Before I started this project I knew next to nothing about Japanese planes. After some research I was confident to give it a try and I'm glad I did as it turned out so good. I've always wanted to make a plane but up until now it just hasn't happened.
As I mention in the video my son was trying his hand at hand planing with a Stanley no4 and was struggling (probably due to not being tall enough for the bench) but I thought a Japanese style plane may be easier. That's the reason I decided to get on and make one.

I should have said in the video that Bradley isn't tall enough for the workbench. I did mention this in the description though but as not many read the description I'll pin it here. ;)
Next project: A step stool.
Japanese woodworkers are supposed to sit on the floor anyway.
My boy is 11 and I had same challenge... so I built him, his size bench with vise and he is actually enjoying working around shop now... Having proportional tools to your size is very important factor if you starting out... we often overlook this little detail...
BF Florida is right!! Aside the obvious and main reason the kid is struggling, it would better yet for him if he could manage to practice more the posture, but for that to work perfectly, either the table has to be lowered or him has to rise a little. His body mass is way up for him to apply his body weight.

You're an awesome dad. Years from now he's going to look back at these videos and the effort you put into helping him learn and enjoy this craft!
And can you imagine the lot of tools he gets to play with. Or just imagine growing up with Pask as your dad.
We recently lumbered a 36" maple, a 36" white ash, and a 32" pecan. After drying, we tried planing with a Rigid (Home Depot) 13" planer with 2 HSS knives th-cam.com/users/postUgkxIzvvTi3_Qc8JnVdYYRJCvuoDC4QjTzeL . This job was clearly too much for that machine. The pecan was particularly difficult, due to heavy mineral deposits, and a sharp pair of HSS knives would be consumed by a mere 3 boards. We were also having lots of problems from chip bruising, due to poor dust collection. The shavings came off like straw and jammed in the 4" hose.We bought the DW735 simply to be able to run carbide blades, which worked brilliantly for the pecan. However, we found it to be a much, MUCH nicer machine. It was far more rigid than the "Rigid" planer, and far more accurate as well. But what I liked most about it was the dust feed. This machine has its own blower, which shreds the "straw" like shavings as they come off the cutting head and helps boost the shavings into the dust collection system. No more clogs! It's also nicely sealed so that the internals stay quite clean. This is just a well tempered machine that's a delight to use. It literally cut the labor in half. Just another example of getting what you pay for.
finally something left me speechless - simplicity perfection and modesty - your work speak for you - you just decided to make it and you made it - it was a privilege to watch - thank you
Lovely, very good video and description of the process and I think your son really found it easier to use. I might need one of these too!
Thanks very much Cris! You should definitely get hold of one - I think you would enjoy it! :)
Buddy, that was brilliant! Not only are you gifted in your ability to visualise what is possible from your available material, but you also have the gift of communication to inspire so many with the self belief needed to achieve some of what you show us is possible. Watching your channel is like having ones own personal guide and mentor. And what's also great is that your videos never are never just one more demonstration of sxpertly managed machinery, processing some wood, with which YT is littered by the thousands, but they show what can be achieved with the pretty basic handtools, available at minimal expense to anyone who wants to have a go, and experience the glow of realising that they too can make things that do the job. A truly exceptional talent and a truly exceptional channel.

Excellent movie! Love the....bench dogs 🤓
Thanks! I thought they needed to making a showing as they weren't in the last video. (at least I don't think they were)! ;)
Hahahaha. Bench Dogs. I see what you did there. Nice one!
Pretty good job there mate! The proof is in the pudding as they say - it seems to take a pretty decent shaving at the end. Nice work on the Dai. One thing I would say is you hollow ground the wrong side of the blade. Flat side of the blade is hollow ground to speed up and refine the sharpening process - you only have to flatten the edges of the blade rather than the whole flat face.
"I'll make do with what I've got" and hey presto, an amazing first attempt. Cheers and thanks, David.
Haha! Thanks David! :)
Wow, what a result! I couldn't believe you chisled the opening for the blade out of a solid piece of wood and didn't cut off two side pieces, then just cut the angles on a chop saw and re-assemble. Absolutely beautiful work.
Thanks Josh! I may try the other method and make another plane soon! :)
Wonderful effort...Love your use of what is available...and the blending of skills...wood and metal...Hope the apprentice realizes he is blessed...
I love how you use stuff that you have like 'stealing' a piece of the sieve handle. I have so much crap in my shop that "I'm sure I'll find a use for this some day" and actually finding a use for it is a good day.
I'm the same Scott - I hold on to lots of things and surprisingly someday I find uses for them. I could've probably found a piece of bar from several items but I spied that first and it was perfect. :)
Inspiring work! Thanks for sharing your projects.
You did a great job with that plane mate. Some Japanese tool seem so simple but work perfectly and look like they haven't been redesigned for centuries. Awesome stuff mate 👍
Great job. Looks like it turned out quite good. Also, I loved how you anchored the names of the wood to the motion of the plan going across the wood. That was a really nice touch. Cheers!
Thank you! :)
Wonderful piece your son will cherish for a long time.
I think its awesome and your out there doing it not sitting on the side lines. Most importantly your son is the shop with you and that is PRICELESS!
That’s fantastic!
great job! One of the best wood-working channels:)
I cross the fingers for next videos with fantastic projects.
best regards from Poland ;)
Thank you very much Emil! :)
Wow, that turned out well!
Looks top quality to me! Nice work!
Amazing ! You did it, Neil ! And that's quite a nice plane when we see those thin shavings coming out of it !
Looks good. Nice of you to help out your son like that. 💕
Beautiful build, hats off to you mate 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Every time you surprise me with your ideas. Just! Brilliant and accessible to everyone.
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
And you have two bench dogs too!!!
Great video!!! Thanks for sharing!
Great job especially using available materials. Love your videos.
Beautifully made plane mate abs really satisfying to watch it in motion too
Bloody masterful Neil. Great job!
Thanks very much Damo! :)
thank you for your programme it was very entertaining for me . i love your terriers too.
I feel such satisfaction at the end. Well done.
I wish I could give two thumbs up for the cute pups with the shavings.
Brilliant as always
Incredible that you managed to make a good dai your first time!
As one of the younger woodworkers (a year or two older than your son) watching your channel. :)
I have found that the best thing for using any type of hand plane, is to have the workbench just above waist height and using the shoulders and upper body to propel the plane, rather than pushing from the elbows/arms, when the work piece is at rib-cage height. I find that being able to press down on the timber I am planing aides direction and control as well as visually helping the planing process and technique. I have lowered my own workbench to around 850mm tall and it has made every aspect of planing easy. Alternatively i have also made a long pallet like step to use on my other wraparound wall workbenches that aides with sawing, chiselling etc.
Just my two cents, hope that helps.
Sincerely Noah
Thanks Noah! You are correct - the height is the main reason Bradley struggles. I did mention that in the description but forgot to mention it in the video. I like your idea of a step - I may have to make something like that for Bradley. :)
Maybe one of those low stools where the floor end of the legs span out further than the platform he stands on? Cheers, David.
Inspirational as always! Great how to!
You've taken some common materials and produced a fine plane. For myself, the japanese planes are easier on my wrists. Great job and thanks for sharing..
That's an awesome build and does a brilliant job
Man that turned out amazing! This video was very helpful. Thank you sir
Clever method. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome build! Thanks for sharing the tips and the process! Turned out great!
Thanks - Glad you liked it! :)
Great job, thanks for sharing!
Lovely job and well presented ☺
I like this kind of videos. Also, I can't believe it took me this long to find your channel. You are amongst the best content creators on TH-cam. Those 1+ million subs are absolutely deserved, and may there be many more.
Great piece of DIY stuff!
I'm amazed at your superb skill. It's great.
Great video! Great job! Thanks for sharing!
Great result.
I really must try one of these for some reason pulling seems more sensible. Thanks for the inspiration
That came out great!!
Super Job!!! Thanks for sharing.
I cannot tell if Bradley liked the new plane or not, but the dogs sure like the shavings.
Just amazing result mate! 👍
That was awesome!
As usual. Very impressive. If I see a new vid from Pask it will be the first thing I watch. No question.
Thanks very much! :)
Fantastic job man, I've loved the process and results. Great video!
Thanks mate! :)
Making your own plane has got to be very satisfying!
Certainly is! :)
So awesome 🤩
Amazing!
I love your videos!
Great use of the flour container. And the sleeping pups are always a win. Fantastic job.
Thanks! :)
Beautiful job
Great work!
That is a great make my friend

What a fine piece
Dude, you made a Japanese style planer that works amazing. Awesome!
Looking at those shavings, that looks like a very good plane.
I love it. Really.
Very nice Japanese Plane.
Looks simple enough, does a good job and Bradley seems to have a handle on it, so a win all round, thanks Neil
Thanks Max! :)

Beyond awesome!
NICE work 🔨🔨
You make me smile. thanks.
Beautiful job there, sir! Cheers from NY
You should be happy... You did a great job... Now you have made me... Wanting to make one... Thanks for sharing...
Dude!! I love your videos! And to think your son will treasure a plane you made just for him!!
Thanks Ron! :)
awesome job!!
Very impressive for an improvised made Kanna plane
Nice as usual!
Awesome work. I'm studying to be a Design and Tech/TAS teacher and in the middle of a woodworking subject, it's got me wondering why they don't have more of them in schools. You could clearly see that your son was having an easier time getting results from the japanese plane compared to the no4.
You've inspired me once again and I might have to make some time to have a go myself
Glad it inspired you! Like I said I'd never used one before but now I really like it! :)
Probably because jacks are more widely used where you are, so are cheaper and easier to get a hold of. They're also potentially easier to use for someone who is weak/young as long as the bench is at the right height.
The reason his son found pulling easier at that height is because he's relying on strength and his back muscles are stronger than his chest, as it is with most people.
Looks like an awesome plane
Fantastic job 👍👍👍👍
Great job...well done...
Nice to see your Son getting into it. And that you have dogs who like to help LOL
Fantastic!
This is such a cool channel! I need to make one (plane). I don't have a steel bar but I'll find a substitute Thank you for sharing✌
