Maybe a fun future build. Looks like a nice slow moving project to teach gooooood patience. Thanks for sharing. Subscribed!

Great video. Thanks!

It’s ridiculous that Canada has so many import restrictions. There are so many good quality tools available to the rest of the world.

Yet again, Gary, I'm following your lead as it's just some of the best content out there. Shaping my chop tomorrow, will let you know how it goes!

I got a WR # 4 1/2, and tunes/set it up, it does a good job. But it did need some fettling or working on parts of the lever cap and the cap iron. You did not check for flatness on the lever cap, I needed to do a small amount of flattening across the contact point of the lever cap onto the cap iron. Small detail, but checking flatness of all contact or mating points including the frog surface, even on a higher end modern plane should be advised.

Thanks again for the organizers! Makes it much easier to find the correct wrench without searching!

Great stuff Gary, I think I've watched all of your videos on the Roubo build, very nice compliment to the Bench Crafted instructions. And being a Canuck also, hooray for Robertson screws. Living in the Yukon, good quality hardwood is hard to come by, I think I've scrounged enough over the last couple of years to get started. I really like your use of the contrasting walnut. Question, is your endcap a solid piece or is it a laminate? Hoping you say laminate since getting anything thicker than 8/4 up here is pretty difficult. Cheers from Whitehorse.

Beautiful job

I watched 29 seconds. GONG

Thanks for the video, I just finished cutting mine and everything went so smoothly following the steps

I love the smile on your buddys face at the end. Great job and thanks for sharing.

I have this install coming up soon. Appreciate the tip re: counter bore before you tap. Let me ask you, did you buy/use a tap for metal or for wood? I've been told that the metal taps will work just fine in wood and that's what i originally bought. Then i got nervous about it not being right in a very large and expensive hunk of walnut so i ordered a wood tap. Thanks again for the video Gary! You've been a huge help to me through this build!

I love projects like this. I appreciate the tips sprinkled throughout...thanks Gary!

Doesn't your neighbour have a 3d printer to organize his wrench drawer?

The minor gaps show the authenticity of using hand tools imo

Where's the writhing knife? Unsafe!

I found your channel when looking for a video on the installation of a tail vise. I enjoyed the way you explain your processes so I started watching some of your other videos. You present considerations that I haven't heard from some other creators such as the point you made in your bench building video regarding the grain orientation when laying out the pieces of the bench top so it doesn't get tear out when the time comes to plane it to remove any damage that will inevitably occur. Well done and I look forward to viewing more of your videos.

Gary you son of a gun, this is brilliant! I really didn't want to schlepp to the store just to buy dowel stock and i really don't want to spend on a dowel plate. Gary to the rescue! Setting up to make this jig now!

Its a 1/4 inch drill bit for tapping first and then use the 5/16-18 tap, which is standard. I'm planning on putting out a comprehensive, step by steop, vid for installation because after spending 500+ on this it is nerve racking and there arent really any comprehensive vids out there on this.. stay tuned. it really isn't that hard guys and despite a lot of other videos, not this one, everything doesn't need to be perfect like a lot of people do. there is SOME error. For example, the 1-1/4 hole that goes through the chop and leg. its really hard to get perfect, there is 1/8 inch play all the way around.

Eso de cepillar los tablero a mano es super 🎉😂

Thanks

Great stuff thanks you

Why not use a measuring tape and a pencil? No hate just curious.

Sadly, I wish someone would do more of these based on buying from a more traditional store. Rob has great videos, and if I could buy planes from him I would. But he makes a point that all the planes that come through his shop are flattened and sharpened and tuned. I wouldn't have a second thought buying from him, and maybe one day I will try one of his other tools since he can't ship to the USA with Planes (or it gets really complicated lol). I did enjoy the video.

Great video Gary

Love it

Thanks for sharing!

Your prettiest piece yet! Love the curves and grain selection. Top notch work all around and appreciate the tips sprinkled throughout.

I love that design with all the gentle curves. You teach beautifully, and showing parts along with the completed bench makes steps very clear, a la Norm Abrams' New Yankee Workshop. I might have chosen brass pins, entirely a matter of personal taste.

I really like your design and you did a great job on the high quality craftsmanship.

Great! But, How did you attach it to the wood bench?????

Excellent video. I did the tune up, worked great. When I took my fence off and tightened it up, and replaced it back, it is rubbing the table on the right side now. The bolt in the middle won't hold it up. How do I correct the sag? Please help. Thanks Mike J.

Excellent series of videos on the bench build, I'm going to steal your ideas for the gap stop! Is the gaps stop made up of 5/8 thick stock or 3/4? Thanks

Came out awesome man!

Why are you wearing a too belt

Just found your channel, like what you were showing and how you showed it, so i subscribed

Sorry to hear all the issues you have had. I was having issues as well when setting up with only feeler gauges and no proper dial indicator. The dial indicator was unbelievably helpful for getting things finely, finely tuned and since then I haven’t had any issues, but it hasn’t been that long either. It sounds like yours was a dud. Really hoping mine continues to keep square and doesn’t have any issues in future.

I just made a comment on an earlier video in which u asked for ideas on the apron. I mentioned the magnet idea and see you’d already implemented it. I like this design quite a bit. I’m sure they’re not cheap but it’ll last a lifetime.

Nice addition. Have you done any videos on shooting boards and was wondering if you have a dedicated shooting plane or use another plane. Thx!

Not sure if any aprons have this or not but I was thinking of those wrist straps that have a magnet(s) in them for the random screw or other small parts. I do find those handy on occasion and it might be an interesting feature somewhere on the apron in addition to a few pockets. Obviously if you integrate a magnet or two, pretty small, flat would be better, but there are plenty of super strong magnets that are thin and small. I like the simplicity,look of the apron w/out too many pockets but a few would be handy for a pencil, maybe the comb sq. I love the look f the leather of your apron over the carhart type mtl. (Another thot regarding the magnet idea, I might want a few small loops as opposed to full pockets (or in addition to) the loops by themselves might be awkward for holding much but with the small magnet sewn into the fabric just above the loop may make it more functional. Anyway, great video. Cheers

Well Gary, i just watched this again and it's so nicely done. I finished my dog hole strip today, so next weekend it will be time to try the houndstooth tails. Your video has me feeling confident. Thanks!

last year I did something comparable to you. I did some research and found many power tool manufactures who offer the helical cutter heads as an option to straight knife cutter heads are often knock offs from where ever, quality completely unchecked. This doesn’t stop at the cutter heads, take a closer look at the motors, bearings etc, rarely do you see quality motors like Baldor or Lessons on these machines. I found the list of manufactures includes Powermatic. These manufactures are squeezed for profits despite their commercials for high quality blah, blah, blah, they cut corners where they can, when they can. With the expectation the consumers will not notice and if they do notice they can convince the customer there is nothing wrong with their products. At the end of the day, they are hoping, or expecting the consumer will lower their expectations. The old adage of how do you boil a frog applies here (turn the heat up slowly). Back to my experience with my jointer replacement, last year I purchased a brand new Powermatic 8 inch straight knife jointer during the Powermatic 10% off sale to replace my Delta DJ-20, yeah, i know, more on this later. At the same time i ordered a Byrd shelix cutter head from Holbec (great guys). The jointer arrived about 5 days after i placed my order and the Byrd head arrived about 2 months later. I swapped out the heads and saved myself about $600 calibrated the jointer and carried on. Unlike you, I kept my DJ-20 until after my cutter head had been replaced and i was happy with the results, "trust no one", including my ability to swap a cutter head. The Powermatic upgrade makes it my third Byrd head in about 5 years, they make good stuff, you may have to pay a little extra but for me its, worth it. Unfortunately for me, i made a classic mistake, not even a year later i realize i should have purchased the 12 inch jointer instead of the 8 inch jointer for an 8 inch jointer. I suspect i have a do over in my near future with a 12 inch jointer. Now my motivation for replacing my DJ-20, once Delta stopped manufacturing the DJ-XXs raised concerns about a casting failure on my DJ-20, with Delta no longer providing replacement parts for many of their older machines i elected to reduce my exposure to a casting failure on the DJ-20 and swapped it for the Powermatic. BTW i had already gone thru the exercise of the replacing the head to a shelix on the DJ-20 about 4 years ago. If you are a DIYer, like most of us woodworkers are the head replacement is no brainer. There are so many videos out there on how to do this which really helps set you up for success, i really referenced the Wood Whisper video. Apologies for the long winded response

Laguna is losing a lot of business based on quality and customer service.

Where did you get the plans for your woodworking bench? I want to build a woodworking bench..

I like white oak and I am considering a frankenstein jointer myself

Hi Gary, I’m in the process of building a split Roubo. your videos are very helpful. I dont see a video on the split mechanism? What size is it and how do you make it change depth?

Gary, I really appreciate your clear and concise descriptions of your cart and why you built it to satisfy the functions you needed. This is the first cart I have seen with the planer turned in this orientation on the cart which makes a lot of sense for what I assume is to make good use of how the cart stores when not in use.

I’m sorry I don’t like the adjust star just doesn’t look like it belongs on any plane ever made
