The spiked board is for shredding flax to separate the fibers. A handful of flax was held in the hand and thrown like a whip onto the spikes then pulled to separate the fibers. I think that using it for hemp would be another use for the tool.
ive seen something like that board with spikes in it before when working in wool industry .could be a tool once used in combing stage of shorn fleece wool production. probably done with machinery now . i think its the process after scouring wool to clean and remove tallow .
I think this one was more for separating fibers in hemp or other plants. It is too fine and the spikes are too long for wool. I would think. It was probably built and used on the same farm
very cool. i have an adze exactly like the one they showed and though i couldnt make out the markings on theirs it looks just like the markings on mine. very cool ship building tool from the mid 1800s
was thinking the same thing - i have all of the sizes they showed and use the crap out of them, only way to set the blade is a tap at the back to loosen the set
at 10:44 It's not broken. It's called a caulker; in Dutch: breeuwhamer. It never had a handle, it was used together with a hammer. museumrotterdam.nl/collectie/item/48218
Many plane bodies were made of a fruit wood. Pear, apple or other type fruit wood. Your Jack plane appears to be pear but a closer examination i s needed to confirm.

Right! I've seen similar ones used in bygone days to comb out henequen (aka "sisal") fiber in the Yucatan area of Mexico.

+ICAM Ipswich I subbed thanks I didn't realize this was uploaded so recently il deffinately be keeping up with it.
at 16:50 In the country you're in it's called a hackle, (hemp)
I used to use the sycle in ky to cut weeds they stilll aale them in the area im from to use today
Sorry, they did not hit the back of the plane with a hammer to "drive it through" but to loosen the blade for adjustment

is the tool at 5:03 a ice saw ? or a peet cutter?
No, that's for cutting big round bales of hay.
I think it's a peet-cutter fashioned from two hay-cutting blades. The distance between the blades is about the same as a peet-brick's length.
How does this cutting of big round bales work?
is the board with spikes at 17:30 for shredding hemp to make rope?
It's a flax seperator.
