A great addition to the bench Dave and it looks fantastic. Your set up is almost identical to what I was taught on over 40 years ago and I loved the simplicity of it. I've considered adding something similar a few times and just might after seeing this 😊 Blessings to you all there ॐ
Thanks! I like it so far. My last bench had a board that could slide up on the end and it worked pretty well but the teeth on this one combined with a batten allows me to do just about anything I could do with my tail vise. Good hearing from you!
I like that, especially for thin stock as that is where I find the biggest problem when planing. I might just have to make something like this for my bench!
Well courage and craftsmanship ain't purchasable, fortunately you have both. 👍 The square opening all way through the workbench is definitely a callenge. Very interesting how you did it.
Twisted Woodshop Thanks man! I’m not as consistent as I’d like to be but i put up a video when i can, I’m hoping my workbench video will give the channel a kick start 👍🏻
Man, as an old man and newbie to woodworking, I think a lesson on how to navigate all the use of an awesome work bench. Nice skill set, my man. I envie you.
You have a keen eye, and a lot of skill. I just found your channel and I'm watching your videos instead of doing what I should be. You gained a new subscriber.
Well I have to admit this is the first time I've seen one of these. Looks very useful. I think I saw a picture on your Instagram page and was wondering at that time what it was but knew you were going to make a video about it. Thanks for sharing 👍
hi Dave you have done a great job with his plane stop, but (most important) you created a very good system on all your workbench to work with hand tools. it's very efficient Alberto
Very clean and easy to follow installation. Thanks. I have one of these to install on my newly built Moravian Workbench and this video is most helpful. I usually do not prefer background music during instructional videos, as there are those of us with hearing sound discrimination issues that have problems with spoken words competing with the music. That said, your pleasant music was of very low volume and did not present an issue for me. Cheers, Michael O. Alabama, USA
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching. The music comes out at different levels depending on what device you are watching. Before I publish a video I listen to it on my phone and on the TV and computer to make sure it doesnt compete with my voice. Most of the time it works out
Thanks Rob. These have been around for hundreds of years in one form or another. There are a couple companies that sell the metal part but it seemed simple enough to make so I gave it a shot
I appreciate your attention to detail. Nice project. BTW, you skipped over the most difficult part - making the teeth. You went from a straight edge to teeth with no transition :-)
I did. It was slow and didn't make good footage because I was being real cautious. I just used the triangle file to make them but I was told that if it would have been easier if I hack sawed down a little first then went to the file. Getting the teeth right was definitely the hardest part!
Thanks! No. They are both still tight. I think putting the dowel in so the screws can bite in to cross grain helped. Also, I don't use the stop on every project
Hi Dave, I’ve never seen one of these before buddy, it’s a clever solution when you think about how it works & a project that will invigorate many to make similar. I see you were sweating somewhat & I hear it’s hot over there aarrgghh, what’s your occupation mate ?, cheers from DownUnder 🎥🔨👍👍👍
Thanks! Yea it's getting pretty hot over here and I sweat if I just think about working! It's nice over there this time of year I hear. I will visit there someday. Such a long flight though. I work for a contractor that builds satellite antennas that deploy in space. I've been there for 12 years. Before that I was an auto technician for Ford and Chrysler for about 12 yrs.
Simple but very efficient and strong design. Of course the way you built it is remarkable! I would love to have one too, but will have to build a bigger workbench first. Just have a mini workbench now. Did you apply anything to the metal to prevent it from rusting?
Thanks. I polished it with buffing compound. A polished surface seems to help keep the metal from rusting as fast. I also applied a little polyurethane to top of the wood block but I'm not sure how long that will last on the metal
@@doedeldidoedelda I see knife makers use that sometimes. I looked for some to try but there are some super cheap and some real expensive. Where do you buy it? Or is there a brand name I should look for?
Thanks! From what I've read, they used a plane stop similar to this one for thin stock. Or a bench hook with a thin fence or a thin board clamped across the bench that the thin board being worked on could be pushed against.
First, I'd like to thank you for your bench build! I made mine Dec 2019- Jan 2020. Your videos helped me tremendously!!! Second, why a planing stop as well as the dog holes? Does this new stop have better holding than the tail vise into the a dog?
Thanks for the feedback. The planing stop just gives me another option to hold work. I mostly use it on wide boards that I am hand planing and use the gap stop and the plane stop to hold the board still
Sorry for my ignorance, I'm new to woodworking, but why isn't the planing stop simply put into a dog hole, why does it have to have a special place cut out for it? I saw this first on Schwartz's workbench video and his recent book and it has me scratching my head. Thx in advance.
Good question. I use my bench dogs as planing stops all the time. The one I made here is just larger, I can mount the metal teeth to it (would be difficult to put teeth on a 3/4 in dowel and have it hold up to the pressure of planing) and its closer to the stop gap in the middle of the bench. This allows me to wedge wider boards between the planing stop and the stop that runs the length of the bench
@@TwistedWorkshop77 Agreed, putting teeth into a dowel is not the solution, what I meant was why not a metal planing stop placed in a dog hole similar to a holdfast; the head could be as big as you want, just the body would need to fit in the dog hole. There must be a reason for why it has its own place, I'm trying to figure it out lol.
I think we can still only send chocolate bars through the tv! The planing stop is pretty convenient to have though. I just saw a different version that Paul Sellers put on his work bench that looks nice and doesnt require you to drill all the way through the bench. I think Lee Valley sells them
So far so good. I am being stingy with the space though. My equipment is set up pretty close to the way it was in the garage. I like having a nice open space in the back of the shop.
Twisted Woodshop yea u gotta love the editing. Lol. Tht was a pain hanging tht air filter. Alot heavier than it looks on top of not trying to bend the thin metal its made with.
Nice workmanship.
Such a basic little project but you made it really informative and interesting with useful techniques at every stage, great video!
I just found my Sunday afternoon project to work on!

Just what I needed. Thanks
Really nicely done!
Thanks!
That turned out great!
Thanks!
Subbed, nice build. I like the oak dowel tip. :)
Thanks!
Great video
Exactly what I was looking for, showed all the steps and work involved to get this set up the right way.
Thanks for watching!
Great idea. That's a planing stop that will not slip.
Thanks! I think it will hold up
Great install with explanations. Enough detail and not too much talk! thanks so much! Best vid on the topic i’ve seen 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks!
Now all I have to do is build the Rhoubo bench to put this in! Thanks for the video and great ideas!
Thanks!
I like that, especially for thin stock as that is where I find the biggest problem when planing. I might just have to make something like this for my bench!
It is nice for thin stock. I should have done this earlier!
Well courage and craftsmanship ain't purchasable, fortunately you have both. 👍 The square opening all way through the workbench is definitely a callenge. Very interesting how you did it.
Thanks so much! That workbench has turned in to my pride and joy. I was a little nervous putting that square hole in it!
Adding it to my list of things to make for my work bench. Thanks!
Its definitely a nice option to have
so good love it .
Thanks!
Nice job
Thanks!
Nicely done! That stop is very solid & will probably outlast the table!
Thanks! I almost used some high carbon steel I had but thought it would be a waste. Your right. This should last a long time
Good addition to have versatility in your work holding options 👍🏻 I’m currently building my bench and love these ideas 💡
Thanks for watching. I just came from your channel. You have some awesome content
Twisted Woodshop Thanks man! I’m not as consistent as I’d like to be but i put up a video when i can, I’m hoping my workbench video will give the channel a kick start 👍🏻

You are a cool dude
Thank you!
Nice work, man! That looks so perfect there.
Thanks! I made 2 out of that piece of scrap. The 2nd one isn't quite as pretty but I will find a use for it
The oak dowel to help the mounting screws grab is a great idea. It would no doubt be fine without, but it's not a lot of work for a lot of insurance.
You have a keen eye, and a lot of skill. I just found your channel and I'm watching your videos instead of doing what I should be. You gained a new subscriber.

Nice video! Very useful bench stop. :)
Thanks! All afternoon I was thinking of what tag names to put on the video. "Bench stop" was what I was missing. Thanks!

Very very nice, like it. But in 9:27 Why you not put "bullet catch", and make the wood slight loose? so you don't need to hit the wood hard.
I made it how I saw traditional ones made but the bullet catch is a great idea. Thanks
Good work 👴🏻🇦🇺
Con el uso cintinuo no se afloja el taco ?
Not yet and it has been a couple years. If it ever does, I can just make a bigger block
Great video. So have the screws come loose at all?
Thanks! No. They are both still tight. I think putting the dowel in so the screws can bite in to cross grain helped. Also, I don't use the stop on every project

@@TwistedWorkshop77 I use Japanese Camellia oil on my plane irons. It doesn't gum even after a long time. That's the best for tool iron.
@@doedeldidoedelda I see knife makers use that sometimes. I looked for some to try but there are some super cheap and some real expensive. Where do you buy it? Or is there a brand name I should look for?
That’s pretty cool. Was there a traditional way that woodworkers planed thin boards?

Thanks!. I love the pine. Its holding up well. It's heavy and hard

@@TwistedWorkshop77 I would do the same thing. The lightning looks amazing too. At least on video it looks very nicely and evenly lit. 5000k LEDs?
Yea. 5k. They just cheap 20 dollar fixtures but they work great and put out even light.
Made it look too easy
The power of editing! Lol. I just watched you video on installing the air filtration. I need something like that in my shop.
