This video was a lifesaver...
I'm telling you, you are my new favorite youtube woodworker, love your teaching style, love how you keep it real all the time!!!!! Great video Rob!!!
I bought my first Wood River hand plane and used this video to set it up. I bought the 5 ½ and I think it was the right one for me. I have been using my grandfathers wood plane (15” x 2-¾” with 2-⅛” blade) since he died in 1990. I recently restored it, tuned and sharpened the blade using your methods and it has worked great. I started following my grandfather around in the late 50’s in his garage shop. I enjoy your videos immensely and your ramblings about BYU. Many of my cousins went there and it makes me think of them. Making projects out of wood (I love to make wood hinge boxes) allows me the time to think about the person I am building for and the memories we share. Rob, I share your enthusiasm for perfection but not your gift. Thank you for your teaching method and spirit!
I bought one of these recently and I love it.
Thank you for this! I unboxed my new WR jack plane a bit ago, took it apart to degrease it, and promptly got confused about how the blade assembly went back together. Luckily, I found this video! Great sharpening tips, too! Stoked to get mine up and running.
Cosman, the information you share is so spot on. You are amazing.
Hi Rob.
I thoroughly enjoy your plane blade sharpening; both box to bench and touch up. Your videos are cut and dried, easy to follow and educational.
Thank you.
Chuck
I'm sold. You are a realist.meaning a real world worker, your skill is obvious. You make woodworking look easy, and I think that is the joy.
I was thoroughly impressed with how 'ready to go' my #4 was. Just bought it and was thinking i had hours to go, flattening the sole and working through a million other things. Turned out to just need a quick edge put on the blade and removal of all the packing grease. I then turned it's attention to my new, and first, workbench top. Along with a classic #5 scrub, it made quick work of flattening the top once the rough work was done.
Rob thank you so much for this video. I just got my first Woodriver plane it's a number 6 just like this one on your demo which is wonderful. This is my first quality plane and I'm really excited to get started. This is a tool I really need to finish my new workbench top. Everything looks good so far. Thanks again!
I just purchased # 5 Wood river hand plane . I am new at this and I was skeptical about Wood river . Followed Rob’s simple and clear instructions and my plane in about 10 minutes I was cuttings shavings probably less than 1/1000 . I am impressed how good it works.
Hey Rob, yeah I just did purchase a cabinet makers Woodriver bench plane set consisting of a #3,4,5 & 6. Just delivered yesterday. This video helps a lot in the prep. I just need to practice using them, thanks for that. Nicely done as is all your videos
Just bought one today! Can't wait to use it.
Just received mine that was a Christmas gift, was backordered and took 2 months to get here. Can’t wait to get it going, I’ve got all the stones.
Just got thr number 6 yesterday. Looking forward to learning hand tools. I'm tired of power tools, though very grateful for them, and want to feel closer to my projects. Thanks for this. Will probably get the #4 and shoulder, maybe low angle before it's over. Just got a Veritas dove tail saw. Will save for yours down the road. Thanks Rob for information.
I bought a Woodriver #7 and have to admit I didn't get this level of performance out of it. I would call myself a novice to intermediate woodworker and truth be told, after watching this video, I didn't set it up right. I'm going to follow what you did here to get it sorted. Thanks Rob!
Dude is an fn BEAST.
I love this stuff.
Best Video when it comes to Plane Setting on the Net. Easy to understand. Thank You!
Thank you Rob. Very helpful
I'm impressed by the quality. If my kit wasn't complete, I'd buy one. Love a No. 6 too!
Thanks Rob.
Thanks, Rob.
I'm shopping for a couple planes, right now. This looks to be a great deal. Thanks!
I used this plane in robs booth at the Hamilton wood show and it was sweet. Everything felt so nice to hold and use unfortunately I didn't have the cash to buy one.
Thanks for de-mystifying the plane Rob, you are a natural-born teacher.

멋지다! > wonderful ..< korea>
Hi Rob, Great videos, I wish you in Ca, SF. to take a class.
I recently purchased 3 Woodriver Planes and the sharpening stones you recommended with the ruler and honing oil, following you're technique the results I'm achieving are wonderful after only a week of practice. These are the first hand planes I've ever owned. I must have made a mistake with the #7 jointer plane, some how I made some nasty burs on the chip breaker. All of the other planes have a flat edge at the front of the the knife but the jointer plane has a different edge. Do have any tips on how to properly resurface these chip breakers that come on the new #7 planes? Thanks so much.
Rob, I have learned so much from your channel, I am just starting woodworking and you have been a wealth of information. I like the Japanese Carpentry tradition and like kanna, pull saws, shoji screens etc. Japanese have always been phenomenal at producing quality steel, and people always say how their laminated plane iron/chisel design is amazing, which I agree. However, with your videos of western planes taking equally as thin shavings, I have been convinced to throw several of these into my arsenal, mostly due to the fact that they can be much cheaper than premium kanna, and considerably easier to setup and maintain.
My question to you is, what are your thoughts on kanna planes? Clearly you don't seem to use them, but I would like to know your honest opinion about them.
So watchable- it’s all pearls
Thank you Rob, what angle are you sharpening the primary bevel to and then the secondary and tertiary bevel? Thank you
Do you have any videos on properly flattening "Chip Breakers"?
Great video. How thick is the steel rule?
Very informative. Thank you.
Another great video Rob, I really appreciate the effort you put into these. I notice you did your final de-burr with the 16K stone, rather than a leather strop... is there a reason for your preference?
Good to know, thanks!
Just ran across your you-tube videos. I'm now a subscriber. Thanks for the info. I'm on the fence on purchasing a jointer (I do have a planner) . But after watching this, perhaps I don't need one. I would actually prefer not to have one. You mentioned a #6 but I see you also use it to plane board faces. If I'm only going to use it for edges would a #5 be ok?
Well presented. As a hobbyist, I wish I could persuade myself to spend about $ 300 on this beauty.
LOL! Seems like we're both "Temporarily separated from our funds".
Thanks for the video!! I just bought this yesterday and it's my first plane. I am having trouble getting the protective oil off, there are drip marks everywhere, is there something I can use to remove it from the blade/chip stopper and the bottom and sides of the sole?
I have already tried dry paper towels, but it didn't take much off
Thanks!!
Hello interesting video as all your videos. I have a question with respect of minute 5. Are you using the rule to make a microbevel or is there other reason?
Yes, he explains it on another video: th-cam.com/video/6nxKVpVmXGI/w-d-xo.html
I have an old 150 grit diamond plate from my japanese knife dealer, and it doesn't cut nearly as fast as this 1000 grite stone...either my abrasive is totally gone, or this trend plate is much better...probably both.
Rob i fancy buying the 5.5 jack do you know roughly what uk customs charge for it in uk
I'm curious...in a later video you stated the 5 & 1/2 was the one you would recommend over the 6. Also, in that same video you state these blades already come razor sharp? Can you please explain. Looking to buy my first plane and was going to go with the 5 & 1/2 and block plane by woodriver but now I see in this video you are recommending the 6 over the 5 & 1/2. Maybe doesn't make that big of a difference....maybe it does. Thanks Rob.
hi Garry, if you plan to expand your collection in time, go with the 5 1/2 and at some point buy the #7 jointer. If you dont want to spend anymore or are limited, the #6 at 18" is a good cross between the 5 1/2 and the 7. Not long enough to be a great jointer but it will do the job fairly well. At the same time it is manageable on the bench as a general purpose however the 5 1/2 is a little more comfortable in that role. Both work well on the shooting board, the 6 a bit better due to length and weight.
What would you do if the lateral adjustment lever wasn't moving freely (like you tested at 2:20)? I seem to have one on a new plane that's very difficult to move side to side, even with the blade assembly removed
Bend it downward, then upward, then back into place. This tends to loosen up the pivot point.
Just bought a 5 1/2 jack and knew I needed to see your video again. Thanks for the refresher.
Why is #6 your go to? Thought it was the 5 1/2.
Might be an older video. The 5 /2 came out a few years after the 6.

Nice Chinese plane :) I've ordered the same today but with another label.
*****
Made in Taiwan, though :) However, I'm waiting for the delivery impatiently
Quang Sheng probably ,same maker. WR are simply rebranded Chinese planes by QS.They ARE good quality though.,but Veritas are not more expensive and they are Canadian .
What's the sweet wood-handled screwdriver you're using? I love it.
Those are made by Lie-Nielsen
Great job! Could you explain why you have to put extra pressure towards the sides for two seconds?
To CAMBER the blade. i.e. put a slight round on it to prevent track marks on a flat surface as the corners of the blade digs in.
surface of mirror is best for rule ;)
Do you have bevel up or down on your planes, cheers
Bevel always down unless it's a jack or block plane
Ah thanks! May I ask another question. I've got an old used Stanley no.4 which I'm currently trying to refurbish. The surface of the frog where the iron is supposed to rest and the small back surface of the mouth are not perfectly in the same (mathematical) plane. Is the iron supposed to touch the back surface of the mouth or shall the iron only be supported by the frog. thanks in advance
Logic should tell you that the iron must fully contact the frog and should make contact nowhere else on the plane body/frame.
P.S. This guy never bothers to answer questions in the comments.
👍👍👍👍👍
I followed your steps and think I turned a screw too far one way or the other because I can’t get the blade far enough up to get a good cut.
RobCosman.com Quick question, is the edge of the cutting blade supposed to be parallel to the smaller blade or pushed up a mm or two? When I offset them a tiny bit it cut like butter through these American elm slabs I have and took the chainsaw marks out in just a few passes.
RobCosman.com ps thanks for the informative videos.
i was ready to pull the trigger on one of these just to find out the prince went up almost 50 bucks... what's up with that??? :(
Why are you uesing the ruler on the diamond stone?
*****
Thank you for the answer. But two more questions! Can you tell me if the cuttng performance is affected because of the back not being totally plane?
And do you use this method for your chisels too or just plane irons?
Chem1456 Has has to
Rob why do you prefer the #6 over the #7, thanks.
***** Thank you for your reply, I have the 4 1/2 and the low angle block, just purchased the 7, watched the video and questioned myself before I removed the 7 out of the box. Eventually I will get the 5 or 5 1/2. Again thanks for getting back to me. I enjoy your videos and instructional's. If your ever coming near Philadelphia let me know it be great to attend one of your seminars.
Я бы сказалл тут думать нечего " Lie Neilson"!!!
i wish i have the financial freedom to be an expert woodworker 😢😢😢
neil bercasio go to antique and flea markets got a no7 for 75 that was very easy to service to great condition
Veritas and Lie-Neilsen. Consider spending a little more a preserving the manufacturing infrastructure in North America.
good thing you had the glasses on, that plane looks very dangerous
Why are people complaining about the oil . I's a whole lot better than getting a RUSTY new plane.
I bought one of these planes .I was critical of them once .BUT ,I am here to tell you it is easily comparable to any other premier brand and Rob Cosman's service from his shop is UNBEATABLE.You will not get a better plane even if you spend $200 more as I have foolishly done ..That's all.And no ,I do not know or am not affiliated with Rob Cosman .
that is a lot of oil
Inexpensive????? How much money do you think we have???
It’s a relative term. In comparing it to more expensive options, it is inexpensive.
