Get well soon Paul! You're the reason I got into woodworking.

James has taken over this one at the end 😂

I found my low knob planes extremely useful for incentivizing the practice of knob making.

[insanejughead]

That joke was continental.

"Classy!"

[captainoates]

All my early years I used a grip to plane edge boards where my left hand was half holding the knob and a couple of fingers went underneath to make sure the plane stayed in the middle so it didn't rock and spoil the square edge.
Then they invented electric planes and you know what happened next.
No I'm not stupid it's just that muscle memory takes over unless you're completely engaged.
Luckily it was just a fingertip and the afternoon off.

I personally like my low knobs. For the occasional times when a little downward pressure is needed I seat the wide knob in the center of my off (left) hand palm.

[curlsalot]

I use the continental grip on other parts too, and it works fantastic.

[elijahide]

I like your grip style. Thanks for the tip

[jrkorman]

Going after James Wright for a "joke off"? I had to stop to think how I actually place my "front" hand once you mentioned it.

[WoodcraftBySuman]

I usually bite the knob while planing.

[ErikBongers]

You forgot the 'smoothing grip' where you lightly rest your thumb at the front of the plane (not at the knob) and let the rest of the hand fall off next to the plane and perhaps glide along the wood below. This allows you to do the 'steering' thing, to get a last bit of twist or out-of-square fixed.

I love this man like i love ryan reynolds playing deadpool alongside a fugly dog and hugh jackman

[theeddorian]

I prefer a light "door knob" like grip. I also like the Type 11 Stanleys, which have low knobs.

[DEATH-flare]

You're not the only one with a low knob

[burritobowl]

Peak "i cant drive stick" grips right here

[styrishrodrigues]

This guy is continuously coming in my feed

[timbo]

Heck, most of the time I put my thumb behind the knob and kinda pinch the plane with my index finger gliding along the wood below.

[kappalhu]

I felt shell shock when you pulled out the fight stick grips there

[joedecristoforo]

Oh we're doing Wood By Wright puns now, Rex :)!

[theleva]

Not hust a dad joke but the knob dad joke? James Wright's ought to up his game now!
