As always fantastic job. Thanks
Nice job and gorgeous music !!
great job, like how you showed your process and mistakes…those are the same type we all make and it’s really helpful to see how you handle them (pun intended)!
I just bought an old #8 Stanley with a broken tote. This video showed me how to make a new one. I never knew Lee Valley provided free schematics. Thanks!
I feel like almost daily I find more reasons to get a band saw….. haha
Couldn’t find it on their website. Anybody else have that problem too?
I did not know about the plane tote templates- thank you for highlighting them. And thanks to Lee Valley for making them available. I’ll get on to restoring both my #4 and #5 planes, as both totes are broken. Many thanks!!
Hi Caleb!! So nice to meet you!! Wowzer!!! I LOVED How you took the time to explain your process!! Great job!! I just found you thru a comment you made over on my friends channel:
Anne of All Trades
From one Woodworker/Maker to you and your channel…wow, I just had to subscribe to it. You have some awesome videos and I can see how I will REALLY LOVE Being apart of the action here!! I subscribed, commented and am glad to be here. From MY Sawdust Channel, to yours, I hope you have the BEST DAY EVER!!! Oh, and ps…if you are interested, I would like to invite you to be apart of my Woodworking Challenge: THE SAWDUST AWARENESS CHALLENGE. Lots of prizes to be won and I would love to have you be apart of the fun. I will have an UPDATE Video go up in the next couple of weeks, but for now you can see the original Announcement on my channel on the March 17th Video with the same name as the challenge. Thank you for ALL You do to share your work with the world. I even clicked on the small bell so I never will miss a thing. I do not comment as often as I should, I am a disabled woodworker, paralyzed in my left leg..Some days I just watch videos without commenting due to the pain…but all in all I LOVE your channel and will watch when I CAN And support you whenever the chance arises!!

Did you miss the part on the template that shows you how to orient the grain properly? Worth a mention in the video. It’s important for strength.
Nice job.
Nice project so far. Iām looking forward to the next video.
Quick tip-you should put some wood planks on the inside of your vise. I have the same vise, and it holds much better if itās compressed in between two pieces of wood; I used 1/2 in birch plywood scraps.
Itās hard not to rush a project you are really excited about! Nice job.
nice man!
This was helpful. I bought a #4 plane for $5 and it’s missing just the tote and knob. Time to clean it up and put that scrap wood to use.
It looks nice. Do you make any videos without the background āmusicā? Arrrggg
So addicting watching the wood go through the band saw!
Great work, I need to do something to salvage my Bedrock #5 handle, she split along the grain, but it is the original rosewood so I don’t really want to build a new one.
Nice process, Caleb! Glad you were able to fix that blowout with some epoxy.
