These include the No. 5, 5½, 6, 10¼, 62, and The longest planes are designed for flattening. These include the No. 7, 8, and 7½. The shortest, widest planes are ideal for finishing. These include the No. 1, 2, 3, 4, 4½, and These solid tools will give excellent results in the most demanding conditions.  All of our Bench Planes have Manganese Bronze caps and frogs, and Cherry knobs and handles, hand shaped and buffed to a silky smooth finish. Iron tools are cast from Ductile Iron, a very strong alloy that will take a lot of abuse. We use Manganese Bronze for the bodies of Bronze tools. Among the many quality alternatives for hand planes these days, Bench Dog Tools has recently entered the market with nine new options. You can choose from two sizes of smoothing planes, three jack planes, a jointer plane, block plane and two shoulder planes. Common to the line, the plane bodies are made of ductile cast iron for superior strength and impact resistance, and the soles are precision-ground flat right out of the box. Their pre-sharpened hardened carbon-steel blades are either 1/8- or 3/in. thick (depending on the plane) to help reduce chattering.  The blade is also 3/8 in. wider than the No. 4. Its sole measures 3 x /4 in. The 1/8-in.-thick blade installs bevel down and beds against the frog at 45 degrees.

Are you tired of seeing the same old boring bench dog jointer plane 10 bench on the internet? Oh you know the one, the Roubo, or French Woodworking Bench. Everyone's got one. They claim it's "The Ultimate Bench", the last bench you'll ever need And yes, it's sturdy, it's solid, it's a beast of a bench. I would certainly work on one. But you know what I don't have? That's my mortgage payment. What I do have? I've got an 84 Lumber by the house here. It's loaded with good quality construction grade yellow pine that is perfect for this bench.

Why is construction grade pine perfect for this bench? It's a carpenter's bench from the 18th century. It was built on job sites. It was built by cabinet makers. It was built by the working man, not the hobbyist. And while I am a hobbyist, with a bunch of fancy power tools to make this easier on me, I appreciate the blue collar aspect of this build and the bench dog jointer plane 10 behind it. One of my bench dog jointer plane 10 characteristics of this bench is the variety of work holding options.

If you so desired, you could build this bench without vises entirely and just have hold fasts. I went with a quick release vise and a leg vise, but the more traditional versions had wagon vises that were build into the bench itself. Also, a lot of folks may ask about the use of pine when working with hardwoods on the surface. Denting and banging up your surface isn't that big of an issue. What is an issue is weight, and southern yellow pine makes this bench heavy, stable, and as I said before, significantly affordable.

All in all, I'm thrilled with this bench and I encourage you to not only check out the YouTube video but to purchase the book that this was built from Christopher Schwarz's Workbenches. That book has actual plans and a cut list for this and that boring Roubo as well as a lot of the history and the why behind those classic benches.

For the most part, this lumber is available bench dog jointer plane 10 over the United States. If you don't have access to Southern Yellow Pine in your area I'm looking at you northern states Douglas Fir is a good bench dog jointer plane 10. Straight grain is preferred and at times during the build I would actually do glue ups for components in an effort to get the best straight grain. For the aprons I ended up with some cathedral grain which is also acceptable but is a bit trickier to plane.

Since these are construction grade boards, I stickered and stacked them to let bench dog jointer plane 10 get to equilibrium before running them through the thickness planer to get them just a hair above final thickness.

This allows me the opportunity to hand plane everything down to finish without going below the desired thickness. Typically, you may have to wait a week or two, sometimes longer before getting to work on these boards. You can use a moisture meter but I would just touch the end grain and the face grain. If still wet, the end grain will be a lot cooler to the touch than the face grain.

Once they feel more or less the same, Bob's your uncle and we're ready to go. I don't haver a jointer so my milling process is a little different than some folks. I use either a track saw or the taper jig to get that square edge. I'll run through the planer first, square the edge, run the other side through the planer, and then rip the last edge. The legs themselves are angled at twenty degrees, so I set my miter gauge with the back stop accordingly and then cut the legs down to size.

The bench dog jointer plane 10 each consist of two boards that are then glued together in an additive joinery fashion. Basically creating a 3x4 post. Before glue up, I hit them with the hand plane to make sure the mating surfaces are flat. The glue up consists of a piece that is significantly shorter, which creates a half lap that the apron will nest into. That apron that I mentioned before is covered in dog holes is one of the signature pieces of the Nicholson and creates an endless amount of work holding options.

One recommendation I have before diving deep into this project is to get your hands on a bevel gauge. This is an old Stanley that I've been using but you can pick these up for cheap at the hardware store. The Jointer Planer Bench bevel gauge will allow you to match angles and helps in your layout instead of constantly having to rely on all your machines to be perfectly calibrated to 20 degrees. The lower and upper rails come together with drawbored mortise and tenon to create two separate leg assemblies.

Essentially your front and rear legs. Why drawbored mortise and tenon? And what is drawbored mortise and tenon? Let's start with the what. Drawbored mortise and tenon is a regular mortise and tenon bench dog jointer plane 10 has a peg driven through an offset hole which causes the bench dog jointer plane 10 to draw tighter together. It's a miracle joint that actually doesn't even require glue to hold strong if you so choose. Well, workbenches take a ton of racking forces bench dog jointer plane 10 all directions.

This kind of bench dog jointer plane 10 and tenon is beefy and designed to withstand abuse and maintain structural integrity. Usually, I would cut the mortise first and then fit a tenon accordingly.

Here, I went reversed and did the tenons first and then marked out the mortises. I used a dado stack to get the majority of the waste off the tenons, then worked it down to final thickness with hand tools. For Bench Dog Jointer Plane Difference the mortises, I hogged out the waste on the drill press and then cleaned up with chisels. With everything fit, I brought bench dog jointer plane 10 together using epoxy as my adhesive to maximize working time.

The drawbored aspect of this is probably the most intimidating for bench dog jointer plane 10 who hasn't done it before. Then after dry assembly, using that same brad point bit to mark the center of the hole on the tenon. Basically, when the dowel is driven through the holes, the offset will suck the joint tighter toward the shoulder. Determining the offset is a bit tricky. In this case I just went one width of Bench Dog Jointer Plane Planer my punch tip north.

The aprons are one of the big highlights of this bench. I planed them down to final thickness with hand planes and then used the track saw to trim up the ends and then add a little 45 degree detail as well.

The 45 degree is purely aesthetic with absolutely no function. After that the aprons are glued onto the leg assemblies and then mounted from the inside with 2" construction screws. After it comes out the clamps, I flush the aprons to the tops of the legs with a hand plane.

Then, turning the base on its side, I start laying out and marking for dog holes. The dividers are set to 4" and that gives me perfectly consistent spacing by walking down the dividers along my marking lines. The punch makes sure the brad point of the forstner has an alignment point and I just free bench dog jointer plane 10 drill these by making sure the head of the forstner is going in as straight as can be expected.

Then matching the angles of the legs, I'll rip a strip of pine to act as a cleat for the top to mount into. In a pivot from the Schwarz version of this bench, I'm going to use a quick release vise on bench dog jointer plane 10 end instead of a wagon vise. The function is essentially the same and saved me a ton of work to create the wagon vise. However, In needed to build up material to be able to accommodate it. I glue in one board at a time and clamp each board to the next to build a block to accept the vise hardware.

They also get a right angle bracket which again, will help against all the racking forces a bench takes regularly.

To fit the vise, I mark the jaw out and mortise it into one of the boards in the block. Once again, using a router and chisels. Now the vise screw proved tricky for me. Had I to do this again, I would have cut this out ahead of time with the bench unassembled. So spade bits, a jigsaw, and a rasp get me to a point where the vise screw can fit the bench. Then I bored for a through bolt to mount the vise from the bottom and used lag screws toward the back of the vise which ensures the vise is going nowhere.

I capped the jaw with a piece of scrap oak and used the brad point bit to mark the holes, pre-drilling, and then fired a screw in. This whole face was ultimately screwed in instead of glued in the event the vise ever needs to be changed or removed.

This ensures I have vertical alignment, but allows me wiggle room left to right while waiting on the glue to cure. Then I flatten the top. Then I tilt it back on its side and flush the top to the apron. For my leg vise I modified a lee valley tail vise screw by putting a hand wheel on it. This is entirely unnecessary but I just liked the look.

I bench dog jointer plane 10 to take the wheel to a machinist to get the holes right and then had some adventures driving bench dog jointer plane 10 this roll pin. However, if it is something you're into, you can just pound out the cross pin on the lee valley screw and then replace the handle with whatever you like.

The bolts I had on hand to mount it were a little long, so I cut them down with the angle grinder. Threading the nut on first allows for repairing or reshaping damaged threads on the end when unscrewing the nut. I've never used Miller Dowels before and I have to say, I'm delightfully impressed.

Miller dowels will be replacing all the screws in the bench dog jointer plane 10 top.

A wide selection of woodwork replacement plane blades and plane spare parts. Many of the replacement plane blades and parts we hold fit traditional planes such as Stanley planes and Record planes. The bench needed a plane stop, so I picked up the lee valley aluminum adjustable plane stop and hogged out the mortise with a chisel. Schwarz mentions these in his book and talks about the unruly bottom shape which makes these a bit difficult to install.
