Thanks for this video. I'm doing Kumiko and I hand plane the thickness of small components. I built this jig and it is wonderful, accurate and easy to build. Took about an hour to build and hour for glue to dry. Anyone looking to trim thin pieces this jig is outstanding. GREAT JOB. THANKS
I'm just building a hand plane thickness jig AND THE idea of "fixed sizes" is great,. thanks for sharing. PS this is for thin trim strips on a military flag display case for my wife's uncle's ARMY burial flag
Nice simple jig just one point when making height adjustment do not forget to take in account the blade depth of the plane would be needed to be subtracted from your preset measuring tool
Works a treat. I use plywood gauges, 4mm, 6mm, 9mm, 12mm, 15mm and 18mm all looped together and when I need the depth just use one of the ply gauges. Just cut the ply say 50mm, 2" drill a hole in one end and then loop them all together for handy reference.
Very nicely done and great explanations along the way. Not sure I got the side rails thicknesses correctly. Was that 3/8 inch thick? Thanks for the great video!
That was dead on accurate Good stuff man! &i was thinking the same thing..make one for three eighths of an inch quarter inch eighth inch but yeah bro that's a good idea always learn something new from the prototypes right LOL.
+Joe basement woodworking thanks for the kind words and yes prototypes are always a learning experience. I'm already making a few improvements to the next ones.
+Walt Lars thanks for the suggestions do for watching, I was just testing it out on my plane stop to see how it worked in the video I would probably clamp it to use it. I use the new fangled workbench it doesn't have dog holes but uses two 7ft clamps as the vise and dog hole combo.
It’s a good thing to respect the tool a little fear keeps you vigilant on safety. If you like using a guard that’s a good thing. But some cuts the guard can get in the way.
Excellent idea! I love hand planes and have been looking for new ways to use them. Regarding your suggestion at the end, I have an idea. What if you made it non-adjustable, used threaded inserts in the side, and then made several pre-measured fences that you can quickly attach with machine screws to get the desired height. You would be able to just attach the fences flush to the bottom of the jig body while everything sat flat on your workbench, tighten down the screws, and you're ready to go. I have also seen Marty Backe -- th-cam.com/video/zBTo3s3OB-s/w-d-xo.html -- use fences that are adjustable but he puts a piece of stock the exact thickness he desires underneath the fence to raise it up. But here's an idea. Plane a piece of wood the length of the jig to the desired thickness using your current adjustable setup. Then use the pieces as precision setup shims for the jig.
Since when was "across" spelt with a "t" on the end??? "Acrosst???" Love the concept though, and will defo have a go as my hand plane skills need some tuning.. :-)

Very cool 😎
Yep Ill take your advice and make two or three. My luck is push down to hard and adjustable sides would get off.
TY for the video very helpful!

That is true but the blade is only taking off a few thousands of an inch so it won’t be that noticeable. Thank you for watching and your input.

That’s a great tip thank you. And thanks for watching
Sir very good teaching sir
Thank you very much
Thank you for watching

Thanks for the great video!
I think they were 3/8 thick.
Maybe some beeswax on the runner part might help a bit. Good job !!!
That’s a good tip. Thanks
When I did mine I did make multiple jigs for different sizes.
Wow. That was great. Thank you.
Thank you for watching
I like your suggestion to build several instead of the adjustable model. Thanks for sharing.
Gary Horton thank you it would just save time and make you work more accurate.
The best way to work is to actually use a few different dimensions within your work and then just repeat those dimensions in everything.
great
Thank you for watching
Watching this on tv and the wife pointed out your jorts. She also asked if I have that many clamps
Yeah my hates those Jorts. And you can never have enough clamps.
Very nice!! Thank you!!
Thanks for watching

BACKYARD WOODSHOP always bro!& look fwd to seeing what you do next with it/them🍻
I noticed the jig moving around a lot how about putting a couple of dowels that match your dog holes just drop the dowel into the dog holes

hi.just what i need to know . i must make one . vv good. thanks from the u.k. jack.
Glad I could help and thank you for watching.
perfect, well done
Max D Franklin Thanks for watching and the comment.
thank you
Your welcome thanks for watching.
Great
Although I'm still scared by use of saw without a guard and do not see why. The end product is good

Excellent ideas. All would work. You should try both and see which works better for you. Thank you for watching
Nice add-on, threaded inserts. Thanks for sharing
Thumbs up!
Is that your idea?
No I saw it from another video and made some changes to make it adjustable.

Thank you for watching and the grammar (or speech) lesson.
Another video using saw without a guard
I am very comfortable not using a guard. Each person must decide their level of safety. Thank you for watching
