I saw how concave that blade was on the back and thought you were going to be at the stone for hours flattening it, and it never even occurred to me to use a hammer to ‘tap it out’. That’s one reason I watch these vids, the others being the pure enjoyment I get from watching the workmanship and the amazing products made. Love your work!
Making a plane with a plane eh? I love it, I had never heard of the hammer technique you did with the iron before that was very cool. You know what you could almost use those marks you showed on your Instagram post to deliberately texture the wood. A very fine job indeed sir.
Thanks sir. I had that thought too about the texture. It almost looks like an adze did it but not quite. I'll experiment and see what I can come up with.
So you scrub plane to knock down the high spots, and at what point do you switch to a longer jointing plane, and or a smoother? When the twist is gone obviously, but how do you know if it's flat enough along the length and width? When the straight edge touches most of the "tops" of the scalloped cuts?
Good question. I use my marking gauge to mark the thickness I need along the edge and then plane down to that point. Typically the rough planed portion goes on the inside of a piece. If you watch my Yokozuna Chest build it'll give you an idea of how I go about it. I don't really flatten out the rough planed portion unless it's going to be visible from both sides of the finished product.
Eric Hartunian very cool. The only reason I added the reinforcement was to get rid of the cross grain fill. It would've gotten torn to bits with heavy use
where do you get a reference about herashi kanna? I bought a used kanna with wide mouth spacing, interesting for me to do the same thing on my kanna. nice posting.. thanks
Great work on the plane 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Didn’t know about the tapping of the blade, vary interesting Ps, I did have an episode of Sponge Bob Square Pants running through my head Couple minutes later, couple hours later, years later 😂😂😂👍🏻
That's awesome. It should come in really handy. Is pulling it during a heavy cut difficult? In my mind this is one area where I think pushing could be advantageous
Thanks sir. As far as being tough to pull I didn't really notice anything. I tried it with the sole both dry and with some butcher block conditioner and both were pretty much the same. One thing I noticed with pulling on heavy cuts off camera was that with a pull I can use gravity to assist. In that sense I don't need alot of weight to push against to get a big clean chip because the work wedges itself against the stop on a pull stroke.
Just working on a few slightly bigger and more complex projects. the reason I don't hold myself to a schedule is so I can work at a good pace and not rush anything. I appreciate the concern my friend!
Thanks for another great vid; I really enjoy your videos. That said, though, you have me a little concerned now. See, I bought a supposedly vintage, hand forged, plane blade off ebay a month or so ago. I hope to make a jointer plane with it. It looks a lot like your "cheap" blade. I didn't spend hundreds of dollars for it, only about thirty dollars actually. I just hope I didn't get scammed. Keep up the good work.
Brad Lewis I wouldn't worry about it too much. If it's a 30$ plane that you can get 30$ of work out of then I'd say it's worth the money whether it's handmade or not.
4 years later... Do you still use this scrub plane? And I'm curious, at the end you said something with "mas"in it. I've heard that a lot with Japanese carpentry videos. What does it mean?
@@Lemongrasspicker thats great to hear. I believe I'd like to try make one of these. I have already converted a Harbour Freight 33 Windsor into a scrub, enlargened the mouth, radius to 6", made it hair shaving sharp etc. Doesnt work as nicely as I would like - as I see others making lovely shaving from it. Mine makes rough wood and some shavings, like using a very coarse rasp. Any ideas why? (and I have gone 45deg/90deg against the grain, with trying different depth of cuts too) Lastly, can you let me know what the "polite thank you" words are in Japanese please? I know its Mas something. Tx.
@@LitoGeorge arigato gozaimasu is the English spelling version of what I'm saying. On your scrub plane. Its very tough to tell with an issue like that what the underlying problem is but it sounds like perhaps the angle you've ground the edge at is too steep/stumpy which is ripping the wood instead of cutting it. Try a lower angle on the edge and see what happens. Again I'm just guessing here it could even be that the blade is too loose in the plane which is making it chatter and skip across the grain rather than cut it.
@@Lemongrasspicker thank you for all the different answers. The blade is tight, held in place very firmly. I will try a lower angle. I had it at 25 and then 35deg, both made no difference. I'll try 20 on this disaster. Cheers

Nice job on tapping out the edge !
Great video. I was wondering how to go about doing something like that.
LOVE IT!!!!!!!!! Great idea. After the shed build I need to make one of these with cheaper ebay kanna.
AdventuresInDIY thanks sir. I'd really like to see what you do with it when you get it done.
Excellent
Sometimes I worry about the wise men you hang out with. Sometimes I worry I'm not hanging out with them
i've been working my way through all your videos :O... do you have an opinion on kakuri planes?
Thanks for watching. They're pretty cheap and aren't that well made. They make good decorations but that's about it haha

Fish glue? Very interesting. Thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge with us.
Glad you enjoyed it sir
Very well explained, thank you !
Mark Shaw glad you enjoyed it sir
Best comment ¨ Hope the neigbours dont mind this to mutch¨ if i had been your neighbor i should already gone crazy..
Great video

Very good! Thanks.
Another great build video,
I miss the dulced tone of your "wise man once told me ..." wisdoms, when are you posting videos again?
I know my reply is 3 years late. But I post occasionally now. Just whenever i have time. But the kids and family come first.
Just found your channel. I did the exact same thing with an inexpensive ebay kanna, but didn't reinforce the mouth.
Eric Hartunian very cool. The only reason I added the reinforcement was to get rid of the cross grain fill. It would've gotten torn to bits with heavy use
where do you get a reference about herashi kanna? I bought a used kanna with wide mouth spacing, interesting for me to do the same thing on my kanna. nice posting.. thanks
In Toshio Odate's book on Japanese tools he references it on page 99 under the title "Herashi-kanna". Thanks for watching
Great work on the plane 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Couple minutes later, couple hours later, years later 😂😂😂👍🏻
Thanks sir. There were definitely some Spongebob worthy moments during the project
Good job
Thanks sir
i almost said "just use a file if youre worried about the noise" i swear im not an idiot...

Cool. I think I'm going to try this
Joseph Laviolette go for it. I'd like to see your results when you get it done
I'm going to grab a cheap Amazon kanna I think and give it a go.
Joseph Laviolette looking forward to seeing it
hey mate, stopped making videos? hope you have a good time out there. friendly greetings, Jörgen

Since you had asked previously, I just put up a new video
Shoot I would have put an extreme camber on that sucker. More camber, more cut.
Sure could

Believe it or not it sits on my shelf and gets used regularly. At the end of the video I'm just saying "thank you" in a polite way
