Can you comment on the dust collection for each operation?
I have chopped a mortise or two but I don’t have router so I rely on some bits and good chisels.
These are not my two first planes. But I am planning to get them.
Just finished honing the iron on a Stanley No. 4, its okay but I want a LN. I have multiples of 3,4,5,6,7,8 and made a nice till for them. My next shop project is a nice tool cabinet so I plan on thinning the heard. I think I will sell all and get a LN 4 1/2, 5 1/2 and a 7. I never use the 3, 5, 6 and 8 Stanleys anyway. Thank you for the review!
Excellent video. You are very thorough and concise. I used a moritser and was looking for a good way to show off through-tenons. This is it.
Gotta love hand tool videos where the first step is a table saw
All this time later, im getting a bit better organised so thank you
One is made in China and one is not.
Table saw- where is your blade guard?
Bravo 👏
Just purchased and assembled the P-Flux2. It stands about 6-7ft. lt has way more capability than I need, but I wanted the HEPA filtration, sound enclosure, and 220v @ 13A. The written instructions are not that great, so I primarily referred to Laguna’s KZread video-that guy does an outstanding job clearly and calmly explaining every step. For example, the written instructions start by indicating that you need a fork lift to lift the main body of the unit onto the stand assembly. What? I don’t have a stinking fork lift!!! Instead, the Laguna video shows assembling the unit on its side, then tipping upright with 2-3 individuals. Caution-it is very heavy-but I was able to get the unit upright very safely with the help of 3 friends.
"I can't wait to use them for the rest of my life" thats the best quote I've found on a wood working channel. Beautiful work. Thank you for sharing
It’s hard to believe that fence doesn’t cause inaccuracy. Using the in/out method would negate these inaccuracies, but they would still be a problem if jointing a single piece that one wanted to be square.
I can only find the wood river for $200 or more so I think I'm mote likely to buy the lie neisen at this time.
WR has low quality blade. better to replace it with a third party one. WR sells around 100 bucks in my country, and LN is around 500 or so. If I could buy LN at 300, i will definitely do.
Combo machines only advantage is shipping and space saving but all who buy them complain about them often during production you notice lots of limitations and challenges, i prefer to go one by one.
Comparing anything to Lie Nielsen is always an unfair comparison! They could produce literal crap and it would sell! Lol!
Have left two voice mail messages with no response. I want to find out what classes are available in the class room vs online. The web site is challenging when it comes to finding in class bs online. I live in Bluffton and would like to learn more!
you assembled a screwddriver .... you didnt makre the tips
Ah I love this right to the point and easy. Hit a broke of nail I didn't know was there with my wood plane blade took a good sized piece out did this took a little while because of the extent of the damage but it works next all I have to do is sharpen it. I just prefer doing it by hand rather than using a machine
I totally agree, but you do need to be wealthy.
Nice idea's to think over for me. My bench isn't a carpenters bench and hasn't a fixed vise. So I need a way to clamp the jigs, byou gave me nice ideas
How to buy this kind of machine
Finger my butt.
Miss you. Been awhile. Still come across your videos now and then.
how to cut tenon on curved
lovely simple video. thank you
Nice .where did you get the screwdriver shafts?
Many years ago, when I didn't know much about hand planes, I purchased a Clifton no. 5 plane. It was advertised as being ready out of the box, and this was true. Since then I now have more than a dozen hand planes, all are original Stanley-Baileys. I have learned how to refurbish them, some now have Hock blades. This is a viable alternate to both saving money and having a proven quality tool as well. Along the way you will learn all you need to know about hand planes.
super sized jointer, super undersized planer. A lot to only get 1/2 of what you need, unless small boards is good for you.
That’s awesome.
HAPPY NEW YEAR, THANKS FOR THE VIDEO
blessings for the New Year and I hope you find just the right guys who get to work with you to help build furniture. 🌟
WOW, great video dude, answered all my questions. Watched the Lie-Nielsen start to finish hand plane manufacturing video. It looks to me like their planes are worth every penny.
Good video and thanks. I own Lie Neilson planes and they worked straight out of the box and a joy to work with. I'm a pro woodworker but understand the average woodworker going with the Wood River due to price.
My grand fathers 70 year old Stanley #4 has been such a work horse it's whole life, I've never even thought of replacing it, of buying any other plane.
As a Canadian I want to own North American and European hand tools. Some Japanese too… China is a no go for me. Their stuff is typically of a lesser quality for their lesser price. The Woodriver plane blade will never be what the LN blade is and a good replacement is likely $80.00. So in the end the LN is a better plane and better value all while keeping my neighbours to the south busy and productive!
I think that if we talk not about one plane, but about a set of different planes, you can save not $200, but more than $1500, which for an individual craftsman can be a decisive factor, because the rest of the difference is not significant. and with the saved money you can buy a good power machine. bandsaw for example
I bought L.N. And have never had a problem in 10 years. Cuts like a dream and feels good in the hand. I never have a problem getting the blade to cut .001 or thicker if I want. I own about 12 planes of varying sizes and each is an investment that makes pay back easy. I’m sure Wood River is well worth the money but when you plan and save you can eventually get the best. I can see the care that went into making my planes and I want to buy from an American company that takes pride in their products. I’ve never looked back.
Good tool are for Hobbyist Great tools are for Artisans.
Don't waste you money. I've had this machine for less than one year and nothing but problems with starting. garbage
can you describe this is further detail?
Yes, out of the box it had a faulty mag switch, replaced that, then the vibration switch stuck several times. latest problem is the motor slow or no start, pulled and checked both capatcitors - both good, then readjusted the centrifugal switch. still slow or no start. Grizzly service is responsive and have offered to replace the motor but will not accept return the machine. I've spent more time working on it than using it@@JonGilmore
@@user-yl4sc8le6f Thanks for the update, I really appreciate it - I was nearly going to click buy and you've really made me second guess my choice. It's a lot of money to spend for a hobbyist like myself, and if I'm going to get a product that isn't reliable, hard to justify. Did you consider the Hammer A3-26 when you were buying? That's my other option, although its more expensive and only 10in wide
I didn't look at the Hammer, but would now. might also consider a Jet. I have a small shop so the combo is a necessity, also need the full 12" for the type of work I do. Glad I could help, I wish I'd had a different experience with the grizzly (still dealing with it as we speak)@@JonGilmore
@@user-yl4sc8le6f right on, kinda where I'm at, the jet is basically the same price as the hammer, but you typically see almost all positive reviews on the hammer and I can't say the same for jet
save your money,,,i have tried and tried and this will not put an edge on a scrapper reguardless of what they say on here
Do you ever feel you wish you bought the 16"? or want to upgrade to it now?
What is the best way to adjust the table to be coplaner. I have been struggling to achieve that, but continue to struggle. someone needs to make a video that actually shows the steps of making the table complainer and not just point out where the nuts are that need to be loosened.
So I guess this is just an advertisement for your classes. No info as to where to get the hardware, or actual dimensions. I wasted my time with click bait.
I’ve struggled so much with cheaper planes trying to make them flat, square, sides 90° etc. to avoid all that I’ll have to save some $ and go with the Lie-Nielsen
Hey nice video! Where can you get the screwdriver shaft packs?
Bandsaw!
Thanks man! Forgot how to cut curves needed a quick refresher before I went into my carpentry class and had to do a Competency test by making two maple leafs
