    I'm mostly a "machine" type woodworker, but there's nothing quite like a well tuned, sharp old Stanley hand plane for some instant gratification. I've looked around at most of the modern planes available today, and frankly I don't see the value in spending that much money on a single tool. I would much rather find an old Stanley at a flee market, garage sale or any place else people sell old tools. I enjoy bringing it home and refurbishing it, I find that very satisfying. Great video, New subscriber.

    The little scrub plane that you do not prefer was, I believe, developed for the carpentry trade. They are excellent for backing out moldings and casings, taking down the high spots on beams and studs in preparation for wall finishes, etc. I always include mine in my tool kit when doing remodeling work, especially on old houses.

    Thank you Joshua. I've purchased some hand planes over the years and have enjoyed using them. I don't have a lot of money to spend on planes and I try to get only the essential planes - like the ones you mentioned. I enjoy refurbishing old tools. Not long ago I found an old junkie block plane, like the one you show toward the end of the video, and turned it onto something I can use. It's not a Stanley low angle block plane but it was free. And as we all know, free is good. Looking forward to more.

    Also, should I add a no. 7 to my lineup? I'm holding off on that unless I spot a real gem for a low price on craigslist.

    @davidbratby5134 Рік тому

    With respect, I was taught to never rest a plane down on its planing sole (base). This because the cutting edge being theoretically at least, honed down to infinity, those last few atoms of metal at the edge can easily become damaged even by a wooden surface. Best to lay it on its side.
    Very informative otherwise though, thank you.
