For posterity A beautiful hand made plane like that deserves to have your name carved into it. A craftsman should always be remembered for his workmanship.
Chris, I really enjoy your videos. You seem like the kind of person I’d like to be around, you seem so patient. The world moves so fast, and watching you take the time to do some of these projects is fascinating - thank you for sharing!
So great to see these types of videos again, Chris! That's what got me started into more hand tool work years ago: watching one of your earlier restoration videos. Thanks again!
It turned out beautifully. I like the look of the razee style planes, and it does seem to help with your tote hand being lower and closer to the workpiece.
Well done! Ready for another 100 years of use. I love that snick of a sharp plane blade on wood. I you’re not careful, it’s easy to plane away your wood just listening to the sound.
Wow, this turned out insanely beautiful. I think you improved on the original design without taking it too far. Good call on leaving the 'frame' part raw! Also a nice touch that you shortened it using hand tools only. One question in that context: a lot of people take extreme care not to get metal filings on their workbench. You don't seem to mind... any comment on that? Thanks for the great vid, I really liked the pace. Not too fast, not too slow... excellent!
Thank you for the kind words. I don’t make a habit of doing a lot of metal work around my work bench but occasional light work doesn’t bother me too much. I also don’t have a dedicated metal area right now. I just make sure I wipe everything off really well. Plus I almost always use oil based finishes and if a speck of metal ends up one a piece of wood it won’t rust from the oil finish like it would if I used water based finishes
While the sapp wood adds a nice contrast, personally I would prefer the same wood coloring throughout. Just an admission - I couldn’t do the level of work that you make look so easy! Job well done sir!
Thank you! I have been wanting to make a razee plane out of a transitional. Now i have a tutorial. I have an old Ohio with a thick tapered iron that will be perfect. Love your videos. Especially the workbench . I may even try to make an all wood razee skew plane. I bought a skew blade panel raising plane at the woodwrights school in NC. Great Video, keep up the good work.
Where was this video 2 years ago when I passed up on buying a wooden jointer plane at an antique shop because the wooden base was cracked. Maybe it’s still there, maybe not, but if I ever see another … it’s mine!
That was a beautiful job. I have a transitional plane and was wondering what to do with it. Now I have some idea. Thank you and give Utz a biscuit for being such a helpful shop buddy.
I love your wood color choice. I found 2 arrowheads here in Southern California that are the same color as your plane. I wish I could share a picture of them with you so you could see what I’m talking about. I really enjoy your videos… Thank you so much👍
At first sight I thought you were going to restore the old planer but no, you completly built a new one from scratch (except the metal parts). Even better ! It is nice to see some fine woodworking coming back on the channel !
You definitely did a Beautiful job, I’ve got my Grandfathers wood plane like yours and just cleaned flattened. Works Great. All your work is well done 👍
The plane came out terrific, I’m amazed by the level of craftsmanship needed to do this. I tried to restore a metal hand plane for the first time last weekend and couldn’t do it.
Really enjoyed the video. I have a similar old plane that has a worn heel that I've been wondering what to do with. I love how the chamfers at the front match up with the curves of the base/frog. Well done. Looks amazing
It’s really good to see you again, and the shop! Hou wee, wow! Keep those videos coming. Keeping a piece for something else? Very cool video, very nice shop, thanks to you!
Beautiful work!! Awesome shop!! I don’t know if I missed the video or if there isn’t one out yet, maybe a Shop Tour Video? Both in and out! You sir are an artist! 🤙🏾
wow turned out beautiful. congrats on the new old tool. very nice restoring job. cant wait to see more videos. keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. keep making. god bless.
Watched this one now a few times and I’ll make a comment *this* time around. Enjoyed this one and always enjoy your content. Admittedly I’m that weird metric that like longer more descriptive videos. I know that those take longer to edit and I know they may not get as many views. Have you considered a second less you edited channel? Like a reference to the video you publish on the main channel. So you’re working on X, but along the way you have a set back, a skill/tool you haven’t covered before, or just your thought process build theory/organization; but because your cameras are up most all the time, you capture what I’ve mentioned in a vlog type manner. I dont know, it’s maybe not thought out well enough, but I figured I’d say so. BTW: Your Roubo builds are the most influential on my bench. Thank you and Semper Fidelis brother!
As someone who restores vintage tools (mostly power tools) as a hobby, I winced a little when you cut that plate down. But its a transitional plane, so it is hard to get too upset. 12/10 doggo performance. Would've been 14/10, but the East German judge deducted for the drop.
Dude! I guess I missed the give away. I just watched your video. Nice work. I’m late due to falling g asleep under a tree. And well someone yelled me name and woke me up. Wish they would have done it 2 years ago.
Great job, I always enjoy watching your videos my friend. The plane turned out amazing and the choice of wood you went with really made the plane stand out.
I own this same plane. The owner wore 5/16" off of the bottom. He inserted a 1/4" belt under the metal assembly so he could use it. I planed the bottom square. I will glue a matching beechwood sole that is 5/16" thick.
For posterity A beautiful hand made plane like that deserves to have your name carved into it. A craftsman should always be remembered for his workmanship.
That’s a good point and something I always neglect to do
I was thinking a branding iron with your logo. Love the plane, you did an awesome job!❤️
Ütz: "oh, you wanted that?"
I love seeing Ütz
Great video. I'm just getting started in woodworking at the ripe age of 51, so I need all the tips and ideas I can get! Thank you
Very nice… Never too old to get started. I am 48 years old and love working with wood. Best regards from Southern California 👍
Dang you’re good. It turned out beautiful. So good to see you and Utz again.
Beautiful work Chris. Whomever receives the first one will definitely have a cherished piece of working art.
Great to see you back at it!
Chris, I really enjoy your videos. You seem like the kind of person I’d like to be around, you seem so patient. The world moves so fast, and watching you take the time to do some of these projects is fascinating - thank you for sharing!
That sweet sweet sound of a SHARP plane.
That thing is beautiful. I'm inspired, man. Great work!
So great to see these types of videos again, Chris! That's what got me started into more hand tool work years ago: watching one of your earlier restoration videos. Thanks again!
Thank you. I’m glad to hear that!
I was not too sure about ‘destroying’ the frame as I tend to like the original/traditional design. However, this came out beautifully, Excellent work.
Awesome restoration man! ☺️👍🏼
Thanks brother!
It turned out beautifully. I like the look of the razee style planes, and it does seem to help with your tote hand being lower and closer to the workpiece.
Nice one! Will be enough for the next century
I have that same plane sitting in parts on the bench waiting to be cleaned and rebuilt. Nice job.
Well done! Ready for another 100 years of use. I love that snick of a sharp plane blade on wood. I you’re not careful, it’s easy to plane away your wood just listening to the sound.
I love wood working
Great job on the plane and the video
Absolutely stunning 🙏🙏
Ahhhh I really missed your woodworking videos! So glad you are back in action. The new shop looks incredible.
Nice job. I like how you continued the sapwood in the handle
I like your renewed handplane, I like your shop, I like your videos, but I love your dog!!!
Amazing..beautiful work.
Ron Swanson approved this
Very, very nice job 👍
The new workshop look amazing Chris
Beautiful work
I’m mesmerised by this gorgeous result. I agree the raw metal is devine. 💕💕
Amazing work. You always inspire
Beautiful work. Love the beginning. "Hey, I was ready, where were you?" - Utz, probably. Bringing that plane back to life was amazing.
Awesome plane.
Love the wirehair
The shop is beautiful!
You did a great job!
Always a pleasure to see Master Utz!
Great work on the plane!
Many thanks for sharing!
Be safe!
Excellent project Bro! No one ever says this.. but thanks for wearing eye and ear protection.. Again, Great work!

The shop is looking so good now. Great build as always!
Thanks bud!

Excellent!
another great video
Good wood choice
As always, so great to watch you work. Keep having fun out in the shop.
Bravo. I Love Thais model. From Brazil my friend.

Absolutely gorgeous!!!!!
I've never come across a "transitional" plane even though I've been looking for one for ages !!
Really!? They are all over the place at most antique stores around here
@@ThirdCoastCraftsman lucky bugga!!

Stunning. Thanks for sharing.
Good job
That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing!
That is beautiful. The pop of the sapwood really hit the spot. Guess I'll be looking for more sapwood these days
Those chisels are super sharp, Gosh!
Beautifully done!!!
hello here from Portugal great job
The plane came out terrific, I’m amazed by the level of craftsmanship needed to do this.
I tried to restore a metal hand plane for the first time last weekend and couldn’t do it.
Paul Sellers has a couple vids on restoring old metal and wood body planes. Check his channel if you haven’t already.
Also Rex Kruger
Love it Chris! Great work!
Beautiful work.Quality workmanship.I got one of those planes.Thank you.
Great work, Chris! Been missing these kind of videos from you!

Beautiful work and many thanks for sharing.
That is a pretty thing! Love the sapwood contrast.
Awesome video brother. Such a craftsman.
A first class transformation 👌 it really looks good and sounds wonderful too 👍

Thank you for the continued love and support bud!
Great job. The sap wood looks so sharp running through there.
Sweet
Nice job, you had me worried when you took the hacksaw to the frame, but now I see why you did it.
Came for the plane, stayed for Ütz!😄
WELDONE beautiful plane now. my son introduced me to ur channel.
Love those transitional planes. I just haven’t found a better feel.
This is great timing, I have a #8 Stanley Bailey traditional plane that I’ve been wanting to redo but wasn’t sure how to go about it
Try cold bluing on iron parts. You may like it.
Your dog Utz looks like my dog Angus.....I have old Stanleys (all are over 100 years old) numbers 8 thru 3, all still work great!
Nice
This is a good moment, when the plane starts to "sing".
I still love your work brother.
Thanks man! I’m glad you’re sticking with me!
