Excellent presentation, I had missed the live stream.
Thanks Josh & Ben
Very informative and interesting. Josh did a good job and Ben’s close up shots were a great addition. I would love to learn saw history from him.
I really enjoyed this stream. Very informative and it gave me a much better understanding of what to look for when shopping for vintage planes.
I hope you will continue to provide such streams on your Finewoodworking site.
Just watched this webinar - late February 2021 - and greatly enjoyed it. I am, today, 'completing' (will it ever actually end?) a renovation on a Canadian made Stanley Bailey No.3 Sweet Heart plane. It is my primary plane, that likely belonged to my Grandfather who was a cabinet maker from the late 1800's until after WWII.
