  • Paul Sellers' Workbench Measurements and Cutting
    PAUL SELLERS’ WORKBENCH MEASUREMENTS AND CUTTING LIST PAUL SELLERS’ WORKBENCH MEASUREMENTS AND CUTTING LIST NOTE When putting together the cutting list for my workbench, I worked in imperial, the system with which I am most comfortable. I was not happy, however, to then provide direct conversions to metric because to be accurate and ensure an exact fit this would involve providing measurements in fractions of millimetres. When I do work in metric I find it more comfortable to work with rounded numbers, therefore I have created two slightly different sets of measurements. This means that in places the imperial measurement given is not a direct conversion of the metric measurement given. Therefore, I suggest you choose one or other of the systems and follow it throughout. © 2017 – Paul Sellers v2 PAUL SELLERS’ WORKBENCH MEASUREMENTS AND CUTTING LIST WOOD QTY DESCRIPTION SIZE (IMPERIAL) SIZE (METRIC) (THICK X WIDE X LONG) (THICK X WIDE X LONG) 4 Leg 2 ¾” x 3 ¾” x 34 ⅜” 70 x 95 x 875mm 1 Benchtop 2 ⅜” x 12” x 66” 65 x 300 x 1680mm 2 Apron 1 ⅝” x 11 ½” x 66” 40 x 290 x 1680mm 1 Wellboard 1” x 12 ½” x 66” 25 x 320 x 1680mm 4 Rail 1 ½” x 6” x 26” 40 x 150 x 654mm 2 Bearer 1 ¼” x 3 ¾” x 25” 30 x 95 x 630mm 4 Wedge ⅝” x 1 ½” x 9” 16 x 40 x 228mm 4 Wedge retainer ⅝” x 1 ½” x 4” 16 x 40 x 100mm HARDWARE QTY DESCRIPTION SIZE (IMPERIAL) SIZE (METRIC) 1 Vise 9” 225mm Dome head bolts (including nuts and washers) for 4 ⅜” x 5” 10 x 130mm bolting legs to aprons 2 Lag screws (with washers) for underside of vise ½” x 2 ½” 12 x 65mm 2 Lag screws for face

  • Build a Plane That Cuts Smooth and Crisp Raised Panels With, Against Or Across the Grain – the Magic Is in the Spring and Skew
    Fixed-width PanelBY WILLARD Raiser ANDERSON Build a plane that cuts smooth and crisp raised panels with, against or across the grain – the magic is in the spring and skew. anel-raising planes are used Mass., from 1790 to 1823 (Smith may to shape the raised panels in have apprenticed with Joseph Fuller doors, paneling and lids.

They differ only in the I’ve studied panel-raising planes spring angles (the tilt of the plane off made circa the late 18th and early 19th vertical) and skew of the iron (which centuries, including one made by Aaron creates a slicing cut across the grain to Smith, who was active in Rehoboth, reduce tear-out). The bed angle of the Smith plane is 46º, and the iron is skewed at 32º. Combined, these improve the quality of cut without changing the tool’s cutting angle – which is what happens if you skew Gauges & guides. It’s best to make each of these gauges before you start your plane build. In the long run, they save you time and keep you on track. Shaping tools.

  • 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.

  • Bevel-Up Smoother Plane
    Bevel-Up Smoother Plane 05P36.01 Patent Pending The Veritas® Bevel-Up Smoother Plane is a state-of-the-art smoothing plane. We have combined the generous width and weight of a dedicated smoother with the versatile inner workings of a low-angle bevel-up plane. The 12° bed angle, coupled with the 38° blade bevel, yields an effective cutting angle of 50° that is commonly known as a York pitch. The bevel-up blade confi guration means that simply increasing the blade bevel results in higher cutting angles, thereby enabling the working of diffi cult grain patterns. Weighing in at just under 5 pounds, with an exceptionally low center of gravity, this plane is dubbed 1641/2H. The coffi n-shaped body has a sole length of 10". The 21/4" wide blade is 3/16" (0.187") thick and made of A2 tool steel hardened to Rc60-62 and it is common to both this plane and the Veritas® Low-Angle Jack Plane. The body is fully stress-relieved, ductile cast iron. It is accurately machined and the sole is ground fl at. It features an adjustable mouth that can be closed to a narrow slit for fi ne shavings with minimum tear-out or opened for heavier cuts. All of this can be done quickly and accurately with the front locking knob and the unique mouth adjustment screw/stop. The adjustment mechanism, with its combined feed and lateral adjustment knob, makes blade setting easy and accurate. The set screws on either side of the blade prevent it from shifting in use, but allow full lateral adjustment.

  • 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.

  • High Angle Smoothing Plane Comparison
    High angle smoothing plane comparison By Lyn J. Mangiameli June 2002 (PDF conversion by Peter Williams) Well, this is finally it. What will follow in several parts is the high angle smoothing plane investigation I have been working on for over a year. I’ve done about all I can to make it thorough and objective, but no project of this nature can be entirely either. Because of that, I’m going to try to put forward as much information as possible, that way you will know why I did things, how I did things, and what are the specific findings obtained. If you want, you can use the techniques presented to conduct evaluations of your own, and I intend to suggest some investigations that may be worth doing in the future. By posting the background first, any questions as to how things were done, or why things were done can be understood before the plane rankings are presented. Lyn Introduction: This review is different from my earlier plane reviews that have focused on the design, ergonomics and quality of manufacture in addition to the surface the plane could achieve. In this review, there were only two primary objectives: To determine if high bedding angle planes, as a group, tended to perform better than standard angle planes on difficult to plane woods (i.e., should you obtain a High Angle plane if you work with difficult hardwoods that are prone to tearout, fuzzing, etc.); and, more specifically, to find which planes and/or plane configurations yielded the best surface on particularly difficult to surface woods.

You may print copies for your own personal use only. 1 BENCHCRAFTED · SHAKER BENCH PLANS · INTRODUCTION & DESIGN · “Whatever perfections you may have, be assured people will find them out, but whether they do or not, nobody will take them on your word” Canterbury, New Hampshire, 1844 When I first laid eyes on the workbench at the Hancock Shaker Museum in Pittsfield, Massachusetts I had a pretty good idea of the configuration of my next workbench. I think it would be safe to say that I was inspired. However, designing a workbench that is inspired by a Shaker icon can be intimidating as well. I had to do justice to the original and keep in mind what might be considered acceptable. Luckily, most are aware that the Shakers were quite accepting of new technologies that could be practically applied, so this did allow a fair amount of leeway in regards to using more recent workholding devices on this bench. In the end, I did want the look to be very representative of the Shaker Ideal. “‘Tis a Gift to Be Simple” is an over used Shaker pronouncement, however I often think it’s meaning is misinterpreted. I believe it means having freedom from making things unnecessarily complicated.
