Flatten and Thickness a Rough Cut Board using just Hand Tools
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 вер 2024
- In this video we demonstrate the step by step process to properly flatten and then thickness a rough sawn board using just a Jack Plane. You could use multiple different planes if you had them, but if you are just starting out. Purchase a good Jack Plane. Ours is from Veritas. It is called a Jack plane because it can be used for many different hand planing operations.

Frugal Frau strives to live like the woman of Proverbs 31: 10-31
10
[a]A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.
11
Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value.
12
She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.
13
She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands.
14
She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar.
15
She gets up while it is still night; she provides food for her family and portions for her female servants.
16
She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17
She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.
18
She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night.
19
In her hand she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
20
She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy.
21
When it snows, she has no fear for her household; for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
22
She makes coverings for her bed; she is clothed in fine linen and purple.
23
Her husband is respected at the city gate, where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.
24
She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes.
25
She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.
26
She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
27
She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28
Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her:
29
“Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.”
30
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
31
Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.
I really enjoy seeing the use of hand tools!
I thought I was gonna see Sukey do the planing; as a 74yo female woodworker, I need more older women to emulate.
I have done some… I am currently battling a pinched nerve in my back… hopefully I can get that resolved… until then…light duty for me…. I am no Spring Chicken either.. 68 soon…
I’m the dude in the video. Think of it this why. She is the brains of the outfit and I’m generally the brawn. That said I’ve been doing this since I was a wee lad (about 5) so it’s not about brute strength. It’s about having the correct size tools for your frame and strength. For planing she uses a small smoother sized plane due to its lighter weight. As a child I did the same thing. It gets the job done it’s just a little slower but it does develop a good eye in the process. Hope this helps.
Exactly. I'm 62 and have been woodworking since the age of 10, and I enjoy woodworking videos in my downtime, but there are few older woman making videos. When this came up as a suggestion, I was interested until it started to progress - No thank you.
Nice fundamentals video! Appreciate it!
Nothing beats the sound of a properly sharp blade gliding through the wood making gossamer thin shavings...LOVE it!
2:16 how I love that sound!
I have been enjoying hand tool work. No dust, noise, space hogging power tools and good old exercise. The one item I thought I would see but didn't was winding sticks, I use mine all the time. Thank you for the video.
We have winding sticks, but on something this small we don’t bother with them. Keep up the hand tool work… and yes, good old exercise good for the body and spirit too. Mainly we like hand tools for the dust reduction and also space limitations. Besides there is just something very satisfying of doing it all by hand with hand tools too.
Nice instructional!
Thank you for sharing. You have a new subscriber. God bless.
Thank you for subscribing. God Bless You Too!
Great timing in your video! I was just wondering how he was holding the board in place sideways when you pointed out the wedges. I shoulda known!
Thank you for sharing
You are very welcome.
I do things in a similar way (there's also an old Chris Schwarz video that explains the technique).
I love the natural look from planing by hand! That being said, I also wish I had some power tools for jointing and thicknesing, it's a bit of a tedious slog by hand...
I'm the dude in the video. I learned this method as an apprentice so after many decades is kinda second nature, practice does make it go a lot faster.
I typically also use a scrub & a smoother as well this does speed up the process.
I used a single plane to show it can be done without the need for a pile of expensive tools.
In my early years I only had a coffin plane that I used for all bench planing I even used it for jointing, it can be done and it really develops ones eye.
A scrub plane is a huge labor saver. You can make one from an old smoother or Jack if you don't want to spend a bunch of money on a purpose built one. I have an old Buck Bros plane that I use away from the shop for said purpose.
😎
Yes it is a bit tedious and of course some wood species are easier to plane than others. We like being able to not have to use any power tools… good practice and who knows it might be necessary to rely solely on hand tools in the future…
@@thomaslthomas1506 I have a scrub actually! I'm in Europe, where they never stopped making wooden planes. Fairly new scrub planes aren't too expensive and old ones are very cheap (5$) and easy to find.
@@BakerVS Excellent, here in Merica good used tools are getting harder to find. Good new tools are expensive. I used wood planes almost exclusively up until we moved to New England. Several of my planes were damaged in the move which precipitated the move to Veritas planes. I have enjoyed them though and have planed 10 of thousands of board feet with them. So a good investment.
Call me young but I’m staying with my power tools,
Can’t fault the thicknesser,
Love the table saw,
Love the band saw,
Love the table sander,
I really love my lathe
I find these tools more precise,
By all means enjoy them. But please use a mask. Or you'll end up like me with sinus trouble & horrible allergies late in life.
I want to "get" the attraction to this but just can't.
What angle blade is he using on the JACK plane?
On this one he used a low angle 27 degree blade. On big tear outs he uses the 50 degree or high angle blade….
Why is the stock wobbling so much?
The wood wasn’t clamped down that well, and our bench is long over due for a flattening also.
Just curious if you even have any power tools, either hand held or stationary? I’m asking not because I care how you go about what you like!, just if in your shop do you find some handy at times.
I appreciate your delivery shown here-one does and one explains. A joint venture. Good luck going forward
Hi I'm the dude in the video.
Thank you for the compliment.
We do have some power tools. Both portable & stationary.
We keep them in the building where we have our sawmill.
They are used for breaking down rough lumber and culling waste mostly.
I have severe allergies, so using them for any quantity involves putting on a mask/coveralls.
At least the sawmill is a wet process and not nearly so dusty.
Outside of the handy things like impact drills and other cordless goodies we are not replacing our large power tools and are really reverting to use just hand tools now.
@@thomaslthomas1506 I used to looks at things like 100 year old furniture or windows and wonder "how did they make that without modern tools" now I know and can build them. It soothes my soul.
