asesome tips. slightly off topic but could you layer colors of shellac? say dewaxed blonde, then waxy amber, then dewaxed bonde again for a deep prismatic effect or does it all blend together no matter what?

I am not an expert on dating hand planes. This response is based on the research and publishing of Leslie Harrison. The C & J Hampton company was established in Sheffield, England by brothers Charles and Joseph Hampton in 1898. They registered the Record brand as their trademark in 1909. In 1930, in response to the Great Depression, the British government implemented tariffs on imported goods to stimulate their own local economy. With this impetus, C & J Hampton introduced their Record line of hand planes in 1931. They essentially copied existing Stanley planes, whose patents had expired by that time. Many other tool manufacturers at that time were taking the same copycat route. The Record 043 plough plane was introduced in 1935, and remained in production until 1978. They were initially nickel-plated, which ceased in 1939 as nickel was deemed an essential war material. The depth stop and fence arm locking screws were initially traditional thumbscrews with flat oval heads. These were changed to knurled cylindrical heads, as seen on this example, in the late 1950’s. The box label with blue and white boarder lines was used from WW II up until 1962. This plane was therefore most likely made between the late 50’s up to 1962.

I can't get the Wixey Digital Readout to move through the Wixey.

Good video. I’m looking for a dust collection system for my small basement shop, so this will be helpful. By the way, you already have functional cyclone separation with your existing system, as most of the dust and chips are separated by centrifugal force from the airstream prior to going into the filter section. You wouldn’t need anything else.

One reason I've been thinking about: I think the kerf thickness matters less when measuring from the left (on my saw). I put on blades from right to left. The left side of the arbor is fixed. Therefore, the main part of all blades are at exactly the same location. The only factor causing variability to the left comes from tooth width vs. main blade width. To the right, kerf width will vary up to say 1/4" - 3/32" (the diff between my thickest kerf minus my thinnest kerf).

Seeing such pride and precision in the work is rare these days. Awesome job! I think i will try this out of wood

I got an email from Oliver that said they were having trouble getting Byrd to ship cutterheads in a timely fashion, so they reworked the 10044 a little and put their own HCX cutter in it. They have also added some features: it is now a full 13 inches wide in capacity and has two feed rates. The model number is 10045 and it is the same price as the old one.

What's the advantage of this technique over contact glue?

Thanks for this video Frank! I'm looking to add a light color to some pickwick (knotty pine) boards I just got and will be installing in our house soon. The clear Zinser shellac doesn't have enough color/tone to it and the amber is darker than we'd like so I'm thinking of trying the blonde on the knotty pine. Curious if you've ever used that on pine before and , if so, how did you like it? I also wonder if pre conditioning the pine and doing a custom stain mix might work?

I had my project all sanded and ready for finish when I discovered your video. I had sanded to 400 grit, but I'm wondering if that's too fine for a wipe-on shellac finish?

Great video and instruction, very informative! I'm getting ready to finish some hard maple stools and intend to use the Zinsser Amber as the first coat because that produces the precise color I'm looking for. Would the mineral spirits also help a brushing situation?

Your two videos are outstanding. Very little in the way of other serious videos on this planer while there are 1,000s on the DW735. Great explanations, demonstrations and presentation. I am planning a smaller shop in about a year and this video sealed my decision on choice of thickness planer. Oliver should send you $78,000. Thanks.

Just got mine. Love it. Two complaints (minor) No instructions how to use the material removal gauge on the front of the cutting base. The dust chute must be removed to fold it up for storage. The thumb screws aren't a huge imposition and I think can rig up a quick connect system (maybe magnets) but I think that could be better for the price.

I have the DeWalt 735 and respect it tho it’s super loud with the knives. Your sharing of info on the oliver made the case for me and I perhaps got fortunate at Woodcraft as it had one. I am enjoying it immensely. The DRO did not work and they promptly sent me a new one (Oliver) with no hassle. Just a tip for anyone having to change their DRO, take the metal stem off the planer to insert the new one. Feed the top of the stem through the bottom of the Wixey as it is difficult to put the DRO on from the stem bottom while still attached to the planer. I called Oliver for advice as I did not want to force it on. I think they should include that advice, especially when replacing that part. I should sell the 735 but I do like that planer as well. Thanks again for both reviews.

The technique of joining the two bookmatched sections was great to watch. I wonder how much longer it would take to cut the sides off neatly - it looks as if your 3/8" will be barely enough in the bottom left corner where the veneer has torn along the edge....

I use 99% isopropyl alcohol, which also dissolves shellac well. I crushed all the shellac flakes by a rolling pin before adding alcohol and keep stirring when I add alcohol. I found orange / garnet shellac harder to dissolve and the color is a bit uneven. I have to filter them before use.

Well done, this was a great shop review. Thanks!

I won't begin to tell you what I occasionally forget to do in the shop. Must be a Jersey kid thing.

Good to see you again. I have the Dewalt which I wish was made with the helical head but I love it anyway. I had a chance to use the Oliver at a school I recently attended to plane shop made veneer (the shop installed an auxiliary table to give some additional height). It worked well but we were hardly pushing it. Look forward to hearing about your experiences.

I used Everclear instead of denatured alcohol when I lived in PA. It was cost effective and it worked exceptionally well.

That was so helpful. thank you. I became hooked on shellac after watching stumpy nubs cover basic finishing products and this video fine tuned so mistakes I was making. I'm going to give the alcohol you used a try too.

This is a nice tip - thanks! Will this also work with pre-made amber shellac? I have some maple that I want to get a nice antique honey finish.

Thank you so much for this informative video. It's got me feeling inspired. Quick question for you. Would this method be suitable for veneering a 10" radius with raw quarter sawn oak? Also what would you recommend for thickness of veneer? I'm making the veneer myself;).

After about a year of considering on planer choice, this is the video that did it for me. It's finally time to stop going into work for their planer! Excellent review. I would consider cutting the bass frequencies and some sort of a volume limiter if that's something within your production toolset. The bass was a bit boomy/farty/whatever the kids are calling it. Additionally, when you were running the planer with the dust collection the volume level broke one of the cats and had me needing to make a volume adjustment. Not a big deal, if not, as broken cats are always funny. Thanks for this video.

Hey! Why is connecting this to a shop vac “not a good idea”?

Frank. … it looks like you got your steps in for the day!

Thanks for the video I think im going with the Oliver

On the fence between the Oliver and the DeWalt 735 but leaning towards the Oliver. I'll be keeping an eye out for the next planer video

Great video. Somebody recommended to add some cellulose thinner to the shellac. Is it something you would recommend?

love the wetzlers

I've had my (wheeled) HSS724 for 7 years now and I love it. Good as new. Just keep the chute & cables lubed / protected and they'll never fail. Oil change & spark plug change once a year. Biggest tip I can give you is install an impeller kit, which closes the gap between impeller end and impeller housing, eliminating clogs. I made my own kit from bailer belting (Tractor Supply) bolted through the 3 impeller ends. I don't think Honda power equipment can be beaten. I live in the country and rely on this stuff and they've never ler me down. Pricey but dependable. Perhaps the biggest tip is to make sure to run the engine out of fuel by turning the fuel lever to 'off' after each session. Running the carb dry prevents any kind of fuel gunk build up. I learnt this one the hard way but since I've done this I've never had any issues with any of my Honda power equip[ment in over 10 years.Enjoy your work of art!

Because the deep state wants us to cut from the left side in order to promote a woke agenda 😉 Make America Gelastic Again 🤡👍

Park Tools spoke wrenches are great too. I'm bias because they are local to me. I wish Capri would bring back their ratcheting wrench sets. They sold those wrench roll bags for the wrenches but discontinued the actual wrenches.

Masterfully done! Thanks for sharing.

Ran into this nightmare when residing house. Company that we hired did not care and were not primarily siding. We have several different sized intrusions in house. Lights, outlets, different air vents, garden water hoses spigots, air conditioning, and external electric boxes for power and internet. They did a garbage job and I had to go through and redo. I looked at neighbors houses to see what best looking solutions were. Like you I disliked the plastic box plate things. I just used blocks of wood and painted to seal them from elements.

I second mauriceton motion for best shellac tutorial. Adding nuts to the mixing container is genius. The squeeze bottle with mineral spirits is a great way of dispensing. Much better than an old cup with plastic wrap on the top.

Excellent thoughts Frank. I've got dedicated shop vacs hooked up to the table saw, miter saw and drill press. I like your idea of adding a wye for more thorough collection.

Good job frank. Did you end up caulking the small gap around the mounting block. I will have to use that material as well

Beginner here.. good to know it's okay to cut on the right side! Thanks for this video

Hey!

Chinese engines .

Thanks !

I just bought the HS724CT24 inch for my daughter. We get tons of snow in Northern Ontario Canada. I’ve got a Honda HSS 1132 and it’s a beast. I’m hoping the smaller size will work for her as well.

we have watched a number of videos about making inlay banding in an effort to repair banding on vintage boxes. THIS IS THE BEST WE HAVE SEEN. Your teaching ability and methodology is magnificent. THANK YOU!!!🤩

What is the best finish for wood ring?

Brilliant idea. Could you use d-limonene instead?

When you do it normally, do you keep the same square of rag, or do you make a new one because of the dried shellac on the old one?

If right handed place right hand on the trigger stand infront of the machine start it. Plunge it. Lock the plunge and move your hand onto the knob on the guide and pull the machine toward you and walk backward.
