Great one Stavros ! The nicest, most well thought out design for a shooting board I have found is Matt Estlea’s, here on UA-cam. It uses a sloped bed, so as to allow use of the complete width of the blade.
@@sergecayer942 Thanks! Sloped bed of shooting board is good solve when the blade is perpendicular to the plane - that makes skewed angle of cutting. Skewed shooting planes are designed for flat shooting boards. Bigger skew = easier work on the end grains. Regards!
What is the tpi on that keyhole saw you use? I am looking to make one of my own that is thicker like yours is and I can't tell with your massive hands holding that saw :-) Thanks! Awesome channel
Watching this video makes me realize $200 for a shooting plane suddenly doesn’t seem like so much money. So much work put into this plane and it looks and works amazing!
I am thankful that someone of your talent and skill level is willing to share with those of us who desire to learn! You make me feel as if I could step into the shop and duplicate your work for myself. You are much appreciated!
Of all of your videos I remember I think this is the first time I heard you speak English. As a native-born English speaker, I can tell you that you may have done as good a job with your English as with the incredible craftsmanship you showcase in the shop!
beautiful work, astounding craftsmanship. I'll never look at my old wood block planes again without thinking of the craftsmen who made them. It is great that such skills have not been lost. well done & greetings from Tasmania.
Stavros, that is a beautiful piece. The whole thing: the video production, the concept, the execution, and especially the tool itself. In my mind it is truly a work of art. I'm so inspired by your mastery. Bravo.
Your comment explains why you liked the fact I gave one of my handmade planes to my friend in Idaho. I would love to see how you make your plane floats. Seasons greetings from the high plains of Texas. As usual beautiful work.
Hello Stavros,first of all I really like your work and I like to watch your videos,but I love this Shootingboard Plane from you,I wish you continued success, greetings from Austria.
Amazing craftsmanship, and it works better than my Lie-Nielsen low-angle jack plane. But, I'm fairly certain it's user error. Thanks for the amazing content, I always enjoy your work.
I love seeing your earlier projects, chisels and cutters, etc., show up in later projects, like extended members of the family coming to dinner. I had the thought "I just saw him make that set!" when I saw the angled left and right chisels. I am intrigued by the broad pointed flat toothed scraper like tool. I'd love to have you add just a little footage at the end to show the full family of hand tools you used. You might even show the end product and where each tool contributed. I saw a deep narrow chisel, the narrow toothed saw, etc. Each one is a personality. Again like family members. I'm a delighted and inspired fan. I've been adding some daily making of tangible things to my otherwise intellectual day.
Inspiring stuff. I have been using an old wooden block plane for shooting but the clearance ahead of the cutting edge is too big so it tends to jam on the leading edge of the workpiece. Plus it doesn't have an skewed/angled blade. This design looks so much better.
it always makes my day when i see you have a new video. mesmerizing, beautiful, inspiring and kinda intimidating all at once. a true pleasure watching you work and i appreciated the explanation at the beginning and the shaving that you produced with the skew chisel around 13:30.......show off.
Incredible! I honestly didn't know it was possible to get end grain shavings like that (maybe that says a lot about my sharpening skills). And I love the fact that this plane is multi-functional. So many shooting board planes are one-trick ponies, but this one is quite versatile.
Two things required. Sharpen it very well. Secondly, get a skewed plane. The straight planes can do it, but the skewed planes can do it while not having to be as sharp as the straight planes. With a skewed plane you are sheering the end grain away. With a straight plane, you are brute forcing the material away.
Stavros thank you so much for this video. I have ben planning on making a shooting plane like this but I have been put off by how to make a skewed mouth. Now I know the basics. Again thanks Jim
Such a good video! I learned so much on how to use tools for different situations by example. I realize now I have more uses for a key-hole saw and a gouge.
Beautiful plane. I loved seeing the chiselling of the mortise and the chunks of beech coming off and then the shiny bed after you finished. Can you please do a video of making plane floats?
Always a pleasure to discover you have posted a new video. Out-standing workmanship; the plain looks beautiful and works like a dream. Thanks for sharing your skills and ideas with us. Best wishes and seasons greetings to you. :)
Love your work! This is a brilliant design and obviously works perfectly! I would love to see a matching shooting board, though Lee Valley has a great system you would love! I own a large number of their planes including the shooting plane! Yours is beautiful!
Spectacular work. Only recently I was looking at some shop-built, skewed shooting planes. I fear I'd need to get my hands on a float or two to get the job done well.
Congratulations for completing another excellent tool, that is also beautiful. Like previous comments, I too am very impressed with the screw countersink, set, smooth technique. Also fun to see tools from pervious projects in use, the planes, and the skew chisels. Your technique for carving out the bed & throat seem to be faster and more efficient than your earlier projects, but perhaps that is the editing? Regardless, well done! Look forward to seeing your next project. Happy new year from the USA.

The metal was genius... ends the scratching and adds mass for a smoother shear. Damit man I am on my feet, clapping over here.... Master of the plane!
Thanks a lot mate :)

It’s truly a pleasure to watch you work, Stavros. You are a master craftsman with incredible precision. The plane turned out absolutely beautiful.
Thanks a lot Russ :)

Thanks a lot! It is not the first video, but i still prefer to work not talk :)
Oh la la, Mr. Firm Hands! Making a mark with only a marker, no rule to guide! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
This oblique plane based on a steel angle works beautifully. I have not seen such a tool yet. Great creativity, congratulations 👌.
Wow. Just wow. The inland screws were amazing. That mouth tolerance was also amazing. Beautiful work as always.
Thank you!
WOW that plane is so perfect for shooting . Great design . Very valuable and great tool made by a hard working craftsman . Thanks of sharing Stavros .
When you see a maker use their fingers as a marking gauge, you know you are watching a master at work. Absolutely beautiful
Thank you Eric! I'm glad you like it :)
That is a good shooting board plane. Cut through that spalted maple like butter. Excellent job
Thanks for sharing
Thanks a lot David 👍
Spalted beech he claims.
beautiful work, astounding craftsmanship. I'll never look at my old wood block planes again without thinking of the craftsmen who made them. It is great that such skills have not been lost. well done & greetings from Tasmania.
Thank you Keith! Regards!
I'm not even 2 minutes into the video and I'm already amazed that you drew 2 straight parallel lines on the steel plates... Wow!!!!
Been in the trade for 44years, am impressed with your work.
Agreed. Craftsman.
Thanks a lot Jack!
Awesome hearing your voice. It completes your persona! Please don’t be shy and forget writing on the wood!
Thanks a lot! I still prefer to work, not talk :) Regards!
Every step of this appeals to my spirit.
I can imagine that I can smell the wood, and it smells great.
I finally understand art.
