Now that I'm becoming the ancient one, I'm recalling wisdom from the ancients who came before me.
one word (or sentence) from the ancient ones drifted to the surface as I was planing an edge a moment ago. "Don't pull the plane backwards with the sole down, lift it a little." Supposedly dragging the plane backwards without lifting dulls the blade.
So... True or false. I see lots of folks just drag the plane backwards. Does it really matter?
any other "wisdom of the ancients" out there to share? Curious minds want to know!
Thanks,
