- In this video I use this Japanese hand plane that was gifted to me by the carpentry store in Naas. I tune it and use it to take some crazy thin shavings.

Can really see the improvement in this video. Full thumbnail nice angles framed well. You have come far in just a couple of months
Thank you so much. I really appreciate your comment,
@@EoinReardon yeah your quality has gone up nice to see you care about your audience
Eoin is a fast learner!
You make me want to spend all my money on planes
That’d be the dream.
Thats the plane and simple choice here
Planes used to be ridicously common. I've got like 10 very usable old wooden planes for 10€ each. They just needed a bit of sharpening and a flat sole again 👍
Have done it and still doing it ever since watching Eoin. Already living paycheck to paycheck I might aswell have some good tools to have fun with

I do like the Japanese carpentry I must admit, the self-closing joints they make are something else. They're some thin auld shavings there, they'll make your cabinet scraper embarassed to be a cabinet scraper, I reckon they'd be sound as a sort of woodsman's Rizla as well
Glad to know I'm not the only one who thought the shavings looked like kingies
The way he says "we" makes me feel like I'm working there alongside him.
My grandfather was a carpenter and I spent all my childhood and early teenage years working wood with him. He taught me everything about tools and how to sharpen them and maintain them in the best conditions. I just discovered your videos and I can't stop watching them. It brings me so much joy and beautiful memories of the amazing time I spent with my grandfather. I had forgotten how much I love the smell of those wood shavings! Can't wait to watch your next video. Thank you for sharing, Eoin 🤗
Eion, thank you for your videos, so calming and relaxing watching and listening to you, keep up the good work ❤
Cheers.
Appreciate that big time
@@EoinReardon no, thank you 🙏 your videos are so good for my mental health!
I love listening to him talk and I have no idea why
I love this Irishman
I have a bunch of old planes box up when we moved. Can't wait to get my barn built so I can get my work shop back. Learned a lot from you. Thanks you can always teach an old dog new tricks (67).
Man, iv been going through alot and honestly how calming you are and how enthusiastic you sound has really helped me get through things
I love my Japanese plane! Working on the pull stroke is much easier on your back and shoulders and also allows you to work from a seated position instead of standing. Can be a great advantage for someone (like me) who is disabled.
Thank you for all the great videos! Loving these long form ones. Good luck with uni you can do it!
I was watching "the carpenter life" he is an American in Japan learning traditional carpentry. And visited the craftsman making plane blades and plane bodies. It was interesting to see two different craftsmen working on a plane. But they both leave the last bit of adjustment on the plane for the user to dial in for use. There is a micro plane and cabinet scraper they use for adjusting the sole of the wooden body. But I've never seen the Japanese to oil the wood body just the blades.They like the dry wood body to glide over.
Your videos are so interesting and relaxing. I get so inspired after to fix broken things in my house, even just mend clothes or pick watercolour over digital art. Keep it up!!
I have one of those, thanks for your detailed explanation on setting it up. I've got another for shaving bonito "Katsuo" fillet blocks that are hard as wood. Your sharpening explanation will hopefully help me get good shavings from that instead of dust. Cheers!
Great job! 👍🏼
It’s so wonderful how we came up with such simple technology yet it works so beautifully.. easy thing about this world is if it’s not broken, why bother fixing it! I love that you focus on hand tools, so entertaining and I really feel like I’m learning something valuable!!
Love your videos lad! You could be an actor in movies or tv.
It’s so much more logical to me to use the pull stroke than the push stroke in woodworking. I don’t own any Japanese planes currently but I do own a Japanese pull saw that I love.
Joiner from Germany here, we will set our planes differently from this method. We glance along the bottom of the plane and eyeball how far it sticks out, then you hit the blade until it is even and sticking out just right. It takes a while to get the hang of but since most planes are made from wood here around you have to set them every time you use them. Becomes second nature real quick and it takes mere seconds after a while. I prefer wood planes because they are much lighter than steel ones and when running a plane along a piece of wood a couple hundred times a day, that adds up quickly. As a bonus you can run maintainance on them in your wood working shop.
I just stumbled across your channel, and am so happy I did. Your work reminds me of working with my grandpa on the farm in 1980. Thank you Eoin for sharing your skills.
Love the video very informative and very fun
You've stepped up your game with this vid Eoin!
Great angles, properly mic'ed up, lovely lighting.
I'll miss the cheeky phone being propped up, but I'm far more excited for what's to come.
Please keep up the great work 🤙🏼
the quality of everything about this video is great! incredibly relaxing and informative content thank u for doing what u do
Incredible work, didn't even know about any of this and i still feel super impressed, i love these videos :)
Great video. Enjoyed the look into the delicate art of Japanese planes
Kezurouki is the name of the competitions he's talking about with the wood shavings. It's crazy watching
you have gotten me into wood and technology thank you! and great video 💪🏼
I have a plane (the normal metal kind) kicking around, I've never mastered how to use it properly... you've inspired me to dust it off and have another go!
Thanks for such an awesome video! These are all things I want to know and learn more about! Love what you do, keep it up!
cheers lad, thanks for the support, will do.
The push plane you showed there, I picked one up the other day and used it for the first time last night. Took it apart to see how it worked, how the heck to I get it lined up well now? :D B&Q did me dirty with a good deal, but no instructions ^_^
Your videos are always so interesting educational to me 😊
Smashin jumper dude, nice video too👍
Pretty innovative workbench light
Great and informative Eoin!
I got my caprtenty and joinery qualifications as a young man but ended up as a chef because of, life. I don't want to go off to commercial woodworking but you are absolutely reopening a passion I had as a child/young man, I have very few tools and it is quite difficult to come across (decent) old hand tools as I've discovered as I look for them second/third/fifth hand, as there's no way I could ever afford even basic tools new, but I'm slowly trying to build enough of a collection to be able to do some actual wood work again! ::)
I love the longer form videos and thank you so much for reawakening an old passion, I don't like power tools but you have reminded me that I don't HAVE to use them, I can truly build with my hands... once I can finally get some proper tools, I can't make much with a rust based, snapped hand saw, a snapped hammer, no materials and a leather punch.... but one day, so again, thank you friend, from New Zealand ::)
I'm in the same boat. It can be really tough to work up from nothing with no capital. I've found Rex Krueger's series, "woodwork for humans" to be pretty helpful and inspiring. I know its not kosh to talk about other channels but I think this is an educational/inspirational community, so I hope no one minds.
@@ScottCalvinsClause I'm sure Noone will mind, thanks alot friend! I'll check it out ::)
I like this guy talented makes me wanna have my own workshop
Ooof really nice job mate 👍🏼 makes me want to start lol
The more you play with it, the easier it is to set. I have an antique western wooden plane that I can set up in seconds to take super thin shavings. And I’m a complete amateur. It’s a ton of fun!
Forget the chisels, get a nice set of Japanese pull or draw saws. Wonderful tools.
You make great content. Thank you. What's the most exotic wood you've worked?
Who needs a receipt printer when you have a Japanese plane?
I've been interested in Japan and Japanese traditional carpentry for years. I love the sound of a plane shaving that ribbon off the wood. I haven't tried Japanese planes but would love to get one. I've read they leave such a nice finish you don't need to do any sanding before finishing work. I'd love to get a good set of chisels from Japan. Love the look of them.
Now I want to pull out what I do have and make something. Thanks for sharing your videos.
love this
That... is a nice sweater indeed
Really cool thing
Needed this video about a month ago, bought a nice kanna about a year ago and was finally setting everything up. Got the job done in the end but it would have been helpful to have one more video to watch
I think what is more important is the finish left on the wood. I have seen a difference between my old Stanley and a more "modern" Lie Nielsen A2 blade which didn't quite give as good a finish to be honest.
I'm a new sub and though your hard work does not go unnoticed, I'm sorry but I can't help but simp 😅 any ways, I adore your work (I'm a builder, not cabby). You put so much effort into everything, and effort shows in the finished product❤
Love from New Zealand 🇳🇿
Ps. Your sweater collection is wicked
Soon Eoin will be smooth as a baby
Love your videos. They always make me think if I should quit my software dev job and become a carpenter. One question though: where is that pullover from? It’s awesome
You've made your own extra long Rizlas.
More close up shots would be a game changer. Great video non the less. Your going places for sure. Fair play good sir
Been a year, dunno if anyone told you this but dont seem anyone mentioned in these coments so, maybe not. There is a particular reason for that pulling technique which you can benefit. Their planing tables/set ups usually involve having the piece sloped down so that you can plane with a little help from gravity. The blocky nature can also help to use some techniques for pushing if you really need to where you equally de-emphasize where you distribute the power through your whole bother more evenly rather than emphasizing arm muscles (less tiring overall), while also using help from gravity and body weight, and/or skeletal strength too.
Nice sweater
You fulfill every positive Irish stereotype
Did you invest in a better camera? (and mic but I can see that in your neck) It looks pretty good definitely better then the vertical phone camera lol
I'd suggest an air tight box maybe to help keep the wood as stable as can?
It's worth remembering that a lot of Japanese tool technology can be explained by their relative lack of fuel and iron ore, leading to the need to economize on quality steel.
Just got shavings at 0.12 thou (3.05 micron) with an L-N 62 and an 01 steel blade sharpened to 0.3 micron lapping film and the stropped on untreated leather.
Idk anything about woodworking but I came for his accent
Keep up the great work. What part of Ireland are you in? I went there a few years ago and it is one of the best countries I’ve visited.
Co cork I think , what did you like about my country of ireland
Jealous of your accent 😂 great video!
With japanese steel I am not surprised
Must not be much sunshine in Ireland. I'm Dutch and that's about as white as it gets, but I'm easily several shades darker. Get some sun, if you can; it is good for you!
I kind of like the idea of pulling sharp instruments than pushing. Much safer, I'd wager.
Hello, I am curious if you sell any of your work. I'm getting into primitive camping and love your craftsmanship. With that being said I'm needing a good camp hatchet and would love to buy one from you
Eh Eoin, I got a great topic idea for your next video, making my Eoin Reardon signature Ash Hurley 36” Kilkenny style Hurl 😂
I want one
Would you use these shavings to seal the endgrains on a project?
Can’t beat county Naas 😉
Why did you take some off the sole of the plane?
what drand is your diamond stone and holder
Juat to clarify, as far as i can tell the record is 3 microns (micrometers), which is actually 3 thousand nanometers. for reference if it was 3 nanometers, that would only be about 100 hydrogen atoms thick. You got to 25 micrometers thick with your final shave in the video, so the record is about a tenth the thickness
you spoke of moisture potentially warping the wooden body of the plane, but would soaking the wooden body in something like varnish work to protect it from moisture? That way you'd only need to sand down the bottom a bit to your get it back to snuff again, perhaps rub a bit of oil on for good measure and it would be fairly well protected against moisture warping the body.
@Conquering Death Yeah, that would work I think. Linseed oil is more dilute than varnish, so would penetrate the fibres better I think
Naas, county Kildare?
As an engineer who uses micrometers. We say it as my crom it ter
But it my be my geordie accent

This tool turns wood straight into paper
Small recommendation. Never hit the iron, use a small mallet on the front or back surface of the body to seat the iron and adjust it.😉
Also, your Japanesse pronounciation was FAR from the worst I've ever seen, quite decent.😁👍
To adjust the sideways movement in case it's not parallel/even, Japanese masters hit the back corners of the body, rather than the steel. Usually you just sight it in, works quite well with a little practice.😊
How are you doing Eoin? Is there anything I can pray for you about
I wonder if there is an actual use for wood shavings like that? I mean they're paper thin so perhaps ltierally as paper? Good campfire kindling at least...
Good guess, it was used for both 👍
Well, good for composting too
when you use a katana as a woodworking tool youve got it made
very interesting vids....here's a YT video I found on wood shavings in Japan...incredible
"Please take your receipt"
Old fashion way to make toilet paper
3nm eh
This is plane jk
I mean no disrespect what you ever but your like the Alec Steele of wood working two two would get together and make something
