It's actually the correct way. the oron is fully protected and I never met a true craftsman that laid his plane on the side throughout my fifty years. However, in public schools, a manual was produce to stop children of 13 plonking their planes on top of chisels and squares and other tools that damaged the edge of a plane and that, I understand, is where your nono came from. My iron is protected when when standing upright and it's also ready for action without the awkwardness of lifting  it.

I'm absolutely in awe of this man's videos. I feel like I'm in a shop as an apprentice. He teaches with simplicity and humbleness. Thank you SO MUCH for these videos.

wow this dude is awesome, he like the Bob Ross of wood working

I just want to say thank you. I see you've gone to great lengths to make these high quality videos, to share your impressive woodworking skills. As someone without a mentor, I can't express how valuable these free videos are to me. You are an excellent teacher!

why on earth would anyone give this down votes? This is craftmanship at its core.

It's nice to see an actual educated Joiner on youtube. Woodworking has become too much of a backyard business in the last few decades. People tend to forget this is actually an art. With knowledge accumulating after decades, not after a table saw purchase.

He is a GREAT teacher ,kind and unassuming from his demeanour. Use what you have I have heard him say many a time . he is not selling anything.If you watch enough of his free vids it is almost like getting a free apprenticeship.BRAVO PAUL BRAVO.and thank you.

I remember watching this when it first came out.  Pauls videos are the best thing on Youtube.   I subscribed to his Masterclass videos for a couple years.  Well worth it.

How refreshing is Paul! No stupid music and excellent work from someone I could listen to all day.

Thanks Bobbie. I like doing these because they seem to help people take the plunge. We have many more we are working on so look out for them too.

Reminds me as a kid playing with the wood shavings in my uncle's shop. He was a master carpenter and didn't have any power tools. He'd harvest the tree, take it to the local sawmill to make planks and bring the planks home to final finish like this video.

Ripping that with a hand saw is wild! Much respect.

Finally, someone that admits that there are some woods you just can't plane.

I think most people would agree that everyone should have a teacher like you in school.

This is the best channel on The tube!

I own a bandsaw mill to restore a dozen buildings on our decrepit 112 year old farm incl barn and house to former glory.  We are using mostly only tools available when our home was built.  We meet people who tell us to just buy square lumber and hire people!  But this is our retirement project!  It would rob us of the joy of bringing something dead back to life.  2400 sq’ house and 60,000 sq’ barn and assorted feeders and original log cabin.   To me each struck or chisel or saw is a pure joy! (And being Scottish, i appreciate that it’s CHEAP!)

Greetings from Brazil! I made the poor man's rebate plane, it works really well. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

Did anyone Like this just because Paul had worked so hard?

I should have watched this video last night. I'm making a piano bench as my second woodworking project, and I just got some teak from a local guy. Pretty cheap here in Thailand, so I'm lucky. Just spent the morning masterfully squaring all four sides of 2 legs. Did it so well I forgot about thickness. So now I have to painfully wait 2 days for a gauge to arrive so I can do it properly, and also live with the fact my 2 inch legs will now be 1.75 inches. Thanks for the video, I really respect the craft and your teaching!
