    I don’t know who first discovered this technique, nor do I think it really matters. But Rob first started discussing his results with this technique not during the pandemic, but over ten years ago....

    I’ve planed acrylic sheets on a shooting board for a small picture frame project and it worked perfectly. I too think it would work fine on PVC.

    That’s interesting, because I ordered (perhaps not) the same chisel June 2021 and it still hasn’t shipped.

    Edited to add: it occurred to me that perhaps the Veritas chisel you ordered was a bench...

    Mine were ordered May and June, 2021. I too have not received order updates over the last year. Lee Valley has always been exceptional in my book, which is why it’s curious they have not been...

    Congrats! I’m still waiting on a couple of Veritas mortise chisels ordered a year ago. LN isn’t even taking orders on mortise chisels..

    My gosh, what an interesting discussion. Debating weither owning x number of smoothing planes + y number of block planes + z number of eggbeater drills makes one more than/less a woodworker than...

    One option is to use the Veritas dual mortise gauge. You can put the bevels on whatever side you need.

    I only use that gauge to mark the tenons. There is no need to have two gauge lines to mark...

    For the record, the only Veritas saw I own is a flush trim saw, therefore I have zero experience with the Veritas dovetail saw. Having said that, I see the same 1-2 people bashing Lee Valley and...

    He didn’t say he found a crosscut saw that didn’t cut dovetails well. He said the Veritas dovetail saw is filled crosscut instead of rip. Big difference. And he is also insinuating that the members...

    What facts would that be? You can only libel a company for so long before the facts catch up with you.

    None of that is what I’m taking issue with. You stated multiple times now that the Veritas dovetail saw is filed crosscut. It is not. And you are also implying that those that state that fact are...

    I don’t think at this point the conversation is about what works for you. Or YMMV. Or someone trying (or not) to sell a saw. It’s about you calling out the Veritas dovetail saw as filed crosscut when...

    Rob, hopefully in the future the product supply challenges that we see today will be resolved. Having said that, it would have been nice if the customers who have had product on order for months and...

    I too saw Rob’s video and I’ve never tried this myself, but I don’t think the sides need to be square to the back for this to work. I’ve seen Paul Sellers do this for years and he doesn’t use mortise...

    I’m a little/lot late on this, but actually most of the Veritas custom planes (4-1/2, 5-1/2, 7) use the 2-3/8” blade.

    I build a shooting board just for the Veritas shooting board plane, and I still use it for my 90* work. However, I did buy the the LV board and fence when it came out, and it is excellent. I just...

    Another use for a shoulder plane-today I made a picture frame for my son. I made the rebate for the glass and picture, then mitered the frame. As it turned out, the internal dimensions of the frame...

    True indeed, but I think the word you were looking for is etymologist. An entomologist deals with the study of insects.

    Yes, Sellers uses a router plane… on the tenon cheek. As do I. But the shoulder plane is useful for truing up the tenon shoulder, thus the name shoulder plane. And I’m not selling anything.

    I have the large and small LV shoulder planes-use them both a lot. Be advised that a skewed rebate plane and a shoulder plane are not the same thing.

    I’m sure Rob will chime in at some point, so as a suggestion I sure would like to see Lee Valley make jaws for their skewed blades (skew block, skew rabbet, side rabbet, etc.) that mount to the LN...

    Brian should know what plane his blade came out of, but it sure doesn’t look like the blade from my Veritas Skew Rabbet plane. I’ve owned this plane for many years now and the blade for it is skewed...
