Thank you! I'm new to woodworking, and am very interested in buying and restoring quality tools. I do have a reasonable attention span, so I think I'll be able to watch the unedited version, so you don't need to break it up, for me, but do whatever most of your fans find it most appropriate. again... thank you!
Yes to both! Do it! Especially cause I'm getting to appreciate the value in hand tool woodworking, and looking forward to buying my own instead of borrowing from friends.
Sargent VBM planes made between 1910 and 1918 are as good or better than Stanley's of any vintage . Heavier castings, thicker blades, and rear totes placed farther back make these planes better. I collected Stanley type 10 and 11's for 25 years before I found my first Sargent VBM . Now I only buy Sargent VBM's. My Stanley's stay on a display shelf. My Sargents are on my workbebch. Low beaded front knobs, east indian rosewood knob and totes, folded lateral adj levers, VBM stamped on the blade and the lever cap indicate planes made by Sargent from the 1910 to 1918 . Fulton and Blue Grass are other brands that were made by Sargent during that era . The Fulton and Sargent VBM's are usually cheaper when you find them . George Sargent set out to complete with Stanley during that period and came out with a better plane. Bought 22" Fulton Jointer at an auction for $35. It is better than any other jointer in my collection. I have 6 other Stanley and Sargent jointer planes that i paid a lot more for. So if you find a Sargent VBM of that era, give it a try. you may be pleasantly surprised. Great video
Thanks for the intro, I have had many opportunities at roadside flea markets to pick up hand planes and have always been reluctant to do so because I don't really know how to tell the quality of the planes I'm looking at. This is a really good introduction and I am looking forward to any other used hand plane info you will be sharing in the future.
Nice video I have a few planes (less than fifty) myself but Dennis has information that I still find useful. I bought a #3 Woodriver because finding a decent one after Chris Schwarz touted them on his blog was difficult to find at a reasonable price.
Flea markets or garage sales to start with. That way you can take it apart and make sure all the parts are there. Or buy from another woodworker you can trust. Online is risky unless you know what you are looking at.
An Interesting topic Chad. I’m interested in knowing more about planes including what to look for and how to use them. Last year I bought my first two planes, a Stanley low angle block plane and a Stanley #4. The block plane came sharpened and ready to use and I’ve used it on several projects. I’ve really enjoyed using it. The tote on the #4 was cracked and I’ve now broken it so it needs to be repaired. Otherwise it’s a very nice plane.
Thank you Gentlemen, very interesting. Yes go for a full series on the planes. I'll be sure to watch them all. Well Chad, here's me thinking I'm doing alright with 15 plane ( total), How will I ever catch you up LOL
I would really look forward to more videos on old hand planes, restoration and maintenance, as a user not an investor/collector. Length of videos doesn't matter much if the content is clearly explained or demonstrated and smoothly edited. I find this video a good example of an entertaining and educational experience but must say I do not enjoy just listening to 3 or 4 people chat about things in general or how they do it better than everyone else. Thanks for posting this and I will await further editions.
Nice video! 👍 11:57 - I have that plane, and it is in fact the worst plane I own! The frog sits flimsily perched up on thin supports so the chatter is terrible! My suggestion is if you see planes with plastic parts, avoid them altogether! 😉
I would love to know if you are buying a new pkane to start with, what features to look for. there are a lot out there and its intimidating to know whats worth the money or if something cheaper will do the work
I like your style, ask and produce, I do have a question; I want to build my wife a table for her plants in front of our bow window. I would like to combined standard 2x6 pine with some hardwood that I have on hand, the hardwood would be around the edge and two strips down the center on the long side. Want concerns with this mix should I lookout for?
Mostly guy use the lever cap for undoing the nut on the chip breaker to remove it from the Iron , not a good practice , better to use a good fitting screwdriver .
@@ChadStanton Heck On SocSec, I would have trouble with base price and shipping. I have a Kobalt #4 that I really worked on. It...works. Now that I understand moving the frog, maybe that will help. I still am not happy with the chip breaker/iron interface. I don't know what the interface should look like. Should it be coplanar or should the breaker lip be in contact, with a gap aft of the lip? I bought a Jack from a flea market. While messing with it I lost the Tote fore screw. #10 fine threads is a rare breed now! I was messing with it trying to get thin shavings. (Again, Thanks for clarifying that.) I have a "Windsor Smoother" that i use for a scrub plane. Also a Kobalt block plane. The Jack is an actual Stanley that was sort of fettled before I got it for $35 bucks about 5 years ago.
@@brucewelty7684 In a couple videos to come, Dennis and I will go through the steps needed to tune up a hand plane and make it sing. In general, when the chip breaker and the blade are together, there should be zero light between them. I keep the chip breaker about 1/32-1/16 away from the edge of the blade.
Thank you!

I'm interested in the tune up video.
I will do that. But from the input of others, I will do a couple other "buying" hand plane videos before the tune up one.
Good video, thank you! More information on what to get for planes to be used and trying to find decent parts
Nice video I have a few planes (less than fifty) myself but Dennis has information that I still find useful. I bought a #3 Woodriver because finding a decent one after Chris Schwarz touted them on his blog was difficult to find at a reasonable price.
Thanks, Chad! Good interview. I’m beginning to look for user planes. Where would you suggest I look, please?
Flea markets or garage sales to start with. That way you can take it apart and make sure all the parts are there. Or buy from another woodworker you can trust. Online is risky unless you know what you are looking at.
@@ChadStanton Thanks, Chad … again good interview and info!
Great discussion Chad and Dennis. Thanks for sharing it.
Show more and yes let know where you get your planes
I would definitely like to see the videos you mentioned. That would be some great info.

Don my friend, thank you for watching and your comments.

Yeah i have a problem. My wife wishes i collected something smaller like stamps. Hahahah
I would love to see more content on hand planes I am an enthusiast my self ,

New to using hand planes. More please.
Nice video! 👍

Thanks for the info, I have a few used hand planes. love to hear about restoring the Stanley cast-iron planes
Oh yes, we will be doing that. Stay tuned :-)
Yes, to all of the video topics you mentioned!
Part 2 should be out Jan 11
It's a great topic - I'd like to see multiple shorter videos on hand planes.
Will do!
Thanks for another informative, awesome video.
I would love to know if you are buying a new pkane to start with, what features to look for. there are a lot out there and its intimidating to know whats worth the money or if something cheaper will do the work
That's a great point. We should talk about that
More short videos! What a great idea!

Email me at woodchoppintime@gmail.com and let's talk
Loved it. Thanks!
Then again, I'm obsessed with handplanes. I have a problem :)
I hear ya! Hahahaha
Great topic Chad, the details are good as well, what is Saftey Dan doing these days?
I moved almost 2 years ago
Smooth showing 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for the summary. Good intel!
What’s not to like about hand planes? Clue me in for future info and thank you and have a Great 2020!!
I hear my brotha! Love the hand planes!
Yes more plane the better
Mostly guy use the lever cap for undoing the nut on the chip breaker to remove it from the Iron , not a good practice , better to use a good fitting screwdriver .
Very informative.
Yes this topic is very interesting, why not make one on transition and another on wooden planes
Yes that is the plan. The hour-long video Dennis talks about that. So I will do a shorter version of both of those. Thanks for the input.
Once again great video.
Definitely up for shorter videos on those various topics
Interesting
TWO HUNDRED planes??? Heck! no wonder us entry level guys can't find used ones.
Hahahaha you want to buy some?

Thanks for the video. I refuse to buy Wood River, or anything else made in China
