    Very interesting. It looked like you were using it as a shoulder plane there? I guess the advantage/disadvantage is the lack of fore-foot to get into tight spaces, plus you can convert it into a chisel plane?

    • @allenwc
      @allenwc Місяць тому

      Absolutely, using a bullnose plane as a fat shoulder plane is a natural. Once you have the dado started it follows perfectly. And, yes, the big advantage of the bullnose is the very short forefoot. That allows you to get right up on stopped dados, then removing the toe/nose you can clean up the dado stop. There are so many uses for these planes I’ll be doing a separate video on it.

    Holding the crosscut saw incorrectly in your introductory part?

    • @allenwc
      @allenwc Місяць тому

      because I don’t extend my index finger along the handle? No, that’s not incorrect. You will notice that my hand fits comfortably in the handle with all fingers. This is a relatively large saw, with a correspondingly large handle. One may extend one’s index finger but it isn’t required unless the handle is too small to fit your entire grip. A lot of small joinery saws have small handles.

  • @tombristowe846
    @tombristowe846 Місяць тому

    For me, the one advantage of a block plane is that you can use it one-handed. In my workshop I never use it as I have a bench and a vice, but when I'm on site, with fewer work holding options, it comes into its own.

    • @allenwc
      @allenwc Місяць тому

      Indeed, and probably the most common use of these planes. At least in my experience. I do, however use mine at the bench, it is always at hand.

      thanks kindly for the feedback. I've been experimenting with a chest camera. It has a number of flaws, but it does give good views. I have a another option almost ready to try, so you can expect the next video to be using a different tripod system. I definitely don't want my viewers to get motion sick!

  • @martinrwolfe
    @martinrwolfe Місяць тому

    The low angle block and miniature low angle block planes are definitely my planes of choice for small finicky bits of wood. Also if you do have exotic wood / reversing gain there is nothig stopping you grinding the bevel to a large angle so raising the efective cutt angle to 45 or even 55deg if necessary.

    • @allenwc
      @allenwc Місяць тому

      or even just getting separate blades for different angles. It takes only a few seconds to change. It’s one reason I keep the old Stanley around, it has a high angle blade

    • @allenwc
      @allenwc Місяць тому

      if it can make a shaving, out of the box, of a thousands of an inch I think it can handle any end grain just fine. Block planes, apron planes, what ever you choose to call them are meant for small planing tasks in general. Like trimming the sides of doors, windows, drawers, trim, edging, banding, you name it. They are a general purpose plane, meant to be small so you can keep them handy, use them for a simple quick task, and then drop them back in your apron pocket or portable tool kit.

  • @MDSmith1979
    @MDSmith1979 3 місяці тому

    Not trying to be a jerk, but if the grain was running in an orientation where the wedge would split it, it wouldn’t be suitable orientation for a gamble period.

    • @allenwc
      @allenwc 3 місяці тому

      Ya, not what I meant, I meant if the grain were in the other orientation you could use two smaller wedges, they would likely be enough. I’ve seen plenty of commercial axes done that way. So not really a gamble. I personally haven’t done any that way. When you make your own handles you get to pick your grain. I appreciate your comment though, it helps me to communicate bettter, so no, you are not being a jerk in any way .

  • @blomrj
    @blomrj 3 місяці тому

    The best part of this, which is a not inconsiderable concern, is that the final product will fit your axe head and your hands. Anyone who has ever shopped for shovel or axe handles will realize very quickly that this is a very disposable society. The handles available are few and far between (at least locally) and NEVER fit…

    That is not a very good edge on the scraper. You should be able to get it to cut much better. You should be able to get long very thin shavings that curl up into a tube. For one thing you are not using the burnisher correctly. This is partially Lee Valley’s fault. You have to first set it to 0 degrees and burnish a few times with moderate pressure, this starts to spread the edge of the scraper, then set the angle you want and burnish a few times. ALWAYS using a drop of oil. The directions clearly say this, and it makes a huge difference. Go to Lee Valley and look at the care and use . Using the burnisher directly from the file will work, but the higher the polish the better the scraper will perform, just like with any sharpening.Lee Valley skips this step in their directions for the burnisher, but if you go to their care and use on their scraper page,it gives details and clearly says to stone after filing, but it has to be polished square. And both faces need to be polished at the edge. And probably not on a water stone. It is very easy to damage a water stone if you are not careful. I have owned my variable angle burnisher from long before they started making them out of plastic. Late 80’s early 90’s I think. All the variable angle burnisher does is hold the burnisher at a constant angle. You still have to properly prepare the scraper just like with any other burnisher.
