Jonathan Mc Donald says:
There is a great deal of medicinal purpose in using a plane. It just feels right.
Joe Doyle says:
As it turns out, I have one of those tongue-and-groove planes. It was in a box that I acquired after my grandfather died, but there is no telling where he got it. I must take a look at it again, and see if I can get something happening in the scraps that I have in my garage.
Good show OCH.
James Greene says:
Make sure you buy the right Lee Nielsen T&G plane! They are make for two different sizes of stock.
Gef Flimlin says:
Harry is one of the finest educators I have ever met. He can make complicated things simple and intriguing.

That’s some fine camera work at the end!
Thanks guys.
Peter MacLearn says:
Excellent video. Thanks.
Larry Cheek says:
I have ΒΌ as many planes as Harry and 1/40 of his skills. Not going to catch up on either track. Still, it’s an inspiring and useful video. Thanks once again, OCH.

Have found that a COMPASS PLANE is the perfect tool for cutting uniform concave curves, e.g., the inner face of a stem.
Peter Brackenbury says:
…I just checked out the Lie Nielsen link and there it is, ready for my next birthday.
Peter Brackenbury says:
snick, snick, snick, bam! Tongue and groove. So cool, and no need for ear protection. Only problem is after seeing this video everyone is going to try to find one!
