  • Woodriver Planes, I’Ll Admit That I Had Some Misgivings About Putting Myself in the Crossfire

    Woodriver Planes, I’Ll Admit That I Had Some Misgivings About Putting Myself in the Crossfire

    HOT NEW TOOL REVIEW WoodRiver Exclusive Planes Tester: Craig Bentzley fter reading some heated Internet Athreads about the WoodRiver planes, I’ll admit that I had some misgivings about putting myself in the crossfire. Then, I thought about the guy looking to buy his first block or bench plane on a limited budget. Price is important, especially today. (I had been woodworking for 15 years before I could afford my first Bed Rock.) That said, no tool is a bargain if it doesn’t work properly. So, out of pure curiosity, I accepted the assignment to examine and test the first editions of the WoodRiver block and bench planes. First, the facts. The bench planes where I checked them for flatness and perfect until I checked them during this (Nos. 3, 4, 5 and 6) are modeled after the side-to-sole perpendicularity and then test. The sides measured out of square by Stanley “Bed Rock,” which went out of subjected them to a general inspection. an average of about .5°, about the same production in 1943. These new planes In total, I spent about 45 minutes on each as my vintage planes. The castings are feature a solid, machined frog (see photo, bench plane before it was ready to use. heavier than my Bed Rocks, and tougher below) designed to reduce blade chatter, Not bad considering some vintage planes too. One of the shortcomings of the old and a three-screw adjustment system that need over four hours of fettling and often planes was the tendency of the cast iron allows for throat adjustments without require a blade and chipbreaker upgrade.
  • Low-Angle and Standard Block Planes the Veritas® Block Planes Measure 61/2" Long by 2" Wide

    Low-Angle and Standard Block Planes the Veritas® Block Planes Measure 61/2" Long by 2" Wide

    Low-Angle and Standard Block Planes The Veritas® Block Planes measure 61/2" long by 2" wide. The body is ductile cast iron, a material much more durable as well as more stable than gray iron, having been fully stress relieved. The body is accurately machined so that the sole is fl at, the sides are square to the sole, and the bed is fl at and square to the sides. The large side wings increase stability for shooting and the unique triple fi nger grip indentations provide comfort and control. The plane’s adjustable mouth may be closed to a narrow slit for fi ne shavings with minimum tear-out or opened for heavier cuts. Adjustment is done quickly and easily with a brass locking knob. The 15/8" blade, at 1/8" (0.125") thick, is 11/2 times the thickness of standard (0.080") plane blades, and is available in either A2 tool steel hardened to Rc60-62 or O1 tool steel hardened to Rc58-60. The excellent damping qualities of the blade combined with the solid bed and clamping system virtually eliminate chatter under all conditions. The low-angle block plane has a bed angle of 12° and the standard block plane has a bed angle of 20°. The blade has a fi nely ground bevel of 25°. The lever cap is molded to comfortably fi t the palm of the hand, as well as to securely hold the blade directly over the bed at the front and on a large clamping pad at the rear.

  • Hand Planes Are for Fine Woodworking

    Hand Planes Are for Fine Woodworking

    GarrettWade White Paper Steel and Wooden Planes In this age of power-driven tools, it’s easy to forget how important hand planes are for fine woodworking. Not only can you usually do better and more careful work with a hand plane, but you can often work much more quickly, because of power tool set-up time. Skill at hand planing is one of the most important abilities of any woodworking craftsman. Experience with hand planes will help you understand exactly what a power tool is doing when you use it for a particular job; an important and subtle appreciation, if one is to achieve consistently good results with power tools. A hand plane is also a far more forgiving tool; experienced woodworkers know that care sacrificed for speed ruins more otherwise good work than anything else. General Tips Here are a few hints about using any plane. First, keep the blade as sharp as possible. Bench stones and honing guides are excellent for this purpose. Secondly, with rare exception, plane with the grain. Look at the side of the stock to see at a glance which way the grain runs. If you don’t work with the grain, you run the danger of catching the grain, lifting chips of wood, and producing a rough surface. Exceptions to this rule are discussed with the applicable plane. When planing end grain, push the plane in one direction to the middle of the board only, then repeat this process going in the other direction. This prevents splitting the board at the edge.

  • Setting up Shop

    Setting up Shop

    Setting Up Shop There are some tools and machines that are necessary to complete even the most basic woodworking projects, and lots that are optional and can be added as your skills grow. There are also some issues about setting up shop that concern the physical space, such as workflow, wiring and dust control. Let's begin with some housekeeping habits. It's a really good idea to force yourself to clean up at the end of every woodshop session. Some people just walk away, thinking they will clean up first thing in the morning, but in reality the addiction is too strong: they will walk into the shop and immediately want to build. A clean shop is a safer shop. It's also more efficient, because everything is in its place so you can find it. We are creatures of habit, and we can train ourselves to have either good or bad habits. Many woodworkers keep every little bit of leftover wood, thinking it will come in handy some day. Their widows have a heck of a time getting rid of these hoarded piles of firewood. Long scraps are a lot more useful than short ones. In our shop, if it's shorter than two feet, it is used to make gifts or is delivered to the local campground for kindling. If it's more than two feet long and an inch or more in width, it can be edge-glued to similar boards to make usable wider ones, or glued to contrasting species to make cheeseboards and other holiday gifts such as the magic wine bottle holder shown at left.
