Just fantastic camera work!
I love it when your videos actually validate something that I managed to learn on my own. It makes me feel pretty clever. I use my 60-1/2, throat closed down narrow, sharp blade (always) and count the strokes. I considered buying a chamfering plane but really this technique is pretty easy so the money can go elsewhere. That's really important in these times.
Thanks as always, Rob & co. It makes my day to get that notification of a new Cosman video. {8^)
simple and to the point,
always leave knowing something, great channel,
Keep watching and we will keep filming
I am nowhere near as good as you on a plane, so sometimes i use my marking gauge to cut a line on both sides of the edge, then plane to both lines. Amazingly it makes the process pretty simple and very accurate.
The chamfer certainly makes the edge look finished. Great job, great explanation.😀😃
thanks
More years ago than I care to share, when I worked making store fixtures we'd break the edges of plastic laminate cabinetry with a sanding block made from a piece of wood with rounded ends covered tightly with a sanding belt. It was easy to make the transition to using a block plane. I never counted strokes; I'd just run the plane over the edge and feel it with my hand to see if it was eased enough.
Thanks for another great video Rob, always learning here
Thanks you. I bought veritas low angle block plane and optional chamfer guide. Does the job just fine.
Great video! The chamfer is a great way to finish any piece to soften the edges. Thanks for sharing. Take care
Thanks for watching and commenting
Rob, you are awesome! Thanks for your excellent and inspiring videos!
I will need this add this to my list of things to practice.
Great tip tutorial, Rob~! I always find myself going to my router for a round over bit when finishing a project, but seeing this I'm going to change things up. Time to put my block plane to work. I like the look of that chamfered edge as well. Thanks much~!!
Thanks for sharing!!! Practice, practice....and practice and it will be rewarding!!! Using the block plane teach me a lot especially on the wood fiber direction!!
I've learned to master the short and sides (oh, the pleasure of working with a sharp blade!), but those short edges are a challenge with such little reference surface.
I use a slightly different method. I start from the long grain, then do the width across the grain, so that exiting the plane on a chamfered edge makes it easier to avoid tear out. Then as last I do the shortest edge, the last fibers are well supported by all meeting chamfers. I also put my block plane inclining the blade angle of attack like you do. Comments?
Thanks Rob as you say the details count, this information was great ☺️
Thanks for watching and commenting
Thanks Rob. I’ve been fighting with that block plane for awhile. This video is perfect for getting me to pick it up and try again.
You have to master the cap.
Thanks Rob. I bought a kit from Lee Valley and made a plane just over 7" long. It feels better in my hand than a block plane. I will try it on chamfers for a small shelving project.
Let me know how it turns out
Sharp edges can cut too. I’ve busted a knuckle before. Learned easing edges in carpenter school years ago. Small detail but it elevates the work.
Im thinking of purchasing a WoodRiver plane? I mean if Rob has his reputation on them, they must be good. Plus cheaper than Lie Nelson
Thanks Rob … chamfering always looks so easy when you do it … my results tend to differ. Super sharp blade, 45 degree angle, count the strokes, and practice . I really appreciate these kind of videos because they inspire me to work on my skills.
You can do it
Thanks Rob a good one. Great video
Glad it was helpful
Good one Rob
40 below here, perfect timing
Yes its nasty cold in New Brunswick too

A balmy 12 in NY!
my wife came into my shop while I was chamfering edges on some coasters I was making and apparently I was counting aloud. she thought I had lost my mind and was practicing counting to 12.
I first learned the importance of "breaking"a corner in cabinet business then use it on all my stuff now
Another great post Rob, quick question, chamfering edges pre or post assembly of a piece? Is that depending on the project and where the piece of wood goes in that project. Do you have a preference?
Hi Rob, i have made some mitre boxes from curly purple heart. While beautiful, it's so hard to work. I'm going to slowly chamfer with a crisp router bit. Thanks for the video, I too like chamfers more but always wonder if an edge generally sanded is more preferred by people.
Cheers
I hate working purple heart for those very reasons. They edge type is a personal preference
What are your thoughts on a chamfer plane
Wow the bloke box is such a different color than it was very cool
As a wise canadian woman always says, "a chamfer is what seperates us from the animals." :)
So true
Feed the beast
No problem your welcome.
I dont have a problem buy the best tools for the job i buy 300 dollar timberframing chisels i use they to make a living but i hyst think paying close to 500 dollars with tax canadian is to much fof the average person or someone thinking about starting wood working there's so many other tools you will need also .like that your helping the vets thats awesome struggling mentally is a really problem .
You reminded me that I have to build drawers for my bloke box...
Learned the hard way early on to always add something to break the edges, I was carrying in a pieces I just finished let it slide out of my hands onto the table then was treated will a little blood. It wasn't anything to serious just enough to be annoying for the week, now I always make sure to do something to the edges.
Okay thanks
👌🙏
Wow...these 45⁰ angle create a charming edge...for your experience this size of block plane works perfectly...do you believe a small plane like Stanley 100 or 102 can do a decent job ?
By the way my hometown now is 98⁰F...minimum during winter is 58⁰F...take care
Oh yes, and do a great job. I use my small squirrel tail plane instead of my block many times, but a block plane is easier for beginners to get and hold the angle. The small ones ate much harder
I just got a cheap 102 for this purpose because it has an 01 blade. Out of the box it’s not very sharp but still worked well enough. Should be great once I tune up the blade properly.
I could see it being difficult to hold the angle on a long piece but for smaller stuff it should work great.
I know a guy who sharpens knives that are plenty sharp enough to cut hair… so when the barber shop is closed there’s no excuse. Lol
Seriously thanks for your tips.
But is he a certified barber?
Hi Rob, what’s your take on those chamfer planes with the replaceable carbide inserts?
You can do the same with a block plane so why spend more money
This video reminded me how I own a chamfer guide for my Veritas block plane that I had to have. And haven’t used. Like a jerk.
So, dusting that baby off.
Let me know how it works for you
For the people who feel they need to lift the plane up after each stroke, do they also feel like they need to lift the saw up after each cut?
I think that is a great point
Lifting slightly on the back stroke while sawing keeps saw dust from obscuring the line. I picked that tip up from the Shwarz. Try it, it works great. I get your point though not going to 'dull the blade'
Sorry, Schwarz.
I love your hair
Me too
Always one comment. Hahah Rob will be tying it up soon. 😂
My one nagging question has been how you get nice chamfers on a box or other application where two pieces meet in an inside corner. Obviously the block plane can’t get that far-do you just get as far as you can with the block plane and then finish up with a chisel?
Chamfer before assembly in that case
Tyler has the answer, chamfer before assembly. But if thats not possible or you forgot then use a small plane (squirrel tail for example) and finish the cut with a chisel or a chisel plane
Who is the guy with the short hair at the end of the video??? Gotta be Rob's brother!!!
Its my alter ego
"too long?" rob
Never too long
He means his hair
Nobody will look at a champfer but everybody will recognize torn grain.
Sand paper will get the job done everytime perfect,why use a plane?
As I said and showed in the video sandpaper is an option, but if you want a chamfer with a defined edge then using a plane is the way to achieve that look
I find it helps to do the chamfering at around the same time as you plane the board for the final time. That way you've got a good memory of grain direction and any changes. Given that your performing 6-7 passes to create the chamfer, you'll likely experience tear out in the first couple and change direction without problem. Remember, the plane is taking quite a small cut.
I will always chamfer an edge before picking up sand paper. The result to me is night and day.
Rob your a professional salesman there's a lot of companies that sell great tools Veritas is one and there prices are alot better than yours your prices are way to high for the average person with tax your saw is around 500 Canadian dollars for a dovetail saw lee valley sell there's for 109 plus tax canadian. huge difference yours is no way your's is 4 times better i use Veritas it cuts perfect just saying.
You’re right. It’s probably 5 times better.
Forgot to thank-you for the compliment on being a professional salesman. Great quote I heard a while back, "nobody works till the salesman does his job"! Good to remember as you head off to work.
I was going to buy a Woodriver plane but found that they are knockoffs of Lee Nielson planes made in China.
Copied off of the original Stanley Bedrocks, of which Lie-Nielsens are as well.
The underrated block plane
This guy is like a chameleon... If he puts on a cap he looks like a red neck with long hair... No hat no glasses looks like an average guy... Glasses on looks like a professor at tech school... Hat and glasses looks like a fugitive on the run.... You can't tell its the same guy clip to clip 😂😂😂😂
every time I watch your videos and other planer videos they always slightly lift the back up when they pull back to maintain position but you insist on dragging the blade across the wood to me that creates friction, heat, and dulls the blade so I really don't understand your logic there. with all due respect of course.
If it is dulling its only very slightly and I can resharpen in 32 seconds so its not a big deal. I prefer not to pick up the plane and move it back
