I love it how one plane helps you build another, a second helps you build a third, etc. I began working with beech recently. It is such a nice wood for hand tools. I now understand better why it is so often used for hand planes. I enjoy your channel! Thanks for your posts!
Your planes are a work of art. I'm trying to learn and pick up things as you show them because I would like to build my own planes or some as gifts. Thanks Stavros!

As a newbie I could have watched this all day. I now know why competent carpenters often bought their hand tools instead of making them themselves. Everything about the video was perfect.
I love how every tool you make comes with a sample of your blood, in case we want to clone you so we have more awesome craftsmen making tools! great video :)
I’d love to see a more detailed video on how to orient, cut and assemble the boxwood (or applewood, persimmon, etc) boxing; also, the dimensions for the boxing insert. Great videos!
Your skills are so very good and each step is completed so accurately and quickly! I would love to see you build a boxed 1/4” or 3/8” grooving plane. I want to try one myself but watching an expert would give me much experience to draw from.
Bois ou métal, la matière prend vie entre vos doigts. Je ne me lasse pas de regarder vos vidéos. Merci. Pensez vous faire une vidéo sur le poinçon à votre nom, et aussi sur ces râpes très effilées, genre scie à guichet ? Je suis persuadé que c'est votre fabrication. Encore merci pour le partage.
@@StavrosGakos- I speak English very badly, but I will try to have it translated by Google. First, I have a lot of fun watching your videos, everything seems so easy. Wood or metal seem to live in your hands. I was asking you if you are thinking of making a video on the making of the punch with your name, and also on the very tapered graters, like a counter saw, that you use. I think it's from your manufacture and it would be interesting to see how you proceeded. Thank you again for sharing and my best wishes for this new year.
can you use this to make some grooves in the middle of a board.. like the width of the groove equal to thickness of this BOX frame... and maybe clamp a straight edge as support...
Stavros....Some people say working with hand tools is very slow.... but I had to play the vid at 0.5 playback speed just to keep up with you !! 😂😂 From the Emerald Isle 😎👍☘️
Well man, i have asked you a question a few hours ago. But i think i have decided now, after see this video. Im going to make sone of my tools, to become more "Stravos"
What type of metal did you make your plane floats out of? What type of steel I should say. Amazing work as always. Inspired another plane maker. I build them in the traditional way without laminating but hope to be half as good as you someday.
Do you make these tools for yourself, or for sale - is it a business ? Also, why did you cut the applewood in diagonal sections, and then glue them together to make the end bit ? I am learning woodworking after retiring and thing your skills are truly amazing. I am so glad I found your channel, it's informative, relaxing and well made.
I make them mostly for myself, from time to time i selling few planes. I cut applewood in diagonal sections because boxing should have grain direction pararel to the bed. That makes it way more durable for friction. Thank you :)
Thanks Nicolas! Yes, it is hand cranked bench drill. It is polish copy (CFN) of Ixion hand drill press. I have to restore it first but you will see it :) regards!
Amazing work! I'm slowly building up my skill set in the hope of one day making a few planes. Quick questions if you have time, why applewood boxing? I thought fruit woods were soft and so would make a poor choice? You obviously know more here than I do so was I wrong about fruit woods? Also, why bother with boxing on a rebate plane at all as I thought it was used in molding planes to reinforce parts which stood proud of the surface? (Newbie questions, I'm sure. Sorry about that!) Thanks for you video, I learned a lot!
13:29 The apple wood boxing set at the bedding angle is visually absolutely stunning. Does the forward angle of the boxing end grain cause any chip out of the boxing during usage of the plane? Is this a compromise made for looks verses operation? Can you provide any information on the slotting plane shown at 3:04? Where did you get that? Love your videos, glad you returned to making tools, hope you make many more.
Thanks Tim! The boxing is more durable for friction than the sole of the plane. That allows to keep the profile of the sole for very long time. I made that slotting plane, it was simple project :) Regards!
Stavros Gakos: exelent work Stavros, congratulalion. Just if you can tell me, I could not work out what sort of steal you use for the cutting blade, neither if you heat treated it. Many thank before hand.
Congratulations, very nice came out. You need a wooden vise, maybe we can make a collaboration this summer as I currently work on a 43 mm tap and die set for wooden screw. ☺
Thank you Daniel :) Yes, i need it. Actually i'm making new and preety thick top for my workbench, when i finish it i'll make front and back vices with heavy duty metal screws. But thanks for you offer :) regards!
A few questions: why hide glue and not normal glue? Why is the box stronger when parallel to the bed? Could you make some day a tour of all the planes you've got and explain very briefly what they are used for? Thank you very much for your videos!
Hey Jonas, hide glue is traditional glue and allows to remove the whole boxing (after heating) to repair. Every end grain (or even mitre side) is more durable for friction and will keep the edge of the sole for long time, so the plane will work propertly. One day i'll make that kind of video. Regards!
Hello Stavros, I really appreciate your work. It has become an inspiration to continue my little workshop. I do not have a lot of tools, but I want to make my own. Would you help us to know how to make a simple or regular continental or horn style hand plane from zero?
Hey Jacob! Ithank you :) i'm not a fan of that kind of planes, but my buddy Łukasz showed how to make that horn. Here is the link th-cam.com/video/aDaHvxpWeeI/w-d-xo.html Cheers!
@@StavrosGakos Thank you so much, I enjoyed the video a lot. Instead of the continental or horn style plane, Would you consider making an Infill-Norris-style hand plane, for those of us that cannot afford one? I have been a woodturner for many years, but now I want to start doing more square things, so I want to make my own tools for hand woodworking. Thank you for the inspiration you give to all of us! Happy New Year.
19:25 - When it comes to wood pornography, I believe this is what is referred to as 'the money shot' (at least as far as I'm concerned). Or perhaps 19:43 ? Great skills !

Nothing better than watching a handtool being formed from a handtool. Beautiful work!
I'm glad you like it :) thank you!
Now that's craftsmanship!
this profession was forgotten it's great to see people willing to show how to make a tools like this person does thank you
Thank you :) it was my first boxing ever and it was pleasure to make. Regards!

Wonderful! The applewood boxing is really lovely. Thank you.
Man, I forgot how neat that little grooving plane you showed in the beginning was
Thanks Stavros! Another beautiful plane! Keep up the good work. I hope you have a lot more planes in your head.
As a newbie I could have watched this all day. I now know why competent carpenters often bought their hand tools instead of making them themselves.
Everything about the video was perfect.
Thank you Mark :) it take some time but it is fun to build
Stavros Gakos Just watched it again, your work really is very special.
A W E S O M E ! ! This is a beautiful one...The way you did it and the way you used it!!! Thanks a lot for sharing!!!
Thanks and you're welcome :)
Excellent Stavros. Many thanks for sharing.
Thank you! You're welcome :)
Bravo! well done. The sound at the end was perfect.. Wow
Thanks a lot Bill :)
Another beautifully executed plane, Stavros. Your skills are impressive as usual. Thanks for the video!
Thanks Michael!

Thank you :)
Have you, already; or would you consider, publishing a book on plane making for those of us who would like to follow in your footsteps?
Thanks Dale! No i didn't :)
Mogę godzinami oglądać jak tworzysz te narzędzia! Świetne!

Thanks, maybe one day
here's a tip use a pencil eraser on the diamond plate to clean it, cuts better and last longer
Thanks, i'll try it for sure
Si señor!!! I have tried and you are right! Which lubricante do you use?
@@SasonEyRusually wd40 but i like sharpening without lubricante.
Nice ! Thank you !!!
Thank you :)
Perfect work`'¡¡¡¡¡
Thank you!
Beautiful.
Thank you :)
Very interesting. What is the wood you to make the tool and used on what wood. Wonseful.
Thank you! I use beech and apple to build this plane. At the end od the video i was making rabbet on pine wood.
Well man, i have asked you a question a few hours ago. But i think i have decided now, after see this video. Im going to make sone of my tools, to become more "Stravos"

Thanks for you video, I learned a lot!
Thank you! Apple wood is preety hard. Boxing was used for rebate/rabbet planes also, that makes planes life longer :) Thanks for watching!
Yes, apple wood is quite hard and great for tool making. A lot of old hand planes and saws used apple for handles.
13:29 The apple wood boxing set at the bedding angle is visually absolutely stunning. Does the forward angle of the boxing end grain cause any chip out of the boxing during usage of the plane? Is this a compromise made for looks verses operation?

You saw straighter at Eighty degree up angle, than I do with a jig!
I’d love to see a timer showing how long this took start to finish!
Me too.
Beautifull job ! Btw, what glue you use in this video ?
