For the record, a jointer plane is typically longer than the 17" plane in this video. What I made here is more like a try plane, but very few people know what that is, so I called it a jointer. Hope no one's confused!
Here in Europe, it's pretty easy to pick up old try or jointer planes cheaply and fix them up. I've got more than I can use. Anyone who comes to my workshop in Vienna can have one for what I paid- five bucks.
@@therealzilch Gilt das Angebot auch für Deutsche...
@@senorwaffelino6127 Selbstverständlich. Ich bin ja kein Frömmler. :) Melde dich und komm vorbei.
@@therealzilch, Ich liebe Wein! I needed a good excuse to go back. Thanks!
anyway I joint with a try plane and you know what.....It works :)
Thank you for mentioning Paul Sellers in this video. There are so many woodworkers that take liberties with Pauls techniques and then fail to even mention his name while doing it. I'm a huge fan of Pauls, and if it weren't for Paul, I would have never found your channel, which I enjoy. Thank you Rex.
This is like my fifth time watching this video. I have an old transitional that I picked up years ago when I knew nothing, just wanted to fiddle around with. It's missing a tote and has a small narrow crack in the middle of the mouth. No one has plane body builds, except for you. Always love watching your content and thanks for existing!
Thanks for watching! Nice comments like this really brighten my day.
@@RexKrueger For sure! After the holidays I'm going to be scooping up some plans and hope I can get out to my shop. Happy holidays to you and your loved ones and stay safe in this crazy world.
Hey, all my plans are half off right now. But that sale ends tomorrow. Might as well get them while they're cheap!
@@RexKrueger I think you might be right about that! I'm on it!
We recently lumbered a 36" maple, a 36" white ash, and a 32" pecan. After drying, we tried planing with a Rigid (Home Depot) 13" planer with 2 HSS knives czcams.com/users/postUgkxIzvvTi3_Qc8JnVdYYRJCvuoDC4QjTzeL . This job was clearly too much for that machine. The pecan was particularly difficult, due to heavy mineral deposits, and a sharp pair of HSS knives would be consumed by a mere 3 boards. We were also having lots of problems from chip bruising, due to poor dust collection. The shavings came off like straw and jammed in the 4" hose.We bought the DW735 simply to be able to run carbide blades, which worked brilliantly for the pecan. However, we found it to be a much, MUCH nicer machine. It was far more rigid than the "Rigid" planer, and far more accurate as well. But what I liked most about it was the dust feed. This machine has its own blower, which shreds the "straw" like shavings as they come off the cutting head and helps boost the shavings into the dust collection system. No more clogs! It's also nicely sealed so that the internals stay quite clean. This is just a well tempered machine that's a delight to use. It literally cut the labor in half. Just another example of getting what you pay for.
Why are you talking about an electric thickness planer? Why not talk about puppies or helicopters? Just as relevant.
Your content is therapeutic. Instantly sparks motivation to start building. No matter what. Just building and creating 💪🙏❤
Totally agree.
Agreed
👏👏
Your “Educator” is showing! About mid video you give a technique for handling frustration, and I immediately remembered hearing about your time in the classroom. I am definitely repurposing your “fresh eyes” and “take a deep breath” methods to use with my Geometry students!
You are gifted with this platform. Clear direction sans superfluous sidetracks, encouraging delivery, and never do you speak down to your students. You’re a master of the media; keep making your art!
Cheers!

Yep a natural teacher.
Thank you once again Rex for another amazing video! A lot of woodworking YT Channels often rely on the assumption that premium power tools are a given - for those of us with the lack of finance it's utterly refreshing to see the genuine artistry in your work, championing the power, effectiveness and complete relevance of hand tools. Keep on doing what you're doing; it's a great cause!
Bit of quick background, 35 and retired my sister incubated some duck and quail eggs but can't keep them so I've been building a pen at my house out of pallets I needed a workbench to aid in construction stumbled onto a video of a fellow bald man... ok so now that you're all caught up I've consumed your content which is formatted in simple consice instructions and loaded with a wealth of knowledge and decided it's never too late to pick up a hobby I'm coming out of retirement and will keep you updated thank you for the inspiration.
Excellent video, Rex! Please know that you were truly missed the past couple of weeks or so! It’s great to have you back.
Perfect! I've a no 4 sized plane that once belonged to my dad's father. He was a carpenter for the Army during WWII. I don't think it is a Stanley, but I do know the body is cracked, making it little more than a decoration and memory. I also have a good sized chunk of cherry culled from my mother's father's orchard 40-ish years ago. He was a hobbyist woodworker and I have several of his old chisels and planes (no. 5, low angle block, rabbeting), though I only remember him using power tools (my uncles wanted those, but not the hand tools). I think a useable and useful plane built out of mementos from both of my grandfathers would be an awesome project!
Thanks for all these videos.
I have limited space and budget, but I've recently discovered that woodworking is really theraputic for me. It helps me feel connected to my Dad since he passed away -- he was an engineer and handyman who designed and built some really impressive carpentry projects, but he didn't have a ton of tools meant for fine woodworking like hand planes. Videos like this are helping me bridge the gap between my Dad's expertise and my personal interests.
Thanks again, and remember that you're having an impact!
I highly recommend a lathe file for metal, especially cast iron. The teeth are angled more and it has a smoother shearing action than a mill file. Plus it leaves a better surface finish.
Me this morning: I need to shop for a long wooden bodied plane
Rex this morning: I'm premiering an adjustable (wooden bodied) plane build
You win again Rex.
Great video Rex, as always.
I'm sure we're all looking forward to your new projects for 2021.
Welcome back Rex.
We love you.
You're one of my favorite CZcamsrs :)
As always, spectacular explanation and details. Thanks Rex!!
I plan to build a solid all wood jackplane for a while. I have a beautifull antique Iron and some european beech in my forrest. It will be a 40 cm plane and maybe with a cherrylaurel sole.
I’m so glad someone finally did a video on this type of plane! And you did it your own way. Great job, Rex!
Great video as always Rex. I always love watching your antics and expertise. Happy new year!
Love your projects. I’m slowly getting the shop set up like I want. Thanks for the videos and motivation.
I really appreciate your attitude, energy, and overall approach to woodworking. Always a delight to watch!
Nice project Rex !
Rex, I'm new to your channel and have been really enjoying the financially efficient focus of your videos. It's really kicked me in the pants, and I'm back to woodworking after a fair sized break.
I look forward to seeing this and future videos!
Wow, it just so happens that I have a bunch of Stanley parts from broken planes because 'they'll be good for something.' And here we go, they're going to be good for something. :D
I need to rush down the antique shop and buy up those cheap broken planes before anyone else does!!!
@@gregmislick1117 hee hee Just goes to show you, one man's junk is another man's treasure :D
Indeed - Picked up a No 5 last summer, the side was broken away but all else was fine! Spare parts!
I bought a set of those Grebstk chisels after seeing your video on them. I’m really impressed with how well they hold an edge.
I've recently become a big fan of your channel. I picked up a plane that had seen much better days and restored it, then I thought "maybe I should try using it!" And so, I started scouring YT for videos on how to do that and stumbled across your videos. And then I made a mallet. And a basic wooden box with simple dovetails. I'd already made a bench of sorts, but now I'm planning to make the joiner's bench. And probably this plane. I see a pattern emerging...
Anyway, thanks for the excellent videos, they're highly appreciated.
An extremely good communicator.
fantastic work Rex
About a year ago I built one of these after watching this video. I wanted my frog to sit nice and flat because I built an extra sliding dovetail mechanism to adjust the mouth. Long story short, some epoxy and a nice piece of flat steel will get you a piece of perfectly flat surface with good wear characteristics.
What a great idea. Exellent
I’ve been waiting for you to do this kind of video for months it feels like. Thank you so much!
One of your best videos! I loved it
Aww yiss, Rex is back!
You just got a new subscriber. I like that you're showing a pragmatic compromise between new and old tools, and not making out you need every new expensive tool under the sun. I really love Paul Seller's content, but sometimes I find he's so experienced that some of his recommendations, such as just using a No 4 are tricky for a beginner. I think your two channels should complement each other very well.
thanks, I recently bought a wooden Marples jack plane and this helps me
Nothing else to say except thank you for the years of excellent content Rex!
I get an amazing amount of enjoyment out of making the planes that you, in your bundle, Paul Sellers in his poor man projects and James in his Wood by Wright series have shown. Yes, I held my breath with a few of the earliest attempts but I've enjoyed making and using them a lot. I did kinda slow myself down when I decided to build your low angle Jack because I don't like aluminum and wanted brass but I finally located a local source for enough for a few projects. I dunno, might do one of these and retire my 18" transitional.
Increíble easy to folow you, such a clear english, gracias amigo, just discovered you
Rex, you are AWESOME!! Ive been looking for something like this for a while. Thank you!!
great video of a tremendously complicated project David
Superb. Thank you.
Good video Rex
Looks great Rex!
Loved it.
Nice video, Rex!
Just stumbled on your channel and I love what I’ve seen so far. You carry a very genuine and sincere vibe that I love, and your video length / instruction to visual ratio is golden. I don’t usually leave CZcams comments, but I felt really compelled to say great job, and I hope you continue to be successful in spreading good content and teaching & inspiring people out there with woodwork. I’ll be sharing more of your videos on social media. 👍
I've got my grandfather's long plane he made around 1900. It will need some TLC, including re-flattening the sole and sharpening the iron.
Thank you, Rex! I've been trying to figure out how to make a jointer plane. I've done a lot of the "Woodwork for Humans" projects and have learned a lot. This one looks interesting...
Nicely done! Thanks.
Well Rex, Here we are more than a year from lock down. Thanks for posting all these great videos ! You inspired me to do
more than a few of your projects. Here is hoping we will be leaving Covid behind us! Stay safe everyone...
This is my favorite video yet!
Beautiful !
Great vid.
Hey Rex! Each of your videos is better even than the last! I'm really enjoying your innovative shoestring approach. It's so different to many other videos that attempt to persuade us to buy what we need, whereas you give us the information to MAKE what we need.
I feel you're the spiritual successor to the great Roy Underhill.
Now I love a sharpie as much as the next guy but I think its time you learnt the joys of Blue Dykem when marking out surface for leveling, no more coloring in or pulling all the crust off the nib.
Also at 3:00am last night/this morning you saved me from buying a dogshit Spokeshave on amazon, cheers buddy.
To build a plane you must first create the universe...
Welcome back Rex, great project. Happy New Year 👍
Great project!
Love this idea, my wooden fore plane is probably my favorite plane but lacking adjustability of the modern planes.
That is a fine plane. I love iron planes, but the finish wooden planes give straight from the factory, is incredible. Well done.
Love this video and your channel. Happy new year!
Rex, "
I just went through your video on making the jointer plane.
It looks a bit intimidating and worried about attempting it, but oddly, I’m really excited to give it a try.
Thanks for the needEd shot of enthusiasm. I’ll be able to get started next week.
This should be great fun.
Thanks for the quick translations to centimeters.
Interesting. One thing about the wood moving over night. I have a friend, Eric Lofstrom, a turner who makes 'Breathing Boxes' on the lathe. If you pick one up by the lid, it takes a couple of seconds for the bottom to fall off, or 'breathe' off.... His process to make them involves turning the box down over about 6 or so months so the wood can 'adjust' to having stock removed. That may be handy for this type of project. I do have some lignum hanging around, if I can find it.....
Happy New Year Rex. Great first share.
7:47 A tip while sanding. Because the leading side will lose material faster, due to the trailing side being lubricated by dust, it helps to turn the part 180 degrees and sand with the opposite side leading. Alternate every so often. And when you're within a dozen or so strokes of being done, alternate every other pull.
Good thinking buddy, a valuable technique to keep in mind when finishing to precise dimensions and fit.
This is an excellent project! I have neither the need for another jointer, nor the time to build one. That being said, I might just have to make one anyway. Wicked awesome!
Excellent! I have a busted plane sitting in the garage, AND I was just thinking about how I wish I had a jack or a jointer plane. Now I know what to do with the extra plane. Good timing, thanks!
This is a great build.
after watching many woodworking videos i finally decided to make a project myself. thx for the inspiration
its a rocking chair btw
@@jrk1666 good luck!
Nicely done Rex. I'm not into tool construction but if I were this would an excellent guide for me. Thank you for sharing. Have a great 2021 and stay healthy.
Fantastic intro. Well done.
Thank you so much Rex, for inspiring me once more. You've done it again! I have an old jointer (22") that I was considering re-mouthing as it's worn out. I wasn't much looking forward to that project, as it isn't really a good quality well made one to begin with and a wedged single iron. I also have a few old planes and plane parts lying around. You know what? I'm shooting for a full 22" jointer version of what you just showed us. I have some 1/4" beech and other bits of beech all recovered from old furniture, so it's good and dry. A nice figured Indian or Indonesian wood block for the front section and it'll look great.
Great video as always!
Great, thx Rex!
Outstanding!
Got the plans and built this. Soooooooo satisfying when I took the first few cuts. Paper thin and just glides over the work piece. None of my metal planes come close.
Thank Rex!
In my opinion, this is a great video. I have made krenov style planes in the past. Your plane is close to a transitional plane. This might be my next project considering I have several flea market planes in the garage. Thanks again for the video.
Happy new year Rex to you and your family, thx for the video´s
Interesting idea. Have wanted a No7 for awhile. Maybe I'll just make one.....nice. Good video. Thanks for sharing.
always a treat thanks Rex ^^
Great video, thank you! Decent metallic jointers are crazy expensive, very heavy and still seem quite short. In my country antique ones are totally abscent either on the web or flea markets so it is definatley worth considering building one. However, I need a fully metallic one for flattening block planes.
happy new year. I learn a lot from you. Look forward to this years content. If I make a plane like that I think I would plan it out a year in advance. Buy the wood specifically for it.. set it aside for a year so it can really be solidly dry and adjusted to my desert environment. Then I would worry less about it drastically needing adjustments after I made it. Note to self.. get some hardwood.
This is such a good idea, I'm surprised more people don't do this, I just see promotions for big tool companies all the time. I don't think I would have bought a jointer if I saw this a couple years ago. Great job!
I like the style of the hybrid planes you make. I am planning a Kernov style block plane with some figured red gum and a mower blade
Just wanted to say I have a guitar made from sapele and I think it's an absolutely beautiful wood.
Really enjoy your lessons. I've learned quite a bit since starting this wood working journey a couple months ago.
Happy New Year Rex!
You're great!! Keep up the good work.
I started watching this video and 5 minutes in, I found myself in the shop gluing up a block for a wooden jack plane. I don't have any extra plane hardware, but the inspiration is there and I am going to make it work one way or another!
Awesome and fun video!
You nailed it with this vid, im in this exact situation.
Always interesting
Great content and explanation. I hope someday I'll be able to build my plane. :) Thanks for the ideas, excellent channel!
Hey Rex , great vid thanks, Happy new year stay safe
very cool
Such a good idea!
Good to see you back Rex. Hope you had a good break and your batteries are freshly charged!
Hi Rex, now that a years gone by, would love to hear how the plane has done and maybe a follow up vid showing how to tune it up after use/time has gone by. Cheers!
When I first saw the old Stanley I thought nnnooooo but there are loads of post war number 4s around ( here in the UK at least) and I think you have done the old girl proud. Well done.
I must have been living under a rock since I started following you because I had not seen this video yet... I have a literal metric butt load of parts I can turn into cool planes like this !!!
