Excellent tutorial! After watching, I did realize that I knew what needed to be done, but didn’t know the correct order it needed to be done in. Thanks for going into such detail! Super helpful!
Great follow on video. It’s good to see you describe the reasons both why and how things are done. Thinking about the temperatures, originally thought about converting garage into a workshop. In Aquitaine, temps get into mid / upper 30’s through summer so decided to convert part of the cellar instead.
Super video. It is looks like my Sunday workout will be in my little garage. I never done it by hands but i it time to start practising proper woodworking. :) 😂😂😂
Great video,John. Good presentation. First video I’ve seen with minimum hand tools for squaring stock…and I have all the tools except I use a #5-1/2 jack plane.
Question for ya John, what finish did you use on your bench? Have a enough kiln dried beech to make the top and some pine for the legs etc but it will be in a very old cavity block shed with a tin roof so humidity etc is a factor here in Ireland
Jesus John..... you need to rehydrate 😓. That looked like hard work. I would have folded and hit the thicknesser as soon as possible.... but that's not the point 🤔. Looks like I need to get myself a decent Jack plane and get shaving. A great way to appreceated your stock before you turn it in to "a thing". Keep up the great content 😁👍.
Good job but you have used a shooting board which wasn't in the tool choice also the bench with vises try using a black and decker work bench rocks all over the place

A lot of hard work, but perfect when like me, you don't have the fancy machinery! Thanks for posting!
This is the best and clearest video on preparing stock that I have watched. It finally makes sense to me. Thank you.
Great! glad it helped

No problem

Thank you!!! Now I know why I have so many wedge-shaped pieces of wood....that I worked very hard on....and were not supposed to be wedge-shaped!!!
No problem Sandy glad it helped.
Who needs the gym!
Woodworking Workout. 👍🏻 another great video.
I was thinking about taking up woodworking, only using hand tools. After watching this I have reservations.
Its not so hard don't be put off.

You, sir, earned tonight’s beer.

Glad it was helpful!
Good and satisfying workout love the sound of planning!!
Good video again man. Was bloody hot today!
Fabulous , might do that soon .🤔
How long did it take? My first 500mm board took me around 5 hours. Second one bit faster, will probably become quicker as I get experienced

Boiled Linseed oil, does the job easy to apply and you can apply another coat whenever you need.

Thanks, did you bother waxing it afterwards?
What degree micro bevel did you use in the low angle jack. And did you use different bevels for different jobs.
its a 25 degree primary with a secondary bevel of about 30
How to refill your minerals ? Guiness or Kilkenny ? I feel with you. I'm currently in Malaysia, even marking gets my sweating 😨😨😨
hi John. you mentioned painting the end of the board to limit splitting while its drying. what did you paint it with? cheers
Just an outdoor wood paint I had lying around, a pva and water mix better
@@JohnMcGrathManInShed awesome. cheers!
How many times did you have to sharpen the blade while squaring that piece of stock? Great video. Thank you.
Only sharpened it once before I started that's all
@@JohnMcGrathManInShed that's amazing.

I just come here for the Scottish accent. At least I THINK it's a Scottish accent.
I'm Irish lol
@@JohnMcGrathManInShed Oops! I guess I was a wee bit off there, which for me, being Russian, is probably excusable. Irish accent will also do. :-)
I’m gonna be a lazy woodworker I think...#NoHandPlanes
