- In this video I show you how I made a simple kerfing plane for re-sawing wood by hand. I used mostly hand tools and all it takes is a couple of hours and some scrap wood. Thanks for watching!

Nice bit of work there pal, thanks for showing this!
Thanks for the great video and design.
Thanks for watching!
Just found your channel. I’m enjoying the meditative creativity of hand tool work. Thank you for this.
Thank you for watching!
Great job, simple solution to a problem, how to re-saw by hand without loosing to much wood with a kerf that wonders.
Thanks for watching and commenting again!
Thank you much for the video. I just ordered a super cheap back saw by great neck (probably enough stock to make 2 at least and 4 if I want to cut the plate and cut my own teeth). I was just looking to see what others had done to make their own and compare what I’ve drawn to what others have done so I could get some “lessons learned”. Admittedly, I’ve been a subscriber of yours for a long while, but somehow never saw this video. Thank you for describing you thought process and build so clearly!
Thanks for watching and subscribing! A death in the family got me off track, but hopefully I'll be able to start making videos again in the near future.
I needed to cut 3 mm lumber for my ukulele building. I use a chinese cheap backsaw, 3 mm MDF on top of the blade grabbed with masking tape and a piece of oak very straight and wider than the backsaw blade on top of the mdf. With two presses I grabbed everything. A sandwich. I took me less than five minutes and worked fine. If you want other measures just add or remove mdf from this sandwich.
Excellent !
Good job, thanks for sharing your skills, your voice sounds like erik gorgeous.
nicely done. My first attempt at a 1 size kerfing plane - not so good - not enough blade support. My second attempt, I followed your lead. Much better, especially for cutting precise resaw strips. Thanks for the design.
Great to hear the information was useful! Thanks for watching!
good job
👌👌👌
Very interesting. Nice work. Sometimes you may want your kerf to be a specific depth. As an option you could add an adjustable depth stop like the old Rabbet Fillister planes.
Thanks for watching! My kerfing plane is strictly for resawing so I want that kerf to be as deep as possible. But, yes, you could add a depth stop and use it for inlay purposes, etc.!
Interesting build. Just subbed. I really enjoy hand tool woodworking.
I've been meaning to make one of these for a while now. I've been debating between push and pull. I have both Western and Asian, so I might make one of each at some point.
I know with Western saws the steel is generally too hard to drill with normal drill bits. Are the Japanese saws able to be drilled with normal bits or would I be looking at another instance where the bits just don't drill properly?
Thanks for subscribing! I was able to drill through this blade with a DeWalt metal bit. The bit did dull after about four or five holes though. I'm sure a higher end bit of better quality would give you no problems. As for push vs pull, I find it easier to control the plane on the pull stroke. Since I used a rip blade the plane is difficult to start when cutting the kerf on the end grain, so that control helps to keep everything straight.
@@TenonsTenors Thanks for the reply and info. I have a solid carbide spade bit in my Amazon cart I was planning to purchase for just this purpose.
I am looking forward to watching more of your videos. I hope your channel takes off!
@@red58impala Appreciate it!!
great video.
why are your hands floating though? huh weird.
you're not doing golf commentary.... please, SPEAK UP ;)
Sorry, my first videos were made with a very old camera. Audio has been fixed on the newer videos. Thanks for watching!
@@TenonsTenors and hear, I thought you were going for dramatic effect! :) Seriously inventive tool craft. Thanks for overlooking the tone of my comment.... I just subscribed! Doug
