Very nice $175 ok a little up there. My take on tools. I will pay more if it is worth it. A professional recommendation alone is worth a lot. You have thousands of hours of professional work experience. Making a spot for it in your tool vest. Pretty much wins me over. Another note on this. You already found the ones that did make the cut and saved me tons of time and frustration. So, thanks and keep up the good work. We all appreciate it.
Absolutely agree. That plane is a gem. Anyone looking for a block plane - GET ONE OF THESE. You won't be sorry. Keep up the videos - your approach is really different, but refreshing.
I'm not a serious woodworker, but trying to overcome a bad tool just makes everything harder. My LN #62 Low-Angle Jack
is the best working hand plane I ever bought. So now I'm waiting on this little jewel.
I have a Lie Nielsen apron plane. I've had it for 15 or more years, it is fantastic and still works as well as the day I bought it.
Great video. I just moved into a new home where the doors are all messed up. I started working on them with a cheap plane that I picked up at Lowes, but this looks way better.
Can I use this plane on doors to fix them from sticking?
+Tom Crandall Yes!
Hey Samurai. Just wanted to let you know I finally ponied up and bought this Lie-Nielsen 60-1/2 low angle block plane. It's not cheap but it is SO worth it, after I saved up for it for a long time. I love this thing. I'm right there with you in your moment of block plane zen.
Lie Nielsen needs to pay you😊. I went back and forth between Veritas and Lie Nielsen and it was your unfiltered testimony to this plane that I purchased the LN. Thanks for pushing me over the edge.
I bought one after watching this video. It has been the most useful block plane I've ever owned. I can't imagine not having it. I get it now. Having watched this again, I think I will make a holster for it.
Bought another.
its awesome looking back at these older videos and seeing the previous projects you made in the background. and i never noticed that door behind you. it always amazes me when i see the sexy wood grain and coloration that you always use... i cant imagine what you spend in wood alone for some of your projects...
Totally agree with you. Lie Nilson makes some great planes, the low angle block, the one you have feels so good in the hand. I have had mine for about 6 months, very expensive but worth every dollar.
Just purchased it .. thanks Jessie 👍
I've got one. It's really nice. I use mine to trim large tennons. It doesn't have an adjustable mouth though, and you don't really want to camber the blade (kind of messes it up for joinery purposes). Therefore its a good idea to get a regular adjustable mouth block plane too.
Your joy about your tools, your love for your work and your sense of humor are freakin' outstanding! Love it!
One of the first block planes I bought. It comes out of the tool chest for just about every project.
What if you're choosing between this one and the LN standard 60 1/2 (non-rabbeting block plane)?
+riskmandel1 Like I said in the video, the rabbeting plane is my first choice.
Ive used some of that range of tools and to be honest in build quality and accuracy there's nothing else comes close.
Just bought one of these on the strength of your enthusiasm.
My grandfather's plane has seen me good for 10 years but it was never the best and would need so much work to get it right, I figured I'd use this next plane (which I'll pass on to my son) to make a cabinet for the old one.
And so the story goes on...
seu trabalho é uma arte parabéns
Hi, do you recommend owning the rabbit plane over of a regular low angle block plane? It seems to make sense if the rabbit plane can do everything the low angle block plane can plus rabbits.
I could not decide between this one or the Veritas low angle so I got both 😂😂
What plane do you suggest getting as my first plane i.e. just starting out at woodworking?
I love that plane as well. It's the best one I've ever used.
sick, did you really make the leather sheath for the plane and how many other Lie Neilson's do you have? What are you doing with those beams? I know 20 questions.....
agree with ya compleatly on the LN version of the Sargent 507, use mine a metric ton, not sure I'm as much into leather wearing as you :)
You're speaking truth here! Me and two other coworkers carry one in our aprons at all times. Worth every penny. Versatile and will last forever.
I love my block plane as well. It's awesome! Thank you Lie Nielsen
i have one, but i have never been able to get it to work right...wondering what im doing wrong. other than my sargent combination plane, this is the only plabe ive struggled with like this
Good info! Thanks for sharing the video man!
Could you do a video on the common planes you use
only ones I've found run a 1000 am I looking wrong and is there a specific number that would be best?
Hilarious! I want so much to be a serious woodworker but my sense of humor gets in the way. Gonna buy a Lie Nielsen plane, though!
Just ordered mines today!!
I find mine extremely difficult to adjust. When the blade tensioner is tight enough to keep the blade from moving while cutting, it then becomes impossible to use the depth adjustment knob. When the tensioner is loose enough to let me use the depth adjustment, the blade often moves that thousandth of an inch when I tighten the tensioner. There is a sweet spot where everything works, but it takes me a bunch of tries on every adjustment to find it.
Do you have any tips for getting around this?
Yea, that one seems to offer a lot of features. I never knew that anyone made a rabbeting block plan. While Lie-Nielson tools are not cheap, they are of good quality and a rabbeting block place replaces two tools making it a good buy. Thanx. And, get well soon. You might want to ease up a bit on the cold medicine. ;-)
just bought one right where they make them here in Maine! really nice show room too, simple yet effective
so where we can buy one maybe you can put link up and make our day. Thanks
Bought one. And yes. Amazing piece of art. Almost scared to use it as a tool because of how superb the quality is. Honed in the blade on my 8k water stone and forget about it. Shavings to die for!
Do you not have this linked up in your store? I was looking for it, but couldn't find it.
I just bought one , may ask what angle do u sharp it ?? 🤔
i love his enthusiasm.i used to be that way.
I have one and can not get it adjusted to achieve a shaving. The blade does not extend below the sole.
Jesse, have you thought of adding the Howard adjuster to that beautiful plane (I'm also an owner of one LN rabbit plane)
Love your vids...and your humor. Keep 'em coming, eh.
Question for you Samurai. You are recommending the rabbet block plane over the standard block plane. Do you find the lack of an adjustable mouth inconvenient?
+t bone Yes I recommend it over a standard block plane. The adjustable mouth won't stop tear out when you are using a low angle plane at least not from my experience. The versatility of the rabbeting plane is just far to great to pass up.
Where can I get I? Didn't find it on Amazon
My 100 year old Stanley block plane gets the job done..
My Bedrock 602 is one of my favorite small planes as is the Stanley No4
The only thing more handy than a plane is a Colt 45 & I have a nice holster for it too..
Hi what's the model number on your hand planer
what is the samurai connection. i dont get it??
Do you think this could serve well as a shoulder plane?
+leif52pickup It's a wider cut than most shoulder planes so you have to push a little harder but it is a shoulder plane.
Love your vids dude. I think you and I are brothers from another mother 😂😂😂
It better be freak'n great. I ordered it based off your instructions to do so. Considering my $30 homedepot special blew apart in a mere few hours. Basically $300 Canadian pesos.
Totally agree... I treat mine like she’s one of my own shop dogs. Feed, walk, care for, and ensure it has a special place to lay it’s head.
probably the funniest video of yours i have see yet but haven't watched them all yet...
I'm sold! just ordered one
Like the Plane, love the video, but one question ......
Shouldn't "The Samurai (i.e. Japanese) Carpenter" be 'pulling' a plane, instead of 'pushing' it?
+Hutch5321 Indeed. I have plenty of those planes as well.
I am sold on pulling saws ever since I questioned the safety of push saws in high school. What design feature of japanese planes makes them more suitable to be pulled rather than pushed? Just the lower friction base grind? I tend to pull my steel block planes as well so I am wondering if a combination design couldnt be a thing.
Hutch5321 I'm a Welsh carpenter... cam I not use my Japanese saws? oops please don't tell on me, I'm obviously living a lie.
ApexSun I don't know anything about woodworking , but what would be the danger of a hand pushed(Western) saw VS a hand pulled (japanese) saw ?
My sister lives less than a mile from the L-N headquarters and showroom in Maine. I stay with her for holidays and my truck always wants to dive into the lot, quite a magnetic field being generated. I have yet to go in though, I'm scared of never being fulfilled again. So much shiny, so much sharp.
No doubt an excellent plane. I think they're based off of the old Stanley line from the old days (not the new stuff). Have you tried Veritas from Lee Valley?
I'm fairly new to woodworking and I need a rabbeting plane. I see the Stanley for $75 on amazon, the Veritas for $155 from Lee Valley, and the Lie-Nielsen for $175. Serious question as I have not used either: In what ways is this plane better than the Stanley Bailey 60 1/2? Why so much difference in price? Are they *that nice*?
My understanding is Stanley Sweetheart is pretty good stuff. Same A2 tool steel for the iron, just looks like a little less time spent on aesthetics (which does have value, don't get me wrong). I appreciate you're not recommending some boutique maker's damascus steel version for $500, but still, $100 is no joke for a n00b.
Let me know if there's something I'm missing here!
I agree with your assessment of the plane, and I was hoping you could settle an argument. Which is a better chick magnet: a BMW, or a Lie Nielsen low-angle block plane?
+Mark Abbott Sure you can buy a BMW and socre a 9 but deep down, you'll know, somewhere, someone is swimming in 10's with a Lie Nielsen low-angle block plane strapped on his belt.
okay...best of your uploads XD
I've been watching your videos for a while now. I grew up around woodworking as my family owns a millwork company. Your videos have made me want to get my hands dirty and get into some real woodworking. Anyway, I'm confused as to which exact model this plane is. lie nielsen site has a "rabbet block plane w/nicker" and a "no. 60-1/2 adjustable mouth block plane" which one is it?
It's the rabbet block plane w/nicker
I see yours doesn't have the nicker. Any thoughts on that feature?
I've slowly been transitioning from caveman carpentry to Cajun craftsman for a couple decades now and I'm just starting to get see the need for more than one general purpose block plane. I'm also learning, like most hand tools, there is an art to adjustment, proper use and maintenance. I've also found the older hand tools, well-maintained and refurbished have better quality blades, parts and lasting ability.
I like my trim/boat plane. I bought it to replace an ancient one someone stole from me. Their planes are well worth the cost.
Do you do your own finishing work, I noticed a cabinet in the back full of what looks like paint cans?
You may want to install a ventilation fan, I think the fumes are getting to you,?
Cool to see which block plane to go for and save on time, money and loads of frustrations... but you said that this plane had the A2 blade on it... so were would I get an equivalent Veritas PM-V11 blade for the Lie-Nielson here in Canada? It would be awesome to have your opinion on what planes and what brands to get for a beginner! Oh yeah, I'd have to agree with many who commented below that the audio is awful and needs to be cleaned up but since your acquirement of a Lapel Mic your videos are that much pleasant to listen to.
love your sense of humor, haha if we wanna have a bette life get this block plane xD
Just got one for my birthday!
Hey man, are you OK? Yes I’m going to order one now! 👍👍👍😎🇨🇱
this should be named: "funniest woodworker ever born" :-)
@ 5:34 - earned every penny brother!
How can i buy
Yup, that is the best block plane for most needs.
Do you have draw competitions with your apprentice with that fancy hostler? Funny awesome vid! I do hope to get a block plane in my future..maybe it will be the Lie Nielsen or an old Stanely.
The Drunk Samurai Carpenter
I've just been looking at Jay Bates 2 who has a beautiful block plane by Tony Rouleau you might be interested in.
I like the baseboard - drywall example. I kinda ruined my drywall doing exactly that without this block plane. So I can relate :-D
I want one!
I would say get a room! but seriously I have to get me one of these!
Well I'm sold
I came here to find out which was the best and why and you creeped me out to the point where I don't even want one now. That said, can I get the link to it lol.
Well, You were totally right!
Are you going to do woodworking with it or bang it?!
Lol. Look how he strokes the thing at 1:31. Like he's trying to get it hard or something. Creepy.
Block planes need love too.
wood working, working with his wood, banging, it's all the same bro
the rabbeting block plane is the one you should get AFTER you get 60-1/2 low angle block plane..
+MrMeanderthal Can I ask you why?
Thanks. Now I have yet another plane to purchase. 30+ just still isn't enough.
how drunk were you
+RG1979OR I know it's a scary thought but I wasn't drunk....I'm just that crazy.
I want you to know I Love your work. I do question your sobriety on that review. but your work philosophy, and product is just fantastic, thank you for sharing it. I really enjoy it.
Totally understand. He doesn't look drunk to me. Just someone who really loves that tool. Doesn't everybody have a tool they like to caress? :-) Maybe it's something about planes but I love my Bailey #5 like this when it spits 6 uninterrupted feet of gossamer ribbon out of it's 100 year old throat. Unfortunately it's too big to put in a holster but I love it so. ;-) Gotta have one of these though!
He was stoned, not drunk. High on Lie Nielson obviously. I wish he hadn't been so wishy-washy about the Lie Nielson Low Angle Rabbet Block Plane though. It kind of sounded like he couldn't decide whether to recommend it or the Kobalt Block Plane.
Samurai Sake! :) Where can I get some?
I get drunk simply being among Lie- Nielsen awesome hand tools.
"like sex on a belt"
Lie Nielsen should hire you to their advertising team.
I totally bought one after laughing my ass off watching this video! xD
very very good
because wearing your workshop in your clothing makes you prepared for ANYTHING
Young man I salute you for your level of craftsmanship and quality of workmanship and product that you produce. BRAVO Question: Why the name Samurai Carpenter. is it because you are also a marshal artist?
Love your videos man! I would suggest you bump your audio though. Sometimes It's really difficult to hear what you are saying.
I've brought some Japanese saws now the Gokucho ones :P! Some chisels which aren't Japanese chisels but some Japanese ones are on my shopping list. I need to get a good plane for sure though, all I have at the moment is a crappy b&q one..
How do you sharpen the blade? And your chisels while we're at it ;)
ok,ok, ordering it now. Lie Neilsen you should send this guy something nice.. seriously
sorry,im kinda confused, are you saying get a craftsman one?
ironlionkalo Yeah, if its more than fifty years old and you find it at a yard sale for fifty cents. Those are the good ones. Errr, I mean better.
which shavings do you smoke)
that's easy. The same shaveings as smoked kippers wahoo.
i did it, i bought one.... just now. love the channel btw!!
+Dale Pettit Nice! now you will wonder how you ever got along without it.
Guess what arrived today!!!
You should get in touch with Ben Crow from CrimsonCustomGuitars .... he's also a plane addict ;-).
Funny to see the evolution of the samurai’s videos. The more recent ones are great, the older ones (like this one) are unwatchable.
The mans a tool!!! Lol A funny man indeed lol
