    AWESOME job explaining the different planes, of course the camera people could have been a little quicker…..just saying.

    So beautifully put together. This is art. No wonder jesus christ was a carpenter.

    Before planes and all, the grain should be the most important! Any episode about that?



  4. Dan The Chippie on October 23, 2023 at 9:28 pm

    Fantastic, just fantastic. I’d love to see a video on how to sharpen some of those molding plane blades



  5. Murat Uzer on October 23, 2023 at 9:30 pm

    Probably the most instructive and comprehensive video there is on the web about planes. Bravo and thank you!

    Anyone know the name of the book those illustrations at 9:56 are from?

    An exceptional woodworker and teacher, you left us too soon, RIP Phil…

    He looks just like Dave on American Pickers.

    Back at school some years ago my teather told us to NEVER put a plain down on the blade ? So just shows how the treat your tools!

    Wish I had studied with you when I lived there. A bit far away now, but watching these videos really helps to learn a lot. Thanks for these.

    This is an incredible video! What a treasure!

    Question: why didn’t people want planes made completely of metal? Was there a practical reason? Was it too expensive? Is there something we should know about the finish a wooden plane leaves rather than a metal plane?

    episode 1: $10,000 worth of planes



  14. Chewning Witmer on October 23, 2023 at 9:41 pm

    Thousands of lifetime projects with Woodglut plans.



  15. Arlen Margolin on October 23, 2023 at 9:41 pm

    The days when men were men and wood was way cheaper



  16. Nino Ding on October 23, 2023 at 9:42 pm

    Thank you, Phil, for this wonderful series and your knowledge, rest in peace.



  17. mas event on October 23, 2023 at 9:47 pm

    yeah, this is what i need. thanks.



  18. Arlen Margolin on October 23, 2023 at 9:48 pm

    I can remember in the late 60s early 70s guys would pull up to the flea markets with truckloads all this stuff and sell them for a penny on the dollar and the guys that bought them up were happy is all get out I miss those early days at the flea market



  19. Daniel R on October 23, 2023 at 9:48 pm

    Solid presentation, what a lovely guy. Would have been great to spend some time with this guy and learn some more. God bless pal.



  20. Tony on October 23, 2023 at 9:49 pm

    Wonderful, you only need 3 planes. BUT we all know that once the collection starts. It doesn’t end.



  21. sabito nalang on October 23, 2023 at 9:51 pm

    very educational thanks for sharing great knowledge and ideas



  22. Ed Krause on October 23, 2023 at 9:51 pm

    Great video! It really got me interested in working with hand tools. I have
    A question. I have a house built in 1887. The trim around the doors and windows amaze me on howl they made them. My question is did they have one plane to make the trim or is it a series of planes? The width of the trim is 5 inches. Is there a place where I can get one?



  23. pinkeye00 on October 23, 2023 at 9:52 pm

    I see you are cutting the slab almost like you were on a Roman style bench … 🙂

    Kremov was Russian from Chukotka



  25. Kelly Graham on October 23, 2023 at 9:53 pm

    about 30+ years ago, I had a couple of my grandfathers old moulding planes. Over time and several moves they became lost. I wish I still had them.Interestingly enough His last name was Bailey, I think the spelling was changed when his grandparents emigrated from Ireland. grandpa was a cabinet maker by trade and he made a lot of his own tools. Largely because money was scarce and he couldn’t justify the expense for tools that he didn’t use but maybe every other job. He made the planes that I had when he was an apprentice in one of the cabinet shops in I would guess 1922 25. Thanks for the video. seeing those old planes in use was very educational.

    😭😭😭



  27. Shannan Schisler on October 23, 2023 at 9:55 pm

    I did it myself with the Woodglut plans. I think this is the best way to find out how to build it.

  35. Nick York on October 23, 2023 at 10:03 pm

    "Spiers and Mathieson were popular names in England."..well maybe, but they were actually made in Scotland, where there was a great tradition of infill planemaking.



  36. Permaculture Pk on October 23, 2023 at 10:04 pm

    An excellent introduction to the history of woodwork and planes, thank you! ❤️🇵🇰👍



  37. David Bailey on October 23, 2023 at 10:06 pm

  48. Brian Fowler on October 23, 2023 at 10:20 pm

    What would happen if you used the rip saw to cut across the grain and the crosscut saw to cut with the grain?



  49. royksk on October 23, 2023 at 10:20 pm

    I inherited a Canadian, Diston panel saw from my dad. He originally had the saw re-cut to high tpi for finer cuts.
