Thanks, Derek. I now have the chisel as it came except that it is flat ground at 30 degrees instead of 40 degrees. I will copy your slicks with no secondary. So now I can go ahead and polish that...

Whew ! Lo-o-o-o-g Title ......

A few weeks back I questioned what direction seemed most fun for me to jump to get a few paring chisels. Somebody who shall remain nameless ( but whose name...

Edwin, Edwin, Edwin,

You have touched my nerve. I will never endorse an American League team. They play with ten men. That ain't baseball. Still, you have hit my soft spot, so I will...

Okay. To be fair

In 1957 I moved from Illinois to New Jersey. I hated the Yankees (American League). I hated the Giants. I hated everybody who wasn't Ernie Banks and the Chicago Cubs. I was...

I guess I don't share the low opinion of many on this board of the Woodpeckers badge. I own many of their tools in both aluminum and stainless steel. I find WP to be remarkably responsive to me and...

Jim thanks for your efforts. I haven't a clue how to respond to a PM ! I can read it, but cannot respond. My work is small. Maybe tiny even. Large parting chisels won't work for me. Thanks...

Wow, Derek !

Had I known you were occupied at a woodworking show I could have flown down to Perth, and run off with your Blue Spruce chisels and been back in Virginia before you knew it. That...

Yes. I know. This topic has been beaten to death. Nevertheless, when I get to the end of any thread on this topic I am totally confused. So here goes:

For whatever reason Veritas does not...

I would like to pass along information I received from my wife's attorney:

"To Pat and Patrick,

Thank you so much for recommending to Brian that he needs to buy 2-3 more additional planes. ...

Can I reliably buy the Veritas Combination Plane and then NOT buy the rabbet plane? My wife will have very strong and urgent messages for me if I unload $400 on a combination plane and then whine...

Du-u-u-u-u-h !

Mike, I guess next you'll want me to actually READ the forum headings ! It saaaaays right up there "hand tools". I told you I was getting old.

Thanks for setting me...

Thanks, Mike!

I guess I didn't know what the Neanderthal forum was. Prolly cause I am one. I also have power tools able to do the job. I am however at my age eager to work in the quiet as...

Okay, I receive forgiveness from Her Highness on a frequent basis. But buying the Veritas Combination plane is a $400 assault on the old checking account. So before I throw away hard earned...

Chris, I don't know if I have been tickled more by your post or Erik's. :>) I don't know exactly why I am more comfortable cutting off the outside of the blade than against the fence, but there...

I am at a loss as to how to adjust the blade tracking on a flat tire. Crowned? Yes, I understand. Please explain your method of adjusting your blade tracking on a flat tire surface.

I have been lurking several years, but recently joined. I have every reason to believe that this topic has been covered completely if I was mentally able to knit all the conversations together. ...
