Rob gives a brief description of the function of a jointer compared to a smoother. GIves some reasons why this might be missing from your kit and why you should consider it. Woodriver from Woodcraft.
I love my power tools, but occasionally I wonder how some of my old furniture was made and shaped before the days of power tools. I’m learning how in the Cosman shop from a modern-day master in his TH-cam classroom. This is fun!
Grat explanation of the Jointer. I have a #7 clone made many years ago when Craftsman was still a real tool company. Bought old, used and in bad shape but a week of so of work brought it back to life and able to pull a .001 shaving from some rough sawn boards (6/4 x 10')I get from a friend for a project. Love the videos.
Hi Rob, this was a great video on the #7 plane. I am considering adding one to my collection. I had in mind before I seen this video the #8 lie-Nielsen which is a bit bigger and heavier but now I have confused myself. Which would you recommend? Thanks Rob
I want to get me one of these to add to my collection, would you recommend the Woodriver one? or spend more and get a Lie-Nielsen one? is there any difference apart from price?
Rob knows more about handplanes than I probably will ever know. But if interested in my take. A 6 is commonly used with a camber iron more for initial flattening and fast stock removal then finished with a jointer 7 or 8. I would get the jointer first a 6 is to short to get a flat board. My 6 is only used occasionally my 7 and 8 (which I prefer ) touches every board I glue together.

Nice look at that No. 7 Rob. Thanks.
Thanks Rob, I love mine

Just my thoughts on this. I have both grab the 8 most of the time. I love the weight powers through hard woods.
Hello, Do you make 25 or 30 degress bevel blade when you uses the shooting board?
Could I make do with a number 6, as I’m a smaller person and No 7 is just so long? Thx
Got a used one for $20, I would like new but don't use it that often.

Rob helped design the wood river planes so he will probably recommend them first as he is bias towards them,
👍
Hi Rob, if someone already has a No. 5 (or 5 1/2), would you suggest going with the No. 7 over the 6? Thanks!

Go with the 7, the 6 is too close in length to the 5 1/2.
@@RobCosmanWoodworking Thanks, Rob! That's exactly what I did. Loving it so far! :-)
