Cool seeing this. I just bought two of these wooden planes at an antique shop. One is a hollow and the other is a round. After I clean them up I was gonna try and figure out how to use them. This video helps using the hollow one.

Nice work. I once heard the phrase regarding hand craftsmanship - The Perfection of Imperfection

Pretty interesting process indeed, dude! 😃 Thanks for all the tips! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

It was 100% wort waiting for a new video! Thank you!

Thanks, that was great!

Great to watch - I like the quarter round edge look this created. Thanks

Thank you.

It's not that people don't want to "find" those specialty planes, it's that most can't find them who live outside of a big country, good to see the suggestion of using the block plane as a replacement. To me I'd treat this like shooting a board and knock off the far edge so it wouldn't get blown out and then actually flip the boards so the front board is in the back to finish off the far side, this way you protect the edge to stop the blowing out.

thanks

Roundosity :D

Tallow, as in beef fat tallow??

I think Will uses mutton tallow, but vegetable shortening can be used as a substitute

there is absolutely no point in using Tallow or wax on the sole of wooden planes there no friction on wood to wood contact

There most certainly is a point. Try using a light scribble of candle wax on the bottom of your wooden jack and you'll be an immediate convert. As far as my research has gone, there's no historical precedent for the practice in the 18th/19th centuries. But the results speak for themselves. It probably wasn't used in the past because many planemakers (including Sandusky, Gauge Tool, and others) soaked their plane stocks in oil or wax. A new plane wouldn't have needed anything else.
