So as well as having multiple sub-sets of episodes on the hand tool only (plus power drill) build we now have alternate path episodes which relate to the origin story but are also distinct. This is getting harder to follow than the MCU timeline.
It's like the Zelda timeline. At some point time will split and Ben will somehow build three guitars from this same piece of wood: one where he freaks out and carves a gouge in it with an angle grinder, one where he doesn't realize he used the drill press for a minor fix, and the true timeline where he finishes by making fire with a hand carved bow drill so he can burn the finish.
@@davedavem Absolutely true! At least at the end of HIS procrastination, Ben has something to show for it! All we have is a memory of somebody else making something useful!!
Very cool. There is a great quote in a Pratchett book about dwarves that always comes to mind when watching Ben work. It goes a little like: "All dwarves need is fire. Because with fire they can make simple tools. And with simple tools they can make complex tools. and with complex tools a dwarf can make whatever they want." Not trying to insinuate that Ben is dwarven in size or demeanor. I've never met him and cannot ascertain whether he is vertically challenged. But tool making out of necessity is something that always particularly fascinates me. (That said: Please hurry with the post guitar build! I long for its completion!^^)
This comment fills me with joy, you absolutely get it! And I love Pratchet too.. the next episode with actual guitar building lands on Saturday btw, I too can't wait to see it finished
34:25 - Ben, surely you know by now that things will ONLY EVER go wrong when people are watching! It doesn't matter how many times it works when you are alone, once you get before an audience (however big or small) it is GUARANTEED to go wrong!!
Kudos to Talitha 😂 👍 I watched the 6 hour livestream and she made this look easy. Love your work Ben, you have brilliant content on guitar building and it’s great to see the other aspects. I have had to modify many tools in the past for specific custom uses and it’s honestly a big part of any trade. It’s great seeing the process on video
As much as I love vintage tools and all…but I suspect Ben needs a new guitar challenge, so here it is: A black fretless full scale bass - black walnut, Blackwood, and ebony. Black hardware. Brass, stainless and mother of pearl inlay. I’d be super enthusiastic to watch that come to fruition.
we spoke a few months ago about putting scallops in a fret board and as fate would have it i had too have bypass surgery in both legs leaving me unable to do anything...you have so much skill and being able to watch your videos has kept my sanity ....thank you and keep up the great work
Keith, thank you for letting us keep you company while you recover. We hope you are able to get back to what you love soon. All our best - Team Crimson
Next episode Ben urgently needs a 4mm chisel so builds one from an old Rebate Plane! Loved the build and the process.. still waiting however, for the 90 hour Sunglasses series.
I was lucky enough to catch a fair chunk of the livestream and was able to watch the slow descent into madness for this project. Upside was we did get to see what was lurking in the nooks and crannies of Ben's workshop. It was fascinating to see how something like this was built way back.
PSA: If plane building is your thing, look up (and subscribe to!) Stavros Gakos on TH-cam. He's a Polish guy whose hobby is building planes to, well, build even more planes.
I think maybe a video where you make hand tools to make hand tools only using hand tools would be the logical next step here (and no incorporating drills for doing the simplest processes under any circumstances)
I watched the live stream of this build and I have to mention Talitha. Her editing adds so much to these videos. I'm taking nothing away from Ben, I have become a custom guitar maker because of him, but his sister is an absolute essential part of this and deserves so much more credit than she gets! My vote for the name is "The Crimson Carbon Fiber geometrical channel induction device" I joke! Bugs as in Bugs bunny. Can't name it Jessica! That's the name of the Awl.
Since you are a luthier Ben you'll probably appreciate this even if you don't use it. I think you should call this masterpiece of miniature rebate planing the "Stradiplanius." You've taken specialized miniature plane making to a whole new level. 😉
Nice little build Ben, I love that you include the whole process good or bad. Gives us all comfort to know that builds don't always come together first time as if by magic.
I don't think I would enjoy the process as much if I wasn't coming up against new problems to solve or if I was trying to hide them all the time.. and thank you, this is good to hear. there are people out there who only want to watch 10 minute videos with slick and fun to watch builds that come together as if by magic..
my miniature tool obsession huh? how did you know?? lol. um.. yes.. it's a deal :) I love the process and am going to make a whole collection of them moving forward. it will be a long lived series.
That is nit a pile of junk lol.. though, um.. well. Yes, Shred was a bit in the way and got somewhat sidelined.. however, watch this space! Shred will feature heavily on the channel very soon. In an exciting way!
You keep me coming back for such videos as this….where you make a plane from scratch. It’s delicate, aesthetically pleasing, and functional! I couldn’t be as creative with naming the plane, but I will leave you with a couple of thoughts. My first was Aero-plane, just because it soars above all other planes….and the second name would be Stradivarius, due to the fact that the wedge had a nice violin head shape. At any rate it is a beautiful plane!
I think a wedge made of a darker coloured wood would really bring the whole room together. It's a bit...ahem, plain... looking as it sits. To paraphrase Fisher's Shop, "add some unnecessary walnut"
A 6:30 h stream edited to 42 min efficient building is better to watch. And it shows the effort that is needed to have enough raw footage to make this edit. Being a TH-camr looks like 80 % setting camera positions, finding nice view angles and other hassle and only leaves 20% that is about the subject of tool building. Good work Ben, and whoever made the edit .
Talitha is my main editor and is incredible at it.. I normally give her far less footage than the stream though, she generally needs to cut out maybe 30 to 40% of what I film.. but yeah, a large amount of my time is spent moving cameras and thinking about the other thing I am making.. the video..
This is great stuff. It shows how devoted the luthier is. Making your own tools for a project just because, well…. It fits the project! You’re the best… crazy… luthier I know. But man do you make beautiful guitars!
I'm just putting some hand tools together for the next GGBO so it's built by hand and off to a great start by finding a rare collectable No4 Metril Ind Bras smoother for £5 on eBay in great shape probably worth £150 . Ele tric plane now put to bed. The hardest piece of metal you have in your shop is an Alnico 5 pickup magnet . I know that for a fact as I've just cut one in half lengthwise with a super thin ceramic grinding blade in my handgrinder which whips through bearings and drill bits no problem . This was done for a single coil pickup using a Gibson bobbin so I have a South Pole either side of the screws . Generally 1/8" (3.2 mm) but at 1/2 wide you have enough for a few small blades of various widths which will never need sharpening . I have A2 to hand for odd cutters which is easy to cut and shape and heat treat .
Thanks Ben, always love to see your passion for tools, I just happen to have a box full of these old hand planes, you're now made it not so scary to restore them, thanks for that !
As for the Leatherman dilemma, I'm the same. Custom built work cart (mahogany body with a cheap plywood/laminate top) full of every tool a custom cabinet maker could want.....reaches for his leatherman 9 times out of 10
I don't know how youtube messages work, but I am not opposed to making a few plane blades. I'm building my first electric ukelele and am really enjoying your channel. Transitioning from machinist to woodworker and back again is difficult, though!
In 100 years from now some future Ben will get absolutely excited about finding this 100 years old plane and probably make a video about it (or whatever the media of choice will be in the future). He'll think: Ah, handmade tools from the good old days, where people made things by hand, that will last for a lifetime :)
That's beautiful!! I want to try making one too! One tip I've noticed on my small planes- angle the tip of the wedge so it pushes the chips to one side instead of straight up. So it has a double bevel to it
So I made basically the exact same thing during the first lockdown. I never did get it to work how I had imagined. I can't tell you how satisfying it is to know what problems someone is going to have and watch them go through the exact same thought processes trying to solve them. I feel less stupid now.
I do like the enthusiasm for this build. For most of my projects, the journey is as important as the destination. As such, I do it the way I want to which is often not the easiest way. As for the left over chisel handle. Looks like you might have enough metal left to make a square awl out of it. Just a thought to still be able to reuse what you really liked. I know I use my square awl all the time.
As I said during the live stream, no one ever told me that files weren't used much for most wood working, so I use them a LOT. I love using them, and have a small but growing collection. I'd love to see a video on making handles for them, since so many I come across don't have any, and I HATE most manufactured ones that I've seen- primarily resin. It's not just aesthetics, either- I have very short, fat fingers placed on very wide palms. Besides, most are made to fit larger hands, overall, and become very uncomfortable to use very quickly. Some tricks on how to customize tools/handles to fit not only the use but the user would be AWESOME!
Things how they used to do it before mass production I would assume that as an apprentice, you would have to make all your tools. And with trial and error. All these beautiful tools are still with us today. Well done on another excellent video.
One thing the livestream really showed (other than just how many drawers you have) is how often you have to move the camera. Look forward to more in the future sir 🙂
Well done Ben, I totally understand where this comes from. Good custom tools precede excellent custom builds. Plus you got there, hopefully does the job originally intended for and others in the future ;)
As always ben. Very cool! Thanks for clearing up the angle question I had in my head. Also the building these thumb planes in multiple pieces. Rather than carving out of a solid chunk. The blade question has been stopping me from building one. I’ve been doing the same thing. Looking around at existing blades, files, tool steel...ect that I can sacrifice for the good of my tinkering brain. Again very cool! Thank you
More live streams on the cards for sure. I've just ordered a stream deck and will be setting up some permanent cameras so it is more a better experience all round.. and yeah. The edits make it look so much easier 😆

I believe I have seen that on many old wooden planes, but not all of them. It does appear to be somewhat more prevalent in the smaller ones like the wooden luthier's planes that I have come across.

i needed 3mm chisel once and i found that you can make a good chisel out of square needle file easy to make even on a sanding paper if its worn out or bench grinder so i think i`m gonna make router plane with blade like that :)

CCGCU, BCCU?
Do the bandsaw and grinder count because he isn’t actually building the guitar?
It's like the Zelda timeline. At some point time will split and Ben will somehow build three guitars from this same piece of wood: one where he freaks out and carves a gouge in it with an angle grinder, one where he doesn't realize he used the drill press for a minor fix, and the true timeline where he finishes by making fire with a hand carved bow drill so he can burn the finish.
I just looked up Procrastination in the Dictionary and there were no words, just a picture of Ben Crowe!
Is that the same picture they show next to Distraction?
squirrel!!
lol. 'tis true, so so true
It's amazing any of us neurodiverse types get anything done.
@@davedavem Absolutely true! At least at the end of HIS procrastination, Ben has something to show for it! All we have is a memory of somebody else making something useful!!
Just plane beautiful.
I'll show myself out.
Those Marples Tools are amazing, I got my first Marples chisels back in 1983 and I still have them in 2022. Thanx Ben, I'm digging this project.
an ebony wedge would be gorgeous in that plane. Amazing work, Ben.
I'm fascinated by small tools/small scale models so now I need to get me one of these planes!
I LOVE tiny tools too.. I'm hoping to make some miniature vices one day soon
Edifying AND entertaining! A rare duo indeed, except here.
“ I could have an external slot into which to insert my wedge ..,” - Oooh, MATRON! 👍👍😂😂😂
Ben: Super-glues plane together because he's in a rush to finish it
Also Ben: Designs and makes a custom plane instead of working on the guitar itself
Very cool.
There is a great quote in a Pratchett book about dwarves that always comes to mind when watching Ben work. It goes a little like: "All dwarves need is fire.

Crimson Custom Tool Tuesday. Ben makes a series of tools and makes terribly brilliant dad jokes every Tuesday.
It's a deal :)
Dear Ben you should name it "Tiny Weeny Wonder"
Gah I'm so glad I found this channel. It's one of the best ever!
Adding this to the “things I watch/listen to while assembling IKEA furniture in order to feel like I’ve accomplished something” playlist.
thank you Ben . the name should be Boxie made from box wood .
I think it should be called crimson 10, it's a rebate.
SUPER GLUE?!
;) That kind of a plane would look awesome with rosewood sides. Drool.
Since you are a luthier Ben you'll probably appreciate this even if you don't use it. I think you should call this masterpiece of miniature rebate planing the "Stradiplanius." You've taken specialized miniature plane making to a whole new level. 😉

Rampant rebate?.... it will get the job done quickly! 😉
'Snakes on a Plane' You can make a set of them that way, the Cobra, Python, Anaconda, Viper

Make the blocks around your own chisel's. Universal in mind, you will need to account for varied sizes. sm, m, lg etc.
I think a wedge made of a darker coloured wood would really bring the whole room together. It's a bit...ahem, plain... looking as it sits. To paraphrase Fisher's Shop, "add some unnecessary walnut"
That's an amazing little plane! Enjoyed watching, thanks. I am going to try and make a plane soon. Love a Fibonacci spiral 👍
Only smoothing planes need a narrow mouth. On a rebate plane you want a thick chip to go through without binding.
Another video that was a pleasure to watch. Nice one
Is it a Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Wooden Rebate Plane Machinie?
Also always nice to get a look at Bens drawers

Dad jokes RULE!!! Draw a face on it and call it Church Mouse because it nibbles the wood rather than chunks at a time
Nice! A little bit of violin rosin might help keep the blade from slipping.

"Time for some guitar finishing oil." Why yes, yes it is. Better order some more.
This was wonderful, I don't need a tiny rebate plane, I just want one...lol. Think I may have to make one of these. Thank you.

@@CrimsonCustomGuitars Great News 😉
Yes, it would seem that common sense did not tell this gentleman to not oil the wood to wood friction surfaces of a hand tool, at first. But he did figure it out for the redesign. And isn't learning a big part of design? Great job, sir.
Nice little tool you have there in the end. The slant to help the shavings curl outward is a nice touch. I believe I have seen that on many old wooden planes, but not all of them. It does appear to be somewhat more prevalent in the smaller ones like the wooden luthier's planes that I have come across. Especially the tiny molding and grooving planes.
I kinda like "Jessica Rabbit/Rebate Plane"; however, if you are not familiar with the movie "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" then it may not make sense. How about "Little Groovy" for a name for the new plane. And you can lay down a sweet groove number when the guitar is complete to honor the new tool.
The wedge looks like the side of a violin. Call it the "Violin wedge".
I really enjoyed that. Now I feel like you need to make a nice little set of mini planes with a box!
I can get behind that!
Very nice little build Sir.
Glad you like it, thank you. I enjoyed getting a full project completed in half a day tbh. very fun!
Applause sounds out for Talitha, the edit from the 6+hrs live is tremendous. The content is excellent too, Ben. Talitha needs to sneak in on screen Editor Comments while editing 😉 Credit is needed too. Thank you again for another episode.
Couldn't agree more, she really does!
"You shouldn't rush this kind of thing... but." Will be written on your headstone.

Thank you, me too. it was a blast to build a plane finally!
Nicely done, i enjoyed that.
Thank you kindly!
I'd call it Tex, as in (said in a posh voice) "I had a Tex rebate of a ties and pynds." Distracted minds eh! Who'd have one?
Dude, you never need a excuse to build a tool not to mention a hand plane.
you know what? I agree, more incoming!
Awesome. Can't wait to see it being used on the guitar :)
Thank you Ben
Already filmed, it should be live within the week. Thanks for watching!!

I never thought I’d be so quick to ask someone if they’d let me clean their drawers. 🤔
i needed 3mm chisel once and i found that you can make a good chisel out of square needle file easy to make even on a sanding paper if its worn out or bench grinder so i think i`m gonna make router plane with blade like that :)
oh yes! really good idea, I didn't even consider using a file once through the hour plus hunt for a quick and easy blade.
