Sharpening plane blades

Postby Lurker » 01 Jan 2022, 12:58

No I’m not at least interested in your way, I know mine is the best :D

Today I have been doing the first serious bit of planing for maybe two years.
I put together my collection of planes maybe ten years ago and had a bit of a fad buying at car boots and fettling planes then selling some so I could buy more. I can’t remember paying more than a fiver for any of them.
I have ended up with a boxful of bits, if anyone needs something.
What I did do is to keep sharpened spares with chipbreaker ready to go. Certainly paid off this morning on some oak laminated kitchen top I am making into a mega carving board for my nephew.

Sharpening session tomorrow, when I will……... no you don’t want to know :D

You're all wrong.

I've not read a single word any of you have written, but I believe this is the correct default setting for this topic.

Oh, Alf, that is the best laugh I have had in ages. Beautifully framed! :eusa-clap:
