Making a simple plough plane/grooving plane with hand tools

- I needed a plough plane/grooving plane for a build, so I made a quick thing to see if it will get enough use to justify making or buying a better one.
I'm not a professional and I don't have anything to teach, this is just me, messing around in my appartment workshop. Join me as Im learning fine woodworking!
Hi friends! Since this has become one of my most popular videos and is still getting views, I'd like to tell anyone watching now, 1.5 years later, that this tool is not good. It was the first plane I made and I didn't understand what makes them work. The problem is the lack of sole in front of the blade, which causes it to dig down and be impossible to fully control. I later made a new version which was constructed the same way from layers of plywood, but with a full sole and a wedge for the blade instead of the set screw. It works much better and you can see me using it in newer videos. Turns out there's a reason planes were made like that for hundreds of years, who knew! Anyway, thanks for watching, I do appreciate the views and likes and comments, but I hope you won't judge me based on this one early toolmaking mistake ;)
I can’t seem to find the newer video. Is there a link? Thanks!
@@yankinsheffield Thank you for the interest! Honestly I'm not sure anymore which videos I was referring to back then ("newer" was written two years ago!) but I do still use it occasionally, for example at 15:40 ish in this one: ua-cam.com/video/YTJ8zRykJcs/v-deo.html
@@GillisBjork really appreciate it. :)
Can you please do a follow up and share with us how you improvised on the design, many thanks and by the way i am a new subscriber, very impressed with the router plane build
Thank you sir.🎉
Gillis you are amazing!
I saw your comment on the efficiency of this particular model and you can see it is actin more like a gouge than a plane. Anyway, well done for staying with it to move onto the new and improved Mc2 middle.
Yeah pretty much, it was not fun to use at all haha. Thank you!
Thanks for the great idea Gillis 😊 I hope to see more of your projects. Namaste.
Very good! Thank you.
Glad you like it, thanks for watching!
Good work
YEY! I found another hidden gem on youtube :D Subscribed!
Haha thanks!
thanks
Very nice! I will make one too! Subbed.
Cool! Thanks!
I would've liked to have seen the groove after you got it cut.
Trust me, you don't want to see it ;) This is an old video and the tool doesn't work very well, my grooves needed a lot of chisel cleanup until I made an improved version, which you can see in use here if you want: ua-cam.com/video/ZoVSAyFyeDk/v-deo.html
Low tech is good tech. Great little plane. Did you make a tonguing plane as well?
nice
Thank you!
