Woodcraft's New WoodRiver V3 #4 Smoothing Plane Reveal

Post by Chad »



My Growth Rings with Scott Markwood

SHOP NOTES: I'm calling this a reveal rather than a review because quite frankly I'm not the guy you want reviewing hand planes. You see, I'm a power tool guy, but as I mention in the video, I'm starting to fall back in love with hand tools. In recent months I've been researching planes and while there are some incredible planes available from Lie-Nielsen and Lee Valley, I just couldn't bring myself to part with that much of my hard-earned cash.

Enter the new Woodcraft WoodRiver line of planes. These planes are based on the venerable Stanley Bed Rock design, which also inspired Thomas Lie-Nielsen to recreate the vast majority of the planes in his line. They are roughly 1/2 the price of comparable Lee Valley Veritas planes, and 1/3 the price of the Lie-Nielsen planes.

This video follows me through my first impressions as I unbox and dissect the WoodRiver #4 smoothing plane. If you know nothing about planes I think this is will be a good trip for you to join me on. If you know everything there is to know about planes, don't waste your time watching.

You can find this plane on Amazon at: https://amzn.to/3ld5Tb6 This is actually a list of many of the tools that I have found to be indispensable in my shop. You may have to click the "Filter" link to show the items in the list. I suggest sorting them by priority.
