About one year ago my long time supporter Luboš lubos.sulc.cz send me an old jointer plane. This incomplete plane was find in one of castles in Czech Republic during roof restoration. As you can see in the video, the wole left side was cutted off.. Why? In Poland we say - even the most older highlanders don't know it :) I think the cutted piece was reused for something, maybe for guitar fingerboard. The most interesting thing in that find is the stamp - Augusto Bocohin / Bocchin - Buenos Aires Corrientes 38.. So how this plane came to central europe??? I got my theory but let me know what do you think about it. At first i was thinking it is made out of rosewood so i started looking for a piece of that kind of wood. Tomas from Portugal (tinyroomwoodworks on instagram) helped me and send nice piece of rosewood wich was used as missing side of the plane. After some suggestions from instagram i realized that the plane was made out of brown ebony / guayacan. Wooddatabase.com makes me sure. The rosewood piece i used look a litlle bit different but still looks very good. My mistake. This project was a kind of international cooperation - Tomy from Buenos Aires have the same plane and send me few photos. The tote drawing was based on them (with little changes), the kind/colour wood also. I matched an old laminated plane blade and get the plane back to work. Luboš, i hope it will be serve you for many years! Cheers!
My theory is as follows. Early in 20th century there was a lot of immigration from europe, i personally knew a polish man who was a fine artist in woodworking. At that time, argenyine industry was top class. Most probably the plane was sent to europe as a gift to a fellow woodworker who stayed there.
In Argentina that wood is also known as "quebracho colorado" and was used for making railroad sleepers and for the extraction of tannin. Up until the XX Century there were large forests of that wonderful wood, which were devastated by uncontrolled harvesting.
Corrientes 3877 is the address, Caballito neighborhood. Corrientes is one of the famous avenues in downtown Buenos Aires, often mentioned in Tango lyrics! Guayacan in Argentina is Caesalpinia paraguariensis (Libidivia is a synonym), Family Fabacea, however the same common name: guayacan is applied to other genera of the same group throughout South America and even some members of other families. I deeply admire your skill, the peacefulness of your videos and your dedication to make beautiful tools. All the best!
So now not only I will have a completely rebuilt jointer plane, but also I finally get to know the manufacturer and the wood type! That's incredible, outstanding job, Stavros! Thank you so much! It was so pleasure to watch, after all these years, to come back to life.
We were watching the video with friends from here in Argentina... and we are in doubt because at first we thought that the wood could be ALGARROBO, which is used in furniture and is very hard and heavy... however, it is a bit redder we discard the QUEBRACHO which is extremely hard and is also used in carving sculptures... We thought after much discussion AND WE GIVEN YOU THE REASON that it should be GUAYACAN Here we are happy that you recycle our history ABRAZOS DESDE ARGENTINA
Cette varlope vient de connaître une nouvelle jeunesse. Elle est de nouveau prête à faire du copeau. Merveilleuse restauration. Meilleures vœux pour la nouvelle année.
Out of every youtube video I have watched, this I believe, is the most amazing one I have ever seen. The original builder would have been so proud and honored to know that his work was recognized and saved from oblivion by another amazing craftsman even though separated by so much distance and time.
Love to see so many craftsmen allowing their children access to their shop during most functions. Yes - most kick them out when using table saws or routers/shapers, but it has to leave your children with lifetime, great memories.
I've seen most of your builds so far, and I don't want to watch them all too fast because I can't get enough of your work! Thank you for sharing this wonderful piece of history with us!
I love seeing and hearing your daughter in the videos. My children are grown and moved away and there are no grandchildren yet.... so, I guess I will appreciate the children of others.
Дети это последние игрушки. Внуки это первые дети. Так говорят у нас в России. Мы очень любим детей, а во внуках души не чаем. Что такое настоящая любовь понимаешь любя внуков. Children are the last toys. Grandchildren are the first children. That's what they say in Russia. We love children very much, and we love our grandchildren very much. What is true love you understand by loving grandchildren.
@@ГерманГерманов-н9щ in my life I have had five children but only two lived... sad for me, yes. But I coped by loving all of my friends children as much as my own. Seeing and hearing happy children makes my heart so warm.

I'm sorry that I neither read nor speak Russian but I want to thank you for the English translation. I to build planes, probably not to the level of Stavros, but I like to see what others are doing. I get a little bit jealous about the beech that he gets because nobody has it here... Pacific northwest of the United States... so I use other hardwood. Now to find more blade material that is even harder because this country is young and it didn't come here that much. Thanks for the reply and let's keep watching this man work.
Cheers From Buenos Aires!! I think this was a tool that was important to someone to take it in such a journey!!, but end up in the proper hands of a toolmaster!! Great Vid! Happy new year and stay safe! B
Hi Stavropol, I’m gla you consulted your chief designer at the start of the project & heeded her advice, because the plane turned out beautifully( I think the designer is due for a pay increase). Congratulations.
Your craftsmanship and creativity are so impressive and inspiring, but the best part for me is watching such a skilled craftsman work with tools that are so exceptionally tuned and sharpened, most of which you made yourself! Really enjoyable to watch!
Dear Stavros. I was blessed enough twenty three years ago to take home a pallet from work. I was working in a production cabinet shop and would get pallets of mahogany paneling from Indonesia. Most of the time the pallets were made rather nice mahogany but I got one that was very heavy. It was maccasor ebony. I have made many tools and tool parts from this material over the years. Very hard and rather difficult to work. I am building a bow saw with some at this time. It has been a long tedious process. Beautiful work and a wonderful restoration. Happy new year. This has been a great way to ring in a new year. Greetings from the high plains of Texas.
Luboš is a very lucky man! And I’m envious! Superb work, as always, Stavros. And may I say that your videos have become my most favorite to watch and enjoy. You’re quite the inspiration, my friend!
Yet again you have done a magnificent job in restoring this plane. Seeing it take off those wafer thin, wisps of perfect lengths of shavings at the end was a delight to see, and totally relaxing. I always learn something when watching your videos and you never fail to dissapoint in making an informative, well made, visually enjoyable production. Thank you.
Dear Stavros, welcome to the new year. Brilliant piece of work as usual. Magic the gossamer thin shavings on the end result. I got myself a toothing plane and your demonstration of its action shows exactly why it is so useful. All the best for 2022.
I really enjoy to see you work on your projects, are so inspirational for me, it is a pleasure to follow every creation you make. Thanks to share your knowledge.
Outstanding restoration, I really did not think it would come out that beautiful. You are without doubt a craftsman and artist with exceptional skills.
Lovely work, Stavros, and a great story. I hope the new owner likes it, and gives it a lot to do. I personally would have preferred the handle and wedge to not be in such a contrasting timber (I presume it's beech). I'm not a fan of contrasting timbers at all...but I'm not the customer!!
When u showed the stamp I was intrigued Stavros mate.. It's brilliant to watch u restore these items. They are works of art but this tyoe of work is being lost bro. I hope u have plenty of young ppl who want to come and learn the trade u have bcos it's defo worth learning bro. Ur an artist as well as a top craftman/Carpenter/Joiner... Ur work on here is phenomenal my friend.. Keep making these videos bcos I believe more and more ppl will find them and enjoy them for years to come.. Take care and best of luck bro
There was surely a roaring trade between Argentina, Chile, Brazil and those boys in the black uniforms with the red arm bands. Beautiful work, Stravros.
Wow! Very well done!! I especially like the fitting of that triangular piece in the throat of the plane. That was some slick work there! I really liked watching you work on shaping that handle. It looks very comfortable to use. I like the fact that the front portion of the "hand hole" wasn't chamfered as much as the part where you grip. That's very similar to many historical hand planes I've seen.
The address in buenos aires is currently an apartment building. I am excited to see that you have got a piece built in Argentina. 70 to 80 years ago ( may be the plane is that old) the zone was a residential area with small houses.
Wow, we call that a shooting plane in the UK used for 'shooting' long lengths like door edges, beautiful restoration as usual, top job, always look forward to your posts. Cześć.
@@StavrosGakos I'd love to show you the amazing stuff we are doing on a first class railway carriage, veneering book matched silky oak panels, padauk cills and radius corners, hidden joints etc etc.
I wish I could fast motion sand like that in real life. Lol. Wow. Amazing work. Amazing piece you have restored there. You are a true master, and a godsend to woodworking history. Well done as always brother.
i actually suspect the timber is quebracho rojo. its a really hard and dense timber used a lot in argentina for plane making. they are rare here in europe but ive seen some on sale on collectors sites. very nice find and restoration imho!
That's a really cool way to make lasagna noodles! Seriously, I love the way you take the old and make it new. Doesn't even look like the same plane. Beautiful!👍🏻
I think you should totally try making a spoke shave I think I speak for everyone when I say you could make an amazing spokeshave and we would all love to see it
beautiful piece ! "Guayacan" is a common name used for many woods. The name originally comes from Guaiacum officinale/Guaiacum sanctum (caribbean woods, on CITES), but there are also other species (Bulnesia genus for example, very oily and aromatic wood, very similar to Guaiacum, typical of the Chaco and Misiones area; in Cites now). They also call it "palosanto" (rosewood) locally, so confusions are common. Both genus (Guaiacum and Bulnesia) belong to the Zygophyllaceae family, they share the typical characteristics (very fragrant and oily woods) As you said, that's another "guayacan": Caesalpinia paraguariensis, typical of the same area (Paraguay, north of Argentina); closest to brazilwood, or "pernambuco" (Paubrasilia (ex Caesalpinia) echinata ) Woods from Bulnesia genus tend to react with a greenish hue (especially if exposed to UV light) ; the "original" guayacan from the Caribbean zone are slightly less odorous. I think Caesalpinia doesn't have any characteristic odour (?)
The result is just stunning, now I may give guayacan trees a different look (just kidding, they are protected in Chile). But I may try to make a jointer with espino, just beautiful stuff you find on these corners of the world

+1 for the guitar fingerboard explanation. "Could we make some fingerboard out of this?" was my first idea when I saw the plane...

Another great Sunday morning. Good way to start the year. Then get working on my own projects. Thanks Stavros!
Beautiful restoration. Good to see the original names left on the end to maintain the history.
Nice restoration! As usual, the real highlight of the video was the Cameo appearence of your precious little Girl.
I wish I was there watching you as an artist of what you do, beautiful and wonderful work my friend
