What a great video (since I have that plane) It’s been one of my favorite tools to use and to look at. They work well without doing anything, but the setup can be a little fussy, and now I see exactly why-it’s the smoothing and polishing those contact surfaces. I can’t wait to get started on mine. On to part 2…
Thanks Ray! I agree; David Charlesworth used to teach that even high quality tools need at least some fettling. The final piece of the puzzle that seems to make a big difference in everyday use is to keep the sole waxed. I didn’t emphasise that enough in the videos. Let me know how you get on with yours.
I bought that plane over 20 years ago. I'll admit I rarely use it. Got a couple of number 4's which I usually reach for. But I mostly work in my work shop and don't really need a pocket plane. I'll probably sell it soon.
Brilliant Video Jim! A thought crossed my mind when watching you remove the threaded rod. It reminded me of removing engine studs from the head of the block. I remember my dad showing me how to do this with two nuts on the rod, tightened to each other you can then use the combination to unthread the rod/stud easily... just a thought
If you mean the large screw for the Depth of Cut Adjuster Knob, I agree! When I first tried this on and old Stanley, I cut a slot with a hacksaw. Ended up stripping it out because I didn’t realise it was reverse threaded! Just kept making it tighter. Sometimes you spend hours doing it wrong, then feel a complete dolt when the penny finally drops…🥴
Great video once again Mr. Linn! One question: would using nylon soft jawed pliers work better for taking off the brass screws than wrapping them in brass wire? I have one for adjusting brass set screws and they work well.
Yes they might. I don’t have them, though. Also, I think I was expecting to need more torque which was why I went down the copper wire and mole grips route. Turns out it didn’t need much torque at all. So yes, give the soft jawed pliers a go.
Thanks Ralph. It’s a problem I’m trying to get to the bottom of. Seems to change with each video and I’m not sure why. At some point I’ll figure it out.
@@mrlinnsworkshop Mr. Linn, you need a seperate microphone pinned to your shirt that transmits sound using Bluetooth to your camera or mixer (if you use one). Also, in most computer editing and production programs you can adjust the volume for the different sections of your final product in the editing process. The opening and closing sections were fine. The middle portions where you did the actual work had low sound. Perhaps the answer is you had the volume set too low on your camera for those parts, but you should be able to increase the volume for those parts in your editing. Excellent video overall, though.
Thanks Ralph; yes I’ve got those but the problem is that it sounds fine on my iPad but seems to change once I upload it. It’s annoying. Maybe something isn’t compatible somewhere. I’ve noticed other youtubers have much higher overall gain than mine. Maybe I should just turn up all the volumes and live with the distortion on the ipad knowing it’ll be ok on TH-cam?
Ok I see that you only have 728 subscribers so just to be nice I subscribed also could you build mabe a table and carve little figures in it pleas much appreciated thank you if you can. I see that you are a really nice person and like all content creators you try your best I hope that you get way more subscribers on your chanel and more veiws, mabe use hashtags to get more veiws for people that like wood working, jsut trying to help you out here thanks for the good video.
Thanks Cookie, your comment is very much appreciated! I’m working hard on the channel with limited time, but every little piece of advice I’ve received so far has proved to be useful!
@@mrlinnsworkshop If you build this table it will be of use for you and you get a good video out of it I hope you have a wonderfull day and hope that you build the table thank you for responding to me I love your chanel so much and want the best for it like you.

Thanks Jim. My dad showed me that too! It works; but in this case I couldn’t find a reverse threaded nut that would fit, unfortunately.
Well, in getting this out of an old plane, it makes me wonder why there isn't a slot in the top of this threaded piece so you can just unscrew it?????

I also see that you spend a lot of time and hard work and dedication to your videos keep up the good work Jim.
Thanks!! I will. Good comments like this helps with my enthusiasm!

You are to lie-nielsen planes is like what AMG to mercedes benz.
Thank you Saad! That’s a really kind thing to say 😊
He should put a turbo on it.
@spilleradam 🤣
The sound is too low.

This is exactly the kind of feedback I need!
@@mrlinnsworkshop Others probably edit on a computer with far more cspabilities than an I Pad or smartphone.
