Been waiting for a long time for the next planes from Veritas.
Most of the time on the stones. But for grinding I would use a bench grinder. Belt sander is doable but does not produce a concave bevel. You could free hand a few times with free hand on a concave...
I read this as an important development. The biz continues. LV will do good with the name. Operations may change overtime as the biz climate changes but the name exist.
They did wreck havoc for many years and at times do.
I saw the new prices..... Some of the planes are up to 100 from the time I bought it. Difficult times. LV has always been careful with their price increase until now........... It is bad. Supply...
Quiet is subjective. How many dB do you want to tolerate with?
Depends on the tool. Generally Chisels and handplanes up to 8k.
Scotchbrite would do nicely
Blade is 25 plane it 12. Effective angle is 37
A practical woodworker with basic tools. The fundamentals are still practised and solid.
Norris plane. Not sure which brand. Not Veritas for sure.
Expensive tools without sharpening stones ain't worth it. Enjoy the stones. Do try to read the book from Ron Hock or Leonard Lee...
Good to hear from the man himself. Cheers Rob.

I don't have a picture right now. But it is a plank of wood wide enough to hold the stone in place and there are wood stops I fasten into the plank to secure the stone from moving. The length of the...
I sharpen at the sink. Fast and easy.
I used to collect quite a few Veritas and LN stuff. Nowadays I am building up another set from Record and Stanley tools. Many are duplicates of each other while some are not like the LV Jack plane. I...
Rob,
Thanks for the sharing. I hope that Lee Valley continues to operate in the coming years despite this new norm.

It depends on what you want to build. Most are with tablesaw some are with Bandsaw. If sheet good are usually what you work with then tablesaw. Solid stock you can get away with bandsaw.
If you don't appreciate the plane I would buy a second hand plane from Stanley or Record. Once you are able to appreciate the plane then move to Veritas or LN. Then the price does not seam so crazy....
Big yes. But the dimensions you would need to come up on your own. It follows the basic rules in wood working like 1/2 or 1/3 and etc.
Taobao is a lot cheaper. Use google translate to open this page: https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=584334815881
I bought it using a forwarding company in Malaysia, BuyMall. I believe in the States...
I have that book. Quite different topics. More on framing.
Here is a set I bought from taobao.
