A valuable and well thought out series… I know I’ll be watching them again some day to absorb things I missed. I have been inspired to bring a more detailed eye to my humbler small selection of iron planes, although very much enjoyed. The similarities and differences is fascinating, but the true pleasure is in the using! Thank you again Chester, all your videos carry a generous gift of sharing.
I just completed the series and found your information very helpful. I’m trying to build up my plane collection and actually use them as users. I’m retired and I don’t have the budget to hastily purchase a plane only to find out that it doesn’t fit my needs. Your videos have helped me with narrowing down the planes I need or want. Thank you for taking the time to do all of this research and look forward more Tool comparisons including backgrounds/history.
Your videos are great, Chester! There are tons of people out there looking for nomenclature errors. Don't let these folks get under your skin, even a little bit. Putting together these videos you share requires a lot of effort and is intended to provide useful information. Keep up the great work!😀
I have always had a shop in the garage and I Guess I am a hybrid woodpecker but I love old tools and since I retired K added a lot of hand tools and enjoy your videos and have added some that I was on your channel and I always enjoy the videos I have built a nice collection of tool over the years but I do love seeing your collection thanks for the videos
Thank you for your comments. I am gratified that people appreciate the videos. I am also a hybrid woodworker and can appreciate anything that gets the job done.
Thank you for the videos, good show! I graduated from a 2 year Vo-Tech Cabinet-making school in 1973, after my 4 year military duty, including a year in the SE Asian war. The guys that are so "nuts" about the "exact" name and use of these planes are the collectors that have probably never used them in a real wood shop!!
I have a 248. Great tool for cutting grooves for boxes if you're not concerned about the hole you'll have to fill later. Much prefer it to breaking out the router; nice lightweight little plane
Since the holes for the rods go all the way through the body the rods can be inserted in either side. I tested it to make sure the threading went all the way through. The reason for the difference in the depth stop shape in the out board side is so when used in the fence side it doesn’t get in the way of the fence’s movement. That why it’s not like the 77 depth stop. I’m not sure what you mean by offside work. Thanks for your attention.

Thank you, kindly. I really appreciate the comment and that my videos may be helpful.
Hello, it's a great channel, thanks for the information about Stanley and Record Hobel. Greetings from Germany
Martin Höft
Please don't stop making these videos. You pass along good information. Some people can't help themselves.
Bob
I appreciate that greatly.
You've done a fine job with this series and I'm very grateful, I've learned a lot! Thanks for all your hard work!
Ignore the trolls, Chester. Your efforts are much appreciated
🙏🏼
Really great video and series! Please keep them coming!
Thank you, I will.
Good informative video, I like the Record 778, it has a better depth adjuster than the Stanley 78, and 2 arms for the fence which seems much stronger.

Agreed. 👍🏼
We are learning along the way and together.
Well done Chet. 👍👍
Thank you very much. I appreciate that.
Does the fence switch sides on that plane with two depth stops? Maybe it was for offside work?
Since the holes for the rods go all the way through the body the rods can be inserted in either side. I tested it to make sure the threading went all the way through.

Thanks for your attention.
Perhaps a video on the 144 series ?

Have not seen you do a preview on a Stanley 10 1/2 or a Stanley no#10 rabbet planes
A good idea. Thanks.
Welcome to the human race. Were we make mistakes and we’re not perfect. Just don’t let the arm chair trolls get their way. Great job on the videos.
