Jack Plane Patron Giveaway!
Added 2018-08-29 23:20:23 +0000 UTCFriends:
I'm giving away the jack plane I reviewed and prepared in one of my recent videos. I know a lot of my Patrons are just getting started in woodworking and need good tools. Even if you have some tools, using this Hong Kong style plane can be a real eye-opener.
Either way, the details are in the brief video above.
I hope this is just the start of me thanking my patrons in more tangible ways.
Happy Hump Day!

2018-08-31 13:07:41 +0000 UTCYeah, I've got the old meat-hooks myself. It's Stanley style planes for me all day long.

2018-08-31 13:07:08 +0000 UTCtruth be told, i do have my eye on another Bailey jack plane that i can get at a good price. I already have one that i inherited, and my craftsman that i recently bought is really really good. The other just has "Made in USA" on it and is in rough shape, but will make a fun restoration project and scrub plane. I don't know how much longer i can restrain myself. So yes, i still want another one. I think more than anything, i'm a big guy with meathook hands, and the plane looked not very fun to use whereas i love using my metal jack planes. I have a vintage 4" jointer, but the hand planes are great for getting that final tight fit when jointing a table top before glue up.

2018-08-31 10:44:18 +0000 UTCHey! You're an audio engineer! I would have loved to have known you when I was playing actively in bands in my 20s. I do think that desk looks great. Nice sketchup as well.

2018-08-30 18:05:44 +0000 UTCAlso I forgot to specify it is a 1930's French one car garage... so it's probably even smaller for both those reasons (I stopped trying to get my car in there after I scratched it a bunch of times :/ )

2018-08-30 14:53:35 +0000 UTCI get by, it's way better than my New York appartment where I made my audio desk (<a href="http://www.benoitholliger.com/)" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.benoitholliger.com/)</a>

2018-08-30 14:53:22 +0000 UTCI would be proud indeed! You know how much of my stuff looked like junk when I got it (some of it STILL looks like junk). I got my start in a 1 car garage. You can do a LOT of work in that space, but low ceilings are a drag.

2018-08-30 11:22:04 +0000 UTCMan, having a lot of planes has never kept me from wanting another one. You're generous to take yourself out of the contest.
Rex Krueger
2018-08-30 11:20:32 +0000 UTCWell, if you ever do, make sure to contact me ! I live near Paris at the moment. You can use my humble one car garage with 2m high sealing "shop". I think you'de be proud to see that most of my tools are other people's junk. :)
Benoit Holliger
2018-08-30 10:54:48 +0000 UTCYup, we can work something out, no problem. You live in France? I've never been, but I'd love to.
Rex Krueger
2018-08-30 10:24:09 +0000 UTCGreat! I can't wait to see if I win! I'm overseas (France) but I go back and forth a lot (my wife is from the US) so we'll work something out (my confidence in winning will guide your hand!)
Benoit Holliger
2018-08-30 09:11:27 +0000 UTCThis is awesome and generous of you! but i have 3 vintage Jackplanes, 2 that i'm quite happy with, so please take me out of this drawing so it can go to someone who will use it. I know, i know, statistically it's unlikely i would win, but i'm just following directions here ;p
James Kison
2018-08-30 02:42:22 +0000 UTCNo, I'll keep you in the drawing. No worries.

2018-08-30 00:23:15 +0000 UTCGreat idea! Uh....should I delete this comment if I want my name in the hat?
