I know this was 6 years ago but, if you still check or still get these comments coming through to you, very very helpful and informative 👍. You certainly do get to use some top of the range woodworking tools. Unfortunately as a pensioner I'm afraid Varitas is outside my budget. One thing that struck me was, you make reference to breathing in sawdust when using a power router, 😊 but then having made two cuts with dovetail saw you blew the dust towards your guest onlookers 😮. Power tools ok in the right environment but, there's nothing more pleasing than hand tools and achieving a sence of pride in what you have made. Best wishes, hope you are still doing seminars and still loving your woodwork. Cheers Les.
Great video when I was looking up info on this plough plane. Funny enough Veritas just released a smaller plough plane that is a little bit less expensive and form fitting for just doing drawer bottoms and similar tasks. Also I love my miniature router plane. I find it very useful when working on the mouths of wooden hand planes where I need a 1/8" mouth cut to an exact depth. Saved me many times in tight locations, and works just as well as any larger tool.
He is quite correct . I always cut my drawers with this little plane . It is way faster than routers or table saws. Its quiet as well . The tool is BEAUTIFULLY made.
I was just watching Paul Seller setting up and using the Stanley Plough plane, he uses same technique BTW, I used to have the Stanley version had to sell lots of planes for money yers ago, am retired now and rebuilding some of what I need - I like to do most work by hand with no machines...I will buy this Veritas one
5:05 Vic says that they depth and the offset doesnt need to be exactly 1/4" and that he eyes it up. Is that because wood is hydroscopic and will move, or for another reason? Thanks!
Late answer but It’s about relativity, if the fence is the same across all the drawers then it doesn’t matter as it will sit flat across them all, you could spend the time to measure it to be perfect but is anyone going to pull out your drawer and measure?
Vic is not monitoring this video but we use the Veritas Narrow Blade Holder. Thanks for your comment. woodworkersworkshop.co.uk/collections/veritas/products/veritas-mk-ii-honing-guide-deluxe-set
Yeah, about the "Old woman's tooth", as it is still called in Eastern Europe. Historically speaking, women were more likely to survive until they lost most of their teeth. Men died younger in war, at work or doing stupid shit for fun like we still do today.
The questions are at times as important as the answers. FWIW I own a LOT of Veritas equipment. The Vancouver store is literally blocks from where I live. I have a #4, medium shoulder plane and a low angle block plane as well as a bigger bench vise that will soon go on my woodwork bench.
The magic is in the magicain not the wand. So no need to buy top spec tools when you can pick up second hand stuff that is just as good and sometimes better for alot less. Most people don't work with their hands anymore, but the tools are in plentifully supply. Paul sellers has a wonderful narrative and easy to understand instruction.

Nice demonstration, thanks
Thx for posting👍 and a nice explanation to make joints without measuring, great👌
If you want to see what can be achieved with a router plane check out Paul Sellars.

At 14:00, what was that about an angled fence to plow an angled groove? Dinna ken how that might work.
Vic is a great spokeperson very nice person and good at marketing👍.. Anywyas his using "paul seller marking knife" hehe.. 🤘😎
Vic, I know this was a while ago, but could you address honing plough plane blades??

Инструмент Супер, собираю коллекцию Veritas.
Can I buy a tongue and groove blade for the plow plane?

FYI we can not hear the questions so I would suggest you repeat the question and then answer it.
Sorry about that, we will ensure we do that next time around.

I am left handed. I buy left handed tools when they are available.

There are many similar projects in Woodglut's plans.
