Technically speaking, you don't need a cambered chipbreaker, not even with a cambered iron. In the middle of the iron's edge the cut will be deepest, towards the edges it will be shallower and...
Now you are confusing things ;). Cutting angle is not bedding angle. You can skip all the aditional designators (bedding angle, bevel orientation) when you concentrate on cutting angle. The cutting...
I think one should be exact in these descriptions. If you could get a bevel down plane with a 37 degree bedding angle, I suspect it would give the same edge life as a bevel up plane with 12 degree...
In a bevel up plane, bedding 12 degrees, a 25 degree bevel angle gives you a cutting angle of 37 degrees. That is a lot less then the typical cutting angle from a bevel down plane, 45 degrees. I...
There were in fact two studies.
First I determined how to compare high angle planes to double iron planes in their anti tearout capabilities, with some measured numbers....
I would use rosehead nails. No countersinks in that case.
Simon, I invite you to read the entire study. Maybe there are one or two details new for you too. Or maybe not.
This is kind of interesting. I thought that we, as a community had this topic figured out completely in uther detail a few years ago. And then new people join the group and it all starts over again. 😄
Myanmar, picture I took in 2014.

PMV-11 is the same as Cartech CTS-XHP steel from Carpenter. We had several discussions about this a few years back.
I don't know where they make this steel. They do have a plant in China. There is...
I would be very happy to use my Stanley #3 a lot more instead of the #4, but it is the only one in my collection with a right hand thread adjuster which is a bit of a pain.
To be a little bit more exact: Yes, increased hardness increases the abrasion resistance of a steel, as long as we talk about the same composition of the steel! Adding a lot of chromium to a steel...
Just think about chopping into oak endgrain with an antler or bone chisel! Those guys and gals must have been top notch sharpening experts by the time they finished one mortise!
I had read this...
My Dutchies! Mostly because these are what I have, and they work very well. Nooitgedagt, from somewhere before WW2, or 1, or the Pruisian wars, or whatever.

Every old plane, wood or metal, I have refurbished had a dip in the sole just in front of the mouth. That is what makes the tight mouth such a red herring. Maybe on a brand new plane, properly...
For smoothing, but also for jointers and tryplanes, the chipbreaker is vital to prevent tearout in a bevel down plane.
To sum it up in a few words:
When you still get tearout, the chipbreaker...
The best way to know if you made a good deal is to calculate how much wood you accumulated and compare that to the local prices in your area. In your case I wouldn't take the areas with the nail...
But you added a lot of interesting info. Thanks.
There is a ropetrick in this picture. Look how the beam is clamped to one of the poles of the resawing contraption. They use a toggle to draw the rope tight.

I don't have much time now, but when you go to youtube and find yourself some video of a Japanese box maker or furniture maker, you most probably see them using rope to press parts together for...
Felibien!

Nr. E, left in the background.
What period are you talking about? I seem to remember some big panel clamps in Roubo, 18th century. Should have to look it up though.
But I do think they typically didn't have those gigantum...

Once I was in a pretty stupid mood and packed all the shavings in a paper bag, put it in the fireplace in my living room. At first I had troubles igniting it, but as soon as it started, the bag...
