Excellent video. Extremely informative for a novice wood worker. Have you done one on sharpening knife and use proper use of the plane?

What grit/kind of sandpaper did you use to flatten the bottom?

@not2shabbyaggie 8 жыл бұрын

+Tim Newsome Start with 220 (I use 220 - wet) and work your way up to 600 or 800.

Hi! How would you proceed if the two sides are not squared to the sole? Whould you flatten one side first and then square the sole to this side and then square the other side to the sole? And how?

If you're not going to use it for shooting, it's not that big of a deal. If that was important to you I think I'd find another plane.

What grit of sandpaper do you recommend for baseline flattening of old or new plane parts?

@buttpounder2005 3 жыл бұрын

120 works well

@waratahdavid696 3 жыл бұрын

Start with about 100. Then go finer once its flat. If your ocd finish with 1200 lol

I do have a question I can’t quite get my blade square any suggestions

@1pcfred 5 жыл бұрын

Keep working at it? Persevere and you will overcome. Now as for how long that may take that will be down to your aptitude and general abilities. You already have a well defined goal so that's a plus.

Awesome but missed one thing he didn't sharpen the iron blade

@BlackSwan912 9 жыл бұрын

He did say he had already done that. This was about tuning the plane, not sharpening the blade... a whole 'nother topic!

@jimschowe2770 6 жыл бұрын

It would be better if you used an exaggerated figure 8 movement to flatten the sole of the plane.

@wrstew1272 5 жыл бұрын

Jim Schowe Why would you say that? Lateral forces would more likely than not round the sole rather than flattening it. Straight forward and straight back. Simple and repeatable. KISS formula
