    3 Fillister planes match in skew direction. The Varvill & Sons (shown on the right) has the skew running in the opposing direction.

    The unanswered question is which skew direction offers an improvement within design. The best way to find out it to test out the Varvil & Sons Fillister Plane with its opposing skew direction. The major improvement award goes to Varvil & Sons. The curly shavings being worked were flowing freely from the escarpment without any need to manually intervene. The answer in hindsight lies in the fact that the skew direction is favoring the escarpment side of the plane.

    To better understand what I mean by manual intervention of the shavings, view the following video by Bill Anderson at the 10.40 min where he is working the long grain rebate. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKiJ46JhWSM

    The next Moving Fillister Plane build will include this Varvil & Sons feature.
