In this video I look at flattening the skate on a plough plane. I need to stress this strongly not all plough planes need the slate filing this is not something you need to do regularly most ploughs will work well with a little bit of even wear. This plane the skate was curved and was high just behind the mouth so I filed and levelled it. The plane in the video was made by John Briscoe in Birmi...

In this video I look at plough planes these are some of them from my collection I discuss the planes their use, makers and faults. Take a look at plough irons before using the planes to plough some grooves. The planes in this video are a Greenslade Bristol 1847-1941 this has “Exhibition Medal London Dublin Paris Melbourne” stamp Melbourne exhibition date 1880/81 so this plane was made after the...

Here is the full length video from yesterdays short. This is what day to day work looks like for me as a conservation carpenter and joiner. Here I’m moulding some thin replacement cover trims for an oak paneling job. The plane I’m using is by WM Moss from 28 Dudley Street Birmingham between 1775 and 1797 they continued plane making at a different Birmingham address until 1843. This plane bares ...

In this video I go through my sash moulding planes in close up detail (apologies for the free hand filming!). I also try to answer the question I was asked in the previous video about the differences between English and Scottish sash planes. There’s also a brief look at some of my other planes. #traditionaljoinery #handplane #handtools #woodworking #antiquetools #sashwindow #sashwindows #mouldi...

A look at sash window specific hand tools. Ever wondered about a sash mortice chisel or a sash fillister? This is a Quick Look at some of the sash specific tools in my collection, with the exception of the plough plane the other tools only purpose is making sash windows. I have a sash window restoration course coming in May 2025 take a look at my website www.whitacrebespokecarpentry.co.uk for m...

In this video I go through the cleaning and start sharpening a 28inch Drabble and Sanderson 3 point rip saw. The objective of this project is to return this saw to a useable condition. The person that gave me this saw kept it in an open fronted shed with some reclaimed building materials so it’s very very rusty. This is part one and I start the sharpening process. More details on sharpening and...

A look at some moulding planes from my collection mostly from Birmingham makers that have been through several owners and now reside together with me 15miles or so from centre of Birmingham where they were made. Also a discussion on what’s new for 2025, courses, myth busting, work etc. More info on courses and teaching email whitacrebespoke@gmail.com. #traditionaljoinery #mouldingplanes #handto...

I’m making a small carcass to sit inside a roof canopy. Due to the depth I need I cannot use regularised carcass timber without a lot of waste so I’m using rough sawn red deal. The boards are heavily cupped and it’s not worth scribing the shoulders to the cup as I would for green oak framing nor is it worth planing it four square I’d also need a wider board to do that and thus more waste. #wood...

A little on sliding dovetails. It’s rare for me to use a power router these days as there is almost always a better way but for these big pocket dovetails they really are king! Clear grained slow grown larch for these little corbels for a Georgian door canopy. Thanks for watching. #architecturaljoinery #woodworking #buildingconservation #traditionaljoinery

In this video I am cutting rebates for diminished stiles for a set of double French doors. Apologies for the audio I am working on a microphone for these videos. There’s lots of ways to do this job with machines but it almost always leaves a radius that is not evident in the period doors that are being matched for this job. #joinery #antiquetools #handplanes #historicbuildings #conservationcarp...

A requested video on the difference between sash fillister and standard fillister planes. A look at other forms of rebate planes too. #joinery #handplanes #woodworking #antiquetools
