Block Plane Anatomy
Here I tear down four block planes and describe their features.
I show my own Stanleys, Record, and Lie Nielsen. All of which have been fettled for better performance – the subject of a future video.

    Is that mark on your fingernail permanent?

    Gee, my block plane is a piece of junk.

    Hi Mitch, I’m on the look out for one. What’s the no. of the record there? Also, which is your favourite one?

    Very Good and Clear presentation.  Well Done.

    Thank you. Planes were always a mystery to me! what a wonderful invention!

    Thanks this was informative to total neophytes like myself.

    I’ve just purchased an old 220 on ebay, which I look forward to sharpening and using! Any reason why you don’t use that one as much as the others in your video? Do the others perform better, or are they more comfortable to use ?

    when the blade is put in, is it put in with the flat of the blade facing up or down



  10. Kevin Chamberlain on January 9, 2022 at 10:57 pm

    Nicely presented! Thank you.

    Thanks for the video, has confirmed that I’ll be happy with the Record block plane

    Excellent video Mitch! I just sub’d to this channel as well as to your 2nd channel. Just purchased a Lee Valley Veritas low angle block plane last week. Cheers from Ontario, Canada. Larry B

    The explanation of the Stanley 220 was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.

    Very useful information. Block planes are seldom covered in instructional videos.



  15. Jamshed Sethna on January 9, 2022 at 11:10 pm

    Block Plane a very handy tool. Use it every day & i did pick up
    a couple of pointers. Thanks



  16. Jim Sear on January 9, 2022 at 11:11 pm

    Nice presentation. 



  17. Hard Worker on January 9, 2022 at 11:16 pm

    I have a Stanley 102 that needs the blade sharpening but before I go messing about with it do you know if I can buy a replacement blade for it.



  18. Robert Brunston on January 9, 2022 at 11:17 pm

    Good info.



  19. steven on January 9, 2022 at 11:19 pm

    I think that’s a 103 the 102 should be a low angle



  20. Mick Doherty on January 9, 2022 at 11:21 pm

    Mitch. Very well done. Never thought of tapping the blade. You’ve taught me a couple of new tricks. Thank you. I’m sure it’s on you to do list, but could you do a video on which plane you’d use and why? Cheers Mick
