Filed under: Tools, Woodworking — Tags: , , — Nicholas @ 02:00

Paul Sellers
Published 3 Aug 2021

The frog in the range of bench planes designed by Leonard Bailey for Stanley planes like the #4 smoother here can cause some confusion, but they really don’t do that much either. In this video, I show you what limits it and where it is best to set it to for daily use in planing encounters. It’s dead simple!

How to Adjust the Depth of a No.4 Plane | Paul Sellers

Filed under: Tools, Woodworking — Tags: , , — Nicholas @ 02:00

Paul Sellers
Published 16 Jul 2021

The depth adjustment could not be simpler once you have adjusted the lateral adjustment lever so that the blade cutting edge is parallel to the sole.

This adjustment determines the depth of cut for different thicknesses. I take this seriously when I make my adjustments and the more you practice, the more it will become second nature to you. This quick video will get you started and demystify this very efficient adjuster.

How to Make the World’s Best Router Plane | Episode 1

Filed under: Tools, Woodworking — Tags: , , — Nicholas @ 04:00

Paul Sellers
Published 29 Oct 2021

Can a homemade wooden router plane give you what an all-metal one gives you? It absolutely can!

There are detailed drawings and parts list available here: https://paulsellers.com/router-plane-…

Paul has wanted to answer the need for a low-cost hand router plane that does not, in any way, take second place to any of the established ones made by Stanley and Record in the last century. Neither does it compromise on the utility offered by any of the high-end expensive ones.

This episode is Paul’s answer to a worldwide problem of supply and demand and he guarantees that you will not only love making your own, fully adjustable router plane, but also owning one for a lifetime of work.

Can’t wait for Episode 2 to be released next week? You can watch it it here for free: https://woodworkingmasterclasses.com/…
