work bench.



  38. Early Riser on January 26, 2022 at 10:15 pm

    Nice! I’m looking to get wood shavings for BBQ fire tinder. Never really done wood working, so these tips are big help. Thanks for sharing this!



  39. Danny Alvarez on January 26, 2022 at 10:15 pm

    Good video thanks.



  40. Owl Acoustics on January 26, 2022 at 10:15 pm

    The last #5 is SO important and so true.



  41. Kris Simmons on January 26, 2022 at 10:17 pm

    great video thanks Jay



  42. James Pyle on January 26, 2022 at 10:17 pm

    Helpful, never used one before and realizing how much it helps uilding things (since most wood is not square). Will use this going forward (just wish I did it before my project, but it’s already finished, haha but I have shelves to add which this will come in handy.



  43. Russ Dixon on January 26, 2022 at 10:17 pm

    such a great teacher



  44. Kj Bense on January 26, 2022 at 10:19 pm

    Thank you for the skewed tip !!! It’s not as simple as it looks – somethings just take experience 🙂

  46. Hathorspirit on January 26, 2022 at 10:22 pm

    at tip my dad gave me, when putting down your plane you should raise the blade, to lay the plane on its side to help protect the blade



  47. J. Enriquez on January 26, 2022 at 10:23 pm

    Can you make a video demonstrating how to properly adjust the blade to the hand planer?



  48. David Beleski on January 26, 2022 at 10:23 pm

    You forgot one big tip/must do which would have saved my knuckles from a wrap with a rule, from the tradesmen as an apprentice That is never put the plan down on its face (unless the blade has been retracted), it will damage the blade. A plane should always be placed on its side.



  49. Henry Téars on January 26, 2022 at 10:24 pm

    Its one of the best tips or advice I’ve heard, it’s clear and well demonstrated, and I have one question or need advice on planing a long wood, I can’t just do it right, it always has bumps and hills on the middle could you please help me out.



  50. J C on January 26, 2022 at 10:25 pm

    Excellent tips. Thanks very much.
