Last week I ordered and received all five volumes of Mr. Blackburn’s woodworking books, which are as delightful and educational as the man himself. Highly recommended. Thank you for these treasures, Mr. Blackburn!

Excellent as usual! I never knew why they were called Block Planes; what an interesting source of name. I have an old Stanley Sweet 16 block plane, and I struggle with getting it set so that the palm/lever cap doesn't pop off at inopportune times, even with that annoying attribute it works amazingly well in all situations.

I always struggled to use a shooting board on end grain with a 4 or even a 5 plane, mostly because it's so uncomfortable to hold, but it also just didn't cut well. I also never used my block plane much, because I figured my 4 would always work better. But when I finally tried the block plane on my shooting board, I saw the light! Cuts better and is much more comfortable to hold! You lose some width on your cuts, but it still works for most boards. I'd highly recommend it!

You are building an invaluable library of videos, Graham. It's such a treat to all woodworkers that you've decided to continue your tireless work of spreading the good word of woodworking. I quite honestly feel lucky that you are making this resource which should be available for many, many years to come (hopefully indefinitely, but who knows how KZitem and the internet works in the future). I haven't missed a single of these videos! And reading your books too makes it even better! So thank you!

Hi Mr Graham. I just happened across your channel recently and enjoy it immensely! I wanted to ask if you had any videos regarding tear out, especially on more figured wood or wood grain direction changing. I usually just fall back on my scrapering cards when this happens however when building a large table top and flattening I ran into quite the tear out problem. Thanks for the great content!

retract the blade, and lap the sole on coarse emery cloth stuck to a piece of plate glass untill you see scratches on the entire sole.

It is NOT perfectly square. Ever. Nothing is. Everything has tolerances. (Perfect is a Platonic ideal). When talking about blade angle, it is quite important to note that most block planes are bevel up. It is the cutting angle that matters, rather than the iron angle. Perhaps you should have covered this?

Thank you Sir, this clears things up! I have noticed that in German these are called Hirnholzhobel, meaning "end grain plane". In Swedish they are called Stöthyvel. Stöt means to push, and is the equivalent word for "shooting" in this instance. A shooting board is called a stötlåda, meaning "push-box". So I assumed block planes were sort of a pair to this device.

Hi Graham. Thank you for the videos. They are invaluable. I enjoy the way you present the information and appreciate the depth of content. I ALWAYS want to drop what I’m doing and go to my bench after watching…. One request: could you do a video about planing very thin stock? Or working with thin stock in general? I find it very frustrating, and have a difficult time getting stock a consistent thickness. Mainly, this is a question of how best to hold it all down. Very grateful if you would address it. Thank you
@gjbmunc

Interesting question. I guess it depends on how thin is thin. One thought , if it's very thin, might be to use a scraper (or a scraper plane).

What do you think of the argument, that block planes are more for carpentry, for conveniently having a plane in your pocket (say for trimming a drawer on a jobsite). Thanks for the great video!
