Used my moving filister rabbet plane on the weekend. Two things i would love tips on, sharpening the plane iron. Second, setting the ideal depth of cut. Both of these things are still an enigma to me.

[@gjbmunc]

Episode 41 might help with sharpening. Ideal depth of cut depends on the final use as a joint; or if you mean the shaving you take , as thick as is practical without incurring tearout.

[@anthonyseiver7000]

@gjbmunc thanks Graham, I meant as in the blade exposure below the sole. I am still yet to find the sweet spot on my plane.

[@BakerVS]

On the continent, I've seen moving fillister planes with a skewed iron, but most normal rebate planes just have a square iron (but some have a chipbreaker and ajustable mouth.
I'd like to try one of those skewed rebate planes!

[@gjbmunc]

They're out there.

J’adore les rabots et vous êtes une source précieuse de renseignements et une mémoire vivante. Merci pour votre partage 👌😀

[@gjbmunc]

You're welcome!

In your book, Traditional Woodworking Handtools pg 176 " there is no law that says a plane may not be altered by a user. If this is done to good effect such alteration results in an equally valid tool". Well said Graham. I have been hesitant to alter my tools until I gained the knowledge and skill to do such. Your book and that from Michael Dunbars book Restoring, Tuning and Using Classic Woodworking Tools is providing me with solid information and foundation to do such work. Your book is excellent!

[@gjbmunc]

Thanks!

[@Clint1J]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge of woodworking.

[@gjbmunc]

My pleasure.

[@robertsevera137]

good day sir 😉

[@gjbmunc]

Same to you!

[@bigdteakettle8989]

Looking forward to the next one!

[@gjbmunc]

Hope you like it!

At about 12:12, you describe a fillester with an adjustable fence attached to the bottom with metal screws as a “standing fillester.” In your book (2000 edition, page 173, Figure 204), you describe it as a “moving fillester.” Salaman’s Dictionary of Tools agrees with the latter description.

[@gjbmunc]

Yes, of course!

[@plakor6133]

Thanks! I was wondering about one in my wooden plane stash. It has a wide bottom, and has a nicker, similar to yours. Mystery solved. Also in the collection is a Mathiesson standing fillister. So beautiful, and enjoyable to use, a favorite.

[@gjbmunc]

I love Mathieson tools. Enjoy!

[@johnfisk811]

Would a carpenter or joiner from Flanders have not spoken in Flemish rather than French?

[@gjbmunc]

Perhaps not all but certainly many were French-speakig.

[@johnford7847]

Another interesting episode, sir. Thank you for sharing.

[@gjbmunc]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@robertberger8642]

Excellent info, answers some basic questions for me that I wasn’t getting before. Thanks for making & posting this video!

[@gjbmunc]

Glad it was helpful!

[@TheRaven0811]

I'm really enjoying your series on all of these tools. Not sure if it's on my end or not but when this video was premiering, it was continually pausing and skipping. I was able to watch with no problem after the premiere.

[@gjbmunc]

Computers do funny things!

[@ianpearse4480]

Can't wait for the next episode. Great share, thank you. Have you ever used a Mitre Jack? Are they useful?

[@gjbmunc]

Sure, but not essential - there are good substitutes

[@ianpearse4480]

@@gjbmunc Thank you. I was given one to play with.

[@ga5743]

Thanks Graham those are so cool and look well used.

Good afternoon from Copperhill Tn.

Hello there!

[@MCsCreations]

Thanks a bunch for the lesson, Graham! 😊
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@gjbmunc]

Thanks, you too!

Brits do weird things with the letter E like clErk pronounced clark

[@gjbmunc]

It's because half of (British) English comes from German and half from French!

[@sheilbwright7649]

What's the difference between a rabbet and a shoulder plane?

[@gjbmunc]

A rabbet plane has a perfectly flat sole, a should plane often has a built-in fence.

[@sheilbwright7649]

@@gjbmunc Thank you.

[@transmundanium]

Those ones with the fence & arms are what I was taught to call sash fillisters

[@gjbmunc]

Correct!
