Pimp My Plane
13 hours ago by Doug S. | 3 comments »
I’d been lusting after an Infill plane for a while and this one jumped up and bit me. Talking with Ron Brese, I decided to Pimp My Plane with something a bit extra on the level cap screw. So after getting the counterbored screw and some abalone and epoxy, here’s the inlaid cap screw. So far I’ve tried this out on Jatoba, Red Oak, Ipe, Purpleheart, Mango, and Maple, all with excellent resuls. It really doesn’t matter whether you plane with or against the grain a...
Groz #4 Bench and Block plane kit
47 days ago by dsb1829 | 17 comments »
I posted a lot of background over at my blog:Link A good user kit, but not for everyone. This is a good gateway kit into hand planes. Not as nice as the high end brands, but about 1/6th the price of them. They do require tuning. Don’t recommend them to your Uncle or a friend who doesn’t have mental capacity or tools to handle the tuning process (no offense to your Uncle).
Not just for Neanderthals!
54 days ago by BeechPilotBarry | 21 comments »
Most of the time, woodworkers who use lots of power tools flip right by catalog pages, websites, and reviews of so called “specialty planes.” The Veritas Scraping Plane is a specialty hand plane that users of machinery need to give a serious second look. This is not to be confused with the Cabinet Scraper, which looks like a large spokeshave with a flat face and blade bowing screw. Some folks call the cabinet scraper a scraping plane, I’m sticking with the Veritas name...
The Clifton Multiplane
67 days ago by lethentymill | 6 comments »
A new Multiplane is quite an investment – when I started this series of projects five years ago I was still under the spell of this tool and Stanley still had a couple of cheaper alternatives which could be recommended for grooving and cutting dados.Five years on (running evening classes and producing the home learning course), how do I feel about them? The only successor to the Stanley/Record models that I knew was the Clifton – I have three old Stanleys and had one new Clifton; it was th...
Easy to Use, Easy to Adjust, What's not to like
90 days ago by 3fingerpat | 10 comments »
This is the second project I am using this Router Plane on and it is working great. It is very easy to make adjustments and lock down the blade. The handles are in a very comfortable position which makes it very easy to control the cuts as you push\slice thru the 1\2” dado in this case. I am making more shelving for inside my tool cabinet to accomodate several new planes and hand saws. I have only used this plane on Pine and Poplar, but will be trying it out on some Bubinga next, I&...
Specialized plane that has a lot of uses
129 days ago by ShannonRogers | 6 comments »
I got a great deal on the set of these on ebay, but after using them on my new countertop and router table to trim edge banding I would definately pay full price in a heartbeat. These use the same thick iron and easy adjustment as all the other bevel up planes in the Veritas line. I followed the set up instructions included and was making shavings in just a few moments. After using the set screws to dial in the fit, I pulled out the iron and honed it up to 8000. The back of the iron was a...
A fun joinery plane
160 days ago by johnjoiner | 15 comments »
First off, I’ll point out that I have nothing to compare this to. I have never used any other plow plane, and have little experience with any other kinds of joinery planes. This is easy and fun to use. No tools are needed to do anything on this. Blade removal and all adjustments are toolless. The only thing I can think of to complain about is access to some of the knobs. I’d say I have average sized hands and fairly dexterous fingers. But I had trouble getting at the knob...
Very Nice - Very Small Bench Plane
220 days ago by RickH | 0 comments »
I picked up this Lie-Nielsen #1 bench plane several weeks ago at Woodcraft on sale, intrigued by it’s small size and quality. It is the first Lie-Nielsen plane I own (though I have a number of Veritas) and as you would expect from either of these brands it is extremely well made. With it’s brass body and maple handles it is almost too nice to use as a tool – it looks that nice. It is based on the famous Stanley No. 1, 5½” (14cm) long with a 1-3/16” (3cm) x ....
Great Economy Scraper!
220 days ago by Hawgnutz | 1 comment »
this scarper is a great economy CARBIDE scraper at half the cost of similarly equiped scrapers. its carbide tips can be flipped over when dull, to save time for sharpening until the job is finished. This scraper works really well to remove pencil and slight burn marks, as well as scraping the oldest paint! This is a versatile scraper! The large handle gives you unbeleivable control in tight spaces, yet lets you reduce pressure when needed. At only $18, normal price, this is a simple ad...
Great Small In-Your-Hand Plane
220 days ago by RickH | 3 comments »
Owned this Veritas Apron plane for several weeks now, and like the other Veritas planes I have I found it to be extremely well made and a joy to use. This is one of the smallest I have in their line up, with only a 1 1/4” wide low angle, bevel up blade iron. It has a 5-1/2” x 1-3/4” ductile cast iron body for durability, and their great combination blade depth and blade angle adjuster. It is very comfortable to hold in your hand, and cuts very nicely. Ready to go rig...
