Sticking boards close up talk through

I was asked to make a closer look video on my sticking boards. I have two currently the basic one with the small fence gets used a lot on-site so does get abused more. For this width I use 150x50 red deal that I plane all round I do prefer unsorted grade for this job with plenty of resin heavy timber with tighter growth rings as they do seem to be more stable and stay straighter. If I wanted a wider sticking board now I would use two thicknesses of 25mm hardwood ply with a deeper fence.
Do not make them too elaborate simple always seems to be better with sticking boards.

Brilliant - thank you very much for making this video. Much appreciated.

No problem.

That screw stop looks like it did some damage to an iron or the plane body. Ouch.

No it’s bent the wrong way to be plane damage. it’s got damaged in the van as it has been on site a lot and has done several demonstrations away from the workshop. I also set them out of the planing line for that exact reason. You generally only catch a screw once or twice before you learn it’s not a good idea.
