  • Welcome to my Hand Plane Foundations course. In this course I'm going to introduce the different types of bench planes and discuss their setup and use, focusing on the planes you’ll need most as a new hand tool woodworker. I’ll cover sharpening the iron, setting up the cap iron, and troubleshooting and tuning the tool up to perform at its best. I’ll finish up by building a modern two tone cutting board from some beautiful North American hardwoods, completely by hand.

    I learned Traditional Hand Woodworking just in USA. I keep doing it thanks to videos like this one. Thanks from TUSCANY Italy

    Thank you for the 3D rendered images that demonstrate what is going on.

    I have watched quite a few videos about hand planing techniques but had never seen such a detailed explanation of what is actually going on when you apply pressure to the front or back of the plane. The illustration of how the blade acts as a fulcrum point was an Aha moment. Thank you Bob!

    Now that's an amazing insight that I've never seen explained anywhere else before. I will be remembering this and showing it forever.

    Bob , I've enjoyed your videos for the last few years. This one should be viewed by all hand tool users. Even though we may have the basic understanding, this explanation is so clear and easy to follow it should help many to improve their skills. Thank you

    You did it again Bob! Another invaluable insight I have not seen anywhere else. Planing makes more sense now. Thanks.

    This should be the first video after learning parts of the plane and how to set them up. It took me forever to finally figure out why my boards were always thinner at one end. Techniques for using bench planes is surprisingly hard to find. Instead, the vast majority of instructional content centers around their restoration, sharpening, fettling, etc. You'll even encounter far more content on how to use specialty planes, such as routers and plough planes, than bench planes.

    This is why a plane will cut a "hump" into an edge if we continuously jus plane without checking, or if we use the wrong pressure in the wrong places. This video is very beneficial for beginners; ive never seen anyone explain it the way you do....... I will be referring to this video should someone ask me about planing technique :)
    Well done Bob!!

    This was eye opening for me. I've only begun using hand planes for the last 3 weeks and didn't understand why the plane was getting caught right at the end of my full stroke. I was keeping pressure on the front throughout. Thanks for this piece of advice.
    I was told using the electric jointer machine to keep pressure on the front of the board to stop Snipe from happening as u come to the finish of the run across the blade so I guess I was thinking similarly with hand tools.
    I'm glad I caught this video.
    I have an issue sometimes when I plaining the edge of a board where it is planed uneven. Is there a good technique to stop this from happening so I get a flat surface every time? It happens to me a fair bit but not always. Maybe I'm not concentrating enough sometimes? I don't know why it happens and other times it doesn't??
    Glad I found ur video though my friend. Very informative. Thanks very much
