Shared this video with my Eastern Ontario Woodworkers group of 1400 strong. Well done, Thank you

Thank you so much for this video, my Dad was a Carpenter and I have his Stanley Jack and Block Planes. Dad would be118 years old today..so I am trying to put a date on his Jack Plane first, then his 2 Block Planes which are different from each other. I also have his Brace and Bitt..hopping to restore all of them.

simple, elegant, beautiful.

Thank you! Verybwell explained.

Once again, thank you for the tuition.

Thanks for the explanation, which makes sense.

Very good video. I’m sure that I will use it when I build my square using only hand tools.

Wonderful video Karl. Thank you. 🙂

Looks nice. Why are you using epoxy for the blade instead of normal glue (as for the dowels)?

This saved me! I struggled getting my joints square with my #62 and a straight blade. The resulting surface would always lean one way. I got a new #5 yesterday and cambered the blade because I recalled your explanation in this video. So much easier to square! I think what works for me now is #62 for initial jointing, #5 to make corrections to square, then #62 again for final light passes.

Very good video. I’m a new subscriber and have spent the evening watching several of your videos and have learned a lot. I too am a hand tool only woodworker but enjoy your presentation. Also have you done a video on your shooting plane? It’s very intriguing. Thank you for sharing.

Very good demonstration video. Also your instructional aided showing the sole and blade along with the inset video was very helpful. So often many UA-camrs just pass their hand over the blade and expects the viewer to understand what they are feeling. I look forward to watching more hand tool videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Hello Carl, Just found your channel and watched the first episode of the miter box. I very much enjoyed your video and your instruction style is very encouraging. However, I am a hand tool woodworker so I don’t use anything electric (I think you would find this funny if you knew that I am a retired electrical engineer) but I still appreciated your approach to the project and will continue to watch. Would you consider including how each step which uses power tools could also be accomplished using hand tools? Just a friendly suggestion from a new subscriber. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Carl, I just came across your channel, and I'm very interested in the information you are providing. I also use hand tools quite a bit, mainly due to the small size of my shop with very little floor space. As I watch you create this wooden tool with such great precision, I'm wondering if the early woodworkers, using wooden planes and other self-made tools, tried for such precision. I think sometimes good is good enough. Granted, a tri-square can be checked for a perfect 90 degree angle against itself using a straight edge, so why does the handle (or reference portion) need to have such precision. I'm thinking the pioneers in woodworking would say: it checks square so go with it. Thanks for posting, I'm enjoying the tutorials.

Tri-square?! Isn't it try-square?

Thank you so much for a well thought out, concise and effective lesson. For such a simple device, the nuances are plentiful. Also, may I ask about your end vise? I am going to start on a new bench. I like the traditional end vise more than a wagon vise as it seems to have more applications. Which hardware are you using? I am waiting on Lie Nielsen to reintroduce theirs (they say they are close), and I am unaware of any other viable alternatives. Once again, you've given me plenty to work on in my plane use, thank you.

Amazingly helpful and informative video. Thank you!

One of the best videos on plane use I have watched. Your mild mannered personality and clear voice are appreciated. I look forward to watching more and learning. Thank you.

Thanx for the video, yes type 10 thru 12 probably the best

Great video! I just have one comment - i wouldn't call that a flow chart, but rather a decision tree 🙂

I bought my Stanley no.7 for 35aud ($23.50usd ) from a local market and it was in almost mint condition just need sharping . My Stanley no.4 was from the same guy for $5aud ($3.25usd ) only need sharpening and just a little bit of rust

When I first started years ago I made a huge mistake and bought a Stanley handyman #4. Do not do this lol

Excellent video with really good information. The shots of the iron protruding from the mouth were nice and clear.

Excellent video, very informative and well organized. Thanks !

Thanks, Carl, for another great teaching session. I always enjoy your videos. BTW, awesome camera work and editing. It made the lesson easy to understand and visualize. Can't wait for the next video.😊

You have quickly became my favorite woodworker. The chair horse build was amazing. Seeing your shop and life with it. I’m very interested in any sit down talking videos or articles about the woodworkers you followed and learned from. In-person fellowship or from published media authored by them. The John Nyquist chair horse made me think your knowledge is part of many others absorbed and then made to your own style. That interests me the most. Your experience with greater woodworking world. Thank you for creating a UA-cam channel to share your knowledge.

Best explanation of how to setup and use a plane that I've seen. Showing the blade protrusion so clearly and wheel adjustment at the same time was especially helpful.

Back dragging doesnt dull blades singnificantly enough to matter. For finely set plane, sure the shaving might gets stuck, but for normal material removal back dragging is completely fine.

Hi Carl, Greetings from the UK, do you have any information on where Record planes fit into the story? Most of my planes are Record Bailey pattern, don’t know how old they are, only that they are copies of Stanley models. Thanks for the video, regards, Steve

Thank you Carl most informative

A very good video. I think the frog is the critical component of these planes. The more solid (no excavations) the blade mating surface, the better the quality in my opinion. Thanks for making this video and supplying the flow chart. Much appreciated.

How useful is the flowchart for UK Stanley planes? I have seen a few attempts at linking the two. Any thoughts - could make an interesting video. Thanks for the effort you have put into this video.

Very good information, and nicely articulated.

Thank you for these very appreciated and precise information. Congratulations

Wow, that was awesome, although it would have been great to find it a week ago - as I’ve just purchased my first Stanley Bench Plane (5½). I now need to check whether it is a keeper! But the information here, along with the detailed knowledge Carl has included, is going to make identification so much easier, thank you very much sir… 👏🏻

Thank you for a very informative presentation.

What a WONDERFUL PROFESSOR! I wish that this was the first video I ever saw when starting my woodworking hobby. You mentioned sooo many of the most important layout & marking pointers in video 1. Also mortise techniques so helpful for someone to shoot for so they don’t just have a big hole instead of a proper mortise. Not only what to shoot for, but also how to check and confirm that you are doing it correctly while pursuing the goal. Thank you so much for this particular video because it is also helpful for me being able to make a Mortise/ measuring gauge that is comfortable to use (instead of the harbor, freight knock-off where everything moves while trying to lock it down) Again, thank you so much. Well done!

Outstanding video

I have watched several videos, including your earlier one, about sharpening plane blades. Something I don't understand about the camber is whether this is destroyed when you regrind the blade, and the front is then straight across. Or does the camber survive through the grinding process?

Thanks

Really great vid! Recently I was in sn antique shop and found a vintage #4 hand plane for only $12 in very good gondition. It has the word Eclipse stamped on top of the iron, Made in USA on the bed, stamled C72 mark as well with rosewood tote and knob. Some peole have said my plane was made durung the Great Depression by Stanley.

Awesome. I really like your set up and video as a whole. Thanks man

Thanks Carl. Subscribed for more.

So glad you are still teaching. I liked the stop-on-the-sled/stop-on-the-fence technique.

Great series! Thank you for sharing your work!

Thank you for the instruction. I enjoy your teaching style. I decided to build this from wood I had available. It turns out that most of it will be made from pecan. It will be heavy and given I have a hand tool shop (other than a bandsaw) it will be an "interesting time". Once again, thank you.

Nice work Carl!

Thank You very much Sir Take Care over there
