Congrats! Now you're ready to play!
Amen! Being able to shave just the scallops is gratifying. It took a couple honing sessions to stop putting too much camber!
Agreed. Get to flat with a decent straightedge along length/width...
Took a long time. I had to make plane irons almost perfectly square, very very slight camber. After all the rough cutting with the jointer, I would make a set of diagonal or straight passes with my...
What phil said plus, your top does not need to be dead flat. I just flattened my bench two weeks ago. I have a couple of spots with .001 or .002 gaps. Only makes a difference (very very small)...
That's what i figured. As bad as I didnt want to admit it. Thanks for the link. Learn something everyday! FYI, the blade is .25" thick, required wedge/mouth repair. Using it without chipbreaker...
If you used a dry chemical fire extinguisher...

Get a stanley No. 5. It is one of the most useful sizes. Great all around plane and is the perfect size to use on a shooting board. You've already got a 7. 6 is too close to that. Get a no. 5...
So...
Made a new wedge for a wooden coffin smoother so that I could fit a different blade. Had to pare/float the wedge abutments and test fit many times. Good so far. Then I did a mouth repair....
My experience; 15 for soft wood, 25 for hard. No backbevel. But, i have a bunch of floats too. If paring gets dicey or if i think i'm not accurate enough, then i go to the shooting board or the...
Not sure what the question is...? Are you asking what the best setup is or the best way to apply the glue? I use a q-tip, acid brush or larger brush to apply. Use a cooking thermometer to calibrate...
Very cool! This will keep my eyes a little more open at the fleamarket.
Kinda. Keeps - some - pieces from lodging in as tightly.
Magnet on glass is pretty slick! Wish i had thought of that 10 years ago when i had my jointer. I was fiddling with it by hand using a straightedge and micrometers.
Welcome! Lots of knowledge within. Don't hesitate to post questions if the same question or answer is not already posted.

Make sure the sole is flat
😎 Yea, me too.

My stanley 10 1/2 has the same repair. No problems... Except the blade getting short now. 😀
Exactly what i use
If file card does not work, then i go to a small wire brush. If that fails I take a scribe and clean individually. All methods running parallel to file teeth.
I went through this same thought process. If you keep increasing the bevel, youre in for some frustration as your plane blade bevel gets higher. Here is what I do now. I slow grind the primary...
I go from 240 thru 1400 or 1600. Anything after that is past the point of diminishing returns. Not saying I didnt put my norris and Spiers of Ayr smoothers on leather with flexcut (i just kinda got...
Osvaldo, Good luck to you too. It is hard to move and give up the shop you've built. I've done it three times. That is why I went neander. Moving powertools around was too much. Forced me to...
You're no hoarder! 😜 I think the pieces you are keeping are worth keeping and I would organize them the same... if I had that many. Anything longer than a few inches finds a way to stick around in...
