    I am impressed. You are correct. My shop is the basement of my home which is a controlled environment.

    When I first started woodworking about 10 years ago, one of my first planes was a worn transitional. I resoled it with red oak from one of my trees. It worked fine then and still does nowadays when...

    Found my problem. The blade sides are not parallel. The MKII will only register one side. Fortunately an old home-made one allows me to register the other side. The plane now planes straight...

    I assume you have done some research first because you evenly tightened both knobs. That was a mistake I first made. So it is a pretty good bet that you had it centered in the jig. And that you...

    The lines bother me too. On my last box, my first corner was bad. So I put masking tape on the boards for the other three corners before before marking them. They came out all right. Minimal...
