Make the easiest handplane ever (Pt3: fine-tuning and making cuts)
Rex Krueger
Published on 5 Mar 2018More videos and exclusive content: http://www.patreon.com/rexkrueger
It’s time to take our plane out of the clamps, true the sole, and shape the body. While the plane dries, we’ll select our cross-pin and make an easy screw-cap that will go in place of the wedge. We’ll also spend a good bit of time fine-tuning the plane by working on the throat and smoothing out the screw-cap. We’ll also run the plane through its paces on both the edges and faces of boards to see how well it cuts. (Spoiler alert: it cuts really well.)

In part 2 of our easy smoothing plane series, we shape the body, make the screw cap, place the cross-pin, and then shape the body all over again. Good times.

Lots of people have trouble finding good handtools. Luckily, many quality tools can be made in the home shop. In this video, I’ll start showing you how to make a quality smoothing plane out of readily-available materials. We’ll cover the types of wooden plane and which one is best for the home woodworker. We’ll also make an excellent, hardened steel blade in about a half hour for less than $20. In my next video, I’ll build and shape the body and get the plane cutting.

You might need a transparent component in your next project, or you might need a material that slides or bends better than wood. May I suggest acrylic? It’s clearer than glass, is impervious to humidity, and it’s flexible. It’s also cheap, so it might make a good addition to your next project. Now, you can buy a bunch of fancy new tools for working with acrylic, or you can learn how to use standard woodworking tools to cut and shape acrylic sheet. In this video, I’ll show you how to do just that.

Bowl-gouges cost a lot of money, but you can make a fantastic gouge out of some simple materials and a few hours time in the shop. Lots of turners have made the famous “Oland tool”, but this video presents an easy, cheap, and nearly idiot-proof method for making an Oland-style tool that can handle large turnings and hard, challenging woods.
