I love to make my own tools and this video has a lot of information thanks for all the tips and shapes, I'm definitely going to use those in my next projects :))
Very cool project. I am restoring an old wood jointer plane that is missing it's tote. It will be similar in shape to yours with the addition of a foot to bed in to the body, I have a pattern made but need a piece of suitable wood. In Arkansas our state tree is the stump but the rest of the wood becomes firewood! You gave me ideas on shaping it, thanks for that. I may get arrested for stealing my neighbor's firewood. Maybe if I wear my WW sticker they will go easier on me!
I always love videos with someone making their own tools. I love being able to make something that will not only look pretty, but be useful. I always die a little inside from the awful dad jokes at the end of the videos. I've watched enough of James' videos though that it just wouldn't feel right if he didn't have one on deck.
Looking great! I'm working on designing and building my own infill style block planes, but I'm cheating with the corded devils. I can only imagine the extra level of work with doing it all by hand. Great, inspirational work as always
I been waiting for your next video on this plane. I bought a steel sided kit off o Ebay ($248 dollars plus shipping). I had some issues with it but worked through them . The first thing I noticed was the blade was not ground square, out by more than a eight of an inch, it was ground 25 degrees instead of 30 degrees, the back was hollowed out so bad that I finally gave up and used the David Charlesworth trick to get it flat. All that said the steel was very hard and should hold a good edge. It took me a good bit of work to get the chipbreaker flat enough so it wouldn't jam. Question did you shorten the cap iron screw. I also noticed you didn't cut out for the😮 chipbreaker nut. Does yours not have a chipbreaker?
Beautiful work! Quick question about the countersink bit you used on your brass. Where could I source one? I've been looking for a while! What are they called when intended to be used in a brace?
Only 30-40 hours left? That's nothing! Ok, that's one reason I would rather buy a good-condition vintage than make one. They're awesome, but I just don't enjoy making tools or tool parts as I enjoy using them. But I'm certain this will look and work fantastic when you're done!
You need to get this channel organized. You have produced much great content but its just too much. I'm not going to subscribe, I'm not going to even visit this site, because its such a time waster. Partly because the vids are often very interesting, for sure. But I will no longer spend up to an hour scrolling down thru the shows. Get organized-put similar content in a playlist or something, so that I can spend not more than 5 minutes focusing on those vids that pertain to what I'm looking for. And retain one playlist for the guy that has nothing better to do than scroll for hours on end. Problem, at least for me, solved. You have playlists with 45 videos on sharpening. 45? If those playlists are so time consuming, throw some stuff out.
I have a very large collection of playlists that I sort everything into. Most videos end up in two plus playlists. But most people just end up searching for a particular topic they're interested in.
Fun! On to the final episode of this project
Apparently you are having fun on this project. Thank you for sharing.🙂🙂

Getting to be a lovely piece of art.
Looking good, James!!
Thanks for the hang out time
That's really starting to look like a plane. Excellent work!

Really beautiful work, James! Amazing looking plane!!! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Commenting above those who have already commented below. BTW - Nice work so far, will be nice to see how that looks when you're done.
Thanks for sharing, Great tips!
Already looks beautiful, man. Great work, as always!
A No 67 spokeshave with round bottom can be good for shaping the inside curves.
Looking good James!
Yup plane making is fun and that is coming along great! Nice going
excelente trabajo felicidades me gustaria tener aqui donde vivo los materiales para hacer uno igual a ese saludos
Thanks James
I'm excited for this project.
That's a beautiful plane!
Thanks for sharing.
You are making me want to try one myself.
Your video filled me in
Cool project!
I am commenting. Looks amazing!
Looking good
do jointer-sized infill planes exist? that could be fun to make...
i have seen a couple, but they end up being around 20+ lb so most people that use to use infills just used a wooden body for that work.

I am using a ZenWu iron for this one so the chip breaker nut is flush. I will be shortening the screw once the lever cap is mounted.
In Phil we trust
Beautiful work! Quick question about the countersink bit you used on your brass. Where could I source one? I've been looking for a while! What are they called when intended to be used in a brace?
I don't know of any new ones. All of mine are antique. I usually buy them in a batch of other brace bits.
What is that chisel being used in the mortising? With the japanese(?) characters on it
That is from Zen Wu
Yes!
Only 30-40 hours left? That's nothing!

Only another 30-40hr work left. 😮
Aloha 🤙
Nice!
Safe edged files? Where from please.
Most file makers offer them. Most of mine are antique

James Bay. He sells on eBay.
Cool
