The set of planes I bought aprox 8 years ago for $8 are still working great. YES, the planes need some work, but that is to be expected for the price. I use them for (obviously) small needs but they are PERFECT!
I've had a set of those plames for years and even built a set of new blades for them from better steel. The ones that come with them, like any blade, will take a great edge but not hold it and then need to be resharpened. other than that they have been ideal. The little bullnosed plane is great on cleaning up rabbets and things where you need to get up into a corner. The srcaper is handy on piees of inlay whee a card scraper won't wok and I like the little block plane to chamfer small part edges that a block plane might damage.
I have had those exact Harbor freight mini plans for some years (7+?) once i flattened the bottoms and sharpened them up they work great.
I must admit i have purchased multiple sets and radius-ed the bottoms for different things basically created a mini set of rounds. hey for 4 bucks a plane, it was easier than making my own
Makes sense - a lot cheaper and easier going that way!
I've had that set of planes for a few years and really like them. The main issue was putting in the work to get the bottoms flat, rounding the sharp edges, and sharpening the blade.
I too really like this relaxed, experimental format. It fits in perfectly with surviving the lockdown.
Good to hear...
I've had a set of the mini planes for about three years. They are really handy for finish work. Especially with plywood veneers.
On the planes - I bought mine to specifically sharpen my carpenters pencils. Many use knives of some sort - or chisels.
Other use - as needed.
The shutter speed for moving car problem is kinda interesting from a mathematical perspective. You know how far away the road is, what angle it is relative to the camera, how big a license plate and its letters are, and a general good idea of the upper limit of how fast you expect the car to be going. Then you have camera specs like the resolution and focal angle. From that you could hypothetically figure out in a given amount of time how many pixels of smear you could have in the image if the car is going a certain speed. Geometrically you can approximate how many pixels worth of smear would be acceptable so that each letter is still readable.
Completely impractical to figure it out this way when it is really easy to experimentally test and I'm definitely not going to do the math right now, but a fun thought experiment nonetheless.
I'm looking forward to see what you can do with the more expensive Pi camera setup. I enjoyed the video.
I like the HF mini planes . . . they are a bit fidgety, but do the small jobs nicely when sharpened and set up right.
I own a ton of Harbor Freight tools and they are just as good as the expensive stuff. Their 4x36 sander has lasted me for 26 years now.
This vid is pretty jam packed, good to see you're keeping busy. 👍🏾
Thanks Bill!
So cool...I literally just got back from Harbor Freight and thought about picking up a set of those planes. You helped make the decision. Going back tomorrow.
Those little planes would be amazing if they had a 45 grove in the bottom for chamfering or rounding!
Interesting video! Like your presentation style, ya'll do a great job. Looking forward to watching more of your videos
Chris Schwartz in his workbenches book recommends always putting you workbench right besides a window. interesting book if you want to read it. And definetivly worth reading if you are planning to buid a big one.
I've not seen the mini planes before! I'm at HF from time to time...but have not seen those. Gonna maybe take a look. Thanks! 😇😎
I’ve considered buying this very set! Always good to see you and your little family on TH-cam. Stay safe!!
Thank you for enabling captioning! The video was much easier to follow!!
Electronics projects are still fun! Especially when combined with something else.
Really enjoyed this video! The small planes from harbor freight are cute and useful. The cameras are awesome and I can’t wait to see the next step as this evolves.
I like your new format.
Hi Lynne, It looks as if you live in a country setting with a single lane road, the speed limit might be about 30 MPH but knowing drivers, they will be speeding unless you have a sharp bend in the road through so your camera speed will have to be quicker to catch the cars. The birdhouse idea is a good one unless a bird takes a fancy to it.
Thanks Linn,
Like both your Shop Updates and your longer projects ... so do what is fun!

Loved the bit on how to set up the mini planes.
I LOVE this new format Linn!!! I also love tinkering with raspberry pis :)
Thanks Alex, nice to hear!
Really, really nice stuff, Linn! 😃
I was about the suggest a fake bird house!!! 😂
Anyway, since you put enough heatsinks and maybe a small PC fan, it should work great! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks! I never done a birdhouse, so making a spy cam birdhouse might be fun. 🙂
Hi!
Thanks for the video!
Those Crown Tools squares, where did you get them?
I find them hard to come by...
Thanks - best regards.
Those planes always reminded me of a luthiers set
I love this format.... you always cover some amazing topics.
I would think that since it is black, you are absorbing max heat from the sun. If it were white, I would think it would absorb less and not get so hot. Not sure how much though - that would be a fun experiment! Point is mute though if it's going to be in a birdhouse. :) Also, bought those planes a while ago and they do work well as long as you sharpen the blades.
Looking forward to the info on the license plate reader project in the future. It's been on my radar to create something like that for over 2 years, but haven't had time to dig into it!
Great update! I like those mini planes and tool holder/display rack!
I have to tell you that you've inspired me with your myriad of ideas and projects. Recently I finished some small, basic desk speakers. I'd like to try my hand at those fancy looking mini light fixtures next... Anyway, you have a super channel! Keep up the great work!
That's so cool to hear, thank you!
Love your videos. Anxious to see what you come up with for your spy camera.
Lovely video. Linn, you are a JEWEL, and we love you. Stay safe, you, Matt, August and Darwin.
Thanks Alexandre!
Lovely update Linn! Thank you for sharing it with us! Hope you and Matt have a wonderful Independence Day!💖👌👍😎JP
I agree with you … this format is very interesting, as are the contents! Thanks!
Thank you! Good to hear.
I'm very interested in these raspberry pi experiments! Thank you.
Such cute little tools and seems to work well too!!
Good combination. 😁
Hello Linn & Family, Great update video, nice projects. Since you mentioned it, nice format to showcase what is in the works, awesome channel. Happy Fourth, C.
Thanks Cass, nice to hear!
Love the chosen format with preview of things to come. Like a teaser.... Looking forward to the Raspberry Pi project. One observation: at :58 seconds in, the background music sounded like its audio track was slowed down and it sounded off to me. Personally, I'd leave that kind of distraction out. Just a peanut gallery comment. Not trying to be a troll so please forgive!
Build a garden gnome & put the camera in its eye 😎
😂
You need to check out deer trail camera because that is something that might work for you.
Good morning to you from wellington Somerset in the UK
Would you believe I bought this set a while back after being inspired by an older video of yours where you placed an LED strip behind a narrow acrylic strip into a shelf, I think and the chisel plane was the perfect thing to smooth out the groove I cut for the LED's in a floating shelf I put together?
Haha, that's really funny. Full circle.
I almost bought a set of these a while back!
Now I am going to
@@daniellalor6244 Don't forget the 20% coupon.
@@anthonylau3065 I have never purchased ANYTHING at harbor freight without a coupon.
Daniel Lalor , lol, Right on!
Small planes - instrument building. They do look nice. I have some Veritas from Lee Valley. Agreed others below, spy cam in fake bird house. I'll be interested in hearing how you solve the cooling problem. Shade from the birdhouse will help, but still may not be enough.
Love those little planes, but I cannot get that chisel plane to work right.
Hello Darbin! I stumbled on your channel and loved the video! I was curious, what sharpening stone were you using?
Thanks! It's a cheap stone from home depot.
Linn With the Hand Planes temper the blades they will hold a better edge .
I wondered last video about your furry arms. Good to know they belong to Matt. He seems to be a good woodworker. It makes sense to divide the work as your boy gets older. Not easy but it allows the two of you be be full time mommy and daddy.
Linn, be careful; it could be illegal to record another persons' license plate for publication in your state.
I never suggested that I would make anything public.
Thanks for reviewing the planes. The hf reviews convinced me to NOT buy them. However, your review has convinced me TO buy the set.
😂😂😂
Good job 👍 ..., Excellent things ..., Linn Super idea..,, How are you ?
Very cool
I like this format also...
Linn, I think I would keep the location and the container of my pi camera out of the video. If not, it is no longer is a spy camera. if you use a bird house, build more then one, like which one has the PI. Haha
I like the idea of the spy camera. I will be making one to take pictures of the night sky. I will be using POE to power it. Still trying to decide if I will use 1 lens or. Three to get the full sky. I already have the Raspberry Pi, model 4 with 2 GB.
Neat!
Mini!
I'm unclear on the goal to read license plates - is that something you were using just for testing as a benchmark of quality, or an actual goal of yours? If that's the goal, what's the reasoning?
I assume so but from a security standpoint it makes perfect sense. How many has station camera shots have you seem that were absolutely useless? It's like the only reason the police released it is because the person was a blurry blob that had clothing on and hoped the public would eat someone out. When I lived in Nashville a house was broken into and the owner happened to be a security specialist who had their property outfitted high speed HD cameras. The cops had the their before they released the video because his face was caught clearly by like 6 different cameras.
@@HyperactiveNeuron None of what you just said had anything to do with her question. The person in this video or ANYONE who gets a surveillance camera is not only looking to get faces but the make and model AND License Plate numbers. lot's of times when a home is broken into someone, You or a Neighbor has footage of the Robbers driving away. or driving past while scoping the house out. that is why she is interested in being able to see the License Plate.
Interesting plane。curiously，where to buy？
How are you liking living in the mountains of Virginia. I really like what you have done with the shed. It looks great. Stay safe.
What about cars that go by at night?
What sharpening stones are those?
Why not have the bench on wheels and then you can move to where its good to use and put it back when finished with ?
Probably will put it on wheels!
Have a look at OpenMV
Great format, enjoyed your video.
Nice to hear Roy!
That’s pretty cool. It would be fun to play around with the pi and cameras. I just use ubiquity cameras for my security system.
I want to get at least one normal sized plane. Any recommendations?
A normal sized plane is certainly a bit more useful.... I would perhaps get a #4. The benchdog plane from Rockler is a good one, or if your budget is higher get a Lie Nielsen. 🙂
I've had a problem with my camera overheating in humid weather as well. My camera stopped functioning when I visited Legoland Florida.
I'm wondering if you can use a raspberry pi for a digital sign. I've done it with Mac Minis, but they are too expensive to dedicate for a sign.
Yes, raspberry pi is perfect for that. Or you can use an arduino.
How convenient that Americans have little boxes on poles at the front of their houses. Perfect for concealed cameras - and the post.
You should watch grandpa amu on TH-cam. He builds things with hand tools that have no nails or screws. Might be a challenge for you.
Hi what brand and grit is your stone. Thanks
I'm going to mount my Pi camera to my "Drive Like Your Children Live Here" sign...We'll see if the wind from the speeding cars will keep the Pi from overheating 😏
Good idea!
I'd be curious if the camera, with enough range to see the car coming, could both estimate speed (by change of position from frame to frame) and read a license plate. Imagine having a display on a sign like this that said, "License Plate XYZ1234 Recorded Speed 38mph." Have a slow children and 25mph sign conspicuously placed near this. Even if the information was never sent on to police, it might make people think extra hard about speeding in a residential area.
We have people speed in our neighborhood, and I have tried to get the city to put up one of those signs showing speed under the 25mph sign.
I try to learn many things from you ... Accept my regards from Iraq
Mini Brass Plane set - $12 on HF, €99 on amazon.de in Europe ... :(
I interested in any update you have on the spy camera. I have a situation where my neighbor keeps smashing into my mailbox but I have no proof. I'm looking for a way to monitor my mailbox.
Seems like the system I showed would work to help you out. Like I said about $40 total in on it.
Hi Robert, I had a similar situation with a neighbor. A friend built my post out of a Chevrolet 454 engine crank and 2” pipe. We set the post 2ft deep into the ground with 2 80lb bags of cement. That post never moved but his bumper did.
Also had kids that liked playing baseball tag with my mailbox. I bought two mailboxes - one very large and one regular sized. One fit into the other. I used cement as a fill between the two boxes and let it dry. A few days later I found the flag bent on the outer box but never had another issue with my mailbox post or my mailbox afterwards.
I used to be a mailman. I had many customers who had this (and similar) problem(s) over the years.
Build a brick mail box structure and fill it with cement. A car could crash into it and the mailman would still be able to deliver your mail.
I had one customer who had issues with kids driving by smashing the box with a baseball bat. After the 5-6 time he got tired of that and set up a box filled with concrete. A few days later a kid showed up at his door with a broken arm and his parents wanting him to pay for it. He repeated the incident to them - "1. you were hanging out of a moving vehicle 2. you were swinging a baseball bat (a deadly weapon) while hanging out of the moving vehicle . 3. you were striking things from a moving vehicle. 4. you destroyed a mailbox (a felony). Then asked, "are you sure you really want to pursue this?" they walked away and he pulled the concrete filled box down and never had a problem with that again...
"Darbin Orvar Lab" I love it. Thank you for the update, you always give me great ideas.
I love you on camera. Gorgeous
Lär du barnet ditt svenska? Och hur lär sig barnet din dialekt? Kommer ungen ha den sköna swengelskan du har? Har följt dig i flera år så ta inte frågorna som något negativt, jag undrar verkligen!
Japp, jag pratar svenska med honom. Men pappan pratar engelska så jag tvivlar på att han får någon svengelsk dialekt.
