I just now built a rabbet* plane based on a video of his, like this afternoon. He does indeed make it look easy but I got it done, and it works. Not convinced it works better and/or faster than the rabbeting bit in my palm router, but it’s quieter and probably a little safer.

*He called it a ‘rebate’ plane rather than a ‘rabbet’ plane. I’m convinced that the term was coined back before spelling was invented and was pronounced something like “ruhBETTE”, and then carpenters in America spelled it “rabbet” and British carpenters spelled it “rebate” and then they wrote those spellings in textbooks which others read, which is why Americans pronounce it “bunny” and the British pronounce it “discount.”
