Slowly getting in to hand planing. Dad gave me his craftsman jack plane he bought in the 60s and I restored it. Bringing it back to life brought a tear to my eye. Now I'm on a quest to get as many planes as I can afford. I think planing boards by hand is a much safer mode than using power equipment. I like my hands and fingers the way they are! Thanks for the tutorial! It will help!

I just straight lined six 12 foot 6/4 and six 8 foot 6/4 pine boards for a counter top. I used a #7 jointer plane and had it all done in less than 30 minutes, both sides, and it was actually fun. I've got a jointer, very seldom use it, and can straight line long boards on my table saw. 80% of the work in my shop now I do with hand tools. Thanks for the video. I'm sure beginners can joint boards now using hand planes and help keep the hand tool trade alive by watching this video.

Actually, you can still straighten the edge of a board with the shorter plane without the aid of a straight edge, this can be shown mathematically to be the case. For this to work, two conditions must be satisfied, one, the number of passes must be large enough, and two, the shavings must be sufficiently thin. The fact you can produce a straight surface using a short tool is the same principle used in civil engineering to carve a horizontal road through an elevation when you cannot see the other side of the elevation and can't use a theodolite.

Like with footwear, they all have their uses, some are good for the polder, others for concrete floors. But in my (limited) experience I would say the No4 is often just as good as the No7 for jointing. Very often grain runs in such a way that taking a cut from end to end is a bad idea anyway. The other day I watched Far East Wood (amazing craftsman) hand plane a work bench top with a very small plane. Planing is mostly experience, not the tool used.

It's been my experience that the #7/#8 tend to twist as I use it. That is as it heats up with use, the plane body twists and leaves you with and unsquare joint. unless the boards are jointed in tandem. I personally use a 5 1/2 and a #4 as you described, and leave the #7 to table tops and such. I Sell ever #8 I run across. Good vid...

I have a jack plane and I pulled the blade back so, when the board was flat, very close to no wood was removed. I had a hump in a board I was planing and just started the plane so the blade was just in from the end. Once the hump got down to flat I stopped taking off wood. If it was concave then only wood on the ends were taken off, as you did.

Thanks for the video. I don't see how you can't get a hump out without having to cut a concavity into it. Why doesn't the longer plane stop shaving after it passes the hump? As long as your weight is still on the back of the plane, it seems like it should, unless the length of the high spot is longer than your plane, or unless the high spot isn't in the middle of the board, but is close to the end that you start shaving on. Although I'm certainly no pro. I've cut big dips into a board that weren't there before, as I was "straightening" it. And got pretty far before I realized what was happening.

James you said that you would be using your 4-1/2 plane because your number 4 was set up as a smoother. What are you differences in these setups? Are you just closing the mouth further, or is the blade sharpened differently? Over all good stuff, I really appreciated this one.
@WoodByWrightHowTo
4 жыл бұрын
Yep. As a smoother I really can't take any more than a half a thousandth off without it clogging. It's set up with an incredibly fine mouth and chip breaker. Most of my planes I back off quite a bit so that I can take off a 1/32"or so. That gives me flexibility to take a really fine shaving or really thick shaving if I want to. And a case like this where I need to take off a decent amount of material I may push the blade forward and take off a lot and then pull the blade back and just take a few fine shavings at the very end.

I clamp the 2 boards you want to join together in the vise. Then plane the edges side by side till the top edge is more or less flat. When you glue them any peaks will be matched to a valley on the other board. The desirable sides of the boards should face each other in the vise. I use a Record #6.

Does the length of the board in relation to the length of the plane matter as to what method is used? Can the method you use with the #7 (where the board was concave to start with and you plane until you get a shaving down the entire length of the board) be used with a shorter length board (say, 24 inches) and a #5 1/2 (with about a 15 inch sole)? Or does the geometry not work out right and you still have to use the #5 1/2 with the method you're using with the #4? Does the degree or shape of the "concavity" matter? Also, how thick of a shaving are you taking with the #7 when you are doing the concave board?
@WoodByWrightHowTo
Жыл бұрын
Yes. Generally the rule of thumb is a plane can do a board twice its length and you know that it's flat. If it's longer than that you generally need to use something else to check for flatness. I'm normally taking a shaving around 100th of an inch to get it flat and then the last shaving or two is around 5/1000 of an inch

In that case you don't start the plane at the end start it in a little ways where it touches and run down the board but don't go out the other end stop the plane where it touches on the other end. That will take out the highest spot and bring it all down to the lowest dimension which is at the two ends.

I’d love to have a long jointer plane, but they’re just too expensive: my only option would be to buy a restored one from the UK, and I wouldn’t use it often enough to justify the price. And Sellers says he never uses a 6, 7 or 8, so… I’ve got a nice straight edge, it’ll have to do.

Right on. There's a lot of people in that same boat. I don't pull out my 6, 7, 8 much at all. But if I'm doing some large jointing I do pulled them out as I have one and it makes the task a little bit faster but not necessary at all.

@@WoodByWrightHowTo Most of all, I think it would be fun to use a long jointer plane, and I’d probably have one if they’d be easier to come by in mainland Europe. Although Sellers also mentioned once or twice that the long ones can warp - that would be another argument against getting one. I think he has a video in which he restores an old wooden or transitional jointer plane and says that the old wood stays truer and/or is easier to fix than the cast metal ones.
