It’s called a router plane and it can perform many of the tasks of an electric router. It’s a versatile tool and I use it for trimming tenons, fitting lap joints and making dados. The version I’m using has an optional fence which allows me to make a stopped rabbet on the edge of a board. It’s an essential tool in my workshop.

The layout is rather complicated, glad this was helpful. Thanks for the visit.

Thanks for your note and kind comments. I enjoy sharing my projects with other woodworkers. I produce videos at a snail’s pace, but it’s fun hearing from fellow woodworkers when I do. Best regards and please visit us again!

Thanks Tom, I enjoy sharing my projects on RUclips. A primitive stick chair is on my To Do list, I might make a three legged stool first. Best regards.

Thanks for visiting us. Let me know how your project goes, send me questions if you have any, and have fun!

Thanks!

Yes, I think so too. Thanks for visiting us!

Ouch!

The person behind the camera is my wife, Joaneen. She does a great job getting the shots we need for the video. Our first few videos we shared only with our families. Later on, we made them available to the public on RUclips. Treebangham? My last name is Bangham, Joaneen’s first name is Teresa (“Tree” for short), we needed a name for the RUclips channel so that’s what we came up with. Lol. We enjoy sharing these videos with our RUclips friends. Thanks for visiting us.

I’m crazy about boxes….I think it shows. So far, I’ve managed without a shooting board but they really are useful in the workshop. One of these days. Thank you for the visit.

Thank you!

Oh yes Clint, you’ve worked with chestnut too. Nice stuff, I’m always on the lookout for more. Nails have their place. I especially like the large variety made by the Tremont Nail Company. We might visit there some day. Thanks.

Yes indeed. The color, the grain, and the “imperfections” of chestnut are amazing. I’m searching for more and hope to use it on other projects.

It was fun doing a quick little project for a friend. Thanks.

Hello Willem, and guten tag from the US. Yes, Joaneen is the correct spelling. This project is a very good way to develop your hand tool woodworking skills. Patti likes the box!

Fun project. Thanks!

Keep at it! It's amazing how quickly your skills will develop. Thanks for the visit.

Sencillo y divertido de hacer. Gracias por la visita.

Good idea. Lots of options for this box.

Simple to make too. This would be a good project for someone starting out.

This was a simple and fun project. Thanks!

@@treebangham As always , I love when a new of your videos added to watch mr ken .👍

Thank you for visiting us again Mohamed.

Thank you. More to come!

Work is being done to bring the American chestnut species back. Let's hope so.

@@treebangham I've seen that. Thank you and you bet.

Thanks. This was a simple and fun project.

Thank you. I'm quite sure that chestnut never met an electron! Lol.

I agree, I wasn't as detailed in my commentary on this box. The lid spacer was glued and tacked on with small cut nails. Please feel free to ask me any details about the box. Thanks for the note!

Thank you. Please contact me if you have any questions about the making of the box.

Thanks. I used Titebond liquid hide glue. The finish is linseed oil by Tried and True. They call it "Danish Oil".

Lol. We try to keep it simple. Thanks for commenting.

Thank you. We enjoy sharing our videos with our youtube friends.

Yes. Pure 100% linseed oil from Tried and True. They call it "Danish Oil".

Thank you!

I'm lucky to have the friends that I have found.

Turned out nice...I'll be making more. Thanks.

I think your videos are fantastic, can't wait for the next one. Stay safe and have fun.@@treebangham

We enjoy making these videos. Glad you like them. All the best.

Thank you. This was a simple and fun project. Will be doing more.

Thank you. Hoping to visit Glasgow one of these days.

Glad you liked my new video. Cheers from Allentown, Pa!

Yes indeed. I like working with reclaimed lumber. Lots of character.

Thanks and Kia Ora to you as well. You taught me a new expression!

Thank you. Joaneen does a very good job with the camera. Glad you enjoy the videos.

We enjoy our time in the workshop. Yes, I often have stern words with my projects. Lol.

Almost there! Thanks for the encouragement.

Thanks, we enjoy sharing our projects on RUclips.

It helps to have a sense of humor in my workshop, that’s for sure.

Hello and thanks for the visit. The rising dovetail was a real challenge for me.

Hello and thank you. Let me know how your project goes, send me questions if you have any. For me, the mockups are an essential part of the process. They always reveal things I didn’t see in my mechanical drawings. We’re in Allentown, Lehigh county.

@@treebangham watched more of your videos today. Those are some sharp chisels! What brand of fenced router are you using? Were you self taught on sharpening or do you use a specific method. Great techniques, a true craftsman with a flare for design.

I use the Veritas large router plane, very useful for the kind of woodworking I do. The optional fence is nice to have as well. The blue handled chisels are Irwin when they were made in Sheffield. I also have a few Lie Nielsen bevel edge socket chisels. My sharpening methods have evolved over the years, starting with one small oilstone and no jig, and now I use a Veritas Mk.II honing guide on sandpaper and finer grits of abrasive film, finishing on a strop. Thanks for the note.

Thank you. Sharpening is so critical to fine woodworking. It took me many years to learn how to create a razor sharp chisel or plane iron. Once I figured that out , woodworking was so much more enjoyable. Nothing better than being able to make a plane sing or paring the perfect joint . Thanks for teaching the younger folks great techniques and letting them see what a truly sharp chisel should look like. When I was much younger I would watch Roy Underhill do wonderful work and know that there was a big difference between his sharp tools and my tools. I bought high quality steel. Buck brothers from before 1900, James Swan, Keen Kutter from the 1920's, Sargent VBM with their English steel from around 1910. I used a Makita slow speed horizontal wet grinder and DMT diamonds stones before I could make them shaving sharp and hold an edge. Once I could do that it was a whole new ballgame. Seeing your chisel brought me back to my 20's. When Roy retired I wondered who would carry on teaching the younger generation. You are doing a fine job.

Thanks Wayne. Yes, sharpening is a gateway skill in woodworking. Sharp tools are essential. Roy Underhill continues to be an inspiration to generations of woodworkers. I’m encouraged when I see so many people learning to make things. Great to see.

Thanks Wayne, simple is best. I like working with cherry and it grows here in Pennsylvania. Best regards.

Thanks David. Yes, Tite-marks, two standard size and one mini. I'm not sure if they make the mini anymore. Simple and precise. Expensive, but the best I have ever used. I don't know about the knock-offs.

@@treebangham Thanks. I’ve got a standard Tite-Mark and will probably just buy another one of those. I know they sell the standard and a long, but I’m not sure what I would ever use a long one for.

Top 32" long, 8" wide, 19.5" high, base 12.5" wide, 23" long, all stock 1.75" thick.
