How to make a super simple grooving plane with any wood.
Переглядів 2,8 тис.Місяць тому
This is a grooving plane. There are several versions with all the bells and whistles but do you really need all of that? I say no. This version is as simple as you can get. Accessible for anyone but it does the job just as good. Build it for yourself and be proud. Music - Epidemic Sound- #woodmade #handmade #madera #carpinteria #shop #woodworker #build

Little Known use of the Cutting Gauge
Переглядів 1,3 тис.2 місяці тому
This is a little trick to use the cutting gauge for cutting small strips over and over. Cutting them that small on the table saw isn't something I like to do and some people don't want to have to cut down with a saw. Score the wood several times and then snap it loose. Finish off with a handplane and shooting board. Hope it helps. Music- Epidemic Sound #make #woodmade #build #handmake #handtools

Learning to use the hatchet can improve your hand eye coordination and speed up your work. With some practice, you can get really close to the line without cutting off your fingers. Giving credit where credit is due. I learned all of this from Mortise and Tenon Magazine. They are a great resource for learning. #handmake #carpentry #make #woodwork #mortiseandtenon #handtools #woodworkshop #carpe...

Some good ideas for the novice.
I hope so. Thanks
Nice bookshelf! I appreciate your laid back attitude and your philosophy of Just go make something, do your best, don’t worry about what someone else has done. ✌️
Appreciate the kind words. Spread the message!
Well done! Understanding and mastering the basic techniques…priceless!
Gratsy!
Well said Sir, I watch an awful lot of woodworking videos and ( sweeping statement) a lot are made in America and a lot of them are shite.... amateur woodworking with all the tools in a cabinet behind them etc a video camera and a need to have smoke blown up their arse... so it is refreshing to see it as it is and should be, hat off to you.
That makes two of us. I also like to watch a lot of woodworking channels. One of my favorite pastimes. Takes my mind off the world. I do my best to not try to come off as something I'm not just to get views. I try to make cool stuff and maybe give some people a few ideas,and learn at the same time. I like the fact that I can communicate with people from all over and get their thoughts. I think that's one of the coolest aspects of this. Thank you!
Nicely done. With this plane could you make a series of blades that are different radius’s for use in different situations? One question, what is the tool with the blue handle?
That's a good question. Im not 💯 sure but thinking about it, I'm not sure how well that would work. You couldn't make the blade radius smaller otherwise you would have trouble on your depth with the plane body acting like a stop so you have to keep extending the blade out and you probably would not want the blade radius larger because the plane body acts like a guide once you create a groove so you might not be able to track well. But that would be a little neat experiment. I could be wrong. The blue handle tool,I'm not sure what you are referring to other than my clamp but I would have to go back and review that old video. Thanks though.
This guy is good
Thank you for the compliment. I appreciate it. Keep on making!
Totally agree , people over think things with fancy power tools etc. keep it simple and you'll find hand tools are more fun to work with 😊
Exactly. I love the simplicity of tools.
@Juan-hr7ol I used to be a power tool person but since I've mastered hand tools I've not touched a router in years 😂 the only thing I do use occasionally is the table saw to reduce stock sizes.
Id say 90% of the time I'm using hand tools but depending on the job I still might dust off a power tool here and there. I'm not going to lie and say I don't. Like a 5-6 ft long plank that has to be planed down and I have to do like 4 of them? I'm going outside with the thicknesser. I hate it because it's so loud but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Id rather hear the sound of hand tools.
Tips that can be used for all woodworkers, no just beginners! Keep them coming!
Maybe That was the correct title.
1) wisdom with age…the workshop is my place of many thoughts too. Great thoughts. 2) excellent content. How would these disks work (but smaller) as “maker marks” on things you make or have made? (E.g embed a smaller one on the kerfing plane, or on bottom of the box you made instead of using a hot stamp?…just a thought…
That is an idea. I like it. Some thinner brass and a constant voltage source instead of the battery would probably etch it a whole lot better. Yea definitely enjoy my time in my shop. I've never come out of there feeling worse, only better. Thank you!
An interesting approach here.Full marks for originality.I like it!
Thank you sir.
Good message. Thanks
No problemo. Glad you found it helpful.
You should have been a philosopher! 😃👍🏻
To be or not to be?
Cool, looks like your own Ezra battalion challenge coin
Heck yeah! That's an idea.
Not too late, I started CNC work just over 3 years ago at age 62, its my retirement therapy. Loving every minute of it, designing using all the art work that I never learned at school !
That's awesome man! That will keep you young. Keep on keeping on.
Oh, one other thing. If you take a piece of PVC pipe and glue one end cap on, then glue on a threaded end cap on the other end where you can put a removable plug, you can put in your bigger 1.5 and up as bid as you want, I guess, and soak your billet for at least a week but 2-3 is better in mineral oil. It makes cutting the threads so much better. Smooth as glass and almost zero tear out. And it kind of swells the wood, like boat builders did back in the day, and condenses the wood too. Results are AMAZING and the difference is TRUELY AMAZING.
Pretty cool. I'm a little impatient. I don't know if I would be able to wait 3 weeks. Usually I do a couple of days and I learned as long as I sharpen the hell out of the cutter,it does pretty good. But maybe I'll try that and let a big piece sit for a few weeks for the fun and see how it cuts for myself. Tanks!
Neat. Should the fence be on the other side so you can push with your right hand?
Yup. I made it this way thinking maybe I'd be able to maneuver it better. Experimentation but since I'm right handed you are right. No pun intended. I made a new simple one though. The video is up if interested. Thanks!
9:25 if only you had a rabbet plane...
Dang I had to go back and see what part. You're right. That would have been helpful. I haven't made one of those. Yet
Good job
Thank you sir. I'm going to use the heck out of it and see how she holds up.
nice visual style. realy something else. i enjoyed every part of your build/video.
I appreciate that. Glad that you dig it.
Great video but I could do without the music, I like it when there is just the ambient sound
I usually go back and forth. Sometimes I want music. Sometimes nothing. I'm trying to find that balance. Thanks!
good tip with the lateral adjuster, works the same with sharpening, doesn't have to be 90 degrees exactly because, you have a lateral adjuster
yup ok, worthy of a sub! good video!
Yea I think makers today worry a little too much about certain things being "perfect". A simple adjustment lines everything right up and you're good to go. Thank you!
Just what you need for drawer bottoms! I like the shooting board.
Yes sir. You don't need anything fancy. Simple is Always better in my opinion.
Nice work! Inspiring. Great video.
Thank you! Now time to make your own.
Great job
Thank you sir Charles and thanks for checking out the video.
Awesome as usual!!!
Hey Thanks a lot. You are too kind.
I can't believe that the people at yt did not push this my way. Nice plane.
Thank you! Well at least it finally did. As a matter of fact I have a similar one coming out probably this weekend if you are interested. Thanks again.
Prevod
Que?
Very nice!ly done Never seen that. Skill is incremental, the important thing is to start the journey, observe and listen, except for few skilled trades there are no formal apprenticeship programs today, and if you step out of your specialty you are starting at the bottom again . For many people a UA-cam video is the first introduction to a whole new world, thank you for posting this.
You are definitely welcome! I myself wish they had some kind of woodworking program around here or that I even knew someone experienced that could teach me but unfortunately no. It makes me glad if one of my videos can help a few people or just show them something new. Thank you.
I'm groovin on your shop!
Like thanks man. It's a work in progress.
Love the format. Great work.
Gracias. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Cool format with good editing
Thank you sir. Appreciate it
I haven't tried it out yet, but you can also use gelatine, salt, and water. Chris Schwarz has the recipe in his book American Peasant. He has it as a free read on his website. Now I have 2 glues to try! In your experience, what is the cure time for rice glue?
Pretty cool. I like Chris Schwartz. I'll have to look it up. The rice glue ,I usually let it set for a day but it's usually warm where I'm at so there's that which I'm sure has an effect on it. I'm surprised how well it holds. Plus it's kind of a fun thing to know you can do besides buy it.
Thunder Cats, HOOOO!
Ha. I'm surprised someone actually recognized it. It's a pretty old school show.
Really nice work! You’re not alone in liking pine, btw. It’s one of America’s most popular and traditional woods. And just a quick note… when you resawed those flat sawn planks, they looked like quarter sawn because they ARE quarter sawn! Great idea. I’ve got some 8/4 Eastern white pine rough lumber that I am going to turn into toy boxes for my grandkids, I’m going to try this “trick” of yours to make the panels I’ll build them from!
That's pretty awesome man. Always cool whenever you can take something in its rawest form and turn it into something.
Thank you, THANK you, THANK YOU! For not subjecting us to the sound of the planer! The only thing worse is when they speed up the video and the pitch gets even more annoying. Nice to see the work you are doing in a small space and your incorporation of the hand tools.
Thank you. Yea I hate those things also but they definitely come in handy on big jobs. I'm not hand planing multiple 8 ft boards. No way Jose. But I love motorcycles. My shop is definitely tiny. Still trying to organize it better. Thanks for watching!
Nice job and a good workout
Thank you. Definitely a workout but a sharp blade and waxing the bottom of the plane helps.
The number of people who feel the need to tell others how to live their lives and use their tool discusts me. If you don't like how he is using his tools because you think it is unsafe or damages them the solution is simple, DON'T WATCH!!!
I know I don't know everything and I know there are plenty of people out there that know more than me. I'm not delusional. I'm willing to accept ideas or tips but there's a way to present that to the person and there is the way Not to. Like be cool man
I totally agree. I also know we are all responsible for our own actions. What he is doing only runs a risk of harming himself and no-one else.
And I thought the hatchet was asking for a shave, lol
Thank you for this video.
No problemo. I'm glad when one of the videos helps someone out there in the woodworking universe.
It’s good to see people making with old fashioned hand tools 😊
I enjoy the heck out of it. Nice quiet and peaceful. Thank you
Hmm…you could try the kerfing plane to cut the top off. I’ve been thinking about making one just to do that job.
Damn. That's an idea. I made one and didn't even use it. Dope! Gracias.
@@Juan-hr7ol Whoa whoa whoa. A kerfing plane is basically a saw blade with a fence - when I suggested something like that two hours ago, you poo-pooed it. Discrimination! lol ;-)
Lol. You right. I guess it is. Maybe that's why I didn't use it. My excuse is my brain shunned it for that reason. I never said jigs were not a good idea. Just that I try not to use them as much anymore. Maybe I'll do a video to see what majority of people use them today vs not.
@@Juan-hr7ol…regardless of the tools used, nice build!…a box to be cherished for years….
Thank you. Much appreciated.
15:32 I’d be terrified cutting a box open by hand, potentially ruining all the work I’ve done to get to that point. Here’s how I would do it: get a saw blade and sandwich it between two flat and straight pieces of wood. Put the box upside down on the flattest surface you have and run the saw sandwich against it. Should result in a very straight cut. Or you could even just clamp your saw flat onto a surface with a piece of wood under it and run the box against it.
Oh yea it was definitely a little bit of a stresser but Ive been trying to minimize using jigs in order to speed up the job. Like for example I stopped using a jig for sharpening my chisels and plane blades. All free hand. But yea, some problems are best using a jig. Not completely going to abandon them. But I succeeded! Thanks for watching
@@Juan-hr7ol I get it, but I still like jigs and rely on them, I don’t get enough practice to focus on free-handing all those things - not the thrill I’m looking for, at least not yet.
@mm9773 Lol. Totally understand man. Another factor for me is my shop is tiny so the real estate is valuable.
Good job! Very pleasant to watch. You need better lights to improve the quality of your videos.
Thank you! I definitely do. Been trying to work on that. Lighting and hopefully soon, a better camera.
I recently did this with some not very good cypress that a family had bought for me to make them a kitchen table. They liked the result very much-I intertwined a few narrow strips of mahogany to make it look like it was all as intended.
Heck yeah. Wouldn't mind seeing a picture of it. Sometimes it takes a bit of work but I'm always happy I did it in the end.
Great video. Newbie qn: why go to all trouble removing so much material to make that hook. Why not just glue/squarea small piece on either side of a sqaured up base?
@@SriramKarra Mostly because I'm stubborn and I like to chop up wood. But yea I agree. More than one way to skin a kangaroo. Whichever way suits you best is what I always say. Thanks for watching wherever you are in the world.
Great point, which I realized today doing something similar to this project. I tried to precisely hollow a portion in a cheap knotty 2by4 pine. It was a fail, so i decided to fix two stops with screws. I would not trust glue alone here though, as the forces can be too great. Wooden pegs would be an alternative to screws
Yea. Wood pegs would definitely help. As far as glue, I don't know. I've done some tests myself and watched several videos on glue. The glue we have today is really strong. Most of the time,the wood around the glue has failed before the glue. Crazy stuff
How well do the glued miters hold up? I've seen you make a couple boxes this way. Thanks.
Pretty good so far honestly. I've seen several videos about end grain glue ups. There's one in particular where they glued up wood several different configurations. Turns out end grain glue ups are a lot stronger than what people have thought. Interesting video. If I can remember the persons name I'll message it to you in here. Thanks
You just need a bit more glue than normal on end grain as the wood soaks up more as it cures because of the bigger gaps in between the fibres. I often add a bit of glue first to let it soak in beforehand then do the normal glue up process. That being said gluing end to end with no joinery at all is never a good idea especially with anything that will take even a moderate load.
Was that it! That cam and went quicker than me!
Lol. It was more of a preview. The full length video is still being edited but should be out this weekend.
Very cool
Thank you! A more in depth video is in the works if interested.
Do you use a Japanese square?
I do. I also use wooden ones that I have made myself.
Thank you! That would be a good way to make kumiko strips from a thin board without waste
For sure. Just cut a hair ahead of the line so you can tune it in with your handplane if it doesn't break cleanly. Different woods break off cleaner than others,and if you do have trouble just cut a hair deeper and that will help with it I have learned. Thanks for watching.
Have you got a blade in there instead of a marking pin?
Yes sir. They make two different ones. From what I have learned from reading over the years, the pin kind is mainly used like how I did here. With the grain. Makes the line easier to see and the blade kind you want to use across the grain like whenever you are cutting dovetails. It severs the wood cleanly unlike the pin kind, so you have a nice edge. This is just another way to use the blade kind.
