Excellent video Graham - thank you. I always wondered why there were so many planes in the background, but now im understanding the variety - i can only imagine there are so many more!
Thanks a lot for another lesson, Graham! 😃 Soon enough I'm going to restart my hunt for old planes here! (It's been too hot in the last 6 months or so here in Brazil... I don't want to feel ill going to the flea market here in my city. And my father can't expose his arms to the sun anymore... So, things get difficult. But it's finally getting colder!) Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Love this video and I learned some new things ! I know the Stanley 45 is a Jack of all trades and master of none but I would love to see a video on beading with it as well. I have one and I find it quite useful. I can also see why you would want the planes for all the specific jobs as they are easier to set up. I find that the old wood rabbet planes and molding planes are wonderful but harder to find out west. Anyway love your videos!
very informative as always Graham. i do some beading in my work but with a "modern" stanley #50 or even my #55. but they are finicky to setup compared to the planes you show
Graham....I am very interested in moulding planes and recently started making them. I find there aren't many who give detail info about them and appreciate what you bring to the table. At the moment I am starting to make a beading moulding plane and glad I watched your video. Thank you! Cheers!!
I never really understand what the difference is between a bead and a moulding, or the distinction between the two. Also, I don't really understand what a quirk is in this terminology.
Brian you go into very informative description. I have 5 various sizes when you say how to sharpen a blade..if I may say quite rightly on the back for a while...then replace blade into plane to check against shape of mould you dont say how you would sharpen to follow profile...I have a couple of slip stones but would fear of damaging wood if iron is in place...would you please be able to guide me. By the way I love your tutorial and now reach for a wooden plane rather than a Stanley Thanks john
Any real advantages/disadvantages to making beads with something like a Record 050? Is it basically the same thing, but with an adjustable metal body, or is something lost ir gained? Thanks for the videos!
@@Mr_Rick thanks. I have lots of moulding planes. Did my cabinet making apprenticeship 25 years ago but this type of stuff was barely touched upon. I worked with some older cabinet makers and you could notice the standard was slipping. But we were only allowed to use hand tools for the apprenticeship which was great. (Exams etc)
Thanks, I have been enjoying the trip through your planes.
Thanks!

Glad you enjoyed it
Fascinating. Thank you for sharing.
Very welcome!
I picked up a nice 3/16 slipped bead plane last weekend for £1. They are still out there!
Nice!
A very underrated skill - the toolmaker.
Fascinating presentation yet again Mr Blackburn.
Many thanks!

Hit the 25K mark!!! Congrats. As a wooden Plane user, I really appreciate what you do. Thank you Sir.
Much appreciated

Very true.
Very cool information yet again.
Thanks again!
another great video. thank you
Very welcome!
Good timing and good video. I picked up 9 more wooden planes over the weekend at various sales and am about to start whipping them back into shape.
Great!

Invaluable and beautiful tools. Congratulations and thank you for sharing your deep knowledge. Blessings!
You are very welcome

A bead is indeed a form of moulding. The quirk is simply the groove that defines the inside of the bead.
Thank you, Graham.
Very welcome!

Mark the iron when it is in place, but remove it to file to the line you made,
Very good.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Thanks for the videos!
Works fine, but just a lot of adjustment. good when you don't have to carry everthing with you.
Great video. If you have an iron whose profile doesn’t match the plane what is the best way to reshape it?
Scribe the outline of the plane's sole on the back of the protruding iron and then file carefully to the line. File a bevel andyou're ready to go!
Thanks for the info
You're welcome!
How do you handle grain direction if you don't have the fancy 2 way plane? What do you do if the only plane you have makes you go against the grain?
Make sure the iron is sharp and well adjusted and try for thinner shavings.
@@gjbmunc Got it. Thanks
Graham I saw the book at Lee valley. I’m going to get one. Decent price.what’s the main difference between volume 1 and 2
Good question. LV has four of his books. The prices are good and hard to choose which is best for one's needs first.

Volume 1 is a listing of all the common tools. Volume two explains more what they are use for and how to tell good ones.
