I bought about the same amount of wood, same species, just a little bit more expensive and the guy threw in a Bedrock 607 and four Bell System braces. I'll probably build a cabinet for the braces...

The epitome of needless rabbit holes.

I suspect he's happy with his routine and what it does for him in the shop.

The instructions that came with Record hand planes from essentially time immemorial until sold to Irwin (maybe they still do), specifically mentioned (at some length, not tangentially) moving the cap...

Too much gear by at least half. You're shaping and honing the iron, not all that stuff you've managed to collect. Buy a coarse oilstone and shape the iron freehand checking it frequently against a...

Back off the lever cap pressure and get close on depth before you snap it down. You shouldn't need to wind the blade a long distance to working depth with the lever cap snapped down. Once you snap...

A No. 7, but with a spare blade that you've shaped to have a pretty profound curve to it. Some call it "camber" but whatever. Shape the end on a coarse oilstone, not at the grinder. If you don't...

Strip them then wax only. Whatever you use on the furniture you make is fine. Don't overthink it.

5/8" square ought to fit off the saw with maybe a little minor tidy-up with a chisel.

Fundamental misunderstanding of the appliance, its purpose, and application.

Most "hand tool woodworkers"...

I have removed old moldings both in old homes and from pieces of furniture. I have seen pieces where it was clear the maker had adjusted the fit with a chisel to make the molding fit a case that...

Learn to shoot freehand to an incised line. Every angle you shoot won't be 90* or 45* and building some of these Rube Goldberg contraptions that can accommodate other angles -- Big Nope. Just use a...

I like things in context. I don't think the workmen in the video value sharp edges any less, I just suspect that have them in firm context.

"What do you think?"

I think the knives being used in the videos were kept functionally sharp, and used for hours on end every week by craftsmen whose hands showed it.

They were not sharpened...

Look at their hands. They tell you everything.

Inveterate tool tuners and fettlers should love scrapers -- there are an infinite number of hooks that can be turned that produce heavy stock removal to practically no hook at all for de-whiskering a...

Sanded surfaces didn't turn out half-bad either. ;)

Lordy, it would sure be wonderful if every component of a piece of furniture had a finished thickness of 7/8". Wives, daughters, sisters, and aunts could be brought to bear on that. The reality is...

Bubble wrap, pool noodles (cut to fit), and suitcases.

Hog across grain or diagonally just be careful about blowing the far edge out. If you hog down the length you can hit a spot of turbulent grain and dig a chunk out that goes deeper than planned...

There's a risk they won't work well with a dining table with that deep an apron. The chairs you are contemplating and others of the same ilk (see link below) are more drawing room/smoking chairs. ...

Sarcastic/sardonic...

The plane was working rather well out of the box, despite those posters claiming the tool is essentially garbage.

Fair disclosure: I do not own any L-N bench planes.

I'd love to hear about how you handle large carcases -- ~8' tall 20"+ deep.

Beyond the artistic/design accomplishment, the skill was and is in setting up for high production. These chairs can be jigged for the router and shaper -- the jigs an engineering and 3-D masterpiece...

Greene & Greene often begs for a little lightening up and a pot board and overall slimmer proportions could do just that. Good luck.
