I appreciate your videos because of the extreme care and attention you show to doing precision work. I also appreciate the fact that you play no distracting music and also do not talk. Your quiet careful work speaks for itself. And on nights when pain keeps me awake I can happily watch your videos, learn something, relax and eventually even sleep. Thank you and please keep making your very instructive video :-)

Thanks! I appreciate the quiet.

Very nice video. Your approach to making the base was interesting and informative. I just got the kit and have been digging around the scrap pile looking for ideas, I got some from you. Also tilting the handles is something I like. They should be tilted! Ok, I have just watched a bunch of KZread videos and oddly enough you and James Wright are the only ones that seem to know how to properly use a router plane. Nice technique! I mean other then Master Paul himself. Thanks for publishing. 😎🇨🇦

I watched Paul make this a few days ago and now seeing this , I thought the same. You can tell from the tools a lot of the time the Influencers on KZread. This is a great kit if you weren’t willing to spend the coin on a Veritas plane. I like these as an option. You can also tell when woodworkers watch Rob Cosman ( Chinese WR hand plane). I like watching Paul Sellers, down to earth and doesn’t push tool sales for a living.

Your video is not only helpful and inspiring, it’s a pleasure to watch as well. It’s just peaceful to do without the giddiness and busyness of by far most woodworking videos - yours has the qualities I value in the shop - calmness and creativity. Thanks, and I’m happy to be a new subscriber.

Thank you for putting up a video of yourself building someone else's design. If I want to build a design someone on KZread has posted, I always wonder if it really works, how hard was it to build really (how many retakes were there), and if it works. It gives me a little more confidence in going ahead to make that tool when I see a second person build the same thing. Not everything you did was exactly like Paul Seller's design. In making those changes you've demonstrated some of the flexibility of the design. Again, thanks for posting this.

Sorry for the delay William! The plane is great as a little project, and it useful if you only have a very small router plane (like me). It's great for some specific uses like shaping tenons etc but in general I wouldn't describe it as high quality or precise as for example a Stanley.

I have already made two of these from metal sourced from scrap, with the exception of the blade. For that I bought a 12" bar from metals online or something like that. Paul has videos on how to harden and temper the steel, and I did it in a barbecue with a hair dryer 😁. All very possible and fun!

@@dkbuilds A couple of more tips -- cut the notches in the blade and also the angle to the cutting edge 'before' you harden the steel. The closer you are to the final bevel the easier your honing will be. Use hardwood such as mesquite for a hotter fire, and don't be shy about the hairdryer. Just make sure you don't get so close it starts to melt! Paul's magnet test to see when you have hit the right temperature worked perfectly. It was the first time I attempted anything like it, and it was a simple as Paul makes it look. Enjoy!

This is the sellers design, I built it and was disappointed. The problem is in the straight iron. It’s too sharp of an angle and bights into the wood to aggressively. Router planes have an “L” shaped iron for a reason. I scrapped mine and built a new one with an L iron. Much better.

Great feedback Rand and I actually agree. I don’t think router planes should have a bevel-down design like this one has. The problem is it is much more difficult to DIY an L shaped iron. Good for you for making that work! The trick to using this plane for me is to take off really tiny amounts each pass. It’s painfully slow but works well enough.
