I am amazed. So since the hole is the reference point for the plane bedding, if you make a tapered hole you get a tapered tenon and straight hole straight tenon? I saw another video where he took the corner of the plane right where the wood enters to not tear. This looks like a fun project I will try to make one. The price of those plans are great, thank you! I like tapered shoulders on the joints (I make twig furniture, all though still a novice :D). I would like to try this I need to make a 3/4 tenon cutter and I dont want to pay 90 quids for one of those veritas ones.
Hi, it's a tapered tenon, until the wood exits, and then it's a straight dowel. This may make more sense if you see my Sussex Chair spindle making films. Rgds Harry
Just when I thought I have seen all your machines , you go and pull out another wonderful piece of kit. Love that lathe. Wonderful demo on the plane construction. I must try this...... Bravo Harry
Excellent! I enjoy all your videos - leatherworking, local fairs, gardening, excursions, whatever - but this reminds me that it is your woodworking I like best. Thanks.
Thank you Harry. I was looking specifically for a 'how to' video on Rounding Planes and found your video. Many thanks for sharing. I enjoy all your various craft videos - please keep on making and sharing. Regards, Martin
i havent made anything since i was in jr high over 30yrs ago but have wanted to get into woodworking for a couple years now. i still debating on going with traditional hand tools or power tools. but seeing this pulls me toward traditional hand tools. i just think they are so cool and to be able to make my own would make them that much more awesome. cool video.
Hi Harry, Thanks for another top video. I must admit to a little tool envy when I saw the ML7. As compensation I can tell myself that I have the same vise on the swivel base and have a very handy accessory for it, one I can't see on your bench and one you might consider. The humble cross type wheel brace you find in every scrap yard and flea market for pennies. I cut off three of the sockets to form a dedicated T- spanner for the locking nuts on the swivel base. They have enough length to allow knuckles to clear the jaws of the vise and the handles are long enough to allow two handed use.. I hang mine on a couple of screws on the end of my bench so it is always to hand for a quick adjustment of the vise. Since having this arrangement I find I regularly use the swivel base when I might have otherwise have struggled on with it not at quite the right angle. All the best.
Harry! I very much enjoyed watching your video today sir & I particularly like your accent beside...I'm subscribing...I'll be keeping the kettle hot for tea & viewing some more of your work! Informative straight forward & pleasant...thank you!
It's just so delightfully ironic that something that produces rotational smoothing is called a plane :P I know I know it's based on the flat plane *but still*
What was the point of marking the two slots at the top of the blade? I noticed that you marked them but didn’t do anything in those spots. Should there be a couple little tabs there to keep the blade from falling out while adjusting?
Matt KnowsThat Hi Matt...I just marked them to help with lining up the blade..thats all. I have made these before and added spokeshave adjusters as well.
I remember reading a book about forty years ago and it had drawings of something similar. My memory may be off - but I think it was called 'A snaith maker's stail engine'. It was for making round handles for farming implements. Are you familiar with anything like that?
Yes I vaguely recall...Fred Lambert of Worcester should take credit for much of this...he died some years ago but was a very inspiring person who researched much of this and I think I saw his copy..Rural Trades Association???
Nicely done, Harry. I don't do the sort of work that needs a tool like that, but I admire how well they work. On a completely different subject, it sounded to me that your accent in this video is a bit different from usual. Am I wrong, or has all that traveling you've been doing lately got you talking like folks where you've been? You're sounding sort of like David Barron in a few places. I've noticed my manner of speech changes a bit when I travel and it takes a few weeks for it to get back to usual.
+Harry Rogers I'll be sure to let David know that he needs to use a dust mask. ; ) Anyway, I love your videos. Thanks for going to the trouble to share with us.

Wonderful demo on the plane construction. I must try this......
Bravo Harry
+Dave Bardin Thanks Dave - that lathe does not get used as much as it should but when it does its very handy. My son has been using it a lot recently!
oh the tools and trouble I could do with that....
Excellent! I enjoy all your videos - leatherworking, local fairs, gardening, excursions, whatever - but this reminds me that it is your woodworking I like best. Thanks.
Thank you Harry. I was looking specifically for a 'how to' video on Rounding Planes and found your video. Many thanks for sharing. I enjoy all your various craft videos - please keep on making and sharing. Regards, Martin
Thanks Martin, and you can see me using them in the Sussex Chair series.
Not only a nice working tool but pleasing to look at also. Thank you for taking the time to make and share this video with us.
A very rare 10 min plus vid from Harry, i do love watching your work,!!
Great stuff Harry
Just what I could do with - where did I leave my bucket list! Thanks Harry
+Mitch Peacock - WOmadeOD I will do a film soon on making these with hand tools only.
Harry
+Harry Rogers You read my thoughts. Look forward to seeing it.

+Audra Flores Thanks I may put a film up making one of these just with hand tools some time.
Thanks Harry Very helpful
10* Neato ! Luvving the wood working arts and crafts.
I don't know if I will ever make a rounder like that but it was a great watch. Thanks.
labrat7357 Thanks
Lovely job!
Such an impressive end product and video to match, thoroughly enjoyed watching this Harry and appreciate you taking the time to share this ~Peace~
+Zed Outdoors Thanks Zed.

GREAT VIDEO !
Well done!

+labrat7357 Rather a neat solution to avoid bruises - great thanks.

Jason Gardner Thanks Jason
Fantastic work. Why didn't you turn those handles in the same wood on the lathe? still a wonderful looking tool. Thank you for sharing.
Woodoak Wilderness Hi thanks....its what I had to hand!
It's just so delightfully ironic that something that produces rotational smoothing is called a plane :P I know I know it's based on the flat plane *but still*

Now you need to make a Saw Steel Tapered Reamer. Thank you.
Nicely done
Great video. What stops the blade rotating - it seems to be fixed with only one screw.
Andy Marczewski Its similar to a spokeshave fitting.
great video ....can you turn the speed down on your drill press ,looked like high rpm for that bit...slower works 100 times better
Amazing

+deezynar Its probably all that dust from not doing green woodwork!!
+Harry Rogers I'll be sure to let David know that he needs to use a dust mask. ; ) Anyway, I love your videos. Thanks for going to the trouble to share with us.
Hello, very nice video and tool. Have you ever used with pine wood? Thank you.
Genardus Faberus hi yes but it would not be great with pine....best with green wood
Would it be easier to use a router ?
Very nice ML7, I have a super 7 that I essentially make my living on, great tool. Mine is also older than me by a few years.
+caskwith Very nice pipe!
+Harry Rogers Thank you :)
is the blade bevel -up or down?
Bevel down, i.e. not visible from above....there are some plans for this in my Etsy shop. Regards Harry
nice pencil sharpener
so... its a pencil sharpener
Now I can sharpen my gigantic pencil
