ReMaking a Wooden Jointer Plane

[Music] so I got this old joiners plane it's a pitch to the late 1800s and I know that the iron in it was made by a company called hand cook and cook and cook tools can't read where they were located just to have some writing on the back of it I don't recall that said Buffalo or Boston but obviously upper north the Northeast was where it was made but anyway the handle on it when I got it was dried and cracked and such and unfortunately it got bumped and it broke and I've been thinking about you know chiseling out this handle making a new one putting it in there then I got to looking at the plane itself and it's got a lot of checks that go really deep into the bed so I've decided I'm going to remake the entire plane keeping only the the iron and the cap iron for it and make a new one out of the con because right now I just happen to have quite a bit of pecan when I made the modifications to our barn over there the previous owner this house was a he had mules and he had put hardwoods up on the inside of the barn as a kick panel for the mules well a lot of that when I took it down turned out to be pecan and there's a lot of oak - not as much over there was pecan so I've already glued up a blank to cut up I've got a dimension it down a bit whatnot then I'm just going to cut it and cut it and cut it and get it ready and then I've got some thinner stuff that I mailed out to hit my sides it's not going to be quite as long as this one was this one was like 23 I think 26 and so the new ones probably gonna be more like 24 yeah I get 24 hours at least and then I got a piece of pecan to make the wedge I don't and I'm gonna do the handle of a piece of walnut that I got over here so this project might take me a couple of days so you're not going to see this video the day that I am normally I get my videos like a I film during the day and then I spend the evening editing and then I send it out the next morning for you guys to see this one might not quite get there I think this is gonna be a multiple day project so anyway that's what we're gonna do we're gonna make a new wooden enjoyers plane replicated after a very old wooden joiners plane no here we go [Music] [Music] okay so we got that dimensioned out so that we had the size we should be back to the original wit and then it's like now I need to figure out my cuts so you just go back and I've already kind of set this up a little bit this is the angle of the iron bed and it is let's see how I do this looks like it's 45 degrees no baby there so we'll be cutting a section off of 45 degrees to be the back half of it and then the front one [Music] getting cut and at 30 degrees there we go and then the bottom out the front one will actually have a small part knocked off of it here going back the other way we'll figure that out after we got at the cuts made the first two cuts and I'm probably gonna go ahead and square off the end at least at the back I'll leave the front while for now and I need to know about where to cut of that thing here that was 14 ages 14 to Nathe I think I'll just use 14 so I cut this measure over cut the 45 and then reverse that to 30 of them over so it'll be the front and then of course it's going to get chopped down when I hit the side to boot on anyway but hey oh well maybe I should radius the ends of it I've seen them like that before hey well think about it [Applause] you know what I am going to measure how long that angle is at the bottom and find out what its angle is because if it's 45 then all I have to do is cut like up and here the 30 degrees so let me do that real quick well it's nowhere near 45 but it's actually a little bit steeper than 45 so I'm going to go ahead and cut it out here and then I can adjust that cut later on let's go right about there [Music] [Music] aha it's 60 that's what it is [Music] [Music] there we go [Music] yep that's about how it is in there okay so that is almost perfectly how it is the way that angle is might bring that up a little bit more of it that's pretty close and then the gap at the bottom is about that wide and of course we've got the screw that holds the cap iron on so we have to cut a groove in here and yes the iron actually goes out into the sides so we get to play with that too let's see there's parallel to the face of the thing all right so how do you do is figure out where my slot is going to go I had a pencil where to go and that's gonna be the bottom of it after you make sure that I'm going to be Center maybe the way to do this would be to get a screwdriver and take the cap off then I can Center this on here obviously this is not wide enough for the screw but it gives me an idea where I need to be and I need to go just a little bit lower than that because that is when the blade that's where it sits when Capernaum that's where the blade sits right flush with the bottom of the plane so we're going to just timed it below that I didn't hear how wide is our cap screw it is just a hair under five inch dear sir that's not straight because now I got to figure out what the best way to cut that slot is going to be I think I'm going to draw a little drill a series of holes and fours in a bit and then chisel it out I think that's gonna be the best way to do that right right so here we go all right so I'll dimension to the sides we're looking pretty good here I did have to run them across the jointer that surface wasn't my planer was acting up a while back and this says this apparently got planed while I was acting up heading like a little wave to it so took that out those are ready to go I've also got to do the handle and then the front it's pretty pretty much done deal like I still want to cut that a little steeper angle but probably just do that off camera or when I have a moment yeah so the other fun part about this is you'll notice on this guy that the there's a the part of that wedge sticks in there and holds the iron down has like a shelf there and a tapered what would you call it tapered dado and then it's made so the chips will come out a little easier up here so it thins out if you're at the top so I've actually got to figure out where all that's happening and make those cuts in this and in my new sites before I actually clue them on which is challenging because when I glue them on they slide and get in the wrong place that I'm screwed so I'll probably have to come up with a good way to not let that happen so basically I have to decide where how big that opening on the mouth opening is going to be this is one half of an inch well every close there we go there's happening so that will tell me where this and this and I need to do that to this side as well I haven't joined of the fans on edges of these yet so I'm trying to make sure that I get the bandsaw edges up or it'll be easier to deal with them afterwards I'll mark where these intersect with this what's their guess I really don't need the bottom angle on there it's gonna be a solid glue there you know all right there's my marks Pat now I could figure out the wedge angle I'm going to do that by putting a cap iron along the line that is the bed of the plane and then I'm going to lay this little wedge right up here about where it used to fit in the old plane and draw a line let's go all the way down here we go that looks pretty good then we'll do the same fish side just in case you're wondering no I have no idea what I'm doing I'm just trying to do it hey I read some books I watched some videos does that count yeah what I should have marked that wedge when I did this over here so I'd know what level it was at because these two need to be pretty much the same and it's right there alright let their mark on the lid and then I can transfer that mark across to the other side now I should be able to do this one and have it come out you know relatively close to the same you list the fun thing about doing things that you haven't ever done before and just kind of figuring it out there you go you know kind of like life you just kind of have to figure it out there you go there we go we drill the end of that lining because I have freehand it it's not straight so now I got to figure out how he takes me to be and what cut those this is how to figure out how deep they need to be all right let's cut just let out you know what I think I need a a curve too right there okay where was I Wow so I started this two days ago got that first part done and the next day I didn't get chance to work on it so here we are on day three and I'm right back where I was but not the data was done and I've got the clamp them up here on the sides you know put them where they're supposed to be and clamped it and make sure that this was going to fit down in there and it does so we're in good shape there next thing is down here at the bottom where the chips are coming out right now this would catch the chips so I've got to cut at an angle and then taper that out which is how the old one was done I don't know that you're gonna be able to see up in there or down in there but anyway there's there's a taper on the sides here that goes out to the outsides of the plane so that's what I'm gonna bring it next and I need my saw back right you can actually look at and work like a plane here that's where we're at so far there so now I need to cut my handle and put a mortise in here for the handle to set in and they should be pretty close to getting it put together I'll have to make my new Ridge for this part and now all right let's do this let's get the handle cut out shall we see you at the bandsaw just kidding see you at the drill press first [Applause] [Applause] [Music] so I sanded the handle up off-camera and as I figured you guys didn't want to watch a bunch of sanding again and now I'm going to mark out where this is going on the body of this now one of the things that I have to pay attention to is that this has to go by that handle when it's down in there so it's actually going to be there so I need to be able to slide it past that or inset that height and that looks like about it right there so then I'll just I'm marking knife right there and working across middle I will mark that out first I want to make sure it's centered I need my tape measure for that okay so three quarters in a five base to that side 1/16 and there is it sink back anyway our I'll just hold that down and we're good marking up I can see that well enough so now I in do is drill it down that I think that's about 3/4 yep go down three quarters of an inch their car is an inch wide scrape out the remainder in proper handling and what are you finally moving forward you're like a littlest thing together yeehaw let's do it [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music]
