I clicked this video because I recently inherited a large hand plane and small block plane when my grandmother passed away. The planes belonged to my grandfather who had passed 25yrs prior, and have been sitting in his shop since then, so they're in need of attention. I was quite surprised when I reached the part where you described the history of your planes.
This video seems to be a perfect introduction to getting them back into working condition. Thanks!

All the necessary information without unnecessary explanation. Thank you

Alright this is the sort of beginner's guide I was hoping to find. I purchased a plane on a whim, and couldn't figure out how to get it to cut without jamming and not cutting, or why none of the dial adjustments did not increase the cut. Didn't want to disassemble everything without a clue in the world. It's the explanation of moving parts that really made it make sense, instead of the too complicated breakdowns.

Brilliant! Have had my dad's plane for years and never knew how to set it up. Now I do.

Fantastic! This is the absolute BEST video I've seen on setting up a hand plane. Thank you kindly, sir!!!

Honest, straightforward procedure for setting up a plane. Answered every one of my questions way better than the Stanley instructions and a couple of yt videos. Thanks.

Everything I needed to know in one short but very informative video, thankyou!

Just got my first hand plane and have been watching a bunch of videos that are way too long. I learned more from your video than any others I've watched. Thank you.

great straight-forward steps. Thank you

Great info. Never thought of wax on the plane bottom. Just restored a rusty bench plane with vinegar and steal wool. Coated with light oil but the wax made a big difference. Thanks for showing this old dog a new trick.

Thank you for this. It's succinct and to the point (I've watched so many videos that take forever to tell you very little of what you really want to know). Cheers.

Brilliant, I’m very new to woodwork, so thank you for making it easy on an old female person 🤗

This morning I took my cheapest plane, one. It came from a UK general store. I followed your instructions, and now it works a charm.

Thanks for the advice Keith. Just bought and renovated a Stanley No 6 and had been wondering how to change the blade in the mouth to make the gap wider, now i know. Cheers mate
