How to Adjust the Lateral Lever of a Bench Plane | Paul Sellers

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

Paul Sellers
Published 18 Jun 2021

Starting out with a bench plane can be daunting and, especially is this so, if you don’t understand the mechanisms that work to adjust the settings.

In this case, I discuss how to use the lateral adjustment lever that enables you to set the cutting edge of the plane iron parallel to the face of the sole. This unique feature revolutionised the adjustability of alignment to make it quick and simple to do but, more than that, it allowed us to immediately compensate when we hone our plane irons out of square.

How to Set a Cap Iron | Paul Sellers

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

Paul Sellers
Published 22 Apr 2021

You can 20 expert woodworkers about what distance to set the cap iron (chip-breaker in the USA) fore-edge to the cutting edge and get 20 different suggestions. Why? Because generally speaking, it is undefined. I personally find that 1/32″ (1mm) works well but watch this video and you will see that you can set it anywhere between 1/32″ and 1/8″ and it will still cut nicely. Myth and mysteries often have no real substance to them so, this is done to bust them.

This little-used terrier of a plane has many different uses, not the least of which is the final fitting of awkward to reach places like the insides of cabinets to ease the fit of elements such as doors and drawers.

Tricks of the trade were at once, hidden from others, even within the trade itself. Paul is passing on many of those tricks as he can to ensure they get used by those that matter the most; those who love woodworking as much as he does can keep these tricks alive.

Why not to use a Block Plane | Paul Sellers

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

Paul Sellers
Published 22 Jan 2021

Thinking of buying a block plane? Watch this first!

I have owned a block plane for all of my woodworking years, that’s 56 years to date, but I have to say that this plane is a plane I might pull out from the shelf once or twice a month. The thing to remember is that most of the time it will not do what you think it should do and it has very little value as a first plane.

Add it if you think you might have a need of it but don’t buy it because you think it’s cute. It’s probably the last in the list of planes I would buy.

How to use a Shooting Board | Paul Sellers

Filed under: Tools, Woodworking — Tags: HandTools, Joinery, PaulSellers, Planes — Nicholas @ 02:00

Paul Sellers
Published 11 Dec 2020

If you have never used a shooting board for squaring up the ends of wood and finalising rough-cut mitres, you are in for a treat.

Nothing works so beautifully for perfecting such cuts, and the pure bliss of slicing off those onion skins to seat the two faces perfectly is second to none. It’s self-explanatory to make one of these, but showing it in use demystifies how they work and why they work so very well. You must make one for yourself. It’s another lifetime piece of equipment for the cost of wood scraps and an hour of your time!
