For you long time neanders this may not seem like a big deal, but some times you figure something out by trial and error and you are just like I gotta share this.
Well I have a #4, #5 , #6, and #7. After several sharpening cycles I got to thinking about how I can sharpen and set these (as a set) to maximize my pleasure and efficiency, so here is what I did. The #4 and #7 are set with little camber and a light cut, where as the #5, and #6 are set with more camber for a aggressive cut (not quite a scrub, thats coming for Christmas). With this set up and my new home made mahogany winding sticks I can flatten wide boards in short order.:)
I love learning to use my tools
