Do you have a picture of the "stand"?

Thanks

Very nicely done - might use a similar look for an upcoming project. (I know the OP hasn't been on since posting this)

Speaking of knots. My latest projects are with Rustic Doug Fir - which means lots of knots ...and lots of sharpening experience.

Nice write up. Thanks for the link. I've experienced the same thing. Will try the mag base as a handle.

jtk,

Cap iron.
I use a screw driver for this too. After taking the time to true up the cap iron, don't want to use it as a lever and effect the edge.

How long have you been using this method?

I've been using this method for a couple of years - but this only includes a...

I have enjoyed reading the previous threads on sharpening, stones, etc.

Does anybody follow Paul Sellers method. I watched him a while ago and that is the way I have been doing it.

They didn't have drive-in movie theaters when you were young?:)

I'm guessing that they will be fine the way the are. Besides, it only takes a few minutes to re-sharpen. To see how the float holds up, I used the 3/16" side float and cut a groove 3/4" deep by...

Thanks Steve. I had thought about buying used ones, but don't know anything about them. Figured by making them, would know what I have.

I'll have to look into Tod and his classes.

Good advice...

Thanks Pam. I'll check into it.

Thanks guys.

I am looking for the title of a book that describes how to make molding planes.

Thanks
