This made me wonder if there is a plane out there that has a variable geometry frog.
i miss the tearout music
Birds eye is why I’m watching this lol
this is a timely recommendation for me lol. just started getting acquainted with my plane today. had a good time tearing up my wood
Informative, authoritative, fair, funny. Rare combination! Thank you.
Hi Matt. I’m a bit late to this thread, but I’m sure you said you’re a lefty but in your video on bench hardware you have the end vice fixed for right handers. So which is it?
I turn my blade over and or change the angle i sharpen much easyer with a pull plane
You are quickly becoming my favorite utuber.
This video was so helpful, thank you Matt.
So what the heck is a low angle plane for?
The grain direction was nice, but I didn’t understand how plane angle works on the grain. Anyon wante to explain in the comments for me?
I was just starting to do the finish planing on some padauk. It tore out miserably using an LN low angle jack with a 35 degree blade. I thought "Now what?" I resorted to a card scraper and after a lot of work got it to looking pretty nice. I think I’ll go and up the LN jack blade angle a bit and see how that works, but this time on a scrap piece of padauk. Thanks for the tip on going to very high angle.
Man, tell your buddy to shut the jointer off while you’re filming.
You just saved my new hobby.

Still no personal BIO available? You go to the block list.
If having a higher angle is better, why not use a higher angle all the time?
Thank you for these amazing videos (must admit, watching your channel on repeat). Following your recommendation, i went and bought myself my first quality plane: A Veritas low angle jack plane.
I do have one newbie question: If the 25 degree blade is so bad tear-out wise, what is it best used for?
Looking forward to your answer
I have the same plane with the 55 degree frog as well, it is awesome, works amazing.. just spend the money and get one.. you won’t regret it , and will have forever 👍😊
