Nicely put Ken.
Great news!
No problems Greg. My videos are diabolical, but sometimes helpful.
I wish I could see the edge but I'm not a paying member of SMC so I can't.
I think if you're able to slice paper and trim end...
Hi Greg. Sorry to hear you've been having difficulty.
If you haven't resolved this yet I recommend sticking with a coarser stone for a while. #1000 grit is plenty fine enough.
Make absolutely...
Agreed. Luckily we have access to the Record, Rapier and Marples versions for not much in the UK.
Lovely to see this useful little plough get a new lease of life. I think Record DNA is strong within all the Veritas plough/combi planes.
If those bars are fixed like that it would be a shame. I...
A very practical workbench, Mike! May you have a happy partnership!
Nothing wrong with following Rob's tutorials if they help you get what you want.
If you feel you must buy his products to succeed he has been effective as a salesman.
If you have the money and...
I known it's a pain Derek. Even the most basic video takes effort. If you get the time to make a vid come and post a link. I'd be interested.

Hi Derek
It's clear you are far more advanced than James. Your work speaks for itself. In the case of the Veritas custom plane you could offer up a short video. No fancy editing, I know it would...
Hi James
History shows the No.4 to be perhaps the most ubiquitous plane ever. It's unlikely you will be disappointed. Unless that is you are completely satisfied with the No. 4 1/2
I find the...
As others have said, Warren is a gold mine. Forums like this aren't a busy as they once were but there is good advice to be found.
Agreed Mark. I don't always contribute, but I check in regularly and always appreciate reading his contributions.
It's very pleasing to see this. Thanks for making it happen Rob.
I hope Ron has a long and happy retirement.
Hi Ken
The last idea you have is pragmatic and effective. I'd make the groove the same width as the component. It works well for handrail and balustrade so would be effective.
Otherwise it's...
Jim, it's amazing how we adopt phrases. It was the most polite way I could describe myself 😉.

I seem to recall Kees having photos of some mortice chisels that are narrower at the top. I'm pretty sure my old OBM chisels are bias that way.
Those jigs work well with modern bench chisels...
Thanks Derek.
I tried reading the link, it migh be my phone, but the blog isn't broken up into paragraphs. I might try looking at it on my computer.
I got the gist which seems it's an option...
Neat job Derek. I'm with you on sharing simple tips, jigs etc. The paywalls seem to be raised on lots of things now, basic sharpening etc. Have you got a link to how much he's selling the ply...
For those interested in David Weaver's thoughts he's mentioned these irons here.

We bought the big Domino at work, somewhat reluctantly. However it has proved to be versatile and paid for itself.
I don't personally see using a domino as less skilled than using a tablesaw. In...
Mike, thank you for sharing this build. It's nice to see pictures! As I'm not a paying member I do miss out. Not complaining, 'tis house rules.
What's the top? Looks like stone?
