what i've been doing #19: Krenov part two.

Great looking plane Dave, and thanks for the entertaining step by step video. I could see myself out in the shop having a wine party with a hand plane (no one else is interested). Good fun! I was very interested in seeing you finish the plane with an airbrush. It looks like just the thing for small projects. I do believe I might try that as soon as I can figure out a way to embezzle some funds out of the joint account.

Mike as always thank you. That airbrush was from Harbor Freight. I had the little airbrush compressor back from when I raced 1/10 scale cars. It has been so handy for small frames and touch up on old furniture. I have only shot shellac through it, and it does that very well. The dye was $3.00 clothes dye from wallmart.Thank you again Mike.

Man is that cool Dave – I can still kinda see the fence post in it tho….:) JK. Turned out fantastic. I’m interested in hearing more about the airbrush and shellac…...anything special? I think I would like to learn how to spray shellac….do you ever finish up with a straight coat of denatured alcohol?

Bet that Jatoba is fun to smooth and finish…...nice job.

Jeff

edit – I guess the airbrush questions were a bit redundant…....sorry….

-- Jeff - I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

Im redundant. My mom had to tell me things two or three times. Jeff the air brush works nicely. I will spray about 4 or 5 coats the first go around. It gets a heavy over spray on the project. I use 0000 wool and bring her down. I then shoot it again HEAVY. Till the point that the finish clouds. I use BLO and steal wool and rub it down till it is smooth. And the BLO doesn’t hurt it a bit.
I have not tried to finish with a coat of pure alcohol. HMMM Might have to see how that works.
Jatoba is a great bottom on a plane. I do not want to work it at the level you do. Resawing that short piece about short circuited my bandsaw.

I might have to pick me up one of these HF guns….can I use my pancake compressor with it?

I think I read somewhere that athe last coat of straight alcohol can fix the runs and sags…..and give it a little pop….

Anything or method used to cut or shape the jatoba is a little scary…...

Great stuff, Dave!

Thank you!

Jeff I use a1/10 horse diaphragm for it. I know some kits come with a reducer and a hose.

just turn down the psi to 10 – 15 lbs and try.

Thanks Joe. I am glad you enjoyed it.

Dave,
That really came out looking great!!!

It almost makes me want to become a hand tool guy! Yeah, I’m impatient and love power. Can you tell that I really liked “Home Improvement” with Tim Allen!!! Wanna play “Home Improvement” the game? I’ll play Tim, you can play AL, the guy that actually KNEW what he was doing!!

BTW: You do a great job with the video. Makes me want to stick around to see how it ends.

-- Randy-- I may not be good...but I am slow!

All right Randy. We are still going to get the one you bought to a user state.
Thank You

the shellac tuch over was great :-)

but I can´t understand why you didn´t wait untill you have finish
the tweeking with the form of the plane
I think you want to round over the back part of the plane
so you don´t have the sharp edges

good luck driving the plane and flying the chips :-)

Dennis

Ahh Dennis thank you. The plane body is done. The problem lies in the wedge. The wedge was designed for a single hand forged blade. I just need to take a rasp and relieve the wedge a little.

-- Superdav "No matter where you go - there you are." http://chiselandforge.com

:-)
there is two places on a plane that need to be topnotch every time
and one is the wedge and the other is the bed for the blade
nomatter what plane you talk about
there is other planes where one or two more things need to be it too
but if you don´t get the bed and wedge right …. well…..

Dennis

I’m subscribed.. thnx for an awesome build. lotsa gr8 technique on that bandsaw, and airbrushin… I really liked the sound o that iron goin in. sounded goodentite. :)

-- Roger from KY. Work/Play/Travel Safe. Kentuk55@bellsouth.net

Thanks for the kind comments Roger. I wont tell no body that I used your wood wine for the stain. Thanks for the subscription.

-- Superdav "No matter where you go - there you are." http://chiselandforge.com

That is cool SuperD. I guess that’s why they call you super.

Also, I now know what a Krenov is, so I don’t have to look ignorant on other threads.
