That hardwood you used is called Brazilian Chestnut.
Mate that is awesome 👏 I love watching you create those planes
very nice
The piece of hardwood that was in question the species is wenge
Stunning! The wood is Wengé.
Or ebony
Oh, I so want one of those, Stavros! Haha Your work NEVER fails to amaze. Thanks so much for sharing it with us. Hope to see a new video soon!
Very, very impressive! To me, it is not only a functioning wood plane but also a work of art!!
Thank you :)
I think you have an endless supply of old steel plane blades. Great job as always.
I can't exhaust that supply ;) All the best for you!
So very thankful the Good Lord allows us to honor Him in Craftmanship!!
So awesome! 👍🏻 well done. Bravo!
Thank you Steven :)
I started this video thinking, "hey, this looks like a fun and useful project I could do." I ended with, "I think I'll buy one." Excellent craftsmanship and a great video. Thank you for sharing.
You're welcome :) Merry Christmast!
This was exquisite
Thank you
I am a luthier want to be.
I will be back
É maravilhoso seu trabalho e também é um prazer assistir essa fabricação de plainas maravilhosa você é um ótimo profissional 🇧🇷🙏
That, good sir, is a wonderful luthier's thumb plane! I can't be 100% on the wood species because this particular piece resembles multiple species, but I am almost certain that it is quarter-sawn Wenge. At first I thought it might be Black Palm, but that wood tends to have larger sapwood striations running along the grain which would be clearly visible along the face and endgrain. I was able to rule out Bocote, Katalox, Ebony, and African Blackwood due to the particular contrast and coloration of the grain. It is definitely not Acacia as that wood tends to have a lighter burgundy color with a lower hardness and density and more dispersed annual growth rings, and Brazilian Chestnut is also typically a burgundy color with a completely different grain structure. Wenge lumber is very hard, very dense, and very waxy. Quarter-sawn Wenge tends to have the exact grain structure as this piece, the same colors (very dark brown to black with light thin striations along the straight sections of grain), and has a tendency to destroy your woodworking tools due to its incredibly tough heartwood. The only thing that keeps me from being 100% about it as that it is rare to find a piece this wide with such perfectly straight grain! The grain tends to enjoy waving its way around, but I do have a few boards that do have sections with similar straight grain, just not along the full surface! Thank you for yet another wonderful build!
You made a wonderful job, mister :)
Thanks Mario!
You do such beautiful work! Fantastic craftsmanship!
You sir, are a true craftsman. It’s enjoying watching you work!
Just a suggestion from a part time luthier. A curved bottom surface is more desirable for these to hollow out violin/mandolin/archtop guitar tops and backs.
Thanks! I know that but this one is designed to be use on flat spots :)
Regards!
A true master at what he does. I would die happy if I acquired one of his planes.
Instead I’ll try just to copy him. If I don’t have immediate access to boxwood, what other woods would serve well as the body of my plane? Got a few chunks of cherry. Some Osage orange. Some oak.I’m making a copy of your shoulder plane.
Any dense hardwood will be good. Just remember about grain orientation
Some day, some collector will find this or another of your pieces, and have bragging rights to ownership of an original Gakos.
I hope :) Regards!
I like it
Clearly, such a person would consider himself truly blessed and favored. 👍
Really great!
Thank you!
Muszę się nauczyć tak pstrykać w palce, to znacznie przyspiesza robotę...hahahahahaha. Zwłaszcza przy mozolnej i długiej robocie. Feliz Navidad Matteo
Zapraszam na kurs ;) Wesołych Dario :)
Very impressive. Not only beautiful but functional. It may not be intended but I can see the influence of Bill Carter in this piece. Extremely well done...congratulations.
Thank you Dahl :)
very nice build
Thank you!
the reward for patience and precision. Magnificent
Thank you!
Excellent job as always!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks !
Lovely work Stavros. Thank you.
Beautiful piece of work
youre the top of the game right now. no other youtuber comes close to your skill
Thank a lot Tommy! I appereciate it!
Piękna , bez mała jubilerska robota, drewno hebanowe i mosiądz jak złoto, stal jak platyna. No i taki sam efekt,wyszedł Ci niezły klejnot.
Dziękuję :)
super video
A true master craftsman. Thank you for sharing.
If I didn't see you make it, I wouldn't have believed it. I have ZERO use for one, but would love to try something like that. Nice work!!
Thank you!
Mesmerising video. Such skill and patience. Bravo.
Thanks a lot!
Good video
Magnifique travail. Très belle association acier/laiton/bois. Un vrai travail d'artiste digne de trôner dans la vitrine d'un collectionneur. Bravo et merci
Thanks a lot! All the best for you :)
I know this is an old video but the wood looks like Black and White Ebony, I know in the United States a piece that is 2"×2"×12" cost around $50 to $60 depending on dealer, very expensive stuff but absolutely beautiful. This really is a very beautifully built plane, in awe of the skills and craftsmanship
Thank you:)
I only knew those luthier planes from Ibex. But you've met their match for sure! What a stunning endresult! And that dark ipe/wenge-ish wood matches SO well! Excellent job once again! Thnx!
Thanks a lot Pat! yes i know them :)
Very beautiful, great craftsmanship. I was going to skip watch this so I didn't have to watch any boring bits but I watched every single second of this. Well done sir, my hat's off to you.
Thanks a lot :) all the best for you!
You made an absolutely amazing tool, i'm a cabinetmaker and like such fine tools.
Go on! Best greets from bavaria
Thanks a lot Benedict! Regards!
Nice Stavros. Very nice.
Damn that’s some outstanding craftsmanship, great videos you put out
Świetna robota. Cały czas się rozwijasz i cały czas zaskakujesz oczywiście pozytywnie. Tak trzymać
Dzięki, pozdrawiam!
Geniale gakos
jestes Mistrzem!!))
Dzięki :)
2 videos in 2 day?! What an awesome Christmas gift you’ve given us!
;)
Beautiful little plane, thank you for this video, have a good end of year celebrations
Thank you Bruno! All the best for you!
Bravo once again amazing creation
It is a wonderful plane, I need moreee infill planes))
Beautiful craftsmanship. First time viewer. I decided to watch even though I had never seen this type of plane. I love how you joined the two metals together. Great job! Merry Christmas!
Thanks a lot Tom! Merry Christmast!
Dear Stavros, another lovely creation. I agree with the other writers on the identity of the wood - it’s Wenge from Africa. It is a very attractive wood and so far I have used it to make tool handles. The patterns in the wood are very attractive.
Thanks Peter!
very nice job, it seems to me it will come in handy all day long. I like it so much I might try to make one myself. Thank You !!
You're welcome Pat, regards :)
Beautiful
Great Plane. In my humble opinion , the wood is black palm, I have a similar floor board like the one you used. Cheers!
Thanks a lot Mauricio 👍
Nice work!! I like the use of a brass pipe
Thanks a lot!
fantastic! beautifully crafted!
Я точно такой сделал ,Спасибо Вам 👍
Nice! Where can i see it?
Nifty narrow grinding wheel
Another video in quick succession and a sweet little plane, this makes me happy. As someone noted below the next challenge is to do one with a curved underside :D. Thanks Stavros.
Thanks a lot Andrew :)
Challange accepted.
All the best for you!
These things are pricey but worthy and useful. Great for bowmaking i bet or any woodcraft.
Nice! RWB
That's amazing. I have to watch all your videos it's amazing work. Keep up
Thanks a lot!
good job. Wish I had the magic fingers too, saves a lot of work.
Haha thank you ;)
Outstanding I want one, but I don’t know what I’d use it for lol
Wow! ....true craftsman 👍
Thank you!
Beautiful job! Using that brass tubing is a great idea. I'm thinking about squishing it a little in the vise to make a more elongated shape, with more space for the infill and less of a gap aound the iron...
Thanks! That's the plan for the next thumb plane ;)
Regards!
Absolutely lovely.
Beautiful!
Wow amazing. 👍
With the steep blade angle is a scraping action. Looks great.
Thanks! It is 50 deg
The wood looks like IPE. Good job on the plain.
Thanks a lot David, all the best!
Good job bro. Respect from other side of water...
Thank you!
Za twoje umiejętności cię już chwaliłem ,teraz pochwalę za świetny sposób montowania filmów.Pozdrawiam i Wesołych Świąt życzę.
Dziękuję Grzesiek! Wesołych świąt :)
My guess is that the wood is ipe, which is indeed extremely hard and heavy, and is also used in high-end floor and deck applications. Since there's a tongue on one side like a floorboard would have, that fits.
Jeszcze czegoś takiego nie widziałem! Super! :)
Dzięki :)
Чёткая работа, до последнего момента не мог понять что это будет!!! 👍👍👍💪💪💪👏👏👏
That is beautiful... I would love to see you build a convex sole thumb plane to go with that one. As a Luthier I use convex sole thumbies to carve tops.
Thanks! One day i'll build it :)
Beautiful. I would have liked a little more meat on the leading side of the cross-pin.
Thanks!
Мои Поздравления ,Шановному Пану Гакосу,ВИДЕО по чёткости и полезности выше всяких похвал!Жаль,что не было шуток..
Thanks a lot! Jokes.. I promise improvement ;)
All the best for you!
Great job. For the wood, this is a Wenge. African wood so beautiful and strong :)
Thanks Damien! Wenge is much softer and not so dense.. Probably it is afican blackwood. All the best for you!
@@StavrosGakos African blackwood? Why I don't think? :)
Could be ekki
That click at around 8:10 ooh so satisfying
Next ladies and gentlemen one and only in the world delight of hairy ones the straight razor plane. Oh yeah.
Нет слов! Руки-золото!
Dziękuję :)
Piękna robota, gratulacje 👌.
Dziękuję 😀.
Never seen one of these before. Great job making it Stavros!!
Enjoyed your video and gave it a Thumbs Up
Thanks a lot :)
Wunderschön, ist er!!!!!
Una obra de arte,divina de la muerte,un saludo y por supuesto un like desde Naron(Galicia).Posdata:Felices fiestas
Merry Christmast Vicente!
A seriously nice piece. I`m certain it`s unique on You Tube !
Thanks a lot Glenn:)
Great video and very inspiring! I would think an oval shaped sole would be better than round but I can't argue when seeing the shaving result at the end. I'm still planning to make one myself and this video helps me getting closer to my goal. I have made a smaller sized wooden one with a flat rectangular sole which works great. Used wengé for the sides.
Thanks! Oval shaped sole is idea for another video.
Good luck with your plane!
All the best for you :)
Mr. Gakos,
You are an artist. A real artist. I would be honored to have a tool made by your hands. Is this possible? How can I have a piece of your work?
Best wishes and a big hug from an brazilian admirer! :D
Thanks a lot! Stay tuned on my instagram profile. If i will decided to sell something i will write about it there. Regards!
A myślałem ze człowieka witruwiańskiego zaczniesz rzeźbić w tej stali :-P
piękna geometria wykreślna :-):-)
Dzięki ;)
I want to win that plane adjusting hammer!!! Please please!!!! Happy New Year!
Wrong video ;)
Happy New Year!
Stavros Gakos I know. Haha. I figured if you saw my comments in enough places, you would figure I was a super fan and pick me as the winner. Lol
Another great video, Stavros. Your work is amazing. The wood looked like Wenge. It throws a fine rather irritating dust.
Thanks Nik! Wenge is much softer and not so dense.. Probably it is afican blackwood. All the best for you!
Precision.
Looks like some really dark brazilian ipe
Як завжди гарна робота!!!
Mistrzu 😎
That’s so awesome, you make planes from everything and they work that great
Absolutely stunning 👌🏻
I think this is wenge or some kind of ironwood
Biżuteria stolarsko-ślusarska.Pozdrawiam.
Dziękuję, pozdrowienia!
Лютый мастак!!!
Great job! Now make an infill smoothing plane ;)
Thanks, one day for sure :)
Incredible! Such amazing craftmanship! The videos and editing are excellent too. My only suggestion is to do the finger snap trick less or not at all. You snapped through some stuff I wanted to see! 🙂 Great work though!
Thanks! I use finger snap mostly when i don't want to duplicate process wich i showed in previous videos :) Regards!
Incredible craftsmanship. What is a plane like this used for?
Thanks a lot! I'm gonna use it on curved chamfers during planemaking. Regards
très beau
