Very helpful, thanks, I learned a lot from this series, especially what I was doing wrong with sharpening & the simple bench accessories for holding the work.
Great video,very helpfull for getting planes ect really.What I don't understand is setting the planes down on the bench, face down,surely there is a great chance you will damage the edge laying it straight on the bench.I was always told,golden rule always lay a plane on its side.
Very well done. It really explained the basics well.
Great series Mike, very well explained. I've got quite a bit of experience but still picked up some tips that will help me along.
Thanks a lot!
