    Love Mr. Ng’s dry sense of humor and of course his expertise. As someone who went the Ebay/refurbish route before buying a Lie Nielsen jack plane, I wish I had considered buying the Lie Nielsen or Veritas Jack with the extra blades first. I would recommend that path for anyone starting out.

    • @richardsinger01
      @richardsinger01 2 роки тому +2

      I wouldn't, its a waste of money for a beginner. Lie Neilsen and Veritas make high quality tools and are nice to have if you have very deep pockets, but you do not need tools of this price to do first class work.

    I took a class from William Ng, it was expensive and worth every penny! I've had several classes at Palomar College but the best instruction was from Mr. Ng, he's simply amazing! ❤😂 As far as planes go, if you want three, a low-angle block, a #4 1/2 and #6 from Lie-Nielsen (expensive) or Woodriver from Woodcraft (less expensive), don't waste time on Rockler. There ARE better planes but these have great blades and are pretty flat , easy to use!

    @jimbo2629 2 роки тому

    Your comment about the side screws to enable the lateral adjuster to function was a Eureka moment for me. I baulked at spending so much on any low angle Jack plane, so I made a wooden one with the Veritas Norris style adjuster. The side screws will improve its deficiency with the lateral adjuster.
    Shavings turning was also enlightening.
    Your jokes are terrible.😀😀 They made me chuckle.

    @roofermarc1 10 місяців тому

    Good info. I sold my Stanley's, all 15 of them and bought LN. The thicker blades and truer body's made all the difference. I was spending more time restoring the Stanley's and always struggling to get them perfect. They were nice and I liked them but I'm not looking back. The LN I could put to good use with only a small honing.

    So good to see your video and to know that you are healthy. Your dry sense of humor left me laughing out loud several times in this video. I own several antique planes and had a Lot to learn from you today.
    Thank you again for all your efforts to make these videos available to all of us with less experience!

  • @TheFalconJetDriver

    William NG, Welcome Back, it is a delight to see another outstanding video from you and your modeling hands.
    I am the guy with the power tools, however I want to be the one with the zin with wood.
    I have been the one flying the airplane for fifty years, yes the plane with wings. 🤣
    Seriously Thank you for making this video and sharing your knowledge with us. I own a hand plane that my great grandfather used and I am 64 years old I have sharpened the iron however the design is pretty crude. And I have not been able to master the art of using this plane unlike the one with wings.
    You have introduced me to the finer points of hand planes. After seeing your video I am going to consider purchasing a quality hand plane. Thank you.😁🛫

    • @johnschackai268
      @johnschackai268 4 роки тому

      William is a great help. You don't or will ever need any plane that is not made by Stanley. The secret to getting the best results from a plane is the setup, and that includes the most important part--sharpening.

    Found you for the first time today and can’t thank you enough for this video. I had purchased a Stanley SW smoothing plan as my first hand plane. I could tell it was a good plane but my lack of knowledge involving how all the knobs work and what they are for made me put it away. Can’t wait to get back in the shop now and make some wisdom and a flat smooth board while I’m at it!
