    Thank you very much. Retired and trying to occupy time with things I always thought of doing but never had the time. Saw a planer on sale and before buying, thought I would educate myself on the technics. You gave me a good idea on how to handle one. The do's and don'ts. Your video was excellent in that you explained and followed up with a demonstration of what you meant. Keep up the good work.

    Thanks for the video. I just bought the planner you demonstrated as I have some door edges I need to clean up a bit and decided that after using a block plane for the last 30 years I deserve an electric planner. When I opened the box I saw the guide and got a little confused about how it worked. I'm glad you covered this in the video or else I would have had to break a long standing tradition of not reading the manual.

    I’m a newbie to woodworking, and basically learning on my own. I’ve had this planner for a couple years now because I couldn’t find the right information to use it properly. This is hands down the best video I’ve come across on how to use this planner. Thank you for such detailed information. Now I’m going to go try it out.. lol. Wish me luck 🍀

    What a great demo and teacher! Now I know how to use a planer. I have several drawers and doors I need to plane down. You explained it so well. Thanks for no music, such joy!
    Glad to see that Ryobi makes one. I'm tired of Dewalt prices for tools made in China.
    Tip - for reclaimed pallet wood - tap the wood out using a piece of wood and hammer.
    Then use an Airlocker Reverse Nail Gun with compressor to knock out all the nails fast from any piece of wood.
    Such a time saver!

    Most Americans say rye-oh-bee. A slightly better way is ree-oh-bee. The correct, Japanese way is lee-oh-bee, where the lee-oh sound is kind of ran together as one syllable. Hard to explain, so just say ree-oh-bee. Great, to the point video!

  • @ilovemywifemost
    @ilovemywifemost 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Good video. But I have some suggested tweaks. From my experience, if I want to take off material in the center area of a board, I mark the start and end points on the board and set the planer depth knob to 0 when I start a pass and as I approach the start mark I start turning the depth adjustment a bit to begin taking out material. When I approach the end mark I start turning the depth knob towards 0 so by time I reach the end mark I am at 0. It takes a few passes and maybe a little practice on some scrap lumber but I find this easier and less chance of taking off too much material at the starting area by dropping the planer down mid-stream of the area that needs material removal.
    I also don't find myself needing to raise the planer up at the end of a run as suggested if I put pressure at the back end of the planer as you suggested but keep the pressure on as I come to the end of the run. I find if you don't time the going upwards just right, you might come up too early and then miss taking off material at the end.

    Thank you for this video. Your explanation of the hand planner was on point and direct. I appreciate it and learned so much. Ryobi’s manual for this tool leaves a lot to be desired. I would have had to learn by trial and error exactly what Ryobi means by pushing the tool down the wood in a “slow” manner, for example. It was good to see the tool in action. Anyway, loved the video and subscribed to your channel. Best regards.

    Thanks for the video, but what’s the best approach for planing a wider face service, more than the width of the planer blade where you want an even planed surface all across the face? You’re video shows the same info most other similar TH-cam videos show on this subject. Would like to see a larger surface bring planed and demonstrated.

    I've never used one but I've always wanted one. Good tips & anyone can practice on their scrap pieces of wood until they get the hang of it or buy couple cheap 2x4 studs to practice on. Ryobi is pretty good from what I hear. There's nothing wrong going with some of your tools cheaper than others. Especially if you don't necessarily use that tool all the time. Often it's best to get the cheaper brands in that case. But ya know it's also good to look up reviews on TH-cam for tools rather than reading reviews on website. Now I'm definitely interested in this planer! I have no idea about Ryobi's line of battery operated tools though. Very interested in some of them as well. Love the color of Ryobi tools!

    Good video, definitely learned a bit. Looking to get and use one to hand plane some slabs I cut with my chainsaw, and they are definitely bumpy. If I wanted to take all those high spots down first, would going over it with 0 first be the way, or just start on the first adjustment, and go from there?
