Modern Stanley planes have gotten a bad rap in my opinion. So I made this video showing me using them to produce thin shavings.

  • I'm am fairly new to handtools (1.5years) and I have amassed a decent collection of older stanleys. While I don;t use the modern ones I don;t think any plane should geta bad rap if you can easily tune it and produce good results. It's always nice to see instructional videos of these planes. I just wanted to add a couple suggestions that are things I've learned. Waxing the sole will make planing much smoother and requires less effort and will not interfere with finish.

    Thanks for the kind words. I always have had a bit of trouble with my #7. It's a bit tricky to get set up consistantly. But it was ony $120. Where as a LN #7 at the time was $400. Overall I think it was worth the trade. But everyone has their own opinions this was just me throwing my $0.02 in the ring.

  • Hey guys, don't be afraid to leave negative feed back. I know this video sucks. The lighting is bad and you can't see the finish being left behind by the planes. I hopeing my future woodworking vids turn out better.

  • Great demo. I enjoyed this video.

  • ive been a quaified carpenter n joiner 4 2 yr now n all my planes are stanlet n recoed planes old and new and all of them i can produce a shaving of half a thou of a shaving

    becuse i brign them to a high standard

    n also the blade n chip breaker i have replaced in my jack plane n ma joiner

  • it seems as if you have your blade to exposed on your joiter or you blade is not sharp also youse some  beeswax or cannign wax on sole to reduce friction

  • The board you are planing against would be much better if it were secured better so you don't have to fight as much. With the number 8 I think it was or 7 in the beginning might be adjusted to cut a little to thick as you shouldn't have to force it so much, again wax will help out. Anyways those are just a few things that will hopefully help you out. Thanks for the video.
