I really enjoyed watching and learning from this video. I’m looking forward to part two. Thank you as always for providing great content on a wide variety of subjects.
Any plane must be leveled in working and assembled condition (that is, with the wedge and the blade inserted, but not fully extended), because when the blade and wedge are inserted, tension is created in the plane body and it can bend in any direction. Therefore, if you want to perfectly align your plane (down to fractions of a millimeter), then do it assembled. This applies to both wooden and metal planes. I leveled about 10 planes this way.
I love seeing the different techniques and tools used in wood carving. Every artist has their own unique style.
Good to see Roy's old shop again.
Nice demonstration. It would have been nicer if it had included a demonstration of the refurbished plane in action.
Dang wanted to see it at work, come on Bill your killing me. Some great tips in here.
Good process for me to learn, thanks!
