Good to see the bucket you made is still working

I think the most important skill in this project is patience. Everything else you did could be taught, but slowly filing away each part exactly right, is a complete skill set on its own. Well done.

I'm a machinist, and periodically need to make a tool, and really enjoy the time working with hand tools, fitting, making something forever. I too, love mixing iron with brass or bronze, the older they get, the better they fit and feel together. I really enjoyed watching, wish I could saw and file that fast, lol.

Well, I've done the first three and now I'm retired the fourth is in my sights.

You have some incredible skills mate. I had to rewind the video multiple times just to understand the part of the plane that was being worked upon. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.

Mr Pask, let me just say thank you very much for all your videos. I have learned a LOT from watching you, it's almost like an apprenticeship in craftsmanship every time. And thanks to videos like this one in specific, I have started a little hobby of making thumb planes! Never thought I'd be dong this, but as an instrument maker, that is a tool that you can always use, and they are NOT cheap. In fact the first one I made has no commercial options available, it's a lute half binding plane. It scrapes off the top edge down to half way through the top so a hardwood inlay can be put around the instrument. Finding one is impossible, so I took the idea from the book on lute building by Robert Lundberg and made my own. It's amazing how watching someone do something like this makes actually doing it so much easier. It came out wonderfully. Right now, I have a flat bottom thumb plane body out in the garage cooling off from being soldered. It's funny, I have soldered for well over 50 years electronically, but I've never done torch soldering before. It's amazing how fast it goes. Thanks very much for sharing your skills with the world. Some of us here in the states appreciate it, and I do spread the gospel of Pask whenever possible. Stay well, and keep up the incredible work. Your house must have some REALLY cool things in it by now, unless you're selling all these things. In which case, you SHOULD be rich. Thanks again.

Always a pleasure watching Pask make something. What a talented gent he is. Living in the US, I had to look it up and guess what. According the the dictionary, it is actually pronounced "sodder" not "solder", coming down from old French where the L is dropped. You would never hear the L pronounced anywhere in the US, thats for sure. Although I did see a reference to different pronounciation based on geographical area as being recoginzed as accurate also. Of course, everyone is going to keep on saying what they are used to saying, and nothing wrong with that. Thanks Pask. Your videos never fail to inspire.

Hand tools are cool. Hand tools that you made yourself are even cooler.

I love your practicality

There's nothing I could add to what had already been said. The video makes the project looks easy but disguises all the exacting hand work that goes into it. Really nice job. I would like to tackle that sort of project myself. I think that I will buy the plane iron and not torture myself by trying to make one.

Beautiful little plane! I bought a small plane about that size back in the eighties. It was made from cast iron but had a very soft blade. It was in the one dollar tool bin so I didn’t expect much. After I made a new iron from an old chisel that became my favorite plane to keep in my pouch.

Watching your videos reminds me to slow down and enjoy the whole process. Sometimes I get fixated on getting it done and rush through some aspects of the build. It’s not so much sloppy fabrication as it’s that I have so many things I want to build that I forget to enjoy the one I’m currently doing. Someday I will learn. Thanks for the inspiration.
