BEGINNERS Guide to Using an Electric Planer.

How to Use an Electric Planer. A Beginners Guide. The Electric Planer would have to be one of the handiest tools in the workshop. It’s basically a hand plane on steroids which makes them super fast and highly efficient!
Like all power tools, the electric planer can be a scary tool for the newly initiated. In this video, l hope to build up your confidence and take away the fear factor when using the planer.
The planers come in both corded and battery-powered models. I’m a bit old school and have a corded planer, that way l always have 100% power at all times.
The good thing about the corded model is that you can pick up a good one for a reasonably cheap price compared to the good quality battery-powered models.
I hope you find this video useful and continue to grow in confidence when it comes to using power tools of all types.
Cheers 
I hope you enjoy it 👍😁🇦🇺

I'm a widow & just found my husbands planner. After blowing the sawdust out I read the manual. I allways used our Hand planners so I'm a little Nerve's using this. I watch many DIY videos being self dependent & love my work shop. Your Video is the BEST!!. Extremely" easy to understand & your very educational. Now I feel confident thank thank thank You😉

[markandersen]

Love videos like these, I can tell my wife to watch it and she'll understand why I need a new tool.

[burningbernie]

That part using the clamps to make a vise was pure genius. Haven't seen anyone else doing similar. 💯

[jawshlitelife]

I’ve been watching wood working videos for years and this stuff is too notch. Especially the clamping advice. I’ve been struggling with my limited space, but those pipe clamp ideas are incredible

[zachlemon]

This guy is seriously amazing, why didn't i find him sooner, just like a father with good advice :)

[williamreside]

I came for the planer info...but the clamping options were gold. Subscribed for the Dad Jokes.

For a 2 year old video, and your still responding to comments, just goes to show how dedicated you are!

I'm currently renovating our 5, 000sq ft home. Doing everything DIY as much as possible. Your videos (and other creators) have gotten me through so many tight spots..thank you for what you do man! Keep up the great work! Cheers from Wisconsin USA! The cheese state 🧀🐄🧀🐄🧀🐄🧀

[leewarren]

The best, most comprehensive video I’ve ever seen on the use of a power tool.
Great job!

"And the award for the guy who you would most like to be your neighbor/buddy goes to Uncle Knackers!"

I watch a lot of woodworking videos and always watch your videos. the videos are awesome, the info is killer and the explanations easy to understand but your personality makes it fun too. thank you !

[jigglytofu]

The most straight-forward, simplest, and easy to follow ever! Thank you very much for the wonderful instructions.

[peetkoolstra]

I'm not a beginner, but it's always a good thing to see how/what a other person is doing or think about it. It's never too late to learn something.

[alessandrobilosi]

Great Advice!!! Also the one for magnets to detect hidden nails in the wood... as simple as amazing!

[FrederickDunn]

You had me at "anatomy lesson" excellent, so glad I found your channel! New subscriber! VERY well done!

[dustnbladewoodworks]

Came to learn about a planer...but those tips about using pipe clamps as a holdfast or leg clamp were pure gold. Thank you, sir!

[ILuvMsMarvel]

Perfect timing on this video. I recently bought my first electric hand planer and then this video popped up.

[devinematt]

What a great idea for a quick makeshift leg vice - great tip knackers - or should it be quackers!! You bloody legend! Keep em coming mate

[rodj]

LOVE your jokes !! As a old guy doing woodworking for 50 years, I find your videos very informative. I'm just not that great at teaching people . Going to show some young DIY's neighbors your channel, you will teach them such great knowledge and terrific tips. Thank you so much

[lesleopold]

This was definitely informative, I have a power planner but was not knowledgeable of it’s correct use. The tips regarding the blade flipping also was an eye opener!
As far as the use of clamps, that is brilliant! Please record more tips like this.
Thanks!!

[unnikrishnans]

I am happy to accept the demonstrator as my guru in wood working jobs. Thanks a lot.

[brianfoley]

This guy is absolutely the best instructor...ever, anywhere. He should run courses on how to teach...any subject.
