A joy to behold! Didn’t have to go to the gym this day, eh? I have amassed a fair collection of the mentioned cast iron, from small block planes through jointers. Not as rapid as a power planer, but no dust collector screaming and you can really get in touch with the particular piece of wood that you are working with. For block planes the new ones are my favorite as they adjust more precisely, but some of the Stanley are close. Bet that the guys in Cremona used a hammer to adjust and local stone to sharpen. We have it easy in comparison in tooling, but the trade secrets are slower to gather. Congratulations on your sharing! You are always so happy at your job, has it always been so, or only after making a name that is rather well known?
Your point about making the acquaintance of this crucial piece of materials is spot-on! I'll do a riff on my favorite block plane, the Stanley # 65 pretty soon. I know the newbies have extra doo-dads, but I'll always be true to my 65's. They're really impossible to beat. Those Cremonese, and even earlier builders were just like you and me, but they had a way smaller hardware store. As you say, we have it easy! I have been in love with whatever's on my workbench forever, and have always thought it was a privilege to be able to dream and create on my own. Happiness is a built - in feature!
Hi Ken!!! this videos are a treasure for the guitar making community, I learn tons of new things on each one of them, thanks for that! Could you talk about how you storage your woods? I live in the south west of argentinean patagonia, with extreme winters and really hot and dry summers, and would like to know more on that subject, since it's always been an issue. p.s: you've met my dear friend and guitar building mentor Ezequiel Galasso, we've been following your work for ever
I'll be doing a riff on my devices to regulate relative humidity soon. Sounds like you live in a very challenging climate. Fortunately, adding moisture is way cheaper than removing it!

What an unbelievable privilege to sit and listen, many thanks.
Thanks, It's my pleasure!

Thanks for another great overview of your work good sir! I need to get some more tools
Who doesn't need more tools!
Good for you, join the club.

Yes, shavings not dust.
Shavings are beautiful, not so much dust. Beauty counts.
Thanx Ken!
I can see now I need a #6 plane! Maybe a # 8?
Off to google!

Oh yeah you do. Happy Hunting!
