ROB, Nearly 10 years ago I took one of your 1-day classes covering Plane Restoration and Hand-Cut Dovetails at the Woodcraft Store in Tigard, Oregon. That introduction got me off my duff, and into my shop where I mastered both skills to the point virtually every project is "touched" by one or more hand planes and I knock out "sufficient" hand-cut dovetails for a wide range of projects.. I just want to say you keep getting better, improving your communication skills, and providing USEFUL material both live and here on YouTube. Thanks sir for sharing your skills. It's often said, those who can't do, teach. That hooey! In order to teach, you must have mastered the topic. You sir are surly a master of what you teach. May the Lord be with you and yours. From Hillsboro, OR and most sincerely, Steve

I am in no way an expert on woodwork, so you may disregard my 2 cents, but here it is anyway: I have found it beneficial to use a vacuum cleaner to clear dust particles from MDF edges and end grain of other wood sorts, so that glue can get into every tiny nook and cranny. Thanks for the video by the way!

Really enjoy your work and teaching Rob. When I was an apprentice here in Australia, back in the day the master joiners that I worked with taught me that by forcing the glue in the end grain with your finger a few times it will fill the end grain and the glue will hold.

He’s deadly accurate with a plane steady hands . Old timers learn from a man like him. Pleasure sitting in and learning more about ply wood than I ever had in my 45 years . Thanks

[YellowPinkie]

This is a guy that is confident in his abilities and knows why he is confident. Great viewing!

[Highstreeter]

I didn't think I'd be staying tuned in for the full half hour, but I was riveted by it all. Every minute was a gem. Learned a lot; well done.

[MrSoorajsurya]

Great content . Detailed in a manner that's technical- always better at sending the right message across.
Btw- here in India, very few woodworkers have access to clamps; at most, you may find C-clamps used sparesly. We tend to use masking tapes a lot more. It could be for edge banding plywood with wood strips or pvc edge bands or even hdp laminate.
Wrt wooden strips, most woodworkers would hammer pin nails post gluing; plane the overhang and then cover the nails during the process of polishing.
FYI for anyone interested.✌️

I have been gaining interest in wood working as a hobbyist, but am a keen DIY guy. As a marine engineer by profession, I have always thought I can turn my hand to any job.
My interest was triggered watching the tradesman install the fitted kitchen units which were hand made, not mass-produced factory units.
I have researched many woodworking YouTube vids and find the majority rely solely on power tools and the accuracy of fence measurement. This is no bad thing and the level of accuracy acheived is remarkable. So I am encouraged to see vidoes where the craftsperson will reach for a plane, chisel or handsaw rather than take the work piece over to a table saw/mitre saw/planer/jointer, etc.
This for me is the essence of craftsmanship and I have always admired watching someone with skill perform their trade. Particularly so I can learn from their technique.

I have neither the space, the budget or the job list to invest in all the power tools of a modern joiners shop. So, I am using the sites to put together ideas for a workstation that is convertable and collapsible so my garage can still be used for all purposes whilst I am at sea.
Keep up the good work.

Good addition for using masking tape for gluing on edge banding. Works well for quick repairs. I like the green 3M tape because it stretches just enough for extra tension.

It's always a joy to watch a master craftsman at work, and there is no exception to that here. I would say that the thought I take away after watching this one is that it is more a master class in the use of hand planes. The ones in use are clearly of the highest quality - advanced design and superbly finished. This makes me realize what a hacker I am, since I don't have the skill required to sharpen the blades, the knowledge to make the fine adjustment, nor the skill to apply the cut. As a result I have for years now used a farrier's rasp for my planing needs, and smaller rasps down to rifflers where necessary, I find these tools are fit for purpose in anything I have attempted so far. That said, I mean no disrespect to what is on show in the video - quite the reverse in fact.

You are a great wood worker and teacher. I feel like a novice after watching you with your specialized equipment and knowledge of wood, glue, tools and techniques. Thank you for the multiple lessons and info. Your camera operator is top notch, also.

[Masso]

Man, learning 20 new things a minute make for light giddiness and a lot of ideas flashing through your head for future projects. Absolutely great video, exceptional teacher, thank you!

[leeclement]

New to your channel and I couldn't turn this episode off! I learned a lot in just the few minutes I took to watch. I like how you explain everything your doing and why you do it. I especially learned a lot about planing. I'd really like to Learn from you in person! keep up the great work!

[RobertSeviour]

This video sets the standard for an educational/factual piece, very impressive. It's a pleasure to watch a craftsman work to such a high standard, one I try to achieve myself. One minor point; in the UK we pronounce chamfer (at least my dad did) as 'sham fer' not 'cham' as in 'champion'.

[MrGunner]

Thanks Rob - I never would have guessed the MDF core would outperform the laminated plywood on an edge joint. Very cool!

[peterblake]

I have always used my male & female router bit set on the router table and have never been impressed with the results...never again. Rob, you are a great teacher thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.

[TeamProsperity]

Nicely done Rob. One thing I’ll mention that I do is to size the end grain. I mix like a 10 to 1 mixture of tight bond and water and brush that onto the end grain and let is set for 30 minutes. This will seal the fibers and prevent the end grain from sucking in the glue and then I glue as usual. Seems to give me an exceptional joint. what do you think?

[garrisonaw]

Why in the world would anyone downvote this video? Rob gives an enormous amount of useful information in half an hour.

[rolotomassi]

That plane blade on wood is one of my favorite sounds in the world

[ericksonjustinAK]

I don't have the space or time for woodworking, but I have time for this video. something so cathartic about woodworking and your teaching and voice hits the spot during these crazy times. Thanks.
