Beautiful planes. Those wispy shavings are fantastic. I like the ebony tote things that fit the hand so well. I'm building a wooden plane myself right now, so this is inspirational.
@joeliwest I use equal parts of Boiled Linseed oil, pure Tung oil, varnish and turpentine for the first coat only. After that I just use the Linseed, Tung and varnish mix. Rub out final finish with equal part of Mineral oil and Turpentine using 1500 grit paper. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
A lot of Krenov, that goes without saying. The only thing I did different is I tune it up like a Japanese plane. Hollow out part of the sole, which results in better shavings. The sound track is from The editing software package "Final cut pro" It's called "Awareness.caf" does not give the artist's name.
Hi William - Just found your video and was knocked out by the quality of your work. It has confirmed that I want to make some planes now I have retired. I would love to know where you get your blades or if you make them yourself. I live in England and things like that are not so easy to find. If you do make your own, perhaps that's another video??? Love the style and in particular the rear tote. I have extensive stocks of exotics left over from my guitar making days so they will come in well for plane making. I'd love to take one of your classes but the distance is just a bit far. Keep up the amazing work - Best wishes and Happy New Year!!! - Dave
Beautiful stunning and those mallets are intriguing also,,,,, when you epoxy the brass face plate to the choice of wood do they ever come off from use ??
I have been watching all you videos over and over for the past few years... You're second to none. I'm interested in the plans for these hand planes. Might I get them through you at a price?
Yes, it's an Ebony mallet head. It's not practical but it sure looks good. In class I recommend Bubinga head with hickory handle which looks great also.
To use a plane you make yourself is the ultimate woodworking experience. Yes, very fulfilling. Thanks.

Wooden planes are very addicting, you're going to love it. Best to you on your build.
Thanks for a fantastic film that's given a further boost of inspiration along the long path to tool perfection.

Get his DVD as well. Improved my plane making skills enough that I have been able to sell several of mine.
Really like the glue on rear tote. Great job
Thanks! I wish I can take credit, but the students were incredible!
Got a book coming from David Finick on making Kernov planes. I only hope that I can make plane half as fine as these.
Thanks William - Much appreciated. - Regards Dave
Fantastic! I wish I lived nearby so I could be a student!

How do you mean”hollow out part of the sole? Thanks.
Is this only for the chosen fews to know how to? It is beautiful!!
The music is part of royalty free music package that came with my Mac. "Soundtrack Pro" It doesn't give title or composer. Sorry.
Oh my... sublime.
yep, lots of Krenov there... gorgeous shavings! curious, what's the music track?

Awesome. Really Awesome.
Superb work!

We also added brass dowel to secure the plate. For regular adjustment use, there should be no issues with the face plate coming off.
Nice, thx.
What finish do you put on the planes in the end? Is that linseed oiled sanded and waxed?
Really nice Planes
que maderas utilizas,eres un artista picha

WHat is the music for this...its awesome!
Very fulfilling to use, I'm sure~!
Fantastic craftsmanship and superb performance.
Where do you get the blades from, they look like Kanna blades to me.
The blades are from Ron Hock at Hocktools dot com.
Thanks William, I like everything about you.
We're located in Anaheim, CA

the music is, from the window of the lunar module, by music spa
William Ng's the instructor
where do these classes take place
William Ng.Hi, Congratulations. The plains you make are for sale? How much do they cost ? thank you
We have a class making them. We don't sell them. Sorry
How about a little acknowledgment to James Krenov?
Who was the instructor for this class?
Hi William,
How can I get my hands on one of those mallets? Do you have plans for purchase or the mallets themselves?
We don't sell them, too labor intensive and I don't have plans. Never thought about putting plans together, maybe in the future. Thanks.
Was that an Ebony mallet head??!!
Yes, it's an Ebony mallet head. It's not practical but it sure looks good. In class I recommend Bubinga head with hickory handle which looks great also.

It's Beautiful!
Seems like it’s not possible to get such shavings from a English Plane....
And when I come home cold and tired, Its good to make some shavings by the fire.
Woodprix is nice for that.
