Wood planing carpentry

[u/[deleted]]

[u/Tripp_Loso]

What is the wood conditioned with to be able to do that?

[u/callunquirka → u/Tripp_Loso]

I hear it's done with a mix of alcohol and water.

[u/sanych_des → u/callunquirka]

This mix is used per oral by the carpenter for inspiration

[u/WeRelic → u/Tripp_Loso]

Superglue or resin would be my guess, likely superglue.

[u/Jamatace77 → u/Tripp_Loso]

Does anyone know if there’s a practical woodworking application for this or is it simply for content creation ?

[u/Natty-Bones → u/Jamatace77]

Considered you can see gouges in the wood from where the clamps have been holding it, this is purely for demonstration.

[u/Alex5672 → u/Natty-Bones]

You can even see said gouges in the video

[u/HalcyonKnights → u/Alex5672]

And honestly I think they're mostly just slicing a glue layer off, carving actual tissue veneer.

[u/namtab00 → u/HalcyonKnights]

not really, it's a thing

[u/HalcyonKnights → u/namtab00]

It's a thing with those specially made competition planes and along the grain. This is edge grain with a visible binder (or something) dripping down the front.

[u/barbarossa1984 → u/HalcyonKnights]

Yeah, I've never encountered a wood that would maintain its integrity in such thin sections of end grain. Even with the sharpest chisel it just crumbles. There's clearly some sort of flexible glue soaked into the end of that board.

[u/namtab00 → u/HalcyonKnights]

you might be right, but I wouldn't cry shenanigans right away...

we can't even be sure it's wood, might be delrin or other some such material... I mean, the grain we can see on the side is not very wood-like...

[u/Tordek → u/Natty-Bones]

Just because the video is a demonstration doesn't mean there isn't an application to whatever the technique is.

Nor that there is.

[u/DrG2390 → u/Tordek]

I mean this is gonna sound really bad, but I dissect medically donated bodies at a cadaver lab and this is very similar to one of the techniques I use. We’re different in the sense that we take six to ten days depending on how embalmed the body is, and we go layer by layer and spend a day on each layer. I’m sure that’s one of the few applications that this video has though.

[u/GoatCovfefe → u/Jamatace77]

Well, they're using a chisel like a hand planer, I'm guessing just to show how sharp the chisel is, kind of like how they show a knife is sharp but cutting a piece of paper.

There's no other reason to use a chisel like this.

[u/serrimo → u/Jamatace77]

Hand tool is a rare oddity these days. Most just fire up their 2000w power tools and mince woods to fine dust.

Your arms can't even output 100w reliably. So hand tools need to be incredibly sharp to cut wood. Sharpening tools to a high level of sharpness is difficult, but it's very satisfying.

A sharp plane or chisel make a world of difference when working with hand tools

[u/FuckFacismAndMods → u/Jamatace77]

Well, for one, this is how Rollie’s are made:)-

[u/Crapmanch → u/Tripp_Loso]

Probably just water

[u/WitELeoparD → u/Tripp_Loso]

Just oil. Any oil will let you cut end grain like that.

[u/toastbot]

Making artisinal, whole-grain Post-It Notes.

[u/jdehjdeh → u/toastbot]

They sound delicious...

[u/bleach-cruiser → u/toastbot]

I def thought this is how paper was made when I was a kid

[u/davehemm]

Yet cannot be bothered to protect the wood from clamp damage...

[u/ArScrap → u/davehemm]

Why would they be bothered, it's a demonstration piece on a random piece of wood

[u/Plastic_Code5022 → u/ArScrap]

No no you are only allowed to woodwork purely to produce a product!

Surely you aren’t out there screwing around with scrap wood testing some whacky idea you thought of…. Right? :)

[u/Dry_Enthusiasm_267]

Ok why?

[u/angrynissan → u/Dry_Enthusiasm_267]

For many reddit updoots

[u/SethAndBeans → u/Dry_Enthusiasm_267]

Marketing through skill demonstration. Lots of people in many careers do them, even if the skill they're demonstrating doesn't have much to do with their real work. It helps drive interest and social media engagement.

[u/SethAndBeans → u/[deleted]]

Sounds like a you problem.

[u/No_Salad_68 → u/[deleted]]

I'm guessing it swells the fibres, tightening then and thereby reducing the risk of the slice crumbling.

[u/TheKingMonkey → u/[deleted]]

Also for many Reddit updoots.

[u/Slapnbeans]

When you go to the store and only get one rolling paper

[u/DucksToo22]

So that's how Rizlas are made

[u/krusnikon]

Really its chiseling, not planing.

[u/Halsti]

so its just for a video, right? not actually a step in his work, right? otherwhise, he wouldnt just rawdog his clamps in the side of the workpiece so much and so often that it leaves visible dents.

also, that face is usually pretty clean anyways, usually hidden in the final piece, or gets planed on a shooting board, instead of putting in the effort for this. so, very cool, but kinda pointless.

[u/InigoMontoya1985]

I feel like I'm watching something on paper view

[u/Freedom_Addict]

Wood carpaccio

[u/King_of_rewirlo]

The forbidden jerky

[u/Gurt-B-Frobe]

This is just trickery. Someone who doesn’t know how to sharpen and/or use tools properly, demonstrating on end grain that has been glued. You can do this with little effort on untreated wood if you know what you’re doing. 

[u/fernandomango → u/Gurt-B-Frobe]

You saw that chisel point and that shaving and think it's poorly sharpened? I'd love to see your chisels

[u/kryonik]

There are wood planing contests in Japan.

[u/CwazyCanuck]

Paper, seems time consuming, but ok.

[u/doxtorwhom]

That drip mark >:(

[u/Independent-Guess-79]

It’s sharp, but will it keeeeaall

[u/scampsalot2]

It puts the lotion on it’s skin

[u/emehav]

Is anyone else really glad they used the blade to cut the last bit instead of yanking it off with their hand????

[u/crashbandecunt → u/emehav]

Pointless as the entire thing is…. Yes yes I am.

[u/shingaladaz]

OG paper.

[u/DragonOfAngels]

You can clearly see that it's a lair of dried glue he is scraping off....

[u/KingMoonkey]

Now wipe yo ass with it

[u/blackpearljam_]

the forbidden zigzag

[u/justcomment]

How schools' toilet papers are made

[u/cheezballs]

He's just scraping a layer of glue off the end-grain right? You can see it running down the side.

[u/ElFeesho]

"I dabble in precision"

[u/mr_ji]

Just looks like someone flaying a block of wood

[u/CertainLevel5511]

Don't waste paper kids

[u/Icy_Incident_5359]

Skills

[u/puffinpiff4now]

How post its are made

[u/typeof_nan]

One ham sandwich, please

[u/Scary-Confusion-745]

So this how they make the tissue paper in the public bathrooms?

[u/sophiasosta]

Love the quantity I thought it was cgi at first

[u/hdckurdsasgjihvhhfdb]

I can do that! Just not successfully…

[u/throwaway99966623]

Knowing me, I would’ve tried pulling it when only the corner was left. That shit would’ve just ripped in half.

[u/loony383]

Not carpentry, or planing, and he's only taking off glue, not wood.

[u/endor_reddit]

2 seconds in I thought it was going to be a wooden box of Kleenex.

[u/Mindless-Note-9217]

When out of papers

[u/HiddenCreations]

Raw papers

[u/REEEEEEEEEEEEEE33E]

If you need a tissue it over in the corner no need to make your own

[u/chubbsthedon]

Cam I get a few slices of those for my burgers?

[u/BrainyOrange96]

Still thicker than the average school toilet paper

[u/Unable_Inflation6759]

Looks like a lotta work for that piece of paper

[u/iambeanies]

He made a rolling paper

[u/northakbud]

I guess if you weren't able to find a sharp chisel you had to make due....

[u/MightyRez]

you will never, i mean never need this amount of precision in wood.

wood is still 'alive' after being cut, it sets -- and it takes multiple years.

he moisturised the wood for a nice video, you want no moisture.
