In this one I'm taking a look at the Loon Lake Tool Works Kerfing Plane Kit for a Stanley #50 plow plane. I run through its features, some of its uses, my impressions, and what I think about it.

Good video. I like the idea of adding a bit of functionality to my 50.
Thanks! I've only had it a couple weeks, but so far I'm a happy camper
Interesting. Glad to see a new video.
Hey, happy to see you on this side! I used catch the occasional bits of streams while not on the phone at work, but that hasn't worked out in a while. What have you been working on lately?
Hi Chris, thanks for sharing this interesting info. You might remember I made a kerfing mod for my Stanley 45 a while back. I made it purely for interest not expecting it to be useful in my workshop, but it's amazing how often I find myself using it. Now I'm thinking a kit similar to the one in this video that fits onto the adjustable skate on a Stanley 55 would give really flexible depth adjustment, but I guess kits for 55s are always going to suffer from a rather limited market, given the typical price of 55s. Which is probably why this kit targets the Stanley 50, as they're both fairly common and reasonably priced, and though smaller and simpler than 45s, they are surprisingly versatile little workhorses. I guess it's also quite likely that hand tool collectors might well have a spare 50 (or 3 in my case) that could serve as a semi-permanent kerfing plane.
No offence taken re the 'hand tool masochists' gag, you've certainly served your time following the way of handtool obsession (how many 45s do you own now?)
Haha I would agree on the #55. I'd think a #45 kit would have a broader audience, but at the same time, I'd also think the added weight is a #45 might not always be so great. I agree, 50s are great for "All around" stuff. This was actually my only Stanley #50, ready were all records lol. I'm holding fairly steady at around 25 Stanley #45s, but most of those are in the type study cabinet lol
@@MosquitoMade That's an 'argument killer' point re the weight, sawing with a #45 (let alone the anchor weight #55!) for any length of time would be a pretty intense workout! Now I'm imagining Loon Lake Tools trialling all 3, and selecting the #50 because the tester of the #50 didn't pass out from exhaustion. 😆 Plus the #50 is a much better 'grab and go' option that the other two... "If you can just give me three days to read the #55 manual and then set it up and tune it, and adjust it again, I'll get right on with making that one cut for you" Err yeah, I humbly withdraw my dumb suggestion for the #55
@@doczoff5655 Ha! I think the depth adjustment idea of the #55 on the adjustable skate has merit, but yeah I would think the weight would be rough for sure lol
I bought one of the kits from Loon Lake for an English Stanley 50 and when I put it together the depth stop does not go all the way down. I messages Bob and he is aware of the slight difference. He told me to file one edge of the depth stop to clear the frame.
Yeah, he has a note on the product page about it too, same thing happened to mine, and I just filed it as well. Not a huge deal, but interesting difference between some of them
Great review on something I didn't need until now, thanks a lot...do you have a video on how your plane till works? It looks awesome and I'd love to make something similar.
Thanks! I bought it because I thought it was neat, and some friends and I were brainstorming how we might make one for a #45 a while back. Turns out I like it more than I thought I would lol
I don't have a video on the plane til, but I could certainly make one. I made it way back in my apartment shop days (circa 2012). Essentially it's t-track and 80/20 extrusion that I drilled for 1/4-20 t-bolts. I've loved it so far, but have recently looked at ways of getting things slimmed down a bit
@@MosquitoMade That's kind of what I figured just by looking at it in the background, but it would be interesting to hear your thoughts. Great idea especially for someone like me who is constantly buying/selling hand tools.
@@BGibb89 That was exactly my thought when building it too. When I first made it, I had maybe half a dozen hand planes total, and now it's pretty well full lol
