      Now I can get some sleep. That plane of yours not cutting was beginning to rattle me and I don't rattle easy. ha..ha..

      Sounds like you need to fine tune the sharpening techniques and not the plane. Leonard Lee's Complete Guide to Sharpening is an excellent book, BTW.

   As Sarge said it looks as if you need to work on your sharpening skills.

   If you want I can help with those skills by sending you some blades that need sharpening. There are about 30 or more that really need to be worked on.

   Todd,

   Good for you!  I glad you found the trouble before you ran out of patience.  It's happened to me.

   I once got a Lee Valley blind nailer (an impulse purchase).  It's a very simple little thing.  It's supposed to raise a splinter on the wood, still attached at one end.  Then you can stick a finishing nail--or even a small screw--under the splinter, and glue the splinter back over to hide it.

   Simple!  Easy!  Genius!  Except for one thing:  it doesn't work.  I fought that &#$*@#$%&ing thing for about as ling as the Vietnam war, without ever getting it to do anything but frustrate me--at which it accomplished with great thoroughness.  I finally ran out of desire for such a tool and tossed under some other never-use tools in the bottom drawer of my tool chest!

   ps, I just happen to have for sale a...Ahhh...never mind.  I wouldn't do that to any of you wonderful people.
