Every time I watch one of your videos I think of my grandfather. He was a woodworker all his life, I have some stools he made when he was more than 90 years old! Watching him working is one of my happiest childhood memories. He was always so humble about his work, only now I realize he was a true master. Thanks for all your videos Paul!

Once again the master explains it in such simple terms that it looks as easy as it should be. Thanks Paul

If I am having trouble finding a vintage pouch plane are there good modern alternatives in production by anyone?

After watching this, I feel like I could pick one up and be able to prepare it, maintain it, and use it correctly. Though, I have never even seen one in person before. That is a great feeling to have and proof of how valuable these videos are. Thank you.

Paul - As always, a terrific video.  You are a gifted teacher.  I so much enjoy your videos.
I do have a comment:  You said you hone your plane cutters to 30˚.  I have a Record plough plane No. 044 and when I started to hone one of the cutters, I set it for 30˚ per your instructions and quickly realized that it was honed to a different angle - a steeper angle.  I went back to the Record maintenance sheet  (included in the box), and this is what it says:
"Use & Maintenance" sheet: Under the section: Sharpening the Cutter:  The Cutters have been accurately ground in the Works to an angle of 35˚.
I did some experimenting (it was not easy!) and verified my cutters are definitely honed to a 35˚ bevel - as written in the maintenance sheet.

Thanks .Very good information. 👍

Thanks. I picked up a plough plane at a boot sale but never really knew how to use it properly. This is very helpful.

Another sage bit of video from our friend, Paul!  Well done as usual!

I love your videos Paul, I just wish the close ups were a bit closer

Thank you, Paul, love your channel so much, really grateful for the time you put in the amount I learn from watching you is amazing.

I open Paul’s videos and automatically hit the like button before watching the video,   I’ve never been disappointed !

I'm late finding this, but want to comment. You are one of the very best instructors for woodworking. You  don't overwhelm a beginner, and even an experienced old fart like myself can learn alot if we aren't too arrogant to pay attention. We all can learn from each other. Be well, and keep up the good work. Regards from MN.

My Dad has just given me a Stanley 13-030 3 Blade Plough Plane (still in the box with spare blades and instructions, looks like brand new) as I come from the  'power tool generation'  I've never used anything like this, only recently got interested in hand planes, but there's something very satisfying about using them (rather than having a screaming electric motor, in your ear) I found this a fascinating little plane and I'm looking forward to using it, your concise and clear 'how to' should make the learning curve a little less steep, thank you.

I was having problems with mine but now realise I had the blade petruding too far out, so much better now, I picked up a no44 with no blades for just £6 then bought a set of blades, really great tool.

Hi Paul bought one of these a few weeks ago and have used it but found it very hard work because I was doing it how you demonstrated it shouldn’t be used. Will give it a try the way you demonstrated it should be used,.very good instructional video thank you.

Great teacher

Very timely and helpful. THANKS to all involved. 🙏

Everything well explained as usual thanks Paul

I always enjoy it when Paul gets groovy!
I'd love to see a similar video on more advanced techniques, maybe including Combination Planes with their curved beading blades, and the various setups involved. Perhaps common problems and how to resolve them?

"Offer it to the wood"..these videos are beautiful
