  So  less than a week after watching this, I am the proud owner of a working, home made rebate plane. I was surprised how easy it was. Thanks.

  When he was cutting I wanted to see how close to the line he was so I tried to blow away the sawdust... On my phone. 😂<br>I think I spent too much time cutting wood this past weekend.

  I just made this plane this morning out of scrap of red oak, took me two or three hours and it works absolutely marvelously! <br><br>Thank you for comprehensive howto, and your joy for woodworking is so contagious, I love it.

  Paul was the first person I started watching when I began WoodWorking after having Brain Surgery to remove a tumor. Very few people get a chance in life to start a new profession, Managing large amount of monies was no longer an option for me! So, according to my High school Shop teacher, i was desten to be a craftsman, I had a talent working with wood. The very first video I came across was Paul&apos;s video series on Building a workbench with minimal tools and workspace. This fit for me as I had no place to work and no tools! That was the beginning of what I have now, a shop with a customer base! The WoodWhisperer, Rob Cosmon .....I&apos;ve followed them all and not taking anything away from them! I have never seen someone with so much experience have such enjoyment and glee with what they are accomplishing!! I swear, it&apos;s like watching a youngster ride a bike for the first time!! I want that in my choice for a lifetime proffession! Thank you Paul Sellers for doing what you do and how you do it!!

  It’s currently September 23, 2026 at 2:11am and now I know what I’m building tomorrow for a project i have craft. I will also use this construction guide to build a router plane. I’ll have to modify somethings but this man here just brings out my creativity with his own creativity. Fascinating my sir.

  One of the best insturctional videos I have ever watched. &nbsp;Watched it last night. &nbsp;Picked out an off cut of oak this morning and this afternoon I have a plane I have always wanted but could not afford. &nbsp;A little more tuning and it goes on the workbench. &nbsp;Thank so much.

  I wish my grandfather would have lived long enough to be able to enjoy youtube. He and Paul are kindred spirits in as far as the woodworking. Both great men and incredible talents. I miss him dearly and Paul reminds me of him a great deal. Helps to fill a little bit of the hole left in my heart nearly 30 years ago.

  I agree with many of the people here in the comments, definitely one of your best videos to date. So much of your personality and the ideals you stand for came through on this video. You seemed so happy making this and seeing it turn out as well as it did. Also had a cheeky grin watching you use a power drill. Brilliant. Thanks for posting. Can&apos;t wait for more videos.

  His poor mans tool looks like a million bucks and work better than my expensive power tools. This man is gifted.

  We met once in Las Vegas about four to five years ago. I enjoyed the conversation we had back then about woodworking and tools.
