Need a plane?
Here is Paul Sellers on planes:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10RPOPBTwZA He is a British woodworker and has a number of great videos - one memorable one is building a wonderful bench outdoors under a tree with hand tools. Three things to note about this video: He sets his planes down on the bench on their soles He does not lift the planes on the return stroke He is planing straight grained wood,not figured Great stuff |

Some of my favorite plane vids. The first two are short but the third is 17 minutes long so it's only for the true plane fan, it says a lot about how you set a plane up though. The second shows a width of cut I had never seen before.

I use a variety of plane styles and all can be adjusted to cut well. Another big draw of Veritas and other similar quality planes is that they are much quicker and more accurate to adjust.

IIRC he is the man who first advocated using glass cleaner instead of water to lubricate diamond sharpening stones ... something which I have done for ages, to excellent effect. His setting of the plane on the sole instead of the side brings back memories from 40+ years ago, when as a mere stripling I had the audacity to argue with the journeymen that setting a plane on its side was a nonsense ...on a clean bench the only way to set a plane down was on its sole. It was far safer IMO, and lessened the chance of damage to the plane iron (we didn't call them "blades " back then ...they were always referred to as "irons") When one was out on site, of course, one would always set the plane down on its side ...in the workshop, with a clean bench ...totally unnecessary. |

wow! measuring plane shavings with a snap gage!, to 10 microns! in a completion! pretty cool.
i wonder if a .00039 thick shaving is the result of a blade setting vs. just applying more or less pressure? |
