Good sign if you can cut end grain without struggling, super sharp, easier to control than a full bench plane.
My old man was a carpenter, a real top notch engineer. I only recently became friends with a neighbour who is 85 and a boat builder since he was 15. the knowledge Iβm learning is unreal. Some of the best people I know are woodworkers. These videos are worth keeping.
hi Steve great to see your tips tricks and tool hints. hope you sue and bob are well..
Pwerbank of knowledge
Hey Steve (and any Woodworking Masterclass fans) what is the name (common and/or brand) of the tool I see Japanese carpenters using to cut half-blind dovetails? It shaped sort of like a putty knife. They seem to be wedging it along the cut lines to get a clean edge before removing the waste.
Great tips! Careful!!
Awesome as always
I only own 4 planes made later than 1664. I love the wood body planes and the wonderful feel of the molding planes. But everyone needs at least one block plane and flush plane.
Agree(of course with everyone below,) adding, like famous athletes and musicians,…you make everything look so simple…cheers…rr Normandy, France
Iβm with you, I have 4 block planes each set for different tasks. Thank you for all the tips. Take Care ππππ
Loaded 2 minutes ago! I can’t believe it notified me. Love the video. So glad you got me into using hand planes.
These are the videos I love. Lots of little things I missed growing up in catching up on.
Can you name the brand and model of the block plane you used please?
Another great video Steve thank you for the tips and your time .I would like to see how you make that miter joint on the box you planed.
I didn’t know that the direction you plane in made a difference! Thanks Mr. Hay.
I love my little block planes!
Thanks again and thanks a ton for helping me get through the initial stages of the pandemic here. Your live videos everyday kept me sane. Big hug – Anthony from New York! πΊπΈβ€οΈ
