    I am nowhere near as good as you on a plane, so sometimes i use my marking gauge to cut a line on both sides of the edge, then plane to both lines. Amazingly it makes the process pretty simple and very accurate.

    I love it when your videos actually validate something that I managed to learn on my own. It makes me feel pretty clever. I use my 60-1/2, throat closed down narrow, sharp blade (always) and count the strokes. I considered buying a chamfering plane but really this technique is pretty easy so the money can go elsewhere. That's really important in these times.
    Thanks as always, Rob & co. It makes my day to get that notification of a new Cosman video. {8^)

    I use a slightly different method. I start from the long grain, then do the width across the grain, so that exiting the plane on a chamfered edge makes it easier to avoid tear out. Then as last I do the shortest edge, the last fibers are well supported by all meeting chamfers. I also put my block plane inclining the blade angle of attack like you do. Comments?

    More years ago than I care to share, when I worked making store fixtures we'd break the edges of plastic laminate cabinetry with a sanding block made from a piece of wood with rounded ends covered tightly with a sanding belt. It was easy to make the transition to using a block plane. I never counted strokes; I'd just run the plane over the edge and feel it with my hand to see if it was eased enough.

    Great tip tutorial, Rob~! I always find myself going to my router for a round over bit when finishing a project, but seeing this I'm going to change things up. Time to put my block plane to work. I like the look of that chamfered edge as well. Thanks much~!!

    I've learned to master the short and sides (oh, the pleasure of working with a sharp blade!), but those short edges are a challenge with such little reference surface.

    Sharp edges can cut too. I’ve busted a knuckle before. Learned easing edges in carpenter school years ago. Small detail but it elevates the work.

  • @מעייןהמלבלבתחייםםםם

    Thanks for sharing!!! Practice, practice....and practice and it will be rewarding!!! Using the block plane teach me a lot especially on the wood fiber direction!!

  • @patjackson1657
    @patjackson1657 Рік тому

    Thanks Rob. I bought a kit from Lee Valley and made a plane just over 7" long. It feels better in my hand than a block plane. I will try it on chamfers for a small shelving project.

  • @leeriley9123
    @leeriley9123 Рік тому

    Another great post Rob, quick question, chamfering edges pre or post assembly of a piece? Is that depending on the project and where the piece of wood goes in that project. Do you have a preference?

    Learned the hard way early on to always add something to break the edges, I was carrying in a pieces I just finished let it slide out of my hands onto the table then was treated will a little blood. It wasn't anything to serious just enough to be annoying for the week, now I always make sure to do something to the edges.

  • @emersonassis7154
    @emersonassis7154 Рік тому

    Wow...these 45⁰ angle create a charming edge...for your experience this size of block plane works perfectly...do you believe a small plane like Stanley 100 or 102 can do a decent job ?
    By the way my hometown now is 98⁰F...minimum during winter is 58⁰F...take care

    • @RobCosmanWoodworking
      @RobCosmanWoodworking  Рік тому

      Oh yes, and do a great job. I use my small squirrel tail plane instead of my block many times, but a block plane is easier for beginners to get and hold the angle. The small ones ate much harder

    • @CarlYota
      @CarlYota Рік тому

      I just got a cheap 102 for this purpose because it has an 01 blade. Out of the box it’s not very sharp but still worked well enough. Should be great once I tune up the blade properly.
      I could see it being difficult to hold the angle on a long piece but for smaller stuff it should work great.

    For the people who feel they need to lift the plane up after each stroke, do they also feel like they need to lift the saw up after each cut?

    • @RobCosmanWoodworking
      @RobCosmanWoodworking  Рік тому

      I think that is a great point

    • @rickstewart6047
      @rickstewart6047 Рік тому

      Lifting slightly on the back stroke while sawing keeps saw dust from obscuring the line. I picked that tip up from the Shwarz. Try it, it works great. I get your point though not going to 'dull the blade'

  • @DragonTalkShow
    @DragonTalkShow Рік тому

    My one nagging question has been how you get nice chamfers on a box or other application where two pieces meet in an inside corner. Obviously the block plane can’t get that far-do you just get as far as you can with the block plane and then finish up with a chisel?

    • @tylersmith9868
      @tylersmith9868 Рік тому

      Chamfer before assembly in that case

    • @RobCosmanWoodworking
      @RobCosmanWoodworking  Рік тому

      Tyler has the answer, chamfer before assembly. But if thats not possible or you forgot then use a small plane (squirrel tail for example) and finish the cut with a chisel or a chisel plane

    I dont have a problem buy the best tools for the job i buy 300 dollar timberframing chisels i use they to make a living but i hyst think paying close to 500 dollars with tax canadian is to much fof the average person or someone thinking about starting wood working there's so many other tools you will need also .like that your helping the vets thats awesome struggling mentally is a really problem .

    Nobody will look at a champfer but everybody will recognize torn grain.
    Sand paper will get the job done everytime perfect,why use a plane?

    • @RobCosmanWoodworking
      @RobCosmanWoodworking  Рік тому +2

      As I said and showed in the video sandpaper is an option, but if you want a chamfer with a defined edge then using a plane is the way to achieve that look

    • @ricos1497
      @ricos1497 Рік тому

      I find it helps to do the chamfering at around the same time as you plane the board for the final time. That way you've got a good memory of grain direction and any changes. Given that your performing 6-7 passes to create the chamfer, you'll likely experience tear out in the first couple and change direction without problem. Remember, the plane is taking quite a small cut.

    • @friedgizzard
      @friedgizzard Рік тому

      I will always chamfer an edge before picking up sand paper. The result to me is night and day.

    Rob your a professional salesman there's a lot of companies that sell great tools Veritas is one and there prices are alot better than yours your prices are way to high for the average person with tax your saw is around 500 Canadian dollars for a dovetail saw lee valley sell there's for 109 plus tax canadian. huge difference yours is no way your's is 4 times better i use Veritas it cuts perfect just saying.

  • @debandmike3380
    @debandmike3380 Рік тому

    every time I watch your videos and other planer videos they always slightly lift the back up when they pull back to maintain position but you insist on dragging the blade across the wood to me that creates friction, heat, and dulls the blade so I really don't understand your logic there. with all due respect of course.

    • @RobCosmanWoodworking
      @RobCosmanWoodworking  Рік тому

      If it is dulling its only very slightly and I can resharpen in 32 seconds so its not a big deal. I prefer not to pick up the plane and move it back
