"is that necessary? by all means no; and that's why we did it" - BEAUTIFUL, sir, I applaud your commitment to puttering

Well at least the audio came back for the dad joke xD

Nice job. For all of the work you did on this, I would consider making another blade insert out of 1060 or 1070 carbon steel and harden and temper it for longevity. Those mending plates are most likely make from unhardenable mild steel.

Lol, Rex is going to get mad at you!

unfortunately something happened in the upload. and I cant fix it now. hate it when that happens.

I have the Veritas equivalent to this. I taped it off, leaving a little strip that aligns with the edges of the blade and spray painted it so I now have a little black stripe on either side that makes it easier to line up with the slot of the screw, which you can't see during use.

You said it. Have fun in your shop.

I thought this was going to be one of those kit jobs , but no, it s really basic stuff anyone can get a their local hardware store. Thanks for great video. Although my sound cuts out at 10:45 Is that because of what you said about rex?😅

Ditto on the sound cutting out. Don't know what he said about Rex, but ?

I really like how that turned out

Not necessary? That's not true. I absolutely need one of those now! 😍 And so that's one more project added to my list. One screwdriver to rule them all …

Great idea. Now time for me to go make one.

I bought one from Lee Valley years ago. Never thought of making one. Good idea! Great job!

I was expecting you to use a grinder to get the piece to fit the slot, but I forgot you and Rex are agnostics when it comes to electricity LOL!

Then the problem is the steel is really soft so if you put it on a grinder you end up taking off too much and less than a second.

What a great idea! Nicely done, James! I think I’ll make one of those.

Great project, thanks for showing how

Beautiful, James! Amazing work! 😃 I'm definitely going to make one! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

I know you called it a day, but I am still calling it a chipbreaker driver, although day is easier to say. LOL. Love this one, shop time to get me one of those made.

Stay tuned for the Lee Valley kit coming soon.

This is a really neat tool! Thanks for sharing this.

Great solution to a problem of mine! Thanks!

I was gonna go for Matt Estlea's screw driver... but this is so much easier!! :) I think I'm gonna do one asap.

I like this because I'm always worried about a slip that might scratch up some of my more valuable planes. I also like that blue epoxy you used with the walnut.

I really Liked this project and will recreating on my own thank you.

Ahhh, yesss. Another one of those 'roundtuit projects.

Cool little project ,just for fun

Thanks! I will be making one for sure!

Bummer, the audio dropped at the end, but it came back for the dad joke, so not a total loss.

I have been thinking of making one of these but not gotten around to it. But first I have to finish the wardrobe, bed and give the fivesided splayed dovetail box a go.

I started making one of these yesterday. 👍

Pretty cool project! I need to make something like this using a ratchet socket.

Wow...I loved it...I made many drivers but not like yours...that brass part came from hose union was very smart...congratulations from Brazil

James you can give me your e-mail address please.I can send to you my ideas in how make a handplane screw driver

Wonderful tool 😮 Great video

That's so cool. Awesome work!

Great tutorial. On my to do list.

Nice tool!

I will have to make one nice job

the lack of audio around 10:30 drove me crazy pun intended

I'm inspired - thanks.

Looking good 👍

Great project, I find screw drivers never fit well and tend to ding the slot in the screw.

Wait, you didn't use white oak? No, not the first. I guess it isn't a joke. 😂

When I was shown how to do this,we laid the plane iron on a table. Never in the hand as screw driver slips and stabs the hand.

Very nice

Seems to be a great turning project. Also it reminds me of a hand grenade.

Nice!

Sound went away at 10:28 and came back at 10:57.

Love it !!!

sound cut at the end

Now if someone did some of the finish would that be by eproxy?

Lost the audio at the end

But wait, you can just go buy a "hand tool hero" 🤣🤣

Wonder if i could use a screwdriver bit.....

Audio cut out at 10:29 :(

at 10:28 the audio cuts out for 30 seconds

That's really cool. I'll have to make one so I can stop being a neanderthal lol 😂

Why make this when the lever cap works perfectly well? 😅 great job! I may make my self one sometime

Heads up: You can turn soft metals on a wood lathe. Brass may bee too hard, but I know you can turn copper and most grades of aluminum.

With carbide, it doesn't really matter, you can cut any metal. With HSS, softer metals (ali, brass, copper, etc.) Should all be fine. Go slow, expect a pretty poor finish and tollerance, but it can still be completely usable. If you're using sandpaper or a file, doesn't really matter either.

Cool

The sound cuts out around 10:30 mark for a few sentences.

A piece of blue tempered shim stock, the desired thickness would be the best thing to make the blade out of. That piece is mild steel, which will likely be deformed over time and becomes useless.

Is the blade recessed or proud of the collet? Thanks 🙏🏻

It is recessed about 1/16"

Files like a western style saw work on the push stroke, not the pull.

@WoodByWrightHowTo

Жыл бұрын

most yes. there are a few specialized floats that work on the pull stroke.

Yes, they work on the push stroke, but they can remove material on the back stroke, and it doesn't damage them any meaningful amount, especially on wood.

Most in the trade just use the front end of the chipbreaker backing piece,much handier its there with the plane.

Yeah, they're the ones with chipped lever caps

Once, my sensei scolded me for making a jig to sharpen my blade. He said only westerners needs jig for everything. I guess he speak the truth.

I don't even need a screwdriver. Lever cap works perfect and came free with my plane
