  • @woodFish-one
    @woodFish-one 3 дні тому

    Good video! I‘d like to suggest an improvement though: after you marked your thickness all around, put on a chamfer around your board along all 4 edges, ending exactly at your marked line. When you start planing you will see the chamfer disappearing. As long as it is disappearing evenly, you‘re on the right track. If not, you can easily react and remove more material from the area, where the chamfer stays wider. This eliminates the „frequent look around all corners“, and „you stay on top“

    • @AussieWoodshed
      @AussieWoodshed День тому

      Thanks for this suggestion, i do appreciate it. I have tried this process before and for me i found it slightly less accurate then planing directly to the knife line. It may have all been in my head, so i will try your process once again next time.

    I like your video but I have my own time tested opinions on buying vintage tools. 1. Don't aim to buy a massive collection of planes. Buy only the ones you need. 2. Don't buy the first one that comes along, be patient and buy the one you want - at the right price. 3. Don't buy doubles of planes, buy only the spares you are likely to need - irons, chip breakers, totes and handles, frogs and screws. They are very cheap to buy and can make a non-user usable again. 4. Don't think that only vintage are good. I have bought very cheap new planes that are exceptional - better than vintage planes and I will be proving that in an upcoming video. 5. Don't bother spending money to try and upgrade what is already good. If it worked in the past, it will still work now - and probably better. The extra money will not give an equal amount of gain in use. 6. I used wooden planes in the past and I have access to them now but I totally avoid them. They have too many issues to be bothered with. (I know this will not go down well with many enthusiasts but I am about getting the work done, not faffing about). 7. If you see another plane in better condition than what you have at a good price, buy it and immediately sell the one you replaced. Don't clutter yourself with what you don't need.

    Have one of these saws, my boyfriend is restoring it, is there anyway of getting the rust off the blade without destroying the writing on the blade? Tia ❤️

    • @AussieWoodshed
      @AussieWoodshed 7 днів тому

      The best way to get the rust off and maintain the writing (which is generally acid etched into the metal with older hand saws) is to soak it in a product called Evaporust (which isn't cheap). Using basic vinegar is a cheaper option but there is a small chance it may damage the etching if left in the vinegar too long. The best way to judge how long with vinegar is to check it regularly. I have a few other videos that might be useful listed below: + How I Clean Metal Parts for Restorations - ua-cam.com/video/H9yfUF3SEbo/v-deo.html + Restore Old Hand Planes with Vinegar - ua-cam.com/video/Siruu9bAowo/v-deo.html - The process for soaking a saw blade using vinegar is identical to the process i use on this hand plane. + Evapo-Rust Review - ua-cam.com/video/Q-D0wsigeeM/v-deo.html - If using Evaporust this review shows the process for how i use it.

For me it causes excess jamming of the shaving in the mouth of nearly every vintage hand plane i have and prevents adjustment in depth of cut. 1/32 or 1/64 as some suggest will only work for an extremely fine set smoother. I don't just follow what others say i settled on 2 - 3 mm with lots of trial and error and it works far better for me, and I've heard from plenty of my viewers who prefer 2-3mm after trying it. There is no right or wrong only what works, the chip breaker only needs to be close enough to curl the shaving nothing more. So i will stick with my 2 - 3 mm and you can use 1/32 or an inch.

      Talking of knee injuries, I am also nursing knee problems for the past few months after laying lots (I mean LOTS) of laminate flooring in my carpentry work. The problems started about 25 years ago and is a hazard that carpenters face throughout their working lives. I've also paralysed my left arm and shoulder for a year, 30 years ago. I crushed 4 discs in the base of my spine too. Young carpenters beware, you will wreck your joints...!

      @@AussieWoodshed I used those Stanley/Record routers in my early days but I've never owned one. I liked them in use but to be honest I prefer the modern type I am using now. I would buy a vintage router plane but it would have to be at a very reasonable price and not inflated just because of its age - maximum £50 for a good working example with all bits and bobs included seems reasonable to me, just for the sake of having one. Otherwise, I'd rather stick with my modern version, which is excellent and has no slop.

    I've had the delux kit for some time and the combination of the side and parallel clamps covers almost all my requirements, especially with the addition of a second parallel roller to replaced the cambered one which i never use. What doesn't fit (router plane, some spokeshave blades, etc.) I do by hand. The big issue I do have with the veritas system is that the secondary bevel is NEVER parallel to the primary. It drives me mad. I can sharpen free hand, but i like the repeatability and uniformity from using a jig, and for whatever reason, this veritas system just does not have the required precicision. No matter what I do it always grinds one side of the secondary bevel more that the other. Frustrating!

    I love the Veritas sharpening jig for plane irons and some chisels (firmers especially). But lately I've been free hand sharpening must small bench chisels. The jigs are too much faffing and their narrowness means you're only removing a small amount of metal which comes off fast. As they are narrow, they're also easy to hold and unlikely to roll about while sharpening.
