    Great information. Yes on tuning a plane.



  3. Jeremy McClanahan on March 21, 2022 at 5:34 pm

    Nice info…sub earned



  4. Henry Sara on March 21, 2022 at 5:37 pm

    Great video thank you, looking forward to see in class.



  5. Eduardo Chavez on March 21, 2022 at 5:37 pm

    Excellent video! I learned a lot from it. Thank you!



  6. Phillip McCutcheon on March 21, 2022 at 5:40 pm

    Was the “Tuning a smoothing plane” already made? I can’t seem to find it.



  7. Dan Montie on March 21, 2022 at 5:40 pm

    Let me join the chorus for a video for tuning up a plane!



  8. Roy BAILEY on March 21, 2022 at 5:41 pm

    I’ve never seen a Rabbit 🐇 use a plane 🤣🤣🤣



  9. Doc Zoff on March 21, 2022 at 5:41 pm

    I think I know how to get a smoothing plane pretty finely tuned, which probably just means I don’t know much and I’m ignorant of the mistakes I’m making. I’d really value and appreciate a detailed tuning smoothing planes video please.



  10. Alan Hickerson on March 21, 2022 at 5:41 pm

    Great video. A video on tuning up antique old planes would be great!



  11. Psi Clops on March 21, 2022 at 5:43 pm

    If you’re listening, my first plane I bought was a vintage Craftsman No. 4 that I set up for scrubbing and then I bought a Taylor No. 5 for $99, which I tuned up for smoothing. Did I do that backwards? The Taylor is nice and I didn’t want to spend $99 for a scrub when my Craftsman cost me $30.

    Also, should I add a no. 7 to my lineup? I’m holding off on that unless I spot a real gem for a low price on craigslist.



  12. luis colmenares on March 21, 2022 at 5:45 pm

    As a guitar making hobbyist, i am very fond of Lie Nielsen block planes 😀



  13. Steven Bond on March 21, 2022 at 5:46 pm

    Where is your article that you wrote about planers to be found



  14. Colin Green on March 21, 2022 at 5:46 pm

    A video on tuning would be great! I’ve just purchased some older planes and seem to not be able to tune the blade adjustment very well



  15. Sean Harry on March 21, 2022 at 5:49 pm

    Make the tuning up video



  16. Matthew Romagnoli on March 21, 2022 at 5:50 pm

    ‘Which ones you may never need’ —- *close up of scrub plane* hahaha actually laughed



  17. William Mueller on March 21, 2022 at 5:50 pm

    Yes on tuning a smoothing plane video



  18. Lenny Brooks on March 21, 2022 at 5:51 pm

    yes on tuning up the plane!



  19. Woodworker | Shokunin on March 21, 2022 at 5:53 pm

    Great video!



  20. Gary Dargan on March 21, 2022 at 5:54 pm

    Definitely need advice on tuning and set up. I’ve gone down the route of buying old planes. Couldn’t find one in reasonable condition so I bought two and will use one for parts.



  21. luthiermatt on March 21, 2022 at 5:54 pm

    Excellent video!



  22. Richard Malone on March 21, 2022 at 5:55 pm

    Video on tuning a plane would be nice.



  23. Jim Lee on March 21, 2022 at 5:56 pm

    Just found u! Love your no frills attitude. Why spend a boat load when u don’t have to. Great production too!



  24. Law V. on March 21, 2022 at 5:58 pm

    Who and why would anyone give this a thumbs down?!??🤔🎩 here goes a thumbs up👍🏻👍🏻💪🏻



  25. Christian Käsermann on March 21, 2022 at 5:58 pm

    That’s up till now the best video on handplanes for woodworking I saw till noww… and I watched quite a few. Keep up the good work … maybe with a video on tuning smoothing planes 😉



  26. Jerry Stark on March 21, 2022 at 5:59 pm

    A video on tuning up a vintage Bailey #4 or #5 would be great.



  27. Chris Perkins on March 21, 2022 at 5:59 pm

    Very well filmed and informative video, Thank You.



  28. Michael Bradigan on March 21, 2022 at 6:02 pm

    Adding a vote for the highly-tuning-up of a hand plane video. This would be valuable indeed. Thank you!



  29. William Andrade on March 21, 2022 at 6:02 pm

    Excelent! I’m going to buy my first handplane and this vídeo was very useful!



  30. dalanbronnenberg on March 21, 2022 at 6:03 pm

    I would love a rehab video



  31. Mineola Home on March 21, 2022 at 6:06 pm

    Does anyone know where this school is located??? Thanks.



  32. James Crisafulli on March 21, 2022 at 6:11 pm

    I would very much like to see a video on tuning up a smoothing plane. I am fairly new to hand tools although I have used power tools forever. I have the bug now for hand work!



  33. David Richter on March 21, 2022 at 6:13 pm

    Please do a video about tuning handplanes. My specific issue is one you mention, closing the gap on the chipbreaker. thanks.



  34. Thomas Murphy on March 21, 2022 at 6:14 pm

    I enjoyed your comparison and details. Def would enjoy seeing you take on tuning a smoothing plane.



  35. Space_Trucker on March 21, 2022 at 6:14 pm

    I would LOVE if you made a video about plane tuning!



  36. Jim Cooney on March 21, 2022 at 6:15 pm

    good video thanks for sharing



  37. nicksshitbro on March 21, 2022 at 6:16 pm

    My legs went weak when you flashed the flea market shot of all the woodworking tools. I wish I could find a stall like that! They’d earn all my money very easily.



  38. SculptyWorks on March 21, 2022 at 6:19 pm

    Excellent video! 👍❤
    Just wanted to say, on Bedrock planes, the tiny bit of ‘improvement’ they have doesn’t justify their high prices! A craftsman does not need one of those planes to get excellent results!



  39. Raj Dann on March 21, 2022 at 6:19 pm

    Yep do a tunning up video



  40. Jack Cantrell on March 21, 2022 at 6:20 pm

    I would like to see that video of refurbishing a hand plane



  41. TheTranq on March 21, 2022 at 6:20 pm

    Great video



  42. TheSkyIsCrying on March 21, 2022 at 6:21 pm

    Agree, please tell us about tuning smoothing planes!



  43. robin alexander on March 21, 2022 at 6:21 pm

    Most enjoyable to watch. Cheers from Tasmania



  44. RHC on March 21, 2022 at 6:25 pm

    Yes, definitely make a plane tuning video please!



  45. Calvin Hoyt on March 21, 2022 at 6:26 pm

    I have a few old style planes but I just can’t get them adjusted correctly. A lesson in refurbishing and fine adjustment would be greatly appreciated.



  46. Bill Stanley on March 21, 2022 at 6:27 pm

    Yes, please tell us about tuning smoothing planes



  47. Bill K. on March 21, 2022 at 6:27 pm
