    Great video! My electric hand plane is a lifesaver when hanging doors.
    I also completely agree that it is better to think of the electric hand plane and manual hand plane as completely different tools instead of one just an electric version of the other.

    Great explainer. I’d love to see a jointer jig video.

    U are right on true about sharpening the blade of the plane .. its a skill itself .

    I would like to see someone make a comparison between those router sleds and a planer sled
    Compare results
    Compare efficiency
    And even Compare whatever differences in technique is needed to gain best results

    For me, the first time I saw the router sled, I was wondering why the person did not use an electric hand planer.

    Maybe there was a good reason I am unaware of

    Thinking about this channel… I have 2 major issues. 1) You haven’t made enough videos yet. Actually you unlikely to ever get there. 2) You haven’t set up a patreon page. Please correct these issues asap so I can provide my best support for your channel.
