    Found an old hand plane from my granddad in my parent's garage, then stumbled upon this channel. Got a new blade in it, and thanks to these videos learned how to sharpen it. I see why woodworkers are so passionate about their craft lol, it's a lot of fun!

    I have a couple of Stanley planes from the 1940s (?) that belonged to my father. Due to surface rust, etc., I'm doing a full restoration on them.
    I've watched a few of your videos, and they are fantastic. Fortunately, I've got various sharpening stones for knives, chisels, etc. - water, diamond, and one natural Japanese stone. There's nothing better or more important to have sharp edges. From kitchen to chisels to drill bits. There are myriad methods for getting a good edge, and each tool has its own subtle differences. It takes patience and practice to get good at it.
    All that said, my favorite part of watching your videos (besides that excellent info and teaching style, of course) is the 'hockey tape' wrap you have on some of your hand tools :)
    I've been doing the same since my days playing ice hockey as a yute, on all manner of handles. I can't begin to count the number of non-hockey players to whom I've taught that wrap. Second to a sharp edge is being able to get a good purchase on a handle.
    Thanks for posting these.

    Great video Rob, as always very informative. I bought a used plane ebay and evidently the guy I got it from stuck an old (almost worn out) blade in it that had the wrong angle on it. I spent hours trying to figure out what went wrong. So I came to your video and checked everything your suggested with no luck. I finally got a working plane and checked the angle and low and behold it was way off. Now using your instructions and the right angle on the blade it works like a charm. Thanks!

    40 years ago I wound up with my Grandfather’s #5 Jack plane I threw a piece of wood in the vise put the plane to it and it stopped dead ! I said to myself “this thing is stupid” lol and kept using my power tools. Then I stumbled on to Rob’s TH-cam channel and it changed the game. Unfortunately I lost that hand plane in a house fire in 2009 but if I still had it it would be taking .001 shavings. Thanks Rob !

    I've been digging these tips out of robs movies for a while and they've made all the difference in my plane success. I would like to add that a solid hold on the material is really important. If it's not held solidly and immobilized that will cause issues. Seems obvious I know but I'm just passing it along.

    Rob, this is a great video and just about explains everything! One thing I believe is missing is "sharpening the blade past 45 degree", which I believe happens to people when they hand sharpen and progressively increase the angle. If this happens, the plane won't cut anymore.

    Hi Rob, I don't think you mentioned my problem... I used David Charlesworth's method for prepping the chip breaker because there was always a gap between where it engages with the blade iron. I've used a business card up the top near the screw so it will force the gap to close and it works but id rather just have a chip breaker that doesn't have a gap. Is there a way to fix it or should I just buy a new one? I have a Clifton 5 1/2 Jack.

    I bought a replacement iron and chip breaker for my Stanley. They did not fit The hardness of both was well above Rockwell 60. I used the iron with a Stanley chip breaker and the chip breaker sharpened as a low angle plane iron. So mixing up the two is not as daft as it sounds. They both worked fine with keen edges!

  • @RFMongoose
    @RFMongoose 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I appreciate the video. I do have a question for you. I have a couple newer Stanley planes. A low angle plane and an 8 inch or so plane. I can put a shaving edge on the blades, and I have followed the steps you have shown in the video. I still have a few problems. First neither of the planes will hold depth. Between the backlash in the depths screw, and I assume the looseness of the frog threads I find myself endless lowering the blade every few passes. I have never been able to pull a shaving as feathery as you (though I know in part, it can only be done with flatter boards). And without fail I have various levels of tearout. I know planning as such :
    -> \
    With the grain rising to the blade rather than away from it can cause this, but even if I plane in the opposite orientation it leaves these tiny little pock marks on the surface. I realize I spent some 20 dollars on these and I'm going to get what I pay for, but is there any hope to repair or strengthen them?

    Another issue can be the fit between the blade and the chip breaker. Probably more of an issue with the older, thinner chip breakers. The chip breaker has to be ground perfectly flat and to the tip to give a close fit over the whole length of the forward edge. Also consideration to this edge when compressed with the center screw.

    Just out of interest, I wanted to ask about how thin a shaving you can get with a metal plane. I use Japanese tools but I've always found dealing with kanna difficult. Do you think it's possible to get a 0.010 micron shaving from a modern metal plane?

    • @George-hj6qm

    Well, my planes are working better than they did when I started a couple of years back. Some one commented that it takes about 5 years to really get the hang of using them, and that is seeming to be true. The problem is that there are so many little tricks that you have to figure out on your own, and can't be taught. I am making progress.
    I am curious as to your feelings on the Japanese style pull planes. As some one who HAS to experiment, I started playing with them as well. At the very least, they are interesting, and take pretty much the same skills to work as the western style planes.

    • @RobCosmanWoodworking
      @RobCosmanWoodworking  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That depends on what you are doing. If you are working wood prone to tear out then closing up the gap between the blade and the edge of the throat open will significantly help prevent tear out. If your wood is not tearing out then keep a wide mouth. Unlike the previous replier I don't believe positioning your chipbreaker super close to the blade edge provides any benefits.

      Well I dont think its the screw down cap iron verses a lever type cap iron. I do not recommend Spear and jackson planes. I bet you will have a better experience with a higher quality plane...Try a WoodRiver or a Lie Nielsen. I think you will find it a much better experience

      @@RobCosmanWoodworking wonderful. My question is this. In every woodworking video book or instruction there is one thing in common. All the pieces of wood are flat, straight and with parallel faces. It is the first step in anything you do. And if you loose half the wood in the planer so be it.
      I have been doing some work with big pieces. (10ft x 8in x 8in) where the faces are not parallel. And the corners are not sharp.
      How do you work with such pieces to make joints that are tight. For example on a corner brace.
      Also sometimes I want to take advantage of the natural curvatures of the wood but how do you mark such a piece?

      The edge of your blade needs to be straight, but it isn’t necessarily square to the sides of the blade, therefore requiring lateral adjustment. Are you sure your blade is straight? What plane are you using?

      @@RobCosmanWoodworking spear and Jackson no 5.
      It's all I could afford so I followed one of Rex Kroger's videos on how to make a shity plane work the best it can.
      Problem is the first time I ground the iron I put too much trust in the honing guide and kinda skewed the crap out of it.
      So I had to lock it to my speed square and file grind it back to square and start over.
      I'm sure it's still a tiny bit off which I can manipulate with the lateral adjustment but still can't get it cutting evenly.
      I'm glad I'm working through all these mistakes with a low end plane though instead of something more expensive.

      @adamguinnmusic5871 I don’t like to speak negatively about others, but recommendations like that often lead to frustration and not satisfaction. Satisfied that you didn’t have to spend a lot of money, but the money that you did spend, what has it got you? Check out my video on a review of a plane similar to that one,
      th-cam.com/video/yNQ-5PsaDS8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=8hSy_AyzuNZO3lf2
      And you’ll see what I mean. These “less expensive” tools are not designed or built by people with knowledge on how they function. Hence why they don’t wind up functioning properly.

    I know the frog on a No. 5 Jack plane is adjustable, but what is the default open size? And, minimum and maximum sizes? Where don't you want your frog to be placed, ever? Frogs just don't seem to get talked about much, I'm guessing it's because the defaults work well enough, but as it is movable, I think it warrants discussion. Thanks in advance.

      Sometimes you have to grind the edge of the blade to match the plane. If a blade with a square edge projects unevenly through the mouth of the plane and you don’t have enough lateral adjustment to correct it, grind it to fit.
