- Testing a brand new Luban hand plane to see if it is any good. And I did a couple of odd jobs between having Christmas lunch with the family.

omg I don’t think I’ve ever seen one that big before.. I’m talking about the jointer
I like my Qiangsheng number5. Same as Luban, I think. Much heavier than Stanleys. Less backlash on adjuster. I also have the block plane and block rebate plane. All work perfectly and cheaper than Lie Neilsen, Veritas etc.
I have several of the Luban planes now, and have never had a complaint about. They're excellent value for money.
I had a quick play with the Luban planes at the timber and woodworking show, they seemed to go alright. The cot bits are looking good mate, no rest for the wicked.
I really like that Luban plane. It is a #4 and I have been after a #5 for a while. It's clear winner as to which do I buy, Lie Nielsen, Veritas (bah, terrible stuff those things), an old junker that I refurbish or the Luban. Luban all the way without a second thought.
I've gone the old junker route with old Australian made Pope Falcons, still have quite a bit of resto work to do on those
nice video, BUT get those hands away from the saw blade, Thats what the clear plastic guard is for!!
the name of the assembly that you are searching for is a cornice, just like the one between the wall and carpet in your house.
The part between the wall and carpet would be called a skirting board, at least that's what it is called in Australia. The cornice would be between the wall and the ceiling, the small cove profile. Though I'm not sure what part you are referring to within this video.
Good on ya mate, I prepared a 10 part series on my workbench build with only final editing left and once the holidays hit I couldn’t be bothered with youtube.
Cheers mate. I certainly hope you find the motivation to finish the editing after the holiday season. I love your videos, you are not so super serious and can clown around in the vids. It cracks me up 😀😆
I’ve got 2more of those hidden herringbone doors to make then I’ll be free from that job and have some time to put towards it but I’m also waiting for my big twin screw vise to come from Canada so I can release the complete set at once.
coming along great mate, hope you had a good christmas
Thanks man. I did have a good Christmas. Xmas lunch with the sister and then back to the salt mines making the baby cot for her. I hope you enjoyed your Christmas.
Hey Guys. Thanks for watching. I realised this morning while watching this video back, I made a newb mistake at the end. I do things the hard way without realising sometimes. At the end when I was doing that dicey manoeuvre on the saw, all I had to do was keep the blade tilted at 8.8° and slide the timber panel vertically hard up against the fence. Duh! One of those light bulb moments 😀
Kuffys Woodwork such is life. Nice to see a couple of video's in quick succession. I should follow your example.
Live n learn hey Dave. You should follow my example. The first video was finished edited at about 10pm, the second at 3am, and the third at 2am. Luckily I am having late starts at 8am 😀
also if you are dealing with such small pieces of wood, use a band saw instead, and angle the table, much safer as the blade is smaller, and this also allows the guard to get closer to the piece, giving more safety to the whole job :-)
I'd suggest removing the gloves when using machinery, too. Very unsafe practice. Banned in a lot of workplaces for good reason.
That plane looks a lot nicer than many of the janky used Stanley planes that follow me home here. But sometimes they only cost me a buck to buy. Price wise Luban seems to fall between Lee Nielsen and WoodRiver tools.
A quick search shows that it is the opposite here in Australia with regards to the pricing. The Luban is slightly cheaper than the Woodriver. I think Luban and Woodriver are the same plane with different names but I could be wrong. I think I have about 10 stanleys under my benches. It's so hard to refuse a decent plane for the price of a coffee :D
@@kuffyswoodwork if the seller values the tool more than I do I let them keep it. A plane has to be really nice and or really cheap for me to buy it now. I just don't have anywhere to put more.
more lumber milling, in a video about a hand plane... lol
I understand exactly where you are coming from Dave, though I find myself in a bit of a pickle with regards to the video titles. I am making a video about the woodworking activities that I do each day while building a few big projects over my summer holidays. When the footage is compiled, I need to pick a title which might attract interested people like yourself to the video, so I don't simply title the vids "this is what I did today 1, 2, 3 etc". About 50% of this video was about that awesome Luban hand plane, so it seems fitting that I titled this video with regards to that. I will be breaking out the hand planes on the actual job soon enough, so if you are not already, consider subscribing and you can pick and choose what you watch given that you now know my thoughts behind the thumbnail image and title that I apply to each video. Cheers mate.
See you're using a Newcastle United shirt as a rag ......................!!!
Haha. Multi talented team then hey? 😀
Stick to the planes that's what i came for
It is a bit of a mish mash of a video. But after owning these Luban planes for about a year, I can still say they are my go to hand planes. Better than my older stanleys, and 10 times better than my Veritas #6. Thanks for watching 👍
O that's ok but are they seriously better than veritas?where can I get one I hear they are reasonably priced.
I think they are better than Veritas. The Luban uses a bailey adjuster which has a wheel to advance or retract the depth of cut. That is conveniently located so you can adjust it on the fly which makes it much easier to set the depth of cut initially. And the lateral adjuster isn't connected to the depth adjuster so once that is set, you don't need to move it again. Whereas the Veritas have a norris style adjuster which has both depth and lateral adjustment on the one lever. Adjust the depth and you likely inadvertently slightly adjust the lateral adjustment as well. It's a royal pain in the butt!
