What happen to your large spokeshave? (It’s nearly or is impossible to find them, even when you go on to the LV website or any uk dealer) Do they still do them? Despite the joke, I have a very good reason to acquire one apart from cracking my knuckles to often on some of my workings)
Fantastic clear video. Lots of useful info. Thanks
Thanks, really pleased you found it useful.
Wheres the sawdust? Real shops are never really without sawdust laying around. Other wise they are just posing for pictures and offering free advise on how to be like them.
The dust is in the extractors and vacuum cleaners, some makers have it in their lungs.
peter did customs cost much if you order through rob cosmans
Not sure, I have never tried but import tax, duties and shipping will add up.
Thanks for the Videos , I have a KItty 613 Band Saw like Yours , can you advice Me as to a suitable Ball Bearing Blade Guide to replace the old wooden one ? Thanks Peter.
Great video when I was looking up info on this plough plane. Funny enough Veritas just released a smaller plough plane that is a little bit less expensive and form fitting for just doing drawer bottoms and similar tasks. Also I love my miniature router plane. I find it very useful when working on the mouths of wooden hand planes where I need a 1/8" mouth cut to an exact depth. Saved me many times in tight locations, and works just as well as any larger tool.
The only significant difference I experience is that camber on a bevel up is not even in the same county code as a cambered iron on a bevel down.
and i thought the eleven in pmv11 meant 11 herbs and spices, kinda like kentucky fried chicken
There are many similar projects in Woodglut's plans.
When using your Wheel Marking Gage, do you allow the "Wheel" to rotate or do you tighten it down so that it does not rotate?
Can I buy a tongue and groove blade for the plow plane?
The woodcarver you were quoting in the last few minutes was "Borrowing" from Michelangelo, who, when asked the same question replied, I believe: "It's already in there, I just remove the unwanted chips".
Nice demonstration, thanks
Use a lawnmower blade balance Jig. A metal cone on a point. Hardware Store has them.

not as accurate as it's shown here, and don't forget the size of the wheel.
Yeah, about the "Old woman's tooth", as it is still called in Eastern Europe. Historically speaking, women were more likely to survive until they lost most of their teeth. Men died younger in war, at work or doing stupid shit for fun like we still do today.
Thx for posting👍 and a nice explanation to make joints without measuring, great👌
Felder. Nice!
Great job Peter, brilliant video mate.
Thanks Ken, really enjoyed making it!
Cheers Peter, I'll c u in October. Thanks again.
Looking forward to it, then we can all cut some. Cheers
Hi Peter, do you sell the fret saw that you are using or have a recommendation. Regards Phil
Sorry we don't supply them anymore but this is the one I was using. There are more expensive options around but I have found these quite good. www.cooksongold.com/Jewellery-Tools/Adjustable-Saw-Frame-6-Deep-prcode-999-738?tmsb=5dqdayn&tmrl=pyunf5g&tmsl=new-pp-recs-for-you-sidebar&tmty=w&tmcv=137&tmcs=sshufgi
As always ... pitched just right.
Cheers Pete
An excellent, clear and un-patronising tutorial, thank you - practice makes … well, if not exactly perfect in my case, at least much better, and particularly when the instruction and tips are so pellucid. Many thanks. Best Hugh
Thanks Hugh, pleased you found the video and tips useful, happy woodworking cheers Peter
Great tutorial, I will have to give dovetails ago at some point.
They are a great joint to cut by hand, let us know how you get on!
Nice one Peter Must get myself one of those knives, looked handy for the last bit of rubbish in the corner. Cheers Tom
Thanks Tom, I love my Swann Morton knives, really come into their own on very fine dovetails or as you say cleaning out the corners.
Thank you Vic. I wish you had more content. Your pace and winsome manner is an asset to my learning at the pace you’re teaching.
Vic, I know this was a while ago, but could you address honing plough plane blades??
Vic is not monitoring this video but we use the Veritas Narrow Blade Holder. Thanks for your comment. woodworkersworkshop.co.uk/collections/veritas/products/veritas-mk-ii-honing-guide-deluxe-set
The link for the online DVD points to a different DVD regarding the bandsaw.
Thanks Andi, corrected now.
@@PeterSeftonFurnitureSchool No worries. I also e-mailed you guys asking if there is any way to purchase these digitally and the e-mail might have been lost to spam.
it,s this a Jet 1221vs lathe, any advice of the lathe , im thinking of a mini lathe , ala record 320 or Axminster 350 John
Not sure what lathe Andrew was using but this is his latest one. kzread.info/dash/bejne/oIRo05WjYNbXdrw.html
Sir I've seen some of your works and really interested in learning more from you Sir, so how can I get the DVD here in Nigeria?
I use my large shoulder plane for shooting . It's great . Nice flat registration and it's like a tank pushing through.All my blades are PMV11.Great material.
I have a lot of Veritas tools and never been disappointed. Great talk Vic.Not a very engaging audience . Were they all asleep?
Why such a neggo comment regarding the audience? It is nothing but plain condescending.
Peter Sefton furniture school is the place to be
So kind, thank you
Peter, my first dust extractor was the CT Festool for a small portable saw. Next, about 10 years ago I went looking for larger woodworking machines in Atlanta GA and came across Felder and Martin. To extract the dust I chose Oneida Air Systems and put the 7.5hp-3400 cfm cyclone outside the shop and later made a 10" duct return air box to bring the air back into the shop for Chicago winters. I have looked at bag collection for the next phase of more machines but I still return to the cyclone. Overall a smaller cyclone or a larger unit is less maintenance and with a gage for vacuum I can see my 55 gal drum is getting full. What has been your experience viewing larger shops with bag vs. cyclone dust systems? Like to know your opinion. Be safe in these time of the virus.
All of the workshops I have worked in have old large bag systems, cyclone systems are not so popular in large workshops over here but not sure why.
@@WoodWorkersWorkshopLimited Thanks and good day. The bag systems made in the US are of Euro import or designed stateside in the last 15-20 years that I see. With the addition of the shaker accessory in bag systems there is frequent periodic attention to saturation in the bags. The cyclone dust systems are lower manual labor to operate and allows hoppers on tracks to be employed leading to the truck load take away. The cyclone systems use a larger electric motor than comparable CFM bag systems (-25-30% less electricity). In the 8-9 years since I installed the Oneida cyclone I have had to clean-vacuum the twin 60" tall filters at the plenum three times. Each time it was my failure to keep watch on the vacuum gage and consequently I had to vac out the filters and empty the catch buckets at the bottom of each filter. On a heavy planing day for 8-9 hours I can fill up 3-55 gallon drums using 55 gal plastic bag liners. Neighbors want the dust for their gardens. Farmers will not take the walnut dust cause their animals can be injured. As I look back over the woodworking videos accumulated, I see no vids of me cleaning the cyclone. I will have to include the process next time I fail to keep an eye open on the cyclone. I think the bag system is good for shops that put dust collection inside the shop. Now Oneida is making interior smaller cyclone systems and we will see how that evolves in the next years. Seems like cyclones are going to rule the market. The US is very misled with our President Trump and hence lots of lives lost forever. Hope you and yours are safe.
@@vincentrolfe1384 I agree cyclones are the future, hope life in the US settles down life here is good just trying to keep safe, hope you do too.
Fantastic work by all... drum table being my favorite
entre lie nielsen y veritas cual es el mejor. gracias
Nice shop!!! 👍
Spokeshave begins 35:00 for looking
5:05 Vic says that they depth and the offset doesnt need to be exactly 1/4" and that he eyes it up. Is that because wood is hydroscopic and will move, or for another reason? Thanks!
Late answer but It’s about relativity, if the fence is the same across all the drawers then it doesn’t matter as it will sit flat across them all, you could spend the time to measure it to be perfect but is anyone going to pull out your drawer and measure?
i dont see why people complain about the handle, your a wood worker its not to hard to make a tote that fits you
Bahahaha, Lasers! Sooooo true.
How many students do you have? good use of space though. Just finished my course at Chippendales. Very different space but similar equipment.
Hope you enjoyed your course, we have 8 students in the workshops.
An older video, but still providing plenty of great ideas.
FYI we can not hear the questions so I would suggest you repeat the question and then answer it.
Sorry about that, we will ensure we do that next time around.
The questions are at times as important as the answers. FWIW I own a LOT of Veritas equipment. The Vancouver store is literally blocks from where I live. I have a #4, medium shoulder plane and a low angle block plane as well as a bigger bench vise that will soon go on my woodwork bench.
I am left handed. I buy left handed tools when they are available.
I was just watching Paul Seller setting up and using the Stanley Plough plane, he uses same technique BTW, I used to have the Stanley version had to sell lots of planes for money yers ago, am retired now and rebuilding some of what I need - I like to do most work by hand with no machines...I will buy this Veritas one
good video, nice explanations, by the way you didn't say the difference between a spoke shave and a draw knife, is there any reason for using one over the other?
I see you didn't get any response to this question. My immediate thought is that a spoke shave has a sole and therefore is more easily controllable for fine surfaces. You can also adjust the cutting depth for adding control, not least considering grain direction. The draw knife is much larger (usually), a much coarser tool and is more for removal of bark or large amounts of wood. In the hands of a well-seasoned traditionalist it might work wonders even with finer - but large - details, but at least I wouldn't dream of using it for fine furniture :-)!
Да конечно интересно. Лучше страдания, что не прет.
The magic is in the magicain not the wand. So no need to buy top spec tools when you can pick up second hand stuff that is just as good and sometimes better for alot less. Most people don't work with their hands anymore, but the tools are in plentifully supply. Paul sellers has a wonderful narrative and easy to understand instruction.
