  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ต.ค. 2024
  • Some time ago Simon from the UK send me some lovely pieces of wood.
    Few of them were perfect to build a coffin smoothing plane with closed tote and mouth closer - so, let's build one!
    The wood is Paduk.
    The iron was made by Ferdinand Rubens a long time ago.
    This project will be upoaded in two parts, one video would be too long.
    In the next episode i'm gonna make the tote and the coffin shape.
    See you soon :)
    Merry Christmast!
    BTW. I don't take orders and usually i don't sell my planes.
    The most sure way to get some of them is take a part in giveaways for my supporters.

    Great as always! Wood looks very much like Brazilian mahogany.
    Is there a video where you show how to carve the concave feature on the wedge?
    Two days ago, while cleaning my tools, I realized the other day that I made a rosewood wedge for my mahogany plane and a mahogany wedge for my rosewood plane (this one is more than 100 years old and almost unused, but needed a new wedge). They were built by chance with the wood I had in time for each.
    Thanks for sharing your amazing skills again and merry Xmas!

    Salute to u my bro.. This is some very fine workmanship you're doing here my friend..
    Typically how long would this tyoe of work take u to get finished? This is defo not a one day job I'm pretty confident in saying?? Ok not very confident in saying that bcos I don't honestly know but I'm guessing it takes more than a day or 2.. Maybe a week of working out the chiselling and everything else that goes into a precision cut piece like this plane.. I love watching these videos bro. Using our hands to make tools is a fast dimishing skill/Artform imho.. Keep up the brilliant work man and keep great videos like this one coming. I'm learning a lot from watching and doing bits while watching. The good thing about the videos is I can go back and watch parts I've forgot and rewatch again to refresh it in my mind. I have the attention span of a flea bro.. I'm joking of course..or am I?!?!
    Hope u had a good Xmas and all the best in 2023 too man..

    Outstanding! Question, how did you learn all of this? Did you learn from a book, someone, or did you just started to make planes by figuring it out yourself?

      Hey Josias! Thanks a lot for your support! I've done some woodworking as a child. All my planemaking i was learning in my workshop, alone with google help :) Cheers!

    Hello I just subscribed Excellent videos....So regarding the flattening if the bed I see you use a chisel with a guide block and also sandpaper glued to the back of the iron. So no bed float is needed am I correct?

      Hey Keith! If you have a bed float you can use it. Piece of the sandpaper glued on the back of the chisel is not the only way for it. Cheers

      @@StavrosGakos Hello again Thank you for your reply ...also are you familiar with the blunt chisel method? and do you like it? Also it's good to know that I do not need to buy floats

    Before seeing your work I thought only Japanese can do such precision woodworking.

    Amazing craftsmanship, master Stavros! :) I enjoyed every minute. I tend to get excited to try my hand at this, but... seems easier than it is. Hehe!

      You should build one, but remember - it may be addicted 😁

    So this mouth-closing wedge... It has to align perfectly in line with the sole. Seems like a tall order with a material that changes when it rains.

      All wooden planes should be carefully storage, but rain in the workshop is not possibile :)
