Make a Scrub Plane Iron without Power Tools @TheHandToolery

Uploaded February 2018 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

In this video, I show how you can take a regular plane iron and convert it into a scrub plane iron in about 30 minutes, without any power tools, like a grinder. It's quite simple, and is a great exercise in learning how to sharpen non-standard blades/irons.

I hope you enjoy the video and that it's useful.
Best,
Andrew
