Holy Mr. Miyagi Batman! I spent too much time plane shopping and not enough time painting the fence! I can already see having dedicated marking knives for soft or hardwood knife walls.

Great video James, thanks. Being a grumpy old Vietnam veteran with some PTSD issues I use woodworking as therapy. Sharpening is right up there with making shavings in the therapeutic department. I spend a lot of time at both of them.

I’m not a vet, and I know it doesn’t really compare, but sometimes I have nightmares about my patients in the psychiatric hospital (I work on the violent male floor, so if there isn’t a threat on my life during the shift I didn’t really work). Usually it’s the night before I go back in after a few days off. After, I usually can’t sleep so I go downstairs and make shavings with my #6. It takes my mind off of it and eventually wears me out to the point I can sleep again

I really like that marking knife style. It looks great and it seems simple to sharpen. This videos really inspire me to continue learning more about woodworking. Thank you for your hard work!!

Perfect timing, was going to start on filing and diamond stone grinding an old (DIY) annealed (Lidl I think) chisel into a marking knife tomorrow and that bit on the rounded tip on your knife was useful, think I may just end up doing that.

I've said it a few places but there's a great line in the new traditional woodworker. "good enough is good enough" maybe I like it so much because I've said something similar for a long time.

With OCD, there is no "Good Enough". A metal worker friend of mine says I am seeking to be to exact with my woodwork.

@fredericapanon207 4 жыл бұрын

@@thomasarussellsr determine what tolerances you can accept. E.g. +- 2-3 mm is more than enough for woodworking. It's in metal machining where tolerances can be +-10 thou (or less).

Super helpful! I have a suggestion for a video: bringing a router plane blade into square. I read through Paul Sellers’ article on it, but haven’t found any videos and I can’t seem to get it right. It’s been frustrating!

@WoodByWrightHowTo 4 жыл бұрын

I have seen a few people talking about that. But I've never actually come across a router plane that is out of square. I guess if someone regularly sharpened the back side of the blade then it might come out of square with the soul of the outer plane. I would have to think about it.

Thank you for the info. You're one of the few woodworking "influencers" I enjoy following. Do you have any tips and/or tricks for sharpening the small blade of a cutting gauge? Not the wheel type but the wedged blade type.

Honing that rounded tip in isn't nearly as hard as stropping it. Half of the time I end up cutting my strop with the curved tip. Not a big deal, it just messes with my OCD. :-) Keep up the good videos!

Stinky caught me lol. I would be interested in to why you find that Chris I haven't actually noticed any more damage one way or the other. I think I would actually lean slightly the other way because of having the sharp point make it far easier to dig in when you go back to the top of the strap.

Hey James, I caught an older video of yours on the Stanley 45 the other day, at the end you said "I could probably do a 3 or 4 hour long video on all the things the 45 can do." Any interest in doing one of your live streams on the 45? - A new 45 owner.
