    I've got 2. My favorite sound, so far at least is the sound of a nice sharp hand plane blade, like a number 7 taking a nice long crisp shaving. It's just a super satisfying sound. And my current...

    I don't think it would be an issue for the planer but doesn't the spindle sander keep all it's accessories, etc on-board? I wouldn't think that would work upside down. Should be pretty easy to deal...

    I haven't read through all the responses, so this might have been mentioned. But the only time I have had a diamond stone/stick/cone/etc stop cutting is when I used too much force. All of them have...

    The surgical black are such a nice stone to use, you won't regret having one. Or a nice translucent, that's next on my list for treating myself. I sharpened a pocket knife on a buddy's very nice...
